	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
	In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.” This ASU requires that an entity’s management evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. The ASU becomes effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016 and for interim periods thereafter. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” This ASU outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance in FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, including industry-specific guidance.  The ASU is based on the principle that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.  The ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to fulfill a contract.  The ASU becomes effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period; early adoption is not permitted.  Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach for the adoption of the new standard.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.
	In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.” This ASU changes the definition of a discontinued operation to include only those disposals of components of an entity that represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. The provisions of this ASU are effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new ASU.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryfoward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists.” This ASU provides that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion thereof, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except to the extent that a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date to settle any additional income taxes that would result from disallowance of a tax position, or the tax law does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, then the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented as a liability. The provisions of this ASU are effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
	In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, “Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity.” This ASU clarified that, when a reporting entity (parent) ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business within a foreign entity, the parent is required to release any related cumulative translation adjustment into net income. The cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net income only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided. The FASB also clarified that if a business combination is achieved in stages related to a previously held equity method investment (step-acquisition) that is a foreign entity, the amount of accumulated other comprehensive income that is reclassified and included in the calculation of gain or loss as of the acquisition date shall include any foreign currency translation adjustment related to that previously held investment. The amendments are effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
	In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” This ASU requires entities to disclose either in the notes or parenthetically on the face of the statement showing net income the impact to the affected net income line for items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) and into net income in their entirety. Items not reclassified out of AOCI into net income in their entirety must be disclosed in the footnotes and not on the face of the financial statements. Items that may be reclassified out of AOCI and into net income include (1) unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities; (2) deferred gains or losses on cash flow hedges; (3) cumulative translation adjustments on foreign operations; and (4) deferred items relating to pension and non-pension defined benefit post-retirement plans. The provisions of this ASU are effective prospectively for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2012, including interim periods. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Measurement and Derivatives	'
	Fair Value Measurement and Derivatives
	Fair Value of Financial Instruments – The fair value framework requires the categorization of assets and liabilities into three levels based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to price the assets or liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. The three levels are defined as follows:
	•	Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
	•	Level 2 - Observable inputs other than those included in Level 1. For example, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets.
	•	Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability.
	The amounts of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and our asset-based revolving facility (the “ABL Facility”) approximate fair value because of their short-term maturities. The carrying amounts of our long term debt approximate fair value based on interest rates currently available for instruments with similar terms. For intangible assets, we used a relief from royalty method to estimate the fair value. For goodwill, we used a combination of discounted cash flows and a market comparable analysis to estimate fair value.
	The fair values of our assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis are categorized as follows (in thousands):
		September 30, 2014															December 31, 2013
	Asset (liability):	Total				Level 1				Level 2			Level 3				Total			Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
	Natural gas futures	$	14			$	—			$	14		$	—			$	67		$	—	$	67	$	—
	Derivatives Transactions - We account for derivatives in accordance with FASB ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). We utilize derivative financial instruments to hedge commodity price risks associated with natural gas requirements and foreign exchange rate risks associated with the effects of foreign currency fluctuations. If the derivative is designed and qualifies as a cash flow hedge, the changes in fair value of the derivative instrument may be recorded in comprehensive income. The natural gas commodity price hedges qualify for hedge accounting since the hedges are highly effective, and we have designated and documented contemporaneously the hedging relationship involving these derivative instruments. Any hedges that 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 earnings.
	Our derivative instruments consist of forward agreements related to certain forecasted usage of natural gas in production of finished goods. Our derivative contracts are valued using quoted market prices and significant observable and unobservable inputs. The fair value for the majority of our foreign currency derivative contracts are obtained by comparing our contract rate to a published forward price of the underlying market rate, which is based on market rates for comparable transactions and are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
	The following table summarizes the notional amount of our open natural gas futures (in thousands):
		September 30, 2014								December 31, 2013
		U.S. $ Equivalent				U.S. Equivalent Fair Value				U.S. $ Equivalent			U.S. Equivalent Fair Value
	Natural gas futures	$	1,128			$	1,142			$	6,580		$	6,647
	We consider the impact of our credit risk on the fair value of the contracts, as well as the ability to execute obligations under the contract.

	Business Combination and Acquisitions
	On January 31, 2013, ROI, ROI Merger Sub Corp. (“Merger Sub Corp.”), ROI Merger Sub LLC (“Merger Sub LLC”), and Former EveryWare entered into a Business Combination Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) providing for the merger of Merger Sub Corp. with and into Former EveryWare (the “Business Combination”), with Former EveryWare surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of ROI, immediately followed by the merger of Former EveryWare with and into Merger Sub LLC, with Merger Sub LLC surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of ROI. On May 21, 2013, the stockholders of ROI approved the Business Combination, and the Business Combination was consummated. In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, ROI changed its name from ROI Acquisition Corp. to EveryWare Global, Inc. Former EveryWare was previously a private company. ROI was incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware in 2011 for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination involving ROI and one or more businesses.
	On May 21, 2013 (the “Closing Date”), pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Business Combination was consummated. In connection with the Business Combination, we redeemed 4,679,627 shares of our common stock pursuant to the terms of our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation, resulting in a total payment to redeeming stockholders of $46.7 million. In the Business Combination, we paid the following consideration to the former equity holders of Former EveryWare: (i) $90.0 million in aggregate cash consideration, (ii) 12,190,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and (iii) 3,500,000 additional shares which were subject to forfeiture in the event that the trading price of the Company’s common stock did not exceed certain price targets subsequent to the closing (the “Earnout Shares”).
	As of the Closing Date the former equity holders of Former EveryWare owned approximately 71.2% of our outstanding common stock (including the Earnout Shares), the ROI founders and sponsors owned approximately 16.0% of our outstanding common stock, and the pre-closing ROI public stockholders owned approximately 12.8% of our outstanding common stock.
	The number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination is summarized as follows:
		Number of Shares
	ROI public shares outstanding prior to business combination	7,500,000
	ROI founder shares	1,885,000
	Total ROI shares outstanding prior to business combination	9,385,000
	Less: redemption of ROI public shares	(4,679,627	)
	Total ROI shares outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of the business combination	4,705,373
	Common shares issues as consideration to members of Former EveryWare	15,690,000
	Common shares issued to sponsor of ROI	1,650,000
	Total common shares outstanding at closing, May 21, 2013	22,045,373
	As of the Closing Date, there were 22,045,373 shares of common stock of the Company outstanding and warrants exercisable for 5,838,334 shares of common stock were also outstanding. The 22,045,373 shares of common stock included 3,500,000 Earnout Shares and 551,471 shares held by the sponsors of ROI, that were subject to forfeiture until certain price targets were achieved. In the event the last sale price of our common stock does not equal or exceed certain price targets subsequent to the Closing Date (as adjusted for stock splits, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within at least one 30 trading day period on or prior to the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, each Former EveryWare stockholder would forfeit any and all rights to a pro rata portion of the shares which were issued at the closing as part of the Earnout Shares.
		Vesting Triggered at $11.00			Vesting Triggered at $12.50	Vesting Triggered at $15.00
	Former EveryWare stockholders	1,000,000			1,250,000	1,250,000
	Sponsors of ROI	—			267,380	284,091
	Total Earnout Shares	1,000,000			1,517,380	1,534,091
	During the three months ended September 30, 2013, the vesting triggers associated with $11.00 and $12.50 share prices were achieved; therefore 2,250,000 Earnout Shares and 267,380 of the shares held by sponsors of ROI vested.
	Accounting Treatment of Business Combination
	Former EveryWare is considered the acquirer of ROI for accounting purposes, and the Business Combination has been accounted for as a recapitalization of Former EveryWare because it obtained effective control of ROI. There was no change in control since Former EveryWare’s operations comprise the ongoing operations of the combined entity, its senior management became the senior management of the combined entity, and its former owners own a majority voting interest in the combined entity and are able to elect a majority of the combined entity’s board of directors. Accordingly, the Business Combination does not constitute the acquisition of a business for purposes of ASC 805. As a result, the assets and liabilities of Former EveryWare and ROI are carried at historical cost and therefore we have not recorded any step-up in basis or any intangible assets or goodwill as a result of the Business Combination. All direct costs of the Business Combination are offset to additional paid-in-capital. The financial statements presented herein are those of Former EveryWare for all periods prior to the Business Combination.
	In the condensed consolidated financial statements, the recapitalization of the number of shares of common stock attributable to Former EveryWare stockholders is reflected retroactively to January 1, 2012. Accordingly, the number of shares of common stock presented as outstanding as of January 1, 2012, totaled 12,190,000, consisting of the number of shares of common stock issued to Former EveryWare stockholders. This number of shares was also used to calculate the Company’s earnings per share for all periods prior to the Business Combination.
	The cash flows related to the Business Combination, are summarized as follows (in thousands):
		2013
	Cash in trust at ROI	$	75,173
	Add: proceeds from issuance of shares	16,500
	Less: redemption of ROI public shares	(46,741		)
	Less: payment to warrant holders	(5,838		)
	Net cash received in the Business Combination	$	39,094
	We used the $39.1 million of cash received in the Business Combination, together with $69.9 million of proceeds from debt incurred in connection with the Business Combination, to fund the $90.0 million payment to Former EveryWare shareholders and pay fees and expenses of $19.0 million related to the Business Combination.
	Metalrax Acquisition/Disposition
	On June 18, 2013, we completed the acquisition of the Samuel Groves and George Wilkinson business divisions of Metalrax Housewares Limited (“Metalrax”), a United Kingdom housewares manufacturer and distribution company, for approximately $3.5 million. We accounted for the Metalrax acquisition by the acquisition method of accounting. Under acquisition accounting, the total purchase price was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of Metalrax based upon their respective fair values. Our preliminary valuations for the property, plant and equipment, inventory, and intangible assets were performed at the date of acquisition. Subsequent to the date of acquisition, we engaged a third party to perform a formal valuation of the intangible assets. As a result, it was determined that we had entered into a bargain purchase transaction, in which the fair value of the acquired assets exceeded the consideration transferred. Therefore, during the third quarter of 2013, we recorded a gain on the bargain purchase of the Metalrax business in the amount of approximately $1.2 million. The Metalrax business was subsequently sold on August 21, 2014 as part of the sale of our U.K. business. As a result, the operating results of Metalrax from the date of acquisition to the date of disposition and the assets and liabilities of Metalrax are reflected as part of discontinued operations. See Note 5 - Discontinued Operations.
	Brazilian Joint Venture
	On September 16, 2013, Universal Tabletop, Inc. (“Universal”) entered into a joint venture agreement with BT Partners, a Brazilian sociedade limitada, through a newly organized Brazilian limited liability company EveryWare Global Brasil Distribuidora, Ltda (“EveryWare Brasil”). This agreement allows EveryWare Brasil to focus on distributing Universal products within the Brazilian tabletop market. At the date of the joint venture, we held 60% ownership and BT Partners held 40% ownership in EveryWare Brasil, which we deemed a voting interest entity. As a result, we consolidated the joint venture in our consolidated financial statements according to the voting model. The Company accounts for this transaction as a non-controlling interest. During the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2014, we decided to terminate our interest in our EveryWare Brasil joint venture, in an effort to preserve cash and focus on our core markets. We expect to complete the dissolution over the balance of 2014. In connection with the dissolution of the joint venture, we recorded a $0.3 million charge during the three months ended June 30, 2014, to write down our investment in the joint venture and anticipate that we will liquidate the remaining working capital during the balance of 2014.

	Restructuring Activities
	In 2013, restructuring expenses included $0.2 million of employee-related costs associated with closing our Canadian offices and warehouse, which was partially offset by a change in estimate of $0.2 million for unused space in the Savannah, Georgia, distribution center. In 2014, we announced our plans to close our regional office in Oneida, New York, and a smaller satellite office in Melville, New York, as part of our ongoing integration of the Oneida business. Employee related severances of $0.3 million were recorded as restructuring expense. During the three months ended June 30, 2014 , we accepted an offer to sell our Oneida, New York office building at a price lower than our carrying value and therefore we recorded an impairment. See Note 8 - Goodwill, Intangibles, and Other Long-lived Assets for additional information.

Goodwill, Intangibles, and Other Long-lived Assets	'
	Goodwill, Intangibles, and Other Long-lived Assets
	Estimating the fair value of goodwill, intangibles, and other long-lived assets is judgmental in nature and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions include revenue growth rates and operating margins used to calculate projected future cash flows, risk-adjusted discount rates, future economic and market conditions, and determination of appropriate market comparables. We base our fair value estimates on assumptions we believe to be reasonable but that are inherently uncertain.
	Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets – Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment annually, utilizing a two-step approach, in the fourth fiscal quarter and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. The first step requires the determination of the fair value of the reporting unit compared to the book value of that reporting unit. If the book value exceeds the fair value, a second step impairment test is required to measure the amount of impairment. Implied fair value of goodwill is determined by considering both the income and market approaches.
	Intangible Assets - Definite-Lived – We review definite-lived intangible assets for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If the estimated undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of such assets, we recognize an impairment loss in an amount necessary to write-down the assets to fair value as estimated from the net present value of expected future discounted cash flows. Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated life of the asset.
	Long-lived Assets – We review long-lived assets for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that carrying amounts of an asset group may not be recoverable. Our asset groups are established by determining the lowest level of cash flows available. If the estimated undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amounts of such assets, we recognize an impairment loss in an amount necessary to write-down the assets to fair value as estimated from the net present value of expected future discounted cash flows.
	Impairment Indicators – Factors that may be considered a change in circumstances indicating that the carrying amount of our goodwill or intangible assets may not be recoverable include slower growth rates in our markets, reduced expected future cash flows and a decline in stock price and market capitalization. We consider available current information when calculating our impairment charge. If there are indicators of impairment, our long-term cash flow forecasts for our operations deteriorate or discount rates increase, we may be required to recognize additional impairment charges in later periods. In light of our higher than expected losses in the recent quarters, expected losses going forward, and recent cash flow deficits, we determined that impairment indicators existed during the period ended June 30, 2014. Accordingly, as shown in the table below, based upon revised revenue assumptions and projected cash flows we recorded an impairment of approximately $3.0 million relating to our indefinite-lived ONEIDA® tradename in the Canadian consumer segment and Web business, and $0.1 million relating to definite-lived tradename licenses as the carrying value exceeded the fair value. During the three months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded an impairment of our long-lived assets of approximately $1.7 million relating to our Oneida, NY, Office building.

	Leases – We lease numerous warehouses, office facilities and several retail outlet stores. All leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the minimum lease term.
	Litigation – We are involved in various routine legal proceedings incidental to the operation of our business. We do not believe that it is reasonably possible that any ongoing or pending litigation will have a material effect on our future financial position, net income, or cash flows. Notwithstanding the foregoing, legal proceedings involve an element of uncertainty. Future developments could cause these legal proceedings to have a material adverse effect on our future financial statements.
	Our Buffalo China, Inc. subsidiary (“Buffalo China”) entered into a brownfield program clean up agreement in 2008 with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation for the former Buffalo China manufacturing facility in Buffalo, New York. Buffalo China retained liability for the clean-up when it sold the facility to the Niagara Ceramics Corporation. In December 2012, we received a Certificate of Completion from New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. An accrual of approximately $0.5 million representing testing and other final site monitoring costs was reflected in accrued liabilities at September 30, 2014.
	In June 2006, the Phase I and II studies of the Oneida knife facility located in Oneida, New York, prepared in connection with the sale of that facility, discovered a reportable event relative to the presence of asbestos, ancient petroleum and volatile organic compounds contamination. We entered into a brownfield program clean up agreement with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation regarding this facility. A site remediation and cost plan has been developed and is being finalized. During the three months ended June 30, 2014, we increased the accrual for site demolition and clean-up by approximately $0.4 million. As of September 30, 2014, we had an accrual of approximately $1.0 million reflected in accrued liabilities.
	Collective Bargaining Agreements – We are party to collective bargaining agreements for most of our manufacturing and distribution employees. On March 9, 2013, we signed a five-year collective bargaining agreement with the United Steelworkers covering our Monaca, Pennsylvania, manufacturing plant. This agreement covers the period from March 9, 2013, through September 30, 2017. On October 1, 2013, we signed a three-year collective bargaining agreement with the United Steelworkers covering our Lancaster, Ohio, manufacturing and distribution facilities. This agreement covers the period from October 1, 2013, through September 30, 2016. On October 16, 2013, we signed a three-year collective bargaining agreement with the United Steelworkers covering our Lancaster, Ohio, mold makers. This agreement covers the period from October 16, 2013 through September 30, 2016.
	On July 30, 2014, we signed a Memorandum of Agreement (“MOA”) with the United Steelworkers covering our Lancaster, Ohio, manufacturing and distribution facilities, and a separate MOA with the United Steelworkers covering our Lancaster, Ohio, mold makers. This MOA amends the collective bargaining agreements dated October 1, 2013, and October 16, 2013 to provide changes for: (i) lower wage rates, (ii) an annual profit sharing, (iii) changes to health insurance and 401(k) benefit plans, (iv) certain expenditures at the Lancaster facility, and (iv) consultation and discussion related to certain transactions.

	Term Loan Credit Agreement
	The Term Loan, completed on May 21, 2013, refinanced the $150.0 million term loan facility (the “Old Term Loan”) and was syndicated by Deutsche Bank AG as administrative agent for the syndicated lenders. The principal amount of the Term Loan is $250.0 million, and it has a maturity date of May 21, 2020. Anchor Hocking and Oneida are co-borrowers (“Borrowers”) under the Term Loan. The Term Loan is guaranteed by Universal and its domestic subsidiaries. The Term Loan is secured on first-priority basis by the assets of Universal and its domestic subsidiaries, other than with respect to the assets securing the ABL Facility, which secure the Term Loan facility on a second-priority basis. Principal amortization is payable in consecutive quarterly installments beginning September 30, 2013, in the amount of 0.25% of the amount of the Term Loan outstanding on the Term Loan closing date until maturity. The Borrowers are also obligated to make mandatory prepayments upon the occurrence of certain events, including additional debt issuances, common and preferred stock issuances, certain asset sales, and excess cash flow generation. In connection with the refinancing of the Term Loan on May 21, 2013, we capitalized deferred financing fees of $8.6 million and wrote off $6.2 million associated with the refinanced Old Term Loan.
	On July 30, 2014 (the “Closing Date”), the Borrowers and Universal entered into Waiver and Amendment No. 1 to Term Loan Agreement (the “Term Loan Amendment”) governing the Term Loan, which provides for among other things, a waiver of the events of default that occurred as a result of the Borrowers’ failure to comply with the consolidated leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio covenants for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, and amendments to the Term Loan Agreement. In connection with the Term Loan Amendment, the Borrowers paid an amendment fee of 0.5% of the Term Loan then outstanding. The Term Loan Agreement provided for an increase in the applicable interest rate margin of 2.00% for both Eurodollar Rate and Base Rate borrowings, of which 0.25% is payable in cash on a monthly basis and 1.75% is payable in kind on a quarterly basis. Due to the material modification in terms of the Term Loan, we accounted for the Term Loan Amendment as an extinguishment of debt under ASC 470-50 “Modifications of Debt.” In connection with the Term Loan Amendment, we capitalized deferred financing fees of $4.8 million which will be amortized over the remaining life of the agreement and expensed $7.2 million of deferred financing fees related to the refinancing of the Term Loan on May 21, 2013. As of September 30, 2014, approximately $5.6 million in deferred fees relating to our term loan were being amortized over the remaining life of the agreement.
	As of September 30, 2014, at the Borrower’s option, borrowings under the Term Loan bore interest at a rate equal to either (i) in the case of base rate loans, a base rate equal to the greatest of (a) the prime rate in effect on such day, (b) the federal funds effective rate in effect on such day plus 0.50% and (c) the Eurodollar rate for a one-month interest period plus 1.00% (provided that the base rate will be deemed to be not less than 2.25%), plus a margin of 7.25%, or (ii) in the case of Eurodollar loans, a Eurodollar rate equal to (a) LIBOR divided by (b) one minus an applicable reserve requirement (subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.25% per annum), plus a margin of 8.25%. Principal amortization is payable in consecutive quarterly installments beginning September 30, 2013, in the amount of 0.25% of the amount of the Term Loan outstanding on the Term Loan Closing Date until maturity.
	The Term Loan Amendment gives the Borrowers relief under the consolidated leverage ratio covenant and the interest coverage ratio covenants by eliminating the requirement to comply with these covenants until the quarter ending September 30, 2015, and amended the definition of consolidated adjusted EBITDA, which is used in the calculation of certain of the financial covenants. As amended, the maximum consolidated leverage ratio financial covenant requires Universal to maintain a maximum consolidated leverage ratio (as calculated in accordance with the Term Loan Agreement) as of the last day of any fiscal quarter beginning with the quarter ending September 30, 2015 as follows:
	Beginning with the quarter ending:	Maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio
	30-Sep-15	11.20 : 1.00

	30-Sep-16	7.00 : 1.00
	December 31, 2016 and thereafter	6.30 : 1.00
	As amended, the minimum interest coverage ratio financial covenant requires Universal to maintain a consolidated interest coverage ratio (as calculated in accordance with the Term Loan Agreement) as of the last day of any fiscal quarter beginning with the quarter ending September 30, 2015, as follows:
	Beginning with the quarter ending:	Minimum Interest Coverage Ratio
	30-Sep-15	1.25 : 1.00

	The Term Loan Amendment adds another financial covenant, which requires Universal to maintain a minimum consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for the two fiscal quarters ending March 31, 2015 of $10.9 million and a minimum consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for the three fiscal quarters ending June 30, 2015 of $15.7 million.
	Pursuant to the Term Loan Amendment, the time period during which voluntary prepayments of amounts outstanding under the Term Loan are permitted was extended so that the Borrowers may make voluntary prepayments, subject to prepayment premiums of 2.0% if made on or prior to March 31, 2015 and 1.0% if made on or prior to March 31, 2016.
	In addition, the Term Loan Amendment provided for the issuance to the lenders under the Term Loan of warrants (the “Lender Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 2,958,670 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $0.01 per share and a term of seven years. The Lender Warrants provide for customary adjustments to account for any stock splits, recapitalizations, mergers, combinations, asset sales, stock dividends and similar events. The Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 to register the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of certain of the Lender Warrants on October 14, 2014.
	Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility
	On May 21, 2013, the Borrowers entered into a second amended and restated loan and security agreement (hereinafter the “ABL Facility”) by and among the Borrowers, Universal, as a guarantor, each wholly-owned domestic subsidiary of the Borrowers party thereto, as guarantors (together with Universal, the “Guarantors”), each lender from time to time party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent for the lenders. The ABL agreement provides for the ABL Facility, a five-year asset-based revolving credit facility in an initial aggregate principal amount of up to $50.0 million (as may be increased from time to time, the “maximum revolver amount”), subject to the borrowing base limitation and compliance with a fixed charge coverage ratio financial covenant if adjusted availability under the ABL Facility is below a specified amount, as described below. The facility matures on May 21, 2018. Up to an aggregate of $20.0 million will be available to the Borrowers for the issuance of letters of credit, which reduce availability under the ABL Facility.
	The ABL agreement also provides for borrowings on same-day notice, referred to as “swingline loans.” Borrowing of a swingline loan will reduce availability under the ABL Facility. The Borrowers may request to increase the maximum revolver amount in increments of not less than $5.0 million not more than three times during the term of the ABL agreement, so long as the maximum size of the ABL Facility does not exceed $75.0 million. Any such increase in the maximum revolver amount will be at the discretion of the lenders and certain other eligible lenders and will be subject to the borrowing base limitation described below. On October 28, 2013, we were granted an increase of the maximum commitment under the ABL Facility by $5.0 million to a total of $55.0 million commitment. On July 30, 2014, the Borrowers and Universal entered into Amendment No. 6, which amended the ABL Facility to increase the maximum revolver amount available thereunder from $55.0 million to $60.0 million, subject to the borrowing base limitation described below. Availability under the ABL Facility is subject to an asset-based borrowing formula based on eligible accounts receivable and inventory. At September 30, 2014, we had outstanding ABL Facility borrowings of approximately $28.0 million subject to variable interest rates (average rate of 3.9%) and excess availability under the ABL Facility of $14.0 million to be drawn upon as needed (which includes a reduction of $10.5 million for outstanding standby letters of credit). The ABL Facility is guaranteed by Universal and its domestic subsidiaries. The ABL Facility is secured on a first-priority basis by certain current assets, such as accounts receivable, inventory, cash, securities, deposit accounts, and securities accounts.
	Anchor Hocking and Oneida are co-borrowers under the ABL Facility. Borrowings under the ABL Facility are guaranteed, subject to certain customary exceptions and limitations, by Universal and Anchor Hocking’s and Oneida’s wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries and are secured by certain of Anchor Hocking’s and Oneida’s and such guarantors’ assets on a first-priority basis, other than those assets that secure the term loan.
	The aggregate amount of revolving loans permitted to be made to the Borrowers under the ABL Facility may not exceed a borrowing base consisting of: (a) the lesser of (i) the maximum revolver amount, and (ii) the sum of certain eligible accounts receivable and certain eligible inventory (which eligible inventory shall not exceed 70% of the maximum revolver amount), minus (b) certain availability reserves which the administrative agent or the collateral agent deems necessary, including reserves for any amounts which either agent or any lender may be obligated to pay in the future for the account of any Borrower and, if and when availability is less than $10.0 million, reserves determined by the agents in respect of certain cash management and/or hedging obligations then outstanding. At September 30, 2014, our borrowing base was $60.0 million.
	Borrowings under the ABL Facility bear interest at either: (i) LIBO Rate or (ii) the Base Rate (which means for any day, a rate per annum equal to the greater of: (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, and (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus 0.50%, and (c) the LIBO Rate plus 1.00%). In addition, the facilities have applicable interest rate margins. For LIBO Rate and Base Rate borrowings, the margin is determined according to an availability matrix. The margin at September 30, 2014, was 2.00% and 1.00% for LIBO and Base Rate, respectively. In connection with amending and restating the ABL revolving credit facility (the “Old ABL Facility”), which had a maximum availability of $85.0 million, we capitalized deferred financing fees of $0.2 million and wrote off $0.3 million. As of September 30, 2014, approximately $1.1 million in deferred fees relating to the ABL Facility were being amortized over the remaining life of the agreement.
	On May 14, 2014, the Borrowers entered into Amendment No. 1 to the ABL Credit Agreement to include a larger percentage of suppressed borrowing base assets in the determination of adjusted availability from May 13, 2014 through May 30, 2014. This amendment allowed the Borrowers to borrow up to an additional $4.125 million under the ABL Facility during this period without triggering the requirement to satisfy the fixed charge ratio covenant under the ABL Facility.
	On May 30, 2014, the Borrowers entered into Amendment No. 2 to the ABL Credit Agreement to extend the period during which the increase in availability, which was previously set to expire on May 30, 2014, to the earlier of (i) June 30, 2014 and (ii) the date on which the forbearance period under the Forbearance Agreement (as described below) with the Term Loan lenders terminates.
	Amendment No. 2 to the ABL Credit Agreement increased the applicable margin for interest rates and lowered the thresholds for rate tiers 1 and 2 applicable to borrowings under the ABL Facility, so that the applicable margin is based upon the quarterly average availability for the immediately preceding three month period as follows:
	Tier	Quarterly Average Availability	Applicable LIBO Rate Margin		Applicable Base Rate Margin
	1	Greater than 30% of the maximum revolver amount	2	%	1	%
	2	Greater than 15% of the maximum revolver amount but less than 30% of the maximum revolver amount	2.25	%	1.25	%
	3	Less than 15% of the maximum revolver amount	2.5	%	1.5	%
	Amendment No. 2 to the ABL Credit Agreement provided that the collateral agent under the ABL Credit Agreement may exercise cash dominion over certain of the Borrowers’ and guarantors’ deposit accounts whether or not an availability triggering event specified in the ABL Credit Agreement has occurred or is continuing. Amendment No. 2 to the ABL Credit Agreement also provided that the administrative agent under the ABL Credit Agreement is authorized to engage a financial advisor, at the Borrower’s expense, to review the Borrowers’ books and records, projections and budgets and information regarding the collateral.
	On June 30, 2014, July 15, 2014 and July 22, 2014, the Borrowers entered into further amendments to the ABL Credit Agreement to extend the period of increased availability through July 29, 2014. On July 30, 2014, the Borrowers and Universal entered into Amendment No. 6 to the ABL Credit Agreement (the “ABL Amendment No. 6”), which amended the ABL Facility to increase the maximum revolver amount available thereunder from $55.0 million to $60.0 million.
	ABL Amendment No. 6 includes certain other amendments, including: (i) an agreement by Universal and the Borrowers to provide monthly operating financial reports to the administrative agent promptly after they are provided to the Company’s Board of Directors; (ii) an amendment to the covenant limiting distributions to eliminate the ability of Universal to pay dividends and make certain other distributions that they were previously entitled to make subject to certain conditions being met; and (iii) an amendment to the definition of EBITDA so that the add back for cash restructuring charges, fees and expenses and any professional fees was reduced from 15.0% to 12.5% of EBITDA for the applicable measurement period.
	Terms, Covenants and Compliance Status
	The Term Loan and ABL Facility each contain customary operating and financial conditions and covenants, including but not limited to restrictions on additional indebtedness, mergers and acquisitions, liens, investments, issuances of capital stock, and dividends. In addition, the Term Loan required that a maximum leverage ratio and minimum interest coverage ratio be maintained. The ABL Facility required that a certain minimum fixed charge coverage ratio be maintained if adjusted availability (as defined under the agreement) is below 12.5% of the Maximum Revolver Amount, or $7.5 million, at September 30, 2014. At September 30, 2014, the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant under the ABL Facility was not operative as availability was greater than $7.5 million. Failure to satisfy any of the covenants could result in an event of default that could result in an inability to access the funds necessary to fund our operations.
	Although the Term Loan Amendment gave us temporary relief from financial covenant compliance in the near future, we will be required to comply with a minimum EBITDA covenant in the quarters ending March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015 and consolidated leverage ratio and the consolidated interest coverage ratio covenants beginning with the quarter ending September 30, 2015. Our ability to comply with these covenants, when applicable, depends on a number of factors, some of which are outside of our control. Based on our current forecast, we believe that we will be able to maintain compliance with these financial covenants when they apply. We base our forecasts on historical experience, industry forecasts and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. If actual revenue is less than our current forecast, or if we do not achieve operational improvements and cost savings, we could violate the financial covenants again in the future.
	If we were unable to comply with the financial covenants in the future, and we were not able to obtain a waiver or forbearance and an amendment from our lenders or equity contributions sufficient to utilize the equity “cure” provision in the Term Loan Agreement, it would result in an uncured default under the Term Loan Agreement. If a default under the Term Loan Agreement were not cured or waived, the indebtedness under the Term Loan Agreement could be declared immediately due and payable and, upon acceleration of the outstanding indebtedness under the Term Loan, we would be in default under our ABL Facility and we would be precluded from borrowing under our ABL Facility. If we were unable to borrow under the ABL Facility, we would need to meet our capital requirements using other sources. Alternative sources of liquidity may not be available on acceptable terms if at all. Even if we were able to obtain an amendment, forbearance agreement or waiver in the future, we might be required to agree to other changes in the Term Loan Agreement, including increased interest rates or premiums, more restrictive covenants and/or pay a fee for such amendment, forbearance agreement or waiver. Any of these events would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and liquidity.
	PBGC Promissory Note
	On September 15, 2006, Oneida issued a $3.0 million promissory note to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation payable in equal installments annually over 10 years. As of September 30, 2014, approximately $0.6 million was outstanding on the promissory note. Interest with respect to the promissory note is paid annually at a rate of 4.5%. The promissory note matures on December 31, 2015.
	U.K. Short Term Borrowing
	Prior to the sale of our U.K. subsidiary, we maintained a borrowing facility to support its working capital requirements with Burdale Financial Limited, an affiliate of our U.S. lender, Wells Fargo (the “U.K. Revolver”). The borrowers under this facility were Oneida International Limited and Oneida U.K. Limited, indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of EveryWare Global, Inc. The U.K. Revolver had a £7.0 million maximum collateral commitment based on eligible inventory and accounts receivable at our United Kingdom subsidiary. Borrowings under the U.K. Revolver were guaranteed by the Company. On August 21, 2014, Oneida UK Limited sold the share capital of Oneida International pursuant to an Agreement (the “Share Purchase Agreement”) with HUK 54 Limited (the “Buyer”), a subsidiary of Hilco Capital Limited, for consideration of an aggregate of £3.7 million consisting of indebtedness repaid by Buyer at closing, including amounts due to the Company and the repayment of the U.K. Revolver. On the closing date, the Buyer repaid in full all outstanding amounts due and owing under the U.K. Revolver, including an early termination penalty. All of the Company’s commitments and obligations under the U.K. Revolver were terminated, including its guarantee of indebtedness thereunder.

	Income Taxes
	We account for taxes under the liability method of computing deferred income taxes. Under the liability method, deferred income taxes are based on the tax effect of temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are adjusted for tax rate changes as they occur. Deferred tax assets are reduced by valuation allowances to the extent their realization is uncertain.
	The following table summarizes our provision for income taxes and the related effective tax rates:
		Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
		2014			2013			2014			2013
	Loss before income taxes	$	(38,346	)	$	(2,499	)	$	(77,690	)	$	(2,290	)
	Income tax expense (benefit)	199			(660		)	19,972			(420		)
	Effective tax rate	-0.5		%	26.4		%	-25.7		%	18.3		%
	For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recorded a (0.5)% and (25.7)% effective tax rate compared to 26.4% and 18.3% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. The tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 differs from the U.S. statutory tax rate of 34% mainly due to the recognition of a full valuation allowance associated with our U.S. net deferred tax assets and the continued recognition of a full valuation allowance in certain of our foreign jurisdictions.
	After taking into account the pre-tax loss incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2014, we determined that a full valuation allowance should be recorded against the entire net deferred tax asset that was recognized at December 31, 2013. Negative evidence in the form of a recent history of losses resulted in the determination that the realized net deferred tax asset of $20.7 million at March 31, 2014, should be fully reserved. In considering the need for the additional valuation allowance, we ignored netting a deferred tax liability of $8.9 million associated with indefinite long-lived intangibles because these liabilities cannot be used to offset our net deferred tax asset when determining the amount of valuation allowance required. In light of our higher than expected losses in the current quarter and expected losses going forward, we will continue to recognize a full valuation allowance until substantial positive evidence supports its reversal.

	Employee Benefit Plans
	Pension Benefit Plans - We sponsor various qualified and non-qualified pension plans in the United States which cover all eligible employees, as defined. Our qualified pension liability relates to a defined benefit plan covering the former salaried and union employees of Buffalo China, which are frozen. Our non-qualified pension plan liability relates to two unfunded plans designed to provide additional retirement benefits to former executives of Oneida; the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan and the Restoration Plan. On August 21, 2014, in connection with the sale of Oneida International, the purchaser assumed the defined benefit plan covering employees in the U.K. Our policy is to make annual contributions to the plans to fund the normal cost as required by local regulations. We anticipate contributing approximately $1.8 million to our pension plans for the full year 2014.

Based on the size and nature of the liability we have elected to perform an ASC 715-60 calculation of the post-retirement health benefits for our Oneida Canada (non-U.S. Plan) on a biennial basis. Therefore the liability for 2013 is based on the calculation done for December 31, 2012, and will be re-valued in 2014.

Temporary Equity Disclosure [Abstract]	'
Contingently Redeemable Series A Preferred Stock	'
	Contingently Redeemable Series A Preferred Stock
	On July 30, 2014 (the “Closing Date”), the Company and the Monomoy Funds entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which the Monomoy Funds agreed to invest $20.0 million in return for Series A Senior Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) at a price of $1,000 per preferred share. In connection with the purchase of the Preferred Stock, the Company issued to the Monomoy Funds warrants to acquire 4,438,004 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Sponsor Warrants”). The Monomoy Funds received a fee of $1.2 million for investing in the Preferred Stock, which was paid in additional shares of the Preferred Stock. As a result, the initial liquidation value of the Preferred Stock is $21.2 million.
	Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation (the “Certificate of Designation”) authorizing the Preferred Stock, the Preferred Stock ranks senior to all other capital securities of the Company. The Preferred Stock will accrue a 15% cumulative annual dividend on the Liquidation Preference, payable quarterly in kind and compounded quarterly on each of February 1, May 1, August 1 and November 1. The dividends will be added to the Liquidation Preference each quarter. Upon the repayment of the Company’s current Term Loan, the 15% annual dividend will be paid in cash. The Company may redeem the Preferred Stock for cash, upon 60 days’ prior notice, at a price equal to 105% of Liquidation Preference (including all accrued and unpaid dividends). Upon a liquidation event, including certain changes of control, the holders of the Preferred Stock will be entitled to a payment in cash equal to then liquidation value of the Preferred Stock.
	The Preferred Stock is not entitled to any voting rights, except that without the prior consent of the holders of a majority of the shares of Preferred Stock outstanding, the Company will not (i) authorize, create or issue, or increase the number of authorized or issued shares of, any class or series of preferred stock, (ii) authorize, create or issue, or increase the number of authorized or issued shares of, any other capital stock of any class or series, except for common stock, (iii) declare or pay dividends or make any distributions in respect of any class or series of stock or purchase or redeem any junior securities, (iv) amend, alter or repeal any provisions of the Company’s certificate of incorporation (including the Certificate of Designations) or bylaws, or the charter or bylaws of any subsidiary of the Company, (v) enter into any transaction that would result in a change of control, (vi) amalgamate, consolidate, convert or merge with any other person, or enter into or form any partnership or joint venture or acquire any securities in any other person or (vii) authorize or adopt any equity incentive plan, increase the number of options or securities available for grant or issuance under an equity incentive plan, grant any allocation of options or securities under any equity incentive plan, amend or supplement any equity incentive plan or authorize or issue any incentive compensation in the form of securities outside of an equity incentive plan.
	We applied the accounting guidance in FASB ASC 480-10, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and concluded that the Preferred Shares are equity instruments. We then considered the classification of the Preferred Shares and concluded that the Preferred Shares should be classified as mezzanine equity within our condensed consolidated balance sheet because the shares are conditionally redeemable under ASC 480-10-S99, SEC Materials.
	The Preferred Stock is initially recorded at its fair value of $21.2 million, which equals the Liquidation Value (as defined in the Security Purchase Agreement) as of July 30, 2014. and includes a $1.2 million paid-in-kind fee to the Monomoy Funds for investing in the Company’s Preferred Stock.
	The Term Loan Amendment was dependent on the infusion of capital provided by the Preferred Shares purchased by the Monomoy Funds. The non-cash fee of $1.2 million paid to Monomoy Funds facilitated the equity investment necessary for us to amend the Term Loan. Therefore, the $1.2 million is included in the cost of extinguishing the debt, and is reported in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, in our consolidate statement of operations per ASC 480-10-S99. See Note 10 - Debt for additional information.
	We will recognize the quarterly paid-in-kind dividend on the Liquidation Preference as an adjustment to the carrying amount of the Preferred Shares each reporting period. The change in the Liquidation Preference each reporting period shall be recorded as a reduction of net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders. As of September 30, 2014, the carrying amount of the Preferred Stock is $21.7 million within our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

	Earnings Per Share - Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share, and all other diluted per share amounts presented, are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and potential common shares outstanding during the period as determined by 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. Potential common shares are included in the diluted earnings per share calculation when dilutive. Diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, include the effects of potential common shares consisting of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants when dilutive (in thousands, except per share amounts):

	For the three months ended September 30, 2014, diluted earnings per share exclude 297,791 shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options, 5,838,334 shares underlying our common stock warrants that have an exercise price of $6.00 per half share, and 29,687 shares underlying our Sponsor and Lender Warrants as the effect would have been anti-dilutive. Earnout Shares of 1,250,000 and 284,091 shares held by sponsors of ROI have not been considered in the basic or diluted per share calculation since they have not vested as of September 30, 2014.
	As of September 30, 2014, there were 297,791 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding options, 5,838,334 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of 11,676,667 warrants to purchase common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per half share, which expire on May 21, 2018, and 7,396,674 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Lender Warrants and Sponsor Warrants at an exercise price of $0.01 per share.
	On July 30, 2014, the Company issued the Sponsor Warrants, which are exercisable for 4,438,004 shares of common stock at $0.01 per share, to the Monomoy Funds, and the Lender Warrants, which are exercisable for 2,958,670 shares of common stock at $0.01 per share, to the lenders to the Term Loan Amendment. The Sponsor and Lender Warrants have a seven year term expiring July 30, 2021, and meet the criteria for equity classification. We accounted for the Sponsor and Lender Warrants in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). Using the Black-Scholes pricing model the fair value of the warrants is $13.8 million. The Sponsor and Lender Warrants were issued to facilitate the Term Loan Amendment. Since the $13.8 million fee resulted from the amendment, they were recorded as a non-cash loss on extinguishment of debt in our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2014.
	The following table summarizes the Black-Scholes option-pricing model assumptions used to determine the fair value of the Sponsor and Lender Warrants for 2014:

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]	'
Share-Based Compensation	'
	Share-Based Compensation
	Share-based compensation is accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”) and FASB ASC Topic 505-50, Equity - Equity Based Payment to Non-Employees (“ASC 505-50”), which requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations over the requisite service periods. We use the straight-line method of expensing stock options to recognize compensation expense in its consolidated statements of operations for all share-based awards. Because share-based compensation expense is based on awards that are ultimately expected to vest, share-based compensation expense is reduced to account for estimated forfeitures. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. For stock options granted in 2014, 2013 and 2012, the compensation expense is based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718.
	The following table summarizes our share-based compensation expense (in thousands):
		Three Months Ended September 30,					Nine Months Ended September 30,
		2014			2013		2014				2013
	Share-based compensation expense	$	83		$	102	$	184			$	180
	Stock Option Grants - In 2012, Former EveryWare adopted the EveryWare Global, Inc. 2012 Stock Option Plan (the “2012 Plan”). The provisions of the 2012 Plan allow the awarding of nonqualified stock options on our common stock to key employees and directors. Shares of Former EveryWare’s nonvoting common stock authorized and issued under the 2012 Plan were converted to equivalent shares of our common stock as a result of the Business Combination. The aggregate number of options on our common stock that may be granted under the 2012 Plan may not exceed 1,354,993 shares. In 2012, options to acquire 583,635 shares of nonvoting common stock were issued to certain senior executives and members of the Board of Directors. Of these, 233,454 are subject to non-performance time vesting conditions (time vested) and 350,181 are subject to performance vesting conditions.
	Time vesting options vest ratably and become exercisable over a period of five years from the date of grant; however, time vesting options will accelerate and vest and become exercisable upon the consummation of certain change of control transactions. Performance vesting options vest on the achievement of certain net investment return thresholds of Former EveryWare stockholders and become exercisable only upon the achievement of these investment return thresholds and the consummation of certain change of control transactions. The Business Combination did not result in a change in control with regard to the time vested or performance options. Each of the options expires 10 years after its date of grant.
	In 2013, we adopted the EveryWare Global, Inc. 2013 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2013 Plan”). The provisions of the 2013 Plan allow the awarding of a variety of stock award types to our employees and directors of the Company. The aggregate number of options of our common stock that may be granted under the 2013 Plan may not exceed 870,000 shares. During 2013, there were grants of 352,674 of stock options. During 2014, there were grants of 70,000 of stock options. All option grants have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the underlying stock on the grant date. All of the options issued are subject to time vesting conditions and vest ratably and become exercisable over a period of two years to five years from the date of grant. Each of the options expires 10 years after its date of grant. Options granted under the 2013 Plan are not subject to accelerated vesting and do not become exercisable upon the consummation of any change of control transaction. There were no performance based options issued in 2013 or 2014 under the 2013 Plan.
	Our 2014 non-qualified options granted were valued for ASC 718 purposes using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The following table summarizes the non-qualified stock option disclosures for 2014:
		2014
	Stock options granted	70,000

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, compensation expense recorded related to the performance options was $0.0 million and $0.0 million, respectively.
	Restricted Stock Awards - Restricted stock is a grant of shares of common stock that may not be sold, encumbered or disposed of, and that may be forfeited in the event of certain terminations of employment prior to the end of a restricted period set by the compensation committee of the board of directors. A participant granted restricted stock generally has all of the rights of a stockholder, unless the compensation committee determines otherwise.
	In 2013, we awarded 28,911 shares of common stock to non-employee members of our Board of Directors under the 2013 Plan with a grant date fair value of $0.2 million. The total compensation expense relating to awards of restricted stock was $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. In 2014, we awarded 45,739 shares of common stock to non-employee members of our Board of Directors under the 2013 plan with a grant date fair value of $0.4 million. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, compensation expense relating to awards of restricted stock was $0.1 million and 0.3 million, respectively.
	Shares can no longer be issued under the 2012 Plan. As of September 30, 2014, a total of 527,764 shares were available from the 870,000 shares authorized for award under our 2013 Plan, including cumulative forfeitures.
	Repurchase of Common Stock - We did not repurchase any of our common stock during 2014.

	Segment Reporting
	We operate our business in four segments: consumer, foodservice, specialty and international. The international segment includes all countries in which we operate other than the U.S. and Canada.
	•	Consumer: Our consumer segment provides a broad array of tabletop, food preparation, and pantry products at a variety of price points to retail customers, primarily under the Anchor Hocking® and ONEIDA® brands and through licensing arrangements. Sales in our consumer segment are made to mass merchants, discount retailers, specialty stores, department stores, and grocery stores, as well as to consumers through our e-commerce site. We believe our consumer customers select us based on our breadth of category assortment, innovative products, brand recognition strength, consistent quality, and reliable service.
	•	Foodservice: Our foodservice segment provides flatware, dinnerware, beverageware, barware, hollowware, and banquetware to the foodservice industry. Sales in our foodservice segment are made to equipment and supply dealers, broadline distributors, hotels, casinos, and chain restaurants, as well as airlines and cruiselines. We believe our foodservice customers rely on our broad product portfolio, superior design and innovation, reliable service, and brand recognition strength.
	•	Specialty: Our specialty segment offers glassware products to candle and floral wholesalers, direct sellers, industrial lighting manufacturers and distillers, and distributors of premium spirits. We offer a variety of accessories for taper, pillar, votive and tealite candles, and floral vases in a broad range of styles, patterns, and colors. We also sell customized spirit bottles to domestic and international premium spirit distillers. We believe our specialty customers select us because of our reliability, operating flexibility and unique manufacturing capabilities, design and innovation, and strong customer service.
	•	International: Our international segment serves customers in over 65 countries outside the U.S. and Canada, including customers in the European Union, Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. Our international segment includes all product categories in the consumer and foodservice markets in the countries in which we operate. We sell glassware, bakeware and our sourced flatware, dinnerware, barware, hollowware, and banquetware internationally. We primarily market our products internationally under the Anchor Hocking®, Sant’ Andrea®, W.A. Rogers®, and ONEIDA® brands.
	We evaluate the performance of our segments based on revenue, and measure segment performance based upon segment (loss) income before taxes before unallocated manufacturing costs, unallocated selling, distribution, and administrative costs, other expense (income) and interest expense (“segment contribution”). Segment contributions for the prior year have been adjusted to reflect our updated standard costs for comparability purposes. Given the nature of our operations, we do not categorize and manage assets by reportable segment but rather on a company-wide level.
