NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Dollars in thousands, except per share data
(unaudited)
1. Description of the Business
Libbey is the leading producer of glass tableware products in the Western Hemisphere, in addition to supplying to key markets throughout the world. With roots dating back to 1818, we have the largest manufacturing, distribution and service network among North American glass tableware manufacturers. We design and market an extensive line of high-quality glass tableware, ceramic dinnerware, metal flatware, hollowware and serveware, and plastic items to a broad group of customers in the foodservice, retail, business-to-business and industrial markets. We own and operate two glass tableware manufacturing plants in the United States as well as glass tableware manufacturing plants in the Netherlands, Portugal, China and Mexico. We also own and operate a ceramic dinnerware plant in New York and a plastics plant in Wisconsin. In addition, we import products from overseas in order to complement our line of manufactured items. The combination of manufacturing and procurement 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, as amended, 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 any amendments to those reports. These reports are made available on the website as soon as reasonably practicable after their filing with, or furnishing to, the Securities and Exchange Commission.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
See our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, 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 31st. Prior to June 16, 2006, we recorded our 49 percent interest in Crisa using the equity method. On June 16, 2006, we acquired the remaining 51 percent of Crisa; as a result and effective that date, Crisa’s results are included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Prior to October 13, 2006, we owned 95 percent of Crisal-Cristalaria Automatica S.A. (Crisal). The 5 percent equity interest of Crisal that we did not own prior to October 13, 2006 is shown as minority interest in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. On October 13, 2006, we acquired the remaining 5 percent of Crisal. 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 Operations
Net sales in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations 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, royalty expense 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. Translation adjustments are recorded in other income (expense), where the U.S. dollar is the functional currency.

Table of Contents

Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred 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 tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. FAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” requires that a valuation allowance be recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Deferred 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, we have recorded a net deferred tax asset. Losses before income taxes have been incurred in recent years and, though the risk of not realizing the net deferred tax asset exists, we believe it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax asset will be realized through loss carry backs and the effects of tax planning.
On October 1, 2007, Mexico enacted tax reform legislation which will take effect on January 1, 2008. The Company is studying the effect of the new business flat tax or IETU. At the present time, the new tax is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense
We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123-R, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS No. 123-R”). Stock-based compensation cost is measured based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued. SFAS No. 123-R applies to all of our outstanding unvested stock-based payment awards as of January 1, 2006, and all prospective awards using the modified prospective transition method without restatement of prior periods. Stock-based compensation expense charged to the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, was $0.9 million and $2.5 million, respectively. The stock-based compensation expense charged to the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, was $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively.
New Accounting Standards
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 is effective for the first interim or annual reporting period for the first fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2006. On January 1, 2007, we adopted FIN 48. FIN 48 clarified the accounting for income taxes by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 applies to all tax positions for income taxes accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” See Note 7 for the impact of applying the provisions of FIN 48.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. This statement clarifies how to measure fair value as permitted under other accounting pronouncements but does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some companies, the application of this statement will change current practice. We will be required to adopt SFAS No. 157 as of January 1, 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact that SFAS No. 157 will have on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an Amendment of SFAS No. 115” (“SFAS No. 159”), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. This statement permits an entity to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value at specified election dates. Subsequent unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be reported in earnings. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of this statement on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the prior year’s financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation used in the current year financial statements.

4. Acquisitions
On June 16, 2006, we purchased from Vitro, S.A. de C.V. the remaining 51 percent of the shares of Vitrocrisa Holding, S. de R.L. de C.V. and related companies (Crisa), located in Monterrey, Mexico, that we did not previously own. The purchase price was $80.0 million in addition to $4.9 million of acquisition costs. In addition, we refinanced approximately $71.9 million of Crisa’s existing indebtedness, $23.0 million of which we guaranteed prior to our purchase of the remaining 51 percent of the shares of Crisa. In connection with the acquisition, Crisa transferred to Vitro the pension liability for Crisa employees who had retired as of the closing date. Vitro also agreed to forgive $0.4 million of net intercompany payables owed to it and to defer receipt of approximately $9.4 million of net intercompany payables until August 15, 2006, and to defer receipt of approximately $19.7 million of net intercompany payables until January 15, 2008. In addition, Vitro waived its right to receive profit sharing payments of approximately $1.3 million from Libbey under a now-terminated distribution agreement. Crisa transferred to Vitro real estate (land and buildings) on which one of Crisa’s two manufacturing facilities is located, but Crisa retained the right to occupy the facility transferred to Vitro for up to three years. Concurrently, Vitro transferred to Crisa ownership of the land on which a leased, state-of-the-

art distribution center is located, along with racks and conveyors that Crisa leased from an affiliate of Vitro. Also, Vitro agreed not to compete with Crisa anywhere in the world (with limited exceptions) for five years.
Crisa is one of the largest glass tableware manufacturers in Latin America and has a significant percentage of the glass tableware market in Mexico. This acquisition is consistent with our strategy to expand our manufacturing platform into low-cost countries in order to become a more cost-competitive source of high-quality glass tableware.
There has been no change in the purchase price allocations since the second quarter 2007 when such allocations were finalized.
Crisa’s results of operations are included in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements starting June 16, 2006. Prior to June 16, 2006, 49 percent of Crisa’s earnings were accounted for under the equity method.
The pro forma unaudited results of operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006, assuming we had consummated the acquisition of Crisa as of January 1, 2006, are as follows:

5. Borrowings
Our borrowings, prior to the refinancing consummated on June 16, 2006, consisted of a revolving credit and swing line facility permitting borrowings up to an aggregate total of $195.0 million, $100.0 million of privately placed senior notes, a $2.7 million promissory note in connection with the purchase of our Laredo, Texas warehouse, a euro-based working capital line for a maximum of 10.0 million, and other borrowings including the RMB Loan Contract described below and other debt related to Crisal.
On June 16, 2006, Libbey Glass Inc. issued, pursuant to private offerings, $306.0 million aggregate principal amount of floating rate senior secured notes (Senior Notes) and $102.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior subordinated secured pay-in-kind notes (PIK Notes), both due 2011. Concurrently, Libbey Glass Inc. entered into a new $150 million Asset Based Loan facility (ABL Facility) expiring in 2010.
Proceeds from these transactions immediately were used to repay existing bank and private placement indebtedness. In addition, proceeds were used for the acquisition of the remaining 51 percent equity interest in Crisa, for $80.0 million, bringing our ownership of Crisa to 100 percent; for repayment of existing Crisa indebtedness of approximately $71.9 million; and for related fees, expenses and redemption premiums of Libbey and Crisa.

ABL Facility
The ABL Facility is with a group of six banks and provides for a revolving credit and swing line facility permitting borrowings for Libbey Glass and Libbey Europe up to an aggregate of $150.0 million, with Libbey Europe’s borrowings being limited to $75.0 million. Borrowings under the ABL Facility mature December 16, 2010. Swing line borrowings are limited to $15.0 million, with swing line borrowings for Libbey Europe being limited to 7.5 million. Swing line U.S. dollar borrowings bear interest calculated at the prime rate plus the Applicable Rate for ABR (Alternate Base Rate) Loans, 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 ABR Loans and Eurocurrency Loans vary depending on our aggregate remaining availability. The Applicable Rates for ABR Loans and Eurocurrency Loans were 0 percent and 1.75 percent, respectively, at September 30, 2007. There were no Libbey Glass borrowings under the facility at September 30, 2007, while Libbey Europe had outstanding borrowings of $12.8 million at September 30, 2007, at an interest rate of 6.54 percent.
All borrowings under the ABL Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in (i) substantially all assets of (a) Libbey Glass and (b) substantially all of Libbey Glass’s present and future direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries, (ii) (a) 100 percent of the stock of Libbey Glass, (b) 100 percent of the stock of substantially all of Libbey Glass’s present and future direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries, (c) 100 percent of the non-voting stock of substantially all of Libbey Glass’s first-tier present and future foreign subsidiaries and (d) 65 percent of the voting stock of substantially all of Libbey Glass’s first-tier present and future foreign subsidiaries, and (iii) substantially all proceeds and products of the property and assets described in clauses (i) and (ii) of this sentence. Additionally, borrowings by Libbey Europe under the ABL Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in (i) substantially all of the assets of Libbey Europe, the parent of Libbey Europe and certain of its subsidiaries, (ii) 100 percent of the stock of Libbey Europe and certain subsidiaries of Libbey Europe, and (iii) substantially all proceeds and products of the property and assets described in clauses (i) and (ii) of this sentence.
We pay a Commitment Fee, as defined by the ABL Facility, on the total credit provided under the Facility. The Commitment Fee varies depending on our aggregate availability. The Commitment Fee was 0.25 percent at September 30, 2007. No compensating balances are required by the Agreement. The Agreement does not require compliance with restrictive financial covenants, unless aggregate unused availability falls below $25.0 million.
The borrowing base under the ABL Facility is determined by a monthly analysis of the eligible accounts receivable, inventory and fixed assets. The borrowing base is the sum of (a) 85 percent of eligible accounts receivable, (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 and (c) the lesser of $25.0 million and the aggregate of (i) 75 percent of the NOLV of eligible equipment and (ii) 50 percent of the fair market value of eligible real property.

The available total borrowing base is offset by real estate and ERISA reserves totaling $8.0 million and mark-to-market reserves for natural gas and interest rate swaps of $3.8 million. The ABL Facility also provides for the issuance of $30.0 million of letters of credit, which are applied against the $150.0 million limit. At September 30, 2007, we had $8.4 million in letters of credit outstanding under the ABL Facility. Remaining unused availability on the ABL Facility was $105.0 million at September 30, 2007.
Senior Notes
Libbey Glass and Libbey Inc. entered into a purchase agreement pursuant to which Libbey Glass agreed to sell $306.0 million aggregate principal amount of floating rate senior secured notes due 2011 to the initial purchasers named in a private placement. The net proceeds, after deducting a discount and the estimated expenses and fees, were approximately $289.8 million. On February 15, 2007, we exchanged $306.0 million aggregate principal amount of our floating rate senior secured notes due 2011, which have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (Senior Notes), for the notes sold in the private placement. The Senior Notes bear interest at a rate equal to nine-month LIBOR plus 7.0 percent and were offered at a discount of 2 percent of face value. Interest with respect to the Senior Notes is payable semiannually on June 1 and December 1. The interest rate was 12.38 percent at September 30, 2007.
We have Interest Rate Protection Agreements (Rate Agreements) with respect to $200.0 million of debt as a means to manage our exposure to fluctuating interest rates. The Rate Agreements effectively convert this portion of our long-term borrowings from variable rate debt to fixed-rate debt, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future income. The fixed interest rate for our borrowings related to the Rate Agreements at September 30, 2007, excluding applicable fees, is 5.24 percent per year and the total interest rate, including applicable fees, is 12.24 percent per year. The average maturity of these Rate Agreements is 2.2 years at September 30, 2007. Total remaining Senior Notes not covered by the Rate Agreements have fluctuating interest rates with a weighted average rate of 12.38 percent per year at September 30, 2007. If the counterparties to these Rate Agreements were to fail to perform, these Rate Agreements would no longer protect us from interest rate fluctuations. However, we do not anticipate nonperformance by the counterparties. All counterparties’ credit ratings were rated AA- or better as of September 2007, by Standard and Poors.
The fair market value for the Rate Agreements at September 30, 2007, was ($2.5) million. The fair value of the Rate Agreements is based on the market standard methodology of netting the discounted expected future variable cash receipts and the discounted future fixed cash payments. The variable cash receipts are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observed market interest rate forward curves. We do not expect to cancel these agreements and expect them to expire as originally contracted.
The Senior Notes are guaranteed by Libbey Inc. and all of Libbey Glass’s existing and future domestic subsidiaries that guarantee any of Libbey Glass’s debt or debt of any subsidiary guarantor (see Note 12). The Senior Notes and related guarantees have the benefit of a second-priority lien, subject to permitted liens, on collateral consisting of substantially all the tangible and intangible assets of Libbey Glass and its domestic subsidiary guarantors that secure all of the indebtedness under Libbey Glass’s ABL Facility. The Collateral does not include the assets of non-guarantor subsidiaries that secure the ABL Facility.
PIK Notes
Concurrently with the execution of the purchase agreement with respect to the Senior Notes, Libbey Glass and Libbey Inc. entered into a purchase agreement (Unit Purchase Agreement) pursuant to which Libbey Glass agreed to sell, to a purchaser named in the private placement, units consisting of $102.0 million aggregate principal amount 16 percent senior subordinated secured pay-in-kind notes due 2011 (PIK Notes) and detachable warrants to purchase 485,309 shares of Libbey Inc. common stock (Warrants) exercisable on or after June 16, 2006 and expiring on December 1, 2011. The warrant holders do not have voting rights. The net proceeds, after deducting a discount and estimated expenses and fees, were approximately $97.0 million. The proceeds were allocated between the Warrants and the underlying debt based on their respective fair values at the time of issuance. The amount allocated to the Warrants has been recorded in equity, with the offset recorded as a discount on the underlying debt. Each Warrant is exercisable at $11.25. The PIK Notes were offered at a discount of 2 percent of face value. Interest is payable semiannually on June 1 and December 1, but during the first three years interest is payable by issuance of additional PIK Notes.
The obligations of Libbey Glass under the PIK Notes are guaranteed by Libbey Inc. and all of Libbey Glass’s existing and future domestic subsidiaries that guarantee any of Libbey Glass’s debt or debt of any subsidiary guarantor (see Note 12). The PIK Notes and related guarantees are senior subordinated obligations of Libbey Glass and the guarantors of the PIK Notes and are entitled to the benefit of a third-priority lien, subject to permitted liens, on the collateral that secures the Senior Notes.

Promissory Note
In September 2001, we issued a $2.7 million promissory note in connection with the purchase of our Laredo, Texas warehouse facility. At September 30, 2007, and December 31, 2006, we had $1.9 million and $2.0 million, respectively, outstanding on the promissory note. Interest with respect to the promissory note is paid monthly.
Notes Payable
We have an overdraft line of credit for a maximum of 1.8 million. The $1.6 million outstanding at September 30, 2007, was the U.S. dollar equivalent under the euro-based overdraft line and the interest rate was 5.43 percent. Interest with respect to the note payable 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 $33.4 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 September 30, 2007, the annual interest rate was 6.46 percent. As of September 30, 2007, the outstanding balance was RMB 250.0 million (approximately $33.4 million). Interest is payable quarterly. Payments of principal in the amount of RMB 30.0 million (approximately $4.0 million) and RMB 40.0 million (approximately $5.4 million) must be made on July 20, 2012, and December 20, 2012, respectively, and three payments of principal in the amount of RMB 60.0 million (approximately $8.0 million) each must be made on July 20, 2013, December 20, 2013, and January 20, 2014, respectively. The obligations of Libbey China are secured by a guarantee executed by Libbey Inc. for the benefit of CCB.
RMB Working Capital Loan
In March 2007, Libbey China entered into a 50.0 million RMB working capital loan with CCB. The 3-year term loan matures on March 14, 2010, has a current interest rate of 6.30 percent, and is secured by a Libbey Inc. guarantee. At September 30, 2007, the U.S. dollar equivalent on the line was $6.7 million.
Obligations Under Capital Leases
We lease certain machinery and equipment under agreements that are classified as capital leases. These leases were assumed in the Crisal acquisition on October 13, 2006. The cost of the equipment under capital leases is included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as property, plant and equipment, and the related depreciation expense is included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The future minimum lease payments required under the capital leases as of September 30, 2007, are $0.7 million for year one and $0.5 million for years two and three thereafter.
BES Euro Line
In January 2007, Crisal entered into a seven year, 11.0 million line of credit (approximately $15.7 million) with Banco Espírito Santo, S.A. (BES). The $15.5 million outstanding at September 30, 2007, was the U.S. dollar equivalent under the line at an interest rate of 5.66 percent.

6. Special Charges
Crisa Restructuring

7. Income Taxes
In July 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48. FIN 48 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under FIN 48, we may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes and accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures.
We adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, we recorded a $6.7 million decrease in the net tax asset for unrecognized tax benefits, offset by an increase in net deferred tax asset of $6.7 million, with no cumulative effect on retained earnings. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits at January 1, 2007, was $8.1 million, of which $1.4 million would impact our effective tax rate, if recognized. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2007, is $7.3 million, of which $1.7 million would impact our effective tax rate, if recognized.
During the third quarter of 2007, unrecognized tax benefits decreased by $0.5 million from tax positions taken during prior periods resulting from the lapse of the applicable statute of limitations. Offsetting the decline was a $0.5 million increase in unrecognized tax benefits during the quarter as a result of tax positions taken during the period.
It is expected that the amount of the unrecognized tax benefits will change within the next twelve months; however, we do not expect the change to have a significant impact on our results of operations or our financial position.
We recognize accrued interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as part of the tax provision. As of January 1, 2007, we had $3.0 million of accrued interest and penalties. The liability for the payment of interest and penalties at September 30, 2007, is $3.7 million.
We are not currently under audit by the Internal Revenue Service for any years; however, we have been contacted for examination. The statutes of limitation for our income tax returns after 2003 remain open for examination by the IRS.
Foreign and U.S. state jurisdictions have statutes of limitations generally ranging from three to five years. The state impact of any federal changes remains subject to examination by various states for a period of up to one year after formal notification to the states. We have various foreign and state income tax returns in the process of examination, administrative appeals or litigation. Years still open to examination by foreign tax authorities in major jurisdictions include Netherlands (2006 onward), Portugal (2002 onward), Mexico (2002 onward), and Canada (2004 onward).
8. Pension and Nonpension Postretirement Benefits
We have pension plans covering the majority of our employees. Benefits generally are based on compensation and length of service for salaried employees and job grade and length of service for hourly employees. In addition, we have a supplemental employee retirement plan (SERP) covering certain employees. The U.S. pension plans, including the SERP, which is an unfunded liability, cover the hourly and salaried U.S.-based employees of Libbey hired before January 1, 2006. The non-U.S. pension plans cover the employees of our wholly owned subsidiaries, Royal Leerdam, Leerdam Crystal and Crisa. The Crisa plan is not funded.
The components of our net pension expense (credit), including the SERP, are as follows:
                                                 
    U.S. Plans   Non-U.S. Plans   Total

We provide certain retiree health care and life insurance benefits covering a majority of our salaried and non-union hourly employees hired before January 1, 2004 and a majority of our union hourly employees. Employees generally are eligible for benefits upon retirement and completion of a specified number of years of creditable service. Benefits for most hourly retirees are determined by collective bargaining. The U.S. nonpension postretirement plans cover the hourly and salaried U.S.-based employees of Libbey. The non-U.S. nonpension postretirement plans cover the retirees and active employees of Libbey who are located in Canada.
The provision for our nonpension postretirement benefit expense consists of the following:

In 2007, we expect to utilize $20.5 million to fund our pension plans and nonpension postretirement benefits. Of that amount, $8.6 million and $14.5 million were paid for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively.

9. Net Income per Share of Common Stock
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:
                                 
    Three Months Ended September 30,   Nine Months Ended September 30,
    2007   2006   2007   2006
 
Numerator for earnings per share — net income (loss) that is available to common shareholders
  $ 445     $ (3,307 )   $ 2,647     $ (12,361 )
 
Denominator for basic earnings per share — weighted-average shares outstanding
    14,534,921       14,254,121       14,444,777       14,139,206  
 
Effect of dilutive securities – employee stock options, employee stock purchase plan (ESPP), warrants and restricted stock units (1)
    388,794             314,519        
 
Denominator for diluted earnings per share – adjusted weighted-average shares and assumed conversions
    14,923,715       14,254,121       14,759,296       14,139,206  
 
Basic earnings (loss) per share
  $ 0.03     $ (0.23 )   $ 0.18     $ (0.87 )
 
Diluted earnings (loss) per share
  $ 0.03     $ (0.23 )   $ 0.18     $ (0.87 )
 
(1)   The effect of the employee stock purchase plan (ESPP), 6,537 shares for the three months ended September 30, 2006, and 1,504 shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 ,was anti-dilutive and thus not included in the earnings per share calculation. These amounts were anti-dilutive due to the net loss. All other employee stock options and warrants were excluded from the diluted weighted average shares calculations as they were not in-the-money as of September 30, 2006.
Diluted shares outstanding include the dilutive impact of in-the-money employee stock options, the ESPP, warrants and restricted stock units, which are calculated based on the average share price for each fiscal period using the treasury stock method in accordance with SFAS 123-R. Under SFAS 123-R and the treasury stock method, the average unrecognized compensation is included with the tax-effected proceeds that hypothetically would be received from the exercise of all in-the-money options and that are assumed to be used to repurchase shares.
10. Derivatives
As of September 30, 2007, we had Interest Rate Protection Agreements for $200.0 million of our variable rate debt, commodity contracts for 3,303,000 million British Thermal Units (BTUs) of natural gas and a foreign currency contract for 212.0 million pesos for a contractual payment due to Vitro, related to the Crisa acquisition, in January 2008, all with a total fair value of $(5.2) million, accounted for under Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (Statement 133). At December 31, 2006, we had Interest Rate Protection Agreements for $200.0 million of variable rate debt and commodity contracts for 3,450,000 million BTUs of natural gas with a total fair value of $(4.1) million. The fair value of these derivatives is included in derivative liability on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
We do not believe we are exposed to more than a nominal amount of credit risk in our interest rate, natural gas and foreign currency hedges, as the counterparties are established financial institutions. All counterparties were rated AA- or better as of September 2007, by Standard and Poors.
All of our derivatives (except for the foreign currency contract) qualify and are designated as cash flow hedges at September 30, 2007. Hedge accounting is applied only when the derivative is deemed to be highly effective at offsetting changes in anticipated cash flows of the hedged item or transaction. The ineffective portion of the change in the fair value of a derivative designated as a cash flow hedge is recognized in current earnings. We recognized a loss of $0.2 million in the three months and a gain of $0.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2007, in other income on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. We recognized a loss of $1.7 million in the three months and a loss of $1.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2006, primarily related to non-qualifying natural gas hedges at Crisa.

We adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132 (R),” in December 2006. As a result of the adoption of this statement, accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) decreased by $21.8 million. The decrease was incorrectly recorded as a component of comprehensive loss in the 2006 Consolidated Statement of Shareholders’ Equity. Total comprehensive loss was incorrectly reported as $35.8 million and should have been reported as $14.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The decrease due to the adoption of this statement should have been recorded as a direct adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

13 Segments
Our segments are described as follows:
  North American Glass—includes sales of glass tableware from subsidiaries throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico.
 
  North American Other—includes sales of ceramic dinnerware; metal tableware, holloware and serveware; and plastic items from subsidiaries in the United States.
 
  International—includes worldwide sales of glass tableware from subsidiaries outside the United States, Canada and Mexico.
Some operating segments were aggregated to arrive at the disclosed reportable segments. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 1 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We do not have any customers who represent 10 percent or more of total net sales. We evaluate the performance of our segments based upon net sales and Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT). Intersegment sales are consummated at arm’s length and are reflected in eliminations in the table below.

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. [These factors are discussed in “Other Information” in the section “Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk.”]

Net Sales
For the quarter ended September 30, 2007, net sales increased 10.5 percent to $202.4 million from $183.3 million in the year-ago quarter. The increase in net sales was broad-based and included a 27.3 percent growth in International sales, as shipments to Royal Leerdam and Crisal glassware customers increased more than 14.0 percent and Libbey China had a full quarter of shipments. In addition, North American Glass net sales increased 7.6 percent as the result of a more than 9.0 percent increase in shipments to U.S. and Canadian foodservice and retail glassware customers. Shipments of Crisa glassware were up over 5.0 percent. North American Other net sales increased 5.7 percent on the strength of increases of more than 7.0 percent in shipments of World Tableware® and Traex products.
Gross Profit
For the quarter ended September 30, 2007, gross profit increased by $6.7 million, or 21.2 percent, to $38.3 million, compared to $31.6 million in the year-ago quarter. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 18.9 percent, compared to 17.2 percent in the year-ago quarter. The increase in gross profit and gross profit margin is primarily attributable to the higher sales and related margins and higher production activity. Partially offsetting these improvements was a $1.0 million increase in natural gas expense.

Income From Operations
We reported income from operations of $14.7 million during the quarter, compared to $10.8 million in the year-ago quarter. Income from operations as a percentage of net sales increased to 7.3 percent in the third quarter 2007, compared to 5.9 percent in the year-ago quarter. Factors contributing to the $3.8 million increase in income from operations and improved income from operations margin include higher gross profit (discussed above), offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses primarily related to higher sales and a $0.8 million increase in equity compensation expense.
Earnings Before Interest and Income Taxes (EBIT)
Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) increased by $7.1 million in the third quarter 2007, compared to the year-ago quarter. EBIT as a percentage of net sales increased to 8.0 percent in the third quarter 2007, compared to 5.0 percent in the year-ago quarter. Key contributors to the increase in EBIT compared to the year-ago quarter are the same as those discussed above under Income From Operations. In addition, we recorded a $1.7 million currency translation gain, primarily related to fluctuations in the euro and peso, in the third quarter 2007 as compared to a currency translation loss of $0.3 million in the year-ago quarter.
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation & Amortization (EBITDA)
EBITDA increased by $7.8 million to $28.0 million from $20.2 million in the year-ago quarter. As a percentage of net sales, EBITDA was 13.8 percent for the third quarter 2007, compared to 11.0 percent in the year-ago quarter. The key contributors to the increase in EBITDA were those factors discussed above under EBIT. Depreciation and amortization, adjusted for minority interest, increased by $0.7 million to $11.8 million, primarily due to the depreciation related to our new facility in China.
Net Income and Diluted Net Income Per Share
We recorded net income of $0.4 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, in the third quarter 2007, compared to a net loss of $3.3 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter. Net income as a percentage of net sales was 0.2 percent in the third quarter 2007, compared to a net loss as a percentage of net sales of 1.8 percent in the year-ago quarter. The change from net loss to net income is driven primarily by the items discussed above under EBIT, offset by a $1.4 million increase in interest expense compared to the year-ago quarter resulting from the higher debt and higher average interest rates. The effective tax rate decreased to a negative 162.2 percent for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, compared to negative 48.3 percent in the year-ago quarter. This decrease was driven primarily by tax incentives and interest expense benefits related to the refinancing completed on June 16, 2006.

Net Sales
For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, sales increased 23.7 percent to $589.0 million from $476.1 million in the year-ago period. This increase in net sales was attributable to the consolidation of Crisa, the Company’s former joint venture in Mexico, a 16.6 percent increase in net sales to export customers outside of North America and increases of 5.6 percent in shipments to U.S. and Canadian foodservice and retail glassware customers resulting in a 28.7 percent growth in North American Glass. International net sales grew 26.5 percent as 2007 included Libbey China shipments. Net sales to Royal Leerdam and Crisal customers each increased over 19.0 percent compared to the first nine months of 2006. North American Other net sales increased 4.7 percent on the strength of higher net sales of World Tableware® products.
Gross Profit
For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, gross profit increased by $33.0 million, or 40.3 percent, compared to the year-ago period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 19.5 percent, compared to 17.2 percent in the year-ago period. Contributing to the increase in gross profit and gross profit margin is the consolidation of Crisa, higher sales and higher production activity. In addition, the first nine months of 2006 included an inventory write-down of $2.5 million related to the Crisa restructuring. Partially offsetting these improvements were higher distribution expenses, higher natural gas expense and expenses related to the start-up of our new facility in China.
Income From Operations
Income from operations was $45.6 million during the first nine months of 2007, compared to income from operations of $9.8 million during the year-ago period. IFO as a percentage of net sales increased to 7.7 percent in the first nine months of 2007, compared to 2.1 percent in the year-ago period. Contributing to the increase in income from operations and income from operations margin is the higher gross profit and gross profit margin (discussed above) offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses primarily due to the consolidation of Crisa, higher net sales and a $2.1 million increase in equity compensation expense. In addition, the year-ago period included a fixed asset charge of $12.6 million related to the Crisa restructuring.
Earnings Before Interest and Income Taxes (EBIT)
EBIT for the first nine months of 2007 increased by $40.1 million to $49.6 million from $9.5 million in the year-ago period. EBIT as a percentage of net sales increased to 8.4 percent in the first nine months of 2007, compared to 2.0 percent in the year-ago period. The contributors to the improvement in EBIT compared to the prior period are the same as those discussed above under Income from Operations. In addition, we recognized a $1.1 million gain on the sale of excess land in Syracuse, N.Y. during the first quarter of 2007. We also recorded a currency translation gain of $2.1 million for the nine months of 2007, compared to a currency translation loss of $0.6 million in the year-ago period and a decrease of approximately $2.4 million in charges related to the ineffectiveness on our natural gas contracts as compared to the year-ago period.
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation & Amortization (EBITDA)
EBITDA increased by $44.8 million, or 122.8 percent, to $81.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to the year-ago period. As a percentage of net sales, EBITDA was 13.8 percent in the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to 7.7 percent in the prior year period. The key contributors to the increase in EBITDA were those factors discussed above under EBIT. Depreciation and amortization, adjusted for minority interest, increased by $4.7 million to $31.7 million primarily due to the consolidation of Crisa and depreciation related to our new facility in China.

Net Income and Diluted Net Income Per Share
We recorded net income of $2.6 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to a net loss of $12.4 million, or $0.87 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Net income as a percentage of net sales was 0.4 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to net loss as a percentage of net sales of 2.6 percent for the year-ago period. The change from net loss to net income is driven primarily by the items discussed above under EBIT. A $19.6 million increase in interest expense compared to the year-ago period is a result of the refinancing consummated on June 16, 2006, which resulted in higher debt from the purchase of Crisa and higher average interest rates. The effective tax rate decreased to a negative 290.4 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to a negative 38.0 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. This decrease was driven primarily by tax incentives and interest expense benefits related to the refinancing completed on June 16, 2006.

Segment Results of Operations – Third Quarter 2007 Compared to Third Quarter 2006
North American Glass
For the quarter ended September 30, 2007, net sales increased 7.6 percent to $141.0 million from $131.0 million in the year-ago quarter. Of the total increase in net sales, approximately 4.8 percent relates to shipments to foodservice and retail customers and 2.1 percent is attributable to Crisa.
EBIT increased by $3.2 million for the third quarter 2007, compared to the year-ago quarter. EBIT, as a percentage of net sales, increased to 8.0 percent in the third quarter 2007, compared to 6.2 percent in the year-ago quarter. The key contributors to the improvement in EBIT compared to the year-ago quarter were the impact of higher net sales and operating activity in the North American Glass operations of $1.1 million and a $3.2 million increase in non-operating income primarily related to foreign currency translation gains and non-recurring charges on Crisa’s prior year natural gas contracts. Partially offsetting these improvements were higher selling, general and administrative expenses of $1.5 million resulting from the increased net sales and higher equity compensation expense.

(6)   The calculations for June 30, 2007, and December 31, 2006, include Crisa pro forma net sales.
Working capital (defined as accounts receivable and inventories less accounts payable) was $222.9 million at September 30, 2007. Working capital increased $4.7 million from June 30, 2007, and $34.5 million from December 31, 2006. Working capital as a percentage of net sales increased from 26.1 percent in the year-ago quarter to 27.8 percent in the third quarter of 2007. These increases are the result of normal seasonal increases in working capital and the building of working capital for our new plant in China.

We had total borrowings of $498.6 million at September 30, 2007, compared to total borrowings of $499.5 million at December 31, 2006. The $0.8 million decrease in borrowings was primarily the result of the $28.4 million reduction of cash on our balance sheet (discussed above), offset by the ($13.7) million free cash flow for the first nine months of 2007 (discussed below), and an increase due to the foreign exchange impact on non-U.S. based debt. In addition, $8.8 million of PIK Notes were issued on June 1, 2007 to pay the semi-annual interest on the PIK Notes.
Of our total indebtedness, $178.5 million is subject to fluctuating interest rates at September 30, 2007. A change of one percentage point in such rates would result in a change in interest expense of approximately $1.8 million on an annual basis.
Included in interest expense is the amortization of discounts and warrants on the Senior Notes and PIK Notes and financing fees of $1.4 million and $4.2 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively.

See Table 2 for a reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to free cash flow and a further discussion as to the reasons we believe this non-GAAP financial measure is useful.
Our net cash provided by operating activities was $11.3 million in the third quarter of 2007, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $11.1 million in the year-ago quarter, or an increase of $0.2 million.

35


Table of Contents

The net cash used by financing activities of $5.1 million in the third quarter of 2007 was primarily related to repayments of borrowings under our ABL facility. The net cash provided by financing activities of $20.6 million in the third quarter of 2006 was primarily related to borrowings under our China Construction loan.
Our free cash flow was $2.7 million during the third quarter 2007, compared to $(9.6) million in the year-ago quarter, an improvement of $12.3 million. The primary contributor to this improvement was a $10.9 million reduction in capital expenditures, primarily related to the construction of our new plant in China.

See Table 2 for a reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to free cash flow and a further discussion as to the reasons we believe this non-GAAP financial measure is useful
Our net cash provided by operating activities was $15.7 million in the first nine months of 2007, compared to $31.5 million in the year-ago period, or a decrease of $15.8 million. The major components impacting cash flow from operations were an increase in earnings offset by a $13.6 million increase in cash interest expense, an increase in working capital, higher pension contributions, income tax refunds received in 2007 and non-cash special charges included in the prior year of $15.1 million resulting from the purchase of Crisa.
Net cash used from financing activities was a $15.1 million during the first nine months of 2007, compared to $135.4 million net cash provided by financing activities in 2006. The 2007 net cash used in financing activities is primarily attributable to the repayment of borrowings under our ABL facility offset by new working capital facilities in Europe and China. The 2006 net cash provided by financing activities resulted from the additional debt issued for the acquisition of Crisa and the construction of our production facility in China.
Our free cash flow was $(13.7) million during the first nine months of 2007, compared to $(101.0) million in the year-ago period, an improvement of $87.3 million. The primary contributors to this change were the purchase of Crisa in the second quarter of 2006 for $78.0 million, the change in net cash used in operating activities as discussed above, a $22.6 million decrease in capital expenditures (driven by a reduction in spending resulting from the completion of construction of our new facility in China in 2006), and proceeds from asset sales and other items of $2.6 million, primarily attributable to the sale of excess land in Syracuse, N.Y.
Derivatives
We have Interest Rate Protection Agreements (Rate Agreements) with respect to $200.0 million of debt as a means to manage our exposure to fluctuating interest rates. The Rate Agreements effectively convert this portion of our long-term borrowings from variable rate debt to fixed-rate debt, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future income.
We also use commodity futures contracts related to forecasted future natural gas requirements. The objective of these futures contracts is to limit the fluctuations in prices paid and potential losses in earnings or cash flows from adverse price movements in the underlying 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 60 percent of our anticipated requirements, generally six or more months in the future.

36


Table of Contents

During the second quarter of 2007, we entered into a foreign currency contract for 212.0 million pesos for a contractual payment due to Vitro in January 2008, related to the Crisa acquisition.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
Based on our current level of operations, we believe our cash flow from operations and available borrowings under our ABL facility and various other facilities will be adequate to meet our liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months. Our ability to fund our working capital needs, debt payments and other obligations, capital expenditures program and other funding requirements, and to comply with debt agreements, depends on our future operating performance and cash flow.
Outlook
We expect fourth quarter sales to be in the range of $218 million to $223 million, resulting in annual sales of $807 million to $812 million. EBITDA is expected to be between $25 million and $28 million in the fourth quarter of 2007, resulting in EBITDA for the full year 2007 of approximately $106 million to $109 million.
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
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.

  $ 28,025     $ 20,188     $ 81,338     $ 36,512  
 
We define EBIT as net income before interest expense and income taxes, after minority interest adjustment. The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure is earnings before interest, income taxes and minority interest.
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 define EBITDA as net income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, after minority interest adjustment. The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure is earnings before interest, income taxes and minority interest.

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. 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 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 operating activities recorded under U.S. GAAP. Free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

We define working capital as accounts receivable (net) plus inventories (net) less accounts payable.
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.

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 are exposed to market risks associated with changes in interest rates on our floating debt and have entered into Interest Rate Protection Agreements (Rate Agreements) with respect to $200.0 million of debt as a means to manage our exposure to fluctuating interest rates. The Rate Agreements effectively convert this portion of our long-term borrowings from variable rate debt to fixed-rate debt, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future income. We had $178.5 million of debt subject to fluctuating interest rates at September 30, 2007. A change of one percentage point in such rates would result in a change in interest expense of approximately $1.8 million on an annual basis. If the counterparties to these Rate Agreements were to fail to perform, we would no longer be protected from interest rate fluctuations by these Rate Agreements. However, we do not anticipate nonperformance by the counterparties. All counterparties were rated AA- or better as of September 2007, by Standard and Poors.
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. The objective of these futures contracts is to limit the fluctuations in prices paid and potential losses in earnings or cash flows from adverse price movements in the underlying natural gas commodity. We consider 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 60 percent of our anticipated requirements, generally six or more months 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 counter parties 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 counter parties. All counterparties were rated AA- or better as of September 2007, by Standard and Poors.
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 the performance of our pension plans asset performance and related pension expense. Sensitivity to these key market risk factors is as follows:
    A change of 1 percent in the discount rate would change our annual expense by approximately $3.9 million.
 
    A change of 1 percent in the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets would change annual 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, as amended, (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.

39


Table of Contents

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 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.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
The following factors are the most significant factors that can impact period-to-period comparisons and may affect the future performance of our businesses. New risks may emerge, and management cannot predict those risks or estimate the extent to which they may affect our financial performance.
    Slowdowns in the retail, travel, restaurant and bar, or entertainment industries, such as those caused by general economic downturns, terrorism, health concerns or strikes or bankruptcies within those industries, could reduce our revenues and production activity levels.
 
    We face intense competition and competitive pressures that could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
 
    International economic and political factors could affect demand for imports and exports, and our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely impacted as a result.
 
    We may not be able to achieve the objectives of our strategic plan.
 
    Natural gas, the principal fuel we use to manufacture our products, is subject to fluctuating prices; fluctuations in natural gas prices could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
 
    If we are unable to obtain sourced products or materials at favorable prices, our operating performance may be adversely affected.
 
    Charges related to our employee pension and postretirement welfare plans resulting from market risk and headcount realignment may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
 
    Our business requires significant capital investment and maintenance expenditures that we may be unable to fulfill.
 
    Our business requires us to maintain a large fixed cost base that can affect our profitability.
 
    Unexpected equipment failures may lead to production curtailments or shutdowns.
 
    If our investments in new technology and other capital expenditures do not yield expected returns, our results of operations could be reduced.
 
    An inability to meet targeted production and profit margin goals in connection with the operation of our new production facility in China could result in significant additional costs or lost sales.
 
    We may not be able to renegotiate collective bargaining agreements successfully when they expire; organized strikes or work stoppages by unionized employees may have an adverse effect on our operating performance.
 
    We are subject to risks associated with operating in foreign countries. These risks could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

41


Table of Contents

    High levels of inflation and high interest rates in Mexico could adversely affect the operating results and cash flows of Crisa.
 
    Fluctuation of the currencies in which we conduct operations could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
 
    Fluctuations in the value of the foreign currencies in which we operate relative to the U.S. dollar could reduce the cost competitiveness of our products or those of our subsidiaries.
 
    Devaluation or depreciation of, or governmental conversion controls over, the foreign currencies in which we operate could affect our ability to convert the earnings of our foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars.
 
    If our 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.
 
    We are subject to various environmental legal requirements and may be subject to new legal requirements in the future; these requirements could have a material adverse effect on our operations.
 
    Our failure to protect our intellectual property or prevail in any intellectual property litigation could materially and adversely affect our competitive position, reduce revenue or otherwise harm our business.
 
    Our business may suffer if we do not retain our senior management.
 
    Our high level of debt, as well as incurrence of additional debt, may limit our operating flexibility, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations.
