Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

CORE PERFORMANCE MEASURES

In managing the Company and assessing our financial performance, we adjust certain measures provided by our consolidated financial statements to exclude specific items to report core performance measures. These items include gains and losses on our translated earnings contracts, acquisition-related costs, certain discrete tax items and other tax- related adjustments, restructuring, impairment, and other charges or credits, 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. Corning utilizes constant-currency reporting for our Display Technologies, Environmental Technologies, Specialty Materials and Life Sciences segments for the Japanese yen, South Korean won, Chinese yuan, new Taiwan dollar and the euro. The Company believes that the use of constant-currency reporting allows investors to understand our results without the volatility of currency fluctuations and reflects the underlying economics of the translated earnings contracts used to mitigate the impact of changes in currency exchange rates on our earnings and cash flows. Corning also believes that reporting core performance measures provides investors greater transparency to the information used by our management team to make financial and operational decisions.

Core performance 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. With respect to the Company's outlook for future periods, it is not possible to provide reconciliations for these non-GAAP measures because the Company does not forecast the movement of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar, or other items that do not reflect ongoing operations, nor does it forecast items that have not yet occurred or are out of the Company's control. As a result, the Company is unable to provide outlook information on a GAAP basis.

For a reconciliation of non-GAAP performance measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, please see "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures".

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

(1)

Constant-currencyadjustment: Because a significant portion of segment revenues and expenses are

denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, management believes it is important to understand the

impact on core net income of translating these currencies into U.S. dollars. Our Display Technologies segment

sales and net income are primarily denominated in Japanese yen, but also impacted by the South Korean won,

Chinese yuan, and new Taiwan dollar. Environmental Technologies and Life Science segments sales and net

income are impacted by the euro, Chinese yuan and Japanese yen. Presenting results on a constant-currency

basis mitigates the translation impact and allows management to evaluate performance period over period,

analyze underlying trends in our businesses, and establish operational goals and forecasts. We establish

constant-currency rates based on internally derived management estimates which are closely aligned with the

currencies we have hedged.

Constant-currency rates are as follows:

Currency

Japanese yen

Korean won

Chinese yuan

New Taiwan dollar

Euro

Rate

¥107

₩1,175

¥6.7

NT$31

€.81

(2)

Translation loss (gain) on Japanese yen-denominateddebt: We have excluded the gain or loss on the translation

of our yen-denominated debt to U.S. dollars.

(3)

Translated earnings contract gain: We have excluded the impact of the realized and unrealized gains and losses

of our Japanese yen, South Korean won, Chinese yuan, euro and new Taiwan dollar-denominated foreign

currency hedges related to translated earnings, as well as the unrealized gains and losses of our British pound-

denominated foreign currency hedges related to translated earnings.

(4)

Acquisition-relatedcosts: These expenses include intangible amortization, inventory valuation adjustments and

external acquisition-related deal costs.

(5)

Discrete tax items and other tax-relatedadjustments: These include discrete period tax items such as changes in

tax law, the impact of tax audits, changes in judgement about the realizability of certain deferred tax assets and

other tax-related adjustments.

(6)

Restructuring, impairment and other charges or credits: This amount includes restructuring, impairment and

other charges or credits, as well as other expenses, primarily accelerated depreciation and asset write-offs, which

are not related to continuing operations and are not classified as restructuring expense.

(7)

Cumulative adjustment related to customer contract: The negative impact of a cumulative adjustment to reduce

revenue in the amount of $105 million. The adjustment was associated with a previously recorded commercial

benefit asset, reflected as a prepayment, to a customer with a long-term supply agreement that is exiting the

LCD panel manufacturing business.
