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 statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

 

Reclassifications

Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period classification due to Kodak’s new organization structure as of January 1, 2017 and a change in the presentation of discontinued operations and assets held for sale.  In addition to the changes in segment reporting under the new organization structure, solvent recovery income for Consumer and Film previously reported in Cost of Revenues is reported in Revenues and there is a change in the segment measure of profitability.  Refer to Note 20, “Segment Information” and Note 21, “Discontinued Operations” for additional information.

 

RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No: 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Accounting for Goodwill Impairment.  The ASU simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment by removing Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which required a hypothetical purchase price allocation. The ASU requires entities to calculate a goodwill impairment as the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill.  The same one-step impairment test applies to goodwill at all reporting units, even those with zero or negative carrying amounts. The ASU requires entities to disclose the amount of goodwill at reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. The ASU is effective prospectively for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, (January 1, 2020 for Kodak) with early adoption permitted for goodwill impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017.  Kodak early adopted ASU 2017-04 effective January 1, 2017.  The adoption of this guidance had no impact on Kodak’s Consolidated Financial Statements.  As of the last goodwill assessment date, December 31, 2016, the Unified Workflow Solutions reporting unit had a negative carrying value.  Total goodwill assigned to the Unified Workflow Solutions reporting unit is $6 million.  

 

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18 Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash.  ASU 2016-18 requires entities to show the changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows.  As a result, entities will no longer present transfers between cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The ASU requires changes in the Company’s restricted cash to be classified as either operating activities, investing activities or financing activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, depending on the nature of the activities that gave rise to the restriction.  The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, (January 1, 2018 for Kodak) including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods.  Early adoption in an interim period is permitted, but any adjustments must be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period.  Kodak early adopted ASU 2016-18 effective January 1, 2017 which had no impact on net cash flows used in investing activities for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017 and resulted in a decrease of $10 million in net cash flows used in investing activities for the three-month period ended March 31, 2016.    

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.  ASU 2016-15 provides clarification with respect to classification of several cash flow issues on the Statement of Cash Flows including debt prepayment or extinguishment costs, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, and distributions received from equity method investees.   The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017 (January 1, 2018 for Kodak).  Kodak early adopted ASU 2016-15 retrospectively effective January 1, 2017.  The adoption of this guidance had no impact on Kodak’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

[7]


In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory.  ASU 2016-16 requires the recognition of the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory when the transfer occurs.  The new standard is effective on a modified retrospective basis for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, (January 1, 2018 for Kodak) including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods.  Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period for which financial statements (interim or annual) have not been issued or made available for issuance (January 1, 2017 for Kodak).  Kodak early adopted ASU 2016-16 on a modified retrospective basis during the first quarter of 2017.  The adoption of this guidance had no impact on Kodak’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In March 2017, the FASB issues ASU 2017-07, Compensation-Retirement Benefits (Topic 715):  Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost.  ASU 2017-07 requires entities to report the service cost component in the same line item(s) as other compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period and to report all other components of net benefit costs outside a subtotal of income from operations.  In addition, the ASU allows only the service cost component to be eligible for capitalization when applicable.  ASU 2017-07 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017 (January 1, 2018 for Kodak); retrospective application is required for the presentation of the service cost and other cost components however the restrictions on the capitalization eligibility will be applied prospectively from the date of adoption.  The components of the net benefit cost are shown in Note 14, “Retirement Plans and Other Postretirement benefits”.  Kodak is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU.

 

In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets.  ASU 2017-05 defines in-substance nonfinancial assets, provides guidance with respect to accounting for partial sales of nonfinancial assets and conforms the derecognition guidance on nonfinancial assets with the model for transactions in the new revenue standard (Topic 606 as described below).  ASU 2017-05 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017 (January 1, 2018 for Kodak) and allows 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 impact of this ASU and has not yet selected a transition method.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.  ASU 2016-13 requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected.  In addition, the ASU requires credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities to be recorded through an allowance for credit losses.  The amendments in this ASU broaden the information that an entity must consider in developing its expected credit loss estimate for assets measured either collectively or individually. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019 (January 1, 2020 for Kodak).  Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018 (January 1, 2019 for Kodak).  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 (Topic 825): 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 does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

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 addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.  In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09. In 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, ASUs 2016-10 through 12 and ASU 2016-20 clarifying guidance regarding principle vs agent considerations, identification of performance obligations, analysis of licensing transactions, impairment considerations and disclosures. 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 currently anticipates the adoption of this standard will not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.  Kodak has not yet selected a transition method or determined the impact adoption of ASU 2014-09, including the new disclosure requirements will have on business processes, systems and controls.  The impact of ASU 2014-09

[8]


(including how it may impact contracts entered into during 2017 as well as emerging interpretations of the standard) will continue to be evaluated through the date of adoption.

NOTE 8: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

As of March 31, 2017, the Company had outstanding letters of credit of $116 million issued under the Amended Credit Agreement, as well as bank guarantees and letters of credit of $4 million, surety bonds in the amount of $18 million, and restricted cash and deposits of $50 million, primarily to support compliance with the Excess Availability threshold under the Amended 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, 2017, 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 $55 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, 2017, Kodak has 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 $76 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, 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 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 9: GUARANTEES

EKC guarantees obligations to third parties for some of its consolidated subsidiaries. The maximum amount guaranteed is $12 million and the outstanding amount for those guarantees is $4 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.

[11]


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. 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, 2016 to March 31, 2017, which is reflected in Other current liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, was as follows:

(2)

In the first quarter of 2016, due to the exit of its position in silver metal mesh touch screen development, Kodak concluded that the carrying value of property, plant and equipment associated with those operations exceeded their fair value.  Kodak recorded pre-tax impairment charges in the three months ended March 31, 2016 of $11 million.  Kodak also wrote off related intangible assets with a gross carrying amount of $14 million and accumulated amortization of $6 million and recorded an impairment charge of $8 million.

In the first quarter of 2016, Kodak concluded the carrying value of the Kodak trade name exceeded its fair value and recorded an impairment charge of $5 million related to the Kodak trade name.

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, 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) income generated within the U.S. and 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) a provision associated with foreign withholding taxes on undistributed earnings and (3) changes in audit reserves.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, 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. 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.

 

NOTE 13: 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 quarter of 2017 were initiated to reduce Kodak’s cost structure as part of its commitment to drive sustainable profitability and included actions associated with the Prosper business cost reduction as well as various targeted reductions in manufacturing, service, sales, research and development and other administrative functions.

The severance and exit costs reserves require the outlay of cash, while long-lived asset impairments 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, 2017 the $13 million of charges includes $6 million of charges for inventory write-downs which were reported in Cost of revenues in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The remaining $7 million was reported as Restructuring costs and other.

The severance costs for the three months ended March 31, 2017 related to the elimination of approximately 100 positions including approximately 25 manufacturing/service positions, 25 research and development positions and 50 administrative positions. The geographic composition of these positions includes approximately 50 in the United States and Canada and 50 throughout the rest of the world.

 

[13]


As a result of these initiatives, the majority of the severance will be paid during periods through the end of 2017. 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 the remainder of 2017 and beyond.

NOTE 15: REDEEMABLE, CONVERTIBLE SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK

 

On November 15, 2016, the Company issued 2,000,000 shares of 5.50% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, no par value per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), for an aggregate purchase price of $200 million, or $100 per share.    The Company has classified the Series A Preferred Stock as temporary equity in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.  The holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to cumulative dividends payable quarterly in cash at a rate of 5.50% per annum.  The Company declared a cash dividend of approximately $3 million in March 2017, which was paid on April 17, 2017.  The accrual for the cash dividend declared is included in Other current liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as of March 31, 2017.  As of March 31, 2017, the Series A Preferred Stock has not been converted and none of the antidilution provisions have been triggered.  Any shares of Series A Preferred Stock not converted prior to the fifth anniversary of the initial issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock are required to be redeemed at $100 per share plus the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends.

 

NOTE 16: 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.

A reconciliation of the amounts used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2017 follows: (in millions):

   to Eastman Kodak Company

Weighted-average common shares outstanding - diluted

The computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2017 excluded the impact of (1) the assumed conversion of 2.0 million shares of Series A convertible preferred shares, (2) the assumed conversion of net share settled warrants to purchase 1.8 million shares of common stock at an exercise price of $14.93, (3) the assumed conversion of net share settled warrants to purchase 1.8 million shares of common stock at an exercise price of $16.12 and (4) the assumed conversion of 1.8 million outstanding employee stock options because they would have been anti-dilutive.

 

As a result of the net loss from continuing operations presented for the three months ended March 31, 2016, Kodak calculated diluted earnings per share using weighted average basic shares outstanding for the 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, unvested restricted stock units of 0.1 million would have been dilutive.

 

The computation of diluted earnings per share for March 31, 2016 also excluded the impact of (a) the assumed conversion of net share settled warrants to purchase 1.8 million shares of common shares at an exercise price of $14.93 (b) the assumed conversion of net share settled warrants to purchase 1.8 million shares of common shares at an exercise price of $16.12 (c) the assumed conversion of 0.4 million restricted stock units and (d) the assumed conversion of 1.7 million outstanding employee stock options because they would have been anti-dilutive.

 

NOTE 17: 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 March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016, there were 42.4 million shares of common stock outstanding and 2.0 million shares of Series A preferred stock issued and outstanding, respectively. Treasury stock consisted of approximately 0.5 million shares at both March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

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; stock-based compensation expense; consulting and other costs; idle costs; manufacturing costs originally planned to be absorbed by silver metal mesh touch screen production; other operating expense, net (unless otherwise indicated); interest expense; and other (income) charges, net.  There were no manufacturing costs originally planned to be absorbed by silver metal mesh touch screen production in the three months ending March 31, 2017 or 2016.  Overhead costs no longer absorbed by the Prosper discontinued operations of $4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016 were also excluded from segment earnings while the business was reported in discontinued operations.  As the Prosper business is no longer reported in discontinued operations, overhead allocations are included in the Enterprise Inkjet Solutions segment loss for all periods presented.

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 Advanced Materials and 3D Printing Technology segment.

[17]


Change in Segment Measure of Profitability

 

During the first quarter of 2017 the segment measure was changed to exclude internal costs associated with corporate strategic initiatives.  The segment measure already excluded external costs associated with those initiatives.  Additionally, third party costs associated with incremental idle building space has been added to idle costs.

 

 

NOTE 21: DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

KODAK PROSPER Enterprise Inkjet Business

 

The results of the Prosper business were previously presented as discontinued operations.  However, the held for sale criteria were no longer met as of March 31, 2017.  In April 2017, Kodak decided to retain the Prosper business.  The assets and liabilities of the Prosper business, previously presented as held for sale, have been reclassified to held and used on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as of December 31, 2016 and the results of the Prosper business have been reclassified from discontinued operations to continuing operations for all periods presented.  The Prosper business’ assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2017 are measured at the carrying amount before the assets were classified as held for sale, adjusted for depreciation and amortization expense that would have been recognized had the assets been continuously classified as held for use.  The $12 million reduction to the carrying value of the Prosper assets was reported in Other operating expense, net for the three months ending March 31, 2017 in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

 

The reclassification of the results of the Prosper Business to continuing operations had the following impacts on the Consolidated Statement of Operations:

NOTE 22: 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 earnings (loss) at the same time that the exposed assets and liabilities are re-measured through net earnings (loss) (both in Other charges, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations).  The notional amount of such contracts open at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was approximately $689 million and $340 million, respectively.  The majority of the contracts of this type held by Kodak as of March 31, 2017 are denominated in Swiss francs and euros.  The majority of the contracts of this type held by Kodak as of December 31, 2016 were 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:

Kodak had no derivatives designated as hedging instruments for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

[18]


In the event of a default under the Company’s Senior Secured First Lien Term Credit Agreement, the Amended 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.

As discussed in Note 15, “Redeemable, Convertible, Series A Preferred Stock”, the Company concluded that the Series A Preferred Stock is considered more akin to a debt-type instrument and that the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded conversion features, except where the conversion price was increased to the liquidation preference, were not considered clearly and closely related to the Series A Preferred Stock.  The embedded conversion features not considered clearly and closely related are the conversion at the option of the holder; the ability of Kodak to automatically convert the stock after the second anniversary of issuance and the conversion in the event of a fundamental change or reorganization. Accordingly, these embedded conversion features were bifurcated from the Series A Preferred Stock and separately accounted for on a combined basis as a single derivative liability which is reported in Other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.  The derivative liability is being accounted for at fair value with changes in fair value being reported in Other (income) charges, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

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.  The gross fair value of foreign currency forward contracts in an asset position are reported in Receivables, net 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.  Neither the fair value of marketable securities nor the gross fair values of the foreign currency forward contracts was material as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

 

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, 2017.

 

The fair value of the embedded conversion features derivative liability is calculated using unobservable inputs (Level 3 fair measurements).  The value is calculated using a binomial lattice model.  The following table presents the key inputs in the determination of fair value at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

The fair values of long-term borrowings (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 $411 million and $406 million at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

 

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash 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 in functional printing markets.  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 $20 million (5%) compared to the prior year first quarter.  

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, Prosper, Flexographic Packaging, Advanced Materials and 3D Printing and Software and Services;

[20]


 

Maintain its 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’ revenues accounted for approximately 60% of Kodak’s revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2017.  Print Systems’ revenues declined $18 million (8%) and segment earnings declined $5 million (28%) compared with the prior year quarter, driven by competitive pricing pressures.  While digital plate offerings are experiencing market driven volume and 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 erosion in the market and manufacturing efficiencies are expected to mitigate the impact on earnings from revenue declines.  

 

Flexographic Packaging revenue increased $4 million (14%) and segment earnings increased $2 million (50%) as the business continues to build scale.

 

In Enterprise Inkjet Systems, the legacy Versamark business is expected to continue to decline as a percentage of the segment’s total revenue as the Prosper business continues to grow.  The Prosper Inkjet Systems business is expected to continue to build scale and profitability.  Investment in the next generation Prosper technology, Ultrastream, is focused on the ability to place Ultrastream writing systems in original equipment manufacturer and hybrid applications.  Enterprise Inkjet Systems’ revenue increased $3 million (9%) and the segment loss improved $5 million (80%) compared with the prior year first quarter.

 

The Software and Solutions segment is comprised of Unified Workflow Solutions and Kodak Technology Solutions which includes enterprise services and solutions.  Unified Workflow Solutions is an established product line, whereas Kodak Technology Solutions includes businesses that leverage existing technologies and intellectual property in new applications.  The contributions these business initiatives make to earnings is expected to grow with a modest amount of additional investment.  Sales in Software and Solutions are project-based and can vary from year to year depending on the nature and number of projects in existence that year.

 

Consumer and Film’s revenue continues to decline (revenues declined $8 million (14%) and segment earnings declined $10 million (143%) compared with the prior year quarter) primarily due to the declining installed base of consumer inkjet printers.  However, the Consumer and Film segment’s revenues are expected to stabilize and grow modestly over the course of the year driven by consumer products and brand licensing.  Kodak plans to continue to promote the use of film to utilize as much film manufacturing capacity as possible.

 

Film and related component manufacturing operations and Kodak Research Laboratories utilize capacity at Eastman Business Park (“EBP”), which helps cost absorption for both Kodak operations and tenants at EBP.

 

Kodak plans to capitalize on its intellectual property through new business opportunities in functional printing markets including printed electronics, 3D printing materials and smart material applications.

 

Kodak plans to continue to pursue monetization of its asset base, 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

Effective January 1, 2017, Kodak changed its organizational structure.  Micro 3D Printing within the Micro 3D Printing and Packaging segment was moved into the Intellectual Property Solutions segment which has been renamed the Advanced Materials and 3D Printing Technology segment. The Flexographic Packaging business, formerly part of the Micro 3D Printing and Packaging segment, will now be reported as a dedicated segment.

 

Financial information is reported for seven reportable segments: Print Systems, Enterprise Inkjet Systems, Flexographic Packaging, Software and Solutions, Consumer and Film, Advanced Materials and 3D Printing Technology 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.

[21]


Prepress Solutions capitalizes on a contract-based, stable and recurring cash flow-generative business model. The average duration of customer contracts is two 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 include 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 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.

Flexographic Packaging

The Flexographic Packaging segment consists of flexographic imaging equipment, printing plates, consumables and related services, which enable graphic customization of a wide variety of packaging materials.

FLEXCEL NX:

 

 

The FLEXCEL NX System, a fully-integrated digital flexographic plate imaging solution, enables prepress service providers and printers to create printing plates that provide high quality flexographic printing and enhance the efficiency of customers’ printing processes.  

 

Other Packaging Business

 

 

The FLEXCEL SR Plates portfolio comprises a full range of analog flexographic plates designed for trade shops and packaging printers that have not yet transitioned to digital technology. Kodak also manufactures and sells DITR Film, a no-process alternative to conventional graphic arts film and a wide range of analog and digital letterpress plates. Also included under this category is equipment service and the legacy APPROVAL proofing business.

Enterprise Inkjet Systems

 

The Enterprise Inkjet Systems segment contains the Prosper business and the Versamark business. The Enterprise Inkjet Systems products include production press systems, consumables (primarily ink), inkjet components and services.

 

 

The Prosper business product offerings, including the PROSPER Press systems and PROSPER Components, feature ultrafast inkjet droplet generation. This includes the PROSPER 6000 Press, which delivers a continuous flow of ink that enables constant and consistent operation, with uniform ink droplet size and accurate placement, even at very high print speeds. Applications of the PROSPER Press include publishing, commercial print, direct mail and packaging.  PROSPER System Components are integrated into original equipment manufacturer partner products and systems. Sales of equipment that incorporates the PROSPER Writing Systems result in recurring revenue from sales of ink and other consumables and equipment service. The level of recurring revenue depends on the application for which the equipment is used, which drives the total number of pages printed and, therefore, the amount of ink usage.   The Prosper

[22]


 

business includes digital front-end controllers which manage the delivery of personalized content to digital presses while controlling color and print consistency.

 

 

The KODAK VERSAMARK Products are the predecessor products to the PROSPER Press. Users of KODAK VERSAMARK Products continue to purchase ink and other consumables as well as service from Kodak.

 

Software and Solutions

The Software and Solutions segment is comprised of Unified Workflow Solutions and Kodak Technology Solutions, which includes enterprise services and solutions.  Unified Workflow Solutions is an established product line whereas Kodak Technology Solutions includes businesses that leverage existing Kodak technologies and intellectual property in new applications. 

 

Unified Workflow Solutions 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. 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. Kodak believes it is a leader in production workflow solutions for the commercial print and packaging industries with over 15,000 systems installed in some of the largest printing and packaging establishments around the world.  

 

 

Kodak Technology Solutions 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 and document management services, including expertise in the capture, archiving, retrieval and delivery of documents. Kodak Technology Solutions serves enterprise customers primarily in the government and financial services sectors.

Consumer and Film

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

[23]


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, printers and recordable media.  Kodak intends to continue efforts to grow its portfolio of consumer product licenses to generate both ongoing royalty streams and upfront payments.

 

Consumer Inkjet Solutions, which involves the sale of ink to an existing installed base of consumer inkjet printers.

 

Kodak developed consumer products, including the Super 8 camera.

 

Industrial Film and Chemicals:

 

Offers industrial film, including films used by the electronics industry to produce printed circuit boards, as well as manufactures professional and consumer still photographic film.

 

Includes related component businesses: Polyester Film; Solvent Recovery; and Specialty Chemicals, Inks and Dispersions.

 

Motion Picture:

 

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

 

Kodak motion picture film processing laboratories offering onsite processing services at strategic locations in the U.S. and Europe.

Advanced Materials and 3D Printing Technology

The Advanced Materials and 3D Printing Technology segment contains the Kodak Research Laboratories and associated new business opportunities, touch sensor films with copper mesh technology and intellectual property licensing not directly related to other business divisions.  Kodak conducts research and files patent applications with fundamental inventions from the Kodak Research Laboratories.  Additionally, Kodak continues to file 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.  Because product solutions in Advanced Materials and Micro 3D Printing are in the process of being commercialized or are new business opportunities, a higher degree of investment is required.

 

Advanced Materials

 

Advanced Materials is developing materials solutions for printed electronics, macro 3D printing, and component smart materials based on the materials science inventions and innovations from the research laboratories.  

 

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 the potential for material revenue generation from intellectual property licensing and new materials businesses.

Micro 3D Printing

 

Micro 3D Printing products have the potential to offer many advantages over traditionally manufactured products, including lower cost points and avoidance of environmental impacts associated with mining of rare earth metals.  Kodak is focusing its touch screen technology on industrial applications (such as consumer appliances) and shipped its initial appliance order in the first quarter of 2017.

Eastman Business Park

The Eastman Business Park segment includes the operations of 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, stock-based compensation expense; consulting and other costs; idle costs; manufacturing costs originally planned to be absorbed by silver metal mesh touch screen production; other operating expense, net (unless otherwise indicated); interest expense; other (income) charges, net.  There were no

[25]


manufacturing costs originally planned to be absorbed by silver metal mesh touch screen production in the three months ending March 31, 2017 or 2016.  Overhead costs no longer absorbed by the Prosper discontinued operations of $4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016 were also excluded from segment earnings while the business was reported in discontinued operations.  As the Prosper business is no longer reported in discontinued operations, overhead allocations are included in the Enterprise Inkjet Solutions segment loss for all periods presented.

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 Advanced Materials and 3D Printing Technology segment.

Change in Segment Measure of Profitability

 

During the first quarter of 2017 the segment measure was changed to exclude internal costs associated with corporate strategic initiatives.  The segment measure already excluded external costs associated with those initiatives.  Additionally, third party costs associated with incremental idle building space has been added to idle costs.

Revenues

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, revenues decreased approximately $20 million compared with the same period in 2016.  The decline was primarily driven by volume and pricing declines within Print Systems ($15 million) and volume declines within Consumer and Film ($7 million).  Also contributing to the decrease was the unfavorable impact of foreign currency ($6 million). Partially offsetting these impacts were volume improvements within Enterprise Inkjet Systems ($4 million) and Flexographic Packaging ($3 million).  See segment discussions for additional details.

Gross Profit

The decrease in gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2017 of approximately $5 million compared with the same period in 2016 reflected pricing declines within Print Systems ($7 million), increased inventory write-offs due to restructuring ($5 million), volume declines within Consumer and Film ($4 million), and unfavorable currency impacts ($2 million). Partially offsetting these decreases were cost improvements within Print Systems ($4 million), lower depreciation expense in Enterprise Inkjet Systems ($3 million) and Consumer and Film ($2 million), and volume improvements within Enterprise Inkjet Systems ($3 million) and Flexographic Packaging ($2 million).  See segment discussions for additional details.

[26]


Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Consolidated SG&A increased $8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 due to lower pension income ($4 million) as well as increased investment in SG&A ($3 million) for segment selling and marketing activities.

Research and Development Costs

There was no change in consolidated R&D expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared with the prior year period.

Revenues

The decrease in Print Systems revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2017 of approximately $18 million primarily reflected lower pricing ($6 million) due to competitive pressures in the industry and lower volumes ($3 million) driven by declines in consumables and service in Prepress Solutions. Also contributing to the decline was lower volume in Electrophotographic Printing Solutions ($5 million) due to declines in consumables and service and fewer equipment placements.  Unfavorable foreign currency ($3 million) also negatively impacted revenues.

Operational EBITDA

The decrease in Print Systems Operational EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2017 of approximately $5 million reflected pricing declines in Prepress Solutions ($6 million) as well as lower volume and unfavorable pricing in Electrophotographic Printing Solutions ($2 million).  Also contributing to the decline was increased SG&A primarily due to increased investment in marketing, advertising and sales activities ($1 million). Partially offsetting these declines were manufacturing costs improvements in Prepress consumables due to improved manufacturing efficiency ($4 million) and lower aluminum costs ($1 million).  Current market prices for aluminum, at the time of this filing, will result in aluminum costs for the remainder of 2017 to be higher than in comparable periods.

EASTMAN BUSINESS PARK SEGMENT

Eastman Business Park revenue and Operational EBITDA did not change significantly.

RESTRUCTURING COSTS AND OTHER

 

Kodak recorded $13 million of charges for the three months ended March 31, 2017, of which $7 million was reported as Restructuring costs and other and $6 million was reported as Cost of revenues in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations.

 

Kodak made cash payments related to restructuring of approximately $4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017.

 

The restructuring actions implemented in the first three months of 2017 are expected to generate future annual cash savings of approximately $10 million. These savings are expected to reduce future annual Cost of revenues, SG&A and R&D expenses by $3 million, $5 million, and $2 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 2017 as actions are completed.

 

Prosper Business Cost Reduction

 

On January 12, 2017, Kodak announced an action to streamline costs in its Prosper business.  This action is pursuant to Kodak’s initiative to focus the Prosper business on developing next generation Ultrastream technology with solutions that place writing systems in original equipment manufacturer and hybrid applications and the continued placement of Prosper 6000 presses and components in suitable high volume applications.

 

As a result of this decision, Kodak currently expects to incur total restructuring and related charges of $13-$17 million, including $5-$7 million of charges related to separation benefits, $6 million of non-cash related charges for inventory write-downs, $2-$3 million of non-cash related charges for asset write-offs and up to $1 million in other cash related charges associated with this action.

 

In the three months ended March 31, 2017 under this program, Kodak incurred severance charges of $3 million, inventory write-downs of $6 million, and asset write-offs of $2 million.

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities increased $32 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared with the corresponding period in 2016 due to increased cash usage for working capital driven by inventory increases in anticipation of sequential quarter sales growth at higher rates relative to prior year sequential quarter sales growth and lower cash earnings.  Lower cash earnings include $10 million in net litigation proceeds from DuPont received in the prior year period partially offset by lower interest expense ($8 million) in the current year period primarily due to the prepayment of the Senior Secured Second Lien Term Credit Agreement.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities decreased $1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared with the corresponding period in 2016 primarily due to an increase in proceeds received from sales of assets and marketable securities partially offset by an increase in additions to properties.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities increased $2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared with the corresponding period in 2016 due to the $2 million first quarter dividend payment made to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock, $1 million repayment of capital leases and no repayments of emergence credit facilities in the 2017 period.

Sources of Liquidity

Available liquidity includes cash balances and the unused portion of the Amended Credit Agreement. The Amended Credit Agreement had $23 million of net availability as of March 31, 2017. The amount of available liquidity is subject to fluctuations and includes cash balances held by various entities worldwide. At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 approximately $172 million and $205 million, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents were held within the U.S. and approximately $206 million and $229 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. Additionally, in China, where approximately $131 million of cash and cash equivalents was held as of March 31, 2017, 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 (the “Term Credit Agreement”) and the Amended 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.

 

As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, Kodak had funded $25 million to the Eligible Cash account held with the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement Administrative Agent which is classified as Restricted cash in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, supporting the Excess Availability amount.  Under the Amended Credit Agreement, if Excess Availability ($23 million at March 31, 2017) falls below 12.5% of lender commitments ($18.75 million at March 31, 2017), Kodak would be required to be in compliance with the minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and could become subject to cash dominion control.  In addition to Eligible Cash, the borrowing base is supported by Eligible Receivables, Eligible Inventory and Eligible Equipment.  To the extent the assets supporting the borrowing base decline, if the remaining assets included in the borrowing base are not sufficient to support the required Excess Availability amount, additional funding of Eligible Cash may be required.  Kodak intends to maintain Excess Availability above the minimum threshold. Since Excess Availability was greater than 12.5% of lenders commitments Kodak is not required to have a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.0 to 1.0.  As of March 31, 2017, Kodak is in compliance with all covenants under the Amended 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 Amended Credit agreement, exceeded Fixed Charges by approximately $1 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,

[30]


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 Term Credit Agreement is 2.75 to 1.  As of March 31, 2017, Kodak’s EBITDA, as calculated under the Term Credit Agreements, exceeded the EBITDA necessary to satisfy the covenant ratios by approximately $31 million.

 

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 the Kodak’s credit agreements which, among other remedies, would entitle the lenders or their agents to declare the outstanding obligations under the Term Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable.

 

The holders of the 5.50% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to cumulative dividends payable quarterly in cash at a rate of 5.50% per annum.  The Company declared a cash dividend of approximately $3 million in March 2017, which was paid on April 14, 2017.

 

Kodak made net contributions (funded plans) or paid benefits (unfunded plans) totaling approximately $3 million to its defined benefit pension and postretirement benefit plans in the first three months of 2017.  For the balance of 2017, the forecasted contribution (funded plans) and benefit payment (unfunded plans) requirements for its pension and postretirement plans are approximately $14 million.

 

Cash flow from investing activities included $7 million of capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2017.  Kodak expects approximately $35 million to $40 million of total capital expenditures for 2017.  Kodak is expanding its manufacturing facility in Weatherford, Oklahoma to provide additional production capacity for FLEXCEL NX Plates.  The additional capacity will supplement Kodak’s existing plate manufacturing facility in Yamanashi, Japan, and is designed to meet increasing demand. The new production line is expected to be in full production by early 2019 and will initially focus on supply of FLEXCEL NX Plates to customers in the Unites States, Canada and Latin America.  Kodak invested approximately $2 million in the first quarter of 2017, expects to invest approximately $13 million for the full year 2017 and expects the total investment for the project to be approximately $15 million. 

 

Kodak believes that its liquidity position is adequate to fund its operating and investing needs for the next year and to provide the flexibility to respond as necessary to any 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, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the fair value of open forward contracts would have decreased $19 million and $20 million, respectively.  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 and Amended Credit Agreement are in variable-rate instruments, the Senior Secured First Lien Term Credit Agreement with an interest rate floor. At March 31, 2017 the three-month LIBOR rate was approximately 1.15%.  At December 31, 2016 the one-month LIBOR rate was approximately 0.77%.  When LIBOR rates rise above the 1% floor, interest expense increases approximately $4 million per annum 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, 2017 was not significant to Kodak.

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

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, 2017, Kodak maintained accruals of approximately $13.5 million for claims aggregating approximately $222 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 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 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.
