    Yes, I could speculate on that topic, but I will not. I don't think it would be helpful in any way. Only Eastman Kodak and Kodak Alaris know the exact terms of their contract. We have to accept that. Best regards, Henning

    Anybody buying color sheet film these days?

    If hospitals handled blood supply like that, we'd be in real trouble. "Nurse, give a pint of A+, quick." "Sorry Doctor. We're fresh out. Would B- three weeks old be OK?"

    B&H have to buy from a distributor, including Keith Canham. The distributors probably only order from Kodak Alaris when they have orders in hand. Kodak Alaris probably only orders from Eastman Kodak when they have orders in hand. Eastman Kodak probably only cuts and finishes (edge notches and...

    Kodak Alaris was assigned the marketing and distribution rights for the Kodak branded photochemical business. They owned those rights. Sino Promise bought those rights from Kodak Alaris. They now own those rights. If you own those rights, you own the right to not produce the product. What is...

    Kodak Financial Situation

    Since Kodak Alaris film sales of $30 million to lower level distributors would include the cost of their film purchases from Eastman Kodak, that has to make Kodak sales to Alaris something less than $30 million, what, $15 million, let's say. That's a small portion of the $75 million in total...

    Like most (all?) private corporations in the UK, Kodak Alaris are required to publicly report their financial statements, and they do. The numbers in that video are interesting, because the financial statements of both KA and EK don't break out the numbers for film. Of course, other than for...

    Kodak Financial Situation

    ...with the video is that, to the best of my knowledge, Eastman Kodak doesn't share what portion of the Advanced Materials and Chemicals revenue relates to film or photography. Same applies to Kodak Alaris and film, although the "Kodak Moment" segment is, at least, all about photography.

    Well I haven’t bothered to find the report so it was an honest question. Would you happen to have a link to the report? Edit. Did a bit of searching. The numbers seems completely intractable to extract. I’d need a screen-dump with an arrow to the number(s).

    Maybe I misunderstood your question, but KA numbers are included in EK's reporting. Alaris is just a distributor, no different from Lomography or Cinestill. They all sell film manufactured by Eastman Kodak.

    Interesting and well-done video on the background and current situation of Kodak. Apparently, they do $75 million in film sales just a small part of their overall sales. This amount does not include Alaris sales who distribute Eastman Kodak film.

    Thank you!!! There are some posters that bring up that subject on 15 second centers and yet they never worked for Kodak or any film company.

    Folks - can we please leave the subject of pensions. The fact that a film distribution company called Kodak Alaris is merely one of the investments of a biggish private pension plan in the UK has nothing to do with the availability of film.

    Kodak committed to making film "as long as there's demand"

    Kodak Ltd. was the UK subsidiary of Eastman Kodak, and it was, relatively speaking, huge! It is gone. The only remnant is a relatively large pension fund, which despite being quite large, wasn't large enough to pay the actuarially projected future obligations of the former employees of Kodak...

    It;s still all very coinfusing. Who is Kodak Ltd. How does Kodak Ltd. make money to pay the pensions of the old Alaris retirees? what happens if there is a shortfall in pension payments to the old retirees and Alaris has to make up the difference? Wouldn't a new buyer of Alaris be responsible?

    ...Kodak, but has no other direct connection with any of the Kodaks, past or present. To help, I'll refer to it as Alaris from now on. Kodak Alaris happens to be owned - by way of shareholding - by what was before and now is in effect a pension plan. Kodak Alaris has no connection with either...

    Frankly, Matt, I really don't understand the arrangement as you described it. I'm sure that's my problem, not yours. My point was if Kodak Alaris's profits provide for pension payments, whether for new or the original employees and retirees, any purchaser of Alaris would take on the financial...

    Any pension entitlements that Kodak Alaris employees have as a result of their employment with Kodak Alaris are distinct and separate from any pension entitlements that any of those people may have had as Kodak Ltd. employees. With the bankruptcy, all pension contributions to the old Kodak Ltd...

    Doesn't Kodak Alaris have a relationship with that pension fund? It seems that the purchaser of Kodak Alaris would then have to take on the responsibilities they have with the Alaris retirees. No?

    Kodak committed to making film "as long as there's demand"

    No - the Alaris retirees are Alaris'/the Kodak Limited/UK pension authority's responsibility. That was the term of the bankruptcy settlement. There still is a huge amount of money in that subsumed fund - just not enough, if the actuarial projections are accurate. Those pesky Kodak retirees...

    If Fuji don't restart in-house production of colour negative film I shall eat one of my most smelly socks. But this announcement from Kodak is probably about as good as it can be. Even the most fervent doubters can rest easy for a few years, knowing Kodak films aren't going to disappear...

    Kodak Alaris sold the photo-chemical business to Sino-Promise Holdings 3.5 years ago. There is product around that has the pre-2019 MSDS, and Sino Promise/post-2020 labelling. Some of that Sino Promise labelling says "Made in EU" and some of it says "Made in China". The variation in...

    Wasn't Alaris up for sale? Or did they work something out to stay in the business? I would have thought Kodak would have re- absorbed Alaris back into the main company.

    The only thing I know was that the old contract had to be renegotiated because Covid resulted in Kodak Alaris being unable to fulfill its terms. So I'm glad that KA was able to right the ship enough to justify another 5 years.
