"In the first quarter, Kodak achieved year-over-year improvement in key metrics, including revenue, gross profit and Operational EBITDA," said Jim Continenza, Kodak’s Executive Chairman and CEO. "We have delivered three consecutive quarters of strong performance, despite a highly volatile and challenging business environment. Our success is no accident.  It reflects several years of investing in innovation and infrastructure and focusing on operational excellence. Looking forward, we plan to build on our momentum by continuing to put our customers first, strengthen our balance sheet and invest in businesses that will drive future growth."

For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, revenues were $265 million, an increase of $18 million or 7 percent compared to the same period in 2025. Adjusting for the favorable impact of foreign exchange of $7 million, revenues increased by $11 million, or 4 percent compared to the prior year.

GAAP net loss was $16 million for the quarter, compared to GAAP net loss of $7 million in 2025, an increase of $9 million. Operational EBITDA for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, was $15 million, compared to $2 million in 2025, an increase of $13 million. The increase in Operational EBITDA was primarily driven by improved pricing, partially offset by higher manufacturing costs and higher silver and aluminum prices. 

Kodak ended the quarter with a cash balance of $299 million, a decrease of $38 million from December 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by an increase in inventory of $38 million primarily driven by silver and aluminum commodities, the required March 13, 2026 principal repayment for the term loans of $50 million, partially offset by cash proceeds from redemption of Kodak Retirement Income Plan reversion investments of $46 million.
