2013 Activity The $17 million of charges for the four months ended December 31, 2013 were reported as Restructuring costs and other in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations. The $52 million of charges for the eight months ended August 31, 2013 includes $4 million for accelerated depreciation and $2 million for inventory write-downs which were reported in Cost of revenues, $43 million reported as Restructuring costs and other and $3 million which were reported as Earnings (loss) from discontinued operations in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations. 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. Severance payments for these initiatives were substantially completed in 2015. Certain exit costs, such as long-term lease payments, will continue beyond 2015. 2014 Activity The $61 million of charges for the year ended December 31, 2014 includes $2 million for accelerated depreciation which was reported in Cost of revenues and $59 million which was reported as Restructuring costs and other in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations. The 2014 severance costs related to the elimination of approximately 775 positions, including approximately 325 manufacturing/service, 350 administrative and 100 research and development positions. The geographic composition of these positions included approximately 425 in the U.S. and Canada, and 350 throughout the rest of the world. Severance payments for these initiatives will continue through 2016 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 2015. 2015 Activity Restructuring actions taken in 2015 were initiated to reduce Kodak’s cost structure as part of its commitment to drive sustainable profitability and included continued progress toward the Leeds plate manufacturing facility exit, a Kodak Technology Center workforce reduction, and various targeted reductions in service, sales, research and development and other administrative functions. As a result of these actions, for the year ended December 31, 2015 Kodak recorded $46 million of charges, including $8 million for accelerated depreciation which was reported in Cost of revenues and $38 million which was reported as Restructuring costs and other in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations. The 2015 severance costs related to the elimination of approximately 600 positions, including approximately 250 manufacturing/service, 250 administrative and 100 research and development positions. The geographic composition of these positions included approximately 275 in the U.S. and Canada, and 325 throughout the rest of the world. As a result of these initiatives, severance payments will continue through 2016 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 throughout 2016 and beyond. Leeds Plate Manufacturing Facility Exit On March 3, 2014, Kodak announced a plan to exit its prepress plate manufacturing facility located in Leeds, England. This decision was pursuant to Kodak’s initiative to consolidate manufacturing operations globally, and is expected to result in a more efficient delivery of its products and solutions. Kodak began the exit of the facility in the second quarter of 2014, and phased out production at the site in the third quarter of 2015 and expects to complete the exit of the facility by the second quarter of 2016. As a result of the decision, Kodak currently expects to incur total charges of $25 to $30 million, including approximately $10 million of charges related to separation benefits, $13 to $15 million of non-cash related charges for accelerated depreciation and asset write-offs, and $2 to $5 million in other cash related charges associated with this action. Kodak incurred severance charges of $7 million, long-lived asset impairment charges of $1 million, accelerated depreciation charges of $8 million and other exit costs of $1 million in the year ended December 31, 2015 under this program. On a cumulative basis as of December 31, 2015, Kodak has recorded severance charges of $10 million, long-lived asset impairment charges of $3 million, accelerated depreciation charges of $10 million, and other exit costs of $1 million.
