Christopher Keenan
Director of Investor Relations
Thank you, Carmen. Good morning, and welcome to Corning’s Second Quarter 2026 Earnings Call. With me today are Wendell Weeks, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President; and Ed Schlesinger, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. I’d like to remind you that today’s remarks contain forward-looking statements that fall within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially. These factors are detailed in the company’s financial reports.
You should also note that we will be discussing our consolidated results using core performance measures, unless we specifically indicate our comments relate to GAAP data. Our core performance measures are non-GAAP measures used by management to analyze the business. For the second quarter, differences between GAAP and core EPS principally reflects adjustments for hedged exposures along with largely noncash discrete tax items and restructuring and impairment charges.
A reconciliation of core results to the comparable GAAP value can be found in
