“Kodak delivered strong performance in the third quarter, delivering significant year-over-year increases in gross profit and Operational EBITDA while continuing to focus on driving operational excellence,” said Jim Continenza, Kodak’s Executive Chairman and CEO. “Our AM&C business continued to grow both revenue and profitability and that group’s cGMP pharmaceutical manufacturing facility is now certified to manufacture and sell regulated products, with the goal of expanding our product offering over time. More recently, our AM&C unit’s film business launched still films, which will be sold directly to distributors, giving Kodak greater control over our participation in the consumer film market and providing distributors, retailers and consumers with more stable pricing and a broader, more reliable supply. We also recently met our obligations to our U.S. pension plan participants as part of our pension reversion plan and established a new pension plan for employees that is identical to active employee benefit features of the prior plan. By managing the process patiently and carefully we have obtained favorable annuity pricing and investment returns, which resulted in the expected reversion amount to increase from $500 million to $600 million. The next step will be to use the surplus assets from the reversion to pay down debt and strengthen our balance sheet. The reversion frees us up to continue accelerating our plan to create a strong, growing Kodak for our employees and shareholders.”

For the quarter ended September 30, 2025, revenues were $269 million, an increase of $8 million or 3 percent compared to the same period in 2024. Adjusting for the favorable impact of foreign exchange of $4 million, revenues increased by $4 million, or 2 percent when compared to the prior year.

GAAP net income was $13 million for the quarter, compared to net income of $18 million in 2024, a decrease of $5 million or 28 percent. Operational EBITDA for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, was $29 million, compared to $1 million in 2024, an increase of $28 million. Adjusting for the favorable impact of foreign exchange of $1 million, Operational EBITDA increased by $27 million compared to the prior year period. The increase in Operational EBITDA was primarily driven by price increases, higher volumes, lower aluminum costs, inventory reserve adjustment recorded in the prior year period, and lower spend related to certain litigation matters, partially offset by higher manufacturing costs.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2025, AM&C revenues were $82 million, an increase of $11 million or 15 percent compared to the same period in 2024. AM&C Operational EBITDA increased $10 million compared to the same period in 2024. The increase in revenues and Operational EBITDA for AM&C were primarily driven by price increases and higher volumes in Industrial Film and Chemicals and Motion Picture.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2025, Print revenues were $177 million, a decrease of $5 million or 3 percent compared to the same period in 2024 primarily driven by lower volume related to Prepress Solutions partially offset by price increases. Print Operational EBITDA increased $17 million compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to price increases, lower aluminum costs, lower selling, general and administrative costs, and inventory reserve adjustment recorded in the prior year period, partially offset by higher manufacturing costs.

Kodak ended the quarter with a cash balance of $168 million, an increase of $13 million from June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by improved profitability from operations. The cash balance at September 30, 2025, decreased $33 million from December 31, 2024, primarily driven by capital expenditures to fund growth initiatives and changes in working capital.

“In Q3 we continued to improve our use of cash compared to Q2, increasing our cash balance to $168 million from $155 million at the end of the second quarter,” said David Bullwinkle, Kodak’s CFO. “We have taken decisive steps to strengthen and reduce debt levels on Kodak’s balance sheet. The cash from the pension reversion will reduce our term debt to $200 million, lowering interest expense and improving liquidity, resulting in our healthiest balance sheet in years. We have confidence that the continued execution of our plan will provide the liquidity to fulfill our obligations. We remain committed to a disciplined approach to cash management, driving operational efficiencies and margin improvement to deliver sustainable, long-term value for our shareholders.”

APPENDICES

In this third quarter 2025 financial results news release, reference is made to the following non-GAAP financial measures:

• Operational EBITDA; and
• Revenues and Operational EBITDA on a constant currency basis.

Kodak believes that these non-GAAP measures represent important internal measures of performance. Accordingly, where they are provided, it is to give investors the same financial data management uses with the belief that this information will assist the investment community in properly assessing the underlying performance of Kodak, its financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.

Kodak’s segment measure of profit and loss is an adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Operational EBITDA”). Operational EBITDA represents the earnings (loss) from continuing operations excluding the provision for income taxes; non-service cost components of pension and other postemployment benefits income; depreciation and amortization expense; restructuring costs and other; consulting and other costs; stock-based compensation expense; idle costs; interest expense; and other charges (income), net.

The change in revenues and Operational EBITDA on a constant currency basis, as presented in this financial results news release, is calculated by using average foreign exchange rates for the three months ended September 30, 2024, rather than the actual average exchange rates in effect for the three months ended September 30, 2025.

The following table reconciles the most directly comparable GAAP measure of Net Income to Operational EBITDA and Operational EBITDA on a constant currency basis for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively:
