                    Corning Announces Second-Quarter Results

                     Company outlines restructuring programs
                            Details debt repurchases


CORNING,  N.Y. -- Corning  Incorporated  (NYSE:  GLW) today  announced  that its
second-quarter  sales were $896  million and that it incurred a net loss of $370
million,  or $0.39 per share.  The loss included  restructuring  and  impairment
charges of $494 million ($342 million after-tax), or $0.36 per share, and a gain
resulting from debt repurchases of $68 million ($42 million after-tax), or $0.04
per share.

"Second-quarter  revenues  were in line with our  expectations,"  said  James R.
Houghton,  chairman and chief executive officer. He said that while sales in the
telecommunications  sector continue to be severely depressed,  most of Corning's
businesses  outside of  telecommunications,  such as the liquid crystal  display
business,   are  profitable  and  experiencing  solid  growth.   Houghton  said,
"Excluding special items, our net loss was somewhat better than expected."

Second-Quarter Operating Results
Second-quarter  sales of $896 million were essentially  even with  first-quarter
sales of $898  million.  Sales reflect  increases in the advanced  materials and
information display segments,  offset by a 6% decline in the  telecommunications
segment. This sequential decline in telecommunications was primarily due to flat
shipments  and  price  declines  of 10% to 15% in the  optical  fiber  and cable
business.  The company said that fiber volume did not improve as expected due to
lower-than-anticipated  demand from North American  incumbent carriers and cable
television operators.

The increasing  popularity of flat-panel desktop monitors,  notebook  computers,
portable  electronic  devices and projection  televisions  drove a 9% sequential
sales  improvement  in  Corning's  information  display  segment.  Sales  in the
advanced  materials  segment grew 4% primarily due to gains in the Environmental
Technologies business.

"We  continue  to be  encouraged  with  the  quarter-to-quarter  growth  in  our
information display segment and environmental  technologies  business," James B.
Flaws, vice chairman and chief financial officer,  said,  "However,  there is no
question that the market turmoil  caused by several  customer  bankruptcies  and
ongoing accounting  controversies negatively impacted capital expenditures among
our telecommunications customers in North America."

Corning reported that it had $1.3 billion in cash and short-term  investments at
the end of the second  quarter,  down from $1.8  billion at the end of the first
quarter.  The decline in cash and  short-term  investments  was due primarily to
approximately $480 million of debt and commercial paper repayments.  Flaws said,
"We are pleased with the significant improvement in operating cash flow compared
to the first quarter. Our efforts to control our cash burn rate are paying off."

In the second quarter of 2001, Corning reported sales of $1.9 billion and a loss
of $4.8 billion or $5.13 per share.  The loss  included a $4.8 billion  goodwill
impairment  charge.  The year-to-year sales  decline  reflects  the  significant
falloff in the fiber and cable business which began in the third quarter of last
year.

Restructuring and Impairment Charges
In this year's second quarter,  Corning  recorded  restructuring  and impairment
charges totaling $494 million ($342 million  after-tax),  or $0.36 per share. In
April  the  company  said  that it  expected  to take  total  restructuring  and
impairment  charges in the range of $600 million  pretax  spread over the second
and third quarters of 2002. The second quarter pretax charges include:

..    $418 million  ($281  million  after-tax) of  restructuring  and  impairment
     charges related to workforce reductions and facility closures.
..    $60 million ($37 million  after-tax)  impairment of cost investments in the
     telecommunications segment.
..    $16  million  ($10  million  after-tax)  loss  on  the  divestiture  of the
     appliance controls business.
..    $14 million  after-tax  charge to impair an  international  cabling  equity
     investment which is included in equity earnings.

Corning expects third-quarter pretax restructuring charges to be in the range of
$125 million to $150 million based on actions  already  underway.  Approximately
one-third of the charges for the second and third quarters will be cash.

As part of the company's  restructuring and cost reduction efforts,  Corning has
planned workforce  reductions of approximately  4,400 employees  including 2,700
salaried positions.  Additionally,  the company has announced that it will close
several  manufacturing  and research  facilities as it consolidates  and reduces
cost in its global  telecommunications  businesses  as well as in its  corporate
research and administrative staff organizations.

In addition to the restructuring  actions,  Corning has implemented  significant
cost reduction programs across its existing businesses and staff functions.  The
company expects to realize annualized savings of approximately $265 million from
both the  restructuring  and cost  reduction  programs by the beginning of 2003.
Cost savings in the second half of 2002 should be  approximately  $55 million as
these programs are implemented.

"Corning is reviewing a number of other actions to further  reduce both the cost
structure and capital requirements of the businesses going forward," Flaws said.
"This could  include the  potential  sale or  discontinuation  of some  non-core
businesses.  Additional  consolidation  of  manufacturing  capacity  within  our
telecommunications  segment  is also  possible."  He said the  exact  timing  or
outcome  of these  reviews  has not yet been  determined  but  could  result  in
additional charges this year.

Gain on Debt Repurchase
Also in the second quarter,  Corning recorded a gain of $68 million ($42 million
after-tax),  or $0.04  per  share,  due to the  repurchase  of $220  million  in
accreted  value  of its zero  coupon  convertible  debentures  due 2015 for $148
million in cash in a series of open market  transactions.  Corning  said that it
may, from time to time, repurchase certain additional Corning debt securities in
open market or privately negotiated transactions.

Third-Quarter Outlook
Corning said it  anticipates  that  third-quarter  sales will be in the range of
$825  million to $875  million and its net loss will be in the range of $0.07 to
$0.10 per share,  excluding  previously  announced  restructuring and impairment
charges. The primary driver of the range will be fiber and cable volume which is
expected to be flat to down 15%. Corning said continued price pressure will also
impact revenues. Sales in the rest of the telecommunications businesses are also
expected to remain at depressed  levels.  The company  said it expects  revenues
from its advanced materials and information display segments to remain strong in
the third quarter led by its liquid crystal display business, which continues to
operate at full  capacity.  Third-quarter  results  are  expected to reflect the
positive impact of cost reduction  programs;  however  implementation  costs and
continued  weakening of the fiber and cable  business could largely offset these
gains.

Houghton   said,   "We  are   disappointed   that  the  issues   affecting   the
telecommunications  industry are resulting in reduced confidence and a new round
of carrier capital spending  reductions.  If this trend continues,  we will take
out more cost. Our commitment to achieving  profitability in 2003 is unwavering.
While we find the  difficulties  facing the  telecommunications  industry  to be
significant,  we are fortunate to have growth  opportunities  in our information
display and advanced materials segments. We plan on extending our market-leading
positions in these segments and we are prepared to take advantage of our optical
communications  market leadership when increased capital spending returns to the
telecom space."

                  CORNING INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 Quarter 2, 2002

1.   Operating Segments

Corning's reportable operating segments consist of Telecommunications,  Advanced
Materials  and  Information  Display.  Corning  includes  the earnings of equity
affiliates  that are closely  associated  with Corning's  operating  segments in
segment  net  income.  In the  second  quarter  of  2002,  Corning  revised  its
definition of segment net income. Prior to the second quarter, Corning disclosed
restructuring  and  impairment   charges  by  segment  but  excluded  this  from
quantitative  segment  results.  These charges have been included in segment net
income  and  historical  periods  have  been  conformed  to  this  presentation.
Information about the performance of Corning's three operating  segments for the
second quarter and six months of 2002 and 2001 is presented below. These amounts
exclude revenues,  expenses and equity earnings not specifically identifiable to
segments.

Corning  prepared the financial  results for its three  operating  segments on a
basis that is consistent with the manner in which Corning management  internally
disaggregates  financial  information  to assist in  making  internal  operating
decisions. Corning has allocated some common expenses among segments differently
than it would for stand alone financial  information prepared in accordance with
GAAP.  Segment  net income may not be  consistent  with  measures  used by other
companies.

2.   Restructuring, Impairment and Other Charges

2002 Restructuring Actions
--------------------------

During the second quarter,  Corning  undertook  actions to reduce its costs. The
intent to do so was announced in April 2002. At that time, it was estimated that
restructuring,  fixed asset  impairments,  and impairments of investments  could
total approximately $600 million and would be recorded over the second and third
quarters.

Actions approved and initiated in the second quarter include the following:

..    permanent  abandonment  of  certain  construction  projects  that  had been
     stopped  in  2001  in the  fiber  business  within  the  Telecommunications
     Segment,
..    closure   of   minor   manufacturing    facilities,    primarily   in   the
     Telecommunications Segment,
..    closure and consolidation of research facilities,
..    elimination  of 4,400  (includes  800 expected in Q3)  positions  worldwide
     through voluntary and involuntary programs, and
..    divestiture  of a portion of the  controls and  connectors  business in the
     Telecommunications Segment.

In addition,  Corning  impaired  cost based  investments  in a number of private
telecommunications companies.

Certain  of  the  costs   associated   with  these   activities   (estimated  at
approximately  $120  million)  will be  recorded  in the  third  quarter  as all
conditions for recognition had not been satisfied at June 30, 2002.  These third
quarter  charges  relate  primarily  to  severance  and fixed  asset  write-offs
pertaining to facility  closures  outside the United States and early retirement
programs.

These second  quarter  actions  resulted in a net pre-tax  charge  totaling $494
million ($328 million after-tax) for the quarter ended June 30, 2002. The charge
includes  restructuring costs of $204 million offset by a $5 million reversal of
the 2001  restructuring  charge,  $224 million for the  impairment  of plant and
equipment  offset by a $5 million  reversal of the 2001 impairment  charge,  $60
million  for  the  impairment  of cost  investments  and a $16  million  loss on
divestiture.  Approximately  $174  million of the charge  recorded in the second
quarter is expected to be paid in cash. As of June 30, 2002, approximately 1,600
of the 4,400 employees had been separated under the 2002 plans.  Corning expects
the remaining  employees to be separated by March 31, 2003. Certain  obligations
of the plans will be paid in 2002 and beyond.

3.   Gain on Repurchases of Debt

During the second  quarter of 2002,  Corning  purchased and retired a portion of
its zero coupon  convertible  debentures  with an accreted value of $220 million
for  cash of $148  million  in a  series  of open  market  repurchases.  Corning
recorded a gain of $68 million on these  transactions,  net of the  write-off of
the unamortized issuance costs.

4.   Income Taxes

Corning's  effective income tax benefit rate for the three and six month periods
ended June 30, 2002, was 30.7% and 29.5%, respectively.  The tax benefit rate in
the second quarter of 2002 was impacted by specific tax benefit calculations for
restructuring, impairment and other charges and the gain on repurchases of debt.
The effective benefit rate without  consideration of these items was 25% in both
2002 periods.  The effective tax benefit rate in the quarter and year to date is
lower  than the U.S.  statutory  income  tax  rate of 35% due to the  impact  of
unusable tax credits and nondeductible expenses and losses.






Federal tax  legislation  passed early in 2002 extended the net  operating  loss
carryback period from two to five years. Corning anticipates incurring a federal
tax net  operating  loss for 2002 and this  change in the tax  legislation  will
allow Corning to carryback the net operating  loss to open tax years and claim a
tax  refund.  Current  assets at June 30,  2002,  include a  receivable  of $135
million as a result of Corning availing itself of this opportunity.

The  effective  tax  (benefit)  rate for the three and six months ended June 30,
2001,  was 1.6% and  (0.7)%.  These  tax  rates  are  much  lower  than the U.S.
statutory  income tax rate  primarily due to non-tax  deductible  impairment and
amortization of acquired intangibles and goodwill.
