Looking Forward

“Our excellent first-quarter results have given us momentum for continued growth in the second quarter,” James B. Flaws, vice chairman and chief financial officer, said. “Strong demand for our optical communications products, the popularity of Gorilla Glass and strength of our heavy-duty diesel emissions materials will drive our second-quarter performance,” he said.

In the second quarter, Corning expects its LCD glass volume to increase by a low single-digit percentage sequentially. Glass prices in the quarter are expected to decline even less than the first quarter.
