(FORTUNE Magazine) – Size of revenues is the measure we use to rank the FORTUNE 500, but it's not the only one that counts. That's why we also rate the 500 on 12 other performance criteria. Spinoffs and mergers accounted for many of the 500's top revenue and profit gains in 1998, but not at Eastman Kodak, the year's comeback kid. Profits there increased 27,700%, a rebound from a 1997 base shriveled by $1.7 billion in charges and write-offs. The largest absolute profits went to stalwarts like GE and IBM, which notched record earnings the old-fashioned way--by building on their dominance in high-value-added lines of business.
