EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
Kodak is a global manufacturer focused on commercial print and advanced materials and chemicals. With 79,000 patents earned over 130 years of research and development ("R&D"), Kodak believes in the power of technology and science to enhance what the world sees and creates. Kodak’s innovative, award-winning products, combined with its customer-first approach, make Kodak the partner of choice for commercial printers worldwide. Kodak is committed to environmental stewardship, including industry leadership in developing sustainable solutions for print.
Consolidated revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $265 million, an increase of $18 million (7%) when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. Currency fluctuations had a favorable impact on revenues ($7 million) in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Print revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $180 million, an increase of $15 million (9%) compared to the prior year quarter. Print revenues accounted for 68% of Kodak’s total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Advanced Materials and Chemicals revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $76 million, an increase of $2 million (3%) compared to the prior year quarter.
Economic Environment and Other Global Events:
Kodak sells and services its products globally, with more than half of sales generated outside the U.S. The macroeconomic environment remains highly volatile due to changes in trade policies, including tariffs or other trade restrictions or the threat of such actions, geopolitical conflicts, fluctuations in commodity prices, elevated inflation and on-going supply chain constraints, all of which have impacted Kodak’s operations.
These conditions have contributed to increased manufacturing costs, primarily due to the impact of U.S. tariffs on imported goods (including aluminum, steel and certain raw materials and component parts used in Kodak’s manufacturing and supply chain), as well as increases in commodity prices including aluminum and silver, higher labor, material, and distribution costs, and lower production volumes. The Company has implemented various pricing actions, productivity improvements, supply chain and workforce optimization initiatives and other cost savings activities. In addition, the Company has renegotiated supplier contracts and obtained certain tariff exemptions. Collectively, these actions have largely mitigated the impact of higher manufacturing costs and, as a result, did not have a material adverse effect on Kodak’s operations, financial condition or cash flows for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.
Kodak continues to actively monitor the developments related to tariffs to assess additional actions that may be taken to mitigate the effects of future tariff changes, including further pricing actions, additional cost reduction measures, securing alternative suppliers and evaluating potential changes to the Company’s manufacturing footprint. However, there is substantial uncertainty about the duration of existing tariffs or pauses in tariffs, tariff levels and whether additional tariffs or other retaliatory actions may be imposed, modified or suspended. Countries subject to such tariffs have imposed or may in the future impose reciprocal or retaliatory tariffs and other trade measures. These actions and the related rising political tensions could negatively impact global macroeconomic conditions and the stability of global financial markets. The ultimate impact of any tariffs is uncertain and will depend on various factors, including whether the tariffs are maintained and/or implemented, the duration of the tariffs, any exceptions or exemptions that are or may become available and the timing of their implementation, and scope, all of which could have a material adverse effect on Kodak’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

As a result of a trade case brought by the Company in the U.S., the following duties are currently being imposed on U.S. imports of aluminum lithographic printing plates: (i) anti-dumping duties of 115.84% on plates manufactured in China by Fujifilm and 317.43% on such plates manufactured in China by other entities, (ii) countervailing duties of 35.66% on practically all plates manufactured in China, and (iii) anti-dumping duties of 91.83% on practically all plates manufactured in Japan. Fujifilm has appealed the basis for the imposition of these duties. These duties are in addition to other tariffs that may be imposed on imports generally, including on aluminum derivative products to the extent applicable. There can be no assurance that the duties imposed on imported plates will provide Kodak effective relief and will not be reduced or impaired by any appeal or other challenge.
Kodak has implemented numerous measures to mitigate the challenges associated with supply chain disruptions and shortages in materials, including increasing safety stock on certain materials, increasing lead-times, providing suppliers with longer forecasts of future demand and certifying additional sources or substitute materials where possible. These measures have enabled Kodak to largely meet current demand.
The Advanced Materials and Chemicals segment has experienced labor shortages in certain manufacturing areas. Increased demand for consumer film products along with manufacturing equipment limitations and labor shortages have contributed to increased backorders. The Advanced Materials and Chemicals segment has increased headcount and made capital investments in equipment upgrades and new equipment that increased capacity and streamlined processes which has reduced backorders and improved operational efficiency. Increased demand for film products may continue to place stress on manufacturing equipment and the labor force without further investment or additional hiring in key areas.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
The following MD&A provides a historical and prospective narrative on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. Cross references to Notes in this MD&A are to the Notes in the Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data". The discussion of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to 2023 is included in Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10–K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Consolidated revenues in the year ended December 31, 2025 were $1.069 billion, an increase of $26 million (2%) from 2024. Currency fluctuations impacted revenue favorably in 2025 compared to 2024 ($11 million).
Print revenues, which accounted for 67% of Kodak’s total revenues in 2025, declined by $22 million (3%) compared to 2024. Advanced Materials and Chemicals revenue improved $45 million (17%) from 2024 to 2025.
Economic Environment and Other Global Events
Kodak's products are sold and serviced in numerous countries across the globe with more than half of sales generated outside the U.S. Current global economic conditions remain highly volatile due to the uncertain and unpredictable macroeconomic environment, heightened levels of inflation, changes in trade policies, including tariffs or other trade restrictions or the threat of such actions, fluctuations in commodity prices and other global events which impacted Kodak’s operations.
The U.S. government imposed new tariffs on a range of imported goods, including aluminum, steel and certain raw materials and component parts used in Kodak’s manufacturing and supply chain. The tariffs imposed have resulted in increased manufacturing costs which the Company has been able to largely mitigate through pricing actions, supplier negotiations, obtaining certain exemptions and other cost savings measures. As a result of these actions, the tariffs that have been enacted or expanded by the U.S. did not have a material adverse effect on Kodak’s operations, financial condition or cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Kodak continues to actively monitor the developments related to tariffs and to assess additional actions that may be taken to mitigate the effects of future tariff changes, including further pricing actions, additional cost reduction measures, securing alternative suppliers and evaluating potential changes to the Company’s manufacturing footprint.
However, there is substantial uncertainty about the duration of existing tariffs or pauses in tariffs, tariff levels and whether additional tariffs or other retaliatory actions may be imposed, modified or suspended. Countries subject to such tariffs have imposed or may in the future impose reciprocal or retaliatory tariffs and other trade measures. These actions and the related rising political tensions could negatively impact global macroeconomic conditions and the stability of global financial markets. The ultimate impact of any tariffs is uncertain and will depend on various factors, including whether the tariffs are maintained and/or implemented, the duration of the tariffs, any exceptions or exemptions that are or may become available and the timing of their implementation,

amount and scope, all of which could have a material adverse effect on Kodak’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
Kodak has experienced revenue declines primarily within its Print segment due to a slowdown in customer demand largely for plates related to global economic conditions that have negatively impacted volume. The Print segment has implemented various pricing actions and customer-focused initiatives to reduce the impact of lower volumes on revenue. In addition, the Advanced Materials and Chemicals segment implemented various pricing actions primarily within its Industrial Films and Chemicals and Motion Picture businesses.
Kodak is experiencing increased manufacturing costs for certain businesses due to lower volumes and increases in labor, material and distribution costs, as well as supply chain disruptions and shortages in materials and labor. In addition to the pricing actions and customer-focused initiatives described above, Kodak has implemented supply chain and workforce optimization, productivity improvements and other cost savings activities. The combined actions have largely mitigated the impact of increased manufacturing costs. However, the potential worsening of economic conditions, continued decreases in volume and increases in manufacturing and other costs without further price increases, productivity improvements or other cost saving measures, could unfavorably impact Kodak's operating results.
The Advanced Materials and Chemicals segment has also experienced labor shortages in certain manufacturing areas. Increased demand for consumer film products along with manufacturing equipment limitations and labor shortages have contributed to increased backorders. During 2024, the Advanced Materials and Chemicals segment reduced the amount of backorders compared to levels seen in prior years. This was driven by increased headcount and capital investments in equipment upgrades and new equipment that increased capacity and streamlined processes. Increased demand for film products may continue to place stress on manufacturing equipment and the labor force without further investment or additional hiring in specific areas.
Kodak has implemented numerous measures to mitigate the challenges associated with supply chain disruptions and shortages in materials, including increasing safety stock on certain materials, increasing lead‐times, providing suppliers with longer forecasts of future demand and certifying additional sources or substitute materials where possible. These measures have enabled Kodak to largely meet current demand.
Following the cessation of U.S. plate manufacturing operations by Kodak’s key competitors, Kodak has faced increasing competition in the U.S. from low-priced plates imported from China and Japan. On September 28, 2023, Kodak filed petitions with the U.S. Department of Commerce ("Commerce Department") and the U.S. International Trade Commission ("ITC") requesting relief from unfairly traded imports of plates from China and Japan in the form of the imposition of anti-dumping and/or countervailing duties on such imported plates. After making an affirmative preliminary determination on November 15, 2023, on October 22, 2024 the ITC made a final determination that a U.S. industry is materially injured by reason of imports of aluminum lithographic printing plates from China and Japan that the Commerce Department has determined are sold at less than fair value and subsidized by the government of China. The Commerce Department conducted investigations to determine dumping and subsidy margins against imports of plates manufactured in China and Japan. The Commerce Department announced preliminary findings in its countervailing duty investigation on imports of plates manufactured in China on February 27, 2024 and announced preliminary findings in its anti-dumping duty investigations on imports of plates manufactured in China and Japan on April 26, 2024, which were amended with respect to plates from China on May 28, 2024. The Commerce Department announced final findings in its anti-dumping duty investigations on imports of plates manufactured in China and Japan and its countervailing duty investigation on imports of plates manufactured in China on September 23, 2024. As a result of the determinations by the ITC and Commerce Department, duties are now being imposed on U.S. imports of plates as follows: (i) anti-dumping duties of 115.84% on such plates manufactured in China by Fuji and 317.43% on such plates manufactured in China by other entities (in each case, imposed on plates imported on or after May 1, 2024), (ii) countervailing duties of 35.66% on practically all such plates manufactured in China (imposed on plates imported on or after March 1, 2024), and (iii) anti-dumping duties of 91.83% on practically all such plates manufactured in Japan (imposed on plates imported on or after May 1, 2024). Fuji appealed the ITC’s material injury determination and, on February 18, 2026, the United States Court of International Trade remanded ITC’s determination on procedural grounds for further analysis and documentation; however, the collection of the duties continues during the pendency of the appeal notwithstanding this remand. There can be no assurance that the duties imposed on imported plates will provide Kodak effective relief and will not be reduced or impaired by any appeal or other challenge.
Kodak is monitoring the events surrounding the war in Iran and other conflicts involving Israel and the impact on the operations of its Israel subsidiary. While the potential impact of future developments related to these conflicts is difficult to predict at this time, Kodak has been able to adapt its operations to avoid material disruption to its business. The direct operations of Kodak’s Israel subsidiary were less than 1% of total consolidated revenue and assets in 2025.
28
Table of Contents
Kodak also continues to monitor the events surrounding the war in Ukraine and the various sanctions imposed in response to the war. Kodak believes it is in compliance with all sanctions. Kodak has experienced worldwide supply constraints for aluminum and increased energy and transportation costs due in part to the war in Ukraine. The extent to which the war in Ukraine will continue to impact the global economy and Kodak's business and operations remains uncertain.
The war in Ukraine and the international response have disrupted Kodak’s ability to operate its Russian subsidiary in the ordinary course, affecting its ability to pay vendors and employees, receive amounts owed from customers in Russia and deliver product. Kodak is in the process of an orderly winding down of its Russian subsidiary and has ceased its direct Russian operations. The direct operations of Kodak’s Russian subsidiary did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements (less than 1% of total consolidated revenues and assets for 2025, 2024 and 2023), and there were no material impacts to the consolidated results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 from the wind-down activities.
The ongoing changes in global economic conditions and the impact of other global events on Kodak’s operations and financial performance remains uncertain and will depend on several factors such as the slowdown in customer demand, the ability to offset higher labor, material and distribution costs through pricing actions, duration of supply chain disruptions and the ability to secure raw materials and components.
Business Overview and Strategy:
Segments within the print industry and the film industry face competition from digital substitution. Kodak’s strategy is to:
•
Focus product investment in core competency areas of advanced materials and print, leveraging Kodak’s proprietary technologies to deliver technologically advanced products;
•
Promote the use of film and expand the applications of Kodak’s film and chemicals to best utilize the existing infrastructure; and
•
Continue to invest in automation and streamline processes to drive cost reductions and operating efficiencies and generate profitable revenues through a focus on customers.
A discussion of opportunities and challenges related to Kodak’s strategy follows:
•
Advanced Materials and Chemicals segment is using Kodak's deep expertise in chemistry and strengths in deposition and coating processes that come from decades of experience in film manufacturing to work on new initiatives:
•
EV/Energy Storage Battery Material Manufacturing - Coating of substrates is a critical aspect of manufacturing materials for batteries and Kodak plans to capitalize on its expertise in coating technology to develop opportunities in this area. Kodak utilizes its pilot coating facility to conduct development of coated electrodes for a variety of battery, fuel cell, and solar film companies as well as low volume manufacturing of electrodes. Kodak has utilized an existing production coating facility to manufacture coated substrates for EV cell assembly. Investment in this production facility began in 2025 and will continue into 2026 to expand volume of battery components manufactured at the facility. On July 13, 2022, Kodak invested $25 million to acquire a minority preferred equity interest in Wildcat Discovery Technologies, Inc. ("Wildcat"), a private technology company that uses proprietary methods to research and develop new battery materials, including an EV battery. During 2025, Kodak recorded impairment charges of $22 million to its Wildcat investment due to various strategic options and alternatives implemented by Wildcat due to the current economic environment. In February 2026, Wildcat merged with another company and as a result Kodak’s equity interest in Wildcat was converted into the right to receive cash proceeds of approximately $4 million in 2026 and the potential for contingent earn-out payments upon Wildcat achieving certain development and commercialization milestones. Kodak received approximately $2 million of cash proceeds in March 2026.
•
Pharmaceuticals Manufacturing - Kodak has completed construction of its cGMP lab and manufacturing facility at EBP in 2025 and is now certified to manufacture reagents for certain healthcare applications. Kodak plans to expand the product offering over time and is in the process of applying for ISO 13485 certification for medical device quality management systems.
•
Light-Blocking Technology - A proprietary technology initially developed for electrophotographic toners is being leveraged to commercialize a carbon‐less fabric coating designed to offer superior light management, from complete blackout to selective light filtering, and coating compatibility with an unmatched range of fabrics and also to manage ultraviolet and/or infrared light in addition to visible light. Kodak has installed a production-scale machine to coat fabrics
29
Table of Contents
in EBP, located in Rochester, NY and continues to explore strategic alternatives in order to commercialize this technology.
•
Transparent Antennas - Kodak plans to leverage its proprietary copper micro‐wire technologies and high‐resolution printing expertise to contract‐manufacture custom transparent antennas for automotive, commercial construction, and other applications requiring excellent radio frequency (“RF”) and optical performance. The integration of antennas is growing worldwide due to the rapid expansion of 5G and an overall increase in RF communications, and the ubiquity of glass surfaces makes transparent antennas attractive for multiple end‐use markets. Kodak is evaluating this unique printing technology and expertise for transparent heaters to be used in biomedical analytical devices and telecom applications such as satellite dishes.
•
The Company remains interested in working with governmental agencies to leverage its assets and technology to on-shore manufacturing of pharmaceutical and other healthcare materials.
•
Film and related component manufacturing operations and Kodak Research Laboratories utilize capacity at EBP, which helps cost absorption for both Kodak operations and tenants at EBP. Kodak has invested in film manufacturing to increase capacity and to grow different initiatives in film. In the fourth quarter of 2025, Kodak launched its own direct distribution brand of still films which aim to provide distributors, retailers and consumers with more stable pricing and a broader, more reliable supply.
•
Print's digital plate products include traditional digital plates and KODAK SONORA Process Free Plates. SONORA Process Free Plates allow Kodak customers to skip the plate processing step prior to mounting plates on a printing press. This improvement in the printing process saves time and costs for customers. Also, SONORA Process Free Plates reduce the environmental impact of the printing process because they eliminate the use of chemicals (including solvents), water and power that is otherwise required to process a traditional plate. The segment's digital plate products are experiencing challenges from higher prices and availability of raw materials, digital substitution and competitive pricing pressures. Kodak seeks to mitigate the impact of increases in manufacturing costs through a combination of pricing actions, improved production efficiency and cost reduction initiatives. In addition, Kodak seeks to offset the impact of short-term and long-term market dynamics on pricing and volume pressures through innovations in Kodak product lines, including investing in digital print technologies.
•
In Print's digital printing businesses, the PROSPER Inkjet Systems product offerings are expected to grow and continue to build profitability. Kodak launched the PROSPER 7000 Turbo Press in June 2022. The PROSPER 7000 Turbo Press enables commercial, publishing and newspaper printers to compete more effectively with offset and to shift more long run jobs from conventional printing processes to inkjet. Investment in the next generation technology, ULTRASTREAM, is focused on the ability to place ULTRASTREAM writing systems in Kodak branded presses and in various original equipment manufacturers in applications ranging from commercial print to packaging. In addition, Kodak officially launched the KODAK PROSPER ULTRA 520 Digital Press utilizing Kodak's ULTRASTREAM inkjet technology, which offers offset print quality in a smaller footprint.
•
Kodak plans to capitalize on its intellectual property through new business or licensing opportunities in 3D printing materials, smart material applications and printed electronics markets.

Revenues
For the year ended December 31, 2025, revenues increased approximately $26 million compared with 2024 primarily due to improved pricing in Print ($29 million) and Advanced Materials and Chemicals ($26 million), higher volume in Advanced Materials and Chemicals ($19 million), favorable foreign currency fluctuations ($11 million) and higher volume in Brand ($3 million), partially offset by lower volume in Print ($62 million). See segment discussions for additional details.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for 2025 increased approximately $29 million compared with 2024, primarily due to improved pricing in Print ($27 million) and Advanced Materials and Chemicals ($24 million), lower inventory reserve adjustments for Electrophotographic Printing Solutions ("EPS") compared to the prior year ($5 million), higher volume in Advanced Materials and Chemicals ($4 million) and Brand ($3 million) and favorable foreign currency fluctuations ($1 million). These favorable impacts were partially offset by higher manufacturing costs in Print ($11 million) and Advanced Materials and Chemicals ($7 million), higher aluminum costs ($9 million) and lower volumes in Print ($7 million). See segment discussions for additional details.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Consolidated Selling, General & Administrative expenses (SG&A) decreased $5 million in 2025 compared with 2024 primarily due to a decline in selling and administrative costs ($5 million) related to lower spending on organizational changes compared to the prior year, along with a decline in consulting and project costs ($1 million) primarily related to an insurance reimbursement received in the second quarter of 2025 and a decline in equity compensation costs ($1 million). These favorable impacts were partially offset by the net change in employee benefit reserves ($2 million).
Research and Development Costs
Consolidated R&D expenses were flat in 2025 compared with 2024.

Restructuring actions taken in 2025 were initiated to reduce Kodak’s cost structure as part of its commitment to drive sustainable profitability and included various targeted reductions in manufacturing, service, sales and administrative, and research and development functions.
34
Table of Contents
As a result of these actions, for the year ended December 31, 2025, Kodak recorded $21 million of charges of which $20 million were reported in Restructuring costs and other and $1 million were reported in Cost of revenues in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Kodak made cash payments related to restructuring of approximately $9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025.
The restructuring actions implemented in 2025 are expected to generate future annual cash savings of approximately $23 million. These savings are expected to reduce future annual Cost of revenues, SG&A expenses and R&D costs by $13 million, $6 million and $4 million, respectively. Kodak expects the majority of the annual savings to take effect by the end of 2026 as actions are completed. See Note 19, “Restructuring Costs and Other” for additional information on Kodak’s restructuring actions.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Management’s Assessment of Liquidity
Kodak ended the year with a cash balance of $337 million, an increase of $136 million from December 31, 2024, primarily driven by the cash received from the settlement and reversion of assets from the Kodak Retirement Income Plan ("KRIP").
During the fourth quarter of 2025, Kodak received $144 million in net cash from the reversion of assets from KRIP to the Company, after required debt payments and payment of excise taxes, and $158 million of investment assets, of which $9 million of cash proceeds was received from these investment assets subsequent to the reversion to the Company. In January 2026, Kodak received $44 million of additional cash proceeds from the redemption of a portion of these investments and expects to receive an additional $55 million in cash proceeds by December 31, 2026. The remaining value of the investment assets is expected to be converted to cash primarily in 2027 and 2028. See the “Kodak Retirement Income Plan” section below for additional details.
Available liquidity includes existing cash and cash equivalent balances. The amount of available liquidity is subject to fluctuations and includes cash balances held by various entities worldwide. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, approximately $231 million and $118 million, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents were held within the U.S. and approximately $106 million and $83 million, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents were held outside the U.S. Cash balances held outside the U.S. are generally required to support local country operations and may have high tax costs or other limitations that delay the ability to repatriate, and therefore may not be readily available for transfer to other jurisdictions. Kodak utilizes cash balances outside the U.S. to fund needs in the U.S. through the use of intercompany loans.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, outstanding intercompany loans to the U.S. were $509 million and $483 million, respectively, which included short-term intercompany loans from Kodak’s international finance center of $235 million and $208 million, respectively. In China, where approximately $35 million and $29 million of cash and cash equivalents was held as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, there are limitations related to net asset balances that may impact the ability to make cash available to other jurisdictions in the world. Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement, the Company is permitted to invest up to $60 million (or $75 million after the Deleveraging Milestone Date) in Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Loan Parties and in joint ventures or Unrestricted Subsidiaries that are not party to the Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement.
The Company’s Hong Kong subsidiary has an intercompany loan from one of the Company’s Chinese subsidiaries with a maturity date of November 16, 2024, the proceeds of which were in turn loaned to the Company. The terms of the intercompany loan were modified during the fourth quarter of 2024 to extend the maturity date to November 16, 2026 and for the Company to make efforts to repay the outstanding loan balance prior to maturity. The prior intercompany loan agreement provided for it to be repaid over two years in four equal $20 million installments, the first of which was due by November 16, 2023 with the remaining installments due in 2024. The Company paid $2 million in the first quarter of 2024 and $10 million in the second quarter of 2024 towards the first $20 million installment. The outstanding amount of the intercompany loan as of December 31, 2025 was $68 million. The Company is evaluating repayment alternatives for the current loan agreement which would allow Kodak and its subsidiaries to perform their obligations to each other while minimizing the impact on U.S. liquidity taking into account requirements imposed by Chinese regulators. Any amounts repaid to the Chinese subsidiary may not be able to be loaned, repatriated or otherwise moved back to the U.S., in which case the Company’s U.S. liquidity would be reduced.
Kodak's cash flows continue to be negatively impacted by volume declines, higher manufacturing costs and increased labor, material and distribution costs, supply chain disruptions and shortages in materials and labor. The impacts from price increases, savings relating to rationalization, cost reductions and operational efficiencies and supply chain-related cost improvements continue to positively impact Kodak’s operations.
On March 11, 2026 (the “Amendment Date”), the Company filed with the Department of Treasury of the State of New Jersey a Certificate of Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company which amended certain
35
Table of Contents
terms of the Series B Certificate of Designations (the “2026 Series B Amendment”). The 2026 Series B Amendment provides (i) if any shares of Series B Preferred Stock have not been converted prior to June 11, 2029, the Company is required to redeem such shares at $100 per share plus the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends, (ii) holders of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to cumulative dividends payable quarterly in cash at a rate of 6.0% per annum, (iii) each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of each holder at any time, into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $10.00 per share (subject to certain customary anti-dilution adjustments) and (iv) the Company has the right to cause the mandatory conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock in three tranches of the Series B Preferred Stock if the closing price of the Common Stock has for 45 trading days within a period of 60 consecutive trading days a) equaled or exceeded $14.50 after eighteen months from the Amendment Date, b) equaled or exceeded $15.50 after twenty four months from the Amendment Date and c) equaled or exceeded $16.50 after thirty months from the Amendment Date (in each case, the amounts per share is subject to adjustment in the same manner as the conversion price).
On May 21, 2025, the Company entered into an ATM Equity Offering Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with BofA Securities, Inc. (“BofA”), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell up to $100 million of shares of the Company’s common stock (the “shares”), from time to time, in “at-the-market” offerings through BofA, as sales agent or as principal. During 2025, the Company sold 200,000 shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement for net proceeds of approximately $1 million. The Company used the net proceeds from the sale of the shares for general corporate purposes.
On November 4, 2025, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors entered into the Third Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “November 2025 Term Loan Credit Agreement Amendment”) with the Term Loan Lenders and the Term Loan Agent. The November 2025 Term Loan Credit Agreement Amendment (i) removed the mandatory redemption of Series B Preferred Stock as a basis for accelerating the August 15, 2028 maturity date of the Term Loans, (ii) eliminated the mandatory prepayment obligation requiring Kodak to use 50% of the net cash proceeds from certain transactions to prepay Term Loans below $200 million, (iii) provided the Company the option to prepay the Term Loans after May 15, 2026 with cash proceeds from certain transactions plus a 4% prepayment fee, (iv) removed limitations on restricted payments on the repurchase or redemption of the Series B Preferred Stock subject to certain restrictions and (v) removed the requirement to include reversion proceeds not used to prepay Term Loans in the calculation of Excess Cash Flow as defined in the Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement.
On November 4, 2025, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Letter of Credit Facility Agreement (the “November 2025 L/C Facility Amendment”) with the L/C Lenders and Bank of America, N.A. The November 2025 L/C Facility Amendment (i) removed the mandatory redemption of Series B Preferred Stock as a basis for accelerating the maturity date of the facility, resulting in the maturity date of the facility being May 17, 2028, the date that is 90 days prior to the maturity date of the Term Loans, and (ii) removed limitations on restricted payments on the repurchase or redemption of the Series B Preferred Stock subject to certain restrictions.
On March 11, 2026, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors entered into the Fourth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “March 2026 Term Loan Credit Agreement Amendment”) with the Term Loan Lenders and the Term Loan Agent. The March 2026 Term Loan Credit Agreement Amendment requires the Company to pay $50 million of the Term Loans on or before March 18, 2026 and $50 million on or before June 1, 2026, in each case plus a 1% prepayment fee.
The economic uncertainties surrounding the current inflationary environment and other global events represent additional elements of complexity in Kodak’s plans to return to sustainable positive cash flow. The Company cannot predict the duration and scope of such events, including the impact of rising costs of labor, commodity and distribution costs and increased product costs from tariffs, the wars in Ukraine and Iran and the other conflicts involving Israel, and other factors such as the ability to continue to secure raw materials and components, the ability to increase prices to offset rising product costs or how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume.
The cash proceeds from the KRIP reversion and additional cash proceeds expected from the redemption or other monetization of investment assets provides additional liquidity to the Company to adequately fund on‐going operations and to invest in growth opportunities in Kodak’s businesses of print and advanced materials and chemicals and for corporate infrastructure investments expected to contribute to improvements in cash flow.
Kodak's plans to return to sustainable positive cash flow include generating profitable revenues through continued pricing actions and customer-focused initiatives, invest in new product innovation to drive growth, implementing effective working capital utilization, reducing operating expenses, continuing to simplify the organizational structure, investing in IT systems to drive operational efficiencies, effectively managing world-wide cash through intercompany loans, distributions or other mechanisms, generating cash from selling and leasing underutilized assets or through new licensing opportunities and implementing ways to reduce cash collateral needs.

Kodak believes its liquidity position is adequate to fund operations, meet its obligations and provide the flexibility to respond as necessary to ordinary changes in the business and economic environment within twelve months as of the filing of this Form 10-K.
KODAK RETIREMENT INCOME PLAN
On January 21, 2025, the Board of Directors of Kodak approved the termination of KRIP effective March 31, 2025, at which time all benefits under KRIP were frozen. In addition, the Board of Directors approved a defined benefit retirement plan (the “Kodak Cash Balance Plan”) as a replacement for KRIP which became effective on March 1, 2025 for new hires and April 1, 2025 for current employees. The benefits under the Kodak Cash Balance Plan are substantially the same as those under the cash balance feature of KRIP.
On October 21, 2025, the annuity obligations with respect to all KRIP annuitants (approximately 27,000 participants and beneficiaries) representing approximately $1.8 billion of pension obligation was transferred to Metropolitan Tower Life Insurance Company through the purchase of a group annuity contract, the premium for which was funded directly and solely by the assets of KRIP. In addition, on October 1, 2025, KRIP settled approximately $76 million of pension obligations through lump-sum payments to deferred vested participants and on October 31, 2025, KRIP settled approximately $157 million of pension obligations through lump-sum payments to active participants. On November 26, 2025, KRIP transferred its sole remaining liabilities and associated cash of approximately $13 million for missing participants to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation missing program. As a result, all pension obligations under KRIP had been fully settled and the excess pension assets of $1.023 billion (the “Reversion Assets”) as of November 26, 2025 (the “Reversion Date”) reverted to the Company.
The Reversion Assets were comprised of cash of $614 million and investment assets valued at $409 million. The Company directed 25% of the Reversion Assets, consisting of $5 million of cash and $251 million of investment assets, to the Kodak Cash Balance Plan that will provide benefits to the Company’s employees for the foreseeable future without additional cash cost to the Company. The remaining cash of $609 million and investments valued at $158 million were distributed to the Company.
On November 28, 2025, the Company used $312 million of cash proceeds received from the Reversion Assets to repay outstanding term loans, which represented the principal amount of the Term Loans required to reduce the outstanding balance to $200 million plus accrued interest and prepayment premium, in accordance with the terms of the November 2025 Term Loan Credit Agreement Amendment.
On December 30, 2025, Kodak paid $153 million from the cash proceeds received from the Reversion Assets to satisfy the 20% excise tax on the remaining surplus from the reversion of assets from KRIP to the Company after capitalization of the Kodak Cash Balance Plan.
The $158 million of investment assets received by the Company from the Reversion Assets are primarily hedge fund investments which are in redemption. Subsequent to the Reversion Date, Kodak received $9 million of cash proceeds from these investments in December 2025. The total fair value of these investments as of December 31, 2025 approximated $152 million. In January 2026, Kodak received $44 million of additional cash proceeds from the redemption of a portion of these investments and expects to receive an additional $55 million in cash proceeds by December 31, 2026. The remaining value of the investment assets is expected to be converted to cash primarily in 2027 and 2028. The actual amount and timing of cash received from the investment assets will fluctuate based on the investment performance of the investments during the redemption period and could be adversely impacted by other events that could affect the value of those investments.
Amended and Restated Letter of Credit Facility Agreement
Approximately $24 million and $27 million of letters of credit were issued under the Amended and Restated L/C Facility Agreement as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The letters of credit under the Amended and Restated L/C Facility Agreement are collateralized by cash collateral (the “L/C Cash Collateral”). The L/C Cash Collateral was $25 million and $29 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which was classified as Restricted Cash.

Operating Activities
Net cash from operating activities increased $487 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared with the prior year primarily due to cash proceeds received from Reversion Assets from KRIP of $618 million and a decrease in inventory and improved earnings from operations, which were partially offset by a $153 million payment of excise tax on KRIP reversion asset surplus and a decrease in cash proceeds related to brand licensing of $35 million.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities decreased $10 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the prior year due to a decrease in capital expenditures ($22 million) partially offset by a decline in proceeds from the sale of assets ($12 million).
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities increased $291 million in the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the prior year, primarily due the repayment of the Term Loans ($306 million) with cash proceeds from Reversion Assets.
Other Collateral Requirements
The NYS WCB requires security deposits related to self-insured workers’ compensation obligations, which security deposits are recalculated annually. Due to changes in 2019 to the manner in which the required security deposit is determined, the Company has been required to post additional collateral over the last several years. At December 31, 2022, the Company posted $75 million of collateral, representing 107% of the Company’s undiscounted actuarial workers’ compensation obligations. Effective May 1, 2023, the Company added New York to its existing workers compensation liability insurance policy and is no longer self-insured for future claims. As a result, the NYS WCB confirmed the Company will no longer be obligated to post any additional collateral. On July 1, 2025, the Company submitted a current actuarial report to the NYS WCB and requested a review of the collateral requirements. The NYS WCB confirmed no change in the collateral was required at this time.
Based on the legacy nature of the Company’s workers’ compensation obligations, the undiscounted actuarial obligation has been declining and the Company expects this trend to continue. While it may not be indicative of the rate of future declines, the undiscounted actuarial liability declined by an average of $5 million per year between 2014 and 2025. Accordingly, subject to the possibility of other changes to the calculation of required security deposits by the NYS WCB, the Company expects the amount of the required security deposits to decline over time and the gradual return of the security deposits that have been made or the capital used to support such security deposits.
In the third quarter of 2023, the Company deposited $68 million directly with the NYS WCB and cancelled the corresponding letter of credit supporting the associated liability. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $45 million of surety bonds and $30 million deposited directly with the NYS WCB supporting the associated liability. The surety bonds are collateralized with $32 million of cash and the Company could be required to provide up to $13 million of additional cash or letters of credit to the issuers of certain surety bonds in the future to fully collateralize the bonds.

Other Uses of Cash Related to Financing Transactions
The holders of the Term Loans are entitled to quarterly cash interest payments at a rate of 7.5% per annum and 5.0% per annum PIK or in cash at the Company’s option. The May 2025 Term Loan Credit Agreement Amendment provides the Company the option to pay the Cash Interest Payment entirely in PIK for the next six quarterly interest payments. The Company elected to pay the Cash Interest Payment for the second and third quarters of 2025 entirely in PIK and the fourth quarter Cash Interest Payment entirely in cash. In addition, the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to cumulative dividends payable quarterly in cash at a rate of 4.0% per annum. Until the second quarter of 2025, all dividends owed on the Series B Preferred Stock were declared and paid when due. No quarterly cash dividend was declared in the second, third and fourth quarters of 2025. The dividends for these quarters were paid in February 2026.
Series C Preferred Stock Exchange
On August 8, 2025, the Company issued 15,103,163 shares of common stock in exchange for all outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock, including accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, pursuant to a Series C Preferred Stock Exchange Agreement entered into with the Investor on August 8, 2025. Following the completion of the exchange, the Company had no outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock and the Company’s obligations with respect to the Series C Preferred Stock were fully discharged.
Defined Benefit Pension and Postretirement Plans
Kodak made contributions (funded plans) or paid net benefits (unfunded plans) totaling approximately $14 million relating to its non-U.S. defined benefit pension and postretirement benefit plans in 2025. For 2026, the forecasted contribution (funded plans) and benefit payment (unfunded plans) requirements for its non-U.S. defined benefit pension and postretirement plans are approximately $10 million. Kodak expects benefit payments (unfunded plans) related to its non-major U.S. plans to be less than $1 million.
Capital Expenditures
Cash flows from investing activities included $34 million for capital expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2025. Kodak expects approximately $45 million to $55 million of cash flows for investing activities from capital expenditures for the year ending December 31, 2026.
BEPS Pillar 2
In December 2021, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) introduced Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (“BEPS”) Pillar 2 rules that imposed a global minimum tax rate of 15%. Numerous countries, including European Union member states, enacted legislation that took effect on January 1, 2024. To mitigate the administrative burden in complying with the OECD Global BEPS rules during the initial years of implementation, the OECD developed the temporary “Transitional Country-by-Country Safe Harbor” ("Safe Harbor"). This transitional Safe Harbor applies for fiscal years beginning on or before December 31, 2026. Under the Safe Harbor, the top-up tax for such jurisdiction is deemed to be zero, provided that at least one of the Safe Harbor tests is met for the jurisdiction.
Kodak was able to avail itself of the Pillar 2 transitional safe harbor rules in most of the jurisdictions in which it operates. As of December 31, 2025, the impact of Pillar 2 legislation was immaterial to Kodak.
General implementation of the Global minimum tax (by non-US taxing authorities) became effective January 1, 2025. Kodak’s policy is to recognize the impact related to Pillar 2 transitional safe harbor as period costs. The Company believes that it will continue to benefit from the Safe Harbor provisions and that there will not be a material impact to the financial statements.
Kodak will continue to monitor the legislative developments of Pillar 2 framework in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates.

Represents the maturity values of Kodak's long-term debt obligations as of December 31, 2025. The contractual obligations do not reflect any contingent mandatory annual principal prepayments that may be required to be made upon achieving certain excess cash flow targets or from the Net Proceeds from the sale of Target Non-Core Assets, as such terms are defined in the Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement. Refer to Note 9, "Debt and Credit Facilities."

Purchase obligations include agreements related to raw materials, supplies, production and administrative services, as well as marketing and advertising, that are enforceable and legally binding on Kodak and that specify all significant terms, including: fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction. Purchase obligations exclude agreements that are cancelable without penalty.
(4)
On February 26, 2021, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock with a liquidation preference of $100 per share. The holders of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to cumulative dividends payable quarterly in cash at a rate of 4% per annum. If holders of the Series B Preferred stock convert their shares into common stock, dividends will decrease. The Company is required to redeem all shares not converted prior to May 28, 2026 at $100 per share plus the amount of any accrued and unpaid dividends. Due to uncertainty regarding the number of shares that will be redeemed, the redemption amount has not been included in the above table. Refer to Note 10, "Redeemable, Convertible Preferred Stock."
(5)
Due to uncertainty regarding the completion of tax audits and possible outcomes, an estimate of the timing of payments related to uncertain tax positions and interest cannot be made. See Note 18, “Income Taxes,” for additional information regarding Kodak's uncertain tax positions.
(6)
For 2026, the Company currently forecasts $10 million in contributions and net benefit payments for its Non-U.S. major defined benefit retirement plans and other postretirement benefit plans. Expected contributions are excluded from the contractual obligations table because they do not represent contractual cash outflows, as they are dependent on numerous factors which may result in a wide range of outcomes.
(7)
Because timing of their future cash outflows is uncertain, the other long-term liabilities presented in Note 8, “Other Long-Term Liabilities,” are excluded from this table.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Preparation of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements are more fully described in Note 1, “Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” The accounting policies most critical to the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and requiring the most difficult, subjective or complex judgments are described below.
Taxes
Kodak accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. This approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of operating losses, credit carryforwards and temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax basis of Kodak’s assets and liabilities.
40
Table of Contents
Kodak records a valuation allowance to reduce its net deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Management is required to exercise judgment in assessing the realizability of Kodak’s deferred tax assets, considering all available positive and negative evidence. Inherent in this process is the requirement to estimate forecasted earnings, future taxable income, and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis. It is possible that actual results will differ from assumptions and require adjustments to allowances. Future periods may also provide positive evidence sufficient to conclude that all or part of the valuation allowance recorded in each jurisdiction can be reversed. However, when an accumulation of recent losses or other negative evidence exists, it can be challenging to use forecasted earnings as a source of income when determining whether deferred tax assets can be realized.
Kodak’s ability to utilize its U.S. net operating losses (“NOLs”) and tax credits may be subject to limitations imposed by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Section 382 limits the utilization of NOLs in the event of significant changes in the stock ownership of the Company. An ownership change occurs if, among other things, the aggregate ownership of stockholders owning five percent of Kodak’s stock increases by more than 50 percentage points over a three-year rolling period. An ownership change can also occur with other items, such as the sale of Kodak shares that are owned by its 5% shareholders. Future transactions, when combined with reported transactions within the testing period, could aggregate an ownership change during the testing period in excess of 50 percentage points.
A Section 382 ownership change would significantly impair Kodak’s ability to utilize NOLs and tax credits in the U.S. As of December 31, 2025, Kodak had available U.S. NOL carry-forwards for income tax purposes of approximately $1,906 million and unused foreign tax credits of $37 million. Any impairment of these tax attributes would be fully offset by a corresponding decrease in Kodak’s U.S. valuation allowance, which would result in no net tax provision.
Kodak intends to repatriate its offshore earnings when prudent. Accordingly, it recorded deferred tax liabilities of $15 million for potential taxes on undistributed earnings as of both December 31, 2025 and 2024. These taxes are primarily attributable to foreign withholding taxes.
Kodak operates within multiple taxing jurisdictions worldwide and is subject to audits in these jurisdictions. These audits can involve complex issues, which may require many years to resolve. Management believes that adequate provisions have been made for such issues, however, there is the possibility that the ultimate resolution of such issues could have an adverse effect on the earnings of Kodak. Conversely, if these issues are resolved favorably, the related provisions would be reduced, thus having a positive impact on earnings. Management’s ongoing assessments of the outcomes of these issues and related tax positions requires judgment.
Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits
Kodak’s defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit costs and obligations are estimated using several key assumptions. Actual results that differ from Kodak’s assumptions are recorded as unrecognized gains and losses as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income in shareholders’ equity and are amortized to earnings over the estimated future service period of the active participants in the plan or, if the plan is almost entirely inactive, the average remaining lifetime expectancy of inactive participants, to the extent such total net unrecognized gains and losses exceed 10% of the greater of the plan's projected benefit obligation ("PBO") or the calculated value of plan assets. Significant differences in actual experience or significant changes in future assumptions would affect Kodak’s pension and other postretirement benefit costs and obligations.
During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Kodak Retirement Income Plan (“KRIP”) settled approximately $2 billion of pension obligations through a combination of lump sum payments to participants, the purchase of a group annuity contract and payment to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. As of the Reversion Date, KRIP reverted excess pension assets of $1.023 billion to the Company, of which $256 million was transferred to the Kodak Cash Balance Plan which is the replacement plan for KRIP.
Kodak concluded that it was probable that the criteria for settlement accounting for KRIP would be met in 2025 as the projected cost of all settlements would exceed the sum of the service cost and interest cost components of net periodic pension cost for the year. As a result, Kodak applied settlement accounting and remeasured KRIP for each of the first three quarterly periods in 2025 and as of the Reversion Date. The significant assumptions used in the quarterly remeasurements related to measuring KRIP on a termination basis specifically related to the assumed premiums for purchasing annuities to settle obligations, changes in discount rates and return on plan assets during the termination process. As KRIP’s pension obligations were fully settled as of November 26, 2025, Kodak recorded a settlement gain of $66 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 which represented the recognition of the remaining unrealized amounts for KRIP that were included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in shareholders’ equity.
Historically, KRIP accounted for substantially all of Kodak’s net pension income and represented approximately 86% and 80%, respectively, of the total fair value of plan assets and PBO of the major defined benefit plans as of December 31, 2024. Total pension income from continuing operations before special termination benefits, curtailments and settlements for the major defined benefit plans was $45 million for 2025 and is expected to be approximately $2 million in 2026. The decrease relates to the settlement of
41
Table of Contents
KRIP. Changes in discount rates or expected rates of return on plan assets for Kodak’s remaining defined benefit plans would not have a material impact on pension income or the PBO of the Company.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of average cost or net realizable value. Judgment is required to assess the ultimate demand for and realizable value of inventory. The analysis of inventory carrying values considers several factors including length of time inventory is on hand, historical sales, product shelf life, product life cycle, product category and product obsolescence. The Company also relies, in certain instances, on demand forecasts from its distributors, and adverse changes in such demand forecasts, when they become known, are taken into consideration when analyzing the carrying values of inventories.
New Accounting Pronouncements
A description of new accounting pronouncements is contained in Note 1, “Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.”
