(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. 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 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, including our annual report on Form 10-K, our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, our current reports on Form 8-K, as well as amendments to those reports. These reports are made available on the website as soon as reasonably practicable after their filing with, or furnishing to, the Securities and Exchange Commission.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
See our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 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. 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, 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 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 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 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, we have recorded a full valuation allowance against our deferred income tax assets. In addition, valuation allowances have been recorded in the Netherlands and for a holding company in Mexico.
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 six months ended June 30, 2008 was $1.1 million and $2.1 million, respectively. The stock-based compensation expense charged to the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 was $1.0 million and $1.6 million, respectively.
New Accounting Standards
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 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. In February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” which delays until January 1, 2009 the effective date of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities, except for those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. We adopted SFAS 157 as of January 1, 2008, but have not applied it to non-recurring, nonfinancial assets and liabilities. The adoption of SFAS 157 had no impact on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition. See Note 12, Fair Value, for additional information.
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 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 adopted SFAS 159 as of January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 159 had no impact on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141R”), which changes how business combinations are accounted for and will impact financial statements both on the acquisition date and in subsequent periods. SFAS 141R is effective January 1, 2009 for Libbey and will be applied prospectively. The impact of adopting SFAS 141R will depend on the nature and terms of future acquisitions.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” (“SFAS 160”), which changes the accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interests in a subsidiary in consolidated financial statements. SFAS 160 re-characterizes minority interests as noncontrolling interests and requires noncontrolling interests to be classified as a component of shareholders equity. SFAS 160 is effective January 1, 2009 for Libbey, and requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests. We do not believe adoption of SFAS 160 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“ SFAS 161”), which requires additional disclosures about the objectives of the derivative instruments and

10


Table of Contents

hedging activities, the method of accounting for such instruments under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations, and a tabular disclosure of the effects of such instruments and related hedged items on our financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for Libbey beginning January 1, 2009. We are currently assessing the potential impact that adoption of SFAS 161 may have on our financial statements.
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.

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 0.0 percent and 1.75 percent, respectively, at June 30, 2008. Libbey Glass borrowings under the facility at June 30, 2008 were $4.0 million at an interest rate of 4.23 percent. Libbey Europe had outstanding borrowings of $27.6 million at June 30, 2008, at an interest rate of 6.38 percent. Interest is payable the last day of the interest period, which can range from one month to six months.
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.
Libbey pays a Commitment Fee, as defined by the ABL Facility, on the total credit provided under the Facility. The Commitment Fee

13


Table of Contents

varies depending on our aggregate availability. The Commitment Fee was 0.25 percent at June 30, 2008. 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 $5.9 million and a rent reserve of $1.2 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 June 30, 2008, we had $8.4 million in letters of credit outstanding under the ABL Facility. Remaining unused availability on the ABL Facility was $71.1 million at June 30, 2008.
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 of these notes, 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 six-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 9.93 percent at June 30, 2008.
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 June 30, 2008, 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 1.4 years at June 30, 2008. Total remaining Senior Notes not covered by the Rate Agreements have fluctuating interest rates with a weighted average rate of 9.93 percent per year at June 30, 2008. 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 are rated AA or better as of June 30, 2008, by Standard and Poor’s.
The fair market value for the Rate Agreements at June 30, 2008, was a $6.1 million liability. 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 10). 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 new 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

14


Table of Contents

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. At June 30, 2008, additional PIK Notes for interest, that have been issued, bring the total principal amount of PIK notes to $137.9 million.
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 10). 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 June 30, 2008, we had $1.7 million 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 $2.0 million outstanding at June 30, 2008, was the U.S. dollar equivalent under the euro-based overdraft line and the interest rate was 5.44 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 $36.5 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, 2008, the annual interest rate was 6.89 percent. As of June 30, 2008, the outstanding balance was RMB 250.0 million (approximately $36.5 million). Interest is payable quarterly. Payments of principal in the amount of RMB 30.0 million (approximately $4.4 million) and RMB 40.0 million (approximately $5.8 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 $8.8 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 China Construction Bank. The 3-year term loan has a principal payment at maturity on March 14, 2010, has a current interest rate of 7.56 percent, and is secured by a Libbey Inc. guarantee. At June 30, 2008, the U.S. dollar equivalent on the line was $7.3 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. 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 June 30, 2008, are $0.7 million, all due within one year.
BES Euro Line
In January 2007, Crisal entered into a seven year, 11.0 million line of credit (approximately $17.4 million) with BANCO ESPÍRITO SANTO, S.A. (BES). The $17.4 million outstanding at June 30, 2008, was the U.S. dollar equivalent under the line at an interest rate

15


Table of Contents

of 6.03 percent. Payment of principal in the amount of 1.1 million (approximately $1.7 million) is due in January 2010, payment of 1.6 million (approximately $2.5 million) is due in January 2011, payment of 2.2 million (approximately $3.5 million) is due in January 2012, payment of 2.8 million (approximately $4.4 million) is due in January 2013 and payment of 3.3 million (approximately $5.3 million) is due in January 2014. Interest with respect to the line is paid every six months.
Other Debt
The other debt of $1.1 million primarily consists of government-subsidized loans for equipment purchases at Crisal.
5. Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the United States statutory tax rate primarily due to changes in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in accruals related to uncertain tax positions, tax planning structures and changes in tax laws. Further, the Company’s current and future provision for income taxes is significantly impacted by the recognition of valuation allowances in certain countries, particularly the United States. The Company intends to maintain these allowances until it is more likely than not that the deferred income tax assets will be realized.
6. Pension and Non-pension 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 U.S.-based 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 and Crisa. The Crisa plan is not funded.
The components of our net pension expense, including the SERP, are as follows:

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 U.S. union hourly employees. Employees are generally eligible for benefits upon retirement and completion of a specified number of years of creditable service. Benefits for most hourly retirees are determined by collective bargaining. The U.S. non-pension postretirement plans cover the hourly and salaried U.S.-based employees of Libbey. During the second quarter of 2008, we amended our U.S. non-pension postretirement plans to cover employees and retirees of Syracuse China previously covered under a multi-employer plan. This plan amendment is effective September 1, 2008 and resulted in a charge of $3.4 million to other comprehensive loss during the second quarter of 2008. 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.

(1)   The effect of employee stock options, warrants, restricted stock units and the employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) (285,799 and 330,641 shares for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively), were anti-dilutive and thus not included in the earnings per share calculation. These amounts are anti-dilutive due to the net loss.
When applicable, diluted shares outstanding include the dilutive 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.
8. Derivatives
As of June 30, 2008, we had commodity contracts for 1,700,000 million British Thermal Units (BTUs) of natural gas. In January 2008, we entered into a series of foreign currency contracts to sell Canadian dollars. As of June 30, 2008, we had contracts for 4.5 million Canadian dollars. The total fair values of the natural gas and Canadian currency agreements were $5.7 million and $0.1 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2008, accounted for under Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (Statement 133). These amounts are included in other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. We also had Interest Rate Protection Agreements for $200.0 million of our variable rate debt, as discussed in Note 4. The fair market value for the Rate Agreements at June 30, 2008 was a $6.1 million liability, which is included in derivative liability in the

Table of Contents

Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
At December 31, 2007, we had a foreign currency contract for 212.0 million pesos for a contractual payment due to Vitro in January 2008 related to the Crisa acquisition. As of December 31, 2007, the fair value of this contract was $0.4 million, which is included in other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. We also had Interest Rate Protection Agreements for $200.0 million of variable rate debt, and commodity contracts for 2,820,000 million BTUs of natural gas at December 31, 2007. The fair values for these agreements at December 31, 2007 were liabilities of $5.3 million and $1.8 million for the Interest Rate Agreement and natural gas contracts, respectively. The fair value of these derivatives is included in derivative liability on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
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. The counterparties’ credit ratings are rated AA or better for the Interest Rate Protection Agreements and A or better for the other derivative agreements as of June 30, 2008, by Standard and Poor’s.
Most of our derivatives qualify and are designated as cash flow hedges at June 30, 2008. 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. The ineffective portion of the change in the fair value of a derivative designated as a cash flow hedge is recognized in current earnings. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008, the ineffective portion of the change in the fair value of a derivative designated as a cash flow hedge was zero. We recognized an immaterial loss in recording the ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the cash flow hedges in the three months and a gain of $0.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2007, in other income on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

12. Fair Value
We adopted SFAS 157 as of January 1, 2008, with the exception of the application of the statement to non-recurring, nonfinancial assets and liabilities. The adoption of SFAS 157 had no impact on our fair value measurements. SFAS 157 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. SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy, which 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.

expectation of future interest rates derived from observed market interest rate forward curves. The fair values of our foreign currency contracts and our commodity futures natural gas contracts are determined using observable market inputs.
The foreign currency contracts, commodity futures natural gas contracts, and interest rate protection 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.

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 June 30, 2008, net sales increased 8.5 percent to $224.8 million from $207.1 million in the year-ago quarter. North American Glass net sales increased 5.5 percent due primarily to an increase of approximately 10.9 percent in shipments to Crisa customers, an increase of over 4.0 percent in shipments to U.S. retail glassware customers, partially offset by a decrease in shipments to U.S. foodservice glassware customers of 2.1 percent. North American Other net sales decreased 1.2 percent as a decline in shipments of Syracuse China products of approximately 14.0 percent slightly outpaced the increases in net sales made at World Tableware and Traex of approximately 7.0 percent and 5.0 percent, respectively. International net sales increased 29.6 percent compared to the year-ago quarter. Favorable currency impact caused 17.0 percent of the increase, and local sales increased over 12.0 percent, as shipments to customers of Libbey China continued to increase when compared to the prior year period.
Gross Profit
For the quarter ended June 30, 2008, gross profit decreased by $2.0 million, or 4.6 percent, to $42.2 million, compared to $44.2 million in the year-ago quarter. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 18.8 percent, compared to 21.3 percent in the year-ago quarter. In addition to the unfavorable mix of net sales resulting from lower U.S. glassware foodservice sales, other factors contributing to the decrease in gross profit were lower production activity in Mexico as the result of a scheduled furnace rebuild, an increase of $1.0 million in depreciation expense, an increase of $1.4 million in natural gas expense, an increase in electricity expense of $1.7 million, and an increase of $1.6 million in material costs. These negative factors were partially offset by higher net sales. The $1.0 million increase in depreciation expense is primarily due to attainment of the full rate of depreciation at our new China facility and capital expenditures at Crisa related to its capacity rationalization.

Income From Operations
Income from operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 decreased $1.8 million, to $18.7 million, compared to $20.5 million in the year-ago quarter. Income from operations as a percentage of net sales decreased to 8.3 percent in the second quarter 2008, compared to 9.9 percent in the year-ago quarter. The decrease in income from operations is a result of lower gross profit and gross profit margin (discussed above), partially offset by slightly lower selling, general and administrative expenses.
Earnings Before Interest and Income Taxes (EBIT)
Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) decreased by $1.9 million in the second quarter 2008, compared to the year-ago quarter. EBIT as a percentage of net sales decreased to 8.6 percent in the second quarter 2008, compared to 10.2 percent in the year-ago quarter. Key contributors to the decrease in EBIT compared to the year-ago quarter are the same as those discussed above under Income From Operations.
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation & Amortization (EBITDA)
EBITDA decreased by 4.2 percent to $30.5 million from $31.9 million in the year-ago quarter. As a percentage of net sales, EBITDA was 13.6 percent for the second quarter 2008, compared to 15.4 percent in the year-ago quarter. The key contributors to the decrease in EBITDA were those factors discussed above under EBIT excluding the $1.0 million increase in depreciation discussed above under gross profit.
Net (Loss) Income and Diluted Net (Loss) Income Per Share
We recorded a net loss of $2.1 million, or $(0.14) per diluted share, in the second quarter 2008, compared to net income of $4.0 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter. Net income as a percentage of net sales was (0.9) percent in the second quarter 2008, compared to 1.9 percent in the year-ago quarter. As a result of higher debt, primarily driven by the PIK notes, interest expense increased $1.2 million compared to the year-ago period. In addition, the effective tax rate increased to 225.9 percent for the quarter, compared to 16.4 percent in the year-ago quarter. The Company’s effective tax rate increased from the year-ago quarter primarily as a result of the impact upon the Company’s provision for income taxes caused by the recognition of valuation allowances in certain countries, particularly the United States. Further, changes in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in accruals related to uncertain tax positions, tax planning structures and changes in tax laws also impacted the effective tax rate.

(1)   We believe that EBIT and 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. See Table 1 for a reconciliation of net (loss) income to EBIT and EBITDA and a further discussion as to the reasons we believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful.
Net Sales
For the six months ended June 30, 2008, net sales increased 6.6 percent to $412.1 million from $386.6 million in the year-ago period. North American Glass net sales increased 4.0 percent from the year-ago period. The increase in net sales was attributable to an increase of over 10.0 percent in both shipments of Crisa products and in shipments to retail glassware customers in the U.S and Canada. This increase was partially offset by a 6.4 percent decrease in U.S foodservice glassware shipments. North American Other net sales decreased 2.1 percent compared to the year-ago period primarily due to decreased shipments of Syracuse China products. International net sales increased 26.0 percent compared to the year-ago period due to significantly increased shipments to customers of Libbey China and favorable currency impact on European net sales. International net sales increased approximately 8.9 percent, excluding the favorable currency impact.
Gross Profit
For the six months ended June 30, 2008, gross profit decreased by $4.1 million, or 5.4 percent, to $72.5 million, compared to $76.6 million in the year-ago period. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 17.6 percent, compared to 19.8 percent in the year-ago period. Contributing to the decrease in gross profit and gross profit margin are an unfavorable sales mix resulting from lower U.S glass foodservice sales, an increase of $4.1 million in materials, a $2.7 million increase in natural gas expenses, an increase in electricity expense of $2.6 million, lower production activity at Crisa as the result of a scheduled furnace rebuild and a $3.6 million increase in depreciation expense which is primarily due to the attainment of the full rate of depreciation at our China facility in 2008 and capital expenditures at Crisa related to the capacity rationalization. Higher net sales partially offset these increased costs.
Income From Operations
Income from operations was $28.2 million during the first six months of 2008, compared to $30.9 million during the year-ago period, representing an 8.8 percent decrease. Income from operations as a percentage of net sales decreased to 6.8 percent, compared to 8.0 percent in the year-ago period. The decrease in income from operations and income from operations margin is the result of lower gross profit and gross profit margin (discussed above). This was offset by a decrease of $1.4 million in selling, general and administrative expenses primarily related to favorable rulings in connection with an outstanding dispute regarding a warehouse lease in Mexico and lower incentive compensation expense offset by an increase in stock-based compensation expense.
Earnings Before Interest and Income Taxes (EBIT)
EBIT decreased by $3.9 million for the first six months of 2008 to $29.5 million from $33.4 million in the year-ago period. EBIT as a percentage of net sales decreased to 7.2 percent in the first six months of 2008, compared to 8.6 percent in the year-ago period. Key contributors to the decrease in EBIT compared to the prior year are the same as discussed above under Income From Operations and the non-recurrence of a $1.1 million gain on the sale of excess land in Syracuse, N.Y. recognized during the first quarter of 2007.
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation & Amortization (EBITDA)
EBITDA decreased by $1.2 million, or 2.3 percent, for the six months ended June 30, 2008, to $52.1 million, compared to $53.3 million in the year-ago period. As a percentage of net sales, EBITDA was 12.6 percent in the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to 13.8 percent in the prior year period. The key contributors to the decrease in EBITDA and EBITDA margin were those factors discussed above under EBIT, excluding the $3.6 million increase in depreciation discussed above under Gross Profit.
Net (Loss) Income and Diluted Net (Loss) Income Per Share
We recorded a net loss of $5.6 million, or $(0.38) per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to net income of $2.2 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Net income as a percentage of net sales was (1.4) percent for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to 0.6 percent for the year-ago period. Interest expense increased $2.8 million compared with the year-ago period as a result of higher debt levels, primarily driven by the PIK notes. The effective tax rate increased to a negative 6.9 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to a negative 58.0 percent in the first half of

2007. Similar to the second quarter impact, the Company’s effective tax rate increased from the year-ago period primarily due to significant impact upon the Company’s provision for income taxes caused by the recognition of valuation allowances in certain countries, particularly the United States. Further, changes in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in accruals related to uncertain tax positions, tax planning structures and changes in tax laws also impacted the effective tax rate.

Segment Results of Operations — Second Quarter 2008 Compared to Second Quarter 2007
North American Glass
For the quarter ended June 30, 2008, net sales increased 5.5 percent to $155.0 million from $147.0 million in the year-ago quarter. Of the total increase in net sales, approximately 4.8 percent is attributable to increased shipments to Crisa’s customers and 0.8 percent was attributable to increased shipments to retail glassware customers. This was partially offset by a decrease of 0.8 percent in shipments to U.S. foodservice customers.
EBIT decreased to $14.9 million for the second quarter 2008, compared to $16.5 million for the year-ago quarter. EBIT, as a percentage of net sales, decreased to 9.6 percent in the second quarter 2008, compared to 11.3 percent in the year-ago quarter. The key factors in the decline in EBIT compared to the year-ago quarter were the decreased production activity and an unfavorable sales mix, an increase of $0.4 million in depreciation expense, an increase in natural gas expense of $0.3 million, an increase of $1.1 million in electricity expense and an increase in material costs of $0.9 million. These negative factors were partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses related to decreases of $0.5 million in incentive compensation expense and $0.6 million in professional fees, offset by a $0.2 million increase in stock-based compensation expense.
North American Other
For the quarter ended June 30, 2008, net sales decreased 1.2 percent to $30.1 million from $30.5 million in the year-ago quarter. Components of the total decrease in net sales were a decrease of approximately 5.1 percent related to shipments of Syracuse China products, offset by increases in shipments from World Tableware and Traex of 3.0 percent and 0.9 percent, respectively.
EBIT decreased by $0.6 million for the second quarter of 2008, compared to the year-ago quarter. EBIT as a percentage of net sales decreased to 12.1 percent in the second quarter 2008, compared to 14.0 percent in the year-ago quarter. The key contributor to the decreased EBIT was a negative impact of $1.3 million related to decreased shipments of Syracuse China products and lower production activity, partially offset by an increase of $0.8 million related to higher shipments to World Tableware customers.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2008, net sales increased 29.6 percent to $41.8 million from $32.2 million in the year-ago quarter. Of the total increase in net sales, 17.0 percent was related to the currency impact of a stronger euro and RMB and the majority of the remaining increase in net sales was related to increased shipments to Libbey China customers.
EBIT increased by $0.4 million to $0.7 million for the second quarter of 2008, compared to $0.3 million in the year-ago quarter. EBIT as a percentage of net sales increased to 1.7 percent in the second quarter 2008, compared to 1.0 percent in the year-ago quarter. The key contributor to the increase in EBIT was increased net sales and production activity of $2.5 million. This was partially offset by increased depreciation expense related to our new China facility of $0.6 million, an increase in natural gas expense of $1.1 million in Europe, a $0.4 million increase in electricity costs, an increase in material costs of $0.3 million and an increase in selling, general and administrative expense of $0.6 million. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense was the result of higher net sales. In addition, the year-ago quarter included non-recurring start-up costs at our China facility of $0.9 million.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, net sales increased 4.0 percent to $282.5 million from $271.7 million in the year-ago period. Of the total increase in net sales, approximately 3.9 percent is attributable to increased shipments to Crisa customers. An additional 2.2 percent relates to shipments to retail glassware customers, partially offset by a 2.5 percent reduction in shipments to U.S. foodservice customers.
EBIT decreased $5.5 million for the first half of 2008, to $22.0 million, compared to $27.5 million for the year-ago period. As a percentage of net sales, EBIT decreased to 7.8 percent in the first six months of 2008, compared to 10.1 percent in the year-ago period. The key contributors to the decrease in EBIT compared to the year-ago period were an unfavorable sales mix and lower production activity, higher natural gas expense of $0.6 million, an increase in electricity costs of $1.5 million, an increase in material costs of $2.7 million and an increase in depreciation expense related to capital expenditures at Crisa related to its capacity rationalization of $1.6 million. Partially offsetting these were a reduction of $1.3 million in selling, general and administrative expenses related to favorable rulings in connection with an outstanding dispute regarding a warehouse lease in Mexico, lower professional fees of $1.1 million, and lower incentive compensation expense of $0.8 million offset by an increase in stock-based compensation expense of $0.5 million.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, net sales decreased 2.1 percent to $56.7 million from $57.9 million in the year-ago period. Of the decrease in net sales, 4.6 percent was primarily attributable to decreased shipments of Syracuse China products, offset by a 2.5 percent increase in shipments of World Tableware and Traex products.
EBIT decreased by $0.6 million for the first half of 2008, compared to the year-ago period. EBIT as a percentage of net sales decreased slightly to 13.2 percent in the first six months of 2008, compared to 13.9 percent in the year-ago period. The key factors in the decreased EBIT were an impact of $1.0 million related to decreased sales levels at Syracuse China, offset by a $1.2 million favorable impact due to higher net sales of World Tableware products and increased net sales and production activity at Traex of $0.6 million. Last year’s first half results benefited from a favorable impact of $1.1 million related to a gain on the sale of excess land at Syracuse China.

At June 30, 2008, our cash balance decreased $18.7 million from $36.5 million at December 31, 2007 to $17.9 million at June 30, 2008. The decrease was primarily due to the $19.6 million payment to Vitro S.A. de C.V. made in the current year related to the purchase of Crisa in 2006 and funding our ongoing working capital needs.

(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 our accounts payable.
 
(4)   Working capital is defined as accounts receivable and inventories less accounts payable. See Table 3 for the calculation of this non-GAAP financial measure and 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.
Working capital (as defined above) was $244.1 million at June 30, 2008, an increase of $30.2 million from December 31, 2007. This increase is due primarily to higher accounts receivable as a result of the high net sales for the quarter driven by strong sales in the month of June, in addition to normal seasonal increases in working capital, increased working capital at our China facility as it continued to reach full production, and the foreign currency impact which increased our euro and RMB denominated working capital by $3.6 million.

(3)   The total borrowings net include 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 $542.2 million at June 30, 2008, compared to total borrowings of $503.1 million at December 31, 2007. The $39.2 million increase in borrowings was the result of funding our operating needs, the $19.6 million payment to Vitro S.A. de C.V. made in the current year related to the purchase of Crisa in 2006, the additional $10.2 million PIK note issued June 1 and the foreign currency impact on our euro and RMB denominated debt.
Of our total indebtedness, $202.6 million, approximately 37 percent, is subject to fluctuating interest rates at June 30, 2008. A change of one percentage point in such rates would result in a change in interest expense of approximately $2.0 million on an annual basis.
Included in interest expense is the amortization of discounts, warrants and financing fees. These items amounted to $1.3 million and $2.6 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

See Table 2 for a reconciliation of net cash provided by (used in) 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 $5.1 million in the second quarter of 2008, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $4.4 million in the year-ago quarter, or an increase of $0.7 million. The major components impacting cash flow from operations were a decrease in cash used for working capital compared to the prior year quarter, offset by a reduction in earnings.

Table of Contents

Our net cash used in investing activities decreased to $8.3 million in the second quarter of 2008, compared to $12.9 million in the year-ago period, primarily as a result of reduced capital expenditures as the prior-year period included approximately $4.9 million for furnace improvements in Mexico.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $13.5 million in the second quarter of 2008, compared to net cash used in financing activities of $4.3 million in the year-ago quarter, or a increase of $17.9 million. During the second quarter of 2008, we utilized more of our capacity on the ABL Facility to fund our operating needs. The net cash used by financing activities in the year-ago period resulted in using cash on hand to repay borrowings under the ABL facility.
Our free cash flow was $(3.2) million during the second quarter 2008, compared to $(8.6) million in the year-ago quarter, an improvement of $5.4 million. The primary contributor to this change was the decrease in capital expenditures in the current period.

(1)   We believe that Free Cash Flow [net cash (used in) provided by operating activities, less capital expenditures, plus proceeds from assets sales and other] is a useful metric for evaluating our financial performance, as it is a measure we use internally to assess performance. See Table 2 for a reconciliation of net cash provided by (used in) 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 used by operating activities was $(23.1) million in the first six months of 2008, compared to $4.3 million provided by operating activities in the year-ago period, or an increased use of $27.4 million. The increased use of cash was primarily due to the $19.6 payment to Vitro S.A. de C.V. made in the current year related to the purchase of Crisa in 2006, an increase in cash used for working capital related to our new China facility and lower earnings.
Our net cash used in investing activities decreased $3.1 million, to $17.6 million in the first six months of 2008, compared to $20.7 million in the year-ago period, primarily due to decreased capital expenditures.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $21.8 million during the first six months of 2008, compared to a $10.0 million use of cash in the year-ago period. The net cash provided by financing activity in the first half of 2008 is primarily attributable to borrowing under our ABL facility to fund our operating needs. The net cash used by financing activities in the year-ago period resulted from using cash on hand to repay borrowings under the ABL facility, partially offset by borrowings on the RMB Working Capital Loan and BES Euro Line.
Our free cash flow was $(40.6) million during the first six months of 2008, compared to $(16.3) million in the year-ago period, a decrease of $24.3 million. The primary contributors to this change were the change in net cash (used in) provided by operating activities as discussed above and a $5.0 million decrease in capital expenditures. In addition, 2007 included proceeds of $2.1 million on 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. The fixed interest rate for our borrowings related to the Rate Agreements at June 30, 2008, 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 1.4 years at June 30, 2008. Total remaining Senior Notes not covered by the Rate Agreements have fluctuating interest rates with a weighted average rate of 9.93 percent per year at June 30, 2008. 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 June 30, 2008, by Standard and Poor’s.
The fair market value for the Rate Agreements at June 30, 2008, was $(6.1) million. At December 31, 2007, the fair market value of these Rate Agreements was a $(5.3) 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.
We also use commodity futures contracts related to forecasted future North American 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 70 percent of our anticipated requirements, generally six or more months in the future. The fair values of these instruments are determined from market quotes. At June 30, 2008, we had commodity futures contracts for 1,700,000 million British Thermal Units (BTUs) of natural gas with a fair market value of $5.7 million. We have hedged a portion of forecasted transactions through December 2010. At December 31, 2007, we had commodity futures contracts for 2,820,000 million BTUs of natural gas with a fair market value of $(1.8) million.
In January 2008, we entered into a series of foreign currency contracts to sell Canadian dollars. As of June 30, 2008, we had contracts for 4.5 million Canadian dollars with a fair value of $0.1 million. During 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. The fair value of the foreign currency contract at December 31, 2007 was $0.4 million.
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
The company anticipates that third quarter net sales will continue to be solid, in the range of $220 million to $225 million and EBITDA to be between $27 million and $29 million.
As the result of our performance to date and expectations for ongoing energy cost pressure, we now anticipate full year 2008 EBITDA to be in the range of approximately $114 million to $118 million on expected net sales of more than $870 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.

We define EBIT as net income before interest expense and income taxes. The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure is earnings before interest and income taxes.
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. The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure is earnings before interest and income taxes.
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 define free cash flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures adjusted for proceeds from asset sales and other. 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.

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, operational performance and to set performance targets for managers.
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 $202.6 million of debt subject to fluctuating interest rates at June 30, 2008. A change of one percentage point in such rates would result in a change in interest expense of approximately $2.0 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’ credit ratings are rated AA or better as of June 30, 2008, 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. 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 70 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 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’ credit ratings are rated A or better by Standard and Poor’s.
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:

39


Table of Contents

    A change of 1 percent in the discount rate would change our total annual expense by approximately $1.6 million.
 
    A change of 1 percent in the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets would change annual pension expense by approximately $2.6 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 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 international growth contemplated by 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.

    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.
