2011 Activity

The $133 million of charges for the year 2011 includes $10 million of charges for accelerated depreciation and $2 million for inventory write-downs, which were reported in Cost of sales in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations, and $13 million which was reported in discontinued operations.  The remaining costs incurred of $108 million, including $92 million of severance costs, $15 million of exit costs, and $1 million of long-lived asset impairments, were reported as Restructuring costs and other in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations.  The severance and exit costs reserves require the outlay of cash, while long-lived asset impairments, accelerated depreciation and inventory write-downs represent non-cash items.

The 2011 severance costs related to the elimination of approximately 1,225 positions, including approximately 575 manufacturing/service, 550 administrative and 100 research and development positions.  The geographic composition of these positions includes approximately 725 in the United States and Canada, and 500 throughout the rest of the world.

The charges of $133 million recorded in 2011 included $23 million applicable to the Graphics, Entertainment and Commercial Films Segment, $6 million applicable to the Digital Printing and Enterprise Segment and $91 million that was applicable to manufacturing/service, research and development, and administrative functions, which are shared across all segments.  The remaining $13 million was applicable to discontinued operations.

As a result of these initiatives, severance payments were paid during periods through 2012 since, in many instances, the employees whose positions were eliminated can elect or are required to receive their payments over an extended period of time.  In addition, certain exit costs, such as long-term lease payments, were paid over periods throughout 2012 and beyond.

2012 Activity

The $271 million of charges for the year 2012 includes $13 million of charges for accelerated depreciation and $4 million for inventory write-downs, which were reported in Cost of sales in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations, and $39 million which was reported as discontinued operations.  The remaining costs incurred of $215 million, including $158 million of severance costs, $35 million of exit costs, and $22 million of long-lived asset impairments, were reported as Restructuring costs and other in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations.  The severance and exit costs reserves require the outlay of cash, while long-lived asset impairments, accelerated depreciation and inventory write-downs represent non-cash items.

The 2012 severance costs related to the elimination of approximately 3,225 positions, including approximately 1,775 manufacturing/service, 1,050 administrative and 400 research and development positions.  The geographic composition of these positions includes approximately 1,925 in the United States and Canada, and 1,300 throughout the rest of the world.

The charges of $271 million recorded in 2012 included $20 million applicable to the Graphics, Entertainment and Commercial Films Segment, $93 million applicable to the Digital Printing and Enterprise Segment and $119 million that was applicable to manufacturing/service, research and development, and administrative functions, which are shared across all segments.  The remaining $39 million was applicable to discontinued operations.

As a result of these initiatives, severance payments were paid during periods through 2013 since, in many instances, the employees whose positions were eliminated can elect or are required to receive their payments over an extended period of time.  In addition, certain exit costs, such as long-term lease payments, will continue beyond 2013.

2013 Activity

Restructuring actions taken in 2013 were initiated to reduce Kodak’s cost structure as part of its commitment to drive sustainable profitability.  Actions included manufacturing capacity reductions in the U.S. and the U.K., the continued wind down of the consumer inkjet printer business, a workforce reduction in France, and various targeted reductions in service, sales, and other administrative functions.

As a result of these actions, for the four months ended December 31, 2013 Kodak recorded $17 million of charges reported as Restructuring costs and other in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations. For the eight months ended August 31, 2013, Kodak recorded $52 million of charges, including $4 million for accelerated depreciation and $2 million for inventory write-downs which were reported in Cost of sales, $43 million reported as Restructuring costs and other and $3 million which were reported as Discontinued operations in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations,  The severance and exit costs reserves require the outlay of cash, while long-lived asset impairments, accelerated depreciation and inventory write-downs represent non-cash items.

The 2013 severance costs related to the elimination of approximately 825 positions, including approximately 500 manufacturing/service, 300 administrative and 25 research and development positions.  The geographic composition of these positions included approximately 375 in the U.S. and Canada, and 450 throughout the rest of the world.

The charges of $17 million recorded for the four months ended December 31, 2013 included $1 million applicable to the Digital Printing and Enterprise Segment, $8 million applicable to the Graphics, Entertainment and Commercial Films Segment, and $8 million that was applicable to manufacturing, research and development, and administrative functions.  The charges of $52 million recorded for the eight months ended August 31, 2013 included $5 million applicable to the Digital Printing and Enterprise Segment, $22 million applicable to the Graphics, Entertainment and Commercial Films Segment, and $22 million that was applicable to manufacturing, research and development, and administrative functions and $3 million applicable to discontinued operations.

As a result of these initiatives, severance payments will be paid during periods through 2014 since, in many instances, the employees whose positions were eliminated can elect or are required to receive their payments over an extended period of time.  In addition, certain exit costs, such as long-term lease payments, will be paid over periods throughout 2014 and beyond.
