Corning Announces Second-Quarter Financial Performance

Core EPS up 16% year over year
LCD glass price declines expected to moderate further in third quarter

CORNING, N.Y. — Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW) today announced its results for the second quarter of 2014.

Second-Quarter Highlights
·  
Core sales were $2.6 billion*, a 28% increase on a year-over-year basis. Net sales (GAAP) were $2.5 billion, a 25% increase on a year-over-year basis.
·  
Core earnings per share were $0.37 per share*, a 16% improvement over a year ago, marking the seventh consecutive quarter of year-over-year core EPS growth. GAAP earnings per share were $0.11.
·  
Corning’s LCD glass volume grew more than expected due in part to stronger-than-expected retail TV sales in Europe and South America, likely driven by the FIFA World Cup. Year-over-year sales in the Optical Communications and Environmental Technologies segments grew 14% and 25%, respectively.

Wendell P. Weeks, chairman, chief executive officer and president, said, “We had great results in the quarter that led to our seventh consecutive year-over-year quarterly core earnings improvement. We have positive momentum, and we are well-positioned to deliver on our 2014 business plan.

“We are particularly pleased with the improved performance in our Display Technologies segment. As we anticipated, LCD glass price declines were more moderate than they were last quarter. The integration of Corning Precision Materials Co., Ltd. into our global organization is proceeding very well, and we are benefiting from synergies attained through the consolidation.”

Weeks also pointed out that Corning’s Optical Communications segment maintained its outstanding sales performance with 14% year-over-year growth in the second quarter, and the Environmental Technologies segment had record sales in the quarter.

Second-Quarter Segment Results
Display Technologies segment core sales were $1.1 billion*, a 62% increase over core sales of $670 million a year ago. The sales improvement was driven by the consolidation of Corning Precision Materials. Core earnings for the quarter increased by 9% from the year-ago comparable period. LCD glass volume grew in the low teens percentage sequentially and was higher than anticipated. As the company expected, price declines were more moderate versus the first quarter.

Optical Communications segment sales were $686 million, a 14% increase from $601 million in quarter two of last year. The sales increase was stronger than anticipated, driven primarily by continued demand for Corning’s fiber-to-the-home solutions in North America and Europe.

Environmental Technologies segment sales reached a record $285 million, a 25% increase over second-quarter sales for 2013. Strong demand for the company’s heavy-duty diesel emissions control products continued in North America, China, and Europe.

Sales in Corning’s Specialty Materials segment were $298 million, comparable with quarterly results a year ago. Corning® Gorilla® Glass sales were less than anticipated in the quarter, due to lower retail demand for smartphones and high-end tablets, and lower-than-expected sales for planned new models.

Corning’s Life Sciences segment sales were $223 million, up 2% on a year-over-year quarterly basis. Core equity earnings from Dow Corning Corporation improved 17%* year over year.

In the second quarter of 2014, Corning repurchased 9.3 million shares for approximately $200 million under its current share repurchase program. The company also received 8.7 million shares in May from the settlement of an accelerated share repurchase transaction initiated in the first quarter of 2014. The company has approximately $400 million remaining under the share repurchase program that it expects to use by year-end.

Corning ended the second quarter with $5.9 billion in cash and short-term investments. The company’s capital spending for the quarter was $232 million. Corning has lowered its 2014 full-year capital spending estimate from $1.5 billion to approximately $1.3 billion.

Looking Forward
“We have accomplished a great deal with our first-half business performance. We expect the third quarter will bring Corning’s eighth consecutive year-over-year quarterly sales and earnings improvement, and we are on track for strong earnings growth for the full year,” James B. Flaws, vice chairman and chief financial officer, remarked.

In the third quarter, the company anticipates its LCD glass volume will be up by a mid-single digit percentage, sequentially. Glass price declines are expected to moderate further, returning to the rates experienced through most of 2013.

Optical Communications segment third-quarter sales are expected to increase by a mid-single digit percentage year over year, driven by continued strong sales of fiber-to-the-home solutions in North America and Europe.

For the Environmental Technologies segment, third-quarter year-over-year sales are anticipated to grow by 20% to 25%. Corning continues to benefit from strong demand for its heavy-duty diesel emissions control products in North America, China, and Europe.

Specialty Materials segment sales are expected to grow approximately 10% sequentially as demand for Gorilla Glass increases in the second half of the year. Life Sciences segment sales are expected to be up slightly on a year-over-year comparison.

“Synergies from the Corning Precision Materials acquisition are rapidly being achieved, and we expect to surpass our original goal. The company is delivering excellent growth in our Environmental Technologies and Optical Communications business segments, which we expect will continue through the second half of this year,” Flaws said.

“Corning continues to invest in research and development to drive our future growth,” he pointed out. “We are working on new glass substrates for high-performance displays to enhance consumer viewing experiences, improved diesel emissions filters and substrates, and advancements in fiber-to-the-home and next-generation, data-center network solutions. Additionally, we have developments underway in wireless communications, and we plan to introduce a new, enhanced generation of our market-leading Gorilla Glass later this year,” Flaws concluded.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In managing the Company and assessing our financial performance, we supplement certain measures provided by our consolidated financial statements with measures adjusted to exclude certain items, to arrive at non-GAAP amounts which we refer to as Core Performance measures.  We believe reporting Core Performance measures provides investors greater transparency to the information used by our management team to make financial and operational decisions.  Net sales, gross margin, equity in earnings of affiliated companies, and net income are adjusted to exclude the impacts of changes in the Japanese yen and Korean won, the impact of the purchased and zero cost collars, average forward contracts and other yen-related transactions, acquisition-related costs, discrete tax items, restructuring and restructuring-related charges, 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.  These measures are not prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (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 U.S. GAAP reporting measures.  Detailed reconciliations are provided below outlining the differences between these non-GAAP measures and the most directly comparable GAAP measures.  Further explanation of the Company’s reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures is included at the end of this document.

CORNING INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES


Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Items which we exclude from GAAP measures to arrive at Core Performance measures are as follows:

(1)
Constant-currency adjustments:
 
Constant-yen:  Because a significant portion of Corning’s LCD glass business revenues and manufacturing costs are denominated in Japanese yen, management believes it is important to understand the impact on core earnings from translating yen into dollars.  Presenting results on a constant-yen basis mitigates the translation impact of the Japanese yen, and allows management to evaluate performance period over period, analyze underlying trends in our businesses, and to establish operational goals and forecasts.  We use an internally derived management rate of ¥93, which is closely aligned to our yen portfolio of purchased collars, and have restated all periods presented based on this rate in order to materially mitigate the impact of changes in the Japanese yen.
 
Constant-won:  Following the acquisition of SCP and because a significant portion of SCP’s costs are denominated in Korean won, management believes it is important to understand the impact on core earnings from translating won into dollars.  Presenting results on a constant-won basis mitigates the translation impact of the Korean won, and allows management to evaluate performance period over period, analyze underlying trends in our businesses, and to establish operational goals and forecasts without the variability caused by the fluctuations caused by changes in the rate of this currency.  We use an internally derived management rate of 1,100, which is consistent with historical prior period averages of the won.  We have not recast prior periods presented as the impact is not material to Corning in those periods.
(2)
Purchased and zero cost collars, average forward contracts and other yen-related transactions:  We have excluded the impact of our yen-denominated purchased collars, average forward contracts, and other yen-related transactions for each period presented.  Additionally, we are also excluding the impact of our portfolio of Korean won-denominated zero cost collars which we entered into in the second quarter of 2014. By aligning an internally derived rate with our portfolio of purchased collars and average forward contracts, and excluding other yen-related and won-related transactions and the constant-currency adjustments, we have materially mitigated the impact of changes in the Japanese yen.
(3)
Results of Dow Corning’s consolidated subsidiary, Hemlock Semiconductor: In 2013, we excluded the results of Dow Corning’s consolidated subsidiary, Hemlock Semiconductor, a producer of polycrystalline silicon, to remove the operating and non-operating items and events which have caused severe unpredictability and instability in earnings beginning in 2012.  These events were primarily driven by the macro-economic environment.  Specifically, the negative impact of the determination by MOFCOM, which imposes provisional anti-dumping duties on solar-grade polysilicon imports from the United States, and the impact of asset write-offs, offset by the benefit of large payments required under Hemlock customers’ “take-or-pay” contracts, are events that are unrelated to Dow Corning’s core operations, and that have, or could have, significant impacts to this business.  Beginning in 2014, due to the stabilization of the polycrystalline silicon industry, we will no longer exclude the operating results of Hemlock Semiconductor from core performance measures.
(4)
Acquisition-related costs:  These expenses include intangible amortization, inventory valuation adjustments and external acquisition-related deal costs.
(5)
Discrete tax items:  This represents the removal of discrete adjustments attributable to changes in tax law and changes in judgment about the realizability of certain deferred tax assets.  This item also includes the income tax effects of adjusting from a GAAP tax rate to a core earnings tax rate.
(6)
Certain litigation-related charges:  These adjustments relate to the Pittsburgh Corning Corporation (PCC) asbestos litigation.
(7)
Restructuring, impairment and other charges.  In the second quarter of 2014, amount includes restructuring expense and other disposal costs not classified as restructuring expense.

 
 

 


(8)
Liquidation of subsidiary:  The partial impact of non-restructuring related items due to the decision to liquidate a consolidated subsidiary that is not significant.
(9)
Equity in earnings of affiliated companies:  These adjustments relate to items which do not reflect expected on-going operating results of our affiliated companies, such as restructuring, impairment and other charges and settlements under “take-or-pay” contracts.
(10)
Impacts from the Acquisition of Samsung Corning Precision Materials: Pre-acquisition gains and losses on previously held equity investment and other gains and losses related to the Acquisition, including the impact of post-combination expenses and the withholding tax on a dividend from Samsung Corning Precision Materials.
(11)
Pension mark-to-market adjustment:  Mark-to-market pension gains and losses, which arise from changes in actuarial assumptions and the difference between actual and expected returns on plan assets and discount rates.  In accordance with GAAP, Corning recognizes pension actuarial gains and losses outside of the corridor, where the corridor is equal to 10% of the greater of the benefit obligation or the market-related value of plan assets at the beginning of the year, for our defined benefit pension plans annually in the fourth quarter of each year and whenever a plan is remeasured or valuation estimates are finalized.  Actuarial gains and losses occur when actual experience differs from the estimates used to allocate the change in value of pension plans to expense throughout the year or when assumptions change, as they may each year.  Significant factors that can contribute to the recognition of actuarial gains and losses include changes in discount rates, differences between actual and expected returns on plan assets, and other changes in actuarial assumptions such as life expectancy of plan participants.  Management believes that pension actuarial gains and losses are primarily financing activities that are more reflective of changes in current conditions in global financial markets, and are not directly related to the underlying performance of our businesses.  For further information on the actuarial assumptions and plan assets referenced above, see Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, under Critical Accounting Estimates - Employee Retirement Plans, and Note 13, Employee Retirement Plans, of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
(12)
Gain on change in control of equity investment:  Gain as a result of certain changes to the Shareholder Agreement of an equity company, resulting in Corning having a controlling interest that requires consolidation of this investment.
