Corning Reports First-Quarter 2017 Financial Results

Company achieves year-over-year growth across all businesses

Strategy and Capital Allocation Framework continues to deliver value to shareholders

CORNING, N.Y. — Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW) today announced results for first-quarter 2017.

News Summary:

Strong first-quarter results demonstrate the company’s continued positive momentum. Compared to the first quarter of 2016: GAAP EPS increased $0.43 to $0.07; core EPS rose 39% to $0.39; GAAP and core sales increased 16% and 14% to $2.38 billion and $2.49 billion, respectively

Solid performance across all business segments highlighted by: sales growth in Optical Communications; continued rapid adoption of Corning® Gorilla® Glass 5; and continued glass price moderation in Display Technologies

Further advancement on Strategy and Capital Allocation Framework initiatives: more than $6.5 billion returned to shareholders since Framework’s introduction in October 2015; technical and commercial progress demonstrated value of focused portfolio

Year-over-year growth in sales and EPS expected to continue in the second quarter

“We are very pleased with the excellent performance and growth across all of our businesses this quarter,” said Wendell P. Weeks, chairman, chief executive officer and president. “The strategic and financial benefits of Corning’s cohesive portfolio are becoming even more apparent. We are on track to deliver our 2017 objectives and overall Framework goals. Looking into the second quarter, we expect our momentum to be further demonstrated with year-over-year sales and EPS growth.”

Strategy and Capital Allocation Framework Progress

Corning’s Strategy and Capital Allocation Framework continues to deliver long-term value to shareholders. Utilizing its financial strength, the company plans to deliver more than $12.5 billion to shareholders while investing $10 billion in growth opportunities and sustained leadership between 2016 and 2019. In the first quarter, Corning returned $552 million to shareholders through a combination of dividends and stock buybacks, and, since the Framework was announced, has returned more than $6.5 billion to shareholders. In addition, Corning’s focused portfolio is delivering excellent results.

“Corning’s leadership in a distinctive and cohesive set of capabilities increases our relevance in solving our customers’ toughest challenges,” Weeks added. “Verizon’s announcement last week is a great example. Verizon has committed to purchase at least $1.05 billion of optical fiber and associated solutions from Corning as they reinvent their network to support 5G and new services. Our Optical Communications market-access platform is central to realizing Verizon’s vision because of our ability to economically expand capacity and deliver innovative solutions.”

In Display Technologies, the company’s objective is to stabilize returns. First-quarter LCD glass price declines equaled the most moderate first-quarter declines in the past six years. Full-year 2017 LCD glass prices are expected to decline by about 10%, or possibly at a lower rate.

Other progress includes the continued rapid adoption of Gorilla® Glass 5, which supports the company’s goal of doubling sales in mobile consumer electronics. In the automotive market-access platform, Corning has won a majority of gas particulate filter (GPF) platforms. The company is also seeing progress toward commercialization of Gorilla Glass for Automotive, where interest in interiors is accelerating and progress toward additional wins for exteriors continues.

**Percent change not meaningful

*Core performance measures are non-GAAP financial measures. The reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP measures is provided in the tables following this news release, as well as on the company’s website. Core performance metrics (non-GAAP) are adjusted to exclude the impact of changes in Japanese yen and Korean won foreign exchange rates, as well as other items that do not reflect ongoing operations of the company. Corning does not forecast the movement of the Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar or other items that do not reflect ongoing operations. As a result, the company is unable to provide guidance on a GAAP basis. See “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for details on core performance measures.

Segment Results and Outlook

Display Technologies:



	Q1 2017		Q4 2016		% change	Q1 2016		% change
GAAP Net Sales	$	736	$	830	(11%)	$	705	4%
GAAP Net Income	$	249	$	243	2%	$	209	19%
Core Sales*	$	846	$	904	(6%)	$	829	2%
Core Earnings*	$	256	$	276	(7%)	$	223	15%

NOTE: In all segments except the Display Technologies segment, core net sales are consistent with GAAP net sales. Because a significant portion of revenues and costs in the Display Technologies segment are denominated in Japanese yen and Korean won respectively, this segment’s net sales and costs are adjusted to remove the impact of translating yen and won into U.S. dollars.

In the first quarter, Display Technologies reported strong results, with core sales of $846 million and core earnings of $256 million. The LCD glass market and Corning’s volume were up by a mid-teen percentage year over year. First-quarter sequential glass price declines were moderate, equaling the best first-quarter declines in the past six years.

In the second quarter, the overall LCD glass market and Corning’s volume are expected to increase by a low single-digit percentage sequentially, which is equivalent to a mid-single digit percentage increase year over year. The company anticipates sequential LCD glass price declines will be substantially less than the first quarter, with full-year 2017 declines expected to be about 10%, or possibly a lower rate.

Tony Tripeny, senior vice president and chief financial officer, noted, “We are very pleased with the dynamics of our Display business, and we continue to expect mid-single digit percentage growth in glass volume for the full year, in line with the overall LCD glass market.”

Core Earnings*	$	48	$	65	(26%)	$	32	50%

GAAP Net Income	$	17	$	13	31%	$	12	42%
Core Earnings*	$	20	$	17	18%	$	18	11%

In Life Sciences, first-quarter sales were up 3%, and core earnings were up 11% year over year. For the second quarter, the Life Sciences segment is expected to have low-single digit percent sales growth year over year.

Conclusion

“We’re off to a very strong start to the year, and expect year-over-year sales and earnings growth in the second quarter,” said Tripeny. “We remain confident in our ability to deliver on our 2017 objectives, and on the overall goals of our Strategy and Capital Allocation Framework, as we address the rich set of opportunities ahead of us.”

Presentation of Information in this News Release

Detailed reconciliations outlining the differences between these non-GAAP measures and the most directly comparable GAAP measure can be found on the company’s website by going to the Investor Relations page and clicking “Financial Highlights” under the “Performance” tab. These reconciliations also accompany this news release.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

CORE PERFORMANCE MEASURES

In managing the Company and assessing our financial performance, we supplement certain measures provided by our consolidated financial statements with measures adjusted to exclude certain items, to arrive at core performance measures. We believe reporting core performance measures provides investors greater transparency to the information used by our management team to make financial and operational decisions. Corning has adopted the use of constant currency reporting for the Japanese yen and South Korean won, and uses an internally derived yen-to-dollar management rate of ¥99 and won-to-dollar management rate of ₩1,100.

Net sales, equity in earnings of affiliated companies and net income are adjusted to exclude the impacts of changes in the Japanese yen and the South Korean won, gains and losses on our foreign currency hedges related to translated earnings, acquisition-related costs, discrete tax items, restructuring and restructuring-related charges, certain litigation-related expenses, pension mark-to-market adjustments and other items which do not reflect on-going operating results of the Company or our equity affiliates. Management’s discussion and analysis on our reportable segments has also been adjusted for these items, as appropriate. These measures are not prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“GAAP”). We believe investors should consider these non-GAAP measures in evaluating our results as they are more indicative of our core operating performance and how management evaluates our operational results and trends. These measures are not, and should not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP reporting measures. Corning does not forecast the movement of the Japanese yen and South Korean won against the U.S. dollar, or other items that do not reflect ongoing operations. As a result, the company is unable to provide forward-looking information on a GAAP basis.

Items which we exclude from GAAP measures to arrive at Core performance measures are as follows:



(1)	Constant-currency adjustments:
	Constant-yen: Because a significant portion of Display Technologies segment revenues and manufacturing costs are denominated in Japanese yen, management believes it is important to understand the impact on core earnings of translating yen into dollars. Presenting results on a constant-yen basis mitigates the translation impact of the Japanese yen, and allows management to evaluate performance period over period, analyze underlying trends in our businesses, and establish operational goals and forecasts. As of January 1, 2015, we used an internally derived management rate of ¥99, which is closely aligned to our current yen portfolio of foreign currency hedges, and have recast all periods presented based on this rate in order to effectively remove the impact of changes in the Japanese yen.
	Constant-won: Because a significant portion of Corning Precision Materials’ costs are denominated in Korean won, management believes it is important to understand the impact on core earnings from translating won into dollars. Presenting results on a constant-won basis mitigates the translation impact of the Korean won, and allows management to evaluate performance period over period, analyze underlying trends in our businesses, and establish operational goals and forecasts without the variability caused by the fluctuations caused by changes in the rate of this currency. We use an internally derived management rate of ₩1,100, which is consistent with historical prior period averages of the won.
(2)	Translated earnings contract loss: We have excluded the impact of the gains and losses of our foreign currency hedges related to translated earnings for each period presented.
(3)	Acquisition-related costs: These expenses include intangible amortization, inventory valuation adjustments and external acquisition-related deal costs.
(4)	Discrete tax items and other tax-related adjustments: This represents the removal of discrete adjustments attributable to changes in tax law and changes in judgment about the realizability of certain deferred tax assets, as well as other non-operational tax-related adjustments.
(5)	Litigation, regulatory and other legal matters: Includes amounts related to legal matters.
(6)	Restructuring, impairment and other charges: This amount includes restructuring, impairment and other charges, including goodwill impairment charges and other expenses and disposal costs not classified as restructuring expense.
(7)	Equity in earnings of affiliated companies: These adjustments relate to items which do not reflect expected on-going operating results of our affiliated companies, such as restructuring, impairment and other charges and settlements under “take-or-pay” contracts.
(8)	Impacts from the acquisition of Samsung Corning Precision Materials: Pre-acquisition gains and losses on previously held equity investment and other gains and losses related to the acquisition, including post-combination expenses, fair value adjustments to the indemnity asset related to contingent consideration and the impact of the withholding tax on a dividend from Samsung Corning Precision Materials.
(9)	Pension mark-to-market adjustment: Defined benefit pension mark-to-market gains and losses, which arise from changes in actuarial assumptions and the difference between actual and expected returns on plan assets and discount rates.
