Kula and her fiance founded Alsllng Sport Horses, marie dejesus staff photographer MATTHEW DANEMAN Staff writer Cutting costs in hopes of returning to profitability has become a way of life at Eastman Kodak Co. The first months in bankruptcy for the printing and imaging company were no different. But its moves including deep cuts to the worldwide workforce have yet to improve its struggling finances.

Kodak released first-quarter results Friday, and they showed no reversal of the long-running trends of sliding sales and gaping losses. The company's total revenue of $965 million was down 27 percent from the first quarter of 2011. According to Kodak, that drop comes from the ongoing evaporation of its traditional film-based business, declining digital camera and pocket video camera sales as Kodak exits that line of business, and a one-time $61 million revenue cut regarding a tax refund. The company lost $366 million, or $1.35 per share, during the quarter, compared with a loss of $249 million, or 91 cents, during the first quarter of 2011.
