Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)


1.	Description of the Business

Libbey is the leading producer of glass tableware products in the Western Hemisphere, in addition to supplying key markets throughout the world. We produce glass tableware in five countries and sell to customers in over 100 countries. We have the largest manufacturing, distribution and service network among glass tableware manufacturers in the Western Hemisphere and are one of the largest glass tableware manufacturers in the world. We design and market an extensive line of high-quality glass tableware, ceramic dinnerware, metal flatware, hollowware and serveware to a broad group of customers in the foodservice, retail and business-to-business markets. We own and operate two glass tableware manufacturing plants in the United States as well as glass tableware manufacturing plants in the Netherlands (Libbey Holland), Portugal (Libbey Portugal), China (Libbey China) and Mexico (Libbey Mexico). Until April 28, 2011, we also owned and operated a plastics plant in Wisconsin. On April 28, 2011, we sold substantially all of the assets of the Traex^®plastics product line, including the Traex name^®, to the Vollrath Company. In addition, we import products from overseas in order to complement our line of manufactured items. The combination of manufacturing and procurement allows us to compete in the global 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 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 our website as soon as reasonably practicable after their filing with, or furnishing to, the Securities and Exchange Commission and can also be found at www.sec.gov.

Our shares are traded on the NYSE MKT exchange under the ticker symbol LBY.


2.	Significant Accounting Policies

See our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 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 (collectively, Libbey or the Company). Our fiscal year end is December 31^st. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with 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.

Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Net sales in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) include revenue earned when products are shipped and title and risk of loss have 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, warehouse, shipping and delivery costs and other costs.

Foreign Currency Translation

Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. subsidiaries that operate in a local currency environment, where that local currency is the functional currency, are translated to U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, with the resulting translation adjustments directly recorded to a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Income and expense accounts are translated at average exchange rates during the year. The effect of exchange rate changes on transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency is recorded in other (expense) income.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax attribute carry-forwards. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities

Table of Contents

are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification™ (FASB ASC) Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” requires that a valuation allowance be recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined separately for each tax jurisdiction in which we conduct our operations or otherwise incur taxable income or losses. In the United States, China, the Netherlands and Portugal, we have recorded valuation allowances against our deferred income tax assets. See note 6 for further discussion.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

We account for stock-based compensation expense in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation — Stock Compensation,” and FASB ASC Topic 505-50, “Equity — Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees”. Stock-based compensation cost is measured based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued. FASB ASC Topics 718 and 505-50 apply to all of our outstanding unvested stock-based payment awards. Stock-based compensation expense charged to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) is as follows:



	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
(dollars in thousands)	2012		2011		2012		2011
Stock-based compensation expense	$	1,138	$	1,140	$	1,865	$	1,967

New Accounting Standards

In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs” (ASU 2011-04). ASU 2011-04 explains how to measure fair value and improves the comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 does not require additional fair value measurements, and it is not intended to establish valuation standards or affect valuation practices outside of financial reporting. The provisions of this update are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this accounting pronouncement did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (ASU 2011-05). This ASU requires companies to present items of net income, items of other comprehensive income and total comprehensive income in one continuous statement or two separate but consecutive statements. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. In December 2011, ASU 2011-05 was modified by the issuance of Accounting Standards Update 2011-12, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05” (ASU 2011-12), which defers certain paragraphs of ASU 2011-05 that would require reclassifications of items from other comprehensive income to net income by component of net income and by component of other comprehensive income. Required interim disclosures have been made in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at June 30, 2012.

In September 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-08, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment” (ASU 2011-08). ASU 2011-08 allows for an option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount. If the qualitative factors result in the fair value exceeding the carrying value of a reporting unit, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. This update is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The provisions of this update did not have any impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In July 2012, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2012-02, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment” (ASU 2012-02). ASU 2012-02 allows for an option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its carrying amount. If the qualitative factors result in the fair value exceeding the carrying value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset, then the fair value does not need to be calculated. This update is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect the provisions of the update to have any impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Table of Contents

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the prior year’s financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation used in the current period financial statements. We revised the classification of the call premium on the senior notes and included the cash flow effect within the financing activities.

•	the repurchase and cancellation of $320.0 million of Libbey Glass’s then outstanding 10.0 percent Senior Secured Notes due 2015 (Old Senior Secured Notes); and


•	the redemption of $40.0 million of Libbey Glass's then outstanding 10.0 percent Old Senior Secured Notes (completed June 29, 2012).

We used the proceeds of the offering of the New Senior Secured Notes to fund the repurchase and redemption of $320.0 million of the Old Senior Secured Notes, pay related fees and expenses, and contribute $79.7 million to our U.S. pension plans to fully fund our target obligations under ERISA.

On June 29, 2012, we used the remaining proceeds of the New Senior Secured Notes, together with cash on hand, to redeem the remaining $40.0 million of Old Senior Secured Notes and to pay related fees.

The above transactions included charges of $23.6 million for an early call premium and $11.0 million for the write off of the remaining financing fees and discounts from the Old Senior Secured Notes and were considered in the computation of the loss on redemption of debt.

Amended and Restated ABL Credit Agreement

Pursuant to the refinancing, Libbey Glass and Libbey Europe entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of February 8, 2010 and amended as of April 29, 2011 and May 18, 2012 (as amended, the ABL Facility), with a group of four financial institutions. The ABL Facility provides for borrowings of up to $100.0 million, subject to certain borrowing base limitations, reserves and outstanding letters of credit.

All borrowings under the ABL Facility are secured by:


•	a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the existing and future personal property of Libbey Glass and its domestic subsidiaries (Credit Agreement Priority Collateral);


•	a first-priority security interest in:


•	100 percent of the stock of Libbey Glass and 100 percent of the stock of substantially all of Libbey Glass’s

Table of Contents

present and future direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries;


•	100 percent of the non-voting stock of substantially all of Libbey Glass’s first-tier present and future foreign subsidiaries; and


•	65 percent of the voting stock of substantially all of Libbey Glass’s first-tier present and future foreign subsidiaries


•	a first priority security interest in substantially all proceeds and products of the property and assets described above; and


•	a second-priority security interest in substantially all of the owned real property, equipment and fixtures in the United States of Libbey Glass and its domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens (New Notes Priority Collateral).

Additionally, borrowings by Libbey Europe under the ABL Facility are secured by:


•	a first-priority lien on substantially all of the existing and future real and personal property of Libbey Europe and its Dutch subsidiaries; and


•	a first-priority security interest in:


•	100 percent of the stock of Libbey Europe and 100 percent of the stock of substantially all of the Dutch subsidiaries; and


•	100 percent (or a lesser percentage in certain circumstances) of the outstanding stock issued by the first tier foreign subsidiaries of Libbey Europe and its Dutch subsidiaries.

Swingline borrowings are limited to $15.0 million, with swing line borrowings for Libbey Europe being limited to the US equivalent of $7.5 million. Loans comprising each CBFR (CB Floating Rate) Borrowing, including each Swingline Loan, bear interest at the CB Floating Rate plus the Applicable Rate, and euro-denominated swing line borrowings (Eurocurrency Loans) bear interest calculated at the Netherlands swing line rate, as defined in the ABL Facility. The Applicable Rates for CBFR Loans and Eurocurrency Loans vary depending on our aggregate remaining availability. The Applicable Rates for CBFR Loans and Eurocurrency Loans were 0.75 percent and 1.75 percent, respectively, at June 30, 2012. Libbey pays a quarterly Commitment Fee, as defined by the ABL Facility, on the total credit provided under the ABL Facility. The Commitment Fee was 0.375 percent at June 30, 2012. No compensating balances are required by the Agreement. The Agreement does not require compliance with a fixed charge coverage ratio covenant, unless aggregate unused availability falls below $10.0 million. If our aggregate unused ABL availability were to fall below $10.0 million, the fixed charge coverage ratio requirement would be 1:00 to 1:00. Libbey Glass and Libbey Europe have the option to increase the ABL Facility by $25.0 million. There were no Libbey Glass or Libbey Europe borrowings under the facility at June 30, 2012, or at December 31, 2011. Interest is payable on the last day of the interest period, which can range from one month to six months depending on the maturity of each individual borrowing on the facility.

The borrowing base under the ABL Facility is determined by a monthly analysis of the eligible accounts receivable and inventory. The borrowing base is the sum of (a) 85 percent of eligible accounts receivable and (b) the lesser of (i) 85 percent of the net orderly liquidation value (NOLV) of eligible inventory, (ii) 65 percent of eligible inventory, or (iii) $75.0 million.

The available total borrowing base is offset by rent reserves totaling $0.7 million and mark-to-market reserves for natural gas contracts of $1.9 million as of June 30, 2012. The ABL Facility also provides for the issuance of $30.0 million of letters of credit, which are applied against the $100.0 million limit. At June 30, 2012, we had $9.5 million in letters of credit outstanding under the ABL Facility. Remaining unused availability under the ABL Facility was $75.6 million at June 30, 2012, compared to $63.8 million under the ABL Facility at December 31, 2011.

New Senior Secured Notes

On May 18, 2012, Libbey Glass closed its offering of the $450.0 million New Senior Secured Notes. The notes offering was issued at par and had related fees of approximately $13.1 million. These fees will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the notes.

The New Senior Secured Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated May 18, 2012 (New Notes Indenture), between Libbey Glass, the Company, the domestic subsidiaries of Libbey Glass listed as guarantors therein (Subsidiary Guarantors and together with the Company, Guarantors), and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (New Notes Trustee) and collateral agent. Under the terms of the New Notes Indenture, the New Senior Secured Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.875 percent per year and will mature on May 15, 2020. Although the New Notes Indenture does not contain financial covenants, the New Notes Indenture contains other covenants that restrict the ability of Libbey Glass and the Guarantors to, among other things:


•	incur, assume or guarantee additional indebtedness;

Table of Contents


•	pay dividends, make certain investments or other restricted payments;


•	create liens;


•	enter into affiliate transactions;


•	merge or consolidate, or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all the assets of Libbey Glass and the Guarantors; and


•	transfer or sell assets.

The New Notes Indenture provides for customary events of default. In the case of an event of default arising from bankruptcy or insolvency as defined in the New Notes Indenture, all outstanding New Senior Secured Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other event of default under the New Notes Indenture occurs or is continuing, the New Notes Trustee or holders of at least 25 percent in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding New Senior Secured Notes may declare all the New Senior Secured Notes to be due and payable immediately.

The New Senior Secured Notes and the related guarantees under the New Notes Indenture are secured by (i) first priority liens on the New Notes Priority Collateral and (ii) second priority liens on the Credit Agreement Priority Collateral.

In connection with the sale of the New Senior Secured Notes, Libbey Glass and the Guarantors entered into a registration rights agreement, dated May 18, 2012 (Registration Rights Agreement), under which they agreed to make an offer to exchange the New Senior Secured Notes and the related guarantees for registered, publicly tradable notes and guarantees that have substantially identical terms to the New Senior Secured Notes and the related guarantees, and in certain limited circumstances, to file a shelf registration statement that would allow certain holders of New Senior Secured Notes to resell their respective New Senior Secured Notes to the public.

Prior to May 15, 2015, we may redeem in the aggregate up to 35 percent of the New Senior Secured Notes with the net cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings at a redemption price of 106.875 percent of the principal amount, provided that at least 65 percent of the original principal amount of the New Senior Secured Notes must remain outstanding after each redemption and that each redemption occurs within 90 days of the closing of the equity offering. In addition, prior to May 15, 2015, but not more than once in any twelve-month period, we may redeem up to 10 percent of the New Senior Secured Notes at a redemption price of 103 percent plus accrued and unpaid interest. The New Senior Secured Notes are redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, at any time on or after May 15, 2015 at set redemption prices together with accrued and unpaid interest.

We had an Interest Rate Agreement (Old Rate Agreement) in place through April 18, 2012 with respect to $80.0 million of our Old Senior Secured Notes as a means to manage our fixed to variable interest rate ratio. The Old Rate Agreement effectively converted this portion of our long-term borrowings from fixed rate debt to variable rate debt. The variable interest rate for our borrowings related to the Old Rate Agreement at April 18, 2012, excluding applicable fees, was 7.79 percent. Total remaining Old Senior Secured Notes not covered by the Old Rate Agreement had a fixed interest rate of 10.0 percent per year. On April 18, 2012, the swap was called at fair value. We received proceeds of $3.6 million. During the second quarter, $0.1 million of the carrying value adjustment on debt related to the Old Rate Agreement was amortized into interest expense. Upon the refinancing of the Old Senior Secured Notes, the remaining unamortized balance of $3.5 million of the carrying value adjustment on debt related to the Old Rate Agreement was recognized as a gain in the loss on redemption of debt on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

On June 18, 2012, we entered into an Interest Rate Agreement (New Rate Agreement) with respect to $45.0 million of our New Senior Secured Notes as a means to manage our fixed to variable interest rate ratio. The New Rate Agreement effectively converts this portion of our long-term borrowings from fixed rate debt to variable rate debt. Prior to May 15, 2015, but not more than once in any twelve-month period, the counterparty may call up to 10 percent of the New Rate Agreement at a call price of 103 percent. The New Rate Agreement is callable at the counterparty’s option, in whole or in part, at any time on or after May 15, 2015 at set call premiums. The variable interest rate for our borrowings related to the New Rate Agreement at June 30, 2012, excluding applicable fees, is 5.73 percent. This New Rate Agreement expires on May 15, 2020. Total remaining New Senior Secured Notes not covered by the New Rate Agreement have a fixed interest rate of 6.875 percent per year through May 15, 2020. If the counterparty to this New Rate Agreement were to fail to perform, this New Rate Agreement would no longer afford us a variable rate. However, we do not anticipate non-performance by the counterparty. The interest rate swap counterparty was rated A+, as of June 30, 2012, by Standard and Poor’s.

The fair market value and related carrying value adjustment are as follows:

The net impact recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) is as follows:



	Three months ended June 30,						Six months ended June 30,
(dollars in thousands)	2012			2011			2012		2011

The fair value of the Old and New Rate Agreements are based on the market standard methodology of netting the discounted expected future fixed cash receipts and the discounted future variable cash payments. The variable cash payments are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observed market interest rate forward curves. See note 9 for further discussion.

Promissory Note

In September 2001, we issued a $2.7 million promissory note at an interest rate of 6.0 percent in connection with the purchase of our Laredo, Texas warehouse facility. At June 30, 2012, we had $1.0 million outstanding on the promissory note. Principal and interest with respect to the promissory note are paid monthly.

Notes Payable

We have an overdraft line of credit for a maximum of €1.0 million. At June 30, 2012, there were no borrowings under the facility, which has an interest rate of 5.80 percent. Interest with respect to the note is paid monthly.

RMB Loan Contract

On January 23, 2006, Libbey Glassware (China) Co., Ltd. (Libbey China), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Libbey Inc., entered into an RMB Loan Contract (RMB Loan Contract) with China Construction Bank Corporation Langfang Economic Development Area Sub-Branch (CCB). Pursuant to the RMB Loan Contract, CCB agreed to lend to Libbey China RMB 250.0 million, or the equivalent of approximately $39.6 million, for the construction of our production facility in China and the purchase of related equipment, materials and services. The loan has a term of eight years and bears interest at a variable rate as announced by the People’s Bank of China. As of the date of the initial advance under the Loan Contract, the annual interest rate was 5.51 percent, and as of June 30, 2012, the annual interest rate was 6.35 percent. As of June 30, 2012, the outstanding balance was RMB 120.0 million (approximately $19.0 million). Interest is payable quarterly. We pre-paid the July 20, 2012 principal payment of RMB 30.0 million (approximately $4.8 million) in September 2011, the December 20, 2012 principal payment of RMB 40.0 million (approximately $6.3 million) in November 2011, and the July 20, 2013 principal payment of RMB 60.0 million (approximately $9.5 million) in April 2012. Principal payments in the amount of RMB 60.0 million (approximately $9.5 million) are due on December 20, 2013, and January 20, 2014. The obligations of Libbey China are secured by a guarantee executed by Libbey Inc. for the benefit of CCB and a mortgage lien on the Libbey China facility.

BES Euro Line

In January 2007, Crisal entered into a seven-year €11.0 million line of credit (approximately $13.8 million) with Banco Espírito Santo, S.A. (BES). The $7.6 million outstanding at June 30, 2012, was the U.S. dollar equivalent of the €6.1 million outstanding under the line at an interest rate of 3.77 percent. Payment of principal in the amount of €2.8 million (approximately $3.5 million) is due in December 2012 and payment of €3.3 million (approximately $4.2 million) is due in December 2013. Interest with respect to the line is paid semi-annually.

Fair Value of Borrowings

The fair value of our debt has been calculated based on quoted market prices (Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy) for the same or similar issues. Our $450.0 million New Senior Secured Notes had an estimated fair value of $464.6 million at June 30, 2012. The Old Senior Secured Notes had an estimated fair value of $385.2 million at December 31, 2011. The fair value of the remainder of our debt approximates carrying value at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 due to variable rates.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

Historically, cash flows generated from operations, cash on hand and our borrowing capacity under our ABL Facility have enabled us to meet our cash requirements, including capital expenditures and working capital requirements. At June 30, 2012 we had no borrowings under our ABL Facility, although we had $9.5 million of letters of credit issued under that facility. As a result, we had $75.6 million of unused availability remaining under the ABL Facility at June 30, 2012. In addition, we had $19.6 million of cash on hand at June 30, 2012.

Based on our operating plans and current forecast expectations, we anticipate that our level of cash on hand, cash flows from operations and our borrowing capacity under our ABL Facility will provide sufficient cash availability to meet our ongoing liquidity needs.


5.	Restructuring Charges

Facility Closures

In December 2008, we announced that our Syracuse China manufacturing facility would be shut down in early to mid-2009 in order to reduce costs. The facility was closed on April 9, 2009. See Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 for further discussion.

Since the activities related to our closure of the Syracuse China manufacturing facility were complete as of March 31, 2011, no additional charges were incurred for the three months ended June 30, 2011. We incurred charges of approximately $0.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011 related to other costs net of building site clean-up adjustments in connection with the sale of the property in Syracuse, New York in March 2011. This amount was included in special charges on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss) as detailed in the table below.

Total pretax charge	$	—	$	51		$	51

Fixed Asset and Inventory Write-down

In August 2010, we wrote down decorating assets in our Shreveport, Louisiana facility as a result of our decision to outsource our U.S. decorating business. See Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 for further discussion. During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011, we recorded a $0.1 million income adjustment in the Glass Operations segment. The activities related to our write-down of decorating fixed assets and inventory were complete in the third quarter of 2011.


6.	Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate differs from the United States statutory tax rate primarily due to valuation allowances, changes in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in accruals related to uncertain tax positions and tax planning structures. At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had $2.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively, of gross unrecognized tax benefits, exclusive of interest and penalties.

FASB ASC 740-20, "Income Taxes - Intraperiod Tax Allocation," requires that the provision for income taxes be allocated between continuing operations and other categories of earnings (such as discontinued operations or other comprehensive income) for each tax jurisdiction. In periods in which there is a year-to-date pre-tax loss from continuing operations and pre-tax income in other categories of earnings, the tax provision is first allocated to the other categories of earnings. A related tax benefit is then recorded in continuing operations. A tax benefit of $4.2 million was recorded in our income tax provision for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2012. There was no similar tax benefit recorded for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011. Depending upon the level of our future earnings and losses and their impact on other comprehensive income, it is possible that a tax benefit may be recorded, changed, or reversed in future periods.

Further, our current and future provision for income taxes for 2012 is significantly impacted by valuation allowances. In the

Table of Contents

United States, China, the Netherlands and Portugal we have recorded valuation allowances against our deferred income tax assets. We did not release any valuation allowance for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2012, or the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011. In assessing the need for recording a valuation allowance, we weigh all available positive and negative evidence. Examples of the evidence we consider are cumulative losses in recent years, losses expected in early future years, a history of potential tax benefits expiring unused, and whether there was an unusual, infrequent or extraordinary item to be considered. Based on our analysis of all available evidence, we intend to maintain these allowances until it is more likely than not that the deferred income tax assets will be realized; however, based upon management's assessment, a release of the valuation allowance in China could occur during the next six months. The required accounting for the potential release would have significant deferred tax consequences and would impact earnings in the quarter in which the allowance is released.

Income tax payments consisted of the following:



	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
(dollars in thousands)	2012		2011		2012		2011
Total income tax payments, net of refunds	$	1,122	$	4,579	$	2,615	$	11,186

Cash paid, net	$	306	$	3,208	$	1,191	$	7,688


7.	Pension and Non-pension Postretirement Benefits

We have pension plans covering the majority of our employees. Benefits generally are based on compensation 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 an unfunded supplemental employee retirement plan (SERP) that covers salaried U.S.-based employees of Libbey hired before January 1, 2006. The U.S. pension plans cover the salaried U.S.-based employees of Libbey hired before January 1, 2006 and most hourly U.S.-based employees (excluding employees hired at Shreveport after 2008 and at Toledo after September 30, 2010). The non-U.S. pension plans cover the employees of our wholly owned subsidiaries in the Netherlands and Mexico. The plan in Mexico is not funded.

The components of our net pension expense, including the SERP, are as follows:



Three months ended June 30,	U.S. Plans						Non-U.S. Plans						Total

Table of Contents

During the first half of 2012, we incurred pension settlement charges totaling $0.5 million. The pension settlement charges were triggered by an excess lump sum distribution, which required us to record unrecognized gains and losses in our pension plan accounts.

We provide certain retiree health care and life insurance benefits covering our U.S and Canadian salaried and non-union hourly employees hired before January 1, 2004 and a majority of our union hourly employees (excluding employees hired at Shreveport after 2008 and at Toledo after September 30, 2010). 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. non-pension postretirement plans cover the hourly and salaried U.S.-based employees of Libbey (excluding those mentioned above). The non-U.S. non-pension postretirement plans cover the retirees and active employees of Libbey who are located in Canada. The postretirement benefit plans are not funded.

The provision for our non-pension postretirement benefit expense consists of the following:

In May 2012, we used a portion of the proceeds of our debt refinancing to contribute $79.7 million to our U.S. pension plans to fully fund our target obligations under ERISA. The 2012 pension expense calculation was not adjusted as a result of this discretionary contribution as it was not contemplated in the assumption set used for the expense determination for the year. We have contributed $85.8 million and $94.8 million of cash into our pension plans (including the $79.7 million contribution made to the U.S. pension plans in May 2012) for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. Pension contributions for the remainder of 2012 are estimated to be $1.7 million. Our 2012 estimate of non-pension payments was $4.7 million, and we have paid $1.0 million and $1.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively.

In March 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care Education and Affordability Reconciliation Act (the Acts) were signed into law. The Acts contain provisions that could impact our accounting for retiree medical benefits in future periods. Based on the analysis to date, the impact of provisions in the Acts that are reasonably determinable is not expected to have a material impact on our postretirement benefit plans. We will continue to assess the provisions of the Acts and may consider plan amendments and design changes in future periods to better align these plans with the provisions of the Acts.

______________________________

(1) The effect of employee stock options and restricted stock units, 437,680 and 424,483 shares for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, were anti-dilutive and thus not included in the earnings per share calculation. This amount would have been dilutive if not for the net loss.

When applicable, diluted shares outstanding include the dilutive impact of warrants and restricted stock units. Diluted shares also include the impact of in-the-money employee stock 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-effected proceeds that hypothetically would be received from the exercise of all in-the-money options are assumed to be used to repurchase shares.


9.	Derivatives

We utilize derivative financial instruments to hedge certain interest rate risks associated with our long-term debt, commodity price risks associated with forecasted future natural gas requirements and foreign exchange rate risks associated with transactions denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar. Most of these derivatives, except for the foreign currency contracts, qualify for hedge accounting since the hedges are highly effective, and we have designated and documented contemporaneously the hedging relationships involving these derivative instruments. While we intend to continue to meet the conditions for hedge accounting, if hedges do not qualify as highly effective or if we do not believe that forecasted transactions would occur, the changes in the fair value of the derivatives used as hedges would be reflected in our earnings. All of these contracts were accounted for under FASB ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging.”

Interest Rate Swaps as Fair Value Hedges

We had an interest rate swap agreement in place through April 18, 2012 (Old Rate Agreement) with a notional amount of $80.0 million. On April 18, 2012, the swap was called at fair value. We received proceeds of $3.6 million. During the second quarter, $0.1 million of the carrying value adjustment on debt related to the Old Rate Agreement was amortized into interest expense. Upon the refinancing of the Old Senior Secured Notes, the remaining unamortized balance of $3.5 million of the carrying value adjustment on debt related to the Old Rate Agreement was recognized as a gain in the loss on redemption of debt on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

On June 18, 2012, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement (New Rate Agreement) with a notional amount of $45.0 million that is to mature in 2020. The swap was executed in order to convert a portion of the New Senior Secured Notes fixed rate debt into floating rate debt and maintain a capital structure containing fixed and floating rate debt.

Our fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps are designated and qualify as a fair value hedges. The change in the fair value of the derivative instrument related to the future cash flows (gain or loss on the derivative), as well as the offsetting change in the fair value of the hedged long-term debt attributable to the hedged risk, are recognized in current earnings. We include the gain or loss on the hedged long-term debt in other (expense) income, along with the offsetting loss or gain on the related interest rate swap on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

The following table provides a summary of the gain (loss) recognized on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss):

Commodity Futures Contracts Designated as Cash Flow Hedges

We use commodity futures contracts related to forecasted future North American natural gas requirements. The objective of these futures contracts and other derivatives is to limit the fluctuations in prices paid due to price movements in the underlying commodity. We consider our forecasted natural gas requirements 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 percent to 70 percent of our anticipated requirements, up to eighteen months in the future. The fair values of these instruments are determined from market quotes. As of June 30, 2012, we had commodity contracts for 2,190,000 million British Thermal Units (BTUs) of natural gas. At December 31, 2011, we had commodity contracts for 3,070,000 million BTUs of natural gas.

All of our natural gas derivatives qualify and are designated as cash flow hedges at June 30, 2012. Hedge accounting is applied only when the derivative is deemed to be highly effective at offsetting changes in fair values or anticipated cash flows of the hedged item or transaction. For hedged forecasted transactions, hedge accounting is discontinued if the forecasted transaction is no longer probable to occur, and any previously deferred gains or losses would be recorded to earnings immediately. Changes in the effective portion of the fair value of these hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). The ineffective portion of the change in the fair value of a derivative designated as a cash flow hedge is recognized in current earnings. As the natural gas contracts mature, the accumulated gains (losses) for the respective contracts are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to current expense in cost of sales in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). We paid additional cash of $1.7 million and $1.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $3.2 million and $2.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, due to the difference between the fixed unit rate of our natural gas contracts and the variable unit rate of our natural gas cost from suppliers. Based on our current valuation, we estimate that accumulated losses currently carried in accumulated other comprehensive loss that will be reclassified into earnings over the next twelve months will result in $2.0 million of expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

The following table provides a summary of the effective portion of derivative gain (loss) recognized in other comprehensive income (loss):



	Three months ended June 30,					Six months ended June 30,

Currency Contracts

Our foreign currency exposure arises from transactions denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar primarily associated with our Canadian dollar denominated accounts receivable. We enter into a series of foreign currency contracts to sell Canadian dollars. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had contracts for C$3.7 million and C$3.9 million, respectively. The fair values of these instruments are determined from market quotes. The values of these derivatives will change over time as cash receipts and payments are made and as market conditions change.

Gains (losses) for derivatives that were not designated as hedging instruments are recorded in current earnings as follows:



		Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
(dollars in thousands)		2012		2011		2012			2011
Derivative:	Location:
Currency contracts	Other (expense) income	$	132	$	128	$	(30	)	$	(326	)
Total		$	132	$	128	$	(30	)	$	(326	)

We do not believe we are exposed to more than a nominal amount of credit risk in our interest rate swap, natural gas hedges and currency contracts as the counterparties are established financial institutions. The counterparty for the New Rate Agreement is rated A+ and the counterparties for the other derivative agreements are rated BBB+ or better as of June 30, 2012, by Standard and Poor’s.

12.	Segments

We have two reportable segments defined as follows:

Glass Operations — includes worldwide sales of manufactured and sourced glass tableware and other glass products from domestic and international subsidiaries.

Other Operations — includes worldwide sales of sourced ceramic dinnerware, metal tableware, hollowware and serveware and plastic items. Plastic items were sold through April 28, 2011.

Our measure of profit for our reportable segments is Segment Earnings before Interest and Taxes (Segment EBIT) and excludes amounts related to certain items we consider not representative of ongoing operations as well as certain retained corporate costs. We use Segment EBIT, along with net sales and selected cash flow information, to evaluate performance and to allocate resources. Segment EBIT for reportable segments includes an allocation of some corporate expenses based on both a percentage of sales and direct billings based on the costs of services performed.

Certain activities not related to any particular reportable segment are reported within retained corporate costs. These costs include certain headquarter, administrative and facility costs, and other costs that are global in nature and are not allocable to the reporting segments. Corporate assets primarily include finance fees, capitalized software and income tax assets.

The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in note 2. We do not have any customers who represent 10 percent or more of total sales. Inter-segment sales are consummated at arm’s length and are reflected in eliminations below.

13.	Fair Value

FASB ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. FASB ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into three broad levels as follows:


•	Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.


•	Level 2 — Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly.


•	Level 3 — Unobservable inputs based on our own assumptions.



	Fair Value at										Fair Value at
Asset / (Liability) (dollars in thousands)	June 30, 2012										December 31, 2011
Asset / (Liability) (dollars in thousands)	Level 1		Level 2			Level 3		Total			Level 1		Level 2			Level 3		Total
Commodity futures natural gas contracts	$	—	$	(2,001	)	$	—	$	(2,001	)	$	—	$	(3,688	)	$	—	$	(3,688	)
Currency contracts	—		36			—		36			—		107			—		107
Interest rate agreements	—		(188		)	—		(188		)	—		3,606			—		3,606
Net derivative (liability) asset	$	—	$	(2,153	)	$	—	$	(2,153	)	$	—	$	25		$	—	$	25

The fair values of our commodity futures natural gas contracts and currency contracts are determined using observable market inputs. The fair value of our interest rate agreement is based on the market standard methodology of netting the discounted expected future fixed cash receipts and the discounted future variable cash payments. The variable cash payments are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observed market interest rate forward curves. Since these inputs are observable in active markets over the terms that the instruments are held, the derivatives are classified as Level 2 in the hierarchy. We also evaluate Company and counterparty risk in determining fair values. The commodity futures natural gas contracts and interest rate agreements are hedges of either recorded assets or liabilities or anticipated transactions. Changes in values of the underlying hedged assets and liabilities or anticipated transactions are not reflected in the above table.

The total derivative position is recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows:




Asset / (Liability (dollars in thousands)	June 30, 2012			December 31, 2011
Prepaid and other current assets	$	36		$	107
Derivative asset	10			3,606

15.	Contingencies

We are currently undergoing an unclaimed property audit that is being conducted by various state authorities. The property subject to review in this audit process generally includes unclaimed wages, vendor payments and customer refunds. State escheat laws generally require entities to report and remit abandoned and unclaimed property. Failure to timely report and remit the property can result in assessments that include interest and penalties, in addition to the payment of the escheat liability itself. We may have obligations associated with unclaimed property in an estimated amount of approximately $2.7 million. While we have recorded this estimate as expense in the third quarter of 2011 in cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss), it is too early to determine the ultimate outcome of these audits and, as a result, our actual obligations may be less than or greater than the amount we have recorded. At this time, we believe that the impact of these adjustments is not material to our results of operations.


16.	Property, Plant and Equipment

During the second quarter of 2010, we wrote down certain after-processing equipment within our Glass Operations segment. During the second quarter of 2011, we received a $1.0 million credit from the supplier of this equipment. This was recorded in selling, general and administrative expense and other (expense) income on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

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 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. Our risk factors are set forth in Exhibit 99.1, Operational Factors Affecting Libbey Inc.'s Business and Other Information, “Risk Factors”, in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed May 9, 2012.

Overview

Economic conditions within the U.S. and Canada are expected to remain fragile during the second half of 2012 as political issues and global economic weakness continue to impact the recovery. The European economy continued to soften during the second quarter of 2012, and we expect it to remain weak for the remainder of 2012. In addition, there are signs that the economic growth in China, while still robust by most standards, has slowed significantly. Each of our sales regions within our Glass Operations segment other than Europe showed improvement for the first six months of 2012, excluding the impact of currency. Our China, Mexico and U.S. and Canadian sales regions led our growth for the first six months with increased unit shipments and a favorable mix shift. Net sales within our Mexico and European sales regions decreased during the second quarter of 2012 compared to the year-ago period.

Income from operations grew 24.0 percent, compared to the first half of 2011, increasing to $43.9 million from $35.4 million in the year-ago period. This increase resulted from increased shipments, a better mix of products sold, improved fixed cost absorption, lower utility costs and lower carton costs, partially offset by charges from organizational changes and strategic planning costs incurred in the first half of 2012. We expect to improve our cost structure through these and future selling, general and administrative cost reductions.

Strengthening our balance sheet remains a high priority. On April 18, 2012, Libbey China pre-paid the July 2013 scheduled principal payment of RMB 60.0 million (approximately $9.5 million). On May 18, 2012, we completed the refinancing of substantially all of the existing indebtedness of our wholly-owned subsidiaries Libbey Glass and Libbey Europe. We used the proceeds of the offering of the $450.0 million New Senior Secured Notes to fund the repurchase and redemption of $320.0 million of the Old Senior Secured Notes, pay related fees and expenses, and contribute $79.7 million to our U.S. pension plans to fully fund our target obligations under ERISA. On June 29, 2012, we used the remaining proceeds of the New Senior Secured Notes, together with cash on hand, to redeem the remaining $40.0 million of Old Senior Secured Notes and to pay related fees.

We have two reportable segments defined as follows:

Glass Operations—includes worldwide sales of manufactured and sourced glass tableware and other glass operations from domestic and international subsidiaries.

Other Operations—includes worldwide sales of sourced ceramic dinnerware, metal tableware, hollowware and serveware and plastic items. Plastic items were sold through April 28, 2011.

We believe that EBIT, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP financial measures, are useful metrics for evaluating our financial performance, as they are measures that we use internally to assess our performance. For a reconciliation from net (loss) income to EBIT, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA, see the "Adjusted EBITDA" section below in the Discussion of Second Quarter 2012 Compared with Second Quarter 2011 and the reasons we believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful.


(2)	The three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 include an equipment credit of $0.8 million, net of CEO transition expenses of $0.4 million. The second quarter 2011 also includes a $0.1 million restructuring credit related to the closure of the decorating operations at our Shreveport manufacturing facility. (See notes 5 and 16 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

In addition to item (2) above, the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 include $31.1 million for the write-off of unamortized finance fees and discounts and call premium payments on the ABL Facility and $360.0 million of Old Senior Secured Notes redeemed in May and June 2012, partially offset by the write-off of the debt carrying value adjustment related to the termination of the $80.0 million interest rate swap. The three months ended June 30, 2011 includes a $3.3 million gain on the sale of substantially all of the assets of Traex and an equipment credit of $0.2 million. The six months ended June 30, 2011 includes a $3.3 million gain on the sale of substantially all of the assets of Traex, income of $3.4 million related to the gain on the sale of land at our Libbey Holland facility, a loss of $2.8 million related to the redemption of $40.0 million of Old Senior Secured Notes and an equipment credit of $0.2 million.

Discussion of Second Quarter 2012 Compared to Second Quarter 2011

Net Sales

For the quarter ended June 30, 2012, net sales decreased 2.2 percent to $209.2 million, compared to $214.0 million in the year-ago quarter. The decrease in net sales was attributable to decreased sales in our Glass Operations segment and in our Other Operations segment as our second quarter of 2011 included net sales on Traex products of $1.2 million that did not repeat in 2012 due to the sale of substantially all of the Traex assets in late April, 2011.

Net Sales — Glass Operations

Net sales in the Glass Operations segment were $190.5 million, compared to $194.5 million in the second quarter of 2011, a decrease of 2.0 percent (an increase of 2.0 percent excluding currency fluctuation). Primary contributors to the decreased net sales were a 16.0 percent decrease in net sales within our European sales region (6.2 percent decrease excluding the euro devaluation), a 12.9 percent decrease in net sales within our Mexico sales region (2.7 percent decrease excluding the peso devaluation), both partially offset by a 5.9 percent increase in net sales within our U.S. and Canadian sales region, a 24.2 percent increase in net sales within our China sales region (20.8 percent excluding the impact of currency), and a 4.3 percent increase within our International sales region, compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease in our European sales region is a result of decreased shipments within the business to business channel, a result of the worsening economic conditions in Europe. The decrease in our Mexico sales region is primarily driven by lower retail sales due to what we believe are efforts by our retail customers in Mexico to manage their inventories more tightly. The increase in our China sales region is the result of our change in our go-to market strategy in the domestic Chinese market. Overall net sales within our U.S. and Canadian sales region increased 5.9 percent in the second quarter of 2012 due to increased sales in all channels. Net sales to U.S. and Canadian retail customers increased 7.2 percent, net sales to U.S. and Canadian foodservice glassware customers increased 5.1 percent, and net sales to U.S. and Canadian business to business customers increased 5.5 percent.

Net Sales — Other Operations

Net sales in the Other Operations segment declined by 3.8 percent, from $19.7 million in the second quarter of 2011 (when Traex^® products contributed $1.2 million in net sales) to $18.9 million in the second quarter of 2012. Partially offsetting the decline, which is attributable to the sale of substantially all of the assets of Traex in late April 2011, was an increase in net sales to World Tableware customers of 5.1 percent in the second quarter of 2012. In addition, sales to Syracuse China customers decreased 4.9 percent in the second quarter of 2012 as compared to the second quarter of 2011.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased to $56.3 million in the second quarter of 2012, compared to $49.8 million in the prior year quarter. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 26.9 percent in the second quarter of 2012, compared to 23.3 percent in the prior year period. The primary drivers of the $6.5 million gross profit increase were a $4.1 million impact from changes in sales volume and mix, a $4.1 million increase attributable to increased production activity net of volume-related production costs, lower depreciation expense of $0.6 million and decreased natural gas costs of $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2012 compared to the second quarter of 2011, offset by a $2.3 million adverse currency impact due to the changes in the value of the Mexican peso and increased electricity costs of $1.4 million. As a result of the sale of substantially all of the assets of Traex in late April 2011, the second quarter of 2011 included gross profit of $0.2 million related to Traex.

Income From Operations

Income from operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 increased $4.3 million, to $29.0 million, compared to $24.7 million in the prior year quarter. Income from operations as a percentage of net sales was 13.8 percent for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, compared to 11.5 percent in the prior year quarter. The increase in income from operations is the result of an increase in gross profit (discussed above), net of a $2.2 million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense is attributable to an additional $1.0 million of legal and professional fees, an $0.8 million increase in research and development expense and a $0.9 million increase in benefit expense, offset by a favorable currency impact of $0.7 million.

(Loss) Earnings Before Interest and Income Taxes (EBIT)

EBIT for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 decreased by $29.5 million, to a loss of $(1.7) million from income of $27.8 million in the second quarter of 2011. EBIT as a percentage of net sales decreased to (0.8) percent in the second quarter of 2012, compared to 13.0 percent in the prior year quarter. The decrease in EBIT is a result of the $31.1 million loss on redemption of debt in the second quarter of 2012, partially offset by an increase in income from operations (discussed above). In addition, the second quarter of 2011 included a $3.3 million gain on the sale of substantially all of the assets of Traex.

Segment EBIT — Glass Operations

Segment EBIT increased to $38.3 million in the second quarter of 2012, compared to $30.0 million in the second quarter of 2011. Segment EBIT as a percentage of net sales for Glass Operations increased to 20.1 percent in the second quarter of 2012, compared to 15.4 percent in the prior-year period. The primary drivers of the $8.3 million increase in Segment EBIT were a $5.2 million favorable impact from changes in sales volume and mix, a $3.9 million increase attributable to increased production activity net of volume-related production costs, and a $0.6 million decrease in depreciation and amortization. Partially offsetting these favorable items were a $0.6 million adverse currency impact due to the changes in the value of the Mexican peso and an $0.8 million increase in costs primarily related to labor and benefits, repair and maintenance, and electricity in Mexico.

Segment EBIT — Other Operations

Segment EBIT decreased by $0.1 million, or 2.3 percent, to $3.7 million for the second quarter of 2012, compared to $3.8 million in the prior-year period. Segment EBIT as a percentage of net sales for Other Operations increased to 19.4 percent for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, compared to 19.1 percent in the prior-year quarter. Although shipments to World Tableware and Syracuse China customers increased, cost of sourced product was negatively affected by higher wages in China and higher costs of other raw materials.

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation & Amortization (EBITDA)

EBITDA decreased by $30.2 million in the second quarter 2012, to $8.6 million, compared to $38.8 million in the year-ago quarter. As a percentage of net sales, EBITDA decreased to 4.1 percent in the second quarter of 2012, from 18.1 percent in the year-ago quarter. The key contributors to the decrease in EBITDA were those factors discussed above under (Loss) Earnings Before Interest and Income Taxes (EBIT).

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA increased by $4.9 million in the second quarter of 2012, to $39.7 million, compared to $34.8 million in the second quarter of 2011. As a percentage of net sales, Adjusted EBITDA was 19.0 percent for the second quarter of 2012, compared to 16.3 percent in the year-ago quarter. The key contributors to the increase in Adjusted EBITDA were those factors discussed above under Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation & Amortization (EBITDA) and the elimination of the special items noted below in the reconciliation of net (loss) income to EBIT, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.

We sometimes refer to data derived from condensed 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, we use non-GAAP data internally to assess performance. 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.

We define EBIT as net (loss) income before interest expense and income taxes. The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure is net (loss) income.

We believe that EBIT is an important supplemental measure for investors in evaluating operating performance in that it provides insight into company profitability. Libbey’s senior management uses this measure internally to measure profitability. EBIT also allows for a measure of comparability to other companies with different capital and legal structures, which accordingly may be subject to different interest rates and effective tax rates.

The non-GAAP measure of EBIT does have certain limitations. It does not include interest expense, which is a necessary and ongoing part of our cost structure resulting from debt incurred to expand operations. Because this is a material and recurring item, any measure that excludes it has a material limitation. EBIT may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

We believe that EBITDA is an important supplemental measure for investors in evaluating operating performance in that it provides insight into company profitability and cash flow. Libbey’s senior management uses this measure internally to measure profitability and to set performance targets for managers. It also has been used regularly as one of the means of publicly providing guidance on possible future results. EBITDA also allows for a measure of comparability to other companies with different capital and legal structures, which accordingly may be subject to different interest rates and effective tax rates, and to companies that may incur different depreciation and amortization expenses or impairment charges.

The non-GAAP measure of EBITDA does have certain limitations. It does not include interest expense, which is a necessary and ongoing part of our cost structure resulting from debt incurred to expand operations and fund our U.S. pension plans. EBITDA also excludes depreciation and amortization expenses. Because these are material and recurring items, any measure that excludes them has a material limitation. EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

We present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it assists investors and analysts in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating

Table of Contents

performance. In addition, we use Adjusted EBITDA internally to measure profitability and to set performance targets for managers.

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool. Some of these limitations are:


•	Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;


•	Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;


•	Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debts;


•	Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;


•	Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the impact of certain cash charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations; and


•	Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Net (Loss) Income and Diluted Net (Loss) Income Per Share

We recorded a net loss of $(10.1) million, or $(0.49) per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2012, compared to income of $15.4 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter. Net income as a percentage of net sales was (4.8) percent in the second quarter of 2012, compared to 7.2 percent in the year-ago quarter. The decrease in net (loss) income and diluted net (loss) income per share is generally due to the factors discussed in EBIT above, a $0.8 million reduction in interest expense, and a $3.1 million decrease in the provision for income taxes. The reduction in interest expense is primarily the result of lower interest rates. The effective tax rate was a benefit of 12.8 percent for the second quarter of 2012, compared to an expense of 9.3 percent in year-ago quarter primarily due to the net loss and intraperiod tax allocations. The effective tax rate was also influenced by jurisdictions with recorded valuation allowances, changes in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates and changes in accruals related to uncertain tax positions.

Discussion of First Six Months 2012 Compared to First Six Months 2011

Net Sales

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, net sales increased 0.5 percent to $397.1 million, compared to $395.0 million in the year-ago period. The increase in net sales was attributable to increased sales in our Glass Operations segment, offset by decreased sales in Other Operations as the first half of 2011 included net sales on Traex^® products of $4.8 million (prior to the sale of substantially all of the Traex assets in late April, 2011) which were no longer offered.



	Six months ended June 30,

Other Operations	35,696			38,851
Eliminations	(439		)	(363		)
Consolidated	$	397,076		$	395,028

Net Sales — Glass Operations

Net sales in the Glass Operations segment were $361.8 million in the first six months of 2012 compared to $356.5 million in the first six months of 2011, an increase of 1.5 percent. Primary contributors to the increased net sales were a 47.9 percent increase in net sales within our China sales region (42.8 percent excluding the impact of currency), a 5.3 percent increase within our U.S. and Canadian sales regions, and a 3.1 percent increase within our International sales region, partially offset by a 10.1 percent decrease in the European sales region (2.6 percent decrease excluding the euro effect), and a 4.6 percent decrease in net sales within our Mexico sales region (3.7 percent increase excluding the peso effect), compared to the first six months of 2011. The increase in our China sales region is the result of our change in our go-to market strategy in the domestic Chinese

Table of Contents

market. Net sales to U.S. and Canadian foodservice glassware customers increased 7.3 percent due to increased shipments, net sales to U.S. and Canadian business to business customers increased 5.0 percent due to increased shipments, and net sales to U.S. and Canadian retail customers increased 3.3 percent due to a more favorable mix of products sold. The decrease in our European sales region is a result of decreased shipments attributable to the uncertain European economic conditions. Excluding the effects of currency, the Mexican sales region increase in sales was driven by increased shipments.

Net Sales — Other Operations

Net sales in the Other Operations segment declined by 8.1 percent from $38.9 million in the first half of 2011, when Traex^® products contributed $4.8 million in net sales, to $35.7 million in the second half of 2012. Partially offsetting the decline, which is attributable to the sale of substantially all of the assets of Traex in April 2011, were increases in net sales to World Tableware customers of 5.8 percent and to Syracuse China customers of 2.0 percent in the first half of 2012 as compared to the first half of 2011.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased to $99.4 million in the first six months of 2012, compared to $86.0 million in the prior year period. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 25.0 percent in the first half of 2012, compared to 21.8 percent in the prior year period. The primary drivers of the $13.4 million gross profit increase were a $9.7 million impact from changes in sales volume and mix, a $5.4 million increase attributable to increased production activity net of volume-related production costs, and lower natural gas costs of $1.7 million in the first half of 2012 compared to the first half of 2011, offset by a $3.8 million adverse currency impact due to the changes in the value of the Mexican peso. The first half of 2011 included gross profit of $1.0 million related to Traex, substantially all of the assets of which we sold in late April 2011.

Income From Operations

Income from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2012 increased $8.5 million, to $43.9 million, compared to $35.4 million in the prior year period. Income from operations as a percentage of net sales was 11.1 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to 9.0 percent in the prior-year period. The increase in income from operations is the result of an increase in gross profit (discussed above), net of a $4.9 million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense is attributable to $1.1 million of severance expense related to organizational changes, $0.9 million of bad debt expense, $1.4 million of additional legal and professional fees, $0.3 million in labor and benefits primarily related to a pension settlement charge triggered by excess lump sum distributions in the first quarter of 2012, and $0.8 million in research and development expenses.

Earnings Before Interest and Income Taxes (EBIT)

EBIT for the six months ended June 30, 2012 decreased by $26.0 million, or 67.3 percent, to $12.7 million from $38.7 million in the first six months of 2011. EBIT as a percentage of net sales decreased to 3.2 percent in the first six months of 2012, compared to 9.8 percent in the prior year period. The decrease in EBIT is a result of a $28.3 million increase in loss on redemption of debt from the debt refinancing (write-off of unamortized finance fees and discounts and call premium payments related to the redemption of Old Senior Secured Notes), partially offset by an increase in income from operations (discussed above). 2011 also included a $3.4 million gain on the sale of land at our Libbey Holland facility and a $3.3 million gain on the sale of substantially all of the assets of Traex.

Segment EBIT — Glass Operations

Segment EBIT increased to $60.3 million in the first half of 2012, compared to $47.4 million in the first half of 2011. Segment EBIT as a percentage of net sales increased to 16.7 percent in the first six months of 2012, compared to 13.3 percent in the prior year period. The primary drivers of the $12.9 million increase in Segment EBIT were a $12.4 million favorable impact from changes in sales volume and mix and a $6.7 million increase attributable to increased production activity net of volume-related production costs. Offsetting these favorable items were a $2.8 million adverse currency impact due to the changes in the value of the Mexican peso and a $3.4 million increase in costs primarily related to labor and benefits, repair and maintenance, selling and marketing costs, and energy costs.

Segment EBIT — Other Operations

Segment EBIT increased by $0.1 million, or 1.5 percent, to $6.7 million for the first half of 2012, compared to $6.6 million in the prior year period. Segment EBIT as a percentage of net sales increased to 18.9 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to 17.1 percent in the prior-year six-month period. Increased sales to World Tableware and Syracuse China customers, partially offset by $0.6 million of Segment EBIT related to Traex included in the first half of 2011, contributed to the increased Segment EBIT.

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation & Amortization (EBITDA)

EBITDA decreased by $27.1 million in the first six months of 2012, to $33.5 million, compared to $60.6 million in the year-ago period. As a percentage of net sales, EBITDA decreased to 8.4 percent in the first half of 2012, from 15.3 percent in the year-ago period. The key contributors to the decrease in EBITDA were those factors discussed above under Earnings Before Interest and Income Taxes (EBIT).

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA increased by $8.5 million in the first half of 2012, to $64.6 million, compared to $56.0 million (which included a $0.8 million contribution related to Traex) in the first half of 2011. As a percentage of net sales, Adjusted EBITDA was 16.3 percent for the first six months of 2012, compared to 14.2 percent in the year-ago period. The key contributors to the increase in Adjusted EBITDA were those factors discussed above under Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation & Amortization (EBITDA) and the elimination of the special items noted below in the reconciliation of net (loss) income to EBIT, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.

In 2012, loss on redemption of debt includes the write-off of unamortized finance fees and discounts and call premium payments on the ABL Facility and $360.0 million Old Senior Secured Notes redeemed in May and June 2012, partially offset by the write-off of the debt carrying value adjustment related to the termination of the $80.0 million interest rate swap. The six month period in 2011 includes the write-off of unamortized finance fees and discounts and call premium payments on the $40.0 million Old Senior Secured Notes redeemed in March 2011.

Net (Loss) Income and Diluted Net (Loss) Income Per Share

We recorded a net loss of $(9.5) million, or $(0.46) per diluted share, in the first half of 2012, compared to income of $14.4 million, or $0.69 per diluted share, in the year-ago period. Net (loss) income as a percentage of net sales was (2.4) percent in the first half of 2012, compared to 3.6 percent in the first six months of 2011. The decrease in net (loss) income and diluted net (loss) income per share is generally due to the factors discussed in Earnings Before Interest and Income Taxes (EBIT) above, partially offset by a $2.0 million reduction in interest expense, and a $0.1 million decrease in the provision for income taxes. The reduction in interest expense is primarily the result of a mix of lower debt and interest rates in various months throughout the first half of the year. The effective tax rate increased to 23.3 percent for the first half of 2012, compared to 11.6 percent in year-ago period primarily due to intraperiod tax allocations. The effective tax rate was also influenced by jurisdictions with recorded valuation allowances, changes in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates and changes in accruals related to uncertain tax positions.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

Historically, cash flows generated from operations, cash on hand and our borrowing capacity under our ABL Facility have enabled us to meet our cash requirements, including capital expenditures and working capital requirements. At June 30, 2012, we had no borrowings outstanding under our ABL Facility, although we had $9.5 million of letters of credit issued under that facility. As a result, we had $75.6 million of unused availability remaining under the ABL Facility at June 30, 2012. In addition, we had $19.6 million of cash on hand at June 30, 2012.

On April 18, 2012, Libbey China pre-paid the July 2013 scheduled principal payment of RMB 60.0 million (approximately $9.5 million), incurring no fees, penalties or change in the remaining payment schedule.

On May 18, 2012, we completed the refinancing of substantially all of the existing indebtedness of our wholly-owned subsidiaries Libbey Glass and Libbey Europe. We used the proceeds of the offering of the $450.0 million New Senior Secured Notes to fund the repurchase and redemption of $320.0 million of the Old Senior Secured Notes, pay related fees and expenses, and contribute $79.7 million to our U.S. pension plans to fully fund our target obligations under ERISA. On June 29, 2012, we used the remaining proceeds of the New Senior Secured Notes, together with cash on hand, to redeem the remaining $40.0 million of Old Senior Secured Notes and to pay related fees.

Working Capital

The following table presents our working capital components:



(dollars in thousands, except percentages and DSO, DIO, DPO and DWC)	June 30, 2012			December 31, 2011
Accounts receivable — net	$	87,650		$	88,045

___________________________________________________


(1)	Days sales outstanding (DSO) measures the number of days it takes to turn receivables into cash.


(2)	Days inventory outstanding (DIO) measures the number of days it takes to turn inventory into cash.


(3)	Days payable outstanding (DPO) measures the number of days it takes to pay the balances of our accounts payable.


(4)	Working capital is defined as net accounts receivable plus net inventories less accounts payable. See below for further discussion as to the reasons we believe this non-GAAP financial measure is useful.


(5)	Days working capital (DWC) measures the number of days it takes to turn our working capital into cash.

DSO, DIO, DPO and DWC are calculated using the last twelve months' net sales as the denominator and are based on a 365-day year.

We believe that working capital is important supplemental information for investors in evaluating liquidity in that it provides insight into the availability of net current resources to fund our ongoing operations. Working capital is a measure used by management in internal evaluations of cash availability and operational performance.

Working capital is used in conjunction with and in addition to results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Working capital is neither intended to represent nor be an alternative to any measure of liquidity and operational performance recorded under U.S. GAAP. Working capital may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Working capital (as defined above) was $200.6 million at June 30, 2012, an increase of $25.5 million from December 31, 2011. Our working capital normally increases during the first half of the year due to the seasonality of our business. In particular, inventory normally increases to prepare for seasonally higher orders that typically exceed production levels in the later part of the year. This quarter, our increase is primarily due to additional inventories resulting from increased production levels. The impact of currency increased total working capital by $0.7 million at June 30, 2012, primarily driven by the Mexican peso, with a partial offset by the Euro. As a result of the factors above, working capital as a percentage of last twelve-month net sales increased to 24.5 percent at June 30, 2012 from 21.4 percent at December 31, 2011. Working capital as a percentage of last twelve-month net sales at June 30, 2012 is improved from that of 25.2 percent at June 30, 2011.

(1)	See “Derivatives” below and notes 5 and 9 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.


(2)	The total borrowings — net includes notes payable, long-term debt due within one year and long-term debt as stated in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We had total borrowings of $477.6 million and $397.6 million at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The $80.0 million increase in borrowings was the result of the previously discussed refinancing and the contribution of $79.7 million to our U.S. pension plans to fully fund our target obligations under ERISA.

Of our total borrowings, $71.6 million, or approximately 15.0 percent, was subject to variable interest rates at June 30, 2012. A change of one percentage point in such rates would result in a change in interest expense of approximately $0.7 million on an annual basis.

Included in interest expense is the amortization of discounts, warrants and financing fees. These items amounted to $0.3 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $1.4 million and $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Cash Flow

________________________________________

(1) We define Free Cash Flow as net cash (used in) provided by operating activities less capital expenditures plus proceeds from asset sales and other (including the sale of Traex assets). The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure is net cash provided by (used in) operating activities.

We believe that Free Cash Flow is important supplemental information for investors in evaluating cash flow performance in that it provides insight into the cash flow available to fund such things as discretionary debt service, acquisitions and other strategic investment opportunities. It is a measure of performance we use to internally evaluate the overall performance of the business.

Free Cash Flow is used in conjunction with and in addition to results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Free Cash Flow is neither intended to represent nor be an alternative to the measure of net cash provided by (used in) operating activities

recorded under U.S. GAAP. Free Cash Flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Discussion of Second Quarter 2012 vs. Second Quarter 2011 Cash Flow

Our net cash used in operating activities was $(52.4) million in the second quarter of 2012, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $29.9 million in the year-ago quarter, a reduction of $82.3 million. The major factor impacting cash flow from operations was the unfavorable cash flow of $81.5 million in changes from the pension and non-pension postretirement benefits, which includes the $79.7 million contribution to the U.S. pension plans from the New Senior Secured Note proceeds.

Our net cash (used in) provided by investing activities was $(5.1) million and $3.5 million in the second quarter of 2012 and 2011, respectively. The second quarter of 2011 included $12.8 million in proceeds on the sale of substantially all of the assets of Traex. Offsetting this was a reduction in capital expenditures of $4.5 million in the second quarter of 2012 as compared to the prior year quarter.

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $44.7 million in the second quarter of 2012, compared to $(2.6) million in the year-ago quarter. Second quarter 2012 reflects New Senior Secured Note proceeds of $450.0 million, offset by Old Senior Note payments of $360.0 million, call premium payments of $23.6 million, debt issuance costs of $12.2 million, and other debt payments of $9.6 million. During the second quarter of 2011, we repaid $2.2 million of borrowings on our ABL facility and incurred debt issuance costs and other of $0.3 million.

Our Free Cash Flow was $(57.6) million during the second quarter of 2012, compared to $33.5 million in the year-ago quarter, a reduction of $91.0 million. The primary contributors to this change were the unfavorable cash flow from operating activities, primarily driven by funding our U.S. pension plans of $79.7 million and earlier interest payments and the prior year cash proceeds on the sale of Traex assets and other asset sales, offset by a decrease in capital expenditures in the current period, all as discussed above.

Discussion of First Six Months 2012 vs. First Six Months 2011 Cash Flow

Our net cash used in operating activities was $(71.5) million in the first six months of 2012, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $6.8 million in the year-ago period, a reduction of $78.4 million. The major factor impacting cash flow from operations was the unfavorable cash flow of $85.5 million in changes from the pension and non-pension postretirement benefits, which includes the $79.7 million contribution to the U.S. pension plans from the New Senior Secured Note proceeds.

Our net cash used in investing activities was $(11.4) million and $(0.4) million in the first six months of 2012 and 2011, respectively. The first half of 2012 included $11.8 million in capital expenditures, offset by proceeds of $0.4 million from asset sales. The first half of 2011 included $18.4 million in capital expenditures, offset by proceeds of $12.8 million on the sale of substantially all of the assets of Traex and $5.2 million from other asset sales.

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $44.3 million in the first six months of 2012, compared to $(39.2) million in the year-ago period. The first half of 2012 reflects New Senior Secured Note proceeds of $450.0 million, offset by Old Senior Note payments of $360.0 million, call premium payments of $23.6 million, debt issuance costs of $12.2 million, and other debt payments of $10.0 million. During the first six months of 2011, we redeemed $40.0 million of our Old Senior Secured Notes, paid a related call premium of $1.2 million and incurred debt issuance costs of $0.4 million, partially offset by $2.1 million of borrowings on our ABL facility and $0.5 million from stock options exercised.

At June 30, 2012 our cash balance was $19.6 million, a decrease of $38.7 million from $58.3 million at December 31, 2011.

Our Free Cash Flow was $(82.9) million during the first six months of 2012, compared to $6.5 million in the first six months of 2011, a reduction of $89.4 million. The primary contributors to this change were the unfavorable cash flow from operating activities, primarily driven by funding our U.S. pension plans of $79.7 million and earlier interest payments and the prior year cash proceeds on the sale of Traex assets and other asset sales, offset by a decrease in capital expenditures in the current period, all as discussed above.

Derivatives

Table of Contents

On June 18, 2012, we entered into an Interest Rate Agreement (New Rate Agreement) with a notional amount of $45.0 million that is to mature in 2020. The New Rate Agreement was executed in order to convert a portion of the New Senior Secured Notes fixed rate debt into floating rate debt and maintain a capital structure containing fixed and floating rate debt. Prior to May 15, 2015, but not more than once in any twelve-month period, the counterparty may call up to 10 percent of the New Rate Agreement at a call price of 103 percent. The New Rate Agreement is callable at the counterparty’s option, in whole or in part, at any time on or after May 15, 2015 at set call premiums. The variable interest rate for our borrowings related to the New Rate Agreement at June 30, 2012, excluding applicable fees, is 5.73 percent. This New Rate Agreement expires on May 15, 2020. Total remaining New Senior Secured Notes not covered by the New Rate Agreement have a fixed interest rate of 6.875 percent per year through May 15, 2020. If the counterparty to this New Rate Agreement were to fail to perform, this New Rate Agreement would no longer afford us a variable rate. However, we do not anticipate non-performance by the counterparty. The interest rate swap counterparty was rated A+, as of June 30, 2012, by Standard and Poor’s.

The fair market value for the New Rate Agreement at June 30, 2012, was a $(0.2) million liability. The fair value of the New Rate Agreement is based on the market standard methodology of netting the discounted expected future fixed cash receipts and the discounted future variable cash payments. The variable cash payments are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observed market interest rate forward curves.

We also use commodity futures contracts related to forecasted future North American natural gas requirements. The objective of these futures contracts is to reduce the effects of fluctuations and price movements in the underlying commodity. We consider our forecasted natural gas requirements 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 percent to 70 percent of our anticipated requirements up to eighteen months in the future. The fair values of these instruments are determined from market quotes. At June 30, 2012, we had commodity futures contracts for 2,190,000 million British Thermal Units (BTUs) of natural gas with a fair market value of a $(2.0) million liability. We have hedged a portion of our forecasted transactions through June 2013. At December 31, 2011, we had commodity futures contracts for 3,070,000 million BTUs of natural gas with a fair market value of a $(3.7) million liability. The counterparties for these derivatives were rated BBB+ or better as of June 30, 2012, by Standard & Poor’s.

Contractual Obligations

The following table presents our existing contractual obligations at June 30, 2012 and related future cash requirements:



	Payments Due by Period
Contractual Obligations ⁽¹⁾ (dollars in thousands)	Total		Less than 1 Year		1-3 Years		3-5 Years		More than 5 Years

_________________________


(1)	Amounts reported in local currencies have been translated at June 30, 2012 exchange rates.


(2)	The obligations for interest payments are based on June 30, 2012 debt levels and interest rates.


(3)	It is difficult to estimate future cash contributions as they are a function of actual investment returns, withdrawals from the plan, changes in interest rates, and other factors uncertain at this time.

In addition to the above, we have commercial commitments secured by letters of credit and guarantees. Our letters of credit outstanding at June 30, 2012, totaled $9.5 million.

We are unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate as to when cash settlement with taxing authorities may occur for our unrecognized tax benefits. Therefore, our liability for unrecognized tax benefits is not included in the table above. See note 8 to our December 31, 2011 Consolidated Financial Statements filed in our Form 10-K for additional information.

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, RMB or Mexican peso that could reduce the cost competitiveness of our products compared to foreign competition.

Interest Rates

We have an Interest Rate Agreement (New Rate Agreement) with respect to $45.0 million of debt in order to convert a portion of the New Senior Secured Notes fixed rate debt into floating rate debt and maintain a capital structure containing fixed and floating rate debt. The interest rate for our borrowings related to the New Rate Agreement at June 30, 2012 is 5.73 percent per year. The New Rate Agreement expires on May 15, 2020. Total remaining New Senior Secured Notes not covered by the New Rate Agreement have a fixed interest rate of 6.875 percent. If the counterparty to the New Rate Agreement were to fail to perform, the New Rate Agreement would no longer provide the desired results. However, we do not anticipate nonperformance by the counterparty. The counterparty was rated A+ as of June 30, 2012 by Standard and Poor’s.

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 manufacturing operations in North America. The objective of these futures contracts is to limit the fluctuations in prices paid and potential volatility in earnings or cash flows from price movements in the underlying natural gas commodity. We consider the forecasted natural gas requirements of our 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 percent to 70 percent of our anticipated requirements up to six quarters in the future. For our natural gas requirements that are not hedged, we are subject to changes in the price of natural gas, which affect our earnings. If the counterparties to these futures contracts were to fail to perform, we would no longer be protected from natural gas fluctuations by the futures contracts. However, we do not anticipate nonperformance by these counterparties. All counterparties were rated BBB+ or better by Standard and Poor’s as of June 30, 2012.

Retirement Plans

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 benefit obligations and related expense. Changes in the equity and debt securities markets affect our pension plans' asset performance and related pension expense. Sensitivity to these key market risk factors is as follows:


•	A change of 1.0 percent in the discount rate would change our total annual pension and nonpension postretirement expense by approximately $4.5 million.


•	A change of 1.0 percent in the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets would change annual pension expense by approximately $2.4 million.


Item 4.	Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) reports are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’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 cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

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 our 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

Table of Contents

the reasonable assurance level.

There has been no change in our 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.

We announced on December 10, 2002, that our Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to 2,500,000 shares of our common stock in the open market and negotiated purchases. There is no expiration date for this plan. In 2003, 1,500,000 shares of our common stock were purchased for $38.9 million. No additional shares were purchased from 2004 through the six months ended June 30, 2012. Our ABL Facility and the indentures governing the New Senior Secured Notes significantly restrict our ability to repurchase additional shares.
