Corning said it may from time to time continue repurchases of its debt securities in open market or privately negotiated transactions.

Excluding financing activities and related investments, Corning used $110 million in cash and short-term investments during the quarter. This included $77 million in restructuring payments and a net $24 million related to the purchase of Lucent's optical fiber and cable assets in China.

Fourth-Quarter Restructuring Charges restructuring charge

The expense of reorganizing a company's operations. A restructuring charge is an infrequent expense that generally results from asset writedowns or facility closings.


Corning said it will take fourth-quarter pretax restructuring charges in the range of $550 to $650 million for the following actions:
- permanent abandonment of certain construction projects that had been stopped in 2001 in the fiber and cablebusiness within the Telecommunications Segment,

- closure of minor manufacturing facilities, primarily in the Telecommunications Segment,

- closure and consolidation of research facilities,

- elimination of positions worldwide through voluntary and involuntary programs, and

- divestiture of a portion of the controls and connectors business in the Telecommunications Segment.


Corning said these restructuring actions will result in a reduction of approximately 2,200 employees. Of the total restructuring charge of $550 to $650 million, approximately 25% is expected to be paid in cash.

We are also evaluating other restructuring actions and we may announce further charges later in the current quarter."

Overview of 2002 Charges

In July, Corning announced it would record a $600 million pretax restructuring and impairment charge spread over the second and third quarters, including a workforce reduction of 4,600.

"These reductions are extremely painful. We are losing talented people who have made valuable contributions to Corning and we are acutely aware of the impact these actions have on the communities in which we operate," Flaws said.

Fourth-Quarter Outlook

Corning said it expects fourth-quarter sales will be in the range of $775 to $825 million and its net loss will be in the range of $0.08 to $0.12 per share, excluding restructuring and impairment charges announced today. The expected decline in fourth quarter sales compared to third quarter sales is primarily due to continued volume and price declines in the optical fiber and cable business, with some impact due to seasonality. Volume is expected to decline by 10% to 15% and the rate of decline in price is expected to be slightly less than the third quarter.

Corning is expecting continued strong performance for its flat panel glass business in the fourth quarter. Sales are also expected to increase in the semiconductor business. These gains will be largely offset by seasonal declines in other businesses in the advanced materials Advanced Materials is a leading peer-reviewed materials science journal published every two weeks.

             CORNING INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                            Quarter 3, 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 now 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 third quarter and nine 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 differently than it would for stand-alone
financial information prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. These expenses include interest, taxes and
corporate functions. 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 and cablebusiness within the Telecommunications Segment,

- closure of minor manufacturing facilities, primarily in the Telecommunications Segment,

- closure and consolidation of research facilities,

- elimination of 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 See assistive technology.  cost based investments in a number of private telecommunications companies See telecom company. .

These second quarter actions resulted in a net pre-tax pre-tax adjanterior al impuesto

Approximately $174 million of the charge recorded in the second quarter is expected to be paid in cash.

The third quarter charges resulted in a pre-tax charge totaling $125 million ($85 million after-tax and minority interest) for the quarter ended September September: see month.  30, 2002. The charge includes restructuring costs of $58 million and $67 million for the impairment of plant and equipment. Approximately $53 million of the charge recorded in the third quarter is expected to be paid in cash. As of September 30, 2002, approximately 3,000 of the 4,600 employees had been separated under the 2002 plans. Corning expects the remaining employees to be separated by September 30, 2003. Certain obligations of the plans will be paid in 2003 and beyond.

Fourth Quarter

On October 30, 2002, Corning announced its intent to take additional measures to attain profitability in 2003. The continued decline in demand in the Telecommunications Segment requires further restructuring to bring capacity in line with current revenues. The fourth quarter pre-tax charge is expected to approximate $550 million to $650 million and impact approximately 2,200 employees. Approximately one quarter of this charge is expected to be paid in cash. The fourth quarter actions will include:

3. Gain on Repurchases of Debt

During the third quarter of 2002, Corning repurchased and retired a portion of its zero coupon A certificate evidencing the obligation to pay an installment of interest or a dividend that must be cut and presented to its issuer for payment when it is due.

4. Income Taxes

Corning's effective income tax benefit rate for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002, was 30.3% and 29.7%, respectively. The income tax benefit rate in the third quarter and nine months 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 31.1% and 27%, respectively, for the quarter and nine months of 2002. The effective income 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 non·de·duct·i·ble

8. Accounting Change

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)

Board composed of independent members who create and interpret Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
 issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS SFAS Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
SFAS Special Forces Assessment and Selection

) No. 141, "Business Combinations," and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Intangible Asset

An asset that is not physical in nature.

Notes:
Examples are things like copyrights, patents, intellectual property, and goodwill. These are the opposite of tangible assets.
." Among other provisions, goodwill will no longer be amortized but will be subject to impairment tests at least annually. SFAS No. 142 was effective for Corning on January January: see month.  1, 2002. Corning completed its initial impairment review during the first quarter and concluded a transitional impairment charge from the adoption of the standard was not required.

Corning has selected the fourth quarter to conduct annual impairment tests. The outcome of the impairment test is primarily dependent upon the fair value of the reporting units. Business conditions in the telecommunications industry have deteriorated during the year and are depressed Depressed

As part of the annual impairment test, management is currently studying short and long-term market indicators and alternative growth patterns.

2. Deserving of esteem; admirable: an estimable young professor.
 at this time. Management will complete the impairment test in the fourth quarter and record any required goodwill impairment charge. The goodwill related to the Telecommunications Segment is $1.9 billion at September 30, 2002. Management believes there are a range of possible outcomes and no assurance can be given that an impairment charge will not be required.
