NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Dollars in thousands, except per share data
(unaudited)
1. LONG-TERM DEBT
The Company and its Canadian subsidiary have an unsecured agreement ("Bank
Credit Agreement" or "Agreement") with a group of banks which provides for a
Revolving Credit and Swing Line Facility ("Facility") permitting borrowings up
to an aggregate total of $380 million, maturing May 1, 2002. Swing Line
borrowings are limited to $25 million with interest calculated at the prime rate
minus the Commitment Fee Percentage. Revolving Credit borrowings bear interest
at the Company's option at either the prime rate minus the Commitment Fee
Percentage, or a Eurodollar rate plus the Applicable Eurodollar Margin. The
Commitment Fee Percentage and Applicable Eurodollar Margin will vary depending
on the Company's performance against certain financial ratios. The Commitment
Fee Percentage and the Applicable Eurodollar Margin were 0.125% and 0.225%,
respectively, at March 31, 2000. The Company may also elect to borrow under a
Negotiated Rate Loan alternative of the Revolving Credit and Swing Line Facility
at floating rates of interest, up to a maximum of $190 million. The Revolving
Credit and Swing Line Facility also provides for the issuance of $35 million of
letters of credit, with such usage applied against the $380 million limit. At
March 31, 2000 the Company had $5.2 million in letters of credit outstanding
under the Facility.
The Company has entered into interest rate protection agreements ("Rate
Agreements") with respect to $75 million of debt under its Bank Credit Agreement
as a means to manage its exposure to fluctuating interest rates. The Rate
Agreements effectively convert this portion of the Company's Bank Credit
Agreement borrowings from variable rate debt to a fixed rate basis, thus
reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future income. The average
interest rate for the Company's borrowings related to the Rate Agreements at
March 31, 2000 was 6.60% for an average remaining period of 2.1 years. The
remaining debt not covered by the Rate Agreements has fluctuating interest rates
with a weighted average rate of 6.36% at March 31, 2000.
The interest rate differential to be received or paid under the Rate Agreements
is being recognized over the life of the Rate Agreements as an adjustment to
interest expense. If the counterparts to these Rate Agreements fail to perform,
the Company would no longer be protected from interest rate fluctuations by
these Rate Agreements. However, the Company does not anticipate nonperformance
by the counterparts.
The Company must pay a commitment fee ("Commitment Fee Percentage") on the total
credit provided under the Bank Credit Agreement. No
7
8
compensating balances are required by the Agreement. The Agreement requires the
maintenance of certain financial ratios, restricts the incurrence of
indebtedness and other contingent financial obligations, and restricts certain
types of business activities and investments.
The Company guarantees $30.0 million of Vitrocrisa Holdings' debt as of
March 31, 2000.
2. SIGNIFICANT SUBSIDIARY
Summarized combined financial information for equity investments, which includes
the 49% ownership in Vitrocrisa, which manufactures, markets and sells glass
tableware (e.g. beverageware, plates, bowls, serveware and accessories) and
industrial glassware (e.g. coffee pots, blender jars, meter covers, glass covers
for cooking ware and lighting fixtures sold to original equipment manufacturers)
and the 49% ownership in Crisa Industrial, L.L.C., which distributes industrial
glassware in the U.S. and Canada for Vitrocrisa, for 2000 and 1999 is as
follows:

5. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
The Company's components of comprehensive income are net income and foreign
currency translation adjustments. During the first quarter of 2000 and 1999,
total comprehensive income amounted to $6,368 and $4,091 respectively.
6. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (Statement 133)
which establishes new procedures for accounting for derivatives and hedging
activities and supersedes and amends a number of existing standards. Statement
133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000, and the Company
has not determined its impact.
7. CAPACITY REALIGNMENT CHARGE
On December 31, 1998 the Company with the approval of the Board of Directors
adopted a formal, written and specific plan to realign the production capacity
of the Company. The primary thrust of the plan was the closing of the
Wallaceburg, Ontario, manufacturing and distribution facility, the realignment
of its production and distribution activities to other facilities and the
Company's Mexican
10
11
joint venture partner and the exiting of the glass bottle business serviced out
of Wallaceburg. The Company recorded a capacity realignment charge of
approximately $20.0 million in the fourth quarter of 1998, which included $10.0
million for severance and related employee costs, $7.6 million for write-off of
fixed assets (primarily equipment) and $2.4 million for supply inventories,
repair parts and other costs. An additional charge was recorded in the first
quarter 1999 of $2.2 million, which included $1.5 million for enhanced severance
and related employee costs, $0.3 million for write-off of fixed assets
(primarily equipment) and $0.4 million for write-off of inventories and other
costs.
The Wallaceburg facility ceased production in May 1999, and the limited
remaining warehouse operations will terminate in 2000. The fixed assets, supply
inventories and repair parts not being transferred have been written down to a
nominal amount. The Wallaceburg property is presently held for sale; however, if
a buyer is not located, it will be abandoned. The Company terminated the
employment of virtually all of its 560 salary and hourly employees and included
severance and related employee costs in its capacity realignment charge at the
time when such severance benefits were disclosed to the employees. These
severance and related employee costs were paid primarily when production ceased.
During the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company assessed the capacity realignment
reserve by activity and reduced it by approximately $1.2 million, primarily for
a reduction in severance and related costs. This resulted in a net provision for
1999 of approximately $1.0 million. The majority of the capacity realignment
reserve balance at December 31, 1999, was for the demolition of glass furnaces
and the related costs to ready the plant facility for sale or abandonment and
the remaining disposition of certain fixed assets and inventories.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - FIRST QUARTER 2000 COMPARED WITH FIRST QUARTER 1999
Three months ended
March 31,
-------------------
(dollars in thousands)
2000 1999
------- -------
Net sales $96,761 $95,280
Gross profit $27,614 $23,936
As a percentage of sales 28.5% 25.1%
Income from operations excluding capacity
realignment charge $12,878 $11,233
As a percentage of sales 13.3% 11.8%
Income from operations $12,878 $ 9,006
As a percentage of sales 13.3% 9.5%
Earnings before interest and income taxes $13,156 $ 9,474
As a percentage of sales 13.6% 9.9%
Net income $ 6,402 $ 3,983
As a percentage of sales 6.6% 4.2%
Net sales for the first quarter of 2000 of $96.8 million increased 1.6% from net
sales of $95.3 million reported in the comparable period in 1999. Growth in
dinnerware, flatware and glassware sales to foodservice customers and glassware
sales to industrial customers were the major contributors, offset by lower
retail sales. The Company's decision to exit low margin bottleware and certain
low margin retail business, which totaled approximately $5 million in the first
quarter last year, limited sales growth but resulted in improved profit margins.
Export sales, which include sales to Libbey's customers in Canada, decreased
11.8% to $11.7 million from $13.3 million in the year-ago period. The decrease
was the result of the decision to exit the production of bottleware in Canada,
which reduced sales by $1.4 million.
Gross profit increased 15.4% to $27.6 million in the first quarter of 2000
compared to $23.9 million in the first quarter of 1999, and increased as a
percentage of sales to 28.5% from 25.1%.
Income from operations increased 43.0% to $12.9 million from $9.0 million in the
year-ago period. The reasons for the increase were improved sales mix, the
continued benefits of lower operating costs associated with capacity realignment
efforts and a charge in last
13
14
year's first quarter of $2.2 million related to the Company's realignment of its
glass tableware production. Partially offsetting these gains were increases in
sales commissions resulting from higher foodservice sales, higher research and
development expenses and an increase in the provision for bad debts. Excluding
the capacity realignment charge taken in 1999, income from operations increased
14.6%.
Earnings before interest and income taxes (EBIT) increased 38.9% to $13.2
million from $9.5 million in the first quarter last year. Excluding the capacity
realignment charge, EBIT was up 12.4%. Equity earnings increased 20.0% to $0.6
from $0.5 million.
Net income increased 60.7% to $6.4 million or 41 cents per diluted share from
$4.0 million or 24 cents per diluted share in the year-ago period due to items
discussed above as well as a decrease in the Company's effective tax rate from
37.5% in 1999 to 36.75% in 2000. The reduction in the Company's effective tax
rate is primarily attributable to lower state income taxes. In addition, diluted
shares outstanding declined to 15.5 million from 16.7 million in the year-ago
period primarily due to the Company's share repurchase programs. As of March 31,
2000, the Company has repurchased 2.6 million shares.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
The Company had total debt of $193.2 million at March 31, 2000, compared to
$206.6 million at December 31, 1999. Inventories increased $2.3 million compared
to the year-ago period. Seasonal increases in receivables and inventory through
March 31, 2000 along with reduced liabilities were responsible for the increased
debt during the quarter of $14.5 million. During the quarter, the Company
purchased 77,800 shares pursuant to its share repurchase plan for $2.1 million.
Since mid 1998, the Company has repurchased 2,575,800 shares for $72.1 million.
Board authorization remains for the purchase of an additional 1,049,200 shares.
In addition, Libbey did not receive a dividend from its investment in Crisa
Industrial in the first quarter 2000 compared to a dividend from Crisa
Industrial of $0.5 million in first quarter 1999. The Company had additional
debt capacity at March 31, 2000 under the Bank Credit Agreement of $184.8
million. Of Libbey's outstanding indebtedness, $118.2 million is subject to
fluctuating interest rates at March 31, 2000. A change of one percentage point
in such rates would result in a change in interest expense of approximately $1.2
million on an annual basis as of March 31, 2000.
The Company is not aware of any trends, demands, commitments, or uncertainties
which will result or which are reasonably likely to result in a material change
in Libbey's liquidity. The Company believes that its cash from operations and
available borrowings under
14
15
the Bank Credit Agreement will be sufficient to fund its operating requirements,
capital expenditures and all other obligations (including debt service and
dividends) throughout the remaining term of the Bank Credit Agreement.
In addition, the Company anticipates refinancing the Bank Credit Agreement at or
prior to the maturity date of May 1, 2002 to meet the Company's longer term
funding requirements.
ITEM 3. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company is exposed to market risks due to changes in currency values,
although the majority of the Company's 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 that could reduce the cost
competitiveness of the Company's products compared to foreign competition and
the effect of exchange rate changes to the value of the Mexican peso relative to
the U.S. dollar and the impact of those changes on the earnings and cash flow of
the Company's joint venture in Mexico, Vitrocrisa, expressed under U.S. GAAP.
The Company is exposed to market risks associated with changes in interest rates
in the U.S. However, the Company has entered into Interest Rate Protection
Agreements (Rate Agreements) with respect to $75.0 million of debt as a means to
manage its exposure to fluctuating interest rates. The Rate Agreements
effectively convert this portion of the Company's borrowings from variable rate
debt to a fixed-rate basis, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on
future income. The average interest rate for the Company's borrowings related to
the Rate Agreements at March 31, 2000, was 6.60% for an average remaining period
of 2.1 years. Total remaining debt not covered by the Rate Agreements has
fluctuating interest rates with a weighted average rate of 6.36% at March 31,
2000. The Company had $118.2 million of debt subject to fluctuating interest
rates at March 31, 2000. A change of one percentage point in such rates would
result in a change in interest expense of approximately $1.2 million on an
annual basis.
The interest rate differential to be received or paid under the Rate Agreements
is being recognized over the life of the Rate Agreements as an adjustment to
interest expense. If the counterparts to these Rate Agreements fail to perform,
the Company would no longer be protected from interest rate fluctuations by
these Rate Agreements. However, the Company does not anticipate nonperformance
by the counterparts. At December 31, 1999, the carrying value of the long-term
debt approximates its fair value based on the Company's current incremental
borrowing rates. The fair market value for the Company's Interest Rate
Protection Agreements at December 31, 1999, was $0.9 million.
15
16
The fair value of long-term debt is estimated based on borrowing rates currently
available to the Company for loans with similar terms and maturities. The fair
value of the Company's Rate Agreements is based on quotes from brokers for
comparable contracts. The Company does not expect to cancel these agreements and
expects them to expire as originally contracted.
OTHER INFORMATION
This document and supporting schedules contain forward-looking statements as
defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements
only reflect the Company's best assessment at this time, and are indicated by
words or phrases such as goal, expects, believes, will, estimates, anticipates
or similar phrases.
Investors are cautioned that forward-looking statements involve risks and
uncertainty, that actual results may differ materially from such statements, and
