============ ============



The Company was in compliance with the covenants of all debt agreements as of
June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003.

REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY

On June 24, 2004, the Company entered into an unsecured agreement for a
Revolving Credit Agreement (Revolving Credit Agreement or Agreement) with Libbey
Glass Inc. and Libbey Europe B.V., as borrowers. This replaced the previous
Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement naming Libbey Glass Inc. and
Libbey Europe B.V. as borrowers that was scheduled to expire on April 23, 2005.
The Agreement is with a group of banks that provides for a Revolving Credit and
Swing Line Facility (Facility) permitting borrowings up to an aggregate total of
$250 million, maturing June 24, 2009. Swing Line borrowings are limited to $25
million. Swing Line US dollar borrowings bear interest calculated at the prime
rate plus the Applicable Rate for Base Rate Loans as defined in the Agreement.
Revolving Credit Agreement U.S. dollar borrowings bear interest at the Company's
option at either the prime rate plus the Applicable Rate for Base Rate Loans or
a Eurodollar rate plus the Applicable Rate for Eurodollar Loans as defined in
the Agreement. The Applicable Rates for Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Loans
vary depending on the Company's performance against certain financial ratios.
The Applicable Rates for Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Loans were 0.20% and
1.20%, respectively, at June 30, 2004. The weighted average interest rate on
these borrowings at June 30, 2004 was 3.1%.

Libbey Europe B.V. may have euro-denominated swing line or revolving borrowings
under the Revolving Credit Agreement in an aggregate amount not to exceed the
Offshore Currency Equivalent as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement of
$100 million. Offshore Currency Swing Line borrowings are currently limited to
$15 million of the $25 million total Swing Line borrowings. Interest is
calculated at the Offshore Currency Swing Line rate plus the Applicable Rate for
Swing Line Loans in euros as defined in the Agreement. Revolving Offshore
Currency Borrowings bear interest at the Offshore Currency Rate plus the
Applicable Rate for Offshore Currency Rate Loans, as defined in the Agreement.
The Applicable Rates for Swing Line Loans in euros and Offshore Currency Rate
Loans vary depending on the Company's performance

9


against certain financial ratios. The Applicable Rates for Swing Line Loans in
euros and Offshore Currency Rate Loans were 1.70% and 1.20%, respectively, at
June 30, 2004.

The Company may also elect to borrow under a Negotiated Rate Loan alternative of
the Facility at negotiated rates of interest, up to a maximum of $125 million.
The Facility also provides for the issuance of $30 million of letters of credit,
with such usage applied against the $250 million limit. At June 30, 2004, the
Company had $5.3 million in letters of credit outstanding under the Facility.

The Company pays a Facility Fee as defined by the agreement on the total credit
provided under the Facility. The Facility Fee varies depending on the Company's
performance against certain financial ratios. The Facility Fee was 0.30% at June
30, 2004.

No compensating balances are required by the Agreement. The Agreement does
require 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.

SENIOR NOTES

On March 31, 2003, the Company issued $100 million of privately placed senior
notes. Eighty million dollars of the notes have an average interest rate of
4.65% with an initial average maturity of 8.4 years and a remaining average
maturity of 7.2 years. Twenty million dollars of the senior notes have a
floating interest rate at a margin over the London Interbank Offer Rate (LIBOR)
that is set quarterly. The floating interest rate at June 30, 2004, on the $20
million debt was 2.16%.

INTEREST RATE PROTECTION AGREEMENTS

The Company has Interest Rate Protection Agreements (Rate Agreements) with
respect to $75 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 fixed
interest rate for the Company's borrowings related to the Rate Agreements at
June 30, 2004, is 6.10% and the total interest rate, including applicable fees,
is 7.60%. The average maturity of these Rate Agreements is 1.1 years at June 30,
2004. Total remaining debt not covered by the Rate Agreements has fluctuating
interest rates with a weighted average rate of 3.64% at June 30, 2004. 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.

2. INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES

The Company is a 49% equity owner in Vitrocrisa Holding, S. de R.L. de C.V. and
related Mexican companies (Vitrocrisa), which manufacture, market, and sell
glass tableware (beverageware, plates, bowls, serveware, and accessories) and
industrial glassware (coffee pots, blender jars, meter covers, glass covers for
cooking ware, and lighting fixtures sold to original equipment manufacturers)
and a 49% equity owner in Crisa Industrial, L.L.C., a distributor of industrial
glassware for Vitrocrisa in the U.S. and Canada.

6. DERIVATIVES

As of June 30, 2004, the Company had Interest Rate Protection Agreements for
$75.0 million of its variable rate debt and commodity contracts for 1,300,000
million British Thermal Units (MMBTUs) of natural gas accounted for under hedge
accounting. The fair value of these derivatives is included in accrued
liabilities and other assets on the balance sheet for the Rate Agreements and
commodity contracts, respectively. At June 30, 2003, the Company had Rate
Agreements for $100.0 million of its variable rate debt and commodity contracts
for 2,000,000 MMBTUs of natural gas.

The Company does not believe it is exposed to more than a nominal amount of
credit risk in its interest rate and natural gas hedges as the counterparts are
established financial institutions.

All of the Company's derivatives qualify and are designated as cash flow hedges
at June 30, 2004. Hedge accounting is only applied when the derivative is deemed
to be highly effective at offsetting changes in anticipated cash flows of the
hedged item or transaction. The ineffective

13


portion of the change in the fair value of a derivative designated as a cash
flow hedge is recognized in current earnings. Ineffectiveness recognized in
earnings during the second quarter of 2004 and 2003 was not material.

7. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." The
Interpretation addresses the requirements for business enterprises to
consolidate related entities in which they are determined to be the primary
beneficiary as a result of their variable economic interests. The Interpretation
is intended to provide guidance in judging multiple economic interests in an
entity and in determining the primary beneficiary. The Interpretation outlines
disclosure requirements for variable interest entities in existence prior to
January 31, 2003, and requires consolidation of variable interest entities
created after January 31, 2003. In addition, the Interpretation requires
consolidation of variable interest entities created prior to January 31, 2003,
for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2003. The Interpretation was
effective for all variable interest entities during the Company's second quarter
of 2004. This Interpretation had no impact on the Company's financial
statements.

In December 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 132 (revised 2003), "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other
Postretirement Benefits" (SFAS No. 132-revised), which requires additional
disclosures about the assets, obligations, cash flows and net periodic benefit
costs of defined benefit pension plans and defined benefit other post retirement
plans. The Company adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 132-revised
as shown in Note 9.

In January 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 106-1,
"Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription
Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003" (the Act), which permits a
sponsor of a postretirement health care plan that provides a prescription drug
benefit to make a one-time election to defer accounting for the effects of the
Act. The Company has elected to defer accounting for the effects of the Act
pending further consideration of the underlying accounting issues.

8. STOCK OPTIONS

The Company has two stock-based employee compensation plans. The Company
accounts for the plans under the recognition and measurement principles of
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees" (APB 25), and related Interpretations. No stock-based employee
compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under those
plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common
stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net
income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value
recognition provision of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation"
(SFAS No. 123), to stock-based employee compensation.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of
operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated
financial statements and the related notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this
report and in our Annual Report filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements
that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ
from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many
factors. These factors are discussed in Other Information in the section
"Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk."

The Company believes that Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), a non-GAAP
financial measure, is a useful metric for evaluating its financial performance
because of its focus on the Company's results from earnings before interest and
taxes.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - SECOND QUARTER 2004 COMPARED WITH SECOND QUARTER 2003



(dollars in thousands)
----------------------
Three months ended June 30, 2004 2003
- --------------------------- -------- ---------

Net Sales $135,752 $128,254

Gross profit 32,922 29,698
As a percent of sales 24.3% 23.2%

Income from operations $ 16,148 $ 12,824
As a percent of sales 11.9% 10.0%

Earnings before interest and income taxes $ 17,480 $ 15,031
As a percent of sales 12.9% 11.7%

Net income $ 9,365 $ 7,910
As a percent of sales 6.9% 6.2%


For the quarter-ended June 30, 2004, sales increased 5.8 percent to $135.8
million from $128.3 million in the year-ago quarter. The increase in sales was
attributable to growth in sales to customers in the foodservice and retail
channels of distribution. Shipments to foodservice customers of Libbey
glassware, Syracuse China dinnerware, World Tableware products, and Traex
products were all higher than the year-ago period. Sales to retail customers
increased over 8 percent, as compared to the year-ago quarter. Sales to
customers located outside of the United States increased 1.4 percent to $28.2
million from $27.8 million in the year-ago period.

Gross profit (defined as net sales plus freight billed to customers less cost of
sales) was $32.9 million and as a percent of sales was 24.3 percent in the
second quarter of 2004 compared to $29.7 million and 23.2 percent in the second
quarter of 2003. Factors contributing to the increase in gross profit were
higher sales to customers, improved capacity utilization and efficiencies in the
manufacturing operations.

19


Income from operations was $16.1 million compared to $12.8 million in the second
quarter last year and as a percent of sales was 11.9 percent in the second
quarter of 2004 compared to 10.0 percent in the year-ago quarter. Contributing
to the increase in income from operations was the increase in gross profit.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were flat compared to the prior
year period however as a percent to sales decreased from 13.7 percent in the
second quarter of 2003 to 12.9 percent in the current year quarter.

Earnings before interest and income taxes (EBIT) were $17.5 million compared to
$15.0 million in the year-ago quarter. Pretax equity earnings from Vitrocrisa
(the Company's 49% equity ownership in Crisa Industrial, L.L.C., Vitrocrisa
Holding, S. de R.L. de C.V. and related Mexican companies), were $1.5 million as
compared to $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2003. The decrease was the
result of flat sales and higher natural gas costs.

Net income was $9.4 million, or 68 cents per diluted share, compared with net
income of $7.9 million, or 59 cents per diluted share, in the year-ago period.
Interest expense decreased $0.1 million compared with the year-ago period. The
effective tax rate increased to 32.9 percent for the quarter from 30.7 percent
in the year-ago quarter as the result of lower federal and state income tax
credits.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - SIX MONTHS 2004 COMPARED WITH SIX MONTHS 2003



(dollars in thousands)
Six months ended June 30, 2004 2003
- ------------------------- -------- --------

Net Sales $258,875 $240,157

Gross profit 55,238 51,256
As a percent of sales 21.3% 21.3%

Income from operations $ 22,163 $ 18,366
As a percent of sales 8.6% 7.6%

Earnings before interest and income taxes $ 21,913 $ 20,549
As a percent of sales 8.5% 8.6%

Net income $ 9,930 $ 9,911
As a percent of sales 3.8% 4.1%


For the six months ended June 30, 2004, sales increased 7.8 percent to $258.9
million from $240.2 million in the year-ago period. The increase in sales was
attributable to increased sales to foodservice, retail, industrial and export
customers. Sales to foodservice customers of Libbey glass products, Syracuse
China dinnerware products, Traex plastic products and World Tableware products
were all higher by at least 8 percent when compared with the first six months of
2003. Sales to customers located outside of the United States, increased 7.9
percent to $55.5 million from $51.4 million in the year-ago period.

Gross profit (defined as net sales plus freight billed to customers less cost of
sales) was $55.2 million and as a percent of sales was 21.3 percent in the first
six months of 2004 compared to $51.3 million and 21.3 percent in the first half
of 2003. In addition to the higher sales, other factors that contributed to the
higher gross profit included improved capacity utilization and improved
manufacturing efficiencies partially offset by additional costs (mostly
non-cash) for pension and nonpension postretirement benefits.

20


Income from operations was $22.2 million compared to $18.4 million in the first
six months of last year and as a percent of sales was 8.6 percent in the first
six months of 2004 compared to 7.6 percent in the year-ago period. Contributing
to the increase in income from operations was the increase in gross profit.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were flat compared to the prior
year period and as a percent to sales decreased from 14.3 percent in the first
six months of 2003 to 13.3 percent in the current year period.

Earnings before interest and income taxes (EBIT) were $21.9 million compared to
$20.5 million in the year-ago period. Pretax equity earnings from Vitrocrisa
(the Company's 49% equity ownership in Crisa Industrial, L.L.C., Vitrocrisa
Holding, S. de R.L. de C.V. and related Mexican companies), was $0.1 million as
compared to $1.8 million in the first six months of 2003 as the result of higher
natural gas costs and increased repair expenses.

Net income was $9.9 million, or 73 cents per diluted share, compared with net
income of $9.9 million, or 71 cents per diluted share, in the year-ago period.
Interest expense increased $0.9 million as the result of higher average debt
during the first half of 2004 compared to the prior year period. The effective
tax rate increased to 33.0 percent during the first six months of 2004 from 31.2
percent in 2003 as the result of lower federal and state income tax credits.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Net cash provided by operating activities was $11.1 million during the first six
months of 2004, compared to cash provided of $6.7 million during the year ago
period. The increase of operating cash was primarily the result of the change in
working capital. Inventories increased $8.6 million during the first half of
2004 to $134.3 million, as compared to the first six months of 2003, when total
inventories increased by $13.9 million.

The Company had total debt, including notes payable, of $237.9 million at June
30, 2004, compared to $230.9 million at December 31, 2003. This increase in debt
is attributable to seasonal increased working capital requirements and increased
expenditures for property, plant and equipment during the first two quarters of
2004. In June 2004, Libbey entered into an unsecured agreement for a Revolving
Credit Agreement (Revolving Credit Agreement or Agreement) as detailed in Note 1
to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Revolving Credit Agreement
replaced an unsecured agreement for an Amended and Restated Revolving Credit
Agreement entered into on February 10, 2003 by the Company, that was to mature
on April 23, 2005. The new Agreement is for a five-year term, maturing June 24,
2009. The Company had additional debt capacity at June 30, 2004, under the
Revolving Credit Agreement of $123.3 million. Of Libbey's total outstanding
indebtedness, $80.6 million was subject to fluctuating interest rates at June
30, 2004. A change of one percent in such rates would have resulted in a change
in interest expense of approximately $0.8 million on an annual basis as of June
30, 2004.

On March 31, 2003, Libbey issued $100 million of privately placed senior notes.
Eighty million dollars of the notes have an average interest rate of 4.65% with
an initial average maturity of 8.4 years and a remaining average maturity of 7.2
years. The additional $20 million has a floating interest rate at a margin over
the London Interbank Offer Rate (LIBOR). The floating interest rate at June 30,
2004, on the $20 million debt was 2.16%.

Libbey has entered into Interest Rate Protection Agreements with respect to $75
million of its debt. The average fixed rate of interest under these Interest
Rate Protection Agreements is

21


6.1%, and the total interest rate, including applicable fees, is 7.6%. The
average maturity of these Interest Rate Protection Agreements is 1.1 years at
June 30, 2004. The Company is not aware of any trends, demands, commitments, or
uncertainties that will result or that 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 Revolving Credit Agreement, private placement senior notes and other
short-term lines of credit 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 Revolving Credit
Agreement.

Since mid-1998, the Company has repurchased 5,125,000 shares for $140.7 million.
Board authorization remains at June 30, 2004 for the purchase of an additional
1,000,000 shares. Starting in 2003, a portion of the repurchased common stock is
being used by the Company to fund the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) and
the Company match contributions for its employee 401(k) plans.

During the first two quarters of 2004, the Company had capital expenditures of
$17.0 million compared to $11.1 million in the year-ago period. These
expenditures primarily relate to furnace and machine rebuild activity and
investments in higher productivity and laborsaving machinery and equipment. The
Company expects to spend $35 to $40 million for capital expenditures during
2004.

The Company's long term operating leases are reported in the Company's 2003
Annual Report on Form 10-K. The long term operating leases have not materially
changed since the 2003 Form 10-K. The Company's obligations for debt are listed
below and in Note 1 of this report.

Debt $237.9 $14.3 $0.2 $146.6 $76.8


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, euro or Mexican peso that
could reduce the cost competitiveness of the Company's products or that of
Vitrocrisa compared to foreign competition; the effect of high inflation in
Mexico; and exchange rate changes to the value of the Mexican peso and impact of
those changes on the earnings and cash flow of Vitrocrisa, expressed under
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

The Company is exposed to market risk associated with changes in interest rates
in the U.S. and 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 fixed rate of interest for the Company's borrowings related to the Rate
Agreements at June 30, 2004 is 6.1% and the total interest rate, including
applicable fees, is 7.6%. The average maturity of these Rate Agreements is 1.1
years at June 30, 2004. Total remaining debt not

22


covered by the Rate Agreements has fluctuating interest rates with a weighted
average rate of 3.6% at June 30, 2004. The Company had $80.6 million of debt
subject to fluctuating interest rates at June 30, 2004. A change of one percent
in such rates would result in a change in interest expense of approximately $0.8
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 were to 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 fair value of the Company's Rate Agreements is determined using the market
standard methodology of netting the discounted expected future variable cash
receipts and the discounted future fixed cash payments. The variable cash
receipts are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from
observed market interest rate forward curves. The Company does not expect to
cancel these agreements and expects them to expire as originally contracted.

In addition to the Rate Agreements, the Company has also entered into commodity
contracts to hedge the price of anticipated required purchases of natural gas.
The Company has designated these derivative instruments as cash flow hedges. As
such, the changes in fair value of these derivative instruments are recorded in
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings as
the underlying hedged transaction or items affects earnings. At June 30, 2004,
approximately $1.4 million of unrealized net losses were recorded in accumulated
other comprehensive loss.

OTHER INFORMATION

This document and supporting schedules contains statements that are not
historical facts and constitute projections, forecasts or forward-looking
statements. Such statements only reflect the Company's best assessment at this
time, and may be identified by the use of forward-looking words or phrases such
as "anticipate," "believe," "expect," "intend," "may," "planned," "potential,"
"should," "will," "would" or similar phrases. Such forward-looking statements
involve risks and uncertainty; actual results may differ materially from such
statements, and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.
Important factors potentially affecting the Company's performance include, but
are not limited to:

- major slowdowns in the retail, travel, restaurant and bar or
entertainment industries, including the impact of armed hostilities
or any other international or national calamity, including any act
of terrorism, on the retail, travel, restaurant and bar or
entertainment industries;

- significant increases in interest rates that increase the Company's
borrowing costs;

- significant increases in per-unit costs for natural gas,
electricity, corrugated packaging and other purchased materials;

- increases in expenses associated with higher medical costs,
increased pension expense associated with lower returns on pension
investments and increased pension obligations;

- devaluations and other major currency fluctuations relative to the
U.S. dollar, euro or Mexican peso that could reduce the cost
competitiveness of the Company's or Vitrocrisa's products compared
to foreign competition;

23


- the effect of high inflation in Mexico and exchange rate changes to
the value of the Mexican peso and the earnings expressed under
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and
cash flow of Vitrocrisa;

- the inability to achieve savings and profit improvements at targeted
levels at the Company and Vitrocrisa from capacity realignment,
re-engineering and operational restructuring programs or within the
intended time periods;

- protracted work stoppages related to collective bargaining
agreements;

- increased competition from foreign suppliers endeavoring to sell
glass tableware in the United States, Mexico and Europe, including
the impact of lower duties for imported products;

- whether the Company completes any significant acquisitions and
whether such acquisitions can operate profitably.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") reports are recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and
Exchange Commission's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated
and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely
decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the
disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and
procedures, no matter how well-designed and operated, can provide only
reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management
is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of
possible controls and procedures. Also, we have investments in certain
unconsolidated entities. As we do not control or manage these entities, our
disclosure controls and procedures with respect to such entities are necessarily
substantially more limited than those we maintain with respect to our
consolidated subsidiaries.

As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), the Company carried out an evaluation, under
the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management,
including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and the Company's Chief
Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the quarter
covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, the Company's Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure
controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

There has been no change in the Company's internal controls over financial
reporting during the Company's most recent fiscal quarter that has materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal
controls over financial reporting.
