Before we jump into some Q&A, where I'll ask questions and invite the audience to submit questions to me via the chat feature, Tony has a presentation on Corning. Tony, the floor is yours.

Tony Tripeny

Thank you, Kevin. I appreciate the opportunity to speak here today, and appreciate everyone's participation in it. Before I get started, just to remind you, there are forward-looking statements and non-GAAP financials in this presentation.

I'd like to tell you a little bit about Corning. At our most basic level, we invent, make and sell. Now few companies do that these days, but we've been successful for 169 years. We are one of the world's leading innovators in material science. We combine our unparalleled expertise in glass science, ceramic science, and optical physics with our proprietary manufacturing and engineering platforms to create revolutionary products for five major markets, Optical Communications, Mobile Consumer Electronics, Display, Automotive and Life Sciences.

In Optical Communications, we manufacture optical fiber, cables, hardware and connectivity solutions for the premise, data center and in-building networks. In Mobile Consumer Electronics, we enhance performance and deliver new features on Corning Gorilla Glass, a cover glass for smartphones, laptops, tablets, and wearables.
