“After almost five years of executing our plan, we saw our efforts start to come to fruition in 2023, delivering year-over-year improvements in gross profit and Operational EBITDA and building a strong foundation for growth,” said Jim Continenza, Kodak’s Executive Chairman and CEO. “Our recent progress has been the result of our ability to adapt to difficult business conditions and our commitment to executing our long-term plan: investing in innovation, improving efficiency and helping our customers stay productive and profitable. We continue to innovate across our traditional and digital print portfolio, and we will introduce a wide range of products at the upcoming drupa tradeshow. We continue to invest in growth initiatives in our Advanced Materials & Chemicals group and have seen increasing revenue contributions from those businesses. We continue to improve our infrastructure and streamline processes to increase capacity in our film business and gain efficiencies across our enterprise. And most importantly, we have continued to deliver for our customers — and they have shown their appreciation by staying with us through this challenging period. I’d like to thank our customers for their loyalty and our employees for their hard work and winning attitude as we continue the Kodak transformation.”
For the full year ended December 31, 2023, revenues were $1.117 billion, a decrease of $88 million or 7 percent compared to the same period in 2022. Adjusting for the favorable impact of foreign exchange of $1 million, revenues decreased by $89 million, or 7 percent compared to the prior year.
GAAP net income was $75 million for the full year, compared to $26 million in 2022, an increase of $49 million or 188 percent. Operational EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $45 million, compared to $18 million in 2022, an increase of $27 million or 150 percent. The increase was primarily driven by profitability relating to pricing rationalization and improved operational efficiency executing on cost controls, partially offset by higher continued ongoing global cost increases.
Kodak ended the year with a cash balance of $255 million, an increase of $38 million from December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily driven by the net proceeds of $31 million received from July 2023 refinancing transactions.
“Kodak delivered strong cash performance in 2023, generating cash in the fourth quarter and increasing full year cash flow from operations by $154 million compared to 2022,” said David Bullwinkle, Kodak’s CFO. “Throughout the year, our team improved profitability and performance in working capital to enhance the Company’s ability to generate cash which we delivered in three of the last four quarters. The Company also delivered year-over-year improvement in gross profit percentage, reflecting our strategic focus on improving operational efficiency and driving smart revenue. For the year ahead, we plan to build on our momentum by continuing to execute our long-term plan.”

APPENDICES
In this fourth quarter and full year 2023 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; stock-based compensation expense; consulting and other costs; idle costs; other operating expense (income); loss on early extinguishment of debt; interest expense; and other (income) charges, 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 or twelve months ended December 31, 2022, rather than the actual average exchange rates in effect for the three or twelve months ended December 31, 2023.
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 December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively:
(in millions) Q4 2023 Q4 2022 $ Change % Decline Net Income $ 5 $ 7 $ (2 ) -29 % All other 1 (1 ) 2 Depreciation and amortization 7 7 - Restructuring costs and other 1 10 (9 ) Stock based compensation 1 1 - Consulting and other costs(2) (3 ) (9 ) 6 Idle costs(3) 2 1 1 Other operating expense (income), net 6 (1 ) 7 Interest expense 16 11 5 Pension income excluding service cost component (39 ) (21 ) (18 ) Other charges, net 1 (1 ) 2 Provision for income taxes 4 3 1 Operational EBITDA $ 2 $ 7 $ (5 ) -71 % Impact of foreign exchange(5) (2 ) (2 ) Operational EBITDA on a constant currency basis $ - $ 7 $ (7 ) -100 % 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 twelve months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively:
