EASTMAN KODAK COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
 
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 to present fairly the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Eastman Kodak Company (“EKC” or the “Company”) and all companies directly or indirectly controlled, either through majority ownership or otherwise (collectively, “Kodak”). The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year. These consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Kodak is the primary beneficiary of a utilities variable interest entity, RED – Rochester, LLC (“RED”). Therefore, Kodak consolidates RED’s assets, liabilities and results of operations.  Consolidated assets and liabilities of RED are $71 million and $14 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2016 and $69 million and $13 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2015.  RED’s equity in those net assets as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 is $26 million and $25 million, respectively.  RED’s results of operations are reflected in net income attributable to noncontrolling interest in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period classification due to the presentation of discontinued operations, assets held for sale and for a change in the segment measure of profitability.  Refer to Note 16, “Segment Information” and Note 17, “Discontinued Operations” for additional information.

RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-03, Imputation of Interest (Sub-Topic 835.30):  Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.  ASU 2015-03 requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15 clarifying the application of this guidance to line of credit arrangements.  The amendments in the ASUs are effective retrospectively for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015 (January 1, 2016 for Kodak). The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on Kodak’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASU 2016-09 simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows.  The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016 (January 1, 2017 for Kodak).  Early adoption is permitted.  Kodak is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets as lease liabilities with corresponding right-of-use assets and eliminates certain real estate-specific provisions. The new leasing standard is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018 (January 1, 2019 for Kodak).  Early adoption is permitted.  Kodak is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments–Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.  ASU 2016-01 primarily affects the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. Under the ASU all equity investments in unconsolidated entities (other than those accounted for using the equity method of accounting) will generally be measured at fair value through earnings.  In addition, the FASB clarified guidance related to the valuation allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax assets resulting from unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities. The classification and measurement guidance will be effective for Kodak beginning January 1, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  Kodak is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740) Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes.  ASU 2015-17 amends the accounting for income taxes and requires all deferred tax assets and liabilities to be classified as non-current on the consolidated balance sheet. ASU 2015-17 is effective for fiscal years and interim reporting periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2016 (January 1, 2017 for Kodak), with early adoption permitted in any annual or interim period. ASU 2015-17 may be adopted either prospectively or retrospectively. Kodak is currently evaluating the method of adoption and expects ASU 2015-17 will have an impact on the consolidated balance sheet.  The current deferred tax assets in excess of valuation allowance were $22 million as of March 31, 2016.
 
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).”  ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition” and most industry-specific guidance.  The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.  In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09. In 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-08 and ASU 2016-10 clarifying the guidance regarding principle vs agent considerations, identification of performance obligations and analysis of licensing transactions. The new revenue standards are collectively effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017 (January 1, 2018 for Kodak) and allow either a full retrospective adoption to all periods presented or a modified retrospective adoption approach with the cumulative effect of initial application recognized at the date of initial application.  Kodak is currently evaluating the adoption alternatives and impact of these ASUs.

During the first quarter of 2016, Kodak updated its impairment analysis of the Kodak trade name to increase the probability of selling its Prosper business.  Based on the results of Kodak’s March 31, 2016 analysis, the carrying value of the Kodak trade name exceeded its fair value.  The pre-tax trade name impairment charge of $5 million is included in Other operating expense, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Due to the exit of its position in silver metal mesh touch screen development in the first quarter of 2016, Kodak concluded that the carrying value of intangible assets associated with those operations exceeded their fair value and recorded a pre-tax impairment charge of $8 million, which is included in Other operating expense, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Amortization expense related to intangible assets was $5 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.

Estimated future amortization expense related to intangible assets that are currently being amortized as of March 31, 2016 was as follows:

NOTE 5: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
As of March 31, 2016, the Company had outstanding letters of credit of $118 million issued under the Asset Based Revolving Credit Agreement (the “ABL Credit Agreement”), as well as bank guarantees and letters of credit of $4 million, surety bonds in the amount of $17 million, and restricted cash and deposits of $68 million, primarily to support compliance with the Excess Availability threshold under the ABL Credit Agreement, to ensure the payment of possible casualty and workers’ compensation claims, environmental liabilities, legal contingencies, rental payments and to support various customs, tax and trade activities. The restricted cash and deposits are reflected in Restricted cash, Other current assets and Other long-term assets in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
 
Kodak’s Brazilian operations are involved in various litigation matters 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.  Kodak is disputing these matters and intends 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, 2016, the unreserved portion of these contingencies, 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 $52 million.
 
In connection with assessments in Brazil, local regulations may require Kodak to post security for a portion of the amounts in dispute. As of March 31, 2016, Kodak has posted security composed of $6 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 $66 million.  Generally, any encumbrances on the Brazilian assets would be removed to the extent the matter is resolved in Kodak's favor.
 
Kodak is involved in various lawsuits, claims, investigations, remediation and proceedings, including commercial, customs, employment, environmental, 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.  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 any of these matters, individually or collectively, will have a material adverse effect on its financial position 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 6: GUARANTEES
 
EKC guarantees obligations to third parties for some of its consolidated subsidiaries. The maximum amount guaranteed is $17 million and the outstanding amount for those guarantees is $6 million.
 
In connection with the settlement of certain of the Company’s historical environmental liabilities at Eastman Business Park, 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.
 
Warranty Costs
 
Kodak offers its customers extended warranty arrangements that are generally one year, but may range from three months to five years after the original warranty period. Kodak provides repair services and routine maintenance under these arrangements. Kodak has not separated the extended warranty revenues and costs from the routine maintenance service revenues and costs, as it is not practicable to do so. Therefore, these revenues and costs have been aggregated in the discussion that follows. The change in Kodak’s deferred revenue balance in relation to these extended warranty and maintenance arrangements from December 31, 2015 to March 31, 2016, which is reflected in Other current liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, was as follows:

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the difference between the Company’s recorded provision and the provision that would result from applying the U.S. statutory rate of 35.0% is primarily attributable to: (1) losses generated within the U.S. for which no benefit was recognized, offset by income in certain jurisdictions outside the U.S. for which no provision was recognized due to management’s conclusion that it was more likely than not that the tax benefits would not be realized, (2) the results from operations in jurisdictions outside the U.S., and (3) changes in audit reserves.
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the difference between the Company’s recorded provision and the benefit that would result from applying the U.S. statutory rate of 35.0% is primarily attributable to: (1) losses generated within the U.S. and certain jurisdictions outside the U.S. for which no benefit was recognized due to management’s conclusion that it was more likely than not that the tax benefits would not be realized and (2) changes in audit reserves.
 
NOTE 10: RESTRUCTURING LIABILITIES
 
Charges for restructuring activities are recorded in the period in which Kodak commits to a formalized restructuring plan, or executes the specific actions contemplated by the plan, and all criteria for liability recognition under the applicable accounting guidance have been met. Restructuring actions taken in the first three months of 2016 were initiated to reduce Kodak’s cost structure as part of its commitment to drive sustainable profitability and included actions associated with the exit of Kodak’s silver metal mesh touch screen development, continued progress toward the Leeds plate manufacturing facility exit, as well as various targeted reductions in manufacturing, service, sales, research and development and other administrative functions.
 
Leeds Plate Manufacturing Facility Exit
 
On March 3, 2014, Kodak announced a plan to exit its prepress plate manufacturing facility located in Leeds, England.  This decision was pursuant to Kodak’s initiative to consolidate manufacturing operations globally, and is expected to result in a more efficient delivery of its products and solutions.  Kodak began the exit of the facility in the second quarter of 2014, phased out production at the site in the third quarter of 2015 and expects to complete the exit of the facility by the end of the second quarter of 2016.
 
As a result of the decision, Kodak currently expects to incur total charges of $25 to $30 million, including $10 million of charges related to separation benefits, $13 to $15 million of non-cash related charges for accelerated depreciation and asset write-offs and $2 to $5 million in other cash related charges associated with this action.
 
Kodak incurred other exit costs of $1 million in the first three months of 2016 under this program.
 
Under this program, on a life-to-date basis as of March 31, 2016, Kodak has recorded severance charges of $10 million, long-lived asset impairment charges of $3 million, accelerated depreciation charges of $10 million, and other exit costs of $2 million.

The severance and exit costs reserves require the outlay of cash, while long-lived asset impairments, accelerated depreciation and inventory write-downs represent non-cash items.

(2)  
The $(1) million represents severance related charges for pension plan special termination benefits, which are reflected in Pension and other postretirement liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the $5 million of charges includes $1 million of charges for inventory write-downs which were reported in Cost of revenues in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations. The remaining $4 million was reported as Restructuring costs and other.
 
The severance costs related to the elimination of approximately 50 positions, including approximately 25 manufacturing/ service positions and 25 administrative positions. The geographic composition of these positions includes approximately 25 in the United States and Canada, and 25 throughout the rest of the world.
 
As a result of these initiatives, the majority of the severance will be paid during periods through the first half of 2016. However, in some instances, the employees whose positions were eliminated can elect or are required to receive their payments over an extended period of time. In addition, certain exit costs, such as long-term lease payments, will be paid over periods throughout 2016 and beyond.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the special termination benefits charges of $1 million and $4 million, respectively, were incurred as a result of Kodak’s restructuring actions.

Kodak made contributions (funded plans) or paid benefits (unfunded plans) totaling approximately $4 million relating to its defined benefit pension and postretirement plans for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Certain of Kodak’s retirement plans were remeasured during the first quarter of 2016.  The remeasurement of the funded status of those plans during the first quarter increased Kodak’s recognized defined benefit plan obligation by $142 million.

NOTE 12: EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share computations are based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share include any dilutive effect of potential common shares.  In periods with a net loss from continuing operations, 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.

Weighted-average basic and diluted shares outstanding were 42.1 million and 41.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

As a result of the net loss from continuing operations presented for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, Kodak calculated diluted earnings per share using weighted-average basic shares outstanding for that period, as utilizing diluted shares would be anti-dilutive to loss per share. If Kodak had reported earnings from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, unvested restricted stock units of 0.1 million for both periods and warrants to purchase 0.7 million of common shares at March 31, 2015 would have been dilutive in the computation of diluted earnings per share:

The following securities were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as they would have been anti-dilutive:

The computation of diluted earnings per share for March 31, 2016 also excluded the impact of the assumed conversion of net share settled warrants to purchase (a) 1.8 million shares of common shares at an exercise price of $14.93 and (b) 1.8 million shares of common shares at an exercise price of $16.12 because they would have been anti-dilutive.

NOTE 13: SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Kodak 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. As of both March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, there were 42.1 million and 42.0 million shares of common stock and no shares of preferred stock outstanding. Treasury stock consisted of approximately 0.3 million shares at both March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Segment Measure of Profit and Loss

Kodak’s segment measure of profit and loss is an adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Operational EBITDA”).  As demonstrated in the above table, Operational EBITDA represents the income (loss) from continuing operations excluding the provision (benefit) for income taxes; corporate components of pension and OPEB income; depreciation and amortization expense; restructuring costs; overhead costs no longer absorbed by discontinued operations; stock-based compensation expense; consulting and other costs; idle costs; other operating expense, net (unless otherwise indicated); interest expense; other charges, net and reorganization items, net.

Kodak’s segments are measured using Operational EBITDA both before and after allocation of corporate selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”).  The segment earnings measure reported is after allocation of corporate SG&A as this most closely aligns with U.S. GAAP.  Research and development activities not directly related to the other segments are reported within the Intellectual Property Solutions segment.

 
16

 
 

Change in Segment Measure of Profit and Loss
 
During the first quarter of 2016, Kodak changed its segment measure of profit and loss.  The segment measure excludes overhead costs no longer absorbed by discontinued operations (see description above).  In addition, manufacturing costs originally planned to be absorbed by silver halide touch screen production are now excluded from the segment measure of profit and loss.  There were no manufacturing costs originally planned to be absorbed by silver halide touch screen production in the three months ended March 31, 2016 or 2015.

Prior period results have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

NOTE 18: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Kodak, as a result of its global operating and financing activities, is exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates 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.  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) earnings at the same time that the exposed assets and liabilities are re-measured through net (loss) earnings (both in Other charges, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations).  The notional amount of such contracts open at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was approximately $398 million and $384 million, respectively.  The majority of the contracts of this type held by Kodak are denominated in Euros, British pounds, and Chinese renminbi.

The net effect of foreign currency forward contracts in the results of operations is shown in the following table:

March 31,

Net gain from derivatives not designated as hedging instruments
  $ 2     $ 18  
                 

Kodak had no derivatives designated as hedging instruments for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.

In the event of a default under the Company’s Term Credit Agreements, the ABL Credit Agreement, 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 marketable securities are determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 fair value measurements).  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. Neither the fair value of marketable securities nor the gross fair value of the foreign currency forward contracts were material as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

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 quarter ended March 31, 2016.

The fair value of long-term borrowings is measured on a nonrecurring basis.  Fair values of long-term borrowings (Level 2 fair value measurements) are determined by reference to quoted market prices, 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 $638 million and $586 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

 The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and short-term borrowings and current portion of long-term debt approximate their fair values.

OVERVIEW

Kodak is a global commercial printing and imaging company with proprietary technologies in materials science, digital imaging science and software, and deposition processes (methods whereby one or more layers of various materials in gaseous, liquid or small particle form are deposited on a substrate in precise quantities and positions).  Kodak leverages its core technology products and services to develop solutions for the product goods packaging and graphic communications markets, and is commercializing products for the functional printing market. Kodak also offers brand licensing and intellectual property opportunities, provides products and services for motion pictures and other commercial films, and sells ink to its existing installed consumer inkjet printer base.
 
Revenue declined $49 million (11.9%) compared to the prior year quarter.  Operating cost reductions more than offset the resulting impact of the revenue decline on earnings.

Kodak’s strategy is to:
·  
Use Kodak’s divisional structure to drive accountability, transparency, and speed of decision making;
·  
Focus product investment in growth engines - Sonora, Packaging, Micro 3D Printing and Software and Services;
·  
Maintain stable market leadership position and cash flows associated with Print Systems;
·  
Manage the expected decline in and maximize cash generated by mature businesses;
·  
Continue to streamline processes to drive cost reductions and improve operating leverage; and
·  
Continue to explore opportunities to monetize the asset base.

A discussion of opportunities and challenges related to Kodak’s strategy follows:

·  
Print Systems’ 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. While traditional digital plate offerings are experiencing pricing pressure, innovations in Kodak product lines which command premium prices, such as SONORA Process Free Plates, are expected to offset some of the long-term price erosion in the market.  Print Systems’ revenues declined $23 million compared with the prior year quarter with close to half of the decline due to lower pricing on plates.
 
·  
In Micro 3D Printing and Packaging, the earnings contribution from Packaging offsets the cost of developing the Micro 3D Printing business.  Kodak expects that growth in Packaging, as well as the transition from investment to commercialization of product in Micro 3D Printing, will result in revenue and earnings growth in this segment.

·  
The Software and Solutions segment is comprised of Kodak Technology Solutions, which includes Enterprise Services and Solutions, and Unified Workflow Solutions. Unified Workflow Solutions is an established product line, whereas Kodak Technology Solutions includes growing product lines that leverage existing technologies and intellectual property in new applications. These business initiatives generally do not require substantial additional investment, and Kodak expects that they will grow in contribution to earnings.
 
·  
The Consumer and Film segment’s revenues are expected to continue to decline.  Consumer and Film’s revenue declined $16 million compared with the prior year quarter.

 
·  
In Enterprise Inkjet Systems, the legacy Versamark business is expected to continue to decline.

 
·  
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) and research and development (“R&D”) expenses declined a combined $16 million from the first quarter of 2015 to the first quarter of 2016, as the result of a number of actions including headcount reductions, reduced overhead costs, savings from global benefit changes, facilities consolidations and renegotiations of vendor contracts and the focusing of R&D spending on materials science.

 
·  
Kodak plans to continue to pursue monetization of its asset base, including selling and licensing intellectual property, selling and leasing excess capacity in its properties, and pursuing rights to an earn-out from a previous divestiture.

CURRENT KODAK OPERATING MODEL AND REPORTING STRUCTURE

Kodak has seven reportable segments: Print Systems, Enterprise Inkjet Systems, Micro 3D Printing and Packaging, Software and Solutions, Consumer and Film, Intellectual Property Solutions and Eastman Business Park.

Print Systems

The Print Systems segment is comprised of Prepress Solutions, which includes Kodak’s digital offset plate offerings and computer-to-plate imaging solutions, and Electrophotographic Printing Solutions, which offers high-quality digital printing solutions using electrically charged toner based technology.  The Print Systems segment provides digital and traditional product and service offerings to a variety of commercial industries, including commercial print, direct mail, book publishing, newspapers and magazines and packaging.  While the businesses in this segment are experiencing pricing pressure, continued innovations in Kodak product lines that can command premium prices offset some of the long term market price erosion.

Prepress Solutions capitalizes on a contract-based, stable and recurring cash flow-generative business model. The average duration of customer contracts is two to three years. These contracts offer stability and generate recurring revenue. The core of the business is the manufacturing of aluminum digital printing plates of varying sizes. These plates can be as small as 23cm x 27cm and as large as 126cm x 287cm.  Unexposed plates are sold to commercial printing companies for use in the offset printing process. Kodak also manufactures equipment, known as Computer to Plate (“CTP”) equipment, which images the plates with a laser. The plates are used in the offset printing process, which transfers ink from the plate onto a rubber blanket and then onto the substrate to be printed. Due to the nature of the imaging and printing process, a new plate must be used for each printing run. As a result, there is a recurring revenue stream from the sale of these plates.

The Print Systems products and services are sold globally to customers through both a direct sales team as well as indirectly through dealers.

·  
Prepress Solutions:
 
·  
Digital offset plates, which includes KODAK SONORA Process Free Plates. KODAK SONORA Process Free Plates are prepared directly with a CTP thermal output device and do not require subsequent processing chemistry, processing equipment or chemical disposal. As a result, the plates deliver cost savings and efficiency for customers and promote environmental sustainability practices.
 
·  
CTP output devices that are used by customers to transfer images onto aluminum offset printing plates and provide consistent and high quality imaging for offset press applications. CTP products provide high resolution, consistency and stability in thermal imaging. Kodak also offers a lower cost CTP system using TH5 imaging technology, which provides a highly efficient and cost-effective imaging solution at a lower price point.
 
·  
Electrophotographic Printing Solutions:

·  
NEXPRESS printers produce high-quality, differentiated printing of short-run, personalized print applications, such as direct mail, books, marketing collateral and photo products.
 
·  
DIGIMASTER printers use monochrome electrophotographic printing technology for transactional printing, short-run books, corporate documentation, manuals and direct mail.

The Print Systems segment also provides service and support related to these products.

 
21

 
 
Micro 3D Printing and Packaging

The Micro 3D Printing and Packaging segment includes flexographic printing equipment and plates and related consumables and services, as well as printed functional materials and components.  Micro 3D Printing is a new line of business that seeks to provide innovative printing techniques to customers for both premium marketing applications and manufacturing applications.  Because Micro 3D Printing is a new line of business, the Micro 3D Printing and Packaging segment currently requires a higher degree of investment and has a lower contribution to earnings than other segments.  Micro 3D Printing and Packaging products are sold directly by Kodak and indirectly through dealers.

·  
Micro 3D Printing

·  
The Micro 3D Printing products offer many advantages over traditionally manufactured products, including lower cost points and reduced adverse environmental impact. Traditionally manufactured products require higher material costs,
 
·  
additional manufacturing steps, and, for the most widely used technology, the mining of a rare metal. Kodak is working with lead customers in large format and industrial markets to achieve market introduction in 2016.

·  
Packaging

·  
The Packaging business consists of flexographic printing equipment and related consumables and services, which enable graphic customization of a wide variety of packaging materials.  The flagship FLEXCEL NX system provides imaging devices to deliver high productivity and consistency, as well as a full tonal range for flexographic printing.  The new FLEXCEL Direct System is a next generation platform that significantly reduces the steps needed to produce flexographic plates.

Software and Solutions

The Software and Solutions segment is comprised of Kodak Technology Solutions, which includes Enterprise Services and Solutions, and Unified Workflow Solutions.  Unified Workflow Solutions is an established product line whereas Kodak Technology Solutions includes growing product lines that leverage existing Kodak technologies and intellectual property in new applications.  These business initiatives generally do not require substantial additional investment and it is expected that they will grow in contribution to earnings.

The Software and Solutions segment offers a leading suite of solutions for print production workflow, including the PRINERGY workflow production software, by providing customer value through automation, web integration and integration with other Kodak systems and third-party offerings. Kodak believes it is a leader in production workflow solutions for the commercial print and packaging industries with over 13,000 systems installed in some of the largest printing and packaging establishments around the world.  Production workflow software is used by customers to manage digital and conventional print content from file creation to output.  Production workflow software manages content and color, reduces manual errors and helps customers manage the collaborative creative process.

The Software and Solutions segment also assists organizations with challenges and opportunities created by the worldwide digital transformation. It provides print and managed media services that assist customers with solutions for their printing requirements, including services to help brand owners combat counterfeiters and diverters; and document management services, including expertise in the capture, archiving, retrieval and delivery of documents. Software and Solutions serves enterprise customers in numerous sectors, including governments, pharmaceuticals and life sciences, consumer and luxury product goods and retail and financial services.

Consumer and Film

The Consumer and Film segment is comprised of three lines of business:  Motion Picture, Industrial Chemicals and Films; Consumer Inkjet Solutions; and Consumer Products.

·
Motion Picture, Industrial Chemicals and Films:

·  
Includes the motion picture film business serving the entertainment and advertising industries. Motion picture products are sold directly to studios, laboratories and independent filmmakers.

·  
Offers industrial films, including films used by the electronics industry to produce printed circuit boards.

·  
The business also includes related component businesses: Polyester Film; Solvent Recovery; and Specialty Chemicals, Inks and Dispersions.

·  
Consumer Inkjet Solutions:

·  
Involves the sale of ink to an existing installed base of consumer inkjet printers

·  
 Consumer Products:

·  
Includes licensing of Kodak brands to third parties and consumer products.  Kodak currently licenses its brand for use with a range of consumer products including batteries, cameras and camera accessories and recordable media.
Kodak intends to continue efforts to grow its portfolio of consumer product licenses in order to generate both ongoing royalty streams and upfront payments.

 
 
22

 
 
Enterprise Inkjet Systems

The Enterprise Inkjet Systems segment contains a large base of customers which use KODAK VERSAMARK printing systems, comprising inkjet printing heads, inks, head refurbishment services as well as on-site maintenance service from Kodak.

Intellectual Property Solutions

The Intellectual Property Solutions segment contains the research laboratories and includes licensing as well as new business development activities related to Kodak’s patents and proprietary technology.  Through this segment Kodak conducts research and files patent applications with fundamental inventions from the Kodak Research Laboratories.  Additionally, Kodak continues to file significant numbers of new patent applications in areas aligned with its core businesses.  Via these core business patent applications along with the research inventions, Kodak maintains a large worldwide portfolio of pending applications and issued patents.  Kodak actively seeks opportunities to leverage its patents and associated technology in licensing and/or cross-licensing deals to support both revenue growth and its ongoing businesses.  While revenues from these licensing activities tend to be unpredictable in nature, this segment still carries potential for material revenue generation.  The Intellectual Property Solutions segment also actively pursues additional revenues via new business development through commercialization partnerships and grants or external investment in commercialization of new technologies and products.

Eastman Business Park

The Eastman Business Park segment includes the operations of the Eastman Business Park, a more than 1,200 acre technology center and industrial complex in Rochester, New York and the leasing activities related to that space. A large portion of this facility is used in Kodak’s own manufacturing and other operations, while the remaining portion is occupied by external tenants or available for rent to external tenants.

Segment Measure of Profit and Loss
 
Kodak’s segment measure of profit and loss is an adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Operational EBITDA”).    As demonstrated in the above table, Operational EBITDA represents the income (loss) from continuing operations excluding the provision (benefit) for income taxes; corporate components of pension and OPEB income; depreciation and amortization expense; restructuring costs; overhead costs no longer absorbed by discontinued operations; stock-based compensation expense; consulting and other costs; idle costs; other operating expense, net (unless otherwise indicated); interest expense; other charges, net and reorganization items, net.
 
Kodak’s segments are measured using Operational EBITDA both before and after allocation of corporate selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”).  The segment earnings measure reported is after allocation of corporate SG&A as this most closely aligns with U.S. GAAP.  Research and development activities not directly related to the other segments are reported within the Intellectual Property Solutions segment.
 
Change in Segment Measure of Profit and Loss
 
During the first quarter of 2016, Kodak changed its segment measure of profit and loss.  The segment measure excludes overhead costs no longer absorbed by discontinued operations (see description above).  In addition, manufacturing costs originally planned to be absorbed by silver halide touch screen production are now excluded from the segment measure of profit and loss.  There were no manufacturing costs originally planned to be absorbed by silver halide touch screen production in the three months ended March 31, 2016 or 2015.

EASTMAN BUSINESS PARK SEGMENT

The improvement in Eastman Business Park Operational EBITDA of approximately $1 million was driven by cost improvements.

RESTRUCTURING COSTS AND OTHER
 
Kodak recorded $5 million of charges for the three months ended March 31, 2016, of which $4 million were reported as Restructuring costs and other in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations and $1 million as Cost of revenues.
 
Kodak made cash payments related to restructuring of approximately $6 million during the quarter.
 
The restructuring actions implemented in the first three months of 2016 are expected to generate future annual cash savings of approximately $5 million. These savings are expected to reduce future annual Cost of revenues, SG&A and R&D expenses by $1 million, $3 million, and $1 million, respectively. Kodak began realizing a portion of these savings in the first quarter, and expects the majority of the annual savings to be in effect by the second half of 2016 as actions are completed.

The beginning cash and cash equivalents balance for the three month period ended March 31, 2016 in the cash flow activity above included $546 million of cash reported in the Statement of Financial Position and $1 million of cash reported in Current assets held for sale.  There was no cash reported in Current assets held for sale at the end of that period or in the three month period ended March 31, 2015.
 
Operating Activities
 
Net cash used in operating activities improved $68 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 as compared with the corresponding period in 2015 primarily due to the lower net loss, which includes the $10 million in net litigation proceeds from DuPont and more cash provided by changes in working capital during the current year quarter.
 
Investing Activities
 
Net cash used in investing activities increased $9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 as compared with the corresponding period in 2015, primarily due to the funding of restricted cash to support the Company’s borrowing base in the current year quarter.
 
Financing Activities
 
Net cash used in financing activities was unchanged for the first quarter of 2016 as compared with the corresponding period in 2015.

Sources of Liquidity
Available liquidity includes cash balances and the unused portion of the Asset Based Revolving Credit Agreement (the “ABL Credit Agreement”). The ABL Credit Agreement had $24 million of net availability as of March 31, 2016. The amount of available liquidity is subject to fluctuations and includes cash balances held by various entities worldwide. At  March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, approximately $278 million and $302 million, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents were held within the U.S. and approximately $235 million and $245 million, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents were held outside the U.S. Cash balances held outside of the U.S. are generally required to support local country operations, 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. Additionally, in China, where approximately $141 million of cash and cash equivalents was held as of March 31, 2016, 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 Senior Secured First Lien Term Credit Agreement, Senior Secured Second Lien Term Credit Agreement (collectively the “Term Credit Agreements” and together with the ABL Credit Agreement, the “Credit Agreements”), and the ABL Credit Agreement, the Company is permitted to invest up to $100 million in subsidiaries and joint ventures that are not party to these loan agreements.

Under the ABL Credit Agreement, Kodak is required to maintain a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.00 to 1.00 when Excess Availability is less than 15% of lender commitments (springing covenant).  As of March 31, 2016 15% of lender commitments and Excess Availability were $30 million and $39 million, respectively.  Excess Availability is equal to the sum of (i) 85% of the amount of the Eligible Receivables less a Dilution Reserve, (ii) the lesser of 85% of Net Orderly Liquidation Value or 75% of the Eligible Inventory (iii) Eligible Equipment (iv) Eligible Cash and (v) Qualified Cash (not to exceed $15 million) less (i) Rent and Charges Reserves, (ii) Principal Outstanding, (iii) Letters of Credit and (iv) an Availability Block (each item as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement).

As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 Kodak had funded $40 million and $30 million, respectively, to the Eligible Cash account held with the ABL Credit Agreement Administrative Agent, which is classified as Restricted cash in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, and an additional $15 million as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 of Qualified Cash in an unrestricted cash account, supporting the Excess Availability amount.  If Excess Availability falls below 15% of lender commitments (currently $30 million), Kodak may, in addition to the requirement to be in compliance with the minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, become subject to cash dominion control.  Kodak intends to maintain Excess Availability above the minimum threshold which may require additional funding of Eligible Cash.  Since Excess Availability was greater than 15% of lenders commitments Kodak is not required to have a minimum Fixed Charges Coverage Ratio of 1.0 to 1.0.  As of March 31, 2016, Kodak is in compliance with all covenants under the ABL Credit Agreement and had Kodak been required to have a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.0 to 1.0 EBITDA, as defined in the ABL Credit agreement, exceeded Fixed Charges by approximately $56 million.
 
Under the terms of the Term Credit Agreement, Kodak is required to maintain a Secured Leverage Ratio not to exceed specified levels.  The secured leverage ratio is tested at the end of each quarter based on the prior four quarters and is generally determined by dividing secured debt, net of U.S. cash and cash equivalents, by consolidated EBITDA, as calculated under the credit agreements.  The maximum secured leverage ratio permitted under the Senior Secured First Lien Term Credit Agreement (which is more restrictive than the corresponding ratio permitted under the Senior Secured Second Lien Term Credit Agreement) is 2.75 to1.  As of March 31, 2016, Kodak’s EBITDA, as calculated under the Term Credit Agreements, exceeded the EBITDA necessary to satisfy the covenant ratios by approximately $52 million.

The combination of the stricter covenant requirements, Kodak’s ongoing investment in growth businesses, and softening and volatility of global economic conditions and foreign currency exchange rates could make it difficult for Kodak to satisfy the leverage covenants on an on-going basis.  Kodak intends to conduct its operations in a manner that will result in continued compliance with the secured leverage ratio covenants; however, compliance for future quarters may depend on Kodak undertaking one or more non-operational transactions, such as a monetization of assets, a debt refinancing, the raising of equity capital, or a similar transaction.  If Kodak is unable to remain in compliance and does not make alternate arrangements with its term lenders, an event of default would occur under Kodak’s credit agreements which, among other remedies, would entitle the lenders or their agents to declare the outstanding obligations under the Term Credit Agreements to be immediately due and payable.
 
For the balance of 2016, the forecasted contribution (funded plans) and benefit payment (unfunded plans) requirements for its pension and the postretirement plans are approximately $14 million.
 
Cash flow from investing activities included $5 million of capital expenditures for three months ended March 31, 2016. Kodak expects approximately $20 to $25 million of total capital expenditures for 2016.  Additionally, Kodak intends to utilize a variety of methods to finance customer equipment purchases in the future, including expansion of existing third party finance programs and internal financing through both leasing and installment loans.
 
Kodak believes that its liquidity position is adequate to fund its operating and investing needs and to provide the flexibility to respond to further changes in the business environment.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Kodak, as a result of its global operating and financing activities, is exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, and interest rates, which may adversely affect its results of operations and financial position. In seeking to minimize the risks associated with such activities, Kodak may enter into derivative contracts. Kodak does not utilize financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes. Foreign currency forward contracts are used to hedge existing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities, especially those of Kodak’s International Treasury Center, as well as forecasted foreign currency denominated intercompany sales. Kodak’s exposure to changes in interest rates results from its investing and borrowing activities used to meet its liquidity needs. Long-term debt is generally used to finance long-term investments, while short-term debt is used to meet working capital requirements.
 
Using a sensitivity analysis based on estimated fair value of open foreign currency forward contracts using available forward rates, if the U.S. dollar had been 10% stronger at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the fair value of open forward contracts would have decreased $16 million in both periods.  Such changes in fair value would be substantially offset by the revaluation or settlement of the underlying positions hedged.
 
Kodak is exposed to interest rate risk primarily through its borrowing activities.  Kodak may utilize borrowings to fund its working capital and investment needs.  The majority of short-term and long-term borrowings are in variable rate instruments.  There is inherent roll-over risk for borrowings and marketable securities as they mature and are renewed at current market rates. The extent of this risk is not predictable because of the variability of future interest rates and business financing requirements.
 
Kodak’s Senior Secured First Lien Term Credit Agreement, Senior Secured Second Lien Term Credit Agreement and ABL Credit Agreement are in variable-rate instruments with an interest rate floor. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the one-month LIBOR rate was approximately 0.44% and 0.43%, respectively.  If LIBOR rates were to rise above the 1% and 1.25% floors, interest expense would increase approximately $7 million for each 1% of LIBOR above the floor.
 
Kodak’s financial instrument counterparties are high-quality investment or commercial banks with significant experience with such instruments. Kodak manages exposure to counterparty credit risk by requiring specific minimum credit standards and diversification of counterparties. Kodak has procedures to monitor the credit exposure amounts. The maximum credit exposure at March 31, 2016 was not significant to Kodak.

Item 4. 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 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 Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Kodak’s management, with participation of Kodak’s 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.  Kodak’s 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

There have been no changes in Kodak’s internal control over financial reporting 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.

Part II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Subsequent to the Company’s Bankruptcy Filing, between January 27, 2012 and March 22, 2012, several putative class action suits were filed in federal court in the Western District of New York against the committees of the Company’s Stock Ownership Plan (‘SOP’) and Savings and Investment Plan (“SIP”), and certain former and current executives of the Company. The suits were consolidated into a single action brought under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”), styled as In re Eastman Kodak ERISA Litigation. The allegations concern the decline in the Company’s stock price and its alleged impact on SOP and SIP. Plaintiffs were seeking the recovery of any losses to the applicable plans, a constructive trust, the appointment of an independent fiduciary, equitable relief, as applicable, and attorneys’ fees and costs. Defendants and plaintiffs, individually and as class representatives, entered into a settlement agreement which was preliminarily approved by the court on April 27, 2016, and is conditioned on final court approval and entry of a final order.  The Company is not a party to the litigation or the settlement agreement, and is not obligated to make any payments under the settlement agreement.

Kodak’s Brazilian operations are involved in various litigation matters 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 their position.  Kodak routinely assesses 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, 2016, Kodak maintained accruals of approximately $12 million for claims aggregating approximately $189 million inclusive of interest and penalties where appropriate.  In connection with assessments and litigation in Brazil, local regulations may require Kodak to post security for a portion of the amounts in dispute.  Generally, any encumbrances of the Brazilian assets would be removed to the extent the matter is resolved in Kodak’s favor.

Kodak is involved in various lawsuits, claims, investigations, remediations and proceedings, including, from time to time, commercial, customs, employment, environmental, 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 its products. 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 any of these 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.
