2002 COMPARED WITH 2001

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - CONTINUING OPERATIONS

Consolidated Net worldwide sales were $12,835 million for 2002 as compared with $13,229 million for 2001, representing a decrease of $394 million, or 3% as reported, with no net impact from exchange. Declines in volume accounted for approximately 1.5 percentage points of the sales decrease, driven primarily by volume decreases in traditional film and U.S. photofinishing services. Declines in price/mix reduced sales for 2002 by approximately 1.5 percentage points, driven primarily by traditional consumer film products and health film and laser imaging systems.

Net sales in the U.S. were $5,993 million for the current year as compared with $6,459 million for the prior year, representing a decrease of $466 million, or 7%. Net sales outside the U.S. were $6,842 million for the current year as compared with $6,770 million for the prior year, representing an increase of $72 million, or 1% as reported, with no impact from exchange.

Net sales in the Europe, Asia, Africa, and Middle East Region (EAMER) for 2002 were $3,491 million as compared with $3,333 million for 2001, representing an increase of 5% as reported, or 1% excluding the favorable impact of exchange. Net sales in the Asia Pacific region for 2002 increased slightly from $2,231 million for 2001 to $2,240 million for 2002, with no impact from exchange. Net sales in the Canada and Latin America region for 2002 were $1,111 million as compared with $1,206 million for 2001, representing a decrease of 8% as reported, or an increase of 6% excluding the negative impact of exchange.

Net sales for Emerging Market countries were $2,425 million for 2002 as compared with $2,371 million for 2001, representing an increase of $54 million, or 2%. Sales growth in China and Russia of 25% and 20%, respectively, were the primary drivers of the increase in sales in Emerging Market countries, partially offset by decreased sales in Argentina, Brazil and Mexico of 53%, 11% and 6%, respectively. The sales growth in China resulted from strong business performance for health and consumer products. The sales growth in Russia is a result of the expansion of new channel operations for Kodak products and services and continued success in camera seeding programs. The sales declines in Argentina, Brazil and Mexico are reflective of the continued economic weakness currently being experienced by many Latin American emerging market countries. The emerging market portfolio accounted for approximately 19% and 35% of the Company's worldwide and non-U.S. sales, respectively, in 2002.

Gross profit was $4,610 million for 2002 as compared with $4,568 million for 2001, representing an increase of $42 million, or 1%. The gross profit margin was 35.9% in the current year as compared with 34.5% in the prior year. The increase of 1.4 percentage points was primarily attributable to manufacturing productivity/cost, which favorably impacted gross profit margins by approximately 2.7 percentage points year-over-year due to reduced labor expense, favorable materials pricing and improved product yields. This increase was also attributable to costs associated with restructuring and the exit of an equipment manufacturing facility incurred in 2001 but not in the current year, which negatively impacted gross profit margins for 2001 by approximately 1.0 percentage point. The positive impacts to gross profit were partially offset by year-over-year price/mix declines, which reduced gross profit margins by approximately 2.3 percentage points. The price/mix decreases were primarily related to declining prices on consumer film, health laser imaging systems and consumer color paper, and product shifts primarily in the Photography segment.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) were $2,530 million for 2002 as compared with $2,625 million for 2001, representing a decrease of $95 million, or 4%. SG&A decreased slightly as a percentage of sales from 19.8% for the prior year to 19.7% for the current year. The net decrease in SG&A is primarily attributable to the cost savings from the employment reductions and other non-severance related components of the Company's focused cost reductions, offset by acquisitions in the Photography and Commercial segments and higher strategic venture investment impairments in 2002 when compared with 2001 of $15 million.

Research and development (R&D) costs remained relatively flat at $762 million for 2002 as compared with $779 million for 2001, representing a decrease of $17 million, or 2%. As a percentage of sales, R&D costs also remained flat at 5.9% for both the current and prior years.
