ITEM 1.           FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements presented herein are unaudited
but, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary to present
fairly such information for the periods and at the dates indicated. Since the
following condensed unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with Article 10 of Regulation S-X, they do not contain all
information and footnotes normally contained in annual consolidated financial
statements; accordingly, they should be read in conjunction with the
Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto appearing in the
Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996.
The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results for
the entire year.

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 0.15% and 0.275%,
respectively, at June 30, 1997. 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
June 30, 1997 the Company had $5.1 million in letters of credit outstanding
under the Facility.

The Company has entered into interest rate protection agreements ("Rate
Agreements") with respect to $150 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
June 30, 1997 was 5.69% for an average remaining period of 1.5 years. The
remaining debt not covered by the Rate Agreements has fluctuating interest rates
with a weighted average rate of 5.8% at June 30, 1997.

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. Should 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 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.

2. ACQUISITION OPPORTUNITY

On March 10, 1997 the Company announced that it had signed a letter of intent to
enter into a joint venture with Vitro S.A., with respect to its glass tableware
operations in Mexico, and also purchase the business known as WorldCrisa,
presently owned by Vitro S.A. The announced cash purchase price is approximately
$100 million. The completion of the transaction is subject to the performance of
final due diligence, negotiation of definitive agreements and approval of the
boards of directors of the respective companies. The Company anticipates
completing the transaction in the third quarter of 1997.

3.   CASH FLOW INFORMATION

Interest paid in cash aggregated $6,392 and $7,535 for the first six months of
1997 and 1996, respectively. Income taxes paid in cash aggregated $5,484 and
$5,169 for the first six months of 1997 and 1996, respectively.

4.   NET INCOME PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK

Net income per share of common stock is computed using the weighted average
number of shares of common stock outstanding, including common stock
equivalents. Weighted average shares were 15,586,603 and 15,537,399 for the
three and six month periods ending June 30, 1997, respectively; and 15,382,778
and 15,344,544 for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 1996

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 "Earnings per Share" (FAS 128) which is
required to be adopted on December 31, 1997. At that time, the Company will be
required to change the method currently used to compute EPS and restate all
prior periods. The impact of adopting FAS 128 is not expected to be material.

Net income                    $ 10,132       $  8,702


Net sales for the second quarter of 1997 of $104.0 million increased 0.1% from
net sales of $103.8 million reported in the comparable period in 1996. A primary
factor for the increase was an increase in net sales to the Company's domestic
retail customers which helped offset lower sales to the Company's industrial and
foodservice customers in the U.S., reflecting the Company's decision to
eliminate certain sales which typically had experienced low or negative
operating profit margins. Export sales were up 9.3%, increasing to $8.5 million
from $7.8 million in the year-ago period.

Gross profit increased 7.0% to $32.1 million in the second quarter of 1997 from
$30.0 million in the second quarter of 1996, and increased as a percentage of
sales to 30.8% from 28.9%. Profit margins improved as a result of improved sales
mix and lower expenses at the Company's domestic glass manufacturing facilities.

Income from operations increased 10.4% to $20.0 million from $18.2 million in
the year-ago period. Operating income as a percentage of sales increased to
19.3% from 17.5% in the comparable year-ago period, as a result of the higher
gross profit percentage.

Net income increased by $1.4 million due to items discussed above, plus a
reduction in the Company's effective tax rate from 39.5% to 38.9%, principally
due to lower state income taxes, and decreased interest expense resulting from
lower debt levels.

As a percentage of sales          29.5%          26.6%

Income from operations        $ 30,927       $ 28,071
As a percentage of sales          17.0%          14.9%

Net income                    $ 14,778       $ 12,643


Net sales for the first six months of 1997 of $182.4 million decreased 2.9% from
net sales of $187.8 million reported in the comparable period in 1996. The
decrease is due primarily to lower net sales to the Company's industrial and
retail markets in the U.S. as the Company chose to eliminate certain sales which
typically had experienced low or negative operating profit margins. Export sales
were down 4.8%, decreasing to $13.6 million from $14.3 million in the year-ago
period primarily due to a large premium order in the first quarter of 1996 which
did not repeat in 1997.

Gross profit increased 7.7% to $53.8 million in the first six months of 1997
from $49.9 million in the first six months of 1996, and increased as a
percentage of sales to 29.5% from 26.6%. Profit margins improved as a result of
an improved mix of sales to more profitable products related to the termination
of certain sales with low profit margins. In addition, lower expenses and higher
efficiency performance in the Company's glassware facilities contributed to
higher gross profit.

Income from operations increased 10.2% to $30.9 million from $28.1 million in
the year-ago period. Operating income as a percentage of sales increased to
17.0% from 14.9% in the comparable year-ago period. A higher gross profit
percentage more than offset higher selling, general and administrative expense,
principally associated with higher marketing and sales management activities.

Net income increased by $2.1 million due to items discussed above, plus a
reduction in the Company's effective tax rate from 39.5% to 39.0%, principally
due to lower state income taxes, and decreased interest expense resulting from
lower debt levels.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
- -------------------------------

The Company had total debt of $221.3 million at June 30, 1997, compared to
$207.4 million at December 31, 1997. The increase in debt from December 31, 1996
is due to increased working capital requirements historically experienced during
this period. Inventories at June 30, 1997 were $18.1 million higher than at
December 31, 1996 principally due to the seasonal nature of the Company's
business. The Company had additional capacity at June 30, 1997 under the Bank
Credit Agreement of $173.7 million. Of Libbey's outstanding indebtedness, $71.2
million is subject to fluctuating interest rates at June 30, 1997. A change of
one percentage point in such rates would result in a change in interest expense
of approximately $.7 million on an annual basis.

On March 10, 1997 the Company announced that it had signed a letter of intent to
enter into a joint venture with Vitro S.A., with respect to its glass tableware
operations in Mexico and also purchase the business known as WorldCrisa,
presently owned by Vitro S.A., subject to the performance of final due
diligence, negotiation of definitive agreements and approval of the boards of
directors of the respective companies.

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 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 2002 to meet the
Company's longer term funding requirements.
