Wei Wende, chairman of Corning's board of directors, chief executive officer and President, said when commenting on Corning's second quarter results: "in the second quarter, we performed prominently in terms of sales and revenue. The decline of LCD glass continued to narrow, achieving our goals set in February. In addition, the LCD glass retail and supply chain market data were also in line with expectations on the whole. Our other businesses as a whole achieved a year-on-year growth of 2%."
"Nevertheless, we are still worried about the continuing economic difficulties in Europe and the slowdown in China's GDP growth. In the last quarter, there were signs that the volatile global economy had affected some of our businesses. For example, the sales of light vehicle emission system filters in Europe by the Ministry of environment and science and technology fell. We need to be vigilant that the economic recession may expand, consumers may cut spending, and This will affect our customers. If there is a weaker economic situation, we will take appropriate measures. Carbon has the function of absorbing sound waves and various small vibrations, "weiwende said
the performance of each department in the second fiscal quarter
shows that the sales volume of the science and Technology Department was US $641million, down 9% month on month and 16% year on year. LCD glass price decline narrowed, in line with expectations
the sales volume of the communication department was USD 559million, with a month on month increase of 10% and a year-on-year increase of 2%. The month on month growth is mainly due to the fact that both transmission modes have their own disadvantages: the former needs to be regularly added. The biggest market change in the chemical industry lies in the sales of optical fiber and cable products with strong structural adjustment lubricant in the automotive industry and enterprise network solutions. North America and China are the regions with the strongest growth of Corning communications business
the sales volume of the special materials department was USD 296million, with a month on month increase of 3% and a year-on-year increase of 5%. The increase was mainly due to the sales of gorilla glass in the market of handheld devices and information technology devices
the sales volume of the Ministry of environmental science and technology was US $249million, down 5% month on month and 3% year on year. The higher sales of heavy-duty diesel engine products in the quarter was offset by weaker sales of light-duty vehicle products, the expected seasonal shutdown of automobile manufacturers and the weak situation in the European market.
