Corning Incorporated (NYSE:GLW) today announced first-quarter sales
of $1.31 billion and net income of $327 million, or $0.20 per
share. Corning�s first-quarter results include special charges
totaling $125 million, or $0.08 per share. Excluding these charges,
Corning�s first-quarter net income would have been $452 million, or
$0.28 per share. The company�s first-quarter results exceeded its
guidance for earnings per share of $0.24 to $0.27. These are
non-GAAP financial measures. These and all non-GAAP financial
measures are reconciled on the company�s investor relations Web
site and in attachments to this news release. Reflecting on the
first-quarter performance, Wendell P. Weeks, president and chief
executive officer, said, �We are off to an excellent start this
year. We are encouraged that Display Technologies performed as
expected and that our new pricing strategy appears to be working.
We continue to see progress in our Telecommunications segment and
momentum is building for our diesel products.� Corning�s
first-quarter results included the following items: a $110 million
non-cash, pretax and after-tax charge primarily reflecting the
increase in market value of Corning common stock to be contributed
to settle the asbestos litigation related to the Pittsburgh Corning
Corporation; and a $15 million pretax and after-tax charge related
to the retirement of long-term debt. First-Quarter Operating
Results Corning�s first-quarter sales of $1.31 billion increased 4
percent over last year�s first-quarter sales of $1.26 billion.
Sales declined 5 percent when compared to fourth-quarter 2006 sales
of $1.37 billion. Gross margin of 45 percent for the first quarter
was even with the first quarter of 2006, and was slightly higher
than the 44 percent in the fourth quarter of last year. Equity
earnings for the first quarter were $216 million, compared to $272
million in the fourth quarter of 2006, which included $28 million
of net nonrecurring gains at Samsung Corning Company, Ltd. Samsung
Corning is Corning�s 50-percent owned equity venture in Korea;
which manufactures glass panels and funnels for cathode ray tubes
for televisions and computer monitors. First-quarter equity
earnings include $92 million from Dow Corning Corporation, a
10-percent sequential increase, and lower earnings from Samsung
Corning Precision Glass Co., Ltd. (SCP). First-quarter sales for
Corning�s Display Technologies segment were $524 million, down 4
percent from the first quarter of 2006, when Corning�s sales of
$547 million were impacted by the panel makers� inventory buildup.
First-quarter sales declined 15 percent from the seasonally high
2006 fourth-quarter sales of $619 million as volume declined 12
percent. Sequential price declines were consistent with the
company�s guidance of 1 percent to 2 percent. Equity earnings from
Samsung Corning Precision were $113 million in the first quarter,
compared to $147 million in the fourth quarter last year. Samsung
Corning Precision�s results reflect sequential volume declines of 5
percent and price reductions in the upper single digits. Samsung
Corning Precision is Corning�s 50-percent owned equity venture in
Korea, which manufactures liquid crystal display (LCD) glass
substrates. First-quarter Telecommunications segment sales were
$439 million, an increase of 11 percent over first-quarter sales of
$397 million last year and 9 percent over fourth-quarter sales of
$404 million. Corning experienced higher demand than anticipated in
the first quarter across most of its telecommunications product
lines, including optical fiber, cable and hardware and equipment.
Separately, Corning announced that it would begin the partial
reopening of its Concord, N.C., optical fiber plant in response to
improvements in market demand. The Environmental Technologies
segment had sales of $179 million, a 15-percent increase on both a
year-over-year and sequential basis as both automotive and diesel
product sales increased. Weeks noted that diesel sales in the first
quarter of this year increased 65 percent over the same period last
year. �We are beginning to see the ramp-up of sales in the diesel
products business due to the new U.S. 2007 emissions regulations
for heavy-duty engines,� Weeks said, adding that this trend should
continue into the second half of this year. Last week Corning
announced that it would begin equipping select European-market
diesel passenger cars for Hyundai?Kia Motors with the company�s
DuraTrap� AT filters. Corning�s Life Sciences segment had
first-quarter sales of $76 million, a 6-percent increase over $72
million for the same period a year ago. Cash Flow/Liquidity Update
Corning ended the first quarter with $2.9 billion in cash and
short-term investments, down from $3.2 billion at the end of the
fourth quarter last year. The company used $246 million to repay
debt during the first quarter, reducing its overall debt level to
$1.5 billion. James B. Flaws, vice chairman and chief financial
officer, said that the company was encouraged by Moody�s Investor
Services� recent announcement that it is considering a possible
upgrade to Corning�s debt ratings, currently at Baa2 with a stable
outlook. As is normal for the first quarter, Corning�s free cash
flow was slightly negative, �but we expect to achieve our goal of
more than $400 million of positive free cash flow for the year,�
Flaws said. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure.
Second-Quarter Outlook Flaws said that the company expects
second-quarter sales to be in the range of $1.40 billion to $1.45
billion and EPS in the range of $0.30 to $0.33 before special
items. This EPS estimate is a non-GAAP financial measure and
excludes special items. The gross margin percentage for the second
quarter is expected to be in the range of 45 percent to 47 percent.
Corning expects that its second-quarter corporate tax rate will be
between 15 percent and 18 percent. Corning anticipates that its
second-quarter sequential LCD volume growth will be in the range of
8 percent to 12 percent for its wholly owned business and SCP, both
individually and in the aggregate. Corning said it is continuing
its new pricing strategy in the second quarter. As a result, the
company�s price decline guidance for its wholly owned business is
unchanged from its first quarter guidance. Corning anticipates that
SCP�s price declines will be similar to its wholly owned business.
Flaws said, �We believe that the second-quarter volume growth will
be driven by the consumer electronics industry�s seasonal buildup
in anticipation of the traditionally stronger second half of the
year.� Flaws also noted that Corning is continuing to transition
its customers to its environmentally friendly EAGLE XG� glass. �We
now believe that this year�s worldwide LCD TV penetration rate will
increase from our original estimate of 33 percent to 36 percent of
the color television market. In total, we expect approximately 73
million LCD televisions to be sold in 2007,� Flaws said. Corning�s
previous estimate was 68 million LCD televisions. Flaws said that
Corning has also increased its estimate for worldwide glass volume
in 2007. �The increase in expected LCD television penetration and
average screen size has prompted us to raise our expectation of LCD
glass volume growth for 2007. We now expect that total glass volume
will grow in a range of 35 percent to 40 percent over last year,�
Flaws said. The company estimates that the Taiwan and Japan markets
will grow at the upper end of this range, while Korea will likely
grow at a rate lower than the range. Corning�s previous estimate
was market growth in the �mid-30 percent� range. Corning�s
Telecommunications segment second-quarter sequential sales growth
is expected to be in the range of 10 percent to 15 percent, driven
primarily by continued growth in fiber and cable and hardware and
equipment products. Second-quarter sales in the company�s
Environmental Technologies segment are expected to increase about 5
percent sequentially due primarily to expected increases in the
company�s diesel products sales. Sales for the Life Sciences
segment should be up about 5 percent sequentially. Equity earnings
for the second quarter are expected to increase about 5 percent
compared to the first quarter. �We are pleased with the company�s
first quarter performance and believe we are well positioned for
the remainder of 2007. The growing penetration rate of LCD
televisions and consumers� desire for larger screen sizes should be
favorable for our Display Technologies segment. We are also
delighted to see more consistent growth in the telecommunications
industry. Finally, global regulations to improve emissions
standards have provided us with tremendous opportunities in the
heavy-duty and light-duty vehicle markets. Together, these factors
give us strong reason to be optimistic about our performance in the
second quarter,� Flaws concluded. Upcoming Investor Meetings

Information in this News Release Non-GAAP financial measures are
not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP. Corning�s
non-GAAP net income and EPS measure excludes restructuring,
impairment and other charges and adjustments to prior estimates for
such charges. Additionally, the company�s non-GAAP measure excludes
adjustments to asbestos settlement reserves required by movements
in Corning�s common stock price, gains and losses arising from debt
retirements, charges resulting from the impairment of equity or
cost method investments, or adjustments to deferred tax assets, and
gains or losses recognized in equity earnings from restructuring,
impairment or other charges or credits taken by equity method
companies. Corning�s free cash flow financial measures are also
non-GAAP measures. The company believes presenting non-GAAP free
cash flow; net income and EPS measures are helpful to analyze
financial performance without the impact of unusual items that may
obscure trends in the company�s underlying performance. These
non-GAAP measures are reconciled on the company�s Web site at
www.corning.com/investor_relations and accompany this news release.

to a trust. Corning also agreed to make cash payments over the six
years from the effective date of the settlement and to assign
certain insurance policy proceeds from its primary insurance and a
portion of its excess insurance at the time of the settlement. The
asbestos liability requires adjustment to fair value based upon
movements in Corning�s common stock price prior to contribution of
the shares to the trust as well as change in the estimated fair
value of the other components of the settlement offer. In the first
quarter of 2007 and 2006, Corning recorded a charge of $101 million
and $182 million, respectively, to reflect the movement in
Corning's common stock price in each year and changes of $9 million
and $3 million, respectively, to reflect changes in the estimated
fair value of the other components of the settlement offer. � (4)
Other corporate items include the tax impact of the unallocated
amounts. In addition, the following items are also included: -- In
the first quarter of 2007, loss of $15 million from the repurchase
of $223 million principal amount of our 6.25% Euro notes due 2010.

INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) � 1. Asbestos Settlement � On
March 28, 2003, Corning announced that it had reached agreement
with the representatives of asbestos claimants for the settlement
of all current and future asbestos claims against Corning and
Pittsburgh Corning Corporation (PCC), which might arise from PCC
products or operations. The proposed settlement, if approved, will
require Corning to relinquish its equity interest in PCC,
contribute its equity interest in Pittsburgh Corning Europe N.V.
(PCE), a Belgian corporation, and contribute 25 million shares of
Corning common stock. Corning also agreed to make cash payments
with a value of $131 million, in March 2003, over six years from
the effective date of the settlement and to assign insurance policy
proceeds from its primary insurance and a portion of its excess
insurance at the time of the settlement. � As a result of the
proposed asbestos settlement, any changes in the estimated fair
value of the components of the proposed settlement agreement will
be recognized in Corning�s quarterly results until the date of the
contribution to the settlement trust. In the first quarter of 2007,
Corning recorded a charge of $110 million (pretax and after-tax)
including a mark-to-market charge of $101 million reflecting the
increase in Corning�s common stock from December 31, 2006 to March
31, 2007 and a $9 million charge to adjust the estimated fair value
of certain other components of the proposed asbestos settlement. �
Beginning with the first quarter of 2003, Corning has recorded
total net charges of $927 million to reflect the estimated fair
value of our asbestos liability. � 2. Loss on Repurchase of Debt �
In the first quarter of 2007, Corning recognized a loss of $15

Corning�s earnings per share (EPS) excluding special items for the
second quarter of 2007 is a non-GAAP financial measure within the
meaning of Regulation G of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an
alternative to, generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
The company believes presenting non-GAAP EPS is helpful to analyze

Special items: Restructuring, impairment and other (charges) and
credits (a) � Asbestos settlement (b) � � � � � Earnings per share
� This schedule will be updated as additional announcements occur.
� (a) From time to time, Corning may need to make adjustments to
estimates used in the determination of prior year restructuring and
impairment charges, which could result in a gain or loss during the
quarter. � (b) As part of Corning�s asbestos settlement arrangement
to be incorporated into the Pittsburgh Corning Corporation
reorganization plan, Corning will contribute, if the reorganization
plan is approved, 25 million shares of Corning common stock to a
trust. The common stock will be contributed to the trust, after the
plan has been approved by the asbestos claimants and bankruptcy
court. The portion of the asbestos liability to be settled in
common stock requires adjustment each quarter based upon movements
in Corning�s common stock price prior to contribution of the shares
to the trust. In the second quarter of 2007, Corning will record a
charge or credit for the change in its common stock price as of
June 30, 2007 compared to $22.74, the common stock price at March
31, 2007. In addition, Corning will record an adjustment to the
asbestos liability to reflect the change in fair value of any of
the other components of the proposed asbestos settlement. Please
note that the company may pursue other financing, restructuring and
divestiture activities at any time in the future, and that the
potential impact of these events is not included within Corning's
second quarter 2007 guidance. This schedule contains forward
looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward looking statements are
