Summary Box: Kodak posts 2Q loss

Posted: Updated:
By The Associated Press

RESULTS: Eastman Kodak Co. posted a second-quarter loss of $168 million, or 63 cents per share, compared with a loss of $189 million, or 70 cents a share, in the recession-mired April-June period of 2009. Sales dipped 11 percent to $1.57 billion.

REASONS: The remade picture-taking pioneer benefited particularly from a 50 percent jump in revenue from digital inkjet home printers and ink cartridges. But its traditional film business took a tumble, with earnings from operations sliding 43 percent to $29 million.

OUTLOOK: Kodak reaffirmed its 2010 target of $350 million to $450 million in operating earnings on sales ranging from $7.5 billion to $7.7 billion.
