Revenue Breakdown by Country

Page 9: Corning (GLW) equity recommendation

Risk Factors• Customer Concerns

– “Our sales could be negatively impacted by the actions or circumstances of one or more key customers leading to the substantial reduction in orders for our products” • Corning’s ten largest customers accounted for 55% of our sales. • Display Technologies: 3 customers accounted for 72% of total

segment net sales when combined• Telecommunications: 1 customer accounted for 15% of segment

net sales• Environmental Technologies: 3 customers accounted for 86% of

total segment sales in aggregate• Specialty Materials: 3 customers accounted for 43% of segment

sales in 2010• Life Sciences: 2 distributors accounted for 37% of segment sales• Samsung Corning Precision’s sales were also concentrated in

2010, with sales to two LCD panel makers located in South Korea accounting for approximately 93% of total Samsung Corning Precision sales.

Risk Factors• Product Innovation

– Product markets are characterized by rapidly changing technologies, evolving industry or government standards and new product introductions. Success depends, in substantial part, on the successful introduction of new products, or upgrades of current products, and the ability to compete with new technologies

• International Concerns– Geographical concentration of factories and operations

– Complexity of managing global operations

– Difficulty in protecting intellectual property

– Natural disasters

– Foreign currency risk

• Environmental regulations– Manufacturing process generates chemical waster, waste water and other

industrial waste and green house gases

Q3 Report

• Sales were $2.1 billion, an increase of 3% sequentially and 30% year over year.

• Display Technologies Sales were $815 million

– 7% sequential and 26% year-over-year increase

– Price declines in the quarter were in line with the company’s expectations

– Display supply chain experienced a contraction in the third quarter as demand for LCD TVs remained strong worldwide while panel makers ran at lower utilization rates

• Telecommunications segment sales were $560 million

– increase of 2% sequentially and 21% year over year

– Enterprise network products sales increased 9%

– Fiber-to-the-home sales increased more than 30% year over year

• Environmental Technologies segment sales were $247 million

– Slight decline sequentially, but a 19% year-over-year increase

Page 12: Corning (GLW) equity recommendation

Q3 Report

• Specialty Materials segment sales were $299 million

– increase of 6% sequentially and nearly 90% over last year

– Segment net income grew significantly from $23 million to $38 million

– The business continues to benefit from extremely strong market acceptance of its industry-leading cover glass, Corning® Gorilla® Glass, for handheld devices, tablets, and laptop computers.

Industry

• Total glass volume, including SCP, was down about 10% for the quarter. – Worldwide glass market also declined 10%

• Panel shipments outside of Korea were flat sequentially, industry glass shipments outside of Korea were down 5%– Our glass shipments were up in the mid-single digits, indicating

we regained share during the quarter

• Supply chain contracted by about 3 weeks – 17 weeks at the beginning of Q3 to 14 weeks exiting the quarter– Inventories in square feet are at a level we have not seen since

early 2009

Page 16: Corning (GLW) equity recommendation

Looking Forward

• Glass volume at SCP is expected to increase at least 20% sequentially – Regaining share lost in the previous quarter & higher panel maker utilization

rates

• Retail demand for LCD products continues to be stronger than actual LCD glass demand– Retail demand should be up about 13% for the year. – Supply chain correction ends, glass demand will resume growth more in line

with retail performance

• Seasonal expected sales declines across Telecommunications, Environmental Tech, Specialty Materials and Life Sciences

• Increased quarterly common stock dividend and authorized $1.5 billion stock buyback program– Reached an agreement with Samsung to increase the payout from 40% to 70%

effective in 2012– in line with its performance as a consistent cash generator

Income Statement

• SG&A was $216 million compared to $284 million in Q2– Primarily due to lower compensation accruals, as well as a $22

million post-transaction credit

• Equity earnings were $324 million, a decrease of 24% from Q2 – Driven by lower volumes at SCP and softer silicone demand at

Dow Corning

• Other income was $27 million in Q3 versus $43 million in Q2– Decrease is primarily due to lower royalty income, a direct result

of lower sales at SCP

• Gross margin growth was primarily driven by strong operating performance in Display and Specialty Materials

Page 19: Corning (GLW) equity recommendation

Non-Operating Gains

• A tax benefit in the amount of $265 million for excess foreign tax credits from repatriation of current year earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries

• An increase of $157 million or 55% in equity earnings from our equity affiliate Dow Corning resulting from improved volume at Hemlock Semiconductor Corporation (Hemlock), Dow Corning’s consolidated subsidiary that makes high purity polycrystalline silicon for the semiconductor and solar industries, and non-recurring favorable tax items in the amount of $63 million.

• Settlement of business interruption and property damage insurance claims impacting our Display Technologies segment in the amount of $324 million (pre-tax), coupled with the absence of related costs in the amount of $30 million for accelerated depreciation charges and asset write-offs recorded in 2009

• Absence of restructuring charges in 2009 totaling $228 million for costs associated with workforce reductions in all of our operating segments

• $226 million from the impact of movements in foreign exchange rates• $900 million special dividend from Samsung Corning Precision in Q4 2010
