    Kodak Alaris - sold

    Divisions can be subdivided and sold. I don't know if it's practical to move the film manufacturing portion. Maybe Kodak leaves that and moves the other Kodak products. Maybe they sell off the ownership and leave everything where it is and just continues production in all the same buildings...

    EK annual report for 2023 acknowledges a sale of about $85m worth of still photographic film to Kodak Alaris.

    Fuji Does Not Care about Film

    You don't know that and you will never provide any evidence for that. FYI, Fuji did sell their Kodak film at lower prices than Gold/Ultramax at times. So, obviously they can decide to be less horrible to consumers than Alaris. And if they are really feel they are price gouged by EK, they can...

    No, that reflects what @MattKing has been saying. A very thorough restructuring. It would mean either of two things: 1: Eastman Kodak would sell off its actual coating operations to Alaris. All of its coating operations (not related to photographic film, but the myriad other products they coat...

    ...of things that have nothing to do with photography, as well as products that have both photographic uses and non-photographic uses - Kodak Alaris would have to expand is marketing and distribution considerably if they were to take on those businesses. Second, Kodak Alaris has never had any...

    Kingswood stated strategy is mid level companies, but at less than a half a billion, with a partner or partners Eastman Kodak is within striking distance. So I guess time will tell. General Characteristics Investment size: $50M-150M+ (or greater with co-invest) Financial characteristics: at...

    As Eastman Kodak is selling it at higher prices to Fujifilm compared to their prices for Alaris, that is not surprising. The film revival was started by Fujifilm with instax. And it started in Asia already almost 20 years ago. And since that time instax instant film is the main driving force...

    Eastman would spin off just the film division. Regarding pensioners that's a real drag to be stuck with. How do you know that's still part of the deal? Is it possible that other arrangements were made when Kingswood bought the shares?

    Kingswood just received their third investment tranche of $1.5 billion from their investors. Buying just the film division of Eastman Kodak can't be that much if they could afford to buy Alaris.

    Also undeniable fact, Eastman Kodak produced Fuji 200 and 400 colour negative film in Europe is now priced above Kodak Alaris prices. Kodak Alaris is greedy (well, they are a business), but Fuji, in addition to not serving (not that they have to) the traditional photography community very well...

    ...Not necessarily lower taxes, when you factor in a bunch of other related factors. Most importantly though, it is really complex! Kodak Alaris will still have responsibilities for the pension obligations it owes to its post 2005 work force, including those who are still working, and the ones...

    ...Shanebrook. So I am very well informed about the topic. You are mixing things up. Please read my posting again. I have written about Kodak Alaris' pricing policy, not about Eastman Kodak. Yes, raw material prices have significantly increased. And new investments in the production...

    I did not read anything about particular assets or liabilities being separated from the entity as part of the transaction. As to the ideas about Alaris somehow absorbing EK's coating business with help from Kingswood: I think there are many strategic and practical reasons why that's out of the...

    Is the British pension fund removed from the Kodak Alaris corporation's responsibility?

    Would it be in the VC interest to own the film manufacturing part as well and would Eastman Kodak be interested in dumping its film production for the right price? ? AFter all, if the private investors want to expand the emulsions available, they would only have to depend on themselves rather...

    ...because I have made negative experiences concerning quality with PSI products in the past. And to quote film shops here in my area: Kodak Alaris had stopped the film revival by their greedy price policy. No double-digit growth anymore in film demand. I also know many photographers who have...

    yes, it is complex. and as Kodak Alaris was set up basically as a private company, (only shares hekd by benificiary pernsion fund) we do't know how it is organized. remember Kodak itself originally had a subsiduary in many countries, and the accounting profession finds a lot of work in getting...

    Exporting a corporation from one jurisdiction and continuing it into into another jurisdiction certainly happens, but the process isn't accomplished by buying it. It is accomplished by complying with a whole bunch of conditions that apply to such a transaction - both in the originating...

    actually, companies can jump to a different juridiction all the time. not on topic for alaris, but my Pension investments once included a Canadian Company by the name of "Great lakes Power" located in Gatineau Quebec. I still have shares in that but it is now Known as Brookfield Renewable...

    but is Kodak Alaris an US corporation, or a UK one? it is after all Kodak Alaris INC, not say LLC. it was originally owned by the Kodak Limited Pension plan, and when that organization asked for help from the UK pension board, that board took over the KA ownership. Like any asset that they...

    Eastman Kodak has exactly ONE machine that fills one very large building that does ALL the coating of every film that Kodak makes. Kodak Alaris is designed to be a marketing organization with the rights to buy Kodak Branded still film from Eastman Kodak.

    The financial statements of KA don't report the amount of film sold - they report revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. Corporations are entities created by statute. They only exist as artificial creations - their existence is purely a creation of statute, and their powers and...

    Does Eastman Kodak use the same coating line to coat products other than film? Alan Edward Klein has a good point. Now that Kodak Alaris has been sold with ownership reverting back to the U.S what if any of the bankruptcy conditions still apply? I assume that Kingswood would have figured all...

    Eastman might be willing to sell off its film production to the well-funded VC and say good riddance. I assume that Alaris never had the money to buy it. Now that would be interesting.

    Disregarding the rationale, can you answer a couple of questions for future analysis sdo we can tell how much Kodak film is sold using ALaris reporting requirements? When American corporations buy out British companies completely, how does the corporation stay British. Doesn't Alaris die? Why...

    Eastman Kodak is mostly a commercial printing related business - the stuff we are interested in here is an important but moderately small segment of its overall business.

    Well, on Shark Tank there have been deals where the plan was not to really expand a budding business to make money, but to exploit their processes and relationships to promote a totally different product to make money.

    Not sure what Alaris has that can be sold other than their exclusive rights to sell Kodak film. They have no plants or patents as far as I know. Basically, they're a distributor.
