Cross Currency Swap Contracts
Since inception of the Company’s Japanese yen-denominated debt, the Japanese yen has weakened and the U.S. dollar value of these liabilities has decreased, generating unrealized foreign exchange gains that have been recognized over time in the consolidated statements of income (loss). During 2025 and 2024, the Company entered into various cross currency swap contracts relating to a portion of the Company’s Japanese yen-denominated debt in order to economically lock in unrealized foreign exchange gains. At inception of these instruments, Corning received a net amount from the counterparties, representing an exchange of the notional amounts at a fixed foreign exchange rate of Japanese yen to U.S. dollar and initially recorded this amount as a derivative liability. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, Corning received net payments of $24 million and $68 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fair value of the derivative liability associated with these contracts is $167 million and $148 million, respectively.
Net Investment Hedges
From time to time, Corning utilizes derivative and non-derivative net investment hedges to offset risk against investments in foreign subsidiaries with non-USD functional currencies. Accordingly, the following activity occurred during 2025:
During the first quarter of 2025, the Company de-designated €100 million ($117 million equivalent as of September 30, 2025) notional of the €300 million ($352 million equivalent as of September 30, 2025) 3.875% Notes due 2026 (“2026 Notes”), which is a non-derivative financial instrument that was previously designated as a net investment hedge against its investments in certain European subsidiaries with euro functional currencies. The Company continues to have €550 million ($644 million equivalent as of September 30, 2025) 4.125% Notes due 2031 (“2031 Notes”) also designated as net investment hedges. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had a total notional amount of €750 million ($879 million equivalent) and €850 million ($884 million equivalent), respectively, designated as net investment hedges.
Beginning in the first quarter of 2025, the Company entered into various foreign exchange forward contracts and designated these forward contracts as net investment hedges against its investments in certain European subsidiaries with euro functional currencies and its Taiwanese subsidiary with Japanese yen functional currency. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had €200 million ($234 million equivalent as of September 30, 2025) and ¥40.2 billion ($270 million equivalent as of September 30, 2025) existing net investment hedges.
As of September 30, 2025, these net investment hedges are deemed to be effective.
Leased Precious Metals Contracts
The carrying amount of the leased precious metals pool, which is included within property, plant and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation in the consolidated balance sheets, is $58 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The carrying amount of the leased precious metals pool includes a cumulative fair value gain of $3 million and a loss of $108 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. These gains and losses are offset by changes in the fair value of hedges.
