NOTE 9: INCOME TAXES

Kodak’s income tax provision and effective tax rate were as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
(in millions)	2016			2015
Earnings (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes	$	2		$	(32	)
Effective tax rate		300.0	%		-15.6	%
Provision for income taxes		6			5
Provision (benefit) for income taxes @ 35%		1			(11	)
Difference between tax at effective vs. statutory rate	$	5		$	16

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the difference between the Company’s recorded provision and the provision that would result from applying the U.S. statutory rate of 35.0% is primarily attributable to: (1) losses generated within the U.S. for which no benefit was recognized, offset by income in certain jurisdictions outside the U.S. for which no provision was recognized due to management’s conclusion that it was more likely than not that the tax benefits would not be realized, (2) the results from operations in jurisdictions outside the U.S., and (3) changes in audit reserves.

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the difference between the Company’s recorded provision and the benefit that would result from applying the U.S. statutory rate of 35.0% is primarily attributable to: (1) losses generated within the U.S. and certain jurisdictions outside the U.S. for which no benefit was recognized due to management’s conclusion that it was more likely than not that the tax benefits would not be realized and (2) changes in audit reserves.
