NOTE 14:  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

Kodak, as a result of its global operating and financing activities, is exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, which may adversely affect its results of operations and financial position.  Kodak manages such exposures, in part, with derivative financial instruments.  Foreign currency forward contracts are used to mitigate currency risk related to foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities, as well as forecasted foreign currency denominated intercompany assets.  Kodak’s exposure to changes in interest rates results from its investing and borrowing activities used to meet its liquidity needs.  Kodak does not utilize financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.

Kodak’s foreign currency forward contracts are not designated as hedges and are marked to market through net earnings (loss) at the same time that the exposed assets and liabilities are re-measured through net earnings (loss) (both in Other charges, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations).  The notional amount of such contracts open at December 31, 2019 and 2018 was approximately $332 million and $415 million, respectively.  The majority of the contracts of this type held by Kodak at December 31, 2019 and 2018 were denominated in euros, Japanese yen, Chinese renminbi and Swiss francs.  The net effect of foreign currency forward contracts in the results of operations is shown in the following table:

Kodak had no derivatives designated as hedging instruments for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

Kodak’s derivative counterparties are high-quality investment or commercial banks with significant experience with such instruments.  Kodak manages exposure to counterparty credit risk by requiring specific minimum credit standards and diversification of counterparties.  Kodak has procedures to monitor the credit exposure amounts.  The maximum credit exposure at December 31, 2019 was not significant to Kodak.

In the event of a default under the Company’s ABL Credit Agreement, or a default under any derivative contract or similar obligation of Kodak, subject to certain minimum thresholds, the derivative counterparties would have the right, although not the obligation, to require immediate settlement of some or all open derivative contracts at their then-current fair value, but with liability positions netted against asset positions with the same counterparty.

 

As discussed in Note 9, “Debt and Finance Leases”, the Company concluded that the Convertible Notes are considered more akin to a debt-type instrument and that the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded conversion features and term extension option were not considered clearly and closely related to the Convertible Notes.  The embedded conversion features not considered clearly and closely related are the conversion at the option of the holder (“Optional Conversion”) and the conversion in the event of a fundamental change or reorganization (“Fundamental Change or Reorganization Conversion”). Accordingly, these embedded conversion features and term extension option were bifurcated from the Convertible Notes and separately accounted for on a combined basis as a single derivative asset or liability.  The derivative is in a liability position at December 31, 2019 and is reported in Other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.  The derivative is being accounted for at fair value with changes in fair value being reported in Other charges, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

 

As discussed in Note 10, “Redeemable, Convertible, Series A Preferred Stock”, Kodak concluded that the Series A Preferred Stock is considered more akin to a debt-type instrument and that the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded conversion features, except where the conversion price was increased to the liquidation preference, were not considered clearly and closely related to the Series A Preferred Stock.  The embedded conversion features not considered clearly and closely related are the conversion at the option of the holder; the ability of Kodak to automatically convert the stock after the second anniversary of issuance and the conversion in the event of a fundamental change or reorganization. Accordingly, these embedded conversion features were bifurcated from the Series A Preferred Stock and separately accounted for on a combined basis as a single derivative asset or liability which is reported in Other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as of December 31, 2019 and Other long-term assets in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as of December 31, 2018.  The derivative is being accounted for at fair value with changes in fair value being reported in Other charges, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

 

Fair Value

Fair values of Kodak’s foreign currency forward contracts are determined using observable inputs (Level 2 fair value measurements) and are based on the present value of expected future cash flows (an income approach valuation technique) considering the risks involved and using discount rates appropriate for the duration of the contracts.  The gross fair value of foreign currency forward contracts in an asset position are reported in Other current assets in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and the gross fair value of foreign currency contracts in a liability position are reported in Other current liabilities.  The gross fair value of foreign currency forward contracts in an asset position as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $1 million and $3 million, respectively. The gross fair value of the foreign currency forward contracts in a liability position as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 were $0 million and $1 million, respectively.

 

The fair value of the embedded conversion features and term extension option derivatives are calculated using unobservable inputs (Level 3 fair measurements).  The value of the Optional Conversion feature associated with both the Convertible Notes and Series A Preferred Stock is calculated using a binomial lattice model.  The value of the term extension option reflects the probability weighted average value of the Convertible Notes using the original maturity date and a hypothetical extended maturity date, with all other contractual terms unchanged.  The following tables present the key inputs in the determination of fair value for the embedded conversion features and termination option derivatives.

The Fundamental Change and Reorganization Conversion values at issuance were calculated as the difference between the total value of the Convertible Notes or Series A Preferred Stock, as applicable, and the sum of the net present value of the cash flows if the Convertible Notes are repaid at their maturity or the Series A Preferred Stock is redeemed on its fifth anniversary and the values of the other embedded derivatives. The Fundamental Change and Reorganization Conversion value reduces the value of the embedded conversion features and term extension option derivative liability.  Other than events which alter the likelihood of a fundamental change or reorganization event, the value of the Fundamental Change and Reorganization Conversion reflect the value as of the issuance date, amortized for the passage of time.  The Fundamental Change and Reorganization Conversion value for the Series A Preferred Stock exceeded the value of the embedded conversion features derivative liability at December 31, 2018 resulting in the derivative being reported as an asset.

 

The fair values of long-term borrowings were $111 million and $5 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

 

Fair values of long-term borrowings (Level 2 fair value measurements) are determined by reference to quoted market prices, if available, or by pricing models based on the value of related cash flows discounted at current market interest rates.  At December 31, 2018, the fair value of current portion of long-term borrowings was also determined by reference to quoted market prices of similar instruments, if available, or by pricing models based on the value of related cash flows discounted at current market interest rates.  The fair value of the current portion of long-term borrowings was $378 million at December 31, 2018.

 

Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized based on the actual date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer.  There were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the year ended December 31, 2019.

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash approximate their fair values.  In addition, the fair value of the current portion of long-term borrowings approximated its fair value at December 31, 2019.
