On May 7, 2015, Eastman Kodak Company (the “Company”) issued a press release describing its first quarter 2015 financial results.  A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit (99.1) to this report.

Within the Company’s press release, reference is made to certain non-GAAP financial measures of Operational EBITDA, improvement in Operational EBITDA excluding the negative impacts of currency exchange on gross profit and non-recurring intellectual property revenue, and improvement in corporate cost structure (Operational Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) expenses and Operational Research and Development (“R&D”) expenses).

Accordingly they are provided with the belief that this information will assist in properly assessing the underlying performance of the Company. 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. In addition to the reason described above, the Company’s management believes that the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures allows the user of the information to assess the Company’s financial results on a more comparable basis.
