Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information Corning has included non-gaap financial measures in this presentation to supplement Corning s consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis Definitions of these non-gaap financial measures and reconciliations of these non-gaap financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures can be found on the company s website by going to the Investor Relations page and clicking Financial Highlights under the Performance tab These core performance measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies, due to differences in methods of calculation and excluded items net sales, equity earnings of affiliated companies, and earnings should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the company s net sales, equity earnings of affiliated companies and net income, as well as other measures of financial performance and liquidity reported in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles Our management uses non-gaap measures to analyze financial performance without the impact of items that are driven by general economic conditions and events that do not reflect the underlying fundamentals and trends in the company s operations Specifically, Corning s non-gaap financial measures are adjusted to exclude the impact of changes in the 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 US dollar, or other items that do not reflect ongoing operations As a result, the company is unable to provide guidance on a GAAP basis, and instead utilizes non-gaap measures that exclude those items We believe that providing these non-gaap financial measures in addition to the related GAAP measures provides investors with greater transparency to the information used by Corning s management in its financial and operational decision-making and allows investors to see Corning s results through the eyes of management We also believe that providing this information better enables investors to understand Corning s operating performance and to evaluate the efficacy of the methodology and information used by management to evaluate and measure such performance Investor Relations 2017 Corning Incorporated 3 Corning Incorporated -Related Innovation Accelerates Evolving Industries 165 years of providing catalysts for evolving industries Unparalleled expertise in glass science and related capabilities Trust-based collaboration with global leaders Products and processes that transform people s lives and make new industries possible Faster, more capable communication Cleaner, greener environments Richer entertainment experiences Longer, healthier lives 2016 Sales * $97 Billion Employees: ~40,000 worldwide Traded: NYSE:GLW Investor Relations * See Corningcom website for definition 2017 Corning Incorporated 4 2
