Each filer's latest fiscal year as stored by the nightly crawl; fiscal year ends differ across the universe. A metric ranks only filers for which it is computable from filed facts. Ties split; a rank reads "better than N% of filers" in the metric's own direction. Descriptive and educational, not a rating.

Per fiscal year from filed facts: cash conversion = operating cash flow / net income (net income > 0); cash-flow accrual ratio = (net income - operating cash flow) / average total assets; balance-sheet accrual ratio = change in net operating assets / average net operating assets, NOA = (assets - cash) - (liabilities - debt). Descriptive; a missing input yields a missing ratio. High accrual ratios and cash conversion well below one are the measures the accruals literature associates with less persistent earnings; they are screens to read the cash-flow statement with, not conclusions. The per-year series is part of Pro risk analysis.

Commitments and contingencies · 3,336 characters as filed

Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees Guarantees The Company is required, at the time a guarantee is issued, to recognize a liability for the fair value or market value of the obligation it assumes. In the normal course of business, the Company does not routinely provide significant third-party guarantees. Generally, third-party guarantees provided by Corning are limited to certain financial guarantees, including stand-by letters of credit and performance bonds, and the incurrence of contingent liabilities in the form of purchase consideration adjustments related to attainment of milestones. These guarantees have various terms and none of these guarantees are individually significant. The Company believes a significant majority of these guarantees and contingent liabilities will expire without being funded. Purchase Commitments Purchase obligations are enforceable and legally binding obligations. The Company has purchase commitments primarily for raw materials and energy-related take-or-pay contracts. Commitments made under these obligations as of December 31, 2025 are as follows (in millions): Amount of commitment expiration per period Less than 1 year 1 to 3 years 3 to 5 years 5 years and thereafter Purchase obligations $ 283 $ 181 $ 103 $ 332 Litigation, Environmental and Indemnifications Corning is a defendant in various lawsuits and is subject to various claims that arise in the normal course of business, the most significant of which are summarized below.

Commitments and contingencies · 1,271 characters as filed

Commitments and Contingencies Corning is a defendant in various lawsuits and is subject to various claims that arise in the normal course of business, the most significant of which are summarized below. In the opinion of management, the likelihood that the ultimate disposition of these matters will have a material adverse effect on Cornings consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations, is remote. Environmental Claims Corning has been designated by federal or state governments under environmental laws, including Superfund, as a potentially responsible party that may be liable for cleanup costs associated with 21 hazardous waste sites. It is Cornings policy to accrue for its estimated liability related to such hazardous waste sites and other environmental liabilities related to property owned by Corning based on expert analysis and continual monitoring by both internal and external consultants. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, Corning had accrued $85 million and $89 million, respectively, for the estimated undiscounted liability for environmental cleanup and related litigation. Based upon the information developed to date, management believes that the accrued reserve is a reasonable estimate of the Companys liability.

Debt · 2,302 characters as filed

Debt Based on borrowing rates currently available to us for loans with similar terms and maturities, the fair value of long-term debt was $7.4 billion and $7.3 billion compared to recorded book values of $7.8 billion and $7.6 billion as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The Company measures the fair value of its long-term debt using Level 2 inputs based primarily on current market yields for its existing debt traded in the secondary market.

As of June 30, 2026, there were no outstanding amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility. Certain of Cornings subsidiaries are the obligors to Chinese yuan-denominated unsecured variable rate loan facilities, whose proceeds are used for capital investment and related corporate purposes. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company entered into new Chinese yuan-denominated variable rate loan facilities and incurred $22 million and $448 million, respectively, in short-term borrowings under these facilities.

Share-based compensation · 867 characters as filed

Share-Based Compensation Total share-based compensation expense was $135 million and $250 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, and $63 million and $117 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. The income tax benefit realized from share-based compensation was $83 million and $117 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, and $9 million and $17 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. The increase in share-based compensation expense and the related income tax benefit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily driven by the Companys higher stock price, which increased the fair value of performance-based restricted stock units, and the related income tax benefits realized from awards that vested during the period.

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the effective tax rate differed from the U.S. statutory rate of 21%, primarily due to adjustments to share-based compensation, government incentives, changes in reserves and foreign derived deduction eligible income partially offset by the impact of an unfavorable tax ruling in South Korea. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the effective tax rate differed from the U.S. statutory rate of 21%, primarily due to foreign-derived intangible income, adjustments to share-based compensation and non-taxable items, partially offset by certain pre-tax losses with no corresponding expected tax benefit. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is currently conducting examinations of the Companys U.S. federal income tax returns for the years 2015 through 2018 and 2019 through 2020, including matters related to the one-time transition tax enacted under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act o

Segment reporting · 16,990 characters as filed

Reportable Segments Effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company revised its segment structure. This revision corresponds with changes in how our businesses are managed, which align with how our chief operating decision maker (CODM) reviews performance and allocates resources. As a result, the Company began managing its Display and Specialty Materials businesses as a single operating segment, referred to as Glass Innovations, and its Hemlock Semiconductor Group, solar wafer, and solar module businesses as a single operating segment, referred to as Solar. In addition, the Companys Life Sciences business does not meet the quantitative threshold for separate reporting and therefore is no longer reported as a reportable segment and is included together with all other businesses that do not meet the quantitative threshold for separate reporting within Life Sciences and Emerging Growth Businesses. Optical Communications and Automotive remain unchanged and continue to be reported as separate reportable segments. As a result of the above changes, the Company has determined it has four reportable segments for financial reporting purposes, organized primarily based on product offerings, as follows: Optical Communications manufactures carrier network and enterprise network components for the telecommunications industry; the carrier network group consists primarily of products and solutions for optical-based communications infrastructure for services such as video, data and
