NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Dollars in thousands, except per share data
(unaudited)
1. Description of the Business
Libbey is the leading supplier of tableware products in the U.S. and Canada, in addition to supplying other key export markets. We operate in one business segment: tableware products. Established in 1818, we have the largest manufacturing, distribution and service network among North American glass tableware manufacturers. We design and market an extensive line of high-quality glass tableware, ceramic dinnerware, metal flatware, holloware and serveware, and plastic items to a broad group of customers primarily in the foodservice, retail and industrial markets. We also import and distribute various products and have a 49% interest in Vitrocrisa Holding, S. de R.L. de C.V. and related companies (Vitrocrisa), the largest glass tableware manufacturer in Latin America, based in Monterrey, Mexico.
We own and operate two domestic glass tableware manufacturing plants, one in Ohio and one in Louisiana; glass tableware manufacturing plants in the Netherlands and in Portugal; a ceramic dinnerware plant in New York; and a foodservice plastics manufacturing plant in Wisconsin. In addition, we import products from overseas in order to complement our line of manufactured items. The combination of manufacturing and procurement, and our investment in Vitrocrisa, allows us to compete in the tableware market by offering an extensive product line at competitive prices.
Our website can be found at www.libbey.com. We make available, free of charge, at this website all of our reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, our Current Reports on Form 8-K, as well as amendments to those reports. These reports are made available on the website as soon as reasonably practicable after their filing with, or furnishing to, the Securities and Exchange Commission.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
See our Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2004 for a description of significant accounting policies not listed below.
Basis of Presentation The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include Libbey Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries (Libbey or the Company). Our fiscal year end is December 31. We record our 49% interest in Vitrocrisa using the equity method. At September 30, 2005, we owned 95% of Crisal-Cristalaria Automática S.A. (Crisal). Our 95% controlling interest requires that Crisal’s operations be consolidated in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The 5% equity interest of Crisal that is not owned by us is shown as a minority interest in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from management’s estimates.

Table of Contents

Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations Net sales in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations include revenue earned when products are shipped and title and risk of loss has passed to the customer. Revenue is recorded net of returns, discounts and incentives offered to customers. Cost of sales includes cost to manufacture and/or purchase products, warehousing, shipping and delivery costs, royalty expense and other costs.
Reclassifications Certain amounts in prior years’ financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation used in the period ended September 30, 2005.
New Accounting Standards
In January 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 106-1, “Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003” (FSP No. 106-1), which permits a sponsor of a postretirement health care plan that provides a prescription drug benefit to make a one-time election to defer accounting for the effects of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the Act). In May 2004, the FASB issued FSP No. 106-2, “Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003” (FSP 106-2). FSP 106-2 supersedes FAS No. 106-1. FSP 106-2 is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning after June 15, 2004. FSP 106-2 provides authoritative guidance on the accounting for the Act and specifies the disclosure requirements for employers who have adopted FSP 106-2. Up until the third quarter of 2005, we had elected to defer accounting for the effects of the Act pending clarification of the Act on our nonpension postretirement plans. Now, in the third quarter of 2005, with guidance from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, we have determined the effects of the Act on our nonpension postretirement plans and included them in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 9.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS No. 123 Revised). This is an amendment to SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” This new standard requires share-based compensation transactions to be accounted for using a fair-value-based method and the resulting cost to be recognized in our financial statements. This new standard is effective beginning January 1, 2006. We are currently evaluating SFAS No. 123 Revised and intend to implement it in the first quarter of 2006. We do not presently have an estimate of its effect on our financial statements.
The FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs — an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4.” This statement clarifies the requirement that abnormal inventory-related costs be recognized as current-period charges and requires that the allocation of fixed production overhead costs to inventory conversion costs be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The provisions of this statement are to be applied prospectively to inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. We do not presently expect the effects of adoption to be significant.

4. Acquisitions
On January 10, 2005, we purchased 95 percent of the shares of Crisal-Cristalaria Automática S.A. (Crisal) located in Marinha Grande, Portugal, from Vista Alegre Atlantis SGPS, SA. The cash transaction was valued at approximately 28 million. Pursuant to the agreement, we will acquire the remaining shares of Crisal for approximately 2 million approximately three years after the closing date, provided that Crisal meets a specified target relating to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). The agreement provides that, if Crisal does not meet the specified target, we will acquire the remaining shares of Crisal for one euro. In addition, the agreement provides that, if Crisal meets other specified EBITDA and net sales targets, we will pay the seller an earn-out payment in the amount of 5.5 million no earlier than three years after the closing date of January 10, 2005. In the event that any contingent payments are made according to the agreement, the payments will be reflected as additional purchase price.
Crisal manufactures and markets glass tableware, mainly tumblers, stemware and glassware accessories, and the majority of its sales are in Portugal and Spain. This acquisition of another European glassware manufacturer is complementary to our 2002 acquisition of Royal Leerdam, a maker of fine European glass stemware. Royal Leerdam’s primary markets are located in countries in northern Europe. These acquisitions are consistent with our external growth strategy to be a supplier of high-quality, machine-made glass tableware products to key markets worldwide.
The following allocation of the purchase price for the Crisal acquisition is based on preliminary data and will change when the results of the valuation of inventory, fixed assets and certain identifiable intangible assets are finalized. We expect to finalize the purchase price allocations during the fourth quarter of 2005:

Crisal’s results of operations are included in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of January 11, 2005. Pro forma results for both the prior-year period and the period from January 1 through January 10, 2005, are not included, as they are considered immaterial.
In late July 2005, we announced that we are pursuing the possible purchase of the remaining 51 percent of the shares of Vitrocrisa from Vitro S.A. We are still pursuing this possible purchase. Vitrocrisa is currently a joint venture between Libbey and Vitro S.A., with Libbey owning 49 percent of the shares and Vitro S.A. owning 51 percent of the shares. See Note 5.

We were in compliance with all debt agreement covenants as of September 30, 2005, December 31, 2004, and September 30, 2004.
Some of the above borrowings require maintenance of certain financial covenants. On September 30, 2005, as previously reported in our Form 8-K filed October 4, 2005, we amended the terms of our Revolving Credit Facility (Facility) and our Senior Notes. The amendment temporarily reduced the Facility from $250 million to $195 million for the period September 30 to December 30, 2005, and increased the leverage ratio covenants under both the Facility and the Senior Notes from 3.50 to 1.00 to 4.25 to 1.00 at September 30, 2005. The amendment also provided for the waiver by the lenders of the leverage ratio covenant for the period from October 1, 2005, to December 29, 2005. At December 30, 2005, the leverage ratio covenant will return to 3.50 to 1.00. Based upon our forecast for the fourth quarter 2005, we expect to have a leverage ratio in excess of 3.50 to 1. Because we currently do not have further waivers or amendments of, or commitments to refinance these agreements, the borrowings under these agreements are classified as short term at September 30, 2005. However, we expect to refinance or amend these agreements in the fourth quarter of 2005 and are in the process of pursuing such amendments or financing commitments.
Revolving Credit Facility
In June 2004, Libbey Glass Inc. and Libbey Europe B.V. entered into an Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement (Revolving Credit Agreement or Agreement) with a group of banks that provides for an unsecured Revolving Credit and Swing Line Facility (Facility). We entered into amendments to the Agreement in December 2004 and September 2005 (as described above). The Agreement permits borrowings up to an aggregate total of $195 million from September 30 to December 30, 2005, and $250 million thereafter, maturing June 24, 2009. Swing Line borrowings are limited to $25 million. Swing Line U.S. dollar borrowings bear interest calculated at the prime rate plus the Applicable Rate for Base Rate Loans, as defined in the Agreement. Revolving Credit Agreement U.S. dollar borrowings bear interest, at our option, at either the prime rate plus the Applicable Rate for Base Rate Loans or a Eurodollar rate plus the Applicable Rate for Eurodollar Loans, as defined in the Agreement. The Applicable Rates for Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Loans vary depending on our performance against certain

14


Table of Contents

financial ratios. The Applicable Rates for Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Loans were 0.35% and 1.35%, respectively, at September 30, 2005. The weighted average annual interest rate on these borrowings at September 30, 2005, was 4.3%.
Libbey Europe B.V. may have euro-denominated swing line or revolving borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement in an aggregate amount not to exceed the Offshore Currency Equivalent, as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement, of $125 million. Offshore Currency Swing Line borrowings are currently limited to $15 million of the $25 million total Swing Line borrowings permitted under the Agreement. Interest is calculated at the Offshore Currency Swing Line rate plus the Applicable Rate for Swing Line Loans in euros. Revolving Offshore Currency Borrowings bear interest at the Offshore Currency Rate plus the Applicable Rate for Offshore Currency Rate Loans, as defined in the Agreement. The Applicable Rates for Swing Line Loans in euros and Offshore Currency Rate Loans vary depending on our performance against certain financial ratios. The Applicable Rates for Swing Line Loans in euros and Offshore Currency Rate Loans were 1.85% and 1.35%, respectively, at September 30, 2005.
Under the Agreement, we may also elect to borrow up to a maximum of $125 million under a Negotiated Rate Loan alternative at negotiated rates of interest. The Agreement also provides for the issuance of $30 million of letters of credit, which are applied against the $195 million limit. At September 30, 2005, we had $8.4 million in letters of credit outstanding under the Facility.
We pay a Facility Fee, as defined in the Agreement, on the total credit provided under the Facility. The Facility Fee varies depending on our performance against certain financial ratios. The Facility Fee was 0.4% at September 30, 2005.
No compensating balances are required by the Agreement. The Agreement does require the maintenance of certain financial ratios, restricts the incurrence of indebtedness and other contingent financial obligations, and restricts certain types of business activities and investments.
Senior Notes
We issued $100 million of privately placed senior notes in March 2003. Eighty million dollars of the notes have an average annual interest rate of 4.65%, with an initial average maturity of 8.4 years and a remaining average maturity of 5.6 years. Twenty million dollars of the senior notes have a floating interest rate at a margin over the London Interbank Offer Rate (LIBOR) that is set quarterly. The floating interest rate at September 30, 2005, on the $20 million debt was 4.54% per year.
Promissory Note
In September 2001, we issued a $2.7 million promissory note in connection with the purchase of our Laredo, Texas, warehouse facility. At September 30, 2005, December 31, 2004 and September 30, 2004; we had $2.2 million, $2.3 million, and $2.3 million outstanding on the promissory note, respectively.
Obligations Under Capital Leases
We lease certain machinery and equipment under agreements that are classified as capital leases. These leases were acquired in the Crisal acquisition (see Note 4). The cost of the equipment under capital leases is included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as property, plant and equipment and the related depreciation expense is included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The future minimum lease payments required under the capital leases as of September 30, 2005, are as follows:
                                 
    Payments Due by Period  
    Total     1 Year     2-3 Years     4-5 Years  
 
Capital leases
  $ 2,401     $ 670     $ 1,316     $ 415  
 
Interest Rate Protection Agreements
We have Interest Rate Protection Agreements (Rate Agreements) with respect to $25 million of debt to manage our exposure to fluctuating interest rates. The Rate Agreements effectively convert $25 million of our borrowings from variable rate debt to fixed-rate debt, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future income. The fixed interest rate for our borrowings related to the Rate Agreements at September 30, 2005, excluding applicable fees, was 5.3% per year and the total interest rate, including applicable fees, was 7.1% per year. The average maturity of these Rate Agreements was 0.9 years at September 30, 2005. Total remaining debt not covered by the Rate Agreements with fluctuating interest rates has a weighted average rate of 4.2% per year at September 30, 2005. If the counterparties to these Rate Agreements were to fail to perform, these Rate Agreements would no longer protect us from interest rate fluctuations. However, we do not anticipate nonperformance by the counterparties.
The fair market value of the Rate Agreements at September 30, 2005, was $(0.2) million. The fair value of the Rate Agreements is based on the market standard methodology of netting the discounted expected future variable cash receipts and the discounted future fixed cash payments. The variable cash receipts are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observed market interest rate forward curves. We do not expect to cancel these agreements prior to their expiration dates.
7. Special Charges
Capacity Realignment
In August 2004, we announced that we were realigning our production capacity in order to improve our cost structure. In mid-February 2005, we ceased operations at our manufacturing facility in City of Industry, California, and began realignment of production among our other domestic glass manufacturing facilities.
We recorded a pretax charge of $0.5 million in the third quarter of 2005 and $4.3 million in the first nine months of 2005 related to the closure of the City of Industry facility and realignment of our production capacity. These charges were primarily for employee termination and other costs. During the third and fourth quarters of 2004, we incurred a pretax charge of $14.5 million related to the closure of the City of Industry facility and realignment of our production capacity.
In December 2004, we sold approximately 27 acres of property in City of Industry, California, for net proceeds of $16.6 million. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, the buyer has leased the property back to us in order to enable us to cease operations, to relocate certain equipment to our other glassware manufacturing facilities, to demolish the buildings on the property and to perform related site work, as required by the purchase agreement. Demolition of all above-ground structures has been completed, and we are taking the final steps to demolish subsurface utility lines, to grade the property and to confirm that all environmental remediation that we were

16


Table of Contents

required to perform in fact has been performed as required. We anticipate that these steps will be completed on or before December 31, 2005.
The annual base rent payable under the lease is $1 (one dollar) until December 31, 2005. As stated above, we anticipate that the demolition, site work and remediation will be completed, and the lease terminated, on or before December 31, 2005. If, however, this work is not completed by December 31, 2005, the monthly lease payment increases to $0.2 million.
Because the risks and rewards of ownership have not been unconditionally transferred to the buyer at September 30, 2005, and the property site development activities have not been completed, we continue to carry the land and building on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The cash received in December 2004 was recorded as a deposit liability at December 31, 2004. The cost of demolition of the buildings and related site work was estimated by an independent third party to be between $4 and $6 million. We have been capitalizing these costs in 2005 because we ultimately expect to recover these development costs and the net book value of the land and building of $8.4 million. Assuming our estimated site preparation costs are reasonably accurate, we expect to recognize a gain, in the fourth quarter of 2005, equal to the excess of the deposit received over the net book value of the land and building, including the capitalized site development costs.

Salary Reduction Program
In the second quarter of 2005, we reduced our North American salaried workforce by seven percent, or approximately 50 employees, in order to reduce our overall costs. This resulted in a pretax charge of $5.6 million in the second quarter of 2005.
The following table summarizes the salary reduction charge incurred through September 30, 2005:

8. Pension
We have pension plans covering the majority of our employees. Benefits generally are based on compensation and length of service for salaried employees and job grade and length of service for hourly employees. Our policy is to fund pension plans such that sufficient assets will be available to meet future benefit requirements. In addition, we have a supplemental employee retirement plan (SERP) covering certain employees. The U.S. pension plans, including the SERP, which is an unfunded liability, cover the hourly and salaried U.S.-based employees of Libbey. The non-U.S. pension plans cover the employees of our wholly owned subsidiaries, Royal Leerdam and Leerdam Crystal, both located in the Netherlands.

In the second quarter of 2005, we incurred a pension curtailment charge of $1.6 million as a result of a planned reduction in our North American salaried workforce of approximately 50 employees. Due to the reduction of the salaried workforce, the U.S. pension plans were revalued as of June 30, 2005. At this time, the discount rate was reduced from 5.75% to 5.00%. This revaluation resulted in additional net periodic benefit cost of $0.2 million in the second quarter of 2005, which is included in the above table. The normal measurement date of the U.S. and non-U.S. plans is December 31. The salary reduction program is explained in further detail in Note 7.
During the third quarter of 2004, Libbey incurred a pension curtailment charge of $4.0 million as a result of the planned capacity realignment whereby our manufacturing facility in City of Industry, California, ceased operations in February 2005. As a result of the plant closure, approximately 140 employees were terminated. In addition, due to the announcement of the closure of the City of Industry plant, the valuation of the U.S. pension plan was revalued as of August 16, 2004. This resulted in additional net periodic benefit cost of $0.2 million in the third quarter of 2004. This amount is included in the above table. The capacity realignment is explained in further detail in Note 7.
We expect to contribute $0 to our U.S. pension plans and $1.6 million to our non-U.S. plans in 2005. Through the third quarter of 2005, there have been no contributions to the U.S. plans and contributions totaling $1.2 million to the non-U.S. plans.

9. Nonpension Postretirement Benefits
We provide certain retiree health care and life insurance benefits covering a majority of our salaried and hourly employees. Employees are generally eligible for benefits upon retirement and completion of a specified number of years of creditable service. Benefits for most hourly retirees are determined by collective bargaining. The U.S. nonpension postretirement plans cover the hourly and salaried U.S.-based employees of Libbey. The non-U.S. nonpension postretirement plans cover the retirees and active employees of Libbey who are located in Canada. Under a cross-indemnity agreement, Owens-Illinois, Inc. assumed liability for the nonpension postretirement benefits of Libbey retirees who had retired as of June 24, 1993.

In the second quarter of 2005, we incurred a nonpension postretirement curtailment charge of $0.3 million as a result of a planned reduction in our North American salaried workforce of approximately 50 employees. Due to the reduction of the salaried workforce, the U.S. postretirement plans were revalued as of June 30, 2005. At this time, the discount rate was reduced from 5.75% to 5.00%. This revaluation resulted in additional net periodic benefit cost of $0.1 million in the second quarter of 2005, which is included in the above table. The normal measurement date of the U.S. and non-U.S. plans is December 31. The salary reduction program is explained in further detail in Note 7.
During the third quarter of 2004, Libbey incurred a nonpension postretirement curtailment income of $0.2 million as a result of the planned capacity realignment whereby the

manufacturing facility in City of Industry, California, ceased operations in February 2005. As a result of the plant closure, approximately 140 employees were terminated. In addition, due to the announcement of the closure of the City of Industry plant, the valuation of the U.S. postretirement plan was revalued as of August 16, 2004. This resulted in additional net periodic benefit cost of $0.1 million in the third quarter of 2004. This amount is included in the above table. The normal measurement date for the U.S. plans is December 31. The capacity realignment is explained in further detail in Note 7.
In the third quarter of 2005, we determined the effects of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the Act) on our nonpension postretirement plans and included them in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Inclusion resulted in an annual reduction in expense of $0.3 million, of which $0.2 million was recorded during the third quarter 2005, for the nonpension postretirement plans. The Act is explained in further detail in Note 2.

Diluted shares outstanding include the dilutive impact of in-the-money options, which are calculated based on the average share price for each fiscal period using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the tax-affected proceeds that would be hypothetically received from the exercise of all in-the-money options are assumed to be used to repurchase shares.
11. Employee Stock Benefit Plans
We have two stock-based employee compensation plans. We account for the plans under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (APB 25), and related Interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income for stock options, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. We also have issued restricted shares under the stock option plan. Restricted shares are issued at no cost to the recipient of the award. The market value of the restricted shares is charged to income ratably over the period during which these awards vest. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if we had applied the fair value recognition provision of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (SFAS No. 123), to stock-based employee compensation:

12. Derivatives
As of September 30, 2005, we had Interest Rate Protection Agreements for $25.0 million of our variable rate debt, and commodity contracts for 2,450,000 million British Thermal Units (MMBTUs) of natural gas, with a fair value of $13.2 million, accounted for under hedge accounting. The fair value of these derivatives is included in accrued liabilities and other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet for the Rate Agreements and commodity contracts, respectively. At September 30, 2004, we had Rate Agreements for $50.0 million of our variable rate debt and commodity contracts for 5,020,000 MMBTUs of natural gas.
We do not believe we are exposed to more than a nominal amount of credit risk in our interest rate and natural gas hedges, as the counterparties are established financial institutions.
All of our derivatives qualify and are designated as cash flow hedges at September 30, 2005. Hedge accounting is applied only when the derivative is deemed to be highly effective at offsetting changes in anticipated cash flows of the hedged item or transaction. The ineffective portion of the change in the fair value of a derivative designated as a cash flow hedge is recognized in current earnings. In the third quarter of 2005, we recognized a gain of $0.5 million, which represented the total ineffectiveness of all cash flow hedges. During the third quarter of 2004, we recognized a gain of $0.03 million, which represented the total ineffectiveness of all cash flow hedges.

14. Barter Transactions
We entered into a barter transaction during the first quarter of 2005, exchanging inventory with a net book value of $1.1 million for barter credits to be utilized on future purchased goods and services. During the second quarter of 2005, we wrote down the credits from $1.1 million to $0.4 million, reflecting our revised estimate of fair value. The write-down was a non-cash transaction. The net credits recorded of $0.4 million were recorded at the fair value of the inventory

exchanged, net of fees, in accordance with EITF 93-11 “Accounting for Barter Transactions Involving Barter Credits” and are included in prepaid and other current assets in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Such barter credits are redeemable for a percentage of various goods and services negotiated with vendors. We regularly evaluate the recoverability of such assets and expect to utilize the fair value of the credits over the next twelve months.
15. Guarantees
The paragraphs below describe our guarantees, in accordance with Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.”
The debt of Libbey Glass Inc. and Libbey Europe B.V, pursuant to the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement and the privately placed senior notes, is guaranteed by Libbey Inc. and by certain subsidiaries of Libbey Glass Inc.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors. These factors are discussed under “Other Information” in the section “Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk.”
Overview
During the first nine months of 2005, Libbey undertook several key strategic projects that will enhance our long-term financial performance. These key initiatives were as follows:
    In January 2005, we acquired 95 percent of the shares of Crisal-Cristalaria Automática S.A. (Crisal) located in Marinha Grande, Portugal. Crisal manufactures and markets glass tableware, mainly tumblers, stemware and glassware accessories. Royal Leerdam, acquired in 2002, and Crisal are complementary and key to our growth strategy to supply high-quality, machine-made glass tableware products to key markets worldwide.
 
    In February 2005, we ceased operations at our manufacturing facility in City of Industry, California, and realigned production among our other domestic glass manufacturing facilities.
 
    In June 2005, we reduced our North American salaried workforce by seven percent, or approximately 50 employees, in order to reduce our overall costs.
 
    Our capital spending during the first nine months of 2005 was $26.5 million, as we executed our plan to improve inspection techniques and further improve productivity in our factories.
 
    During the third quarter of 2005, we broke ground to begin construction of our new production facility in China. The facility is expected to be in production in early 2007.

See Table 1 below for a reconciliation of income before income taxes to EBIT and EBITDA.
For the quarter-ended September 30, 2005, sales increased 2.9 percent to $135.6 million from $131.8 million in the year-ago quarter. The increase in sales was attributable to the Crisal acquisition in Portugal and higher sales of foodservice glassware, Syracuse China, and Traex products. Sales to World Tableware customers were down slightly. Sales to retail and industrial glassware customers and Royal Leerdam customers were all down over eight percent, largely attributable to our earlier decision to discontinue the sale of low-margin products and softness in the European retail market.
We incurred special charges for the capacity realignment of $0.5 million during the third quarter of 2005 compared to $11.7 million during the year ago period. The table below summarizes the special charges for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004. See Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Table 2 below for more detail on these charges.

Gross profit was $27.3 million and 20.1 percent of sales in the third quarter of 2005, compared to $20.3 million and 15.4 percent of sales in the third quarter of 2004. Factors contributing to the increase, in addition to the lower special charges in the third quarter of 2005, were higher sales to foodservice glassware and dinnerware customers, lower warehouse and distribution expenses, and lower salaried labor costs. Partially offsetting these gains were higher natural gas costs and higher pension and postretirement medical expenses.
We recorded income from operations of $10.0 million in the third quarter of 2005 as compared to a loss from operations of $1.2 million in the year-ago period. The $11.2 million increase in income from operations is attributable to the increase in gross profit as previously discussed and a reduction of $5.3 million of special charges not included in gross profit offset by an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a result of the acquisition of Crisal.
Earnings before interest and income taxes (EBIT) were $9.7 million in the third quarter of 2005, compared to a loss of $1.6 million in the year-ago quarter. The increase in EBIT was a result of higher income from operations compared to the prior year period. See Table 1 below.
Net income for the third quarter of 2005 was $4.2 million, or 30 cents per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $3.2 million, or a loss of 23 cents per diluted share, in the year-ago period. Diluted earnings per share for the quarter, as detailed in Table 3 below, excluding special charges, were 32 cents per diluted share, as compared to 34 cents per diluted share in the prior year quarter.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, sales increased 4.9 percent to $409.9 million from $390.7 million in the year ago period. The increase in sales was attributable to the Crisal acquisition in Portugal and higher sales of World Tableware, Syracuse China and Traex products. Partially offsetting these increases were lower glassware shipments to foodservice, retail and industrial customers.
We incurred special charges for the capacity realignment of $9.9 million for the first nine months of 2005 compared to $11.7 million during the year ago period. The table below summarizes the special charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004.

Gross profit was $75.4 million and 18.4 percent of sales in the first nine months of 2005, compared to $75.6 million and 19.3 percent of sales in the first nine months of 2004. The reduction in gross profit was caused by lower glassware sales to foodservice, retail and industrial customers, higher pension and postretirement medical expenses, and higher natural gas costs partially offset by a decrease in special charges from the year-ago period.

Table of Contents

We recorded income from operations of $12.6 million in the first nine months of 2005 compared to income from operations of $19.6 million in the year-ago period. The $7.0 million decrease in income from operations is primarily attributable to the decrease in gross profit as previously discussed, an increase of $3.3 million of special charges not included in gross profit and an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a result of the acquisition of Crisal.
Earnings before interest and income taxes (EBIT) were $12.8 million in the first nine months of 2005, compared to $20.3 million in the year-ago period. The reduced EBIT was a result of lower income from operations and a $0.5 million increase in equity loss from Vitrocrisa, compared to the prior year period. See Table 1 below.
Net income for the first nine months of 2005 was $1.6 million, or 12 cents per diluted share, compared to net income of $6.7 million, or 49 cents per diluted share, in the year-ago period. Diluted earnings per share for the first nine months of 2005, as detailed in Table 3 below, excluding special charges, were 60 cents per diluted share, as compared to 1.06 cents per diluted share in the first nine months of 2004.

Working capital was $169.4 million at September 30, 2005, which includes working capital associated with Crisal (acquired in January 2005) of $11.3 million. This is compared to working capital at December 31, 2004, of $151.0 million. Our working capital is higher at September 30, 2005, compared to December 31, 2004, due to the acquisition of Crisal and seasonal working capital requirements.

Working capital was $169.4 million at September 30, 2005 as compared to $168.6 million at September 30, 2004. However, excluding the $11.3 million of working capital associated with the Crisal business acquired in January of 2005, working capital was $10.5 million lower than at September 30, 2004, primarily as a result of the successful inventory control programs and higher accounts payable.

(a)   We believe that Free Cash Flow (net cash provided by operating activities, less capital expenditures and acquisition and related costs plus proceeds from asset sales and dividends from equity investments), a non-GAAP financial measure, is a useful metric for evaluating our financial performance and it is used internally to assess performance. See Table 4 below.
Our net cash provided by operating activities was $1.3 million in the third quarter of 2005, compared to net cash used for operating activities of $1.4 million in the prior year quarter, or an increase of $2.6 million. The primary driver of the increased cash provided by operating activities was an increase in net income and a reduction in cash used for working capital requirements as discussed above. Our free cash flow was $(5.9) million during the third quarter of 2005 compared to $(12.0) in the prior year period, an increase of $6.1 million, mainly attributable to the change in net cash provided by operating activities, a decrease of capital expenditures of $4.2 million and dividends received in the prior year period of $1.0 million.

See Table 4 below.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $12.7 million during the first nine months of 2005, compared to $9.8 million during the year-ago period. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was due to a decrease in cash used for working capital as discussed above offset by a reduction of net income from the prior year period. Free cash flow was $24.7 million less than in the year-ago period primarily as the result of the acquisition of Crisal for $29.0 million in 2005.

Total borrowings
          $ 265,434     $ 225,372     $ 251,370  
 
We had total borrowings of $265.4 million at September 30, 2005, compared to $225.4 million at December 31, 2004. The $40.0 million increase in debt is primarily attributable to the purchase of Crisal for $29 million in January 2005 and seasonal working capital needs.
Total borrowings increased $14.1 million from September 30, 2004, to September 30, 2005. The increase is primarily attributable to the purchase of Crisal as discussed above, partially offset by the impact of the devaluation of the euro on our euro-based debt during this period.
In June 2004, Libbey Glass Inc. and Libbey Europe B.V. entered into an Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement (Revolving Credit Agreement or Agreement) with a group of banks that provided for an unsecured Revolving Credit and Swing Line Facility. The Agreement is

Table of Contents

further detailed in Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Agreement has a five-year term, maturing June 24, 2009. We had additional debt capacity at September 30, 2005, under the Revolving Credit Agreement of $43.5 million.
We issued $100 million of privately placed senior notes (Senior Notes) in March 2003. Eighty million dollars of the notes have an average interest rate of 4.65%, with an initial average maturity of 8.4 years and a remaining average maturity of 5.4 years. For further discussion of maturities, see the “Contractual Obligations” below. The remaining $20 million of the notes has a floating interest rate at a margin over the London Interbank Offer Rate (LIBOR). The floating interest rate on the $20 million debt at September 30, 2005, was 4.5%.
Of our total outstanding indebtedness, $158.3 million was subject to fluctuating interest rates at September 30, 2005. A change of one percent in such rates would have resulted in a change in interest expense of approximately $1.6 million on an annual basis as of September 30, 2005.
We have entered into Interest Rate Protection Agreements with respect to $25 million of our debt. The average fixed rate of interest under these Interest Rate Protection Agreements is 5.3%, and the total interest rate, including applicable fees, is 7.1%. The average maturity of these Interest Rate Protection Agreements was 0.9 years at September 30, 2005.
We believe that our free cash flow and available borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement, private placement senior notes and other short-term lines of credit will be sufficient to fund our operating requirements, capital expenditures, share repurchases, commitments and all other obligations (including debt service and dividends) throughout the remaining term of the Revolving Credit Agreement. We believe that the most strategic uses of our cash resources include strategic investments to further enhance our manufacturing and distribution processes, acquisitions, payment of debt principal and interest, and working capital requirements.
Some of the borrowings described above require maintenance of certain financial covenants. On September 30, 2005, as previously reported in our Form 8-K filed October 4, 2005, we amended the terms of our Revolving Credit Facility (Facility) and our Senior Notes. The amendments temporarily reduced the Facility from $250 million to $195 million for the period September 30 to December 30, 2005, and increased the leverage ratio covenants under both the Facility and the Senior Notes from 3.50 to 1.00 to 4.25 to 1.00 at September 30, 2005. The amendment also provided for the waiver by the lenders of the leverage ratio covenant for the period from October 1, 2005, to December 29, 2005. At December 30, 2005, the leverage ratio covenant will return to 3.50 to 1.00. Based upon our forecast for the fourth quarter 2005, we expect to have a leverage ratio in excess of 3.50 to 1. Because we currently do not have further waivers or amendments of, or commitments to refinance these agreements, the borrowings under these agreements are classified as short term at September 30, 2005. However, we expect to refinance or amend these agreements in the fourth quarter of 2005 and are in the process of pursuing such amendments or financing commitments.
Share Repurchase Program
Since mid-1998, we have repurchased 5,125,000 shares of our common stock for $140.7 million. As of September 30, 2005, we have Board authorization to purchase an additional 1,000,000 shares. No treasury shares were purchased during the third quarter of 2005. A portion of the repurchased common stock is being used by us to fund the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) and the Company match contributions for our employee 401(k) plans.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We sometimes refer to data derived from consolidated financial information but not required by GAAP to be presented in financial statements. Certain of these data are considered “non-GAAP financial measures” under Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Regulation G. We believe that non-GAAP data provide investors with a more complete understanding of underlying results in our core business and trends. In addition, it is the basis on which we internally assess performance, and certain non-GAAP measures are relevant to our determination of compliance with financial covenants included in our debt agreements. Although we believe that the non-GAAP financial measures presented enhance investors’ understanding of our business and performance, these non-GAAP measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP.

Item 3. Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Currency
We are exposed to market risks due to changes in currency values, although the majority of our revenues and expenses are denominated in the U.S. dollar. The currency market risks include devaluations and other major currency fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar, euro or Mexican peso that could reduce the cost competitiveness of our products or those of Vitrocrisa compared to foreign competition and the impact of exchange rate changes in the Mexican peso relative to the U.S. dollar on the earnings of Vitrocrisa expressed under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Interest Rates
We are exposed to market risk associated with changes in interest rates in the U.S. and have entered into Interest Rate Protection Agreements (Rate Agreements) with respect to $25 million of debt as a means to manage our exposure to fluctuating interest rates. The Rate Agreements effectively convert $25 million of our long-term borrowings from variable rate debt to fixed-rate debt, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future income. The average fixed rate of interest for our borrowings related to the Rate Agreements at September 30, 2005, excluding applicable fees, was 5.3% per year, and the total interest rate, including applicable fees, was 7.1% per year. The average maturity of these Rate Agreements was 0.9 years at September 30, 2005. Debt not covered by the Rate Agreements has fluctuating interest rates with a weighted average rate of 4.2% per year at September 30, 2005. We had $158.3 million of debt subject to fluctuating interest rates at September 30, 2005. A change of one percentage point in such rates would result in a change in interest expense of approximately $1.6 million on an annual basis as of September 30, 2005. If the counterparties to these Rate Agreements were to fail to perform, these Rate Agreements would no longer protect us from interest rate fluctuations. However, we do not anticipate nonperformance by the counterparties.
Natural Gas
We are also exposed to market risks associated with changes in the price of natural gas. We use commodity futures contracts related to forecasted future natural gas requirements of our domestic manufacturing operations. The objective of these futures contracts is to limit the fluctuations in prices paid and potential losses in earnings or cash flows from adverse price movements in the underlying natural gas commodity. We consider our forecasted natural gas requirements of our domestic manufacturing operations in determining the quantity of natural gas to hedge. We combine the forecasts with historical observations to establish the percentage of forecast eligible to be hedged, typically ranging from 40% to 60% of our anticipated requirements, generally six or more months in the future, with smaller quantities hedged beyond this time frame. For our natural gas requirements that are not hedged, we are subject to changes in the price of natural gas, which affects our earnings.
Pension
We are exposed to market risks associated with changes in the various capital markets. Changes in long-term interest rates affect the discount rate that is used to measure our pension benefit obligations and related pension expense. Changes in the equity and debt securities markets affect the performance of our pension plan asset performance and related pension expense.

This document contains statements that are not historical facts and constitute projections, forecasts or forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect only our best assessment at this time, and may be identified by the use of words or phrases such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “planned,” “potential,” “should,” “will,” “would” or similar phrases. Such forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainty; actual results may differ materially from such statements, and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Readers are cautioned that these forward-looking statements are only predictions and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements for any reason. Important factors potentially affecting our performance include, but are not limited to:
    major slowdowns in the retail, travel, restaurant and bar or entertainment industries, including the impact of armed hostilities or any other international or national calamity, including any act of terrorism, on the retail, travel, restaurant and bar or entertainment industries;
    significant increases in interest rates that increase our borrowing costs;
    significant increases in per-unit costs for natural gas, electricity, corrugated packaging, aragonite, resins and other purchased materials;
    increases in expenses associated with higher medical costs, increased pension expense associated with lower returns on pension investments and lower interest rates on pension obligations;
    currency fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar, euro or Mexican peso that could reduce the cost competitiveness of our or Vitrocrisa’s products compared to foreign competition;
    the effect of high inflation in Mexico on the operating results and cash flows of Vitrocrisa;
    the impact of exchange rate changes in the Mexican peso relative to the U.S. dollar on the earnings of Vitrocrisa expressed under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States;
    the inability to achieve savings and profit improvements at targeted levels at Libbey and Vitrocrisa from capacity realignment, re-engineering and operational restructuring programs or within the intended time periods;
    protracted work stoppages related to collective bargaining agreements;
    increased competition from foreign suppliers endeavoring to sell glass tableware in the United States, Mexico, Europe and other key markets worldwide, including the impact of lower duties for imported products; and
    whether we complete any significant acquisitions and whether such acquisitions can operate profitably.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) reports are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the

40

cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Also, we have investments in certain unconsolidated entities. As we do not control or manage these entities, our disclosure controls and procedures with respect to such entities are necessarily substantially more limited than those we maintain with respect to our consolidated subsidiaries.
As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the quarter covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
