NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated interim financial statements are unaudited, and certain information and footnote disclosures related thereto normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Eastman Kodak Company and all companies directly or indirectly controlled, either through majority ownership or otherwise (“Kodak” or the “Company”). The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year. These consolidated interim statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Form 10-K”).
RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
No accounting pronouncements were recently adopted by Kodak.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. ASU 2024-03 requires public business entities to disclose specified information about certain costs and expenses, including but not limited to purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization, in a tabular format within the notes to their financial statements, as well as provide additional disclosures related to certain other specified expenses. The ASU may be applied on either a prospective or retrospective basis and is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 (January 1, 2027 for Kodak) and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027 (January 1, 2028 for Kodak). Kodak is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other— Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. ASU 2025-06 modernizes the accounting for internal-use software to reflect the evolution of software development to using an incremental and iterative development method. Accordingly, the ASU removes all references in Subtopic 350-40 to prescriptive and sequential software development phases (or “project stages”), and requires an entity to start capitalizing software costs when both (1) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and (2) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. The ASU may be applied using either a prospective, retrospective, or modified transition approach, and is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027 and interim reporting periods within such annual reporting periods (January 1, 2028 for Kodak). Kodak is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832). ASU 2025-10 establishes authoritative guidance on the accounting for government grants received by business entities, as GAAP previously did not provide specific authoritative guidance about the recognition, measurement and presentation of government grants. This ASU may be applied using either a retrospective, modified retrospective, or modified prospective approach, and is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2028 and interim reporting periods within such annual reporting periods (January 1, 2029 for Kodak). Kodak is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU.
In April 2026, the FASB issued ASU 2026-01, Equity (Topic 505): Initial Measurement of Paid-in-Kind Dividends on Equity-Classified Preferred Stock. ASU 2026-01 requires that such dividends be initially measured on the basis of the dividend rate stated in the preferred stock agreement. The ASU may be applied on either a prospective or modified retrospective basis, and is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods (January 1, 2027 for Kodak). Kodak is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU.

The Other component above consists of other miscellaneous long-term liabilities that, individually, were less than 5% of the total liabilities component in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, and therefore have been aggregated in accordance with Regulation S-X.
NOTE 6: DEBT AND CREDIT FACILITIES
Term Loan Credit Agreement
On March 11, 2026, in connection with the Series B Preferred Stock Amendment (refer to Note 7, “Redeemable, Convertible Preferred Stock” for additional details on the Series B Preferred Stock Amendment), the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into the Fourth Amendment to the term loan credit agreement (the “Term Loan Amendment”), which amends the Company’s Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of June 30, 2023 (as amended, the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”) between the Company, certain of its subsidiaries, the lenders party thereto, and Alter Domus (US) LLC, as administrative agent. Under the Term Loan Credit Agreement, the term loan lenders provided the Company with a commitment to provide term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $450 million (the “Term Loans”). Certain holders of Series B Preferred Stock as well as funds under common management with holders of the Series B Preferred Stock are lenders under the Term Loan Credit Agreement.
The Term Loan Amendment required the Company to prepay an aggregate $50 million principal amount of Term Loans on or prior to March 18, 2026 and requires an additional $50 million principal amount of Term Loans on or prior to June 1, 2026, in each case, plus a prepayment premium equal to one percent.
On March 13, 2026, the Company paid $50 million of the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans, $1 million in accrued uncapitalized interest and a prepayment premium equal to one percent of the principal amount paid. The Company recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $1 million during the first quarter of 2026. The $50 million principal amount due on or prior to June 1, 2026 is included in Short-term borrowings and current portion of long-term debt in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
NOTE 7: REDEEMABLE, CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
Redeemable convertible preferred stock was as follows:
On February 25, 2021, the Company filed with the Department of Treasury of the State of New Jersey a Certificate of Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the “Series B Certificate of Designations”) which established the designation, number of shares, rights, preferences and limitations of the Company’s 4.0% Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, no par value (the “4.0% Series B Preferred Stock”), which became effective upon filing.
On February 26, 2021, the Company agreed to exchange one million shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by Southeastern Asset Management, Inc. (“Southeastern”) and Longleaf Partners Small-Cap Fund, C2W Partners Master Fund Limited and Deseret Mutual Pension Trust, which were investment funds managed by Southeastern at the time (such investment funds, collectively, the “Purchasers”), for shares of the Company’s 4.0% Series B Preferred Stock, on a one-for-one basis plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The fair value of the 4.0% Series B Preferred Stock at the time of issuance approximated $95 million. The Company classified the 4.0% Series B Preferred Stock as temporary equity in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
Embedded Conversion Features
Kodak allocated $1 million of the fair value from the issuance of the 4.0% Series B Preferred Stock to a derivative liability based on the aggregate fair value of an embedded conversion feature on the date of issuance. The carrying value of the 4.0% Series B Preferred Stock at the time of issuance, $93 million ($95 million fair value of 4.0% Series B Preferred Stock on February 26, 2021 less $1 million allocated to the derivative liability and $1 million of transaction costs) was being accreted to the mandatory redemption amount using the effective interest method to Additional paid in capital in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as a deemed dividend from the date of issuance through the mandatory redemption date, May 28, 2026.
Dividend and Other Rights
Holders of 4.0% Series B Preferred Stock were entitled to cumulative dividends payable quarterly in cash at a rate of 4.0% per annum. If any shares of the 4.0% Series B Preferred Stock had not been converted prior to May 28, 2026, the Company was required to redeem such shares at $100 per share plus the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends.
Series B Preferred Stock Purchase
On December 5, 2025, certain funds affiliated with Kennedy Lewis (such funds, collectively, the “KL Funds”) purchased all outstanding shares of the 4.0% Series B Preferred Stock from the Purchasers or their successors in privately negotiated transactions.
Extinguishment of 4.0% Series B Preferred Stock
On March 11, 2026 (the “Amendment Date”), the Company filed with the Department of Treasury of the State of New Jersey a Certificate of Amendment to the Series B Certificate of Designations which amended certain terms of the Company’s 4.0% Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock Amendment”) and set forth the terms of the Company’s 6.0% Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, no par value (the “6.0% Series B Preferred Stock”).
The Company evaluated the amendment to the Series B Preferred Stock and determined that the 6.0% Series B Preferred Stock is substantially different from the 4.0% Series B Preferred Stock, primarily as a result of the embedded conversion option which is being accounted for separately as a derivative following the amendment. Accordingly, the Company accounted for the transaction as an extinguishment of the 4.0% Series B Preferred Stock and the issuance of a new 6.0% Series B Preferred Stock. The Company recognized a $2 million deemed dividend, recorded to Additional paid in capital in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, representing the excess of the fair value of the 6.0% Series B Preferred Stock over the carrying value of the 4.0% Series B Preferred Stock as of the Amendment Date.
6.0% Series B Preferred Stock
The total fair value of the 6.0% Series B Preferred Stock on the Amendment Date was approximately $102 million, of which $30 millionwas allocated to the embedded conversion options and recorded separately as a derivative liability (See “Embedded Conversion Features” section below for additional details). The remaining $72 million is being accreted to the mandatory redemption amount using the effective interest method to Additional paid in capital in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as a deemed dividend from the Amendment Date through the mandatory redemption date, June 11, 2029. The Company has classified the 6.0% Series B Preferred Stock as temporary equity in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
The 6.0% Series B Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Company's common stock, par value $.01 per share ("Common Stock") with respect to dividend rights and rights on liquidation, winding-up and dissolution. The 6.0% Series B Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $100 per share, and the holders of 6.0% Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to cumulative dividends payable quarterly in cash at a rate of 6.0% per annum. Holders of 6.0% Series B Preferred Stock will have certain limited special approval rights, including with respect to the issuance of pari passu or senior equity securities of the Company. The Series B Preferred Stock Amendment also includes certain limitations on the Company’s ability to incur certain debt for borrowed money without the consent of the holders of 66 2/3% of the outstanding 6.0% Series B Preferred Stock, provided that the Company would have the right to redeem the 6.0% Series B Preferred Stock in full for cash if such consent is not provided (subject to the terms set forth in the Series B Preferred Stock Amendment).
Redemption Features
If any shares of 6.0% Series B Preferred Stock have not been converted prior to June 11, 2029 (the “Mandatory Redemption Date”), the Company is required to redeem such shares at $100 per share plus the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends. As the Company concluded the 6.0% Series B Preferred Stock is considered more akin to a debt-type instrument, the redemption feature is considered to be clearly and closely related to the host contract and therefore was not required to be separated from the 6.0% Series B Preferred Stock.
Conversion Features
Each share of 6.0% Series B Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of each holder at any time, into shares of Common Stock at the initial conversion rate of 10.00 shares of Common Stock for each share of 6.0% Series B Preferred Stock (equivalent to an initial conversion price of $10.00 per share of Common Stock). The initial conversion rate and the corresponding conversion price are subject to certain customary anti-dilution adjustments. If a holder elects to convert any shares of 6.0% Series B Preferred Stock during a specified period in connection with a fundamental change (as defined in the Series B Preferred Stock Amendment), such holder can elect to receive a make-whole premium, payable in additional shares of Common Stock, following the conversion of Series B Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock if a fundamental change has occurred. In each case, the holder will also be entitled to receive shares with respect to accumulated dividends. In addition, the Company will have the right to require holders to convert any shares of 6.0% Series B Preferred Stock in connection with certain reorganization events in which case the conversion rate will be adjusted, subject to certain limitations.
The Company has the right, subject to certain conditions, to cause the mandatory conversion of the 6.0% Series B Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock in three tranches, each representing one-third of the 6.0% Series B Preferred Stock if the closing price of the Common Stock has for 45 trading days within a period of 60 consecutive trading days a) equaled or exceeded $14.50 after eighteen months from the Amendment Date, b) equaled or exceeded $15.50 after twenty four months from the Amendment Date and c) equaled or exceeded $16.50 after thirty months from the Amendment Date (in each case, the amount per share is subject to adjustment in the same manner as the conversion price).
Upon a voluntary or mandatory conversion of the 6.0% Series B Preferred Stock, to the extent the Company would otherwise be required to issue shares of Common Stock in excess of the number permitted without obtaining shareholder or regulatory approval, the Company is required to pay cash in lieu of issuing such excess shares. The cash payment is determined based on the market value of the Common Stock as of the applicable conversion date.
Embedded Conversion Features
The Company concluded the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded conversion features are not considered clearly and closely related to the 6.0% Series B Preferred Stock. Accordingly, these embedded conversion features were bifurcated from the 6.0% Series B Preferred Stock and separately accounted for on a combined basis as a single derivative liability. The Company allocated $30 million of the total fair value of the 6.0% Series B Preferred Stock to the derivative liability based on the aggregate fair value of the embedded conversion features as of the Amendment Date. The derivative is being accounted for at fair value with subsequent changes in the fair value being reported as part of Other charges, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
The fair value of the embedded derivative as of March 31, 2026 was a liability of $42 million and is included in Other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Refer to Note 19, “Financial Instruments” for information on the valuation of the derivative.
On March 11, 2026, in connection with the Series B Preferred Stock Amendment, the Company entered into an amendment to an existing agreement (the “Side Letter”) with Kennedy Lewis Management LP and Kennedy Lewis Capital Partners Master Fund III LP, KLIM Delta HQC3 LP, Kennedy Lewis (EU) SPV LP and KLCP Co-Investment Opportunities III LP, (each, a “Fund”) which provides that no Fund shall have the right to convert any shares of 6.0% Series B Preferred Stock to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, the Fund, together with the Fund’s Attribution Parties (as defined in the Side Letter), would collectively beneficially own a number of shares of Common Stock of the Company in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). The Funds may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation at any time upon not less than sixty-one (61) days’ prior written notice to the Company.
Investor Rights Agreement
On March 11, 2026, in connection with the Series B Preferred Stock Amendment, the Company entered into an Investor Rights Agreement (the “Series B Investor Rights Agreement”) with Kennedy Lewis Investment Management LLC (together with its affiliates and certain funds, accounts or clients managed, advised or sub-advised by Kennedy Lewis Investment Management LLC or its affiliates, “Kennedy Lewis”). Under the terms of the Series B Investor Rights Agreement, Kennedy Lewis is entitled to certain preemptive rights in connection with future issuances of the Company’s equity securities and the Company is entitled to rights of first refusal in connection with any proposed transfer by Kennedy Lewis of the Series B Preferred Stock, in each case, subject to customary terms and conditions. In addition, the Company has agreed to provide Kennedy Lewis with a reasonable opportunity to participate in future debt financings.
Registration Rights Agreement:
On March 11, 2026, in connection with the Series B Preferred Stock Amendment, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Series B Registration Rights Agreement”) with Kennedy Lewis. Under the terms of the Series B Registration Rights Agreement, Kennedy Lewis (i) is entitled to require the Company to register for resale the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, along with other shares of Common Stock held by Kennedy Lewis, on a shelf registration statement and (ii) has certain demand rights with respect to takedowns from such shelf registration statement. The Series B Registration Rights Agreement includes customary terms and conditions, including certain customary indemnification obligations.

NOTE 9: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had outstanding letters of credit of $24 million issued under the Amended and Restated L/C Facility Agreement, as well as bank guarantees and letters of credit of $2 million, surety bonds in the amount of $54 million, and restricted cash of $100 million, primarily related to cash collateral supporting the Company’s undiscounted actuarial workers’ compensation obligations with the NYS WCB, cash collateral to ensure payment of possible casualty and workers’ compensation claims, cash collateral supporting the outstanding letters of credit under the Amended and Restated L/C Facility Agreement, to ensure payment of possible legal contingencies, hedging activities, environmental liabilities, rental payments and to support various customs, tax and trade activities. The restricted cash is recorded in Other current assets and Restricted cash in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
Kodak’s Brazilian operations are involved in various litigation matters in Brazil and have received or been the subject of numerous governmental assessments related to indirect and other taxes in various stages of litigation, as well as civil litigation and disputes associated with former employees and contract labor. The tax matters, which comprise the majority of the litigation matters, are primarily related to federal and state value-added taxes and income taxes. Kodak’s Brazilian operations are disputing these matters and intend to vigorously defend its position. Kodak routinely assesses all these matters as to the probability of ultimately incurring a liability in its Brazilian operations and records its best estimate of the ultimate loss in situations where it assesses the likelihood of loss as probable. As of March 31, 2026, Kodak’s Brazilian operations maintained accruals of approximately $7 million for claims aggregating approximately $51 million inclusive of interest and penalties where appropriate. The unreserved portion of the indirect taxes, civil litigation and disputes involving former employees and contract labor claims, inclusive of any related interest and penalties, for which there was at least a reasonable possibility that a loss may be incurred, amounted to approximately $5 million.
In connection with assessments in Brazil, local regulations may require Kodak’s Brazilian operations to post security for a portion of the amounts in dispute. As of March 31, 2026, Kodak’s Brazilian operations have posted security composed of $7 million of pledged cash reported within Restricted cash in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and liens on certain Brazilian assets with a net book value of approximately $41 million. Generally, any encumbrances on the Brazilian assets would be removed to the extent the matter is resolved in favor of Kodak’s Brazilian operations. The matter securing the lien on the non-cash assets was resolved in favor of Kodak’s Brazilian operations on March 12, 2024. On September 29, 2025, the Notary Register Office confirmed the cancellation of the lien on Brazilian non-cash assets. Recognition of the enrollment by the Internal Revenue Service is in process and Kodak expects the process to be completed within the next several months.
In addition, Kodak is involved in various lawsuits, claims, investigations, remediations and proceedings, including, from time to time, commercial, customs, employment, environmental, tort and health and safety matters, which are being handled and defended in the ordinary course of business. Kodak is also subject, from time to time, to various assertions, claims, proceedings and requests for indemnification concerning intellectual property, including patent infringement suits involving technologies that are incorporated in a broad spectrum of Kodak’s products such as the on-going patent infringement claims brought by FUJIFILM Corporation against Eastman Kodak Company (in the US) and its German subsidiaries (in Germany) alleging that certain of Kodak’s SONORA process free plates infringe four of its patents in each jurisdiction. These matters are in various stages of investigation and litigation and are being vigorously defended. Based on information currently available, Kodak does not believe that it is probable that the outcomes in these various matters, individually or collectively, will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. Litigation is inherently unpredictable, and judgments could be rendered or settlements entered that could adversely affect Kodak’s operating results or cash flows in a particular period. Kodak routinely assesses all of its litigation and threatened litigation as to the probability of ultimately incurring a liability and records its best estimate of the ultimate loss in situations where it assesses the likelihood of loss as probable.
NOTE 10: GUARANTEES
In accordance with the terms of a settlement agreement concerning certain of the Company’s historical environmental liabilities at Eastman Business Park, a more than 1,200-acre technology center and industrial complex in Rochester, New York, in the event the historical liabilities exceed $99 million, the Company will become liable for 50% of the portion above $99 million with no limitation to the maximum potential future payments. There is no liability recorded for this guarantee.
Extended Warranty Arrangements
Kodak offers its customers extended warranty arrangements that are generally one year but may range from three months to six years after the original warranty period. The change in Kodak’s deferred revenue balance in relation to these extended warranty and maintenance arrangements from December 31, 2025 to March 31, 2026, which is reflected in Other current liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, was as follows:

Contract Balances
The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed trade receivables, unbilled receivables (contract assets), and customer advances and deposits (contract liabilities) in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The contract assets are transferred to trade receivables when the rights to consideration become unconditional. The amounts recorded for contract assets at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was $5million and is reported in Other current assets in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The contract liabilities primarily relate to brand licensing agreements, prepaid service contracts or upfront payments for certain equipment purchases. The amounts recorded for contract liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was $91 million and $94 million, respectively, of which $41 million and $42million, respectively, was reported in Other current liabilities and $50 million and $52 million, respectively, was reported in Other long-term liabilities.
Revenue recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the respective fiscal years was $27 million and $19 million, respectively, and primarily represented revenue from prepaid service contracts and equipment sales. Contract liabilities included $23 million and $18 million of cash payments received during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Kodak does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less or for which revenue is recognized at the amount to which Kodak has the right to invoice for services performed.
Performance obligations with an original expected length of greater than one year generally consist of deferred service contracts, operating leases and licensing arrangements. As of March 31, 2026, there was approximately $80 million of unrecognized revenue from unsatisfied performance obligations. Approximately 15% of the revenue from unsatisfied performance obligations is expected to be recognized in the remainder of 2026,15% in 2027, 10% in each of 2028 and 2029 and 50% thereafter.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the difference between Kodak’s effective tax rate and the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0% was primarily attributable to: (1) the movement of valuation allowances associated with changes in net deferred tax assets from current losses and earnings; (2) the jurisdictional mix of earnings (including US state); and (3) foreign withholding taxes.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the difference between Kodak’s effective tax rate and the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0% was primarily attributable to: (1) the movement of valuation allowances associated with changes in net deferred tax assets from current losses and earnings and (2) a provision associated with foreign withholding taxes on undistributed earnings.
In December 2021, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) introduced Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (“BEPS”) Pillar 2 rules that impose a global minimum tax rate of 15%. Many participating countries enacted changes which took effect in 2024. After considering the applicable tax law changes in the Pillar 2 implementation, Kodak determined there was no material impact to its tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
In March 2026, German Federal Fiscal Court (BFH) ruling (I R 37/22) confirmed that profit and loss transfer agreements ("PLTA") must be actually and timely implemented to maintain a valid tax group in Germany, including timely settlement of profit or loss compensation amongst entities in the group. Kodak is in the process of gathering information and assessing the impacts, if any, on the tax positions of the entities in the Company's German group for the 2021-2025 periods that are impacted by this ruling.

(1) The special termination benefits were incurred as a result of Kodak’s restructuring actions and have been included in
Restructuring costs and other in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for that period.
On January 21, 2025, the Board of Directors of Kodak approved the termination of the Kodak Retirement Income Plan (“KRIP”), effective March 31, 2025, and no further benefits were accrued under KRIP following this date. In addition, the Board of Directors approved a defined benefit retirement plan (the “Kodak Cash Balance Plan”) as a replacement for KRIP which became effective on March 1, 2025 for new hires and on April 1, 2025 for then current employees. The benefits under the Kodak Cash Balance Plan are substantially the same as those under the cash balance feature of KRIP. On November 26, 2025, all pension obligations under KRIP were fully settled and the excess pension assets were reverted to the Company.
Basic earnings per share are calculated using the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share calculations include any dilutive effect of potential common shares. In periods with a net loss available to common shareholders, diluted earnings per share are calculated using weighted-average basic shares for that period, as utilizing diluted shares would be anti-dilutive to loss per share.
A reconciliation of the amounts used to calculate basic and diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 follows:

As a result of the net loss available to common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2026, Kodak calculated diluted earnings per share using weighted-average basic shares outstanding. If Kodak had reported earnings available to common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2026, the calculation of diluted earnings per share would have included the assumed vesting of 1.8 million unvested restricted stock units, the assumed exercise of 0.7 million stock options and the assumed conversion of 0.3 million shares of 6.0% Series B Preferred Stock as permitted by the Beneficial Ownership Limitation.
As a result of the net loss available to common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2025, Kodak calculated diluted earnings per share using weighted-average basic shares outstanding. If Kodak had reported earnings available to common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2025, the calculation of diluted earnings per share would have included the assumed vesting of 1.8 million unvested restricted stock units, the assumed exercise of 1.6 million stock options and the assumed conversion of 1.0 million shares of 4.0% Series B Preferred Stock.
The computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2026 excluded the impact of (1) the assumed conversion of 0.3 million shares of 6.0% Series B Preferred Stock as permitted by the Beneficial Ownership Limitation and (2) the assumed exercise of 1.7 million outstanding employee stock options because the effects would have been anti-dilutive.
The computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2025 excluded the impact of (1) the assumed conversion of 1.0 million shares of 4.0% Series B Preferred Stock, (2) the assumed conversion of 1.2 million shares of Series C Preferred Stock and (3) the assumed exercise of 1.7 million outstanding employee stock options because the effects would have been anti-dilutive.
The Company has 560 million shares of authorized stock, consisting of: (i) 500 million shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share and (ii) 60 million shares of preferred stock, no par value, issuable in one or more series.
Common Stock
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were 97.6 million and 97.4 million shares of common stock outstanding, respectively.
Preferred Stock
Series B Preferred stock issued and outstanding included 1.0 million shares of 6.0% Series B Preferred Stock at March 31, 2026 and 1.0million shares of 4.0% Series B Preferred Stock at December 31, 2025 .
Treasury Stock
Treasury stock consisted of approximately 3.2 million and 3.0 million shares as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Kodak has three reportable segments: Print, Advanced Materials and Chemicals and Brand. Kodak’s reportable segments are based on a combination of factors that the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) uses to evaluate and manage the business operations, including but not limited to, Kodak’s organizational structure, customer base, markets, products and services and related technologies. Kodak does not aggregate operating segments. A description of Kodak’s reportable segments follows.
Print: The Print segment is comprised of four lines of business: the Prepress Solutions business, the PROSPER business, the Software business and the Electrophotographic Printing Solutions business.
Advanced Materials and Chemicals: The Advanced Materials and Chemicals segment is comprised of five lines of business: the Industrial Film and Chemicals business, the Motion Picture business, the Pharmaceuticals business, the Advanced Materials and Functional Printing business and the IP Licensing and Analytical Services business.
Brand: The Brand segment contains the brand licensing business.
The balance of Kodak’s continuing operations, which primarily represent the operations of Eastman Business Park ("EBP") and do not meet the criteria of a reportable segment, are reported in All Other revenues and All Other Operational EBITDA.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in Note 1 included in the 2025 Form 10-K. There are no intersegment sales between the segments.
Kodak’s CODM is the Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Kodak’s segment measure of profit and loss is an adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Operational EBITDA”). Operational EBITDA represents the loss from operations excluding the provision for income taxes; non-service cost components of pension and other postemployment benefits (“OPEB”) income; depreciation and amortization expense; restructuring costs and other; stock-based compensation expense; interest expense; other operating expense, net and other charges, net.
The CODM uses Operational EBITDA in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources for each segment predominantly through the annual budget and forecasting process. The CODM evaluates Operational EBITDA budget-to-actual variances and changes in Operational EBITDA from prior periods when comparing the results of each segment with one another.
Segment financial information is shown below. Asset information by reportable segment is not disclosed below as this information is not regularly provided to or used by the CODM in assessing performance and allocating resources.

There was no change to employee benefit reserves in the three months ended March 31, 2026. Kodak increased employee benefit reserves by approximately $1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 due to an increase in workers' compensation reserves driven by changes in discount rates. The increase in reserves in the three months ended March 31, 2025 impacted gross profit by approximately $1 million.

NOTE 19: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Kodak, as a result of its global operating and financing activities, is exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity pricing and interest rates, which may adversely affect its results of operations and financial position. Kodak manages such exposures, in part, with derivative financial instruments. Foreign currency forward contracts are used to mitigate currency risk related to foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities, as well as forecasted foreign currency denominated intercompany assets.
Kodak’s exposure to changes in interest rates results from its investing and borrowing activities used to meet its liquidity needs. Kodak does not utilize financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.
Kodak’s foreign currency forward contracts are not designated as hedges and are marked to market through net loss at the same time that the exposed assets and liabilities are re-measured through net loss (both in Other charges, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations). The notional amount of such contracts open at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was approximately $190 million and $224 million, respectively. The majority of the contracts of this type held by Kodak as of March 31, 2026 are denominated in Chinese renminbi and Japanese yen and as of December 31, 2025 were denominated in Chinese renminbi, Japanese yen and European euros.
The net effect of foreign currency forward contracts in the results of operations is shown in the following table:

Kodak had no derivatives designated as hedging instruments for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
In the event of a default under any of the Company’s credit agreements, or a default under any derivative contract or similar obligation of Kodak, subject to certain minimum thresholds, the derivative counterparties would have the right, although not the obligation, to require immediate settlement of some or all open derivative contracts at their then-current fair value, but with liability positions netted against asset positions with the same counterparty.
Fair Value
Fair values of Kodak’s foreign currency forward contracts are determined using observable inputs (Level 2 fair value measurements) and are based on the present value of expected future cash flows (an income approach valuation technique) considering the risks involved and using discount rates appropriate for the duration of the contracts. The gross fair value of foreign currency forward contracts in an asset position are reported in Other current assets and the gross fair value of foreign currency forward contracts in a liability position are reported in Other current liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The gross fair value of forward contracts in an asset position as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was zero and less than $1 million, respectively. The gross fair value of foreign currency forward contracts in a liability position as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was $2 million and less than $1 million, respectively.
The fair values of long-term debt (Level 2 fair value measurements) are determined by reference to quoted market prices of similar instruments, if available, or by pricing models based on the value of related cash flows discounted at current market interest rates. The fair values of long-term borrowings were $100 million and $151 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and the current portion of long-term debt approximate their fair values at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized based on the actual date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. There were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
As disclosed in Note 7, “Redeemable, Convertible Preferred Stock”, the embedded conversion options were bifurcated from the 6.0% Series B Preferred Stock and are accounted for on a combined basis as a single derivative liability. The fair value of these embedded conversion options is determined using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 fair value measurements). The Company estimates the fair value of each embedded conversion option using a binomial lattice model, and the combined fair value is recorded as a derivative liability.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
Kodak is a global manufacturer focused on commercial print and advanced materials and chemicals. With 79,000 patents earned over 130 years of research and development ("R&D"), Kodak believes in the power of technology and science to enhance what the world sees and creates. Kodak’s innovative, award-winning products, combined with its customer-first approach, make Kodak the partner of choice for commercial printers worldwide. Kodak is committed to environmental stewardship, including industry leadership in developing sustainable solutions for print.
Consolidated revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $265 million, an increase of $18 million (7%) when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. Currency fluctuations had a favorable impact on revenues ($7 million) in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Print revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $180 million, an increase of $15 million (9%) compared to the prior year quarter. Print revenues accounted for 68% of Kodak’s total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Advanced Materials and Chemicals revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $76 million, an increase of $2 million (3%) compared to the prior year quarter.
Economic Environment and Other Global Events:
Kodak sells and services its products globally, with more than half of sales generated outside the U.S. The macroeconomic environment remains highly volatile due to changes in trade policies, including tariffs or other trade restrictions or the threat of such actions, geopolitical conflicts, fluctuations in commodity prices, elevated inflation and on-going supply chain constraints, all of which have impacted Kodak’s operations.
These conditions have contributed to increased manufacturing costs, primarily due to the impact of U.S. tariffs on imported goods (including aluminum, steel and certain raw materials and component parts used in Kodak’s manufacturing and supply chain), as well as increases in commodity prices including aluminum and silver, higher labor, material, and distribution costs, and lower production volumes. The Company has implemented various pricing actions, productivity improvements, supply chain and workforce optimization initiatives and other cost savings activities. In addition, the Company has renegotiated supplier contracts and obtained certain tariff exemptions. Collectively, these actions have largely mitigated the impact of higher manufacturing costs and, as a result, did not have a material adverse effect on Kodak’s operations, financial condition or cash flows for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.
Kodak continues to actively monitor the developments related to tariffs to assess additional actions that may be taken to mitigate the effects of future tariff changes, including further pricing actions, additional cost reduction measures, securing alternative suppliers and evaluating potential changes to the Company’s manufacturing footprint. However, there is substantial uncertainty about the duration of existing tariffs or pauses in tariffs, tariff levels and whether additional tariffs or other retaliatory actions may be imposed, modified or suspended. Countries subject to such tariffs have imposed or may in the future impose reciprocal or retaliatory tariffs and other trade measures. These actions and the related rising political tensions could negatively impact global macroeconomic conditions and the stability of global financial markets. The ultimate impact of any tariffs is uncertain and will depend on various factors, including whether the tariffs are maintained and/or implemented, the duration of the tariffs, any exceptions or exemptions that are or may become available and the timing of their implementation, and scope, all of which could have a material adverse effect on Kodak’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
As a result of a trade case brought by the Company in the U.S., the following duties are currently being imposed on U.S. imports of aluminum lithographic printing plates: (i) anti-dumping duties of 115.84% on plates manufactured in China by Fujifilm and 317.43% on such plates manufactured in China by other entities, (ii) countervailing duties of 35.66% on practically all plates manufactured in China, and (iii) anti-dumping duties of 91.83% on practically all plates manufactured in Japan. Fujifilm has appealed the basis for the imposition of these duties. These duties are in addition to other tariffs that may be imposed on imports generally, including on aluminum derivative products to the extent applicable. There can be no assurance that the duties imposed on imported plates will provide Kodak effective relief and will not be reduced or impaired by any appeal or other challenge.
Kodak has implemented numerous measures to mitigate the challenges associated with supply chain disruptions and shortages in materials, including increasing safety stock on certain materials, increasing lead-times, providing suppliers with longer forecasts of future demand and certifying additional sources or substitute materials where possible. These measures have enabled Kodak to largely meet current demand.
The Advanced Materials and Chemicals segment has experienced labor shortages in certain manufacturing areas. Increased demand for consumer film products along with manufacturing equipment limitations and labor shortages have contributed to increased backorders. The Advanced Materials and Chemicals segment has increased headcount and made capital investments in equipment upgrades and new equipment that increased capacity and streamlined processes which has reduced backorders and improved operational efficiency. Increased demand for film products may continue to place stress on manufacturing equipment and the labor force without further investment or additional hiring in key areas.
The ongoing changes in global economic conditions and the impact of other global events on Kodak’s operations and financial performance remains uncertain. A further deterioration in economic conditions, sustained supply chain disruptions or constraints in securing raw materials and components, or additional increases in manufacturing and other costs without further pricing actions, productivity improvements, supply chain mitigation actions or other cost saving measures, could unfavorably impact Kodak's operating results.
Kodak’s strategy:
Segments within the print industry and the film industry face competition from digital substitution. Kodak’s strategy is to:
•
Focus product investment in core competency areas of advanced materials and print, leveraging Kodak’s proprietary technologies to deliver technologically advanced products;
•
Promote the use of film and expand the applications of Kodak’s film and chemicals to best utilize the existing infrastructure; and
•
Continue to invest in automation and streamline processes to drive cost reductions and operating efficiencies and generate profitable revenues through a focus on customers.
A discussion of opportunities and challenges related to Kodak’s strategy follows:
•
Advanced Materials and Chemicals is using Kodak’s deep expertise in chemistry and strengths in deposition and coating processes that come from decades of experience in film manufacturing to work on new initiatives:
o
EV/Energy Storage Battery Material Manufacturing - Coating of substrates is a critical aspect of manufacturing materials for batteries and Kodak plans to capitalize on its expertise in coating technology to develop opportunities in this area. Kodak utilizes its pilot coating facility to conduct development of coated electrodes for a variety of battery, fuel cell, and solar film companies as well as low volume manufacturing of electrodes. Kodak has utilized an existing production coating facility to manufacture coated substrates for EV cell assembly. Investment in this production facility began in 2025 and will continue into 2026 to expand volume of battery components manufactured at the facility.
o
Pharmaceuticals Manufacturing - Kodak completed construction of its Current Good Manufacturing Practice (“cGMP”) lab and manufacturing facility at Eastman Business Park ("EBP") in 2025 and is now certified to manufacture reagents for certain healthcare applications. Kodak plans to expand the product offering over time and is in the process of obtaining ISO 13458 and FDA Class II certification for its manufacturing facility.
o
Light-Blocking Technology - A proprietary technology initially developed for electrophotographic toners is being leveraged to commercialize a carbon-less fabric coating designed to offer superior light management, from complete blackout to selective light filtering, and coating compatibility with an unmatched range of fabrics and
also to manage ultraviolet and/or infrared light in addition to visible light. Kodak has installed a production-scale machine to coat fabrics in EBP, located in Rochester, NY and continues to explore strategic alternatives in order to commercialize this technology.
o
Transparent Antennas - Kodak plans to leverage its proprietary copper micro-wire technologies and high-resolution printing expertise to contract-manufacture custom transparent antennas for automotive, commercial construction, and other applications requiring excellent radio frequency (“RF”) and optical performance. The integration of antennas is growing worldwide due to the rapid expansion of 5G and an overall increase in RF communications, and the ubiquity of glass surfaces makes transparent antennas attractive for multiple end-use markets. Kodak is evaluating this unique technology and expertise for transparent heaters for automotive and telecom applications, as well as for the manufacture of electronic films for the medical device market.
•
Print's digital plate products include traditional digital plates and KODAK SONORA Process Free Plates. SONORA Process Free Plates allow Kodak customers to skip the plate processing step prior to mounting plates on a printing press. This improvement in the printing process saves time and costs for customers. Also, SONORA Process Free Plates reduce the environmental impact of the printing process because they eliminate the use of chemicals (including solvents), water and power that is otherwise required to process a traditional plate. The segment's digital plate products are experiencing challenges from higher prices and availability of raw materials, digital substitution and competitive pricing pressures. Kodak seeks to mitigate the impact of increases in manufacturing costs through a combination of pricing actions, improved production efficiency and cost reduction initiatives. In addition, Kodak seeks to offset the impact of short-term and long-term market dynamics on pricing and volume pressures through innovations in Kodak product lines, including investing in digital print technologies.
•
In Print's digital printing businesses, the PROSPER Inkjet Systems product offerings are expected to grow and continue to build profitability. Kodak launched the PROSPER 7000 Turbo Press in June 2022. The PROSPER 7000 Turbo Press enables commercial, publishing and newspaper printers to compete more effectively with offset and to shift more long run jobs from conventional printing processes to inkjet. Investment in the next generation technology, ULTRASTREAM, is focused on the ability to place ULTRASTREAM writing systems in Kodak branded presses and in various original equipment manufacturers in applications ranging from commercial print to packaging. In addition, Kodak officially launched the KODAK PROSPER ULTRA 520 Digital Press utilizing Kodak's ULTRASTREAM inkjet technology, which offers offset print quality in a smaller footprint.
•
Film and related component manufacturing operations and Kodak Research Laboratories utilize capacity at EBP, which helps cost absorption for both Kodak operations and tenants at EBP. Kodak has invested in film manufacturing to increase capacity and to grow different initiatives in film. In the fourth quarter of 2025, Kodak launched its own direct distribution brand of still films which aim to provide distributors, retailers and consumers with more stable pricing and a broader, more reliable supply. In addition, Kodak announced the availability of KODAK VERITA 200D Color Negative Motion Picture Film (5206/7206), a new specialty film stock that expands the Company's motion picture portfolio and reinforces Kodak’s long-standing leadership in film.
•
Kodak plans to capitalize on its intellectual property through new business or licensing opportunities in 3D printing materials, smart material applications, and printed electronics markets.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Management’s Assessment of Liquidity
Kodak ended the quarter with a cash balance of $299 million, a decrease of $38 million from December 31, 2025.
During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company completed the settlement of the Kodak Retirement Income Plan ("KRIP") and received $144 million in net cash proceeds from the reversion of KRIP assets, after required debt payments and payment of excise taxes, as well as $158 million of investment assets, of which $9 million was converted to cash in December 2025. The investment assets received by the Company are primarily hedge fund investments which are in redemption.
During the first quarter of 2026, the Company received $46 million of cash from these redemptions. In April 2026, the Company received an additional $39 million of cash and expects to receive $16 million in cash proceeds during the remainder of 2026. The remaining value of the investment assets is expected to be converted to cash primarily in 2027 and 2028.
Available liquidity includes existing cash and cash equivalent balances. The amount of available liquidity is subject to fluctuations and includes cash balances held by various entities worldwide. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 approximately $173 million and $231 million, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents were held within the U.S. and approximately $126 million and $106 million, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents were held outside the U.S. Cash balances held outside the U.S. are generally required to support local country operations and may have high tax costs or other limitations that delay the ability to repatriate, and therefore may not be readily available for transfer to other jurisdictions. Kodak utilizes cash balances outside the U.S. to fund needs in the U.S. through the use of intercompany loans.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, outstanding intercompany loans to the U.S. were $479 million and $509 million, respectively, which included short-term intercompany loans from Kodak’s international finance center of $205 million and $235 million, respectively. In China, where approximately $36 million and $35 million of cash and cash equivalents was held as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, there are limitations related to net asset balances that may impact the ability to make cash available to other jurisdictions in the world. Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement, the Company is permitted to invest up to $75 million in Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Loan Parties and in joint ventures or Unrestricted Subsidiaries that are not party to the Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement.
The Company’s Hong Kong subsidiary has an intercompany loan from one of the Company’s Chinese subsidiaries with a maturity date of November 16, 2026, the proceeds of which were in turn loaned to the Company. The terms of the intercompany loan require the Company to make efforts to repay the outstanding loan balance prior to maturity. The outstanding amount of the intercompany loan as of March 31, 2026 was $68 million. The Company is evaluating repayment alternatives for the current loan agreement which would allow Kodak and its subsidiaries to perform their obligations to each other while minimizing the impact on U.S. liquidity taking into account requirements imposed by Chinese regulators. Any amounts repaid to the Chinese subsidiary may not be able to be loaned, repatriated or otherwise moved back to the U.S., in which case the Company’s U.S. liquidity would be reduced.
On March 11, 2026, the Company filed with the Department of Treasury of the State of New Jersey a Certificate of Amendment to the Series B Certificate of Designations which amended certain terms of the Company’s 4.0% Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock Amendment”) and set forth the terms of the Company’s 6.0% Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, no par value (the “6.0% Series B Preferred Stock”). The Series B Preferred Stock Amendment (i) extended the mandatory redemption date from May 28, 2026 to June 11, 2029, (ii) increased the annual cash dividend rate from 4.0% to 6.0% and (iii) reduced the conversion price from $10.50 to $10.00 per share and modified certain other conversion terms. The 6.0% Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of common stock; however, the timing and likelihood of such conversion are dependent on market conditions and other factors and is subject to certain restrictions whereby the Company would be required to pay cash in lieu of issuing shares in excess of a maximum number. The cash payment is determined based on the market value of the Company’s common stock as of the applicable conversion date.
On March 11, 2026, in connection with the Series B Preferred Stock Amendment, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into the Fourth Amendment to the term loan credit agreement (the “Term Loan Amendment”), which amends the Company’s Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of June 30, 2023 (as amended, the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”). Under the Term Loan Credit Agreement, the term loan lenders provided the Company with a commitment to provide term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $450 million (the “Term Loans”). The Term Loan Amendment requires the Company to prepay an aggregate $50 million principal amount of Term Loans on or prior to March 18, 2026 and an additional $50 million principal amount of Term Loans on or prior to June 1, 2026, in each case, plus a prepayment premium equal to one percent. On March 13, 2026, the Company paid $50 million of the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans, $1 million in accrued uncapitalized interest and a prepayment premium equal to one percent of the principal amount paid. The Company expects to fund the remaining required prepayment through a combination of cash proceeds from the redemption of KRIP investment assets and cash on hand.
Kodak's cash flows continue to be negatively impacted by higher manufacturing, labor, material and distribution costs, along with volume declines, supply chain disruptions and shortages in materials and labor. These impacts have been largely mitigated by price increases, savings relating to rationalization, cost reductions and operational efficiencies and supply chain-related cost improvements. In addition, the cash proceeds from the KRIP reversion and additional cash proceeds expected from the redemption or other monetization of investment assets provides additional liquidity to the Company to adequately fund on‐going operations.
The economic uncertainties surrounding the current inflationary environment and other global events represent additional elements of complexity in Kodak’s plans to return to sustainable positive cash flow. The Company cannot predict the duration and scope of such events, including the impact of rising costs of labor, commodity and distribution costs and increased product costs from tariffs, geopolitical conflicts and other factors such as the Company's ability to continue to secure raw materials and components, the
ability to increase prices to offset rising product costs or how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume.
Kodak's plans to return to sustainable positive cash flow include generating profitable revenues through continued pricing actions and customer-focused initiatives, investing in new product innovation to drive growth in Kodak’s businesses of print and advanced materials and chemicals, implementing effective working capital utilization, reducing operating expenses, continuing to simplify the organizational structure, investing in IT systems to drive operational efficiencies, effectively managing world-wide cash through intercompany loans, distributions or other mechanisms, generating cash from selling and leasing underutilized assets or through new licensing opportunities and implementing ways to reduce cash collateral needs.
Kodak believes its liquidity position is adequate to fund operations, meet its obligations and provide the flexibility to respond as necessary to ordinary changes in the business and economic environment within twelve months as of the filing of this Form 10-Q.
Letter of Credit Facility Agreement
Approximately $24 million of letters of credit were issued under the Amended and Restated L/C Facility Agreement as of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The letters of credit under the Amended and Restated L/C Facility Agreement are collateralized by cash collateral (the “L/C Cash Collateral”). The L/C Cash Collateral was $26 million and $25 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, which was classified as Restricted Cash.

Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities decreased $8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared with the corresponding period in 2025 primarily due to a decrease in trade receivables ($17 million) and trade payables ($3 million), partially offset by an increase in inventory ($23 million) and miscellaneous receivables ($7 million).
Investing Activities
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased $49 million compared to the corresponding period in 2025 due to cash proceeds from the redemption of KRIP reversion investments ($46 million), proceeds from the sale of preferred equity investment ($2 million) and a decrease in capital expenditures ($6 million), partially offset by proceeds from the sale of assets in the prior year ($5 million).
Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased $52 million compared to the corresponding period in 2025 primarily driven by the $50 million principal repayment of the Term Loans on March 13, 2026.
Other Collateral Requirements
The NYS WCB requires security deposits related to self-insured workers’ compensation obligations, which security deposits are recalculated annually. Due to changes in 2019 to the manner in which the required security deposit is determined, the Company has been required to post additional collateral over the last several years. At December 31, 2022, the Company posted $75 million of collateral, representing 107% of the Company’s undiscounted actuarial workers’ compensation obligations. Effective May 1, 2023, the Company added New York to its existing workers compensation liability insurance policy and is no longer self-insured for future claims. As a result, the NYS WCB confirmed the Company will no longer be obligated to post any additional collateral. On July 1, 2025, the Company submitted a current actuarial report to the NYS WCB and requested a review of the collateral requirements. The NYS WCB confirmed no change in the collateral was required at this time.
Based on the legacy nature of the Company’s workers’ compensation obligations, the undiscounted actuarial obligation has been declining and the Company expects this trend to continue. While it may not be indicative of the rate of future declines, the undiscounted actuarial liability declined by an average of $5 million per year between 2014 and 2025. Accordingly, subject to the possibility of other changes to the calculation of required security deposits by the NYS WCB, the Company expects the amount of the required security deposits to decline over time and the gradual return of the security deposits that have been made or the capital used to support such security deposits.
In the third quarter of 2023, the Company deposited $68 million directly with the NYS WCB and cancelled the corresponding letter of credit supporting the associated liability. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $50 million of surety bonds and $25 million deposited directly with the NYS WCB supporting the associated liability. The surety bonds are collateralized with $32 million of cash and the Company could be required to provide up to $18 million of cash or letters of credit to the issuers of certain surety bonds in the future to fully collateralize the bonds.
Other Uses of Cash Related to Financing Transactions
The holders of the Term Loans are entitled to quarterly cash interest payments at a rate of 12.5% which can be paid fully in cash or paid at a rate of 7.5% per annum in cash and 5.0% per annum payable in kind ("PIK") at the Company’s option (or entirely in PIK through the October 1, 2026 interest payment date). As a result of the Series B Preferred Stock Amendment, the holders are now entitled to cumulative dividends payable quarterly in cash at a rate of 6.0% per annum. All interest and dividends have been paid when due in cash.
Defined Benefit Pension and Postretirement Plans
Kodak made net contributions (funded plans) or paid benefits (unfunded plans) totaling approximately $3 million to its non-U.S. defined benefit pension and postretirement benefit plans for the three months ended March 31, 2026. For the balance of 2026, the forecasted contribution (funded plans) and benefit payment (unfunded plans) requirements for its pension and postretirement plans are approximately $6 million.
Capital Expenditures
Cash flows from investing activities included $6 million of capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Kodak expects approximately $45 million to $55 million of total capital expenditures for 2026.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Preparation of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. The accounting policies most critical to the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and that require the most difficult, subjective or complex judgments are described in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the 2025 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes in the Company's critical accounting policies or estimates since December 31, 2025.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As noted in the 2025 Form 10-K, Kodak operates and conducts business in many foreign countries and as a result is exposed to fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and other currencies. Volatility in the global financial markets could increase the volatility of foreign currency exchange rates which would, in turn, impact sales and net income. For a discussion of the Company's exposure to market risk and how market risk is mitigated, refer to Part I, Item 1A "Risk Factors" and Part II, Item 7A, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk", contained in the 2025 Form 10-K.
Item4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Kodak maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Kodak’s reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including Kodak’s Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Kodak’s management, with the participation of Kodak’s Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of Kodak’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Kodak’s Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Kodak’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Kodak is in the process of a multi-year project to modernize and enhance the Company’s global information technology systems to improve and standardize business and financial processes and to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of financial planning and reporting. As the phased implementation occurs, it may result in changes to processes and procedures which may result in changes to internal controls over financial reporting. As such changes occur, Kodak evaluates whether they materially affect the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
There have been no changes identified in Kodak’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Kodak’s internal control over financial reporting.
See Note 9, “Commitments and Contingencies” in the Notes to the Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements” for information regarding certain legal proceedings in which Kodak is involved.
