Kodak’s Quarterly Report Highlights Progress in Business Transformation
• Kodak held $862 million in cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2011.
Segment sales and earnings from continuing operations before interest, taxes, and other income and charges (segment earnings from operations), are as follows:
• Reflecting the strategic decision this year to focus on earnings in the digital camera market and to accept lower camera revenue, Consumer Digital Imaging Group third-quarter sales were $408 million, compared with $664 million in the prior-year quarter. This decline also reflects the timing of patent licensing revenue, which was partly offset by growth in the Consumer Inkjet business. Excluding the year-ago patent licensing revenue, the segment’s results improved by $53 million, reflecting the continued growth of ink gross profit within Consumer Inkjet, reduced operating costs stemming from the participation choices in Digital Cameras & Devices, as well as improved operational performance across the entire group. The segment’s third-quarter loss from operations was $90 million, compared with earnings of $67 million in the prior-year quarter, which included the benefit of the non-recurring patent licensing revenue.
