Eastman Kodak Company reported their financial results for the third quarter 2019, including a net loss of $5 million on revenues of $315 million and growth in key print and film product areas:
“The Company will continue to concentrate on delivering industry-leading solutions to customers in our core print and film businesses,” said Jim Continenza, Kodak’s Executive Chairman. “Looking ahead to 2020, we will focus on generating cash by growing profitable revenue, making smart investments and eliminating unnecessary spending.”
For the quarter ended September 30, 2019, revenues decreased by approximately $14 million compared with the same period in 2018. Kodak ended the quarter with a cash balance of $225 million, an increase of $27 million from the June 30, 2019 cash balance of $198 million when adjusted for the assets associated with Kodak’s offset printing plates facility in Xiamen, China being reported as assets held for sale. The current quarter revenues and Operational EBITDA include $13 million of license revenue related to the Lucky HuaGuang Graphics Co., Ltd. transaction.
“We have strengthened our financial position by eliminating significant interest costs with the transactions completed earlier in the year,” said David Bullwinkle, Kodak’s CFO. “For the year to date we have delivered growth in SONORA Process Free Plates, PROSPER Inkjet annuities and our film business. We plan to build on those successes and drive further cost efficiencies to help achieve our goal of generating cash.”
