Full-year 2022 highlights include:

• Consolidated revenues of $1.205 billion, compared with $1.150 billion for the full year 2021, an increase of $55 million or 5 percent (increased by $125 million on a constant currency basis, or 11 percent)
• Gross profit percentage of 14 percent, flat compared to 2021
• GAAP net income of $26 million, compared with $24 million for 2021, an increase of 8 percent

"Kodak delivered strong performance in 2022, growing revenue in consecutive years for the first time in decades, launching new products and investing in our future despite ongoing inflationary and supply chain challenges," said Jim Continenza, Kodak's Executive Chairman and CEO. "Our performance reflected the success of our strategic plan, which began four years ago with stabilizing our balance sheet, reorganizing as One Kodak and focusing on our core businesses. Our priorities for 2022 included providing our customers with uninterrupted supplies, reducing costs by improving operational efficiency and implementing pricing actions to realize the value of our offerings, which contributed to a year-over-year increase in gross profit for the fourth quarter. We also continued to invest in initiatives including updating our infrastructure and developing growth businesses in our Advanced Materials & Chemicals group. More recently, we debuted the groundbreaking KODAK PROSPER ULTRA 520 Inkjet Press and KODACHROME Inks at the Hunkeler Innovationdays event and received extremely positive reaction from customers and prospects who are excited about the new press's ability to increase productivity by delivering offset quality at unprecedented speeds. Our goal is to build on the momentum we've generated to continue our transformation in 2023."

For the full year ended December 31, 2022, revenues were $1.205 billion, an improvement of $55 million or 5 percent compared to the same period in 2021. Adjusting for the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange of $70 million, revenues increased by $125 million, or 11 percent compared to the prior year.

GAAP net income was $26 million for the full year, compared to $24 million in 2021 an increase of 8 percent. Operational EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $18 million, compared to $11 million in 2021, an increase of 64 percent. The increase was primarily driven by the growth in revenue due to improved pricing, partially offset by higher continued ongoing global cost increases and the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange.

Kodak was cash neutral for Q4 2022 and ended the year with a cash balance of $217 million, a decrease of $145 million from December 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by a use of cash from working capital mainly attributable to increased investment in inventory to strengthen the Company's ability to supply customers, unfavorable effects of foreign exchange, increased capital investment and the investment in Wildcat Discovery Technologies, partially offset by proceeds received under the Term Loan Credit Agreement.

"Kodak was cash neutral for Q4 2022, an achievement we're proud of considering the unprecedented cost increases our team was able to more than offset for the quarter," said David Bullwinkle, Kodak's CFO. "The Company ended 2022 with $217 million in cash and cash equivalents, a decrease of $145 million from December 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by the cost of building inventory to keep customers supplied and productive, ongoing investment in growth initiatives and the headwind of unfavorable foreign exchange. We expect to continue our transition to cash generation and drive improved cash flow for 2023."
