DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

Kodak’s operations are classified into three reportable segments: Print, Advanced Materials and Chemicals, and Brand. The balance of Kodak’s continuing operations, which do not meet the criteria of a reportable segment, are reported in All Other and primarily represent the Eastman Business Park ("EBP") operations.

Print

The Print segment is comprised of four lines of business: the Prepress Solutions business, the Prosper business, the Software business and the Electrophotographic Printing Solutions business. Print segment products include digital offset plate offerings and computer-to-plate (“CTP”) imaging solutions, high-quality digital printing solutions using electrically charged toner-based technology, production press systems, consumables (primarily ink), inkjet components, software and services.  The Print segment serves a variety of commercial industries, including commercial print, direct mail, book publishing, newspapers and magazines and packaging/labels. Print products are sold to customers through both a direct sales team as well as indirectly through dealers and channel partners. Key competitors are Fuji, EC03, HP, Canon, Ricoh and Screen. Products and services included in Kodak’s offerings are described below.

This segment is experiencing challenges from higher raw material and other supply chain costs, competitive pricing pressures and declines in volume. Refer to the Business Overview and Strategy section of Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for additional information on the opportunities and challenges related to the Print segment.
