Eastman Kodak Company reported fourth‑quarter revenue of $290 million, a 9% year‑over‑year increase, driven by a 25% jump in its Advanced Materials & Chemicals segment to $85 million and a 4% rise in Print revenue to $195 million. The company’s total revenue for 2025 rose 2% to $1.069 billion, reflecting steady growth across its core businesses.
Gross profit climbed 31% to $67 million, and operating EBITDA more than doubled to $22 million from $9 million a year earlier, a 144% increase. The improvement in operating leverage is largely attributable to higher gross margins—up from 19% to 23% in Q4—and disciplined cost management across all segments.
Cash at the end of 2025 reached $337 million, an increase of $136 million from December 31 2024. The surge is largely the result of the termination of the Kodak Retirement Income Plan and the reversion of pension assets, which brought in roughly $1.023 billion in cash and investment proceeds, reducing long‑term liabilities and interest expense.
GAAP net loss for the quarter was $108 million and $128 million for the year, largely driven by the KRIP termination and a $153 million excise tax. A $66 million gain on the KRIP settlement partially offset the loss, but the one‑time charges keep the net loss figure high despite the underlying operational turnaround.
Management highlighted the operational recovery, noting that the company’s “balance sheet hasn’t been this strong in many years” and that the cash position now provides a solid foundation for future growth. The CEO emphasized continued investment in new products and a focus on the high‑margin Advanced Materials & Chemicals segment as the company moves forward.
