MARGIN SINCE Q3 2003

•		Net Income of $3.5 Million, or $0.23 Per Diluted Share

•		Income From Operations of $17.8 Million

•		Normalized EBITDA of $31.9 Million: The Best Q3 EBITDA Since Q3 2000

TOLEDO, OHIO, OCTOBER 29, 2009—Libbey Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: LYBI) today reported net income of $3.5 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, for the quarter-ended September 30, 2009, compared to a net loss of $6.0 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, in the prior-year third quarter. Net sales were $186.9 million in the third quarter of 2009, compared to $211.5 million in the prior-year third quarter.

Working Capital and Liquidity

As of September 30, 2009, working capital, defined as inventories and accounts receivable less accounts payable, decreased by $14.3 million year-to-date in 2009 from $206.9 million at December 31, 2008, to $192.6 million at September 30, 2009. The decline is primarily the result of significantly lower inventories, partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable, reflecting the Company’s continued success in its cash management efforts.

Free cash flow, as detailed in the attached Table 3, was $24.1 million, compared to $1.0 million in the third quarter of 2008. The primary contributors to the increase in free cash flow were the significant increase in net income and lower capital expenditures. For the first nine

months of 2009, free cash flow as detailed in Table 3, was $53.7 million, compared to a use of $39.6 million during the first nine months of 2008.

Libbey reported that, as of September 30, 2009, it had no outstanding balance under its Asset Based Loan (ABL) credit facility and that Libbey had available capacity of $81.3 million under the ABL credit facility as of September 30, 2009, and cash on-hand of $30.6 million. This compares to availability of $56.6 million and cash on-hand of $24.1 million at June 30, 2009.

John F. Meier, chairman and chief executive officer, commenting on the quarter said, “During the third quarter, we continued our solid success in cash flow generation for the year, resulting in increasingly improved liquidity.” Mr. Meier added, “Our U.S. retail shipments again led the way during the third quarter, as sales in this channel increased over nine percent compared to the third quarter of 2008. As a result of overall increases in demand, primarily in North America, we also benefited from increased capacity utilization in all three North American glass factories during the third quarter of 2009. These factors, along with the continued success of our cost reduction program, allowed us to generate $31.9 million in normalized EBITDA during the quarter.”

Third Quarter Results

For the quarter-ended September 30, 2009, sales decreased 11.7 percent to $186.9 million from $211.5 million in the year-ago quarter. North American Glass sales declined 10.7 percent to $128.3 million (see Table 4) from $143.6 million in the year-ago quarter. The decrease in sales was attributable to a 13.7 percent decrease in sales to Crisa customers (0.6 percent excluding the currency impact of the Mexican peso) and a 17.5 percent decline in sales to U.S. foodservice customers, partially offset by a 9.4 percent increase in shipments to retail glassware customers. Foodservice sales in the third quarter of 2008 were positively impacted by an increase in shipments to customers in advance of the Company’s last price increase in August 2008. North American Other sales decreased 27.8 percent, as shipments of Syracuse China products decreased approximately 46.7 percent, related to the closure of the Syracuse China facility earlier this year and the decision to reduce the Syracuse China product offering. Sales of Traex and World Tableware products decreased approximately 27.7 percent and 14.5 percent, respectively. International sales declined 4.1 percent as lower sales at Royal Leerdam and Crisal of 3.9 percent and 7.7 percent, respectively, more than offset increased sales of 20.0 percent to customers of Libbey China. Excluding the negative currency impact, international sales decreased approximately 0.4 percent.

The Company reported income from operations of $17.8 million during the quarter, compared to income from operations of $14.6 million in the year-ago quarter. Normalized income from operations was $18.6 million during the quarter, as detailed in Table 1. Factors contributing to the increase in normalized income from operations were lower spending on labor and benefits, packaging, repairs, natural gas, electricity and distribution costs partially offset by lower sales.

Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) were $20.6 million, compared to $13.6 million in the year-ago quarter. Normalized EBIT during the quarter, as detailed in Tables 1 and 4, was $21.3 million. Normalized EBIT was $17.0 million for North American Glass, compared

with $9.7 million in the third quarter of 2008. The increase was a result of reduced spending in all locations partially offset by lower sales. North American Other reported Normalized EBIT of $3.3 million for the third quarter of 2009, compared to $2.1 million in the third quarter of 2008. The primary driver of the improved Normalized EBIT was a more profitable mix of Syracuse China products. The International segment reported Normalized EBIT of $1.0 million, compared to Normalized EBIT of $1.7 million in the year-ago quarter. The decrease in Normalized EBIT in the International segment was primarily related to reduced international sales and lower capacity utilization.

Libbey reported that earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) (see Table 2) were $31.2 million in the third quarter of 2009 and Normalized EBITDA was $31.9 million, compared to EBITDA (and Normalized EBITDA) of $24.5 million in the year-ago quarter.

The effective tax rate decreased to negative 13.9 percent for the quarter, compared to negative 50.8 percent in the year-ago quarter. The Company’s effective tax rate for the quarter was impacted by valuation allowances, changes in the mix of earnings with differing statutory rates and tax planning structures. Libbey reported net income of $3.5 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2009, compared to a net loss of $6.0 million, or a loss of $0.40 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2008.

Nine-Month Results

For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, sales decreased 13.3 percent to $540.6 million from $623.6 million in the year-ago period. North American Glass sales decreased 12.0 percent to $374.8 million (see Table 4) from $426.1 million in the year-ago period. The lower sales were attributable to a decline of approximately 23.4 percent in Crisa’s sales (10.4 percent excluding the currency impact of the Mexican peso) and a decline of approximately 9.9 percent in sales to foodservice glassware customers in the U.S. and Canada. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in U.S. retail sales. Taking into account the 9.4 percent increase in U.S. retail sales during the third quarter, sales to the U.S. retail channel have grown 3.2 percent year-to-date in 2009, resulting in an all-time record retail sales performance during the first nine months of 2009. North American Other sales decreased 22.2 percent, as sales of Syracuse China, World Tableware and Traex were all lower than the first nine months of 2008. International sales decreased 13.7 percent as a result of lower sales to customers of Royal Leerdam and Crisal and unfavorable currency impact on European sales. Libbey China sales increased 10.5 percent for the first nine months of 2009 compared to the first nine months of 2008. Excluding the currency impact, international sales declined approximately 6.2 percent.

The Company reported income from operations of $17.3 million during the first nine months of 2009, compared to income from operations and normalized income from operations of $42.8 million in the year-ago period. Normalized income from operations was $23.2 million for the first nine months of 2009 as detailed in Table 1. Factors contributing to the decrease in normalized income from operations included a $10.6 million exchange rate impact (primarily in Mexico and Europe) and reduced capacity utilization, which reflected our effort to control inventories and generate cash, and lower sales. These factors were partially offset

by lower spending on labor, raw materials, packaging, repairs, natural gas, electricity and distribution costs.

EBIT was $22.7 million in the first nine months of 2009, compared to $43.1 million in the first nine months of 2008. Normalized EBIT for the first nine months of 2009, as detailed in Table 1 and Table 4, was $28.8 million. Normalized EBIT for the North American Glass segment was $22.8 million during the first nine months of 2009, compared to Normalized EBIT of $31.7 million in the first nine months of 2008. The decline is a result of lower sales and reduced operating activity in U.S. and Mexican operations. The North American Other segment reported Normalized EBIT for the first nine months of 2009 of $8.4 million, compared to $9.6 million in the year-ago period, the decrease being primarily as a result of lower sales. The International segment reported Normalized EBIT loss of $2.3 million, compared to Normalized EBIT of $1.8 million in the first nine months of 2008. This reduction in the International segment’s Normalized EBIT was primarily related to reduced sales and lower capacity utilization compared to the prior-year period.

Libbey reported that normalized EBITDA, as detailed in Table 2, was $61.0 million in the first nine months of 2009, compared to normalized EBITDA of $76.5 million in the year-ago nine-month period.

As a result of lower interest rates, partially offset by slightly higher debt, interest expense decreased $0.1 million compared to the first nine months of 2008.

The effective tax rate was 26.3 percent for the first nine months of 2009, compared to a negative 25.7 percent in the first nine months of 2008. The Company’s effective tax rate for the first nine months benefited by $5.3 million due to required intra-period tax allocations between loss from continuing operations and other comprehensive income in the U.S. and a $1.5 million benefit related to the completion of a U.S. federal income tax examination. The effective tax rate was also influenced by valuation allowances, changes in the mix of earnings with differing statutory rates, and tax planning structures. Libbey reported a net loss of $21.7 million for the first nine months of 2009, or a loss of $1.45 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $11.6 million, or $0.79 per diluted share, in the first nine months of 2008.

In accordance with the SEC’s Regulation G, tables 1, 2, 3 and 4 provide non-GAAP measures used in this earnings release and a reconciliation to the most closely related Generally Accepted Accounting Principle (GAAP) measure. Libbey believes that providing supplemental non-GAAP financial information is useful to investors in understanding Libbey’s core business and trends. In addition, it is the basis on which Libbey’s management assesses performance. Although Libbey believes that the non-GAAP financial measures presented enhance investors’ understanding of Libbey’s business and performance, these non-GAAP measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP.
