 and Creo acquisitions, as well as the exclusion of $12 million of in-process research and development credits. On this basis, digital earnings in the third quarter were $42 million, and they were greatly improved in September versus the first two months of the quarter. This supports the company's previously expressed view that the bulk of Kodak's digital earnings in 2005 will be generated in the last four months of the year.

Restructuring Costs and Other

Cost Reduction Plans:

On July July: see month.  20, 2005, Kodak announced that as part of its effort to accelerate its digital transformation, the Company would extend the restructuring program originally announced in January January: see month.  2004 to be largely completed by the middle of 2007. The extension of the January 2004 program includes two major additional initiatives:

--Reducing general and administrative costs, in part by consolidating functions and standardizing business processes. This will result in an incremental Additional or increased growth, bulk, quantity, number, or value; enlarged.

Incremental cost is additional or increased cost of an item or service apart from its actual cost.
 employment reduction totaling approximately 2,300 positions.

--Accelerating the current restructuring of the traditional manufacturing asset base. At the conclusion of this restructuring, and including the impact of the change in useful lives of manufacturing assets, the company expects that its traditional asset base will total approximately $1 billion, a reduction of 65 percent from the January 2004 level. The incremental employment reduction specific to manufacturing will be approximately 7,000 positions.

Together, these additional actions will generate incremental annual savings of approximately $800 million. The incremental cash charges associated with these actions will be approximately $470 million.

Total cost reduction actions will bring the total worldwide employment reduction to a range of 22,500 to 25,000 by mid-year 2007. The charges associated with the additional moves will increase the total to a range of $2.7 billion to $3 billion, up from $1.3 billion to $1.7 billion announced in January 2004. The annual savings from the new actions will increase the total to a range of $1.6 billion to $1.8 billion, up from $800 million to $1 billion announced in January 2004.

In the third quarter, Kodak implemented cost reduction actions resulting in pre-tax pre-tax adjanterior al impuesto

EFO for the third quarter of 2005 was negative $103 million as compared with positive $3 million for the third quarter of 2004, representing a decrease of $106 million. EFO as a percentage of sales decreased from less than one percent in the third quarter of 2004 to negative 3% in the current quarter. The decrease in earnings from operations is attributable to the reasons indicated above.

Digital Earnings:

Third quarter digital earnings were $10 million, which includes a favorable impact of $18 million in the current quarter for legacy cost allocation The apportionment or designation of an item for a specific purpose or to a particular place.

In the law of trusts, the allocation of cash dividends earned by a stock that makes up the principal of a trust for a beneficiary usually means that the dividends will be treated as
 changes and a charge of approximately $5 million for the change in useful asset lives. To calculate a common basis of comparison with the company's full year digital earnings projection, as adjusted for the two accounting changes cited, requires (1) the exclusion of $44 million of costs associated with Creo's operating results and purchase accounting for the KPG and Creo acquisitions and (2) the exclusion of in-process R&D credits of $12 million, which together net to $32 million. On this basis, digital earnings were $42 million in the current quarter.

Below EFO:

Interest expense for the third quarter of 2005 was $57 million as compared with $43 million for the prior year quarter, representing an increase of $14 million, or 33%.

Higher interest expense is a result of increased levels of debt associated with acquisitions.

The "Other Income/(Charges)" component includes investment income, income and losses from equity investments, gains and losses on the sales of assets and investments, and foreign exchange gains and losses. Other Charges for the current quarter were $15 million as compared with Other Income of $24 million for the third quarter of 2004. The current quarter included charges/credits relating to the following items:

--A $21 million gain on the sale of property

Offset by:

--A charge of $21 million relating to an asset impairment Impairment

1. A reduction in a company's stated capital.

2. The total capital that is less than the par value of the company's capital stock.

Notes:
1. This is usually reduced because of poorly estimated losses or gains.

2.


The largest contributor to the increase in other charges for the current quarter is the move of KPG equity income to the Graphic Communications Group as a result of Kodak's purchase of KPG.

Corporate Tax Rate:

The Company's estimated annual effective tax rate from continuing operations increased from 17% for the prior year third quarter to 34% for the third quarter of 2005. This increase is primarily attributable to the inability to benefit losses in the U.S. as a result of the decision to record a valuation allowance ed against net U.S. deferred tax assets.

During the third quarter of 2005, the Company recorded a tax provision from continuing operations of $855 million on a pre-tax loss of $175 million. The tax provision of $855 million for the quarter differs from the tax benefit of $59 million that results from applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to the pre-tax loss of $175 million due to (1) the $900 million tax provision recorded related to the write-down of the net deferred tax assets in the U.S. resulting from the Company's plan to accelerate restructuring of its traditional business combined with current and anticipated losses in the U.S. with respect to such operations, and (2) a combination of net discrete A component or device that is separate and distinct and treated as a singular unit.  period charges that were not benefited for tax in the U.S. and charges taxed in jurisdictions that, when aggregated, have tax rates lower than the estimated annual effective tax rate from continuing operations. The net discrete period tax charges are primarily attributable to the creation of the valuation allowance against U.S. deferred tax assets resulting from discrete charges during 2005 including restructuring and other actions related to the decline of the traditional business.

During the third quarter of 2004, the Company recorded a tax benefit from continuing operations of $28 million on a pre-tax loss of $16 million. The tax benefit of $28 million for the quarter differs from the tax benefit of $3 million that results from applying the estimated annual effective tax rate of 17% to the pre-tax loss of $16 million due to discrete period charges which are taxed in jurisdictions that, when aggregated, have tax rates greater than the estimated annual effective tax rate from continuing operations.

Revenues:

Net worldwide sales for the Graphic Communications segment were $886 million for the third quarter of 2005 as compared with $344 million for the prior year quarter, representing an increase of $542 million, or 158%. The increase in net sales was primarily due to the completion of the KPG and Creo acquisitions.

Net sales in the U.S. were $331 million for the current year quarter as compared with $158 million for the prior year quarter, representing an increase of $173 million, or 109%.

Net sales outside the U.S. were $555 million in the third quarter of 2005 as compared with $186 million for the prior year quarter, representing an increase of $369 million or 198%.

Digital Products and Services Revenues:

The Graphic Communications segment digital product sales for the current quarter were $737 million versus $278 million for the prior year quarter, an increase of 165%, primarily related to the acquisitions of KPG and Creo. These digital sales are comprised of KPG digital revenues, NexPress Solutions, a producer of digital color and black and white printing solutions, Creo, a supplier of prepress systems, Kodak Versamark, a provider of continuous inkjet technology, document scanners An optical scanner geared to office documents rather than photographs. Also called "office scanners," "enterprise scanners" and "business scanners," desktop models have automatic document feeders that can scan in the range of approximately 15 to 100 pages per minute. , Encad, a maker of wide format inkjet printers A printer that propels droplets of ink directly onto the medium. Today, almost all inkjet printers produce color. Low-end inkjets use three ink colors (cyan, magenta and yellow), but produce a composite black that is often muddy. , and service and support.

Net worldwide sales for NexPress color and black and white products increased 49% from the prior year quarter, driven by strong volume increases partially offset by unfavorable price/mix. The installed base of digital production color presses continues to grow and increases in customer average monthly page volumes are leading to higher consumables revenue. NexPress black & white digital equipment and consumables also saw strong revenue growth in the quarter.

Kodak Versamark sales decreased 4% in the current quarter as compared with the third quarter of 2004, due to timing of product shipments.

Traditional Products and Services Revenues:

Segment traditional product sales for the current quarter are $149 million versus $66 million for the third quarter of 2004, an increase of 126%, primarily due to the KPG acquisition. These traditional sales are comprised of the sales of Kodak traditional graphics products, KPG's analog plates and films, and microfilm A continuous film strip that holds several thousand miniaturized document pages.

Gross Profit:

Gross profit for the Graphic Communications segment was $233 million for the third quarter of 2005 as compared with $94 million in the prior year quarter, representing an increase of $139 million, or 148%. The gross profit margin was 26.3% in the current quarter as compared with 27.3% in the prior year quarter. The decrease in the gross profit margin of 1.0 percentage point was primarily attributable to:

--Acquisitions: Creo and KPG increased gross profit margins by approximately 3.1 percentage points.

--Manufacturing Cost: Manufacturing costs negatively impacted gross profit margins by approximately 4.4 percentage points primarily related to the impacts of purchase accounting.

--Exchange: Favorable exchange added 0.1 percentage points to the gross profit margin.

SG&A:

SG&A expenses for the Graphic Communications segment increased $82 million, or 106%, from $77 million in the third quarter of 2004 to $159 million for the current quarter, and decreased as a percentage of sales from 22% to 18%. The decrease in SG&A percentage is primarily attributable to the acquisitions of KPG and Creo, which have lower SG&A as a percent of sales.

R&D:

R&D costs increased $25 million, from $34 million in the third quarter of 2004 to $59 million in the current quarter and decreased as a percentage of sales from 10% for the third quarter of 2004 to 7% for the current quarter. The absolute dollar increase in R&D spending is primarily driven by increased R&D costs associated with acquired businesses, partially offset by a $12 million purchase accounting credit relating to in-process R&D charges originally recorded in the second quarter of 2005 in conjunction conjunction, in astronomy

Balance Sheet:

Cash Flow:

Net cash (used in) provided by continuing operations relating to operating activities, investing activities and financing activities, as determined under U.S. GAAP in the third quarter of 2005 was $370 million, ($81) million and ($232) million, respectively.

Kodak's definition of free cash flow equals net cash provided by continuing operations relating to operating activities less additions to properties. Kodak's definition of operating cash flow Operating cash flow

Earnings before depreciation minus taxes. Measures the cash generated from operations, not counting capital spending or working capital requirements.
 equals free cash flow plus proceeds from sales of assets plus distributions from unconsolidated affiliates minus investments in unconsolidated affiliates minus acquisitions minus debt assumed through acquisitions minus dividends. Investable cash flow is operating cash flow excluding acquisitions and debt assumed in acquisitions.

During the third quarter, operating cash flow from continuing operations was $216 million, a $18 million change versus $234 million in the year ago quarter driven primarily by an increase in cash payments associated with restructuring.

Investable cash flow was $216 million, $41 million lower than the $257 million in the third quarter of 2004. Kodak remains committed to achieve targeted investable cash flow for the year at the lower end of the $400 million to $600 million range, as outlined on September 28th at the Company's New York New York, state, United States

Inventory:

Kodak's inventories of $1.657 billion (after LIFO (Last In-First Out) A queueing method in which the next item to be retrieved is the item most recently placed in the queue. Contrast with FIFO.

Kodak defines inventory turns as 12 months COGS divided by four-quarter average inventory before the LIFO reserve. Inventory turns from continuing operations were 5.6, which is 0.1 lower than a year ago and 0.1 lower quarter sequentially.

Including the impact of the LIFO reserve and using COGS as reported on a GAAP basis, DSI from continuing operations of 51 days increased by 2 days from the third quarter of 2004 and flat quarter sequentially. Inventory turns from continuing operations of 7.2 were 0.2 lower than a year ago and flat quarter sequentially.

Debt:

Debt increased $1.2 billion from the year-end level to $3.563 billion, reflecting acquisitions, and the company held $610 million in cash on its balance sheet at the end of the quarter, down from $1.255 billion at the end of 2004. Quarter sequentially, debt decreased by $158 million to $3.563 billion and cash increased by $57 million to $610 million.

Equity was $2.326 billion and the debt to total capital ratio was 60.5%, reflecting an increase of 7.0 percentage points quarter sequentially and an increase of 18.9 percentage points year over year. The increase is driven primarily by the debt associated with the acquisitions of KPG and Creo, and also by the decrease in equity resulting from year-to-date Year-to-date (YTD)

Therefore, the sum of the operational and reportable exchange impacts increased earnings in the quarter by $0.08 per share.

Silver:

During the third quarter, the impact of high silver prices was partially offset by the effect of favorable foreign exchange.
