               CORNING EARNINGS UP MORE THAN 75% IN FIRST QUARTER
                              BEFORE SPECIAL ITEMS

                 Company beats Wall Street consensus and revises
                  full-year guidance to reflect bright outlook

CORNING, N.Y. - Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW) reported today that its
first-quarter earnings before special items increased more than 75%, exceeding
Wall Street's revised consensus by 9 cents. While virtually all of its
high-technology businesses performed well above expectations, demand was
especially strong for the company's optical fiber and optical-networking
products used to support the growth of Internet and e-commerce traffic.

The company reported first-quarter earnings of $0.64 per share before special
items, an increase of 78%, compared with $0.36 per share in 1999. Income for the
first quarter of 2000 totaled $178.1 million before special items, an increase
of 93%, as compared with $92.5 million in 1999.

Commenting on the quarter, Corning Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Roger
G. Ackerman, said, "The quarter was a home run for Corning. We are reaping the
benefits of our efforts to concentrate every aspect of the company on the
development of new products for optical communications and other high-growth
markets."

First-quarter sales were $1.35 billion, an increase of 36% as compared with 1999
first- quarter sales of $997 million. Excluding the impact of acquisitions,
sales increased 28%. Sales of optical fiber remained strong, with overall demand
increasing more than 50%, and demand for Corning(R) LEAF(R) optical fiber
tripling in the quarter. Sales in the Photonic Technologies Division increased
90%, led by demand for the company's optical amplifiers. Sales of flat-panel
display glass used in computer monitors grew at a rate of 45%.

CORNING REPORTS Q1 EARNINGS
PAGE 2

Equity earnings were up nearly 60% in the quarter, due primarily to excellent
performance at Samsung Corning Precision Glass Company, Ltd., a Korean
manufacturer of flat-panel display glass.

The company reported first-quarter 2000 pro forma net income per share of $0.68,
an increase of 79%, compared with $0.38 per share in the first quarter of 1999.
Pro forma net income was $188.3 million in first quarter 2000, an increase of
92% as compared with $97.9 million in the same period of 1999. Pro forma
earnings exclude amortization of purchased intangibles and goodwill, purchased
in-process R&D, one-time acquisition costs, discontinued operations and other
non-recurring items. Going forward, Corning will report pro forma earnings as
its primary performance measure.

Commenting on the company's outlook for 2000, Ackerman said, "Given the strength
of the first-quarter results and the market's phenomenal response to products
that deliver on the demand for ever-increasing bandwidth, we anticipate pro
forma earnings growth this year of about 35%, including announced acquisitions.
We are raising our full-year pro forma earnings guidance to $2.70 to $2.75 per
share to reflect this strong outlook.

"The quarter fuels our long-held belief that the penetration of optical
technology in the world's communication network has only just begun. Corning
will capitalize on the expansion of the optical layer by adding capacity around
the world, successfully integrating our recent acquisitions, and continuing to
execute our growth strategy at a rapid pace. I am confident we will accomplish
all three."

Corning also recorded a first-quarter, pre-tax charge of $89.0 million ($69.1
million after-tax, or $0.25 per share) related to acquisitions. In addition,
Corning recorded a pre-tax gain of $6.8 million ($4.2 million after tax), or
$0.02 per share, for a non-operating gain related to the sale of Quanterra
Incorporated. Finally, Corning incurred an after-tax charge of $36.3 million, or
$0.13 per share, to impair its entire investment in Pittsburgh Corning
Corporation. Including these non-recurring items, Corning's net income for the
first quarter of 2000 totaled $76.9 million, or $0.28 per share. This compares
with first quarter 1999 net income of $92.5 million, or $0.36 per share.

During the first quarter, Corning announced a definitive agreement for a
stock-for-stock merger with NetOptix Corporation. The transaction has secured
regulatory approval and is on track to close in mid-May.

Established in 1851, Corning Incorporated creates leading-edge technologies for
the fastest-growing markets of the world's economy. Corning manufactures optical
fiber, cable and photonic products for the telecommunications industry; and
high-performance displays and components for television and other
communications-related industries. The company also uses advanced materials to
manufacture products for scientific, semiconductor and environmental markets.
Corning's revenues in 1999 were $4.7 billion. More information on the company is

CORNING INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

QUARTER 1, 2000

(1)      Information about the performance of Corning's three operating segments
         for the first quarter of 2000 and 1999 are below. These amounts do not
         include revenues, expenses and equity earnings not specifically
         identifiable to segments. Corning has changed the performance
         measurement of its operating segments to a new metric - net income
         excluding amortization of purchased intangibles and goodwill, purchased
         in-process research and development, one-time acquisition costs,
         discontinued operations and other non-recurring items. The segment
         results for 1999 have been restated to conform to the new measure.

         (a)  Includes amounts derived from corporate investments.
         (b)  Includes royalty, interest and dividend income.
         (c)  Amortization of goodwill and intangibles relates primarily
              to the Telecommunications segment.
         (d)  Includes tax associated with special charges (unless otherwise

(2)      On January 28, 2000, Corning merged with Oak Industries, Inc. (Oak
         Industries) in a pooling of interests transaction. Oak Industries
         shareholders received 0.83 of a share of Corning common stock for each
         share of Oak Industries stock owned. Corning issued 14.8 million shares
         of Corning common stock and 2.7 million options to purchase Corning
         common shares to complete the transaction. The consolidated financial
         statements for the prior period of 1999 have been restated to include
         the financial position and results of operations of Oak Industries.
         During the first quarter of 2000, Corning recognized a charge of $47
         million ($43.4 million after tax), or $0.16 per share, for one-time
         acquisition costs related to Oak Industries.

(3)      In February of 2000, Corning acquired the worldwide optical cable and
         hardware business of Siemens AG and the remaining 50% of its investment
         in Siecor Corporation and Siecor GmbH (the Siemens transaction). The
         purchase price of $1.4 billion (subject to customary purchase price
         adjustments) includes approximately $120 million in assumed debt and
         $145 million in


<PAGE>

         contingent performance payments to be paid, if earned, over a four-year
         period. Portions of the transaction will close at dates into 2001. At
         March 31, 2000, total cash paid to Siemens approximated $1.1 billion.
         This acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of
         accounting. The purchase price has been allocated based on estimated
         fair values at date of acquisition, pending final determination of
         certain acquired balances. This preliminary allocation has resulted in
         acquired intangibles and goodwill of approximately $650 million, which
         is being amortized over lives of 5 to 20 years.

(4)      On February 14, 2000, Corning acquired British Telecommunication's
         Photonics Research Center for approximately $66 million in cash.
         Corning recorded a charge of $42 million ($25.7 million after tax), or
         $0.09 per share, for in-process research and development costs.
         Remaining purchase price has been recorded as property, plant and
         equipment and purchased intangibles and goodwill being amortized over
         lives up to 9 years.

(5)      Pittsburgh Corning (PCC) is a 50% owned equity investment of Corning
         Incorporated and PPG Industries, Inc. On April 16, 2000, PCC filed for
         Chapter 11 reorganization in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
         Western District of Pennsylvania. It indicated that the high costs of
         defending or settling asbestos claims, coupled with sharply increasing
         settlement demands, had threatened its financial health and left it
         with no alternative means of resolving the asbestos claims brought
         against it. As a result of this event, Corning recorded an after tax
         charge of $36.3 million, or $0.13 per share to impair its entire
         investment in PCC.

(6)      In January 2000, Corning sold Quanterra Incorporated to Severn Trent
         Laboratories for $35 million. In the first quarter of 2000, Corning
         recorded a non-operating gain of $6.8 million ($4.2 million after tax),
         or $0.02 per share, as a result of this transaction.

(7)      Depreciation and amortization charged to operations during the first
         quarters of 2000 and 1999 totaled $125.6 million and $101.6 million,
         respectively.

(8)      Excluding the impact of special items, Corning's effective tax rate was
         33% for the first quarter of 2000, and 30.8% for the first quarter of
         1999.

(9)      On January 31, 2000, Corning completed an equity offering of 14.95
         million shares of common stock generating net proceeds of $2.2 billion.
         The proceeds were used to repay $98 million of bank debt assumed in the
         Oak Industries merger and $372 million of commercial paper and to fund
         a portion of the Siemens transaction. The remaining proceeds of
         approximately $1.1 billion will be used for general corporate purposes,
         including funding Corning's capital spending program.

(10)     In February 2000, Corning completed an offering of Euro-denominated
         debt securities, which generated net proceeds of $485 million. The
         proceeds were used to finance a portion of the Siemens transaction.

(11)     On February 14, 2000, Corning announced that it had signed a definitive
         agreement to acquire NetOptix Corporation for approximately 12 million
         shares of Corning common stock. NetOptix manufactures thin film filters
         for use in dense wavelength division multiplexing components. Under the
         terms of the agreement, Corning will exchange 0.90 shares of Corning
         common stock for each share of NetOptix common stock. Corning will
         account for the transaction under the purchase method of accounting.
         Based on the average closing price for Corning for a range of days
         surrounding the announcement, the transaction is valued at
         approximately $2.1 billion, most of which will be allocated to goodwill
         and intangibles.

<PAGE>

         Corning currently expects goodwill and intangibles to be amortized over
         10 years and to be non-tax deductible. Corning expects the transaction
         to close in mid-May.

(12)     In the fourth quarter of 1999, the United States Bankruptcy Court for
         the Northern District of Michigan entered an order confirming the plan
         of reorganization filed jointly by Dow Corning Corporation and the
         Committee of Tort Claimants ("Joint Plan"). Corning and The Dow
         Chemical Company each own 50% of the shares of Dow Corning. On December
         21, 1999, however, the Court limited shareholder releases provided in
         the Joint Plan to apply to all claimants who voted in favor of the
         Joint Plan and not to those who voted against the Plan or abstained.
         Appeals from these December 21, 1999 rulings were taken on a variety of
         grounds to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of
         Michigan by the proponents, the two shareholders, and parties objecting
         to elements of the Joint Plan. Certain parties moved to dismiss the
         appeals by the proponents and shareholders as untimely. The proponents
         and shareholders also filed motions to vacate parts of the December 21,
         1999 ruling. These motions and appeals were joined by the Court for
         coordinated briefing and argument. On April 12 and 13, 2000, the
         District Court held a hearing and permitted extensive oral argument.
         The Court indicated that it would rule on the appeals and motions
         within 30 days. It is probable that the District Court's ruling will be
         subject to further appellate review. The timing and eventual outcome of
         these proceedings, including any subsequent appeals, remain uncertain.
         Further details concerning these proceedings appear in Corning's Form
         10-K/A for 1999.
