Is Kodak Okay?
Film manufacturer Eastman Kodak is hanging on by a thread in 2022. Every year Kodak has to put out an annual report for shareholders that goes into the microscopic details about the company's revenue, assets, liabilities, and more. Here's how much money Kodak made in 2022 from the sales of film, branding, printing, and how the company is holding on after bankruptcy.
*Correction: Consumer film production (the film sold to Kodak Alaris) accounted for just $75 million, or a grand total of 6% of Eastman Kodak's revenue last year, with a 15 million dollar increase in those profits directly attributed to "improved" pricing. Film produced for cinema, and other manufacturers like CineStill, Lomography, and other manufacturers that resell film accounted accounted for $105 million of Kodak's total net sales. In total, film sold accounted for $180 million, or 15% of Kodak's bottom line.
