Form 8-K for EASTMAN KODAK CO

Results of Operations and Financial Condition, Financial Statements and Exhibits


Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On January 30, 2008, Eastman Kodak Company issued a press release describing its financial results for its fourth fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2007. Copies of the press release and financial discussion document are attached as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively, to this report.

Within the Company's fourth quarter 2007 press release, the Company makes reference to certain non-GAAP financial measures including "Digital earnings", "Digital revenue", "Traditional revenue", "Net cash generation", "CDG revenue from digital products growth", "GCG revenue from digital products growth", and "Free cash flow", which have directly comparable GAAP financial measures. The Company believes that these measures represent important internal measures of performance. Accordingly, where these non-GAAP measures are provided, it is done so that investors have the same financial data that management uses with the belief that it will assist the investment community in properly assessing the underlying performance of the Company on a year-over-year basis. Whenever such information is presented, the Company has complied with the provisions of the rules under Regulation G and Item 2.02 of Form 8-K. The specific reasons, in addition to the reasons described above, why the Company's management believes that the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding Kodak's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows are as follows:

Digital earnings / Digital revenue / Traditional revenue / CDG revenue from digital products growth / GCG revenue from digital products growth - Due to the Company's ongoing digital transformation, management views the Company's performance based on the following three key metrics: digital revenue growth, digital earnings growth and net cash generation. These three key metrics are emphasized in the Company's attached earnings release for the fourth quarter of 2007. These digital measures form the basis of internal management performance expectations and certain incentive compensation. Accordingly, these digital measures are presented so that investors have the same financial data that management uses with the belief that it will assist the investment community in properly assessing the underlying performance of the Company against its key metrics on a year-over-year and quarter-sequential basis, as the Company undergoes this digital transformation.


Net cash generation / Free cash flow - The Company believes that the presentation of net cash generation and free cash flow is useful information to investors as it facilitates the comparison of cash flows between reporting periods. In addition, management utilizes these measures as tools to assess the Company's ability to repay debt and repurchase its own common stock, after it has satisfied its working capital needs (including restructuring-related payments), dividends, capital expenditures, acquisitions and investments. The net cash generation measure equals net cash provided by continuing operations from operating activities, as determined under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the U.S. (U.S. GAAP), minus capital expenditures, plus proceeds from the sale of assets and certain businesses, plus investments in unconsolidated affiliates, and minus dividends. The free cash flow measure equals net cash provided by continuing operations from operating activities as determined under U.S. GAAP minus capital expenditures. Net cash generation forms the basis of internal management performance expectations (it is one of the Company's three key metrics) and certain incentive compensation. Accordingly, the Company believes that the presentation of this information is useful to investors as it provides them with the same data as management uses to facilitate their assessment of the Company's cash position.
