Eastman Kodak Company (NYSE: KODK) today reported financial results for the third quarter 2021, including consolidated revenues of $287 million and continued growth in key product areas.

Third-quarter 2021 highlights include:

• Consolidated revenues of $287 million
• GAAP net income of $8 million
• The Company ended the quarter with a cash balance of $380 million

“I’m pleased with our continued improvement in the third quarter despite challenges posed by supply chain issues, labor shortages and inflationary pressures,” said Jim Continenza, Kodak’s Executive Chairman and CEO. “Our core print business has achieved increased market share in environmentally-friendly process-free plates and we are well positioned to continue growing that important segment. Looking forward, we’ll continue to execute our go-to-market strategy focused on driving profitable revenue and growth.”

For the quarter ended September 30, 2021, revenues were $287 million, an improvement of $35 million compared to the prior-year quarter. Kodak ended the third quarter with a cash balance of $380 million, an increase of $184 million from December 31, 2020. GAAP net income was $8 million for the third quarter, compared to a net loss of $445 million in the third quarter 2020. The prior year quarter included a charge of $416 million to reflect the increased value of the derivative liability embedded in the convertible notes immediately prior to conversion. Operational EBITDA for the quarter was $6 million compared to negative $1 million in the prior-year quarter.

“During the third quarter we continued to see strong growth in our key product areas, including SONORA Process Free Plates volume and PROSPER annuities which were up 35 and 17 percent respectively compared to the prior-year quarter,” said David Bullwinkle, Kodak’s CFO. “Kodak used $15 million in cash for the quarter, primarily driven by ongoing global cost increases which we are taking actions to address. We will continue to execute on our long-term plan — focusing on our core businesses and investing in future growth.”
