Kodak publishes 2013-17 forecast

Kodak has published its financial projections for the next five years in a presentation for creditors as part of its Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings.

The presentation is based on Kodak's preliminary, unaudited 2012 results and as such any changes in those results, which are not included in the document, could affect Kodak's 2013-17 projections.

For the year ending 31 December 2013, Kodak is projecting an EBITDA of $167m on net sales of $2.5bn, rising to an EBITDA of $494m on net sales of $3.2bn by 2017.

Kodak's projected sales for 2014 through 2016 are $2.6bn, $2.7bn and $2.9bn, while its projected EBITDA for the same years has been as $209m, $287m and $360m.

The financial projections reflect the company's Commercial Imaging business, including graphics, entertainment and commercial film (GECF), digital printing and enterprise (DP&E), and intellectual property and brand licensing/corporate (Other).
