EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Kodak is a global manufacturer focused on commercial print and advanced materials and chemicals. With 79,000 patents earned over 130 years of research and development ("R&D"), Kodak believes in the power of technology and science to enhance what the world sees and creates. Kodak’s innovative, award-winning products, combined with its customer-first approach, make Kodak the partner of choice for commercial printers worldwide. Kodak is committed to environmental stewardship, including industry leadership in developing sustainable solutions for print.

Consolidated revenues in the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 were $311 million and $576 million, respectively, increases of $48 million (18%) and $66 million (13%), respectively, compared to the prior year quarter and year-to-date period. Currency fluctuations had no material impact on revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025 and a favorable impact on revenues ($7 million) in the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Print revenues in the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 were $195 million and $375 million, respectively, increases of $17 million (10%) and $32 million (9%), respectively, compared to the prior year quarter and year-to-date period. Print revenues accounted for 63% and 65% of Kodak’s total revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively. Advanced Materials and Chemicals revenues in the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 were $105 million and $181 million, respectively, increases of $30 million (40%) and $32 million (21%) compared to the prior year quarter and year-to-date period.

Economic Environment and Other Global Events:

Kodak sells and services its products globally, with more than half of sales generated outside the U.S. The macroeconomic environment remains highly volatile due to changes in trade policies, including tariffs or other trade restrictions or the threat of such actions, geopolitical conflicts, fluctuations in commodity prices, elevated inflation and ongoing supply chain constraints, all of which have impacted Kodak’s operations.

These conditions have contributed to increased manufacturing costs, primarily due to the impact of U.S. tariffs on imported goods (including aluminum, steel and certain raw materials and component parts used in Kodak’s manufacturing and supply chain), as well as increases in commodity prices including aluminum and silver, higher labor, material, and distribution costs, and lower production volumes. The Company has implemented various pricing actions, productivity improvements, supply chain and workforce optimization initiatives and other cost savings activities. In addition, the Company has renegotiated supplier contracts and obtained certain tariff exemptions. Collectively, these actions have largely mitigated the impact of higher manufacturing costs and, as a result, did not have a material adverse effect on Kodak’s operations, financial condition or cash flows for the quarter and six month period ended June 30, 2026.

Kodak is in the process of applying for refunds of certain tariffs pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA"). Refunds received during the current quarter were immaterial. The timing and amount of any future refunds are uncertain and subject to the outcome of the Company's applications and related governmental determinations.

Kodak continues to actively monitor the developments related to tariffs to assess additional actions that may be taken to mitigate the impact of future tariff changes, including further pricing actions, additional cost reduction measures, securing alternative suppliers and evaluating potential changes to the Company’s manufacturing footprint. However, there is substantial uncertainty about the duration of existing tariffs or pauses in tariffs, tariff levels and whether additional tariffs or other retaliatory actions may be imposed, modified or suspended. Countries subject to such tariffs have imposed or may in the future impose reciprocal or retaliatory tariffs and other trade measures. These actions and the related rising political tensions could negatively impact global macroeconomic conditions and the stability of global financial markets. The ultimate impact of any tariffs is uncertain and will depend on various factors, including whether the tariffs are maintained and/or implemented, the duration of the tariffs, any exceptions or exemptions that are or may become available and the timing of their implementation, and scope, all of which could have a material adverse effect on Kodak’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

As a result of a trade case brought by the Company in the U.S., the following duties are currently being imposed on U.S. imports of aluminum lithographic printing plates: (i) anti-dumping duties of 115.84% on plates manufactured in China by Fujifilm and 317.43% on such plates manufactured in China by other entities, (ii) countervailing duties of 35.66% on practically all plates manufactured in China, and (iii) anti-dumping duties of 91.83% on practically all plates manufactured in Japan. Fujifilm has appealed the basis for the imposition of these duties. These duties are in addition to other tariffs that may be imposed on imports generally, including on aluminum derivative products to the extent applicable. There can be no assurance that the duties imposed on imported plates will provide Kodak effective relief and will not be reduced or impaired by any appeal or other challenge.

Kodak has implemented numerous measures to mitigate the challenges associated with supply chain disruptions and shortages in materials, including increasing safety stock on certain materials, increasing lead-times, providing suppliers with longer forecasts of future demand and certifying addit

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

The following MD&A provides a historical and prospective narrative on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. Cross references to Notes in this MD&A are to the Notes in the Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data". The discussion of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to 2023 is included in Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10–K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Consolidated revenues in the year ended December 31, 2025 were $1.069 billion, an increase of $26 million (2%) from 2024. Currency fluctuations impacted revenue favorably in 2025 compared to 2024 ($11 million).

Print revenues, which accounted for 67% of Kodak’s total revenues in 2025, declined by $22 million (3%) compared to 2024. Advanced Materials and Chemicals revenue improved $45 million (17%) from 2024 to 2025.

Economic Environment and Other Global Events

Kodak's products are sold and serviced in numerous countries across the globe with more than half of sales generated outside the U.S. Current global economic conditions remain highly volatile due to the uncertain and unpredictable macroeconomic environment, heightened levels of inflation, changes in trade policies, including tariffs or other trade restrictions or the threat of such actions, fluctuations in commodity prices and other global events which impacted Kodak’s operations.

The U.S. government imposed new tariffs on a range of imported goods, including aluminum, steel and certain raw materials and component parts used in Kodak’s manufacturing and supply chain. The tariffs imposed have resulted in increased manufacturing costs which the Company has been able to largely mitigate through pricing actions, supplier negotiations, obtaining certain exemptions and other cost savings measures. As a result of these actions, the tariffs that have been enacted or expanded by the U.S. did not have a material adverse effect on Kodak’s operations, financial condition or cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Kodak continues to actively monitor the developments related to tariffs and to assess additional actions that may be taken to mitigate the effects of future tariff changes, including further pricing actions, additional cost reduction measures, securing alternative suppliers and evaluating potential changes to the Company’s manufacturing footprint.

However, there is substantial uncertainty about the duration of existing tariffs or pauses in tariffs, tariff levels and whether additional tariffs or other retaliatory actions may be imposed, modified or suspended. Countries subject to such tariffs have imposed or may in the future impose reciprocal or retaliatory tariffs and other trade measures. These actions and the related rising political tensions could negatively impact global macroeconomic conditions and the stability of global financial markets. The ultimate impact of any tariffs is uncertain and will depend on various factors, including whether the tariffs are maintained and/or implemented, the duration of the tariffs, any exceptions or exemptions that are or may become available and the timing of their implementation,

amount and scope, all of which could have a material adverse effect on Kodak’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Kodak has experienced revenue declines primarily within its Print segment due to a slowdown in customer demand largely for plates related to global economic conditions that have negatively impacted volume. The Print segment has implemented various pricing actions and customer-focused initiatives to reduce the impact of lower volumes on revenue. In addition, the Advanced Materials and Chemicals segment implemented various pricing actions primarily within its Industrial Films and Chemicals and Motion Picture businesses.

Kodak is experiencing increased manufacturing costs for certain businesses due to lower volumes and increases in labor, material and distribution costs, as well as supply chain disruptions and shortages in materials and labor. In addition to the pricing actions and customer-focused initiatives described above, Kodak has implemented supply chain and workforce optimization, productivity improvements and other cost savings activities. The combined actions have largely mitigated the impact of increased manufacturing costs. However, the potential worsening of economic conditions, continued decreases in volume and increases in manufacturing and other costs without further price increases, productivity improvements or other cost saving measures, could unfavorably impact Kodak's operating results.

The Advanced Materials and Chemicals segment has also experienced labor shortages in certain manufacturing areas. Increased demand for consumer film products along with manufacturing equipment limitations and labor shortages have contributed to increased backorders. During 2024, the Advanced Materials and Chemicals segment reduced the amount of backorders compared to levels seen in prior years. This was driven by increased headcount and capital investments in equipment upgrades and new equipment that increased capacity and streamlined processes. Increased demand for film products may continue to place stress on manufacturing equipment and the labor force without further investment or additional hiring in specific areas.

Kodak has implemented numerous measures to mitigate the chall
