[1] Sales are reported in the geographic area in which they originate. No non-U.S. country generated more than 10% of net sales in the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014.

[2] Composed of interest cost, expected return on plan assets, amortization of actuarial gains and losses, and curtailments and settlement components of pension and other postretirement benefit expenses.

[3] Primarily consists of costs for shared resources allocated to the Prosper Enterprise Inkjet business discontinued operation in the prior year periods which are now included in the results of continuing operations and an estimate of costs for shared resources which would have been allocated to the Prosper Enterprise Inkjet business discontinued operation in the current year period had the business remained in continuing operations.

[4] In the fourth quarter of 2015, Kodak changed the timing of when affected U.S. employees earn their vacation benefits, which reduced Kodak’s obligation to employees and the related accrual by $17 million as of December 31, 2015. The reduction in the accrual impacted gross profit by approximately $9 million, SG&A by approximately $5 million, R&D by approximately $2 million, and discontinued operations by $1 million.

[5] Consulting and other costs are primarily related to professional services provided for corporate strategic initiatives in 2016 and 2015. The costs in 2014 primarily represent the cost of AlixPartners filling interim executive positions which are not captured within “Reorganization items, net” as well as consulting services provided by former executives during transitional periods.

[6] Consists of third party costs such as security, maintenance, and utilities required to maintain land and buildings in certain locations not used in any Kodak operations.

[7] Consists of manufacturing costs originally planned to be absorbed by silver metal mesh touch screen production that are now excluded from the measure of segment profit and loss.

[8] In 2015 a $3 million gain was recognized related to assets that were acquired for no monetary consideration as a part of the termination of the relationship with Unipixel. The gain was reported in Other operating (income) expense, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Other operating (income) expense, net is typically excluded from the segment measure. However, this particular gain was included in the Micro 3D Printing and Packaging segment’s earnings in 2015.

[9] As reported in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
