Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	BASIS OF PRESENTATION The consolidated interim financial statements are unaudited, and certain information and footnote disclosures related thereto normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Eastman Kodak Company (“EKC” or the “Company”) and all companies directly or indirectly controlled, either through majority ownership or otherwise (collectively, “Kodak”). The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year. These consolidated interim statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “2019 Form 10-K”).
Going Concern	GOING CONCERN The consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis of accounting, which assumes Kodak will continue to operate as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, Kodak had approximately $209 million and $233 million, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents. $62 million and $72 million were held in the United States (“U.S.”) as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and $147 million and $161 million were held outside the U.S. Cash balances held outside the U.S. are generally required to support local country operations and may have high tax costs or other limitations that delay the ability to repatriate, and therefore may not be readily available for transfer to other jurisdictions. Outstanding inter-company loans to the U.S. as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were $416 million and $408 million, respectively, which includes short-term intercompany loans from Kodak’s international finance center of $117 million and $110 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. In China, where approximately $88 million and $89 million of cash and cash equivalents was held as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, there are limitations related to net asset balances that may impact the ability to make cash available to other jurisdictions in the world. Kodak had a net decrease in cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash in assets held for sale of $49 million and $10 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and a net increase in cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash in assets held for sale of $23 million the year ended December 31, 2019. Kodak used cash of $41 million and $12 million in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and generated cash from operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2019 of $12 million. On May 12, 2020, a Chinese subsidiary of Kodak transferred approximately $70 million to a U.S. subsidiary of Kodak in anticipation of an inter-company transaction. U.S. GAAP requires an evaluation of whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. Initially, this evaluation does not consider the potential mitigating effect of management’s plans that have not been fully implemented. When substantial doubt exists, management evaluates the mitigating effect of its plans if it is probable that (1) the plans will be effectively implemented within one year after the date the financial statements are issued, and (2) when implemented, the plans will mitigate the relevant conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued or prior to the conditions or events that create the going concern risk. Kodak is facing liquidity challenges due to operating losses, low or negative cash flow from operations, collateral needs and restrictions on the movement of cash from China. Cash flow from operations in 2019 benefited from working capital improvements and individual transactions that occurred during the year. The Company’s 5.00% Secured Convertible Notes due 2021 (the “Convertible Notes”) mature on November 1, 2021 if not converted prior to then and the Company’s 5.50% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) must be redeemed on November 15, 2021 if not converted prior to then. Additionally, Kodak has significant cash requirements to fund ongoing operations, restructuring programs, pension and other postretirement obligations, and other obligations. Kodak’s plans to return to sustainable positive cash flow include growing revenues profitably, reducing operating expenses, continuing to simplify the organizational structure, generating cash from selling and leasing underutilized assets and paring investment in new technology by eliminating or delaying product development programs. Additionally, the Company looks to implement ways to reduce collateral needs in the U.S. while accessing available cash in Chinese subsidiaries. Kodak’s products are sold and serviced in numerous countries across the globe with more than half of sales generated outside the United States. Current global economic conditions are highly volatile due to the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in market size contractions in many countries due to economic slowdowns and government restrictions on movement. The economic uncertainties surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic are adding complexity to Kodak’s plans to return to sustainable positive cash flow. To mitigate the economic impacts of the pandemic Kodak is employing temporary furloughs and pay reductions, scaling manufacturing volumes due to expectations of reduced demand and delaying an increased number of product development programs. The recent trend of negative operating cash flow, maturity and redemption dates in 2021 for the Convertible Notes and Series A Preferred Stock, increased challenges in managing cash during the COVID-19 pandemic and general lack of certainty regarding the return to positive cash flow raise substantial doubt about Kodak’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Reclassifications	RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period classification due to Kodak’s new organization structure as of January 2020. Refer to Note 22, “Segment Information” for additional information.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In November 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”)2018-18, Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808): Clarifying the Interaction between Topic 808 and Topic 606. This guidance amended Topic 808 and Topic 606 to clarify that transactions in a collaborative arrangement should be accounted for under Topic 606 when the counterparty is a customer for a distinct good or service (i.e., unit of account). The amendments preclude an entity from presenting consideration from a transaction in a collaborative arrangement as revenue from contracts with customers if the counterparty is not a customer for that transaction. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019 (January 1, 2020 for Kodak). The amendments should be applied retrospectively to the date of initial application of Topic 606. Kodak adopted this ASU on January 1, 2020, and it did not have any impact on Kodak’s consolidated financial statements. In September 2018 the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which amends the disclosure requirements in Topic 820 by adding, changing, or removing certain disclosures about recurring or nonrecurring fair value measurements. The additional and/or modified disclosures relate primarily to Level 3 fair value measurements while removing certain disclosures related to transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The ASU is effective retrospectively, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 (January 1, 2020 for Kodak) and interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities are permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures but can delay adoption of the new disclosures until their effective date. Kodak retrospectively early adopted the provisions of the ASU that removed or modified disclosures in the fourth quarter of 2018 and prospectively adopted the provisions related to new disclosures January 1, 2020. The standard addresses disclosures only and did not have an impact on Kodak’s consolidated financial statements. In September 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation—Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans—General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans, which amends the disclosure requirements in ASC 715-20 by adding, clarifying, or removing certain disclosures. ASU 2018-14 requires all entities to disclose (1) the weighted average interest crediting rates for cash balance plans and other plans with promised interest crediting rates, and (2) an explanation of the reasons for significant gains and losses related to changes in the benefit obligation for the period. The ASU also clarifies certain disclosure requirements for entities with two or more defined benefit pension plans when aggregate disclosures are presented. The ASU removes other disclosures from the existing guidance, such as the requirement to disclose the effects of a one-percentage-point change in the assumed health care cost trend rates. The ASU is effective retrospectively for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020 (the year ended December 31, 2020 for Kodak). Kodak adopted this ASU on January 1, 2020. The standard addresses disclosures only and did not have an impact on Kodak’s consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract, which addresses how a customer should account for the costs of implementing a cloud computing service arrangement (also referred to as a “hosting arrangement”). Under ASU 2018-15, entities should account for costs associated with implementing a cloud computing arrangement that is considered a service contract in the same way as implementation costs associated with a software license; implementation costs incurred in the application development stage, such as costs for the cloud computing arrangement’s integration with on-premise software, coding, and configuration or customization, should be capitalized and amortized over the term of the cloud computing arrangement, including periods covered by certain renewal options. The ASU is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 (January 1, 2020 for Kodak) including interim periods within those fiscal years. The ASU should be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. Kodak adopted this ASU prospectively on January 1, 2020, and it did not have any impact on Kodak’s consolidated financial statements. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” which provides optional relief through specific exceptions and practical expedients for transitioning away from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. The relief generally applies to eligible modifications of contractual terms that change (or have the potential to change) the amount or timing of contractual cash flows related to replacement of a reference rate. The relief allows such modifications to be accounted for as continuations of existing contracts without additional analysis. The optional relief is available from March 2020 through December 31, 2022. Kodak is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” which removes certain exceptions related to intra-period tax allocations and deferred tax accounting on outside basis differences in foreign subsidiaries and equity method investments. Additionally, it provides other simplifying measures for the accounting for income taxes. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 (January 1, 2022 for Kodak) with early adoption permitted. Kodak is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 (as amended by ASUs 2018-19, 2019-04, 2019-05, 2020-02 and 2020-03) requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. In addition, the ASU requires credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities to be recorded through an allowance for credit losses. The amendments in this ASU broaden the information that an entity must consider in developing its expected credit loss estimate for assets measured either collectively or individually. The ASU is effective for smaller reporting companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022, (January 1, 2023 for Kodak). Early adoption is permitted. Kodak is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU.

Going Concern

GOING CONCERN

The consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis of accounting, which assumes Kodak will continue to operate as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, Kodak had approximately $209 million and $233 million, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents. $62 million and $72 million were held in the United States (“U.S.”) as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and $147 million and $161 million were held outside the U.S. Cash balances held outside the U.S. are generally required to support local country operations and may have high tax costs or other limitations that delay the ability to repatriate, and therefore may not be readily available for transfer to other jurisdictions.

Kodak used cash of $41 million and $12 million in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and generated cash from operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2019 of $12 million. On May 12, 2020, a Chinese subsidiary of Kodak transferred approximately $70 million to a U.S. subsidiary of Kodak in anticipation of an inter-company transaction.

U.S. GAAP requires an evaluation of whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. Initially, this evaluation does not consider the potential mitigating effect of management’s plans that have not been fully implemented.

Kodak is facing liquidity challenges due to operating losses, low or negative cash flow from operations, collateral needs and restrictions on the movement of cash from China. Cash flow from operations in 2019 benefited from working capital improvements and individual transactions that occurred during the year.

The recent trend of negative operating cash flow, maturity and redemption dates in 2021 for the Convertible Notes and Series A Preferred Stock, increased challenges in managing cash during the COVID-19 pandemic and general lack of certainty regarding the return to positive cash flow raise substantial doubt about Kodak’s ability to continue as a going concern.
