Growth
Strategy
Our strategic vision is to be the premier provider of glass
tableware and related products worldwide. We seek to continue to
increase our share of our core North American market in the
foodservice, retail and Business to
3
Business channels by leveraging our leading market
position, superior product development capabilities, high
customer service levels and broad distribution network. In
International markets, we seek to increase our presence in the
European glass tableware market while broadening the reach of
our
business-to-business
franchise. We also believe that we have significant
opportunities for continued growth in China and throughout the
Pacific Rim due to our state of the art facility as well as our
growing sales force and distribution network.
In addition to our focus on top-line growth, the concurrent
improvement in profitability and cash flow generation is a key
element of our strategy. To this end, we continue to focus on a
number of initiatives aimed at creating operating efficiencies,
including eliminating waste and instilling a culture of
continuous improvement in all aspects of our operations, through
our Lean program, and improving working capital while reducing
natural gas consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. We also
believe that by leveraging our production capabilities in
low-cost countries such as Mexico, China and Portugal, our
business can achieve greater profitability and generate
increased cash flow through our ability to sell our products at
price points that enable us to compete more profitably.
Our growth strategy emphasizes continued internal growth in
combination with selected strategic partnerships, acquisitions
and green field developments. Since successfully
completing the acquisition of Crisa in Mexico in 2006 and
launching our glass manufacturing facility in China in 2007, we
have focused on improving our liquidity and capital structure.
We believe that in the long term there will be opportunities for
strategic partnerships and acquisitions in attractive developing
and emerging markets to complement our internal growth.
Products
Our tableware products consist of glass tableware (including
casual glass beverageware), ceramic dinnerware, metal flatware,
hollowware and serveware and plastic items. Our glass tableware
includes tumblers, stemware (including wine glasses), mugs,
bowls, ashtrays, bud vases, salt and pepper shakers, shot
glasses, canisters, candleholders and various other items. Royal
Leerdam produces high-quality stemware. Crisal produces glass
tableware, mainly tumblers, stemware and glassware accessories.
Crisas glass tableware product assortment includes the
product types produced by Libbey, as well as glass bakeware and
handmade glass tableware. In addition, Crisa products include
blender jars, washing machine windows and other glass products
sold principally to original equipment manufacturers
(OEMs). Through our Syracuse China and World Tableware
subsidiaries, we offer a wide range of ceramic dinnerware
products. These include plates, bowls, platters, cups, saucers
and other tableware accessories. Our World Tableware subsidiary
provides an extensive selection of metal flatware, including
knives, forks, spoons and serving utensils. In addition, World
Tableware sells metal hollowware, including serving trays,
chafing dishes, pitchers and other metal tableware accessories,
as well as an extensive line of dinnerware. Through our Traex
subsidiary, we produce and sell a wide range of plastic
products, including tabletop warewashing and storage racks,
trays, dispensers and organizers, to the foodservice industry.
Our global sales force presents all of our products to the
global marketplace in a coordinated fashion.
We also have an agreement to be the exclusive distributor of
Luigi Bormioli glassware in the United States and Canada to
foodservice users. Luigi Bormioli, based in Italy, is a highly
regarded supplier of high-end glassware used in many of the
finest eating and drinking establishments.
Customers
The customers for our tableware products include approximately
500 foodservice distributors in the United States and
Canada. In the retail channel, we sell to mass merchants,
department stores, retail distributors, national retail chains
and specialty housewares stores. In addition, our
business-to-business
channel primarily includes customers that use glass containers
for candle and floral applications, gourmet food packaging
companies, and various OEM applications. In Mexico, we sell to
retail mass merchants and wholesale distributors, as well as
candle and food packers, and various OEM users of custom molded
glass. In Europe, we market glassware to retailers, distributors
and decorators that service the retail, foodservice and highly
developed
business-to-business
channel, which includes large breweries and distilleries, for
which products are decorated with company logos for promotional
and resale purposes. We also have other customers who use our
products for promotional or other private uses. In China, we
sell to distributors and wholesalers. No single customer
accounts for 10 percent or more of our sales, although the
loss of any of our major customers could have a meaningful
effect on us.
4
Sales,
Marketing and Distribution
Approximately 76 percent of our sales are to customers
located in North America, and approximately 24 percent of
our sales are to customers located outside of North America. We
sell our products to over 100 countries around the world,
competing in the tableware markets of Latin America, Asia and
Europe, as well as North America.
We have our own sales staff of professionals who call on
customers and distributors. In addition, we retain the services
of manufacturing representative organizations to assist in
selling our products in select countries.
We also have marketing staff located at our corporate
headquarters in Toledo, Ohio, as well as in Mexico, the
Netherlands and China. They engage in developing strategies
relating to product development, pricing, distribution,
advertising and sales promotion.
We operate distribution centers located at or near each of our
manufacturing facilities (see Properties section).
In addition, we operate distribution centers for our products
produced in Mexico in Laredo, Texas, and for our
Syracuse®
China,
World®
Tableware and
Traex®
products in West Chicago, Illinois. We also operate a
distribution center for many of our products at Gorinchem, the
Netherlands. The glass tableware manufacturing and distribution
centers are strategically located to enable us to supply
significant quantities of our product to virtually all of our
customers on a timely and cost effective basis.
The majority of our sales are in the foodservice, retail and
business-to-business
channels, which are further detailed below.
Foodservice
We have, according to our estimates, the leading market share in
glass tableware sales in the U.S. and Canadian foodservice
channel. Our
Syracuse®
China,
World®
Tableware and
Traex®
brands are long-established brands of high-quality ceramic
dinnerware, metal flatware, hollowware and serveware, and
plastic items, respectively. We are among the leading suppliers
of these product categories to foodservice end users. A
significant majority of our tableware sales to foodservice end
users are made through a network of foodservice distributors.
The distributors in turn sell to a wide variety of foodservice
establishments, including national and regional hotel chains,
national and regional restaurant chains, independently owned
bars and restaurants and casinos.
Retail
Our primary customers in the retail channel include national and
international mass merchants. In recent years, we have increased
our retail sales by increasing our sales to specialty housewares
stores and value-oriented retailers. In 2010, we were recognized
by the Retail Tracking Services of NPD Group for increasing our
overall U.S. market share in the casual glass beverageware
market in 2009 to approximately 42 percent. Royal Leerdam
and Crisa sell to similar retail customers in Europe and Mexico,
while Crisal is increasingly positioned with retailers on the
Iberian Peninsula. With this retail representation, we are
positioned to successfully introduce profitable new products. We
also operate outlet stores located at or near the majority of
our manufacturing locations. In addition, we sell selected items
in the United States on the internet at www.libbey.com.
Business-to-Business
Royal Leerdam and Crisal supply glassware to the
business-to-business
channel of distribution in Europe. Customers in this channel
include marketers who decorate our glassware with company logos
and resell these products to large breweries and distilleries,
which redistribute the glassware for promotional purposes and
resale. Our
business-to-business
channel in North America includes candle and floral
applications, blender jars and washing machine windows. The
craft industries and gourmet food-packing companies are also
business-to-business
consumers of glassware.
5
Seasonality
Primarily due to the impact of consumer buying patterns and
production activity, our sales and operating income, excluding
special charges, tends to be stronger in the second half and
weaker in the first half of each year. In addition, our cash
flow from operations tends to be stronger in the second half of
the year and weaker in the first half of the year due to these
seasonal working capital trends. In particular, our inventory
levels typically reach their highest levels in the third quarter
of the year, and decrease in the following quarter due to
seasonally higher sales that typically peak in the fourth
quarter of the year. In addition, our receivables typically peak
during the third and early fourth quarters and begin to decrease
by the end of the year as cash collections continue through the
end of December, but limited shipments occur during the final
week of the year. Our payables normally peak during the third
and fourth quarters of the year as a result of our increased
production levels going into those quarters, but are not
significant to provide relief for total working capital needs
caused by increased investment in inventories. Accordingly, our
overall investment in working capital will normally reach higher
levels through the summer months as we build inventory during
slower sales periods in order to allow for optimum customer
service and timely delivery during the higher sales periods in
the second half of the year, when sales typically exceed
short-term production capabilities. Although little information
with respect to our competitors is publicly available, we
believe that our experience with working capital is generally
consistent with the experience for the industry as a whole.
Backlog
As of December 31, 2009, our backlog was approximately
$54.9 million, compared to approximately $31.1 million
at December 31, 2008. The increase was caused by increased
demand by our customers as orders have moved closer to more
traditional levels, and lower inventories that require us to
fill more orders from production, instead of from inventory.
Backlog includes orders confirmed with a purchase order for
products scheduled to be shipped to customers in a future
period. Because orders may be changed
and/or
cancelled, we do not believe that our backlog is necessarily
indicative of actual sales for any future period.
Manufacturing
and Sourcing
In North America, we currently own and operate three glass
tableware manufacturing plants - two in the United States
(one in Toledo, Ohio and one in Shreveport, Louisiana) and one
in Monterrey, Mexico. We also own and operate one facility in
Dane, Wisconsin that produces plastic products for the
foodservice industry. In Europe, we own and operate two glass
tableware manufacturing plants one in Leerdam, the
Netherlands, and the other in Marinha Grande, Portugal. In Asia,
we own and operate a glass tableware production facility in
Langfang, China.
The manufacture of our tableware products involves the use of
automated processes and technologies. We design much of our
glass tableware production machinery, and we continuously refine
it to incorporate technological advances to create a competitive
advantage. We believe that our production machinery and
equipment continue to be adequate for our needs in the
foreseeable future, but we continue to invest in ways to further
improve our production efficiency and reduce our cost profile.
Our glass tableware products generally are produced using one of
two manufacturing methods or, in the case of certain stemware, a
combination of such methods. Most of our tumblers, stemware and
other glass tableware products are produced by forming molten
glass in molds with the use of compressed air. These products
are known as blown glass products. Our other glass
tableware products and the stems of certain stemware are
pressware products, which are produced by pressing
molten glass into the desired product shape.
Ceramic dinnerware is also produced through the forming of raw
materials into the desired product shape and is either
manufactured at our Syracuse, New York, production facility
(through April 2009) or imported primarily from China and
Bangladesh. We source all metal flatware and metal hollowware
through our World Tableware subsidiary, primarily from China.
Plastic products are also produced through the injection molding
of raw materials into the desired shape and are manufactured at
our Dane, Wisconsin, production facility or imported primarily
from Taiwan and China.
To assist in the manufacturing process, we employ a team of
engineers whose responsibilities include efforts to improve and
upgrade our manufacturing facilities, equipment and processes.
In addition, they provide engineering
6
required to manufacture new products and implement the large
number of innovative changes continuously being made to our
product designs, sizes and shapes. See Research and
Development below for additional information.
Materials
Our primary materials are sand, lime, soda ash, corrugated
packaging, resins and colorants. Historically, these materials
have been available in adequate supply from multiple sources.
However, there may be temporary shortages of certain materials
due to weather or other factors, including disruptions in supply
caused by material transportation or production delays. Such
shortages have not previously had, and are not expected in the
future to have, a material adverse effect on our operations.
Natural gas is a primary source of energy in most of our
production processes, and variability in the price for natural
gas has had and could continue to have an impact on our
profitability. Historically, we have used natural gas hedging
contracts to partially mitigate this impact. In addition, resins
are a primary source of materials for our Traex operation, and,
historically, the price for resins has fluctuated, directly
impacting our profitability. We also experience fluctuations in
the cost to deliver materials to our facilities, and such
changes may affect our earnings and cash flow.
Research
and Development
Our core competencies include our engineering excellence and
world-class manufacturing techniques. Our focus is to increase
the quality of our products and enhance the profitability of our
business through research and development. We will continue to
invest in strategic research and development projects that will
further enhance our ability to compete in our core business.
We employ a team of engineers, in addition to external
consultants, to conduct research and development. Our
expenditures on research and development activities related to
new and/or
improved products and processes were $2.0 million in 2009,
$1.7 million in 2008, and $1.5 million in 2007. These
costs were expensed as incurred.
Patents,
Trademarks and Licenses
Based upon market research and surveys, we believe that our
trade names and trademarks, as well as our product shapes and
styles, enjoy a high degree of consumer recognition and are
valuable assets. We believe that the
Libbey®,
Syracuse®
China,
World®
Tableware,
Crisa®,
Royal
Leerdam®,
Crisal
Glass®
and
Traex®
trade names and trademarks are material to our business.
We have rights under a number of patents that relate to a
variety of products and processes. However, we do not consider
that any patent or group of patents relating to a particular
product or process is of material importance to our business as
a whole.

Our business is highly competitive, with the principal
competitive factors being customer service, price, product
quality, new product development, brand name and delivery time.

Environmental
Matters
Our operations, in common with those of industry generally, are
subject to numerous existing laws and governmental regulations
designed to protect the environment, particularly regarding
plant wastes and emissions and solid waste disposal and
remediations of contaminated sites. We believe that we are in
material compliance with applicable federal, state and local
environmental laws, and we are not aware of any regulatory
initiatives that we expect will have a material effect on our
products or operations. See Risk Factors Risks
Related to Our Business We are subject to various
environmental legal requirements and may be subject to new legal
requirements in the future; these requirements could have a
material adverse effect on our operations.
We have shipped, and we continue to ship, waste materials for
off-site disposal. However, we are not named as a potentially
responsible party with respect to any waste disposal site
matters pending prior to June 24, 1993, the date of
Libbeys initial public offering and separation from
Owens-Illinois, Inc. (Owens-Illinois). Owens-Illinois has been
named as a potentially responsible party or other participant in
connection with certain waste disposal sites to which we also
may have shipped wastes prior to June 24, 1993. We may bear
some responsibility in connection with those shipments. Pursuant
to an indemnification agreement between Owens-Illinois and
Libbey, Owens-Illinois has agreed to defend and hold us harmless
against any costs or liabilities we may incur in connection with
any such matters identified and pending as of June 24,
1993, and to indemnify us for any liability that results from
these matters in excess of $3 million. We believe that if
it is necessary to draw upon this indemnification, collection is
probable.
Pursuant to the indemnification agreement referred to above,
Owens-Illinois is defending us with respect to the King Road
landfill. In January 1999, the Board of Commissioners of Lucas
County, Ohio instituted a lawsuit against Owens-Illinois, Libbey
and numerous other defendants in the U.S. District Court
for the Northern District of Ohio to recover costs incurred to
address contamination from the King Road landfill formerly
operated by the County. The Board of Commissioners dismissed the
lawsuit without prejudice in October 2000. In view of the
uncertainty as to any re-filing of the suit, the remedy, and the
number of potentially responsible parties and potential
defenses, we are unable to quantify our exposure with respect to
the King Road landfill.
On October 10, 1995, Syracuse China Company, our
wholly-owned subsidiary, acquired from The Pfaltzgraff Co. and
certain of its subsidiary corporations, the assets operated by
them as Syracuse China. The Pfaltzgraff Co. and the New York
State Department of Environmental Conservation, which we refer
to as the DEC, entered into an Order on Consent effective
November 1, 1994 that required Pfaltzgraff to develop a
remedial action plan for and to
8
remediate a landfill, as well as wastewater sludge ponds and
adjacent wetlands located on property that Syracuse China
Company purchased. Although Syracuse China was not a party to
the Order on Consent, as part of the Asset Purchase Agreement
with The Pfaltzgraff Co., which we refer to as the APA, Syracuse
China agreed to share a part of the remediation and related
expense up to the lesser of 50 percent of such costs or
$1.35 million. The approved remedy has been implemented and
Syracuse Chinas payment obligation under the APA has been
satisfied.
In addition, Syracuse China has been named as a potentially
responsible party by reason of its potential ownership of
certain property that adjoins its plant and that has been
designated a
sub-site of
the Onondaga Lake Superfund Site. We believe that any
contamination of the
sub-site was
caused by and will be remediated by owners of this site at no
cost to Syracuse China. We believe that, even if Syracuse China
were deemed to be responsible for any expense in connection with
the contamination of the
sub-site, it
is likely that a portion of the expense would be paid by
Pfaltzgraff pursuant to the APA.
By letter dated October 31, 2008, the DEC and
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which we refer to as
the EPA, made a demand upon Syracuse China and several other
companies for recovery of approximately $12.5 million of
direct and indirect costs allegedly expended by the DEC and EPA
in connection with the
clean-up of
the Onondaga Lake Superfund Site. By letter dated
October 30, 2009, the EPA notified Syracuse China and
several other companies that they are potentially responsible
parties in connection with the Lower Ley Creek
sub-site of
the Onondaga Lake Superfund Site. At this time it is not certain
that there is a nexus between Syracuse China and the Superfund
Site. Under the APA, we and The Pfaltzgraff Co. will share any
costs for off-premise liability of this kind up to an aggregate
of $7.5 million. We have no reason to believe that the
indemnification would not be honored if it were to become
necessary for us to draw upon that indemnification.
We regularly review the facts and circumstances of the various
environmental matters affecting us, including those covered by
indemnification. Although not free of uncertainties, we do not
expect, based upon the number of parties involved at the sites
and the estimated cost of undisputed work necessary for
remediation based upon known technology and the experience of
others, to incur material loss for new matters in the future.
There can be no assurance, however, that indemnification
agreements will be performed or our future expenditures for
environmental matters will not have a material adverse effect on
our financial position or results of operations.
In addition, occasionally the federal government and various
state authorities have investigated possible health issues that
may arise from the use of lead or other ingredients in enamels
such as those used by us on the exterior surface of our
decorated products. In that connection, Libbey Glass Inc. and
numerous other glass tableware manufacturers, distributors and
importers entered into a consent judgment on August 31,
2004 in connection with an action, Leeman v. Arc
International North America, Inc. et al, Case
No. CGC-003-418025
(Superior Court of California, San Francisco County)
brought under Californias so-called Proposition
65. Proposition 65 requires businesses with ten or more
employees to give a clear and reasonable warning
prior to exposing any person to a detectable amount of a
chemical listed by the state as covered by this statute. Lead is
one of the chemicals covered by that statute. Pursuant to the
consent judgment, Libbey Glass Inc. and the other defendants
(including Anchor Hocking and Arc International North America,
Inc.) agreed, over a period of time, to reformulate the enamels
used to decorate the external surface of certain glass tableware
items to reduce the lead content of those enamels. We have
complied with this requirement.
Capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment for
environmental control activities were not material during 2008
or 2009 and are not expected to increase significantly in 2010.
Employees
Our employees are vital to achieving our vision to be the
premier provider of tabletop glassware and related products
worldwide and our mission to create value by
delivering quality products, great service and strong financial
results through the power of our people worldwide. We
strive to achieve our vision and mission through our values of
customer focus, performance, continuous improvement, teamwork,
respect and development.
We employed 6,857 persons at December 31, 2009.
Approximately 65 percent of our employees are employed
outside the U.S., and the majority of our employees are paid
hourly and covered by collective bargaining agreements. Royal
Leerdams collective bargaining agreement with its
unionized employees expires on July 1,
9
2010. Agreements with our unionized employees in Toledo, Ohio
expire on September 30, 2010. The agreement with our
unionized employees in Shreveport, Louisiana expires on
December 15, 2011. Crisas collective bargaining
agreements with its unionized employees have no expiration, but
wages are reviewed annually and benefits are reviewed every two
years. Crisal does not have a written collective bargaining
agreement with its unionized employees but does have an oral
agreement that is revisited annually.
The following factors are the most significant factors that can
impact
year-to-year
comparisons and may affect the future performance of our
businesses. New risks may emerge, and management cannot predict
those risks or estimate the extent to which they may affect our
financial performance.
Slowdowns in the retail, travel, restaurant and bar or
entertainment industries, such as those caused by general
economic downturns, terrorism, health concerns or strikes or
bankruptcies within those industries, could reduce our revenues
and production activity levels.
Our business is affected by the health of the retail, travel,
restaurant and bar or entertainment industries. Expenditures in
these industries are sensitive to business and personal
discretionary spending levels and may decline during general
economic downturns. Additionally, travel is sensitive to safety
concerns, and thus may decline after incidents of terrorism,
during periods of geopolitical conflict in which travelers
become concerned about safety issues, or when travel might
involve health-related risks. For example, demand for our
products in the foodservice industry, which is critical to our
success, was significantly impacted by the global economic
recession beginning in the third quarter of 2008.
Ongoing volatility in financial markets and the weak national
and global economic conditions could materially and adversely
impact our operations, financial results
and/or
liquidity, including as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
the financial stability of our customers or suppliers may be
compromised, which could result in additional bad debts for us
or non-performance by suppliers;
|
|
|
|
it may become more costly or difficult to obtain financing or
refinance our debt in the future;
|
|
|
|
the value of our assets held in pension plans may decline; and/or
|
|
|
|
our assets may be impaired or subject to write-down or write-off.
|
Uncertainty about current global economic conditions may cause
consumers of our products to postpone spending in response to
tighter credit, negative financial news
and/or
declines in income or asset values. This could have a material
adverse impact on the demand for our products and on our
financial condition and operating results. A further
deterioration in economic conditions would likely exacerbate
these adverse effects and could result in a wide-ranging and
prolonged impact on general business conditions, thereby
negatively impacting our operations, financial results
and/or
liquidity.
Our high level of debt, as well as incurrence of
additional debt, may limit our operating flexibility, which
could adversely affect our results of operations and financial
condition.
We have a high degree of financial leverage. As of
December 31, 2009, we had $515.2 million of debt
outstanding, net of discounts and warrants. Of that amount:
|
|
|
|
|
we had no debt outstanding under our ABL Facility, which was
secured by a first-priority lien on our assets, although we had
$9.9 million of letters of credit issued under that
facility;
|
|
|
|
approximately $304.3 million consisted of the Floating Rate
Senior Secured Notes, which were secured by a second-priority
lien on our collateral;
|
|
|
|
approximately $150.6 million consisted of the PIK Notes,
which were secured by a third-priority lien on our collateral.
(Under U.S. GAAP, we are required to record the New PIK
Notes at their carrying value of approximately
$150.6 million instead of their face value of
$80.4 million);
|
10
|
|
|
|
|
RMB 250 million (approximately $36.7 million at
December 31, 2009) consisted of a loan made by China
Construction Bank Corporation Langfang Economic Development Area
Sub-branch,
which we refer to as CCBC. We used the proceeds of this loan to
finance the construction of our manufacturing facility in China
that began operations in early 2007;
|
|
|
|
RMB 50 million (approximately $7.3 million at
December 31, 2009) consisted of a loan, which is fully
drawn, made by CCBC to finance the working capital needs of our
China facility;
|
|
|
|
9.9 million (approximately $14.2 million at
December 31, 2009) consisted of a loan made by Banco
Espirito Santo, S.A., which we refer to as the BES Euro Line, to
finance operational improvements associated with our Portuguese
operations;
|
|
|
|
$1.5 million consisted of amounts we owed under a
promissory note related to the purchase of our Laredo, Texas
warehouse; and
|
|
|
|
$0.7 million consisted of amounts drawn on the overdraft
lines of credit extended to our European operations.
|
On October 28, 2009, we exchanged the PIK Notes for
$80.4 million of new PIK notes and certain equity. On
February 8, 2010, we repurchased the new PIK Notes in
conjunction with the successful completion of our tender offer
for the $306.0 million of Floating Rate Senior Secured
Notes, the issuance of $400.0 million of new senior secured
notes and the amendment and restatement of our ABL Facility. See
note 20 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for
further discussion of this subsequent event.
Our amended and restated ABL Facility provides for borrowings up
to $110.0 million by Libbey Glass Inc. and Libbey Europe
B.V. At the closing of the amended and restated ABL Facility, we
had $51.2 million of undrawn availability, after giving
effect to borrowing base limitations, other reserves and
$9.9 million of letters of credit.
Although neither our amended and restated ABL Facility nor the
indenture governing our new senior secured notes contain
financial covenants, they do contain other covenants that limit
our operational and financial flexibility, such as by limiting
the additional indebtedness that we may incur, limiting certain
business activities, investments and payments, and limiting our
ability to dispose of certain assets. These covenants may limit
our ability to engage in activities that may be in our long-term
best interests. Our failure to comply with those covenants could
result in an event of default that, if not cured or waived,
could result in the acceleration of all of our debt.
We are permitted, subject to limitations contained in the
agreements relating to our existing debt, to incur additional
debt in the future. Our high degree of leverage, as well as the
incurrence of additional debt, could have important consequences
for our business, such as:
|
|
|
|
|
making it more difficult for us to satisfy our financial
obligations;
|
|
|
|
limiting our ability to make capital investments in order to
expand our business;
|
|
|
|
limiting our ability to obtain additional debt or equity
financing for working capital, capital expenditures, product
development, debt service requirements, acquisitions or other
purposes;
|
|
|
|
limiting our ability to invest operating cash flow in our
business and future business opportunities, because we use a
substantial portion of these funds to service debt and because
our covenants restrict the amount of our investments;
|
|
|
|
limiting our ability to withstand business and economic
downturns
and/or
placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our
competitors that have less debt, because of the high percentage
of our operating cash flow that is dedicated to servicing our
debt; and
|
|
|
|
limiting our ability to pay dividends.
|
If cash generated from operations is insufficient to satisfy our
liquidity requirements, if we cannot service our debt, or if we
fail to meet our covenants, we could have substantial liquidity
problems. In those circumstances, we might have to sell assets,
delay planned investments, obtain additional equity capital or
restructure our debt.
11
Depending on the circumstances at the time, we may not be able
to accomplish any of these actions on favorable terms or at all.
In addition, our failure to comply with the covenants contained
in our loan agreements could result in an event of default that,
if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of all
of our indebtedness.
Natural gas, the principal fuel we use to manufacture our
products, is subject to fluctuating prices; fluctuations in
natural gas prices could adversely affect our results of
operations and financial condition.
Natural gas is the primary source of energy in most of our
production processes. We do not have long-term contracts for
natural gas and therefore are subject to market variables and
widely fluctuating prices. Consequently, our operating results
are strongly linked to the cost of natural gas. As of
December 31, 2009, we had forward contracts in place to
hedge approximately 64.0 percent of our estimated 2010
natural gas needs with respect to our North American
manufacturing facilities and approximately 33.0 percent of
our estimated 2010 natural gas needs with respect to our
International manufacturing facilities. For the years ended
December 31, 2009 and 2008, we spent approximately
$53.4 million and $69.6 million, respectively, on
natural gas. We have no way of predicting to what extent natural
gas prices will rise in the future. To the extent that we are
not able to offset increases in natural gas prices, such as by
passing along the cost to our customers, these increases could
adversely impact our margins and operating performance.
International economic and political factors could affect
demand for imports and exports, and our financial condition and
results of operations could be adversely impacted as a
result.
Our operations may be affected by actions of foreign governments
and global or regional economic developments. Global economic
events, such as changes in foreign import/export policy, the
cost of complying with environmental regulations or currency
fluctuations, could also affect the level of U.S. imports
and exports, thereby affecting our sales. Foreign subsidies,
foreign trade agreements and each countrys adherence to
the terms of these agreements can raise or lower demand for our
products. National and international boycotts and embargoes of
other countries or U.S. imports
and/or
exports, together with the raising or lowering of tariff rates,
could affect the level of competition between our foreign
competitors and us. Foreign competition has, in the past, and
may, in the future, result in increased low-cost imports that
drive prices downward. The World Trade Organization met in
November 2001 in Doha, Qatar, where members launched new
multilateral trade negotiations aimed at improving market access
and substantially reducing trade-distorting domestic support.
These negotiations are ongoing and may result in further
agreements in the future. The current trade-weighted tariff rate
applicable to glass tableware products that are imported into
the United States and are of the type we manufacture in North
America is approximately 20.5 percent. However, any changes
to international agreements that lower duties or improve access
to U.S. markets for our competitors, particularly changes
arising out of the ongoing World Trade Organizations Doha
round of negotiations, could have an adverse effect on our
financial condition and results of operations. As we execute our
strategy of acquiring manufacturing platforms in lower cost
regions and increasing our volume of sales in overseas markets,
our dependence on international markets and our ability to
effectively manage these risks has increased and will continue
to increase significantly.
Fluctuation of the currencies in which we conduct
operations could adversely affect our financial condition and
results of operations or reduce the cost competitiveness of our
products or those of our subsidiaries.
Changes in the value, relative to the U.S. dollar, of the
various currencies in which we conduct operations, including the
euro, the Mexican peso and the Chinese yuan, which we refer to
as the RMB, may result in significant changes in the
indebtedness of our
non-U.S. subsidiaries.
Currency fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the
currencies of our
non-U.S. subsidiaries
affect our results as reported in U.S. dollars,
particularly the earnings of Crisa as expressed under GAAP, and
will continue to affect our financial income and expense and our
revenues from international settlements.
Major fluctuations in the value of the euro, the Mexican peso or
the RMB relative to the U.S. dollar and other major
currencies could also reduce the cost competitiveness of our
products or those of our subsidiaries, as compared to foreign
competition. For example, if the U.S. dollar appreciates
against the euro, the Mexican peso or
12
the RMB, the purchasing power of those currencies effectively
would be reduced compared to the U.S. dollar, making our
U.S.-manufactured
products more expensive in the euro zone, Mexico and China,
respectively, compared to the products of local competitors. An
appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the euro, the
Mexican peso or the RMB also would increase the cost of
U.S. dollar-denominated purchases for our operations in the
euro zone, Mexico and China, respectively, including raw
materials. We would be forced to deduct these cost increases
from our profit margin or attempt to pass them along to
consumers. These fluctuations could adversely affect our results
of operations and financial condition.
Our business requires us to maintain a large fixed cost
base that can affect our profitability.
The high levels of fixed costs of operating glass production
plants encourage high levels of output, even during periods of
reduced demand, which can lead to excess inventory levels and
exacerbate the pressure on profit margins. Our profitability is
dependent, in part, on our ability to spread fixed costs over an
increasing number of products sold and shipped, and if we reduce
our rate of production, as we did in 2009, our costs per unit
increase, negatively impacting our gross margins. Decreased
demand or the need to reduce inventories can lower our ability
to absorb fixed costs and materially impact our results of
operations.
We may not be able to achieve the international growth
contemplated by our strategy.
Our strategy contemplates growth in international markets in
which we have significantly less experience than our domestic
operations. Since we intend to benefit from our international
initiatives primarily by expanding our sales in the local
markets of other countries, our success depends on continued
growth in these markets, including Europe, Latin America and
Asia-Pacific.
We face intense competition and competitive pressures,
which could adversely affect our results of operations and
financial condition.
Our business is highly competitive, with the principal
competitive factors being customer service, price, product
quality, new product development, brand name, delivery time and
breadth of product offerings. Advantages or disadvantages in any
of these competitive factors may be sufficient to cause the
customer to consider changing manufacturers.
Competitors in glass tableware include, among others:
|
|
|
|
|
Arc International (a French company), which manufactures and
distributes glass tableware worldwide;
|
|
|
|
Paşabahçe (a unit of Şişecam, a Turkish
company), which manufactures glass tableware at various sites
throughout the world and sells to retail, foodservice and
business-to-business
customers worldwide;
|
|
|
|
Anchor Hocking Company (a U.S. company), which manufactures
and distributes glass beverageware, industrial products and
bakeware primarily to retail, industrial and foodservice
channels in the United States and Canada;
|
|
|
|
Bormioli Rocco Group (an Italian company), which manufactures
glass tableware in Europe, where the majority of its sales are
to retail and foodservice customers;
|
|
|
|
various manufacturers in China; and
|
|
|
|
various sourcing companies.
|
In addition, makers of tableware produced with other materials
such as plastics compete to a certain extent with glassware
manufacturers.
Some of our competitors have greater financial and capital
resources than we do and continue to invest heavily to achieve
increased production efficiencies. Competitors may have
incorporated more advanced technology in their manufacturing
processes, including more advanced automation techniques. Our
labor and energy costs also may be higher than those of some
foreign producers of glass tableware. We may not be successful
in managing our labor and energy costs or gaining operating
efficiencies that may be necessary to remain competitive. In
addition, our products may be subject to competition from
low-cost imports that intensify the price competition we face in
our
13
markets. Finally, we may need to increase incentive payments in
our marketing incentive program in order to remain competitive.
Increases in these payments would adversely affect our operating
margins.
Competitors in the U.S. market for ceramic dinnerware
include, among others: Homer Laughlin; Oneida Ltd.; Steelite;
and various sourcing companies. Competitors in metalware
include, among others: Oneida Ltd.; Walco, Inc.; and various
sourcing companies. Competitors in plastic products include,
among others: Cambro Manufacturing Company; Carlisle Companies
Incorporated; and various sourcing companies. In Mexico, where a
larger portion of our sales are in the retail market, our
primary competitors include imports from foreign manufacturers
located in countries such as China, France, Italy and Colombia,
as well as Vidriera Santos and Vitro Par in the candle category.
Competitive pressures from these competitors and producers could
adversely affect our results of operations and financial
condition.
We may not be able to renegotiate collective bargaining
agreements successfully when they expire; organized strikes or
work stoppages by unionized employees may have an adverse effect
on our operating performance.
We are party to collective bargaining agreements that cover most
of our manufacturing employees. Royal Leerdams collective
bargaining agreement with its unionized employees expires on
July 1, 2010. The agreements with our unionized employees
in Toledo, Ohio expire on September 30, 2010, and the
agreement with our unionized employees in Shreveport, Louisiana
expires on December 15, 2011. Crisas collective
bargaining agreements with its unionized employees have no
expiration, but wages are reviewed annually and benefits are
reviewed every two years. Crisal does not have a written
collective bargaining agreement with its unionized employees but
does have an oral agreement that is revisited annually.
We may not be able to successfully negotiate new collective
bargaining agreements without any labor disruption. If any of
our unionized employees were to engage in a strike or work
stoppage prior to expiration of their existing collective
bargaining agreements, or if we are unable in the future to
negotiate acceptable agreements with our unionized employees in
a timely manner, we could experience a significant disruption of
operations. In addition, we could experience increased operating
costs as a result of higher wages or benefits paid to union
members upon the execution of new agreements with our labor
unions. We also could experience operating inefficiencies as a
result of preparations for disruptions in production, such as
increasing production and inventories. Finally, companies upon
which we are dependent for raw materials, transportation or
other services could be affected by labor difficulties. These
factors and any such disruptions or difficulties could have an
adverse impact on our operating performance and financial
condition.
In addition, we are dependent on the cooperation of our largely
unionized workforce to implement and adopt Lean initiatives that
are critical to our ability to improve our production
efficiency. The effect of strikes and other slowdowns may
adversely affect the degree and speed with which we can adopt
Lean optimization objectives and the success of that program.
The inability to extend or refinance debt of our foreign
subsidiaries, or the calling of that debt before scheduled
maturity, could adversely impact our liquidity and financial
condition.
Our subsidiaries in Portugal and China have outstanding debt
under credit facilities provided to them by local financial
institutions. As of December 31, 2009 our subsidiary in
China had an RMB 250 million (approximately
$36.7 million at December 31, 2009) construction
loan and RMB 50 million (approximately $7.3 million at
December 31, 2009) working capital loan, in each case
extended by CCBC. The RMB 50 million working capital loan
is scheduled to mature in March 2010. In February 2010, this
loan was extended by CCBC to mature in January 2011. If CCBC
were to call the working capital loan
and/or the
construction loan before maturity, or if Banco Espirito Santo,
S.A., the lender under our Portuguese subsidiarys credit
facility, were to call the BES Euro line before maturity, our
liquidity and financial condition may be adversely impacted.
If either CCBC or Banco Espirito Santo, S.A. calls these loans
for repayment prior to their scheduled maturity, we may be
required to pursue one or more alternative strategies to repay
these loans, such as selling assets, refinancing or
restructuring these loans or selling additional debt or equity
securities. We may not, however, be able to refinance these
loans or sell additional debt or equity securities on favorable
terms, if at all, and if we are required to sell our assets, it
may negatively affect our ability to generate revenues.
14
Our cost-reduction projects may not result in anticipated
savings in operating costs.
We may not be able to achieve anticipated cost reductions. Our
ability to achieve cost savings and other benefits within
expected time frames is subject to many estimates and
assumptions. These estimates and assumptions are subject to
significant economic, competitive and other uncertainties, some
of which are beyond our control. If these estimates and
assumptions are incorrect, if we experience delays, or if other
unforeseen events occur, our business, financial condition and
results of operations could be adversely impacted.
We are subject to risks associated with operating in
foreign countries. These risks could adversely affect our
results of operations and financial condition.
We operate manufacturing and other facilities throughout the
world. As a result of our International operations, we are
subject to risks associated with operating in foreign countries,
including:
|
|
|
|
|
political, social and economic instability;
|
|
|
|
war, civil disturbance or acts of terrorism;
|
|
|
|
taking of property by nationalization or expropriation without
fair compensation;
|
|
|
|
changes in government policies and regulations;
|
|
|
|
devaluations and fluctuations in currency exchange rates;
|
|
|
|
imposition of limitations on conversions of foreign currencies
into dollars or remittance of dividends and other payments by
foreign subsidiaries;
|
|
|
|
imposition or increase of withholding and other taxes on
remittances and other payments by foreign subsidiaries;
|
|
|
|
ineffective intellectual property protection;
|
|
|
|
hyperinflation in certain foreign countries; and
|
|
|
|
impositions or increase of investment and other restrictions or
requirements by foreign governments.
|
The risks associated with operating in foreign countries may
have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and
financial condition.
If we have a fair value impairment in a business segment,
our net earnings and net worth could be materially and adversely
affected by a write-down of goodwill, intangible assets or fixed
assets.
We have recorded a significant amount of goodwill, which
represents the excess of cost over the fair value of the net
assets of the business acquired; other identifiable intangible
assets, including trademarks and trade names; and fixed assets.
Impairment of goodwill, identifiable intangible assets or fixed
assets may result from, among other things, deterioration in our
performance, adverse market conditions, adverse changes in
applicable laws or regulations, including changes that restrict
the activities of or affect the products sold by our business,
and a variety of other factors. Under U.S. GAAP, we are
required to charge the amount of any impairment immediately to
operating income. In 2009, we did not have an impairment related
to goodwill, intangible assets or fixed assets. In 2008, we
wrote down goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets by
$11.9 million related to the decline in the capital
markets, and we wrote down fixed assets by $9.7 million
related to the announcement of the closure of our Syracuse China
manufacturing facility and our Mira Loma, California
distribution center. After that adjustment, as of
December 31, 2008, we had goodwill and other identifiable
intangible assets of $192.9 million and net fixed assets of
$314.8 million. As of December 31, 2009, we had
goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets of
$193.2 million and net fixed assets of $290.0 million.
We conduct an impairment analysis at least annually. This
analysis requires our management to make significant judgments
and estimates, primarily regarding expected growth rates, the
terminal value calculation for cash flow and the discount rate.
We determine expected growth rates based on internally developed
forecasts considering our future financial plans. We establish
the terminal cash flow value based on expected growth rates,
15
capital spending trends and investment in working capital to
support anticipated sales growth. We estimate the discount rate
used based on an analysis of comparable company weighted average
costs of capital that considered market assumptions obtained
from independent sources. The estimates that our management uses
in this analysis could be materially impacted by factors such as
specific industry conditions, changes in cash flow from
operations and changes in growth trends. In addition, the
assumptions our management uses are managements best
estimates based on projected results and market conditions as of
the date of testing. Significant changes in these key
assumptions could result in indicators of impairment when
completing the annual impairment analysis. We remain subject to
future financial statement risk in the event that goodwill,
other identifiable intangible assets or fixed assets become
further impaired. For further discussion of key assumptions in
our critical accounting estimates, see Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations Critical Accounting Estimates.
A severe outbreak, epidemic or pandemic of the H1N1 virus
or other contagious disease in a location where we have a
facility could adversely impact our results of operations and
financial condition.
Our facilities may be impacted by the outbreak of certain public
health issues, including epidemics, pandemics and other
contagious diseases such as the H1N1 virus, commonly referred to
as the swine flu. If a severe outbreak were to occur
where we have facilities, it could adversely impact our results
of operations and financial condition.
We are subject to various environmental legal requirements
and may be subject to new legal requirements in the future;
these requirements could have a material adverse effect on our
operations.
Our operations and properties, both in the United States and
abroad, are subject to extensive laws, ordinances, regulations
and other legal requirements relating to environmental
protection, including legal requirements governing investigation
and clean-up
of contaminated properties as well as water discharges, air
emissions, waste management and workplace health and safety.
These legal requirements frequently change and vary among
jurisdictions. Compliance with these requirements, or the
failure to comply with these requirements, may have a material
adverse effect on operations.
We have incurred, and expect to incur, costs to comply with
environmental legal requirements, including requirements
limiting greenhouse gas emissions, and these costs could
increase in the future. Many environmental legal requirements
provide for substantial fines, orders (including orders to cease
operations) and criminal sanctions for violations. Also, certain
environmental laws impose strict liability and, under certain
circumstances, joint and several liability on current and prior
owners and operators of these sites, as well as persons who sent
waste to them, for costs to investigate and remediate
contaminated sites. These legal requirements may apply to
conditions at properties that we presently or formerly owned or
operated, as well as at other properties for which we may be
responsible, including those at which wastes attributable to us
were disposed. A significant order or judgment against us, the
loss of a significant permit or license or the imposition of a
significant fine may have a material adverse effect on
operations.
If we are unable to obtain sourced products or materials
at favorable prices, our operating performance may be adversely
affected.
Sand, soda ash, lime, corrugated packaging materials and resin
are the principal materials we use. In addition, we obtain glass
tableware, ceramic dinnerware, metal flatware and hollowware and
select plastic products from third parties. We may experience
temporary shortages due to disruptions in supply caused by
weather, transportation, production delays or other factors that
would require us to secure our sourced products or materials
from sources other than our current suppliers. If we are forced
to procure sourced products or materials from alternative
suppliers, we may not be able to do so on terms as favorable as
our current terms or at all. In addition, resins are a primary
material for our Traex operation and historically the price for
resins has fluctuated with the price of oil, directly impacting
our profitability. Material increases in the cost of any of
these items on an industry-wide basis would have an adverse
impact on our operating performance and cash flows if we were
unable to pass on these increased costs to our customers.
16
Unexpected equipment failures may lead to production
curtailments or shutdowns.
Our manufacturing processes are dependent upon critical
glass-producing equipment, such as furnaces, forming machines
and lehrs. This equipment may incur downtime as a result of
unanticipated failures, accidents, natural disasters or other
force majeure events. We may in the future experience
facility shutdowns or periods of reduced production as a result
of such failures or events. Unexpected interruptions in our
production capabilities would adversely affect our productivity
and results of operations for the affected period. We also may
face shutdowns if we are unable to obtain enough energy in the
peak heating seasons.
High levels of inflation and high interest rates in Mexico
could adversely affect the operating results and cash flows of
Crisa.
Although the annual rate of inflation in Mexico, as measured by
changes in the Mexican National Consumer Price Index, was only
5.3 percent for the year ended December 31, 2009 and
5.1 percent for the year ended December 31, 2008,
Mexico historically has experienced high levels of inflation and
high domestic interest rates. If Mexico experiences high levels
of inflation, Crisas operating results and cash flows
could be adversely affected, and, more generally, high inflation
might result in lower demand or lower growth in demand for our
products, thereby adversely affecting our results of operations
and financial condition.
Charges related to our employee pension and postretirement
welfare plans resulting from market risk and headcount
realignment may adversely affect our results of operations and
financial condition.
In connection with our employee pension and postretirement
welfare plans, we are exposed to market risks associated with
changes in the various capital markets. Changes in long-term
interest rates affect the discount rate that is used to measure
our obligations and related expense. Our total pension and
postretirement welfare expense, including pension settlement and
curtailment charges, for all U.S. and
non-U.S. plans
was $18.7 million and $19.0 million for the fiscal
years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. We
expect our total pension and postretirement welfare expense for
all U.S. and
non-U.S. plans
to increase to $21.8 million in 2010. Volatility in the
capital markets affects the performance of our pension plan
asset performance and related pension expense. Based on
2009 year-end data, sensitivity to these key market risk
factors is as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
A change of 1 percent in the discount rate would change our
total pension and postretirement welfare expense by
approximately $3.6 million.
|
|
|
|
A change of 1 percent in the expected long-term rate of
return on plan assets would change total pension expense by
approximately $2.4 million.
|
As part of our pension expense, we incurred pension settlement
charges of $3.7 million during 2009. These charges were
triggered by excess lump sum distributions to retirees. For
further discussion of these charges, see note 9 to our
Consolidated Financial Statements. As part of total expense, we
incurred pension curtailment charges of $1.1 million and
nonpension and postretirement impairment charges of
$3.1 million during 2008. The charges in 2008 were
triggered by our announcement in December 2008 that our Syracuse
China manufacturing plant would be shut down during April 2009.
For further discussion, see notes 7, 9 and 10 to our
Consolidated Financial Statements. To the extent that we
experience additional headcount shifts or changes, we may incur
further expenses related to our employee pension and
postretirement welfare plans, which could have a material
adverse effect on our results of operations and financial
condition.
If our hedges do not qualify as highly effective or if we
do not believe that forecasted transactions would occur, the
changes in the fair value of the derivatives used as hedges
would be reflected in our earnings.
In order to mitigate the variation in our operating results due
to commodity price fluctuations, we have derivative financial
instruments that hedge certain of commodity price risks
associated with forecasted future natural gas requirements and
foreign exchange rate risks associated with transactions
denominated in some currencies other than the U.S. dollar.
The results of our hedging practices could be positive, neutral
or negative in any period depending on price changes of the
hedged exposures. We account for derivatives in accordance with
Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards
Codificationtm
Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (formerly
SFAS No. 133,
17
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities), which we refer to as FASB ASC 815. These
derivatives qualify for hedge accounting if the hedges are
highly effective and we have designated and documented
contemporaneously the hedging relationships involving these
derivative instruments. If our hedges do not qualify as highly
effective or if we do not believe that forecasted transactions
would occur, the changes in the fair value of the derivatives
used as hedges will impact our results of operations and could
significantly impact our earnings.
Our business may suffer if we do not retain our senior
management.
We depend on our senior management. The loss of services of any
of the members of our senior management team for any reason,
including resignation or retirement, could adversely affect our
business until a suitable replacement can be found. There may be
a limited number of persons with the requisite skills to serve
in these positions, and we may be unable to locate or employ
such qualified personnel on acceptable terms. In Spring 2009,
our chief financial officer, Gregory Geswein, received
indications of potential civil enforcement actions and criminal
proceedings from the SEC and the U.S. Attorney for the
Northern District of Ohio, respectively, relating to accounting
matters at one of Mr. Gesweins prior employers,
Diebold, Inc. These matters arise out of his prior employment as
chief financial officer of Diebold from 2000 through
August 12, 2005, and none of the allegations involve
Libbey. If any actions or proceedings are initiated against
Mr. Geswein, it is possible that we could lose his services
as our chief financial officer.
We rely on increasingly complex information systems for
management of our manufacturing, distribution, sales and other
functions. If our information systems fail to perform these
functions adequately, or if we experience an interruption in
their operation, our business and results of operations could
suffer.
All of our major operations, including manufacturing,
distribution, sales and accounting are dependent upon our
complex information systems. Our information systems are
vulnerable to damage or interruption from:
|
|
|
|
|
earthquake, fire, flood, hurricane and other natural disasters;
|
|
|
|
power loss, computer systems failure, internet and
telecommunications or data network failure; and
|
|
|
|
hackers, computer viruses, software bugs or glitches.
|
Any damage or significant disruption in the operation of such
systems or the failure of our information systems to perform as
expected could disrupt our business; result in decreased sales,
increased overhead costs, excess inventory and product
shortages; and otherwise adversely affect our operations,
financial performance and condition. We take significant steps
to mitigate the potential impact of each of these risks, but
there can be no assurance that these procedures would be
completely successful.
We may not be able to effectively integrate future
businesses we acquire or joint ventures we enter into.
Any future acquisitions that we might make or joint ventures we
might enter are subject to various risks and uncertainties,
including:
|
|
|
|
|
the inability to integrate effectively the operations, products,
technologies and personnel of the acquired companies (some of
which may be spread out in different geographic regions) and to
achieve expected synergies;
|
|
|
|
the potential disruption of existing business and diversion of
managements attention from
day-to-day
operations;
|
|
|
|
the inability to maintain uniform standards, controls,
procedures and policies or correct deficient standards,
controls, procedures and policies, including internal controls
and procedures sufficient to satisfy regulatory requirements of
a public company in the United States;
|
|
|
|
the incurrence of contingent obligations that were not
anticipated at the time of the acquisitions;
|
|
|
|
the failure to obtain necessary transition services such as
management services, information technology services and others;
|
|
|
|
the need or obligation to divest portions of the acquired
companies; and
|
18
|
|
|
|
|
the potential impairment of relationships with customers.
|
In addition, we cannot assure you that the integration and
consolidation of newly acquired businesses or joint ventures
will achieve any anticipated cost savings and operating
synergies. The inability to integrate and consolidate operations
and improve operating efficiencies at newly acquired businesses
or joint ventures could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our
business requires significant capital investment and maintenance
expenditures that we may be unable to fulfill.
Our operations are capital intensive, requiring us to maintain a
large fixed cost base. Our total capital expenditures were
$17.0 million and $45.7 million for the years ended
December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Our business may not generate sufficient operating cash flow and
external financing sources may not be available in an amount
sufficient to enable us to make anticipated capital expenditures.
If our
investments in new technology and other capital expenditures do
not yield expected returns, our results of operations could be
reduced.
The manufacture of our tableware products involves the use of
automated processes and technologies. We designed much of our
glass tableware production machinery internally and have
continued to develop and refine this equipment to incorporate
advancements in technology. We will continue to invest in
equipment and make other capital expenditures to further improve
our production efficiency and reduce our cost profile. To the
extent that these investments do not generate targeted levels of
returns in terms of efficiency or improved cost profile, our
financial condition and results of operations could be adversely
affected.
Our
failure to protect our intellectual property or prevail in any
intellectual property litigation could materially and adversely
affect our competitive position, reduce revenue or otherwise
harm our business.
Our success depends in part on our ability to protect our
intellectual property rights. We rely on a combination of
patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret laws, licenses,
confidentiality and other agreements to protect our intellectual
property rights. However, this protection may not be fully
adequate. Our intellectual property rights may be challenged or
invalidated, an infringement suit by us against a third party
may not be successful
and/or third
parties could adopt trademarks similar to our own. In
particular, third parties could design around or copy our
proprietary furnace, manufacturing and mold technologies, which
are important contributors to our competitive position in the
glass tableware industry. We may be particularly susceptible to
these challenges in countries where protection of intellectual
property is not strong. In addition, we may be accused of
infringing or violating the intellectual property rights of
third parties. Any such claims, whether or not meritorious,
could result in costly litigation and divert the efforts of our
personnel. Our failure to protect our intellectual property or
prevail in any intellectual property litigation could materially
and adversely affect our competitive position, reduce revenue or
otherwise harm our business.
Devaluation
or depreciation of, or governmental conversion controls over,
the foreign currencies in which we operate could affect our
ability to convert the earnings of our foreign subsidiaries into
U.S. dollars.
Major devaluation or depreciation of the Mexican peso could
result in disruption of the international foreign exchange
markets and may limit our ability to transfer or to convert
Crisas Mexican peso earnings into U.S. dollars and
other currencies upon which we will rely in part to satisfy our
debt obligations. While the Mexican government does not
currently restrict, and for many years has not restricted, the
right or ability of Mexican or foreign persons or entities to
convert pesos into U.S. dollars or to transfer other
currencies out of Mexico, the government could institute
restrictive exchange rate policies in the future. Restrictive
exchange rate policies could adversely affect our results of
operations and financial condition.
In addition, the government of China imposes controls on the
convertibility of RMB into foreign currencies and, in certain
cases, the remittance of currency out of China. Shortages in the
availability of foreign currency may restrict the ability of our
Chinese subsidiaries to remit sufficient foreign currency to
make payments to us. Under
19
existing Chinese foreign exchange regulations, payments of
current account items, including profit distributions, interest
payments and expenditures from trade-related transactions, can
be made in foreign currencies without prior approval from the
Chinese State Administration of Foreign Exchange by complying
with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from
appropriate government authorities is required where RMB are to
be converted into foreign currencies and remitted out of China
to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of bank loans
denominated in foreign currencies. In the future, the Chinese
government could institute restrictive exchange rate policies
for current account transactions. These policies could adversely
affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Payment of severance or retirement benefits earlier than
anticipated could strain our cash flow.
Certain members of our senior management have employment and
change in control agreements that provide for substantial
severance payments and retirement benefits. We are required to
fund a certain portion of these payments according to a
predetermined schedule, but some of our nonqualified obligations
are currently unfunded. Should several of these senior managers
leave our employ under circumstances entitling them to severance
or retirement benefits, or become disabled or die, before we
have funded these payments, the need to pay these severance or
retirement benefits ahead of their anticipated schedule could
put a strain on our cash flow.
We are involved in litigation from time to time in the
ordinary course of business.
We are involved in various routine legal proceedings arising in
the ordinary course of our business. We do not consider any
pending legal proceeding as material. However, we could be
adversely affected by legal proceedings in the future, including
products liability claims related to the products we manufacture.

The closing market price of our common stock on March 1,
2010 was $13.70 per share.
On March 1, 2010, there were 969 registered common
shareholders of record. We paid a regular quarterly cash
dividend from the time of Initial Public Offering in 1993 until
we suspended the dividend in February 2009. The declaration of
future dividends is within the discretion of the Board of
Directors of Libbey and depends upon, among other things,
business conditions, earnings and the financial condition of
Libbey.
Comparison
of Cumulative Total Returns
The graph below compares the total stockholder return on our
common stock to the cumulative total return for the Russell 2000
Index (Russell 2000), a small-cap index and the
Standard & Poors Housewares &
Specialties Index, a capitalization-weighted index that measures
the performance of the housewares sector of the
Standard & Poors SmallCap Index
(Housewares-Small). We selected the
Housewares Small index because there are no other
glass tableware manufacturers with stock that is publicly traded
in the U.S. The indices reflect the year-end market value
of an investment in the stock of each company in the index,
including additional shares assumed to have been acquired with
cash dividends, if any.
25
The graph assumes a $100 investment in our common stock on
January 1, 2004, and also assumes investments of $100 in
each of the Russell 2000, and the Housewares-Small index,
respectively, on January 1, 2004. The value of these
investments on December 31 of each year from 2004 through 2009
is shown in the table below the graph.

We announced on December 10, 2002, that our Board of
Directors authorized the purchase of up to 2,500,000 shares
of our common stock in the open market and negotiated purchases.
There is no expiration date for this plan. In 2003,
1,500,000 shares of our common stock were purchased for
$38.9 million. No additional shares were purchased in 2009,
2008, 2007, 2006, 2005 or 2004. Our ABL Facility and the
indentures governing the Floating Rate Senior Secured Notes and
the PIK Notes significantly restrict our ability to repurchase
additional shares. |

OVERVIEW
GENERAL
Headquartered in Toledo, Ohio, Libbey has the largest
manufacturing, distribution and service network among glass
tableware manufacturers in the Western Hemisphere and is one of
the largest glass tableware manufacturers in the world. Our
product portfolio consists of an extensive line of high quality,
machine-made glass tableware, including casual glass
beverageware, in addition to ceramic dinnerware, metalware and
plasticware. We sell our products to foodservice, retail and
business-to-business
customers in over 100 countries, with our sales to customers
within North America accounting for approximately
76 percent of our sales. We are the largest manufacturer
and marketer of casual glass beverageware in North America for
the foodservice and retail channels. Additionally, we believe we
are a leading manufacturer and marketer of casual glass
beverageware in Europe and have a growing presence in Asia.
We report our results of operations in the following three
segments:
|
|
|
|
|
North American Glass includes sales of glass
tableware from subsidiaries throughout the United States, Canada
and Mexico.
|
|
|
|
North American Other includes sales of ceramic
dinnerware; metal tableware, hollowware and serveware; and
plastic items from subsidiaries in the United States.
|
|
|
|
International includes worldwide sales of glass
tableware from subsidiaries outside the United States, Canada
and Mexico.

EXECUTIVE
OVERVIEW
Throughout 2009, economic market conditions continued to be
challenging. In spite of a 7.6 percent decline in net sales
in 2009, to $748.6 million in 2009 from $810.2 million
in 2008, our actions to reduce our costs, right-size our
capacity and conserve cash enabled us to withstand the global
economic downturn and credit crisis. Our income from operations
for 2009 was $36.6 million, as compared to a loss of
$5.5 million for 2008.
After implementing a hiring and salary freeze in October 2008,
during 2009 we took the following actions to reduce our costs,
right-size our capacity and generate cash:
|
|
|
|
|
We reduced most U.S. salaries by 5.0 percent to
7.5 percent, and we suspended the Company matching
contributions to our salaried employees 401(k) accounts.
(After significantly reducing costs, improving our liquidity and
completing our debt exchange in October 2009, we rescinded the
salary cuts and reinstated the 401(k) matching contributions for
pay periods beginning December 1, 2009.)
|
|
|
|
We tightened our capital spending.
|
|
|
|
We implemented aggressive inventory and working capital
reduction plans.
|
|
|
|
We completed the closing of our Syracuse China ceramic
dinnerware factory, in Syracuse, New York in April, and the
closing of our Mira Loma, California distribution center in June.
|
|
|
|
We increased the pace of our LEAN initiatives worldwide.
|
Despite the challenging economic conditions during 2009, we had
a number of highlights in 2009. Among them are the following:
|
|
|
|
|
We increased our leading U.S. retail market share for the
fourth year in a row. According to NPD Group Retail Tracking
Services, we now have 42.1 percent of the casual
beverageware market.
|
|
|
|
Net sales in our U.S. and Canadian retail business grew by
more than 7.0 percent.
|
|
|
|
Net sales in our U.S. and Canadian foodservice business
grew by approximately 6.0 percent in the fourth quarter
2009 compared to the fourth quarter 2008.
|
|
|
|
Our Crisa business in Mexico had a strong 2009 fourth quarter,
with net sales up 15.2 percent compared to the fourth
quarter 2008.
|
28
|
|
|
|
|
We repositioned the
Syracuse®
China brand, reducing the product offering from over 5,000 items
to just over 500 items that are imported from the Far East.
|
|
|
|
Net sales at our newest business, Libbey China, continued to
grow, increasing by 15.6 percent compared to 2008.
|
In addition, we implemented a two-step debt restructuring, which
enhanced our capital structure and liquidity position. As a
result, we have reduced our weighted average cost of capital and
extended the loan maturities. See notes 6 and 20 to our
Consolidated Financial Statements for further details. The
two-step restructuring consisted of the following:
|
|
|
|
|
In October 2009, we restructured a portion of our debt by
exchanging our Old PIK Notes, in the face amount of
$160.9 million for New PIK Notes in the face amount of
$80.4 million and additional common stock and warrants of
Libbey Inc. Interest on the New PIK Notes was to accrue at zero
percent until December 2010 if we were unable to refinance our
$306.0 million Senior Notes before that date.
|
|
|
|
On February 8, 2010, we used the proceeds of a
$400.0 million debt offering and cash on hand to redeem the
New PIK Notes and repurchase the $306.0 million senior
secured notes due 2011. We also amended our ABL Facility.
|
We experienced strong performance in our segments during the
fourth quarter 2009 and were able to increase utilization of our
production capacity over the last half of 2009 compared to the
first six months of 2009. However, at this time we still expect
that the economic recovery will occur slowly. We will continue
to monitor our customer markets and, as the economy improves, we
are prepared to adjust production level further.

We believe that EBIT, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP
financial measures, are useful metrics for evaluating our
financial performance, as they are measures that we use
internally to assess our performance. For reconciliation from
net loss to EBIT, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, see the
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
section below. |

Discussion
of 2009 vs. 2008 Results of Operations
Net
Sales
In 2009, net sales decreased 7.6 percent to
$748.6 million from $810.2 million in 2008. The
decrease in net sales was attributable to reduced sales within
all three of our business segments. Within North American Glass,
where sales declined 5.7 percent overall, shipments to
U.S. and Canadian foodservice customers declined over
10.0 percent and net sales of Crisa product declined
14.7 percent. Nearly half of the sales decline at Crisa was
due to an unfavorable currency impact from the Mexican peso.
Partially offsetting these decreases in net sales was an
increase of more than 7.0 percent in shipments to
U.S. and Canadian retail glassware customers. Within North
American Other, sales declined 21.6 percent to
$87.0 million in 2009 from $111.0 million in 2008, as
shipments declined by 37.2 percent at Syracuse China
(primarily due to the closure of the Syracuse China facility in
April 2009 and the decision to reduce the
Syracuse®
China product offering), 11.3 percent at World Tableware
and 24.2 percent at Traex. International net sales
decreased 5.5 percent primarily due to an unfavorable
currency exchange impact in Europe. Excluding currency exchange
impact, a decline in shipments of more than 2.5 percent at
Royal Leerdam was more than offset by an 11.7 percent
increase in shipments from our facility in China.
Gross
Profit
Gross profit increased in 2009 by $23.8 million, or
21.8 percent, compared to 2008. Gross profit as a
percentage of net sales increased to 17.8 percent in 2009,
compared to 13.5 percent in 2008. Contributing to the
increase in gross profit and gross profit margin was a decrease
of $16.7 million in special charges, to $2.0 million
in 2009 from $18.7 million in 2008 (see note 7 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements). The 2009 amounts are
primarily attributable to the closing of our Syracuse China
facility. Included in the 2008 amount were $14.0 million of
special charges related to the announced closing of our Syracuse
China manufacturing facility, $0.2 million related to the
announced closure of our Mira Loma distribution center and
$4.5 million related to fixed asset impairment charges in
our North American Glass segment. Excluding the impact from
special charges and currency, 2009 gross profit benefited
from an improvement of $12.1 million due to lower
manufacturing costs, primarily labor and benefits, natural gas,
electricity and cartons, offset by reduced production activity,
a reduction of $23.6 million in distribution costs and a
reduction of $1.1 million in depreciation expense. The
reduction in distribution costs was the result of lower net
sales and lower inventory levels. These improvements were
partially offset by a $20.4 million decrease due to an
unfavorable mix and lower level of net sales, and a
$10.6 million negative currency impact.
Income
(loss) from operations
Income from operations was $36.6 million in 2009, compared
to a loss from operations of $(5.5) million in 2008. Income
from operations as a percentage of net sales increased to
4.9 percent in 2009, compared to (0.7) percent in 2008.
Contributing to the increase in income from operations and
income from operations margin are the improved gross profit and
gross profit margin (discussed above), a decrease of
$24.8 million in special charges
30
partially offset by a $6.4 million increase in selling,
general and administrative expenses. The reduction in special
charges related to the closures of our Syracuse China
manufacturing facility ($12.2 million), our Mira Loma
distribution center ($0.7 million) and the impairment
charge on goodwill and other intangible assets within our
International segment ($11.9 million) which occurred in
2008 and a similar charge did not occur in 2009 (see note 7
to the Consolidated Financial Statements). The $6.4 million
increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was
caused by a $12.8 million increase in expense for our
annual incentive compensation plan, a $3.2 million pension
settlement charge arising from lump sum payments to retirees
during 2009 and a one-time 2008 accrual reversal of
$1.3 million related to favorable rulings in connection
with an outstanding dispute regarding a warehouse lease in
Mexico. These increases in selling, general and administrative
expenses were offset by a favorable currency impact of
$2.8 million and decreases of $4.3 million and
$4.2 million in labor and benefit costs and selling and
marketing costs, respectively.
Earnings
(loss) before interest and income taxes (EBIT)
Earnings before interest and income taxes increased by
$45.1 million, to earnings of $40.7 million in 2009
from a loss of $4.4 million in 2008. EBIT as a percentage
of net sales increased to 5.4 percent in 2009, compared to
(0.5) percent in 2008. The improved EBIT was mostly a result of
the improvement in income from operations (discussed above), and
an increase of $2.9 million in other income primarily
related to a favorable swing in foreign currency translation
gains versus the prior year.
Earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
(EBITDA)
EBITDA increased by $43.8 million, or 109.6 percent,
to $83.8 million in 2009 from $40.0 million in 2008.
As a percentage of net sales, EBITDA was 11.2 percent in
2009, compared to 4.9 percent in 2008. The key contributors
to the increase in EBITDA were those factors discussed above
under Earnings (loss) before interest and income taxes
(EBIT), however, it is not impacted by the benefit of a
$1.3 million decrease in depreciation and amortization
expense.
Adjusted
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
(Adjusted EBITDA)
Adjusted EBITDA increased by $4.9 million, or
5.8 percent, to $90.1 million in 2009 from
$85.2 million in 2008. As a percentage of net sales,
Adjusted EBITDA was 12.0 percent in 2009, compared to
10.5 percent in 2008. Excluding the impact of currency, the
key contributors in the increase in Adjusted EBIDTA were a
$23.6 million reduction in distribution costs, a
$12.1 million benefit from lower manufacturing costs offset
by reduced production activity and an increase of
$2.9 million in other income primarily related to a
favorable swing in foreign currency translation gains versus the
prior year. These improvements were offset by a
$20.4 million impact from unfavorable mix and lower level
of net sales, a $6.0 million increase in selling, general
and administrative expenses (see Income (loss) from operations
above for details) and $7.8 million of unfavorable impact
from currency movement.
Net
loss and diluted loss per share
We reported a net loss of $28.8 million, or loss of $1.90
per diluted share, in 2009, compared to a net loss of
$80.5 million, or loss of $5.48 per diluted share, in 2008.
The net loss as a percentage of net sales was 3.8 percent
in 2009, compared to 9.9 percent in 2008. The reduction in
net loss was driven primarily by the items discussed above under
Earnings (loss) before interest and income taxes
(EBIT), in addition to a $3.0 million decrease in
interest expense and a $3.6 million decrease in income tax
provision. Interest expense for 2009 included $2.7 million
of finance fees related to the October 2009 debt exchange
transaction. (See note 6 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements for a further discussion of this transaction).
Excluding these finance fees, interest expense declined by
$5.7 million during the year as the result of lower
variable rates and lower levels of debt carried in 2009. The
effective tax rate was a negative 10.6 percent for 2009,
compared to a negative 8.5 percent for 2008. The rate was
influenced by valuation allowances, changes in the mix of
earnings with differing statutory rates, changes in tax laws and
tax planning structures and changes in accruals related to
uncertain tax positions.
31
Discussion
of 2008 vs. 2007 Results of Operations
Net
Sales
In 2008, net sales decreased 0.5 percent, including a
favorable currency impact of 1.2 percent, to
$810.2 million from $814.2 million in 2007. The
decrease in net sales was primarily attributable to reduced
sales within the North American Glass and North American
Other segments. Within North American Glass, sales to
foodservice customers declined over 10.0 percent and net
sales of Crisa product in Mexican pesos experienced an
unfavorable currency impact of $2.1 million. Partially
offsetting the decline in net sales was an increase of more than
4.0 percent in sales to U.S. retail glassware
customers. Within North American Other, sales of Syracuse China
products declined 17.9 percent, sales of World Tableware
products declined 3.9 percent and Traex net sales were flat
compared to the prior year period. International net sales grew
12.3 percent on the strength of increased shipments of
Libbey China product of 171.3 percent, a 7.5 percent
increase in shipments of Crisal product, a modest increase in
shipments at Royal Leerdam and a favorable currency impact of
7.9 percent.
Gross
Profit
Gross profit declined in 2008 by $48.3 million, or
30.7 percent, compared to 2007. Gross profit as a
percentage of net sales decreased to 13.5 percent in 2008,
compared to 19.4 percent in 2007. Contributing to the
decrease in gross profit and gross profit margin were
$18.7 million of special charges (see note 7 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements). Of that amount,
$14.0 million of special charges related to the announced
closing of our Syracuse China manufacturing facility,
$0.2 million related to the announced closure of our Mira
Loma distribution center and $4.5 million related to fixed
asset impairment charges in our North American Glass segment. In
addition, 2008 gross profit includes $13.9 million for
higher natural gas and electricity costs, $4.9 million for
increased carton costs, $3.4 million of additional
depreciation and an unfavorable mix of net sales. Partially
offsetting these higher costs were lower distribution costs.
(Loss)
Income from operations
(Loss) income from operations was a loss of $(5.5) million
in 2008, compared to income from operations of
$66.1 million in 2007. Income from operations as a
percentage of net sales decreased to (0.7) percent in 2008,
compared to 8.1 percent in 2007. Contributing to the
decrease in income from operations and income from operations
margin are the lower gross profit and gross profit margin
(discussed above), the special charges related to the announced
closures of our Syracuse China manufacturing facility
($13.9 million) and our Mira Loma distribution center
($0.7 million) and the impairment charge on goodwill and
other intangibles within our International segment of
$11.9 million (see note 7 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements). Partially offsetting these were lower
selling, general and administrative expenses.
(Loss)
earnings before interest and income taxes (EBIT)
Earnings before interest and income taxes decreased by
$79.3 million, or 105.9 percent, from earnings of
$74.9 million in 2007 to a loss of $(4.4) million in
2008. EBIT as a percentage of net sales decreased to (0.5)
percent in 2008, compared to 9.2 percent in 2007. The
reduced EBIT was mostly a result of the reduction in income from
operations (discussed above), $5.5 million non-recurring
gain on the land sales at Royal Leerdam and Syracuse China in
2007, and higher prior-year foreign currency translation gains
of $1.3 million.
Earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
(EBITDA)
EBITDA decreased by $76.5 million, or 65.6 percent,
from $116.5 million in 2007 to $40.0 million in 2008.
As a percentage of net sales, EBITDA was 4.9 percent in
2008, compared to 14.3 percent in 2007. The key
contributors to the reduction in EBITDA were those factors
discussed above under (Loss) earnings before interest and
income taxes (EBIT). EBITDA did not have the impact of a
$2.9 million increase in depreciation and amortization to
$44.4 million which was primarily due to a full year of
depreciation related to our facility in China.
32
Adjusted
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
(Adjusted EBITDA)
Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $31.2 million, or
26.8 percent, to $85.2 million in 2008 from
$116.5 million in 2007. As a percentage of net sales,
Adjusted EBITDA was 10.5 percent in 2008, compared to
14.3 percent in 2007. The key contributors to the reduction
in Adjusted EBITDA were increases of $13.9 million and
$4.9 million in utility and carton costs, respectively, a
$5.5 million impact from a non-recurring gain on the land
sales at Royal Leerdam and Syracuse Chins recorded in 2007,
higher prior-year foreign currency translation gains of
$1.3 million and an unfavorable mix of net sales. Partially
offsetting these were lower distribution costs and selling,
general and administrative expenses.
Net
loss and diluted loss per share
We reported a net loss of $(80.5) million, or loss of
$(5.48) per diluted share, in 2008, compared to a net loss of
$(2.3) million, or loss of $(0.16) per diluted share, in
2007. The net loss as a percentage of net sales was (9.9)
percent, compared to (0.3) percent in 2007. The increase in net
loss was driven primarily by the items discussed above under
(Loss) earnings before interest and income taxes
(EBIT), in addition to a $3.8 million increase in
interest expense. These were partially offset by a
$5.0 million reduction in income tax provision. The
$3.8 million increase in interest expense is the result of
higher debt, partially offset by slightly lower variable
interest rates compared to 2007. Income tax provision decreased
$5.0 million, and the effective tax rate decreased from
125.7 percent in 2007 to a negative 8.5 percent in
2008. The change in the effective tax rate is primarily due to
the significant impact on our provision for income taxes caused
by the recognition of valuation allowances in the United States,
the Netherlands and Portugal. Changes in the mix of earnings in
countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in
accruals related to uncertain tax positions, tax planning
structures and changes in tax laws also impacted the effective
tax rate.

Discussion
of 2009 vs. 2008 Segment Results of Operations
North
American Glass
Net sales declined 5.7 percent to $522.6 million in
2009 from $554.1 million in 2008. Of the total reduction in
net sales, approximately 4.4 percent was attributable to
lower sales to Crisas customers and 3.6 percent was
attributable to lower shipments to U.S. and Canadian
foodservice glassware customers. The primary offset to these
declines was a 1.7 percent increase from the U.S. and
Canadian retail glassware channel. Of the 4.4 percent
34
reduction attributable to decreased sales of Crisa product,
2.6 percent was related to an unfavorable currency impact.
EBIT increased by $8.2 million to $33.7 million in
2009, compared to $25.5 million in 2008. EBIT as a
percentage of net sales increased to 6.5 percent in 2009,
compared to 4.6 percent in 2008. The key contributors to
the improvement in EBIT were an $11.2 million decline in
distribution costs, a $9.3 million reduction due to lower
manufacturing costs, primarily labor and benefits, natural gas,
electricity and cartons, offset by lower production activity, a
$5.3 million reduction in special charges related to a
fixed asset impairment charge and the announced closing of our
Mira Loma distribution center in 2008 which did not recur in
2009 (see note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements),
a $2.4 million increase in other income and a decrease of
$1.2 million in depreciation expense. The reduction in
distribution costs was the result of lower net sales and lower
inventory levels. The increase in other income was entirely
attributable to favorable foreign currency translation gains.
These improvements were partially offset by an
$11.0 million increase in selling, general &
administrative expenses, a $7.9 million impact from lower
sales volume and unfavorable sales mix and unfavorable currency
impact of $2.3 million. The increase in selling,
general & administrative expenses was attributable to
increased accruals for incentive compensation payments of
$13.2 million, a pension settlement charge of
$3.2 million arising from lump sum payments to retirees
during 2009 and a one-time 2008 accrual reversal of
$1.3 million related to favorable rulings in connection
with an outstanding dispute regarding a warehouse lease in
Mexico. These increases in selling, general and administrative
expenses were offset by decreases of $4.3 million and
$2.7 million in labor and benefit costs and selling and
marketing costs, respectively.
North
American Other
Net sales decreased 21.6 percent to $87.0 million in
2009 from $111.0 million in 2008. Of the total decline in
net sales, approximately 12.0 percent is related to the
closure of the Syracuse China facility in 2009 and the related
decision to reduce the Syracuse China product offering;
approximately 5.1 percent is attributed to a reduction in
shipments of World Tableware products; and approximately
4.7 percent is attributable to a reduction in shipments of
Traex products.
EBIT improved by $27.5 million to income of
$9.8 million in 2009, compared to a loss of
$(17.7) million in 2008. EBIT as a percentage of net sales
increased to 11.3 percent in 2009, compared to (15.9)
percent in 2008. The key contributors to the improvement in EBIT
were a $24.4 million reduction in special charges related
to the closing of our Syracuse China facility (see note 7
to the Consolidated Financial Statements), a $10.6 million
reduction in distribution costs, a $3.1 million reduction
in selling, general and administrative expenses, a
$1.1 million decline in depreciation expense, a
$0.5 million impact from lower manufacturing costs offset
by reduced production activity and a $0.2 million
improvement in other income. The reduction in distribution costs
was the result of lower net sales, lower inventory levels and
the discontinuation of shipping from the Syracuse China
facility. The reduction in selling, general and administrative
expense is primarily attributable to reduced selling &
marketing expenses. These improvements in EBIT were partially
offset by a $12.9 million impact from reduced sales volume.
International
In 2009, net sales decreased 5.5 percent to
$145.0 million from $153.5 million in 2008. The
largest factor in the decline in net sales was the unfavorable
currency impact from the euro, which caused 4.1 percent of
the decline. On a constant currency basis, the impact of reduced
shipments to Royal Leerdam customers was 1.5 percent, which
was offset by an increase in shipments to customers of our
facility in China of 1.6 percent, while shipments to Crisal
customers were essentially flat when compared to the prior year.
EBIT increased by $9.4 million to a loss of
$(2.9) million in 2009 from a loss of $(12.2) million
in 2008. EBIT as a percentage of net sales improved to (2.0)
percent in 2009, compared to (8.0) percent in 2008. The key
contributors to the improvement in EBIT were a reduction of
$11.9 million in special charges related to an impairment
charge against goodwill and other intangibles in 2008 which did
not recur in 2009 (see note 7 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements), a $2.3 million favorable impact from lower
manufacturing costs, primarily labor and benefits, natural gas,
electricity and cartons, offset by reduced production activity,
a reduction of $1.8 million in distribution costs, a
$0.4 million benefit from sales as improved product mix
overcame the reduction
35
in overall sales volume, and an increase of $0.1 million in
other income. Partially offsetting these improvements were an
unfavorable currency impact of $5.5 million, an increase of
$1.0 million in depreciation expense and a
$0.6 million increase in selling, general and
administrative expenses.
Discussion
of 2008 vs. 2007 Segment Results of Operations
North
American Glass
Net sales decreased 2.5 percent to $554.1 million in
2008 from $568.5 million in 2007. Of the total decline in
net sales, approximately 4.5 percent is attributable to
reduced shipments to foodservice and
business-to-business
glassware customers. Partially offsetting this decline are
increased shipments to U.S. and Canadian retail glassware
customers, representing 1.0 percent of the change, and
increased shipments of Crisa products to Crisa customers,
representing 0.8 percent of the change, offset by an
unfavorable currency impact of 0.3 percent.
EBIT decreased by $29.0 million to $25.5 million in
2008, compared to $54.5 million in 2007. EBIT as a
percentage of net sales decreased to 4.6 percent in 2008,
compared to 9.6 percent in 2007. The key contributors to
the reduction in EBIT were special charges recorded in 2008
related to the announced closing of the Mira Loma distribution
center of $0.9 million and fixed asset impairment charges
of $4.5 million (see note 7 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements); the impact of lower net sales and reduced
operating activity in North American Glass operations of
$16.6 million; higher natural gas and electricity charges
of $8.5 million; increased carton costs of
$1.5 million; and an approximately $2.3 million
decrease in non-operating income primarily related to foreign
currency translation losses and non-recurring gains on the
prior-year sale of environmental credits. Partially offsetting
the EBIT reduction is a decrease of $5.3 million in North
American Glass selling, general and administrative expense
primarily resulting from lower incentive-based compensation and
favorable rulings in connection with an outstanding dispute
regarding a warehouse lease in Mexico.
North
American Other
Net sales decreased 8.4 percent to $111.0 million in
2008 from $121.2 million in 2007. Of the total decline in
net sales, approximately 6.4 percent is attributed to a
reduction in shipments of Syracuse China products and
1.7 percent is attributed to a reduction in shipments of
World Tableware products. Shipments of Traex products were flat
in 2008 as compared to 2007.
EBIT declined by $33.4 million to a loss of
$(17.7) million in 2008, compared to income of
$15.7 million in 2007. EBIT as a percentage of net sales
decreased to (15.9) percent in 2008, compared to
12.9 percent in 2007. The key contributors to the reduction
in EBIT were lower net sales and operating activity at Syracuse
China of $4.4 million and special charges recorded related
to the announced closing of the Syracuse China manufacturing
facility in early April 2009 of $28.3 million (see
note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). A
non-recurring gain on the sale of excess land at Syracuse China
was recorded in 2007 in other income of $1.1 million.
Partially offsetting these were lower North American Other
selling, general and administrative expenses of
$0.4 million primarily resulting from lower incentive-based
compensation.
International
In 2008, net sales increased 12.3 percent to
$153.5 million from $136.7 million in 2007. Of the
total increase in net sales, approximately 8.8 percent is
attributed to an increase in shipments to Libbey China customers
and a favorable currency impact of 1.2 percent. On a
constant currency basis, shipments to Royal Leerdam and Crisal
customers declined by 4.2 percent, offset by a favorable
currency impact of 6.8 percent.
EBIT decreased by $16.9 million to a loss of
$(12.2) million in 2008, compared to income of
$4.7 million in 2007. EBIT as a percentage of net sales
decreased to (8.0) percent in 2008, compared to 3.4 percent
in 2007. The key contributors to the reduction in EBIT were the
goodwill and other intangibles impairment charge of
$11.9 million (see note 7 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements); increased natural gas and electricity
costs of approximately $5.7 million; increased carton costs
of $3.4 million; increased depreciation expense of
$2.8 million (a result of Libbey China having a full year
of production in 2008); and a $2.2 million increase in
selling, general and administrative expenses primarily related
to the increased net sales. A non-recurring gain on the sale of
excess land
36
at Royal Leerdam was recorded in 2007 in other income of
$4.3 million. Partially offsetting these costs was the
impact of higher net sales and operating activity of
$8.6 million at our Libbey China facility and
$3.9 million at our European facilities.
CAPITAL
RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
Historically, cash flows generated from operations and our
borrowing capacity under our ABL Facility have enabled us to
meet our cash requirements, including capital expenditures and
working capital requirements. As indicated in our MD&A
Discussion of 2009 vs. 2008 Cash flow, during 2009
we generated significant free cash flow from operations. As a
result, at December 31, 2009 we had no amounts outstanding
under our ABL Facility, although we had $9.9 million of
letters of credit issued under that facility. As a result, we
had $79.2 million of unused availability remaining under
the ABL Facility at December 31, 2009, as compared to
$44.6 million of unused availability at December 31,
2008. In addition, we had $55.1 million of cash on hand at
December 31, 2009, compared to $13.3 million of cash
on hand at December 31, 2008.
On February 8, 2010, we used the proceeds of a debt
offering of $400.0 million of senior secured notes due
2015, together with cash on hand, to redeem the
$80.4 million face amount of New PIK Notes that were
outstanding at that date and to repurchase the
$306.0 million of senior secured notes due 2011. We also
amended and restated our ABL Facility to, among other things,
extend the maturity to 2014 and reduce the amount that we can
borrow under that facility from $150.0 million to
$110.0 million. In addition, effective February 25,
2010, we extended the maturity of our RMB 50 million
working capital loan from March 2010 to January 2011. See
note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more
information regarding these subsequent events.
Based on our operating plans and current forecast expectations
(including expectations that the global economy will not
deteriorate further), we anticipate that our cash flows from
operations and our borrowing capacity under our amended and
restated ABL Facility will provide sufficient cash availability
to meet our ongoing liquidity needs.
Balance
Sheet and Cash flows
Cash and
Equivalents
At December 31, 2009, our cash balance was
$55.1 million, an increase of $41.8 million from
$13.3 million at December 31, 2008. The increase was
primarily due to an increase in our free cash flow offset by
payments to re-pay debt outstanding under our ABL facility.

DSO, DIO, DPO and DWC are all calculated using net sales as the
denominator and a
365-day
calendar year.
|
|
|
(1) |
|
Days sales outstanding (DSO) measures the number of days it
takes to turn receivables into cash. |

|
|
|
(2) |
|
Days inventory outstanding (DIO) measures the number of days it

Working capital is defined as net accounts receivable plus net
inventories less accounts payable. See Reconciliation of
Non-GAAP Financial Measures below for the calculation
of this non-GAAP financial measure and for further discussion as
to the reasons we believe this non-GAAP financial measure is
useful. |
|
(5) |
|
Days working capital (DWC) measures the number of days it takes
to turn our working capital into cash. |
Working capital, defined as net accounts receivable plus net
inventories less accounts payable, decreased by
$39.3 million in 2009, compared to 2008. As a percentage of
net sales, working capital decreased to 22.4 percent in
2009, compared to 25.5 percent in 2008. This decrease in
working capital is primarily the result of lower inventories,
which resulted from our continued focus on our cash management
efforts to increase cash flow through reductions in working
capital, and lower production activity. We also experienced a
working capital improvement from our management of accounts
payable. Partially offsetting these improvements was an increase
in accounts receivable. Our DSO also increased compared to
year-end 2008, as sales in the fourth quarter of 2009 were
heavily weighted towards the end of the quarter, driving up the
year-end receivables balance. During the fourth quarter of 2008,
sales declined throughout the quarter, so the majority of
collections for accounts receivable in the quarter had occurred
before the end of December.

Additional PIK notes were issued each June 1 and
December 1, commencing December 1, 2006, to pay the
semi-annual interest. During the first three years, ending
June 1, 2009, interest was payable by the issuance of
additional PIK notes. |

On October 28, 2009, we exchanged approximately
$160.9 million of Old PIK Notes for approximately
$80.4 million of New PIK Notes and additional common stock
and warrants to purchase common stock of Libbey Inc. Under U.S.
GAAP, we are required to record the New PIK Notes at their
carrying value of approximately $150.6 million instead of
their face value of $80.4 million. See note 6 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of accounting
treatment of the New PIK Notes. |

We extended the terms on our RMB working capital loan, effective
February 25, 2010. This loan was originally due in March,
2010. Under the new terms, the loan matures in January, 2011. |
|
(5) |
|
Total borrowings include notes payable, long-term debt due
within one year and long-term debt as stated in our Consolidated
Balance Sheets. |

See Contractual Obligations below for scheduled
payments by period. |

Interest due under the New PIK Notes accrues at zero percent
until the date (FRN Redemption Date) that is the first to occur
of (a) December 10, 2010 or (b) the date on which
the Senior Notes due 2011 are redeemed or paid in full. If the
New PIK Notes have not been repaid in full on or before the FRN
Redemption Date, interest under the New PIK Notes will
accrue at the rate of 16.0 percent per annum and be payable
semi-annually in cash or in additional New PIK Notes, at the
option of Libbey Glass. |
We had total borrowings of $446.8 million at
December 31, 2009, compared to total borrowings of
$554.9 million at December 31, 2008. The
$108.1 million decrease in borrowings was the result of the
repayment of borrowings under our ABL facility and the debt
exchange completed on October 28, 2009. Pursuant to the
debt exchange, Old PIK Notes having an outstanding principal
balance of approximately $160.9 million were exchanged for
New PIK Notes having a principal amount of $80.4 million,
together with common stock and warrants of Libbey Inc. Further
to this debt exchange, on February 8, 2010, we used the
proceeds of a $400.0 million debt offering and cash on hand
to redeem the New PIK Notes and repurchase the
$306.0 million Senior Notes. We also amended and restated
the credit agreement relating to our ABL facility. See
notes 6 and 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for
further details.
Of our total borrowings, $364.9 million, or approximately
81.7 percent, was subject to variable interest rates at
December 31, 2009. A change of one percentage point in such
rates would result in a change in interest expense of
approximately $3.6 million on an annual basis. On
February 8, 2010, certain portions of our borrowings were
replaced by fixed rate notes. After considering the effect of
this subsequent event as shown in the proforma debt table in
note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, we had
$58.9 million, or 12.8 percent, of debt subject to
variable interest rates. Based on the proforma debt in
note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, a change
in one percentage point in such rates would result in a change
in interest expense of approximately $0.6 million on an
annual basis. See note 20 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements for further discussion of this subsequent event.
Interest expense includes a $2.7 million charge in 2009 for
finance fees related to the debt exchange. Also included in
interest expense is the amortization of discounts, warrants and
other financing fees. Excluding the $2.7 million previously
mentioned for 2009, these items amounted to $4.9 million,
$5.0 million and $5.1 million for the annual periods
ended December 31, 2009, December 31, 2008 and
December 31, 2007, respectively.

We believe that free cash flow (which we define as net cash
provided by (used in) operating activities, less capital
expenditures, plus proceeds from asset sales and other) is a
useful metric for evaluating our financial performance, as it is
a measure we use internally to assess performance. See
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
below for a reconciliation of net cash provided by (used in)
operating activities to free cash flow and a further discussion
as to the reasons we believe this non-GAAP financial measure is
useful. |
Discussion
of 2009 vs. 2008 Cash Flow
Our net cash provided by operating activities was
$102.1 million in 2009, compared to net cash used in
operating activities of $1.1 million in 2008, or an
increase of $103.2 million. The increase is primarily
related to improvements in our results of operations, lower cash
interest, higher non-cash expenses, a positive cash flow impact
of $42.9 million from inventory and $23.4 million from
accounts payable, and a 2008 payment of $19.6 million to
Vitro related to the 2006 acquisition of Crisa which did not
recur in 2009, offset by a negative cash flow impact of
$22.9 million from accounts receivable when compared to
2008, and lower uses of cash for pension contributions. The cash
generated from these cash flow improvements was utilized to pay
down debt and increase our cash balance.
Net cash used in investing activities was $16.7 million in
2009, compared to $45.6 million in 2008, or a decrease of
$28.9 million. This change was completely attributable to a
reduction in capital spending.
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities was a use of
$(43.6) million in 2009, compared to a source of
$25.8 million in 2008, or a swing of $69.4 million.
During 2008, we utilized $28.7 million more of our capacity
on the ABL Facility to fund our operations, while we made
$34.2 million of repayments on that facility in 2009.
Free cash flow was $85.4 million in 2009, compared to
$(46.6) million in 2008, or an increase of
$132.0 million. The primary contributors to this increase
were the changes in net cash provided by (used in) operating
activities and the decrease in capital spending as discussed
above.
Discussion
of 2008 vs. 2007 Cash Flow
Our net cash used in operating activities was $1.0 million
in 2008, compared to net cash provided by operating activities
of $51.5 million in 2007, or a decrease of
$52.5 million. The decrease is primarily related to a
decrease in earnings, a $15.5 million impact due to higher
uses of cash for pension contributions, a $19.6 million
payment to Vitro in 2008 related to the 2006 acquisition of
Crisa and a negative cash flow impact of $25.2 million from
accounts payable. These items were offset by a positive cash
flow impact of $20.9 million from inventory and
$12.6 million from accounts receivable when compared to the
prior year.
Net cash used in investing activities was $45.6 million in
2008, compared to $34.9 million in 2007, or an increase of
$10.7 million. The primary contributors to this increase
were the non-recurring proceeds from asset sales
40
and other items of $8.2 million in 2007, primarily
attributable to the sale of excess land in Syracuse, New York
and the Netherlands.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $25.8 million
in 2008, compared to $22.4 million net cash used in
financing activities in 2007. The 2008 net cash provided by
financing activities resulted from the reduction in free cash
flow and the change in cash and cash equivalents discussed above.
Free cash flow was $(46.6) million in 2008, compared to
$16.5 million in 2007, a decrease of $63.2 million.
The primary contributors to this decrease are the result of the
changes in net cash provided by (used in) operating activities
and the non-recurring proceeds from asset sales and other items
of $8.2 million in 2007 as discussed above.
Derivatives
Until December 1, 2009, we had Interest Rate Protection
Agreements (Rate Agreements) with respect to $200 million
of debt as a means to manage our exposure to variable interest
rates. The Rate Agreements effectively converted this portion of
our long-term borrowings from variable rate debt to fixed-rate
debt, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on
future results. These agreements expired on December 1,
2009. The fair market value for the Rate Agreements at
December 31, 2008 was a $(6.8) million liability.
We also use commodity futures contracts related to forecasted
future natural gas requirements. The objective of these futures
contracts is to limit the fluctuations in prices paid from
adverse price movements in the underlying commodity. We consider
our forecasted natural gas requirements in determining the
quantity of natural gas to hedge. We combine the forecasts with
historical observations to establish the percentage of forecast
eligible to be hedged, typically ranging from 40 percent to
70 percent of our anticipated requirements, up to eighteen
months in the future. The fair values of these instruments are
determined from market quotes. At December 31, 2009, we had
commodity futures contracts for 3,610,000 million British
Thermal Units (BTUs) of natural gas. The fair market value
for these contracts at December 31, 2009 was a
$(5.4) million liability. We have hedged a portion of our
forecasted transactions through December 2011. At
December 31, 2008, we had commodity futures contracts for
5,280,000 million BTUs of natural gas. On that date,
the fair market value of these contracts was a
$(14.9) million liability. The counterparties for these
derivatives were rated BBB+ or better as of December 31,
2009, by Standard & Poors.
During December 2008, we announced the planned closure of the
Syracuse China facility in early April 2009 (see note 7 to
the Consolidated Financial Statements). At the time of the
announcement we held natural gas contracts for the Syracuse
China facility with a settlement date after March 2009 of
165,000 million British Thermal Units (BTUs). The
closure of this facility rendered the forecasted transactions
related to these contracts not probable of occurring. Under FASB
ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, (formerly FASB
Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instrument
and Hedging Activities), when the forecasted transactions of
a hedging relationship become not probable of occurring, the
gains or losses that have been classified in Other Comprehensive
Loss in prior periods for those contracts affected should be
reclassified into earnings. We recognized expense of
$0.2 million and $0.4 million for the year ended
December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, in other income
on the Consolidated Statement of Operations relating to these
contracts.
In January 2008, we entered into a series of foreign currency
contracts to sell Canadian dollars. As of December 31,
2008, all of these contracts had expired.
Share
Repurchase Program
Since mid-1998, we have repurchased 5,125,000 shares for
$141.1 million, as authorized by our Board of Directors. As
of December 31, 2009, authorization remains for the
purchase of an additional 1,000,000 shares. During 2009 and
2008, we did not repurchase any common stock. Our debt
agreements significantly restrict our ability to repurchase
additional shares.
We are using a portion of the repurchased common stock to fund
our Employee Stock Benefit Plans. See note 12 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

On February 8, 2010, we used the proceeds of a
$400.0 million debt offering to repurchase the Senior Notes
and redeem the New PIK Notes. We also amended and restated the
ABL Facility to, among other things, extend its maturity.
Subsequent to December 31, 2009, the terms of the RMB
working capital loan were extended. Under the new terms, the
loan matures in January, 2011. For further discussion of these
transactions, see note 20 to the Consolidated Financial

|
It is difficult to estimate future cash contributions as they
are a function of actual investment returns, withdrawals from
the plan, changes in interest rates, and other factors uncertain
at this time. |
In addition to the above, we have commercial commitments secured
by letters of credit and guarantees. Our letters of credit
outstanding at December 31, 2009, totaled $9.9 million.
The Company is unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate as
to when cash settlement with taxing authorities may occur for
our unrecognized tax benefits. Therefore, our liability for
unrecognized tax benefits is not included in the table above.
See note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for
additional information.
Reconciliation
of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We sometimes refer to data derived from consolidated financial
information but not required by GAAP to be presented in
financial statements. Certain of these data are considered
non-GAAP financial measures under Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) Regulation G. We believe that
non-GAAP data provide investors with a more complete
understanding of underlying results in our core business and
trends. In addition, we use non-GAAP data internally to assess
performance. Although we believe that the non-GAAP financial
measures presented enhance investors understanding of our
business and performance, these non-GAAP measures should not be
considered an alternative to GAAP.

We define EBIT as net income before interest expense and income
taxes. The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial
measure is net loss.
We believe that EBIT is an important supplemental measure for
investors in evaluating operating performance in that it
provides insight into company profitability. Libbeys
senior management uses this measure internally to measure
profitability. EBIT also allows for a measure of comparability
to other companies with different capital and legal structures,
which accordingly may be subject to different interest rates and
effective tax rates.
The non-GAAP measure of EBIT does have certain limitations. It
does not include interest expense, which is a necessary and
ongoing part of our cost structure resulting from debt incurred
to expand operations. Because this is a material and recurring
item, any measure that excludes it has a material limitation.
EBIT may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported
by other companies.
We define EBITDA as net income before interest expense, income
taxes, depreciation and amortization. The most directly
comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure is net loss.
We believe that EBITDA is an important supplemental measure for
investors in evaluating operating performance in that it
provides insight into company profitability and cash flow.
Libbeys senior management uses this measure internally to
measure profitability and to set performance targets for
managers. It also has been used regularly as one of the means of
publicly providing guidance on possible future results. EBITDA
also allows for a measure of comparability to other companies
with different capital and legal structures, which accordingly
may be subject to different interest rates and effective tax
rates, and to companies that may incur different depreciation
and amortization expenses or impairment charges.

The non-GAAP measure of EBITDA does have certain limitations. It
does not include interest expense, which is a necessary and
ongoing part of our cost structure resulting from debt incurred
to expand operations. EBITDA also excludes depreciation and
amortization expenses. Because these are material and recurring
items, any measure that excludes them has a material limitation.
EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures
reported by other companies.
We present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it assists
investors and analysts in comparing our performance across
reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that
we do not believe are indicative of our core operating
performance. In addition, we use Adjusted EBITDA internally to
measure profitability and to set performance targets for
managers.
Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool. Some of
these limitations are:
|
|
|
|
|
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future
requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
|
|
|
|
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash
requirements for, our working capital needs;
|
|
|
|
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest
expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest
or principal payments, on our debts;
|
|
|
|
although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the
assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be
replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any
cash requirements for such replacements;
|
|
|
|
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the impact of certain cash
charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative
of our ongoing operations; and
|
|
|
|
other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA
differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative
measure.
|
Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance
measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

We define free cash flow as net cash provided by (used in)
operating activities, less capital expenditures, adjusted for
proceeds from asset sales and other. The most directly
comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure is net cash provided
by (used in) operating activities.
We believe that free cash flow is important supplemental
information for investors in evaluating cash flow performance in
that it provides insight into the cash flow available to fund
such things as discretionary debt service, acquisitions and
other strategic investment opportunities. It is a measure of
performance we use to internally evaluate the overall
performance of the business.
Free cash flow is used in conjunction with and in addition to
results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Free cash
flow is neither intended to represent nor be an alternative to
the measure of net cash provided by (used in) operating
activities recorded under U.S. GAAP. Free cash flow may not
be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other
companies.

We define working capital as net accounts receivable plus net
inventories less accounts payable.
We believe that working capital is important supplemental
information for investors in evaluating liquidity in that it
provides insight into the availability of net current resources
to fund our ongoing operations. Working capital is a measure
used by management in internal evaluations of cash availability
and operational performance.
Working capital is used in conjunction with and in addition to
results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Working
capital is neither intended to represent nor be an alternative
to any measure of liquidity and operational performance recorded
under U.S. GAAP. Working capital may not be comparable to

CRITICAL
ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures
in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles requires us to make judgments, estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the Consolidated
Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Note 2 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements describes the significant
accounting policies and methods used in their preparation. The
areas described below are affected by critical accounting
estimates and are impacted significantly by judgments and
assumptions in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial
Statements. Actual results could differ materially from the
amounts reported based on these critical accounting estimates.
Revenue
Recognition
Revenue is recognized when products are shipped and title and
risk of loss have passed to the customer. Revenue is recorded
net of returns, discounts and sales incentive programs offered
to customers. We offer various incentive programs to a broad
base of customers, and we record accruals for these as sales
occur. These programs typically offer incentives for purchase
activities by customers that include growth objectives. Criteria
for payment include the achievement by customers of certain
purchase targets and the purchase by customers of particular
product types. Management regularly reviews the adequacy of the
accruals based on current customer purchases, targeted purchases
and payout levels.
Allowance
for Doubtful Accounts
Our accounts receivable balance, net of reserves, was
$82.4 million in 2009, compared to $76.1 million in
2008. The reserve balance was $7.5 million in 2009,
compared to $10.5 million in 2008. Approximately
$5.1 million of the reduction in the reserve is related to
the write-off of fully reserved accounts receivable. The
allowance for doubtful accounts is established through charges
to the provision for bad debts. We regularly evaluate the
adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts based on
historical trends in collections and write-offs, our judgment as
to the probability of collecting accounts and our evaluation of
business risk. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it
requires estimates that are susceptible to revision as more
information becomes available. Accounts are determined to be
uncollectible when the debt is deemed to be worthless or only
recoverable in part and are written off at that time through a
charge against the allowance.
Allowance
for Slow-Moving and Obsolete Inventory
We identify slow-moving or obsolete inventories and estimate
appropriate allowance provisions accordingly. We provide
inventory allowances based upon excess and obsolete inventories
driven primarily by future demand forecasts. At
December 31, 2009, our inventories were
$144.0 million, with loss provisions of $4.5 million,
compared to inventories of $185.2 million and loss
provisions of $6.6 million at December 31, 2008.
45
Asset
Impairment
Fixed
Assets
We assess our property, plant and equipment for possible
impairment in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 360, Property
Plant and Equipment, (FASB ASC 360) (formerly
SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets), whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets
may not be recoverable or a revision of remaining useful lives
is necessary. Such indicators may include economic and
competitive conditions, changes in our business plans or
managements intentions regarding future utilization of the
assets or changes in our commodity prices. An asset impairment
would be indicated if the sum of the expected future net pretax
cash flows from the use of an asset (undiscounted and without
interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the asset.
An impairment loss would be measured based on the difference
between the fair value of the asset and its carrying value. The
determination of fair value is based on an expected present
value technique in which multiple cash flow scenarios that
reflect a range of possible outcomes and a risk-free rate of
interest are used to estimate fair value or on a market
appraisal. Projections used in the fair value determination are
based on internal estimates for sales and production levels,
capital expenditures necessary to maintain the projected
production levels, and remaining useful life of the assets.
These projections are prepared at the lowest level at which we
have access to cash flow information and complete financial data
for our operations, which is generally at the plant level.
Determination as to whether and how much an asset is impaired
involves significant management judgment involving highly
uncertain matters, including estimating the future success of
product lines, future sales volumes, future selling prices and
costs, alternative uses for the assets, and estimated proceeds
from disposal of the assets. However, the impairment reviews and
calculations are based on estimates and assumptions that take
into account our business plans and long-term investment
decisions. There were no indicators of impairment noted in 2009
that required an impairment analysis to be performed for the
Companys property, plant and equipment. As announced
during 2008, our plans to cease production at our Syracuse China
facility represented an indicator for impairment for that
facility. Accordingly, our impairment analysis resulted in the
write-down of our carrying value for that facility to the
estimated fair value less cost to sell. We also reviewed other
asset groups within our operations for indicators of impairment,
and as a result recorded an impairment charge for certain fixed
assets during 2008 as disclosed in Notes 5 and 7.
In accordance with FASB ASC 360, the Company also performs an
impairment analysis for its definite useful lived intangible
assets when factors indicating impairment are present. There
were no indicators of impairment noted in 2009 that would
require an impairment analysis to be performed for the
Companys definite useful lived intangible assets.
Goodwill
and Indefinite Life Intangible Assets
Goodwill at December 31, 2009 was $168.3 million,
representing approximately 21.2 percent of total assets.
Goodwill represents the excess of cost over fair value of assets
acquired for each reporting unit. Our reporting units are one
level below the operating segment level, represent the lowest
level of the business for which financial statements are
prepared internally, and may represent a single facility
(operating component) or a group of plants under a common
management team. Goodwill impairment tests are completed for
each reporting unit as of October 1 of each year, or more
frequently in certain circumstances where impairment indicators
arise. When performing our test for impairment, we use the
discounted cash flow method, which incorporates the weighted
average cost of capital of a hypothetical third party buyer
(which we refer to as the discount rate) to compute
the debt free fair value of each reporting unit based on
projected cash flows from operations. These cash flow
projections are based in part on sales projections for the next
several years, capital spending trends and investment in working
capital to support anticipated sales growth, which are updated
at least annually and reviewed by management. The fair value is
then compared to the carrying value. To the extent that fair
value exceeds the carrying value, no impairment exists. However,
to the extent the carrying value exceeds fair value, we compare
the implied fair value of goodwill to its book value to
determine if an impairment charge should be recorded.
The discount rates used in present value calculations are
updated annually. We also use available market value information
to evaluate fair value. The total of the fair values of the
segments less debt was reconciled to end of year total market
capitalization. The discount rates used in the 2009 goodwill
impairment analysis ranged from
46
13.7 percent to 16.0 percent, as compared to a range
of 14.7 percent to 16.3 percent used in the 2008 test.
The decrease in the discount rate resulted from modest
improvements in the markets when compared to last years
credit crisis, which had significantly affected the financial
markets and economies in the countries in which we have
operations. The cash flow terminal growth rates used in the 2009
goodwill impairment analysis ranged from 1.0 percent to
4.0 percent as compared to a range of 2.0 percent to
4.0 percent used in the 2008 test. Management believes
these rates are reasonably conservative based upon historical
growth rates and its expectations of future economic conditions
in the markets in which we operate. Any changes in the discount
rate or cash flow terminal growth rate would move in tandem. For
example, the discount rate is lower in part due to decreased
uncertainty as to our ability to meet short term and long term
forecasts. As such, if we were to increase the cash flow
terminal growth rate, we would also increase the discount rate.
The discounted cash flow model used to determine fair value for
the goodwill analysis is most sensitive to the discount rate and
terminal cash flow assumptions. A sensitivity analysis was
performed on these factors for all reporting units and it was
determined, assuming all other assumptions remain constant, that
the discount rate used could be increased by a factor of
2.0 percent of the discount rate or the terminal cash flow
could decrease by 4.6 percent of the terminal cash flow and
all reporting units estimated fair values would still
exceed their carrying values. Significant changes in the
estimates and assumptions used in calculating the fair value of
the segments and the recoverability of goodwill or differences
between estimates and actual results could result in impairment
charges in the future.
As of October 1, 2009 and October 1, 2008, our review
did not indicate an impairment of goodwill. During the fourth
quarter of 2008, the global economic environment weakened,
causing an adverse effect on our business environment and our
related future cash flow projections. This was considered an
impairment indicator, which caused us to test for goodwill
impairment as of December 31, 2008. As a result of the
December 31, 2008 testing, we recorded a goodwill
impairment charge of $9.4 million in 2008 at our
International segment. This impairment is further disclosed in
notes 4 and 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Individual indefinite life intangible assets are also evaluated
for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently in certain
circumstances where impairment indicators arise. Total
indefinite life intangible assets at December 31, 2009 were
$13.1 million, representing 1.6 percent of total
assets. When performing our test for impairment, we use a
discounted cash flow method (based on a relief from royalty
calculation) to compute the fair value, which is then compared
to the carrying value of the indefinite life intangible asset.
To the extent that fair value exceeds the carrying value, no
impairment exists. This was done as of October 1st for
each year presented. As of October 1, 2009 and
October 1, 2008, our review did not indicate an impairment
of indefinite life intangible assets. During the fourth quarter
of 2008, the global economic environment weakened, causing an
adverse effect on our business environment. This was an
impairment trigger event, which caused us to test for impairment
on our indefinite life intangible assets as of December 31,
2008. As a result of the December 31, 2008 testing, we
recorded an indefinite life intangible asset impairment charge
of $2.5 million in 2008 at our International segment. The
announcement in December 2008 that we would be closing our
Syracuse China manufacturing facility in April 2009 was an
impairment trigger event for the Syracuse China reporting unit.
An impairment loss for intangible assets of $0.3 million
was recorded in 2008 for our Syracuse China facility. These
impairments are further disclosed in notes 4 and 7 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements.
Self-Insurance
Reserves
We use self-insurance mechanisms to provide for potential
liabilities related to workers compensation and employee
health care benefits that are not covered by third-party
insurance. Workers compensation accruals are recorded at
the estimated ultimate payout amounts based on individual case
estimates. In addition, we record estimates of
incurred-but-not-reported losses based on actuarial models.
Although we believe that the estimated liabilities for
self-insurance are adequate, the estimates described above may
not be indicative of current and future losses. In addition, the
actuarial calculations used to estimate self-insurance
liabilities are based on numerous assumptions, some of which are
subjective. We will continue to adjust our estimated liabilities
for self-insurance, as deemed necessary, in the event that
future loss experience differs from historical loss patterns.

Two critical assumptions, discount rate and expected long-term
rate of return on plan assets, are important elements of plan
expense and asset/liability measurement. We evaluate these
critical assumptions on our annual measurement date of
December 31. Other assumptions involving demographic
factors such as retirement age, mortality and turnover are
evaluated periodically and are updated to reflect our
experience. Actual results in any given year often will differ
from actuarial assumptions because of demographic, economic and
other factors.
The discount rate enables us to estimate the present value of
expected future cash flows on the measurement date. The rate
used reflects a rate of return on high-quality fixed income
investments that match the duration of expected benefit payments
at our December 31 measurement date. The discount rate at
December 31 is used to measure the year-end benefit obligations
and the earnings effects for the subsequent year. A lower
discount rate increases the present value of benefit obligations
and increases pension expense.
To determine the expected long-term rate of return on plan
assets, we consider the current and expected asset allocations,
as well as historical and expected returns on various categories
of plan assets. The expected long-term rate of return on plan
assets at December 31 is used to measure the earnings effects
for the subsequent year.
Sensitivity to changes in key assumptions based on year-end data
is as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
A change of 1.0 percent in the discount rate would change
our total pension expense by approximately $3.2 million.
|
|
|
|
A change of 1.0 percent in the expected long-term rate of
return on plan assets would change total pension expense by
approximately $2.4 million.

Nonpension
Postretirement Assumptions
We use various actuarial assumptions, including the discount
rate and the expected trend in health care costs, to estimate
the costs and benefit obligations for our retiree welfare plan.
The discount rate is determined based on high-quality fixed
income investments that match the duration of expected retiree
medical benefits at our December 31 measurement date. The
discount rate at December 31 is used to measure the year-end
benefit obligations and the earnings effects for the subsequent
year. The discount rate used to determine the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation was:

Income
Taxes
The company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. and
various foreign jurisdictions. Management judgment is required
in evaluating our tax positions and determining our provision
for income taxes. Throughout the course of business, there are
numerous transactions and calculations for which the ultimate
tax determination is uncertain. When management believes certain
tax positions may be challenged despite our belief that the tax
return positions are supportable, the company establishes
reserves for tax uncertainties based on estimates of whether
additional taxes will be due. We adjust these reserves taking
into consideration changing facts and circumstances, such as an
outcome of a tax audit. The income tax provision includes the
impact of reserve provisions and changes to reserves that are
considered appropriate. Accruals for tax contingencies are
provided for in accordance with the requirements of Financial
Accounting Standards Boards Accounting Standards
Codification (FASB ASC) Topic 740 Income Taxes
(FASB ASC 740), formerly FIN 48.
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability
method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for estimated future tax consequences attributable to
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of
existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases
and tax attribute carry-forwards. Deferred income tax assets and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for
the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be
recovered or settled. FASB ASC 740 Income Taxes,
requires that a valuation allowance be recorded when it is more
likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income
tax assets will not be realized. Deferred income tax assets and
liabilities are determined separately for each tax jurisdiction
in which we conduct our operations or otherwise incur taxable
income or losses. In the United States and China, we have
recorded a full valuation allowance against our deferred income
tax assets. In addition, partial valuation allowances have been
recorded in the Netherlands, Portugal and Mexico.
Derivatives
and Hedging
We use derivatives to manage a variety of risks, including risks
related to interest rates and commodity prices. Accounting for
derivatives as hedges requires that, at inception and over the
term of the arrangement, the hedged item and related derivative
meet the requirements for hedge accounting. The rules and
interpretations related to derivatives accounting are complex.
Failure to apply this complex guidance will result in all
changes in the fair value of the derivative being reported in
earnings, without regard to the offsetting in the fair value of
the hedged item. The accompanying financial statements reflect
consequences of loss hedge accounting for certain positions.
In evaluating whether a particular relationship qualifies for
hedge accounting, we first determine whether the relationship
meets the strict criteria to qualify for exemption from ongoing
effectiveness testing. For a relationship that does not meet
these criteria, we test effectiveness at inception and quarterly
thereafter by determining whether
49
changes in the fair value of the derivative offset, within a
specified range, change the fair value of the hedged item. If
the fair value changes fail this test, we discontinue applying
hedge accounting to that relationship prospectively. See
note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Stock-Based
Compensation Expense
We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB
ASC 718, Compensation Stock Compensation
and FASB ASC
505-50,
Equity Equity Based Payments to
Non-Employees (formerly
SFAS No. 123-R,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation), which
requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense
for all share-based payment awards made to our employees and
directors. Stock-based compensation expense recognized under
FASB ASC 718 and FASB ASC
050-50 for
fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $2.4 million,
$3.5 million and $3.4 million, respectively.
Upon adoption of FASB ASC 718, we began estimating the value of
employee share-based compensation on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes model. The determination of fair value of
share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an
option-pricing model is affected by our stock price as well as
assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective
variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, the
expected stock price volatility over the term of the award, and
actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors.
The use of the Black-Scholes model requires extensive actual
employee exercise behavior data and a number of complex
assumptions including expected volatility, risk-free interest
rate, and expected dividends. See note 12 of the
Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
New
Accounting Standards
On July 1, 2009 the FASB Accounting Standards
Codificationtm
(FASB ASC) became the single source of authoritative
U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by
nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial
statements in conformity with GAAP. The Codification is not
intended to change U.S. GAAP; instead, it reorganized the
various U.S. GAAP pronouncements into approximately 90
accounting Topics, and displays all Topics using a consistent
structure. The Codification is effective for financial
statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after
September 15, 2009. Accordingly, in our discussion of New
Accounting Standards below, we have incorporated references to
the Codification Topics. For further discussion of the
Codification, see the discussion of SFAS No. 168 below.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,
Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157).
SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value, and expands disclosure about fair value
measurements. This statement clarifies how to measure fair value
as permitted under other accounting pronouncements but does not
require any new fair value measurements. In February 2008, the
FASB issued FASB Staff Position
157-2,
Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157,
(FSP157-2) which delays until January 1, 2009
the effective date of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and
liabilities, except for those that are recognized or disclosed
at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis.
In October 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position
157-3,
Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset when the
Market for That Asset is Not Active
(FSP 157-3),
which clarifies the application of SFAS 157 as it relates
to the valuation of financial assets in a market that is not
active for those financial assets.
FSP 157-3
was effective upon issuance. We adopted SFAS 157 as of
January 1, 2008, but had not applied it to non-recurring,
nonfinancial assets and liabilities. The adoption of
SFAS 157 and its related FSPs
(FSP 157-2
and
FSP 157-3)
had no impact on our consolidated results of operations and
financial condition. We adopted SFAS 157 for nonfinancial
assets and liabilities as of January 1, 2009. The adoption
of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities did not
have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
See notes 6, 13, and 15 of the Consolidated Financial
Statements for additional information. The requirements of
SFAS No. 157 and its related FSPs have been
incorporated primarily into FASB ASC 820, Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,
Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial
Statements (SFAS 160), which changes the
accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling
interests in a subsidiary in consolidated financial statements.
SFAS 160 recharacterizes minority interests as
noncontrolling interests and requires noncontrolling interests
to be classified as a component of shareholders equity. We
adopted
50
SFAS 160 as of January 1, 2009. The adoption of
SFAS 160 did not have any impact on our Consolidated
Financial Statements as we currently do not have any
noncontrolling interests. The requirements of SFAS 160 have
been incorporated primarily into FASB ASC 810,
Consolidation.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161,
Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133
(SFAS 161), which requires additional
disclosures about the objectives of the derivative instruments
and hedging activities, the method of accounting for such
instruments under SFAS No. 133 and its related
interpretations, and a tabular disclosure of the effects of such
instruments and related hedged items on our financial position,
financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS encourages, but does
not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at
initial adoption. SFAS 161 was effective for Libbey on
January 1, 2009. Since SFAS 161 only requires
additional disclosures, adoption of this statement did not have
a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. See
note 13 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for
additional information. The requirements of
SFAS No. 161 have been incorporated primarily into
FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging.
In April 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position
No. FAS 142-3,
Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible
Assets
(FSP 142-3),
which amends the factors that should be considered in developing
renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful
life of a recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement
No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.
FSP 142-3
was effective for Libbey on January 1, 2009. The adoption
of
FSP 142-3
did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial
Statements. The requirements of
FSP 142-3
have been incorporated primarily into FASB ASC
350-30,
Intangibles Goodwill and Other
General Intangibles Other than Goodwill.
In June 2008, the FASB ratified EITF Issue
No. 07-5,
Determining Whether an Instrument (or an Embedded Feature)
Is Indexed to an Entitys Own Stock
(EITF 07-5).
EITF 07-5
provides that an entity should use a two-step approach to
evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or
embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including
evaluating the instruments contingent exercise and
settlement provisions. It also clarifies the impact of foreign
currency denominated strike prices and market-based employee
stock option valuation instruments on the evaluation.
EITF 07-5
was effective for Libbey on January 1, 2009. The adoption
of
EITF 07-5
did not have any impact on our Consolidated Financial
Statements. The requirements of
EITF 07-5
have been incorporated primarily into FASB ASC
815-40,
Derivatives and Hedging Contracts in
Entitys Own Equity.
In June 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position
No. EITF 03-6-1,
Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based
Payment Transactions are Participating Securities
(FSP 03-6-1).
FSP 03-6-1
addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment
transactions are participating securities prior to vesting and,
therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation in
computing earnings per share (EPS) under the two-class method
described in paragraphs 60 and 61 of
SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share.
FSP 03-6-1
was effective for Libbey on January 1, 2009, and requires
that all prior period EPS data is adjusted retrospectively. The
adoption of
FSP 03-6-1
did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial
Statements. The requirements of
FSP 03-6-1
have been incorporated primarily into FASB ASC 260,
Earnings Per Share.
In December 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position 132(R)-1,
Employers Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit
Plan Assets (FSP 132(R)-1).
FSP 132(R)-1 amends FASB Statement No. 132 (revised
2003), Employers Disclosures about Pensions and
Other Postretirement Benefits, to provide guidance on an
employers disclosures about plan assets of a defined
benefit pension or other postretirement plan. FSP 132(R)-1
is effective for Libbey for the year ended December 31,
2009. The provisions of FSP 132(R)-1, required increased
disclosures in the financial statements related to the assets of
our pension and other postretirement benefit plans. See
notes 9 and 10 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for
additional information. The requirements of FSP 132(R)-1
have been incorporated primarily into FASB ASC
715-20,
Compensation Retirement Benefits.
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165,
Subsequent Events (SFAS 165).
SFAS 165 establishes general standards of accounting for
and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date
but before financial statements are issued or are available to
be issued. SFAS 165 was effective for interim or annual
financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. In accordance
with SFAS 165, we have evaluated and, as necessary, made
changes to these Consolidated Financial Statements for the
events. As documented in our filing on
Form 8-K
on February 8, 2010, we announced the issuance of
$400 million of senior secured notes in a private
placement, and the
51
related repurchase and redemption of certain notes in our debt
portfolio. This is considered a nonrecognized subsequent event,
meaning that we have provided disclosure of the event, but have
not recognized the transaction in the financial statements.
Please see notes 6 and 20 of the Consolidated Financial
Statements for further discussion of this subsequent event. The
requirements of SFAS 165 have been incorporated primarily
into FASB ASC 855, Subsequent Events. In February,
2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update
2010-09
Subsequent Events which removed the requirement to
disclose the date through which subsequent events had been
considered for disclosure. This update was effective upon
issuance.
In June 2009 the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The
FASB Accounting Standards
Codificationtm
and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles a replacement of FASB Statement
No. 162 (SFAS 168). The objective of
SFAS 168 is to replace SFAS No. 162 The
Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(SFAS 162) and to establish the FASB Accounting
Standards
Codificationtm
(Codification) as the source of authoritative accounting
principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by
nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial
statements in conformity with GAAP. Rules and interpretive
releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under
authority of federal securities laws are also sources of
authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. All previous existing
accounting standards are superseded by the Codification as
described in SFAS 168. All other accounting literature not
included in the Codification is non-authoritative. SFAS 168
was effective for Libbey in the third quarter of 2009. The
adoption of SFAS 168 did not have a material impact on our
Consolidated Financial Statements. The first update of the
Codification was Accounting Standards Update (ASU)
2009-01,
issued in June, 2009. ASU
2009-01
amended the Codification to include the guidance of
SFAS 168 in its entirety.
In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update
2009-5
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820):
Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value (ASU
2009-5.)
The objective of ASU
2009-5 is to
provide clarification for the determination of fair value of
liabilities in circumstances in which a quoted price in an
active market for the identical liability is not available. The
amendments in this update apply to all entities that measure
liabilities at fair value within the scope of Topic 820. ASU
2009-5 was
effective for the first reporting period (including interim
periods) beginning after issuance, which for Libbey was the
fourth quarter of 2009. The adoption of ASU
2009-5 did
not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial
Statements.
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update
2010-06
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820):
Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements
(ASU
2010-06).
ASU 2010-06
requires new disclosures regarding the amounts transferring
between the various Levels within the fair value hierarchy, and
increased disclosures regarding the activities impacting the
balance of items classified in Level 3 of the fair value
hierarchy. In addition, ASU
2010-06
clarifies increases in existing disclosure requirements for
classes of assets and liabilities carried at fair value, and
regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to arrive at
the fair value measurements for items classified as Level 2
or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The new disclosure
requirements of ASU
2010-06 are
effective for Libbey in the first quarter of 2010, except for
certain disclosures regarding the activities within Level 3
fair value measurements, which are effective for Libbey in the
first quarter of 2011. As this Standards Update only requires
additional disclosures, we do not expect the adoption of ASU
2010-06 to
have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

ITEM 7A.
|
QUALITATIVE
AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
|
Currency
We are exposed to market risks due to changes in currency
values, although the majority of our revenues and expenses are
denominated in the U.S. dollar. The currency market risks
include devaluations and other major currency fluctuations
relative to the U.S. dollar, euro, RMB or Mexican peso that
could reduce the cost competitiveness of our products compared
to foreign competition.
Interest
Rates
We are exposed to market risk associated with changes in
interest rates on our debt and have traditionally entered into
Interest Rate Protection Agreements (Rate Agreements) with
respect to $200.0 million of debt as a means to manage our
exposure to fluctuating interest rates. The Rate Agreements
effectively converted this portion
52
of our long-term borrowings from variable rate debt to
fixed-rate debt, thus reducing the impact of interest rate
changes on future income. These Rate Agreements expired on
December 1, 2009. We had $364.9 million of debt
subject to variable interest rates at December 31, 2009. A
change of one percentage point in such rates would result in a
change in interest expense of approximately $3.6 million on
an annual basis. On February 8, 2010, certain portions of
our borrowings were replaced by fixed rate notes. After
considering the effect of this subsequent event, we had
$58.9 million of debt subject to variable interest rates. A
change of one percentage point in such rates would result in a
change in interest expense of approximately $0.6 million on
an annual basis. See note 20 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements for a further discussion of this subsequent event.
Natural
Gas
We are also exposed to market risks associated with changes in
the price of natural gas due to either general market forces, or
in the case of our operations in China, by government mandate.
We use commodity futures contracts related to forecasted future
natural gas requirements of our manufacturing operations. The
objective of these futures contracts is to limit the
fluctuations in prices paid in the underlying natural gas
commodity. We consider the forecasted natural gas requirements
of our manufacturing operations in determining the quantity of
natural gas to hedge. We combine the forecasts with historical
observations to establish the percentage of forecast eligible to
be hedged, typically ranging from 40 percent to
70 percent of our anticipated requirements, up to eighteen
months in the future. For our natural gas requirements that are
not hedged, we are subject to changes in the price of natural
gas, which affect our earnings and cash flows. If the
counterparties to these futures contracts were to fail to
perform, we would no longer be protected from natural gas
fluctuations by the futures contracts. However, we do not
anticipate nonperformance by these counterparties. All
counterparties were rated BBB+ or better as of December 2009 by
Standard and Poors.
Retirement
Plans
We are exposed to market risks associated with changes in the
various capital markets. Changes in long-term interest rates
affect the discount rate that is used to measure our benefit
obligations and related expense. Changes in the equity and debt
securities markets affect the performance of our pension
plans asset and related pension expense and cash funding
requirements. Sensitivity to these key market risk factors is as
follows:
|
|
|
|
|
A change of 1.0 percent in the discount rate would change
our total pension and nonpension postretirement expense by
approximately $3.6 million.
|
|
|
|
A change of 1.0 percent in the expected long-term rate of
return on plan assets would change total pension expense by
approximately $2.4 million.

Report of
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Libbey Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Libbey Inc. as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the
related consolidated statements of operations,
shareholders deficit, and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 2009. Our audits
also included the financial statement schedule listed in the
Index at Item 15. These financial statements and schedule
are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated
financial position of Libbey Inc. at December 31, 2009 and
2008, and the consolidated results of its operations and its
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2009, in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the
related financial statement schedule, when considered in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole,
presents fairly in all material respects the information set
forth therein.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States),
Libbey Inc.s internal control over financial reporting as
of December 31, 2009, based on criteria established in
Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our
report dated March 15, 2010 expressed an unqualified
opinion thereon.

Report of
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Libbey Inc.
We have audited Libbey Inc.s internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2009 based on
criteria established in Internal Control Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of
the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Libbey Inc.s
management is responsible for maintaining effective internal
control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the
effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting
included in the accompanying Report of Management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on the companys
internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control
over financial reporting was maintained in all material
respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of
internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk
that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the
design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on
the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we
considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A companys internal control over financial reporting is a
process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. A companys
internal control over financial reporting includes those
policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance
of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly
reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions
are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company
are being made only in accordance with authorizations of
management and directors of the company; and (3) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the
companys assets that could have a material effect on the
financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over
financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future
periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree
of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, Libbey Inc. maintained, in all material
respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as
of December 31, 2009, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the
consolidated balance sheets of Libbey Inc. as of
December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated
results of operations, shareholders deficit, and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2009 and our report dated March 15, 2010
expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Description
of the Business
|
Libbey is the leading producer of glass tableware products in
the Western Hemisphere, in addition to supplying to key markets
throughout the world. We produce glass tableware in five
countries and sell to customers in over 100 countries. We have
the largest manufacturing, distribution and service network
among glass tableware manufacturers in the Western Hemisphere
and are one of the largest glass tableware manufacturers in the
world. We design and market an extensive line of high-quality
glass tableware, ceramic dinnerware, metal flatware, hollowware
and serveware, and plastic items to a broad group of customers
in the foodservice, retail and
business-to-business
markets. We own and operate two glass tableware manufacturing
plants in the United States as well as glass tableware
manufacturing plants in the Netherlands, Portugal, China and
Mexico. We also own and operate a plastics plant in Wisconsin.
Prior to April 2009, we owned and operated a ceramic dinnerware
plant in New York (see note 7 on closure effective April,
2009). In addition, we import products from overseas in order to
complement our line of manufactured items. The combination of
manufacturing and procurement allows us to compete in the global
tableware market by offering an extensive product line at
competitive prices.

Significant
Accounting Policies
|
Basis of Presentation The Consolidated
Financial Statements include Libbey Inc. and its majority-owned
subsidiaries (collectively, Libbey or the Company). Our fiscal
year end is December 31st. All material intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The preparation
of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity
with United States generally accepted accounting principles
(U.S. GAAP) requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated
Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Actual results
could differ materially from managements estimates.
Consolidated Statements of
Operations Net sales in our Consolidated
Statements of Operations include revenue earned when products
are shipped and title and risk of loss have passed to the
customer. Revenue is recorded net of returns, discounts and
incentives offered to customers. Cost of sales includes costs to
manufacture
and/or
purchase products, warehouse, shipping and delivery costs,
royalty expense and other costs.
Revenue Recognition Revenue is
recognized when products are shipped and title and risk of loss
have passed to the customer. Revenue is recorded net of returns,
discounts and incentives offered to customers. We estimate
returns, discounts and incentives at the time of sale based on
the terms of the agreements, historical experience and
forecasted sales. We continually evaluate the adequacy of these
methods used to estimate returns, discounts and incentives.
Cash and cash equivalents The Company
considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an
original or remaining maturity of less than three months at the
date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash
equivalents are maintained with various financial institutions.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful
Accounts We record trade receivables when
revenue is recorded in accordance with our revenue recognition
policy and relieve accounts receivable when payments are
received from customers. The allowance for doubtful accounts is
established through charges to the provision for bad debts. We
regularly evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful
accounts based on historical trends in collections and
write-offs, our judgment as to the probability of collecting
accounts and our evaluation of business risk. This evaluation is
inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are
susceptible to revision as more information becomes available.
Accounts are determined to be uncollectible when the debt is
deemed to be worthless or only recoverable in part and are
written off at that time through a charge against the allowance.
Inventory Valuation Inventories are
valued at the lower of cost or market. The
last-in,
first-out (LIFO) method was used for our domestic glass
inventories, which represented 35.5 percent and
33.3 percent of our total inventories in 2009 and 2008,
respectively. The remaining inventories are valued using either
the
first-in,
first-out (FIFO) or average cost method. For those inventories
valued on the LIFO method, the excess of FIFO cost over LIFO,
was $16.5 million and $18.3 million for 2009 and 2008,
respectively.

Purchased Intangible Assets and
Goodwill FASB ASC Topic 350
Intangibles-Goodwill and other (FASB ASC
350) (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets (SFAS No. 142)), requires
goodwill and purchased indefinite life intangible assets to be
reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently if
impairment indicators arise. Intangible assets with lives
restricted by contractual, legal or other means will continue to
be amortized over their useful lives. As of
October 1st of each year, we update our separate
impairment evaluations for both goodwill and indefinite life
intangible assets. In 2009 and 2008, our
October 1st assessment did not indicate any impairment
of goodwill or indefinite life intangibles. There were also no
indicators of impairment at December 31, 2009. However, in
the fourth quarter of 2008, we identified certain indicators of
impairment and we updated our review as of December 31,
2008. Our December 31, 2008 assessment resulted in an
impairment of goodwill and purchased intangible assets of
$11.9 million in our International segment and
$0.3 million related to our Syracuse China subsidiary. For
further disclosure on goodwill and intangibles, see note 4.
Software We account for software in
accordance with FASB ASC 350, (formerly Statement of Position
(SOP) 98-1,
Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or
Obtained for Internal Use). Software represents the costs
of internally developed and purchased software packages for
internal use. Capitalized costs include software packages,
installation
and/or
internal labor costs. These costs generally are amortized over a
five-year period.
Property, Plant and Equipment Property,
plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally
3 to 14 years for equipment and furnishings and 10 to
40 years for buildings and improvements. Maintenance and
repairs are expensed as incurred.
Long-lived assets to be held and used are reviewed for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable.
Measurement of an impairment loss for long-lived assets that we
expect to hold and use is based on the fair value of the asset.
Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of
carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Due to the
announcement of our closure of our Syracuse China manufacturing
facility and our Mira Loma distribution center, we wrote down
the values of certain assets to fair value in 2008. See
note 7 for further disclosure.
Self-Insurance Reserves Self-Insurance
reserves reflect the estimated liability for group health and
workers compensation claims not covered by third-party
insurance. We accrue estimated losses based on actuarial models
and assumptions as well as our historical loss experience.
Workers compensation accruals are recorded at the
estimated ultimate payout amounts based on individual case
estimates. In addition, we record estimates of
incurred-but-not-reported losses based on actuarial models.
Pension and Nonpension Postretirement
Benefits We account for pension and
nonpension postretirement benefits in accordance with FASB ASC
Topic 758 Compensation-Retirement Plans
(FASB ASC 758) (formerly SFAS No. 158,
Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other
Postretirement Plans an amendment of FASB Statements
No. 87, 88, 106 and 132 R (effective December 31,
2006)). FASB ASC 758 requires recognition of the over-funded or
under-funded status of pension and other postretirement benefit
plans on the balance sheet. Under FASB ASC 758, gains and
losses, prior service costs and credits and any remaining prior
transaction amounts that have not yet been recognized through
net periodic benefit cost are recognized in accumulated other
comprehensive income, net of tax effect where appropriate.
The U.S. pension plans cover most hourly
U.S.-based
employees (excluding new hires at Shreveport after
2008) and those salaried
U.S.-based
employees hired before January 1, 2006. The
non-U.S. pension
plans cover the employees of our wholly-owned subsidiaries Royal
Leerdam, located in the Netherlands, and Crisa, located in
Mexico, and our Canadian employees. For further discussion see
note 9.
We also provide certain postretirement health care and life
insurance benefits covering substantially all U.S. and
Canadian salaried and non-union hourly employees hired before
January 1, 2004 and a majority of our
62
LIBBEY
INC.
Notes to
Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
union hourly employees. Employees are generally eligible for
benefits upon reaching a certain age and completion of a
specified number of years of creditable service. Benefits for
most hourly retirees are determined by collective bargaining.
Under a cross-indemnity agreement, Owens-Illinois, Inc. assumed
liability for the nonpension postretirement benefit of our
retirees who had retired as of June 24, 1993. Therefore,
the benefits related to these retirees are not included in our
liability. For further discussion see note 10.
Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted
for under the asset and liability method. Deferred income tax
assets and liabilities are recognized for estimated future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities
and their respective tax bases and tax attribute carry-forwards.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using
enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those
temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (FASB ASC
740) (formerly FAS No. 109, Accounting for
Income Taxes), requires that a valuation allowance be
recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion or
all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined
separately for each tax jurisdiction in which we conduct our
operations or otherwise incur taxable income or losses. In the
United States and China, we have recorded a full valuation
allowance against our deferred income tax assets. In addition,
partial valuation allowances have been recorded in the
Netherlands, Portugal and Mexico.
Derivatives We account for derivatives
in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815 Derivatives and
Hedging (FASB ASC 815) (formerly
SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended by
SFAS Nos. 137 and 138). We hold derivative financial
instruments to hedge certain of our interest rate risks
associated with long-term debt, commodity price risks associated
with forecasted future natural gas requirements and foreign
exchange rate risks associated with occasional transactions
denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar. These
derivatives (except for the foreign currency contracts and some
natural gas contracts at Syracuse China) qualify for hedge
accounting since the hedges are highly effective, and we have
designated and documented contemporaneously the hedging
relationships involving these derivative instruments. While we
intend to continue to meet the conditions for hedge accounting,
if hedges do not qualify as highly effective or if we do not
believe that forecasted transactions would occur, the changes in
the fair value of the derivatives used as hedges would be
reflected in earnings. See additional discussion at note 13.
Foreign Currency Translation Assets and
liabilities of
non-U.S. subsidiaries
that operate in a local currency environment, where that local
currency is the functional currency, are translated to
U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at the balance
sheet date, with the resulting translation adjustments directly
recorded to a separate component of accumulated other
comprehensive income. Income and expense accounts are translated
at average exchange rates during the year. The effect of
exchange rate changes on transactions denominated in currencies
other than the functional currency is recorded in other income.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense We
account for stock-based compensation expense in accordance with
FASB ASC Topic 718 Compensation-Stock Compensation
(FASB ASC 718) and FASB ASC Topic
505-50
Equity based payment to non-employees (FASB
ASC
505-50)
(formerly SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004),
Share-Based Payment
(SFAS No. 123-R)),
which requires share-based compensation transactions to be
accounted for using a fair-value-based method and the resulting
cost recognized in our financial statements. Share-based
compensation cost is measured based on the fair value of the
equity instruments issued. FASB ASC 718 and FASB ASC
505-50 apply
to all of our outstanding unvested share-based payment awards.
The impact of applying the provisions of FASBASC 718 and FASB
ASC 505-50
was a pre-tax charge of $2.4 million, $3.5 million and
$3.4 million, respectively for 2009, 2008 and 2007. See
note 12 for additional information.
Research and Development Research and
development costs are charged to selling, general and
administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of
Operations when incurred. Expenses for 2009, 2008 and 2007,
respectively, were $2.0 million, $1.7 million and
$1.5 million.

Advertising Costs We expense all
advertising costs as incurred, and the amounts were immaterial
for all periods presented.
Computation of Income Per Share of Common
Stock Basic net income per share of common
stock is computed using the weighted average number of shares of
common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income
per share of common stock is computed using the weighted average
number of shares of common stock outstanding and dilutive
potential common share equivalents during the period.
Treasury Stock Treasury stock purchases
are recorded at cost. During 2009, 2008 and 2007, we did not
purchase any treasury stock. During 2009, 2008, and 2007, we
issued 1,367,717, 165,588 and 225,101 shares from treasury
stock at an average cost of $26.40, $26.39, and $28.68
respectively. The increase in issued shares from treasury stock
in 2009 was for common stock given to the PIK Notes holder in
the October 2009 debt exchange. See note 6.
Reclassifications Certain amounts in
prior years financial statements have been reclassified to
conform to the presentation used in the year ended
December 31, 2009.
New Accounting Standards
On July 1, 2009 the FASB Accounting Standards
Codificationtm
(FASB ASC) became the single source of authoritative
U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by
nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial
statements in conformity with GAAP. The Codification is not
intended to change U.S. GAAP; instead, it reorganized the
various U.S. GAAP pronouncements into approximately 90
accounting Topics, and displays all Topics using a consistent
structure. The Codification is effective for financial
statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after
September 15, 2009. Accordingly, in our discussion of New
Accounting Standards below, we have incorporated references to
the Codification Topics. For further discussion of the
Codification, see the discussion of SFAS No. 168 below.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,
Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157).
SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value, and expands disclosure about fair value
measurements. This statement clarifies how to measure fair value
as permitted under other accounting pronouncements but does not
require any new fair value measurements. In February 2008, the
FASB issued FASB Staff Position
157-2,
Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157,
(FSP157-2) which delayed until January 1, 2009
the effective date of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and
liabilities, except for those that are recognized or disclosed
at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis.
In October 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position
157-3,
Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset when the
Market for That Asset is Not Active
(FSP 157-3),
which clarifies the application of SFAS 157 as it relates
to the valuation of financial assets in a market that is not
active for those financial assets.
FSP 157-3
was effective upon issuance. We adopted SFAS 157 as of
January 1, 2008, but had not applied it to non-recurring,
nonfinancial assets and liabilities. The adoption of
SFAS 157 and its related FSPs
(FSP 157-2
and
FSP 157-3)
had no impact on our consolidated results of operations and
financial condition. We adopted SFAS 157 for nonfinancial
assets and liabilities as of January 1, 2009. The adoption
of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities did not
have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
See notes 6, 13, and 15 of the Consolidated Financial
Statements for additional information. The requirements of
SFAS No. 157 and its related FSPs have been
incorporated primarily into FASB ASC 820, Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,
Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial
Statements (SFAS 160), which changes the
accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling
interests in a subsidiary in consolidated financial statements.
SFAS 160 recharacterizes minority interests as
noncontrolling interests and requires noncontrolling interests
to be classified as a component of shareholders equity. We
adopted SFAS 160 as of January 1, 2009. The adoption
of SFAS 160 did not have any impact on our Consolidated
Financial Statements as we currently do not have any
noncontrolling interests. The requirements of SFAS 160 have
been incorporated primarily into FASB ASC 810,
Consolidation.

Notes to
Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161,
Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133
( SFAS 161), which requires additional
disclosures about the objectives of the derivative instruments
and hedging activities, the method of accounting for such
instruments under SFAS No. 133 and its related
interpretations, and a tabular disclosure of the effects of such
instruments and related hedged items on our financial position,
financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS encourages, but does
not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at
initial adoption. SFAS 161 was effective for Libbey on
January 1, 2009. Since SFAS 161 only requires
additional disclosures, adoption of this statement did not have
a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. See
note 13 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for
additional information. The requirements of
SFAS No. 161 have been incorporated primarily into
FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging.
In April 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position
No. FAS 142-3,
Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible
Assets
(FSP 142-3),
which amends the factors that should be considered in developing
renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful
life of a recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement
No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.
FSP 142-3
was effective for Libbey on January 1, 2009. The adoption
of
FSP 142-3
did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial
Statements. The requirements of
FSP 142-3
have been incorporated primarily into FASB ASC
350-30,
Intangibles Goodwill and Other
General Intangibles Other than Goodwill.
In June 2008, the FASB ratified EITF Issue
No. 07-5,
Determining Whether an Instrument (or an Embedded Feature)
Is Indexed to an Entitys Own Stock
(EITF 07-5).
EITF 07-5
provides that an entity should use a two-step approach to
evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or
embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including
evaluating the instruments contingent exercise and
settlement provisions. It also clarifies the impact of foreign
currency denominated strike prices and market-based employee
stock option valuation instruments on the evaluation.
EITF 07-5
was effective for Libbey on January 1, 2009. The adoption
of
EITF 07-5
did not have any impact on our Consolidated Financial
Statements. The requirements of
EITF 07-5
have been incorporated primarily into FASB ASC
815-40,
Derivatives and Hedging Contracts in
Entitys Own Equity.
In June 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position
No. EITF 03-6-1,
Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based
Payment Transactions are Participating Securities
(FSP 03-6-1).
FSP 03-6-1
addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment
transactions are participating securities prior to vesting and,
therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation in
computing earnings per share (EPS) under the two-class method
described in paragraphs 60 and 61 of
SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share.
FSP 03-6-1
was effective for Libbey on January 1, 2009, and requires
that all prior period EPS data is adjusted retrospectively. The
adoption of
FSP 03-6-1
did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial
Statements. The requirements of
FSP 03-6-1
have been incorporated primarily into FASB ASC 260,
Earnings Per Share.
In December 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position 132(R)-1,
Employers Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit
Plan Assets (FSP 132(R)-1).
FSP 132(R)-1 amends FASB Statement No. 132 (revised
2003), Employers Disclosures about Pensions and
Other Postretirement Benefits, to provide guidance on an
employers disclosures about plan assets of a defined
benefit pension or other postretirement plan. FSP 132(R)-1
is effective for Libbey for the year ended December 31,
2009. The provisions of FSP 132(R)-1, required increased
disclosures in the financial statements related to the assets of
our pension and other postretirement benefit plans. See
notes 9 and 10 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for
additional information. The requirements of FSP 132(R)-1
have been incorporated primarily into FASB ASC
715-20,
Compensation Retirement Benefits.
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165,
Subsequent Events (SFAS 165).
SFAS 165 establishes general standards of accounting for
and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date
but before financial statements are issued or are available to
be issued. SFAS 165 was effective for interim or annual
financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. In accordance
with SFAS 165, we have evaluated and, as necessary, made
changes to these Consolidated Financial Statements for the
events. As documented in our filing on
Form 8-K
on February 8, 2010, we announced the issuance of
$400 million of senior secured notes in a private
placement, and the
65
LIBBEY
INC.
Notes to
Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
related repurchase and redemption of certain notes in our debt
portfolio. This is considered a nonrecognized subsequent event,
meaning that we have provided disclosure of the event, but have
not recognized the transaction in the financial statements.
Please see notes 6 and 20 of the Consolidated Financial
Statements for further discussion of this subsequent event. The
requirements of SFAS 165 have been incorporated primarily
into FASB ASC 855, Subsequent Events. In February,
2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update
2010-09
Subsequent Events which removed the requirement to
disclose the date through which subsequent events had been
considered for disclosure. This update was effective upon
issuance.
In June 2009 the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The
FASB Accounting Standards
Codificationtm
and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles a replacement of FASB Statement
No. 162 (SFAS 168). The objective of
SFAS 168 is to replace SFAS No. 162 The
Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(SFAS 162) and to establish the FASB Accounting
Standards
Codificationtm
(Codification) as the source of authoritative accounting
principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by
nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial
statements in conformity with GAAP. Rules and interpretive
releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under
authority of federal securities laws are also sources of
authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. All previous existing
accounting standards are superseded by the Codification as
described in SFAS 168. All other accounting literature not
included in the Codification is non-authoritative. SFAS 168
was effective for Libbey in the third quarter of 2009. The
adoption of SFAS 168 did not have a material impact on our
Consolidated Financial Statements. The first update of the
Codification was Accounting Standards Update (ASU)
2009-01,
issued in June, 2009. ASU
2009-01
amended the Codification to include the guidance of
SFAS 168 in its entirety.
In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update
2009-5
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820):
Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value (ASU
2009-5.)
The objective of ASU
2009-5 is to
provide clarification for the determination of fair value of
liabilities in circumstances in which a quoted price in an
active market for the identical liability is not available. The
amendments in this update apply to all entities that measure
liabilities at fair value within the scope of Topic 820. The
adoption of ASU
2009-5 did
not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial
Statements.
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update
2010-06
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820):
Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements
(ASU
2010-06).
ASU 2010-06
requires new disclosures regarding the amounts transferring
between the various Levels within the fair value hierarchy, and
increased disclosures regarding the activities impacting the
balance of items classified in Level 3 of the fair value
hierarchy. In addition, ASU
2010-06
clarifies increases in existing disclosure requirements for
classes of assets and liabilities carried at fair value, and
regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to arrive at
the fair value measurements for items classified as Level 2
or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The new disclosure
requirements of ASU
2010-06 are
effective for Libbey in the first quarter of 2010, except for
certain disclosures regarding the activities within Level 3
fair value measurements, which are effective for Libbey in the
first quarter of 2011. As this Standards Update only requires
additional disclosures, we do not expect the adoption of ASU
2010-06 to
have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Amortization expense for definite life intangible assets was
$1.4 million, $1.3 million and $1.7 million for
years 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Indefinite life intangible assets are composed of trade names
and trademarks that have an indefinite life and are therefore
individually tested for impairment on an annual basis, or more
frequently in certain circumstances where impairment indicators
arise, in accordance with FASB ASC 350 (formerly
SFAS No. 142). Our measurement date for impairment
testing is October 1st of each year. When performing
our test for impairment of individual indefinite life intangible
assets, we use a relief from royalty method to determine the
fair market value that is compared to the carrying value of the
indefinite life intangible asset. The inputs used for this
analysis would be considered as Level 3 inputs in the fair
value hierarchy. See note 15 for further discussion of the
fair value hierarchy. Our October 1st review for 2009
and 2008 did not indicate impairment of our indefinite life
intangible assets. There were also no indicators of impairment
at December 31, 2009. As of December 31, 2008, we
performed another impairment test as the severe global economic
downturn during the final quarter of 2008 represented a
significant adverse condition in our business environment, which
was an indicator of impairment. As a result of this analysis, we
concluded that intangibles of $2.5 million associated with
our International segment were impaired. We also announced in
December, 2008 that our Syracuse China manufacturing facility
would be shut down by early April, 2009. This was an indicator
of impairment for the Syracuse China reporting unit (part of our
North American Other segment), and, based on our analysis, we
concluded that intangibles of $0.3 million were impaired.
These impairment charges for 2008 were included in Special
charges on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
The definite life intangible assets primarily consist of
technical assistance agreements, noncompete agreements, customer
relationships and patents. The definite life assets are
generally amortized over a period ranging from 3 to
20 years. The weighted average remaining life on the
definite life intangible assets is 8.8 years at
December 31, 2009.
Future estimated amortization expense of definite life
intangible assets is as follows:

Other, in the table above, relates to income tax adjustments
affecting the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities
assumed related to the Crisa acquisition.
Goodwill impairment tests are completed for each reporting unit
on an annual basis, or more frequently in certain circumstances
where impairment indicators arise. The inputs used for this
analysis would be considered as Level 3 inputs in the fair
value hierarchy. See note 15 for further discussion of the
fair value hierarchy. When performing our test for impairment,
we use the market approach, which includes a discounted cash
flow analysis, incorporating the weighted average cost of
capital of a hypothetical third party buyer to compute the fair
value of each reporting unit. The fair value is then compared to
the carrying value. To the extent that fair value exceeds the
carrying value, no impairment exists. However, to the extent the
carrying value exceeds the fair value, we compare the implied
fair value of goodwill to its book value to determine if an
impairment should be recorded. Our annual review was performed
as of October 1st for each year presented, and our
review for 2009 and 2008 did not indicate an impairment of
goodwill. There were also no indicators of impairment at
December 31, 2009. However, the severe global economic
downturn during the later part of the fourth quarter of 2008
represented a significant adverse change in our business
environment, which was considered an indicator of impairment. An
updated goodwill impairment analysis was performed as of
December 31, 2008. As a result of this analysis, goodwill
impairment of $9.4 million was recorded in 2008 in our
International operations, and was included in Impairment of
goodwill on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. This has
been our only goodwill impairment in the International segment.
We have recorded no accumulated goodwill impairment in our North
American Glass segment since this companys inception in
1993. The total accumulated goodwill impairment in our North
American Other segment is $5.4 million, related to the
impairment of goodwill at Syracuse China in 2005.

Notes to

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less
accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
assets, generally 3 to 14 years for equipment and 10 to
40 years for buildings and improvements. Software consists
of internally developed and purchased software packages for
internal use. Capitalized costs include software packages,
installation,
and/or
certain internal labor costs. These costs are generally
amortized over a five-year period. Depreciation expense was
$41.7 million, $42.9 million and $39.9 million
for the years 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively.
During 2008, we recorded $9.7 million of reductions in the
carrying value of our long-lived assets in accordance with FASB
ASC 360 (formerly SFAS No. 144). This charge was
included in special charges on the Consolidated Statement of
Operations. Under FASB ASC 360, long-lived assets are tested for
recoverability if certain events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying value of the long-lived assets may
not be recoverable. The announcement of the closure of the
Syracuse China reporting unit indicated that the carrying value
of our long-lived assets may not be recoverable and we performed
an impairment review. We then recorded impairment charges for
property, plant and equipment to the extent the amounts by which
the carrying amounts of these assets exceeded their fair values.
Fair value was determined by appraisals. See note 7 for
further discussion of these and other special charges.
In addition, in 2008 we wrote off certain fixed assets within
our North American Glass reporting segment that had become idled
and were no longer being used in our production process. A
non-cash charge of $4.5 million was recorded in Cost of
sales on the Consolidated Statements of Operation in 2008. See
note 7 for further discussion of these special charges.
On June 16, 2006, Libbey Glass Inc. issued
$306.0 million aggregate principal amount of floating rate
senior secured notes (Senior Notes) due June 1, 2011, and
$102.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior
subordinated secured
pay-in-kind
notes (Old PIK Notes), due December 1, 2011. Concurrently,
Libbey Glass Inc. entered into a new $150 million Asset
Based Loan facility (ABL Facility) expiring December 16,
2010. There have been significant changes to each of these debt
instruments recently. On October 28, 2009, we exchanged our
Old PIK Notes for senior subordinated secured notes (New PIK
Notes) and additional common stock and warrants to purchase
common stock of Libbey Inc. For further details of this
transaction, please see the detailed discussion of the PIK Notes
below. During February, 2010, in conjunction with a
$400.0 million debt offering, we repurchased the Senior
Notes, redeemed the remaining PIK Notes and amended and restated
the ABL Facility. For further discussion of these transactions,
see note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

ABL
Facility
The ABL Facility is with a group of six banks and provides for a
revolving credit and swing line facility permitting borrowings
for Libbey Glass and Libbey Europe up to an aggregate of
$150.0 million, with Libbey Europes borrowings being
limited to $75.0 million. Borrowings under the ABL Facility
mature December 16, 2010. Swing line borrowings are limited
to $15.0 million, with swing line borrowings for Libbey
Europe being limited to 7.5 million. Loans comprising
each CBFR (CB Floating Rate) Borrowing, including each Swingline
Loan, bear interest at the CB Floating Rate plus the Applicable
Rate, and euro-denominated swing line borrowings (Eurocurrency
Loans) bear interest calculated at the Netherlands swing line
rate, as defined in the ABL Facility. The Applicable Rates for
CBFR Loans and Eurocurrency Loans vary depending on our
aggregate remaining availability. The Applicable Rates for CBFR
Loans and Eurocurrency Loans were 0.0 percent and
1.75 percent, respectively, at December 31, 2009.
There were no Libbey Glass or Libbey Europe borrowings under the
facility at December 31, 2009. There were no Libbey Glass
borrowings under the facility at December 31, 2008, while
Libbey Europe had outstanding borrowings of $34.5 million
at December 31, 2008. The interest rate was
5.02 percent at December 31, 2008. Interest is payable
on the last day of the interest period, which can range from one
month to six months.
All borrowings under the ABL Facility are secured by a first
priority security interest in (i) substantially all assets
of (a) Libbey Glass and (b) substantially all of
Libbey Glasss present and future direct and indirect
domestic subsidiaries, (ii) (a) 100 percent of the
stock of Libbey Glass, (b) 100 percent of the stock of
substantially all of Libbey Glasss present and future
direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries,
(c) 100 percent of the non-voting stock of
substantially all of Libbey Glasss first-tier present and
future foreign subsidiaries and (d) 65 percent of the
voting stock of substantially all of Libbey Glasss
first-tier present and future foreign subsidiaries, and
(iii) substantially all proceeds and products of the
property and assets described in clauses (i) and
(ii) of this sentence. Additionally, borrowings by Libbey
Europe under the ABL Facility are secured by a first priority
security interest in (i) substantially all of the assets of
Libbey Europe, the parent of Libbey Europe and certain of its
subsidiaries, (ii) 100 percent of the stock of Libbey
Europe and certain subsidiaries of Libbey Europe, and
(iii) substantially all proceeds and products of the
property and assets described in clauses (i) and
(ii) of this sentence. Libbey pays a Commitment Fee, as
defined by the ABL Facility, on the total credit provided under
the Facility. The Commitment Fee varies depending on our
aggregate availability. The Commitment Fee was 0.25 percent
at December 31, 2009. No compensating balances are required
by the Agreement. The Agreement does not require compliance with
a fixed charge coverage ratio covenant, unless aggregate unused
availability falls below $15.0 million. If our aggregate
unused ABL availability falls below $15.0 million, the
fixed charge coverage ratio requirement would be 1:10 to 1:00.
The fixed charge coverage ratio is defined as earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and minority
interest (EBITDA) minus capital expenditures to fixed charges
(EBITDA minus capital expenditures / fixed charges).
Among the items included in the calculation of fixed charges
are: cash interest expense, scheduled principal payments on
outstanding debt and capital lease obligations, taxes paid in
cash, dividends paid in cash and required cash contributions to
our pension plans in excess of expense.
The borrowing base under the ABL Facility is determined by a
monthly analysis of the eligible accounts receivable, inventory
and fixed assets. The borrowing base is the sum of
(a) 85 percent of eligible accounts receivable,
(b) the lesser of (i) 85 percent of the net
orderly liquidation value (NOLV) of eligible inventory,
(ii) 65 percent of eligible inventory, or
(iii) $75.0 million and (c) the lesser of
$25.0 million and the aggregate of (i) 75 percent
of the NOLV of eligible equipment and (ii) 50 percent
of the fair market value of eligible real property.
The available total borrowing base is offset by real estate and
ERISA reserves totaling $8.2 million and
mark-to-market
reserves for natural gas of $3.9 million. The ABL Facility
also provides for the issuance of
72

Statements (Continued)
$30.0 million of letters of credit, which are applied
against the $150.0 million limit. At December 31,
2009, we had $9.9 million in letters of credit outstanding
under the ABL Facility. Remaining unused availability on the ABL
Facility was $79.2 million at December 31, 2009 and
$44.6 million at December 31, 2008.
We amended and restated this ABL Facility in February 2010. See
note 20 for a further discussion of this subsequent event.
Senior
Notes
In 2006, Libbey Glass and Libbey Inc. entered into a purchase
agreement pursuant to which Libbey Glass agreed to sell
$306.0 million aggregate principal amount of floating rate
senior secured notes due 2011 to the initial purchasers named in
a private placement. The net proceeds, after deducting a
discount and the estimated expenses and fees, were approximately
$289.8 million. On February 15, 2007, we exchanged
$306.0 million aggregate principal amount of our floating
rate senior secured notes due 2011, which were registered under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (Senior Notes), for the
notes sold in the private placement. The Senior Notes bear
interest at a rate equal to six-month LIBOR plus
7.0 percent and were offered at a discount of
2 percent of face value. Interest with respect to the
Senior Notes is payable semiannually on June 1 and
December 1. The stated interest rate was 7.48 percent
at December 31, 2009. Neither the Senior Notes nor the
indenture governing them contain financial covenants.
The interest rate protection agreements previously entered into
with respect to $200.0 million of debt have all matured as
of December 1, 2009.
The Senior Notes are guaranteed by Libbey Inc. and all of Libbey
Glasss existing and future domestic subsidiaries that
guarantee any of Libbey Glasss debt or debt of any
subsidiary guarantor (see Note 19). The Senior Notes and
related guarantees have the benefit of a second-priority lien,
subject to permitted liens, on collateral consisting of
substantially all the tangible and intangible assets of Libbey
Glass and its domestic subsidiary guarantors that secure all of
the indebtedness under Libbey Glasss ABL Facility. The
Collateral does not include the assets of non-guarantor
subsidiaries that secure the ABL Facility.
The Senior Notes were repurchased in February 2010, in
conjunction with a $400.0 million debt offering. See
note 20 for a further discussion of this subsequent event.
PIK
Notes
Concurrently with the execution of the purchase agreement with
respect to the Senior Notes, Libbey Glass and Libbey Inc.
entered into a purchase agreement (Unit Purchase Agreement)
pursuant to which Libbey Glass agreed to sell, to a purchaser
named in the private placement, units consisting of
$102.0 million aggregate principal amount 16.0 percent
senior subordinated secured
pay-in-kind
notes due 2011 (Old PIK Notes) and detachable warrants to
purchase 485,309 shares of Libbey Inc. common stock
(Warrants) exercisable on or after June 16, 2006 and
expiring on December 1, 2011. The warrant holders do not
have voting rights. The net proceeds, after deducting a discount
and estimated expenses and fees, were approximately
$97.0 million. The proceeds were allocated between the
Warrants and the underlying debt based on their respective fair
values at the time of issuance. The amount allocated to the
Warrants has been recorded in capital in excess of par value,
with the offset recorded as a discount on the underlying debt.
Each Warrant is exercisable at $11.25. The Old PIK Notes were
offered at a discount of 2 percent of face value. Interest
is payable semiannually on June 1 and December 1, but
during the first three years interest is payable by issuance of
additional Old PIK Notes. Under the original terms and
conditions, interest on the Old PIK Notes would have been
payable in cash beginning on December 1, 2009. However,
these terms and conditions were modified as part of the PIK Note
exchange transaction which occurred in October, 2009, described
in further detail below. Neither the Old PIK Notes nor the
indenture governing them contain financial covenants.
The obligations of Libbey Glass under the Old PIK Notes are
guaranteed by Libbey Inc. and all of Libbey Glasss
existing and future domestic subsidiaries that guarantee any of
Libbey Glasss debt or debt of any subsidiary
73

guarantor (see note 19). The Old PIK Notes and related
guarantees are senior subordinated obligations of Libbey Glass
and the guarantors of the Old PIK Notes and are entitled to the
benefit of a third-priority lien, subject to permitted liens, on
the collateral that secures the Senior Notes.
On October 28, 2009, we entered into a transaction with
Merrill Lynch PCG, Inc. (the Investor) to exchange
the existing 16.0 percent Old PIK Notes due in December
2011, for a combination of debt and equity securities (Exchange
Transaction). Pursuant to the Exchange Transaction, Old PIK
Notes having an outstanding principal balance of approximately
$160.9 million have been exchanged for new Senior
Subordinated Secured Notes due in June 2021 (New PIK Notes)
having a principal amount of approximately $80.4 million,
together with common stock and warrants in Libbey Inc. Interest
due under the New PIK Notes accrues at zero percent until the
date (FRN Redemption Date) that is the first to occur of
(a) December 10, 2010 or (b) the date on which
the Senior Notes due 2011 are redeemed or paid in full. If the
New PIK Notes have not been repaid in full on or before the FRN
Redemption Date, interest under the New PIK Notes will
accrue at the rate of 16.0 percent per annum and be payable
semi-annually in cash or in additional New PIK Notes, at the
option of Libbey Glass.
The New PIK Notes mature on the earlier to occur of
(a) June 1, 2021 or (b) the date that is
180 days after the maturity date of any part of any debt
that refinances the Senior Notes. In no event, however, will the
New PIK Notes mature prior to September 1, 2011. The New
PIK Notes are subordinated to the Senior Notes and secured by a
third-priority lien on collateral in the same manner as the Old
PIK Notes and contain covenants that are substantially similar
to the Old PIK Notes. Neither the New PIK Notes nor the
indenture governing them contain financial covenants.
We also issued to the Investor 933,145 shares of Libbey
Inc. common stock and warrants (Series I Warrants)
conveying the right to purchase, for $0.01 per share, an
additional 3,466,856 shares of the Companys common
stock. The amount allocated to the Series I Warrants has
been recorded in capital in excess of par value, with the offset
recorded against the carrying value of the New PIK Notes.
Collectively this represents approximately 22.5 percent of
the Companys common stock outstanding following the
Exchange Transaction.
We will issue additional warrants to the Investor if:
|
|
|
|
|
The New PIK Notes remain outstanding on the FRN
Redemption Date, in which case we will issue to the
Investor warrants (Series II Warrants) conveying the right
to purchase, for $0.01 per share, an additional 10 percent
of the Companys common stock then outstanding (on a fully
diluted basis, subject to certain exceptions).
|
|
|
|
The New PIK Notes remain outstanding on the 180th day, 210th day
and/or 240th
day after the date of issuance of the Series II Warrant
(Series II Date), in which case we will issue to the
Investor on the 180th, 210th
and/or 240th
day after the Series II Date, as applicable, additional
warrants (Series III Warrants) conveying the right to
purchase, for $0.01 per share, an additional 3.33 percent
of the Companys common stock outstanding (on a fully
diluted basis, subject to certain exception) on the
Series II Date.
|
The percentage of the Companys outstanding common stock
that is represented by the Series II and Series III
Warrants issuable to the Investor will be reduced on a pro rata
basis to the extent the principal balance of the New PIK Notes
has been reduced as of the date of issuance of the warrants. All
warrants issued to the Investor will expire ten years from the
date of issuance. Issuance to the Investor of the Series II
Warrants and Series III Warrants will be deferred if and to
the extent that issuance of the Series II Warrants or
Series III Warrants would cause the Investors
beneficial ownership of the Companys common stock to
exceed 29.5 percent of the Companys then outstanding
common stock (Cap). The Investor would be required to sell down
its common stock in order to receive the remaining portion of
the warrants. The Investor is prohibited from attaining
beneficial ownership of the Companys common stock in
excess of the Cap. These provisions are designed so that in no
event will the Investors ownership of common stock or
warrants trigger a change of control under Libbeys
existing debt and management change in control agreements. As of
December 31, 2009 no Series II or Series III
Warrants were issued and no accounting treatment was required.

Management evaluated the application of FASB ASC
470-50,
Modifications and Extinguishments and FASB ASC
470-60,
Troubled Debt Restructuring by Debtors and concluded
that the Exchange Transaction constituted a troubled debt
restructuring, rather than a debt modification or
extinguishment. Under FASB ASC
470-60, the
carrying value of the New PIK Note is $150.6 million which
is comprised of the $80.4 million principal amount and an
excess carrying amount of $70.2 million. $2.7 million
of costs associated with the Exchange Transaction have been
expensed in interest expense on the Consolidated Statements of
Operations. The remainder of the costs associated with the
Exchange Transaction of $1.8 million are related to the
equity issued and have been recorded in capital in excess of par
value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and also as shown in
the Consolidated Statement of Shareholders Deficit.
On February 8, 2010, in conjunction with a
$400.0 million debt offering we redeemed the New PIK Notes.
We will recognize a gain of approximately $70.2 million on
the difference between the carrying value and the face value in
the first quarter of 2010. See note 20 for further details.
Promissory
Note
In September 2001, we issued a $2.7 million promissory note
in connection with the purchase of our Laredo, Texas warehouse
facility. At December 31, 2009, and December 31, 2008,
we had $1.5 million and $1.7 million, respectively,
outstanding on the promissory note. Interest with respect to the
promissory note is paid monthly.
Notes
Payable
We have an overdraft line of credit for a maximum of
1.1 million. The $0.7 million outstanding at
December 31, 2009, was the U.S. dollar equivalent
under the euro-based overdraft line and the interest rate was
5.80 percent. Interest with respect to the note payable is
paid monthly.
RMB
Loan Contract
On January 23, 2006, Libbey Glassware (China) Co., Ltd.
(Libbey China), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Libbey
Inc., entered into an RMB Loan Contract (RMB Loan Contract) with
China Construction Bank Corporation Langfang Economic
Development Area
Sub-Branch
(CCB). Pursuant to the RMB Loan Contract, CCB agreed to lend to
Libbey China RMB 250.0 million, or the equivalent of
approximately $36.7 million, for the construction of our
production facility in China and the purchase of related
equipment, materials and services. The loan has a term of eight
years and bears interest at a variable rate as announced by the
Peoples Bank of China. As of the date of the initial
advance under the Loan Contract, the annual interest rate was
5.51 percent, and as of December 31, 2009, the annual
interest rate was 5.35 percent. As of December 31,
2009, the outstanding balance was RMB 250.0 million
(approximately $36.7 million). Interest is payable
quarterly. Payments of principal in the amount of RMB
30.0 million (approximately $4.4 million) and RMB
40.0 million (approximately $5.9 million) must be made
on July 20, 2012, and December 20, 2012, respectively,
and three payments of principal in the amount of RMB
60.0 million (approximately $8.8 million) each must be
made on July 20, 2013, December 20, 2013, and
January 20, 2014, respectively. The obligations of Libbey
China are secured by a guarantee executed by Libbey Inc. for the
benefit of CCB and a mortgage lien on the Libbey China facility.
RMB
Working Capital Loan
In March 2007, Libbey China entered into a RMB 50.0 million
working capital loan with CCB. The
3-year term
loan has a principal payment at maturity on March 14, 2010,
has a current interest rate of 5.40 percent, and is secured
by a Libbey Inc. guarantee. Subsequent to December 31,
2009, the terms of the working capital loan were extended. Under
the new terms, the loan matures in January, 2011. At
December 31, 2009, the U.S. dollar equivalent on the
line was $7.3 million. Interest is payable quarterly.

BES
Euro Line
In January 2007, Crisal entered into a seven year,
11.0 million line of credit (approximately
$15.8 million) with Banco Espírito Santo, S.A. (BES).
The $14.2 million outstanding at December 31, 2009 was
the U.S. dollar equivalent of the 9.9 million
outstanding under the line at an interest rate of
3.77 percent. Payment of principal in the amount of
1.6 million (approximately $2.3 million) is due
in December 2010, payment of 2.2 million
(approximately $3.2 million) is due in December 2011,
payment of 2.8 million (approximately
$4.0 million) is due in December 2012 payment of
3.3 million (approximately $4.7 million) is due
in December 2013. Interest with respect to the line is paid
every six months.
Other
Debt
The other debt of $0.6 million at December 31, 2008
consisted primarily of government-subsidized loans for equipment
purchases at Crisal.
Fair
Value of Borrowings
The fair value of the Companys debt has been calculated
based on quoted market prices for the same or similar issues.
Our floating rate $306 million Senior Notes due June, 2011
had an estimated fair value of $301.4 million and
$104.0 million at December 31, 2009 and
December 31, 2008, respectively. The $80.4 million New
PIK Notes have been held by a single holder since inception, and
there is no active market from which a fair value could be
derived. The value of the remainder of our debt approximates
carrying value due to variable interest rates.
Capital
Resources and Liquidity
Historically, cash flows generated from operations and our
borrowing capacity under our ABL Facility have enabled us to
meet our cash requirements, including capital expenditures and
working capital requirements. As indicated in our MD&A
Discussion of 2009 vs. 2008 Cash flow, during 2009
we generated significant free cash flow from operations. As a
result, at December 31, 2009 we had no amounts outstanding
under our ABL Facility, although we had $9.9 million of
letters of credit issued under that facility. As a result, we
had $79.2 million of unused availability remaining under
the ABL Facility at December 31, 2009, as compared to
$44.6 million of unused availability at December 31,
2008. In addition, we had $55.1 million of cash on hand at
December 31, 2009, compared to $13.3 million of cash
on hand at December 31, 2008.
On February 8, 2010, we used the proceeds of a debt
offering of $400.0 million of senior secured notes due
2015, together with cash on hand, to redeem the
$80.4 million face amount of New PIK Notes that were
outstanding at that date and to repurchase the
$306.0 million of senior secured notes due 2011. We also
amended and restated our ABL Facility to, among other things,
extend the maturity to 2014 and reduce the amount that we can
borrow under that facility from $150.0 million to
$110.0 million. In addition, effective February 25,
2010, we extended the maturity of our RMB 50 million
working capital loan from March 2010 to January 2011. See
note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more
information regarding these subsequent events.
Based on our operating plans and current forecast expectations
(including expectations that the global economy will not
deteriorate further), we anticipate that our cash flows from
operations and our borrowing capacity under our amended and
restated ABL Facility will provide sufficient cash availability
to meet our ongoing liquidity needs.
Facility
Closures
In December 2008, we announced that the Syracuse China
manufacturing facility and our Mira Loma, California
distribution center would be shut down in early to mid-2009 in
order to reduce costs, and we accordingly
76
LIBBEY
INC.

Statements (Continued)
recorded a pretax charge of $29.1 million in 2008. The
principal components of the charge included fixed asset
write-downs, inventory write-downs, and employee severance
related costs for the approximately 305 employees impacted
by the closures and pension and postretirement charges.
In 2008 we performed an analysis to determine the appropriate
carrying value of inventory located at Syracuse China and Mira
Loma. A lower of cost or market adjustment was recorded in the
fourth quarter of 2008 in the amount of $9.8 million to
properly state our ending inventory values. This charge was
included in cost of sales on the 2008 Consolidated Statements of
Operations.
In the fourth quarter of 2008, we recorded a $9.7 million
reduction in the carrying value of our long-lived assets in
accordance with FASB ASC 360 (formerly SFAS No. 144).
Under FASB ASC 360, long-lived assets are tested for
recoverability if certain events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying value of the long-lived assets may
not be recoverable. The announcement of the closure of the
Syracuse China reporting unit indicated that the carrying value
of our long-lived assets may not be recoverable and we performed
an impairment review. We then recorded impairment charges, for
property, plant and equipment, based upon the amounts by which
the carrying amounts of these assets exceeded their fair values.
Fair value was determined by appraisals. This charge was
included in special charges on the 2008 Consolidated Statements
of Operations.
In 2008 we recorded a charge of $9.0 million related to the
announced closures for employee-related costs and other. Of this
amount, $4.2 million was included in cost of sales in the
2008 Consolidated Statements of Operations for pension and
non-pension postretirement welfare costs. An additional
$4.8 million included primarily severance, medical benefits
and outplacement services for the employees. This amount was
included in special charges in the 2008 Consolidated Statements
of Operations.
Further, depreciation expense was increased by $0.3 million
at Syracuse in 2008 to reflect the shorter remaining life of the
assets. This was recorded in cost of sales on the 2008
Consolidated Statements of Operations, in the North American
Other reporting segment.
In addition, natural gas hedges in place for the Syracuse China
facility were no longer deemed effective, as the forecasted
transactions related to those contracts were not probable of
occurring. This resulted in a charge of $0.4 million to
other income on the 2008 Consolidated Statements of Operations,
in the North American Other reporting segment. See note 13
for further discussion of derivatives.
In 2009 we recorded a pre-tax charge of $3.8 million
related to the closures of the Syracuse China manufacturing
facility and the Mira Loma, California distribution center that
were announced in 2008. The principal components of the charge
included building site clean up, inventory write-downs related
to
work-in-process
and raw materials of $1.0 million net of fixed asset
recoveries (net of write-downs), employee severance related
costs and other of $1.7 million and pension and
postretirement charges of $0.3 million. Further,
depreciation expense was increased by $0.7 million at
Syracuse in the first quarter of 2009 to reflect the shorter
life of the remaining assets. In addition, natural gas hedges of
$0.2 million for the Syracuse China facility were charged
to other income on the 2009 Consolidated Statements of
Operations, in the North American Other reporting segment. See
note 13 for further discussion of derivatives.

Notes to
Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
The ending balances of $1.0 million and $4.2 million
for 2009 and 2008, respectively, were included in accrued
special charges on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We expect
the 2009 balance to result in cash payments in 2010. These
charges were recorded in the North American Other and North
American Glass reporting segments in 2009.
Write-off
of Finance Fees
In October 2009, we wrote off $2.7 million of finance fees
incurred in connection with the exchange of the Old PIK Notes.
These charges were recorded as interest expense on the
Consolidated Statement of Operations and are reflected in the
North American Glass reporting segment. See note 6 for
further discussion.
Intangible
Asset Impairment
Goodwill and intangible assets were tested for impairment in
accordance with FASB ASC Topic 350 and an impairment charge was
incurred in 2008 in the amount of $11.9 million for both
goodwill and intangibles associated with Royal Leerdam and
Crisal, which are in our International reporting segment.
$9.4 million of this charge was included in impairment of
goodwill and $2.5 million was recorded in special charges
on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For further
discussion of goodwill and intangibles impairment, see
note 4.
Fixed
Asset Impairment
During 2008, we wrote down certain fixed assets within our North
American Glass segment that had become idled and no longer were
being used in our production process. The non-cash charge of
$4.5 million was included in cost of sales on the
Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The 2009 deferred income tax asset for net operating loss carry
forwards of $16.0 million relates to pre-tax losses
incurred in the Netherlands of $21.6 million, in Mexico of
$4.3 million, in Portugal of $11.3 million, in China
of $14.9 million, in U.S. federal of $5.9 million
and in U.S. state and local jurisdictions of
$36.2 million. During 2009, we utilized $35.3 million
in U.S. federal net operating loss carry forwards, which
carried a full valuation allowance, principally due to the
cancellation of indebtedness income (see note 6) and a
change in tax law resulting in a five year net operating loss
carry back. Our foreign net operating loss carry forwards of
$52.1 million will expire between 2011 and 2018. Our
U.S. federal net operating loss carry forward of
$5.9 million will expire in 2028. The U.S. state and
local net operating loss carry forward of $35.9 million
will expire between 2017 and 2029. The 2008 deferred asset for
net operating loss carry forwards of $30.4 million relates
to pre-tax losses incurred in the Netherlands of
$17.7 million, in Mexico of $5.0 million, in Portugal
of $14.3 million, in China of $8.8 million, in
U.S. federal of $51.4 million, and state and local
jurisdictions of $45.2 million.
The Company has a tax holiday in China, which will expire in
2013. The Company recognized no benefit from the tax holiday in
2009, 2008 or 2007.
The 2009 deferred tax credits of $10.1 million consist of
$3.0 million U.S. federal tax credits and
$7.1 million
Non-U.S. credits.
The U.S. federal tax credits are foreign tax credits
associated with undistributed earnings of our Canadian
operations, which are not permanently reinvested, general
business credits, and alternative minimum tax credits. The
general business credits primarily consist of federal
empowerment zone credits and research credits. The
Non-U.S. credits
of $7.1 million, which is related to withholding tax on
inter-company debt in the Netherlands, can be carried forward
indefinitely. The 2008 deferred tax credits of $8.9 million
consist of $2.0 million U.S. federal tax credits and
$6.9 million of
Non-U.S. credits.
In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, management
considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion
or all of the deferred income tax assets will be realized on a
quarterly basis or whenever events indicate that a review is
required. The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets
is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income
(including reversals of deferred income tax liabilities) during
the periods in which those temporary differences reverse. As a
result, we consider the historical and projected financial
results of the legal entity or consolidated group recording the
net deferred income tax asset as well as all other positive and
negative evidence. Examples of the evidence we consider are

Notes to

Statements (Continued)
The valuation allowance increased $11.6 million in 2009
from $87.4 million at December 31, 2008 to
$99.0 million at December 31, 2009. The 2009 valuation
allowance of $99.0 million consists of $80.6 million
related to U.S. entities and $18.4 million is related
to
Non-U.S. entities.
The 2009 increase of $11.6 million is attributable to the
current year change in deferred tax assets. The valuation
allowance increased $58.5 million in 2008 from
$28.9 million at December 31, 2007 to
$87.4 million at December 31, 2008. The 2008 increase
of $58.5 million was primarily attributable to increases in
net operating loss carry forwards, long-lived asset impairment
changes, pension and non-pension postretirement benefits, and
the recording of a partial valuation allowance for Portugal.
Reconciliation from the statutory U.S. federal income tax
rate of 35.0 percent to the consolidated effective income
tax rate was as follows:

During 2009, the Company identified an income tax adjustment
related to the 2006 Crisa acquisition as reflected in the table
above. After review, management believes these items did not
have a material impact on the financial statements.

taxes, classified in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as prepaid
and other current assets, are as follows:

U.S. income taxes and
non-U.S. withholding
taxes were not provided on a cumulative total of approximately
$37.5 million at December 31, 2009 and
$20.4 million at December 31, 2008 of undistributed
earnings for certain
non-U.S. subsidiaries.
We intend to reinvest these earnings indefinitely in the
non-U.S. operations.
Determination of the net amount of unrecognized U.S. income
tax and potential foreign withholdings with respect to these
earnings is not practicable.
The company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. and
various foreign jurisdictions. Management judgment is required
in evaluating our tax positions and determining our provision
for income taxes. Throughout the course of business, there are
numerous transactions and calculations for which the ultimate
tax determination is uncertain. When management believes certain
tax positions may be challenged despite our belief that the tax
return positions are supportable, the company establishes
reserves for tax uncertainties based on estimates of whether
additional
82

taxes will be due. We adjust these reserves taking into
consideration changing facts and circumstances, such as an
outcome of a tax audit. The income tax provision includes the
impact of reserve provisions and changes to reserves that are
considered appropriate. Accruals for tax contingencies are
provided for in accordance with the requirements of FASB ASC 740
(formerly FIN 48.)
At December 31, 2009, we had $1.0 million of total
gross unrecognized tax benefits, of which approximately
$1.0 million would impact the effective tax rate, if
recognized. At December 31, 2008, we had $2.3 million
of total gross unrecognized tax benefits, of which approximately
$0.9 million would impact the effective tax rate, if
recognized. At December 31, 2007, we had $2.7 million
of total gross unrecognized tax benefits, of which approximately
$1.3 million would impact the effective tax rate, if
recognized. During 2009, we released $2.4 million of total
gross unrecognized tax benefits due to settlements reached with
taxing authorities. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending
amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest
and penalties, is as follows:

We recognize interest and penalties accrued related to
unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes. We
recognized a $0.5 million benefit in 2009, a
$0.5 million benefit in 2008 and a $0.2 million
benefit in 2007 in our Consolidated Statements of Operations
from a reduction in interest and penalties for uncertain tax
positions. In addition we had $2.0 million,
$2.5 million and $3.0 million accrued for interest and
penalties, net of tax benefit at December 31, 2009, 2008
and 2007, respectively.
We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal
jurisdiction, and various states and foreign jurisdictions. As
of December 31, 2009, the tax years that remained subject
to examination by major tax jurisdictions were as follows:

We have pension plans covering the majority of our employees.
Benefits generally are based on compensation for salaried
employees and job grade and length of service for hourly
employees. Our policy is to fund pension plans such that
sufficient assets will be available to meet future benefit
requirements. In addition, we have an unfunded supplemental
employee retirement plan (SERP) that covers salaried
U.S.-based
employees of Libbey hired before January 1, 2006. The
U.S. pension plans cover the salaried
U.S.-based
employees of Libbey hired before January 1, 2006 and most
hourly
U.S.-based
employees (excluding new hires at Shreveport after 2008). The
non-U.S. pension
plans cover the employees of our wholly owned subsidiaries Royal
Leerdam and Crisa. The Crisa plan is not funded.

In 2009, we incurred pension settlement charges of
$3.7 million. The pension settlement charges were triggered
by excess lump sum distributions taken by employees, which
required us to record unrecognized gains and losses in our
pension plan accounts.
In the fourth quarter of 2008 we incurred a pension curtailment
charge of $1.1 million related to the announced closing of
our Syracuse China plant. See note 7 for further discussion.

The discount rate enables us to estimate the present value of
expected future cash flows on the measurement date. The rate
used reflects a rate of return on high-quality fixed income
investments that match the duration of expected benefit payments
at our December 31 measurement date. The discount rate at
December 31 is used to measure the year-end benefit obligations
and the earnings effects for the subsequent year. A higher
discount rate decreases the present value of benefit obligations
and decreases pension expense.
To determine the expected long-term rate of return on plan
assets for our funded plans, we consider the current and
expected asset allocations, as well as historical and expected
returns on various categories of plan assets. The expected
long-term rate of return on plan assets at
December 31st is used to measure the earnings effects
for the subsequent year. The assumed long-term rate of return on
assets is applied to a calculated value of plan assets that
recognizes gains and losses in the fair value of plan assets
compared to expected returns over the next five years. This
produces the expected return on plan assets that is included in
pension expense. The difference between the
84

Notes to
Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
expected return and the actual return on plan assets is deferred
and amortized over five years. The net deferral of past asset
gains (losses) affects the calculated value of plan assets and,
ultimately, future pension expense (income).
Future benefits are assumed to increase in a manner consistent
with past experience of the plans, which, to the extent benefits
are based on compensation, includes assumed compensation
increases as presented above. Amortization included in net
pension expense is based on the average remaining service of

We account for our defined benefit pension plans on an expense
basis that reflects actuarial funding methods. The actuarial
valuations require significant estimates and assumptions to be
made by management, primarily with respect to the discount rate
and expected long-term return on plan assets. These assumptions
are all susceptible to changes in market conditions. The
discount rate is based on representative bond yield curves. In
determining the expected long-term rate of return on plan
assets, we consider historical market and portfolio rates of
return, asset allocations and expectations of future rates of
return. We evaluate these critical assumptions on our annual
measurement date of December 31st. Other assumptions
involving demographic factors such as retirement age, mortality
and turnover are evaluated periodically and are updated to
reflect our experience. Actual results in any given year often
will differ from actuarial assumptions because of demographic,
economic and other factors.
Considering 2009 results, the disclosure below provides a
sensitivity analysis of the impact that changes in the
significant assumptions would have on 2009 and 2010 pension
expense and 2010 funding requirements:

The 2009 net accrued pension benefit cost of
$112.3 million is represented by a non-current asset in the
amount of $9.4 million, a current liability in the amount
of $2.0 million and a long-term liability in the amount of
$119.7 million on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The
2008 net accrued pension benefit cost of
$101.9 million is represented by a non-current asset in the
amount of $9.4 million, a current liability in the amount
of $1.8 million and a long-term liability in the amount of
$109.5 million on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The
current portion reflects the amount of expected benefit payments
that are greater than the plan assets on a
plan-by-plan
basis.
The pre-tax amounts recognized in accumulated other
comprehensive loss as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, are as

We contributed $9.2 million to the U.S. pension plans
in 2009, compared to $21.4 million in 2008. We contributed
$2.8 million in 2009 to the
non-U.S. pension
plan compared to $4.9 million in 2008. It is difficult to
estimate future cash contributions, as such amounts are a
function of actual investment returns, withdrawals from the
plans, changes in interest rates and other factors uncertain at
this time. The recent decline in current market conditions has
resulted in decreased valuations of our pension plan assets.
Based on actuarial valuations and current pension funding
requirements, we do not currently anticipate significant changes
to current cash contribution levels in 2010. We currently
anticipate making cash contributions of approximately
$9.5 million into the U.S. pension plans and
approximately $3.4 million into the
non-U.S. pension
plans in 2010. However, it is possible that greater cash
contributions may be required in 2011. Although a continued
decline in market conditions, changes in current pension law and
uncertainties regarding significant assumptions used in the
actuarial valuations may have a material impact in future
required contributions to our pension plans, we currently to not
expect funding requirements to have a material adverse impact on
current or future liquidity.
Pension benefit payment amounts are anticipated to be paid from
the plans (including the SERP) as follows:

Our investment strategy is to control and manage investment risk
through diversification across asset classes and investment
styles, within established target asset allocation ranges. The
investment risk of the assets is limited by appropriate
diversification both within and between asset classes. Assets
will be diversified among a mix of traditional investments in
equity and fixed income instruments, as well as alternative
investments including real estate and hedge funds. It would be
anticipated that a modest allocation to cash would exist within
the plans, since each investment manager is likely to hold some
cash in the portfolio with the goal of ensuring that sufficient
liquidity will be available to meet expected cash flow
requirements.
Our investment valuation policy is to value the investments at
fair value. All investments are valued at their respective net
asset values as calculated by the Trustee. Underlying equity
securities for which market quotations are readily available are
valued at the last reported readily available sales price on
their principal exchange on the valuation date or official close
for certain markets. Fixed income investments are valued on a
basis of valuations furnished by a trustee-approved pricing
service, which determines valuations for normal
institutional-size trading units of such securities which are
generally recognized at fair value as determined in good faith
by the Trustee. Short-term investments, if any, are stated at
amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The fair value of
investments in real estate funds is based on valuation of the
fund as determined by periodic appraisals of the underlying
investments owned by the respective fund. The fair value of
hedge funds is based on the net asset values provided by the
fund manager. Investments in registered investments companies or
collective pooled funds, if any, are valued at their respective
net asset value.

Nonpension
Postretirement Benefits
|
We provide certain retiree health care and life insurance
benefits covering our U.S. and Canadian salaried and
non-union hourly employees hired before January 1, 2004 and
a majority of our union hourly employees. Employees are
generally eligible for benefits upon retirement and completion
of a specified number of years of creditable service. Benefits
for most hourly retirees are determined by collective
bargaining. Under a cross-indemnity agreement, Owens-Illinois,
Inc. assumed liability for the nonpension postretirement
benefits of Libbey retirees who had retired as of June 24,
1993. Accordingly, obligations for these employees are excluded
from the Companys financial statements. The
U.S. nonpension postretirement plans cover the hourly and
salaried
U.S.-based
employees of Libbey. The
non-U.S. nonpension
postretirement plans cover the retirees and active employees of
Libbey who are located in Canada. The postretirement benefit
plans are not funded.

We use various actuarial assumptions, including the discount
rate and the expected trend in health care costs, to estimate
the costs and benefit obligations for our retiree health plan.
The discount rate is determined based on high-quality fixed
income investments that match the duration of expected retiree
medical benefits at our December 31 measurement date to
establish the discount rate. The discount rate at December 31 is
used to measure the year-end benefit obligations and the
earnings effects for the subsequent year.

Notes to

Statements (Continued)
The health care cost trend rate represents our expected annual
rates of change in the cost of health care benefits. The trend
rate noted above represents a forward projection of health care
costs as of the measurement date.
Sensitivity to changes in key assumptions is as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
A 1.0 percent change in the health care trend rate would
not have a material impact upon the nonpension postretirement
expense.
|
|
|
|
A 1.0 percent change in the discount rate would change the
nonpension postretirement expense by $0.4 million.

Prior to September 1, 2008, we also provided retiree health
care benefits to certain union hourly employees through
participation in a multi-employer retiree health care benefit
plan. This was an insured, premium-based arrangement. Related to
this plan, approximately $0.5 million was charged to
expense for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.
During the second quarter of 2008, we amended our
U.S. non-pension postretirement plans to cover employees
and retirees previously covered under the multi-employer plan.
This plan amendment was effective September 1, 2008 and
resulted in a charge of $3.4 million to other comprehensive
loss during the second quarter of 2008.

The effect of employee stock options, warrants, restricted stock
units and performance shares, 733,908 shares for the year
ended December 31, 2009, were anti-dilutive and thus not
included in the earnings per share calculation. The effect of
employee stock options, warrants, restricted stock units,
performance shares and the employee stock purchase plan, (ESPP),
237,802 and 283,009 shares for the years ended
December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, were
anti-dilutive and thus not included in the earnings per share
calculation. These amounts would have been dilutive if not for
the net loss. |

LIBBEY

Notes to
Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
When applicable, diluted shares outstanding include the dilutive
impact of
in-the-money
options, which are calculated based on the average share price
for each fiscal period using the treasury stock method. Under
the treasury stock method, the tax-effected proceeds that
hypothetically would be received from the exercise of all
in-the-money
options are assumed to be used to repurchase shares.

Employee
Stock Benefit Plans
|
We have three stock-based employee compensation plans. We also
had an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) under which eligible
employees could purchase a limited number of shares of Libbey
Inc. common stock at a discount. The ESPP was terminated
effective May 31, 2009.
We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB
ASC Topic 718, Compensation Stock
Compensation and FASB ASC Topic
505-50,
Equity Equity Based Payment to
Non-Employees (formerly
SFAS No. 123-R,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation), which
requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense
for all share-based awards to our employees and directors.
Share-based compensation cost is measured based on the fair
value of the equity or liability instruments issued. FASB ASC
718 and FASB ASC
505-50 apply
to all of our outstanding unvested share-based payment awards.
Equity
Participation Plan Program Description
We have three equity participation plans: (1) the Libbey
Inc. Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan for Key Employees,
(2) the Amended and Restated 1999 Equity Participation Plan
of Libbey Inc. and (3) the Libbey Inc. 2006 Omnibus
Incentive Plan. Although options previously granted under the
Libbey Inc. Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan for Key
Employees and the Amended and Restated 1999 Equity Participation
Plan of Libbey Inc. remain outstanding, no further grants of
equity-based compensation may be made under those plans.
However, up to a total of 1,500,000 shares of Libbey Inc.
common stock are available for issuance as equity-based
compensation under the Libbey Inc. 2006 Omnibus Incentive Plan.
Under the Libbey Inc. 2006 Omnibus Incentive Plan, grants of
equity-based compensation may take the form of stock options,
stock appreciation rights, performance shares or units,
restricted stock or restricted stock units or other stock-based
awards. Employees and directors are eligible for awards under
this plan. During 2009, there were grants of 346,021 stock
options, 8,717 performance shares, 260,271 restricted stock
units and 2,700 stock appreciation rights. During 2008, there
were grants of 147,976 stock options, 80,368 performance shares,
100,725 restricted stock units and 1,500 stock appreciation
rights. All option grants have an exercise price equal to the
fair market value of the underlying stock on the grant date. The
vesting period of options, stock appreciation rights and
restricted stock units outstanding as of December 31, 2009,
is generally four years. All grants of equity-based compensation
are amortized over the vesting period in accordance FASB ASC 718
(formerly
SFAS No. 123-R)
expense attribution methodology. The impact of applying the
provisions of FASB ASC 718 is a pre-tax compensation expense of
$2.4 million, $3.5 million and $3.4 million in
selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated
Statement of Operations for 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Non-Qualified
Stock Option and Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP)
Information
We had an ESPP under which 950,000 shares of common stock
had been reserved for issuance. Eligible employees could
purchase a limited number of shares of common stock at a
discount of up to 15 percent of the market value at certain
plan-defined dates. The ESPP terminated on May 31, 2009. In
2009 and 2008, shares issued under the ESPP totaled 362,011 and
113,247, respectively. Due to termination of the Plan, at
December 31, 2009 there were no shares available for
issuance under the ESPP. At December 31, 2008,
456,200 shares were available for issuance under the ESPP.
Repurchased common stock was used to fund the ESPP.
A participant could elect to have payroll deductions made during
the offering period in an amount not less than 2 percent
and not more than 20 percent of the participants
compensation during the option period. The option period started
on the offering date (June 1st) and ended on the exercise
date (May 31st). In no event could the option price per
share be less than the par value per share ($.01) of common
stock. All options and rights to participate in
93
LIBBEY

Statements (Continued)
the ESPP were nontransferable and subject to forfeiture in
accordance with the ESPP guidelines. In the event of certain
corporate transactions, each option outstanding under the ESPP
would be assumed or the successor corporation or a parent or
subsidiary of such successor corporation would substitute an
equivalent option. Compensation expense for 2009, 2008 and 2007
related to the ESPP was $(0.1) million, $0.6 million
and $0.5 million, respectively. The credit in expense for
2009 was attributable to the reversal of expense related to the
employees who elected to cancel their participation in the plan
prior to the plans May 31, 2009 termination.
Stock option compensation expense of $1.0 million,
$1.1 million and $0.8 million is included in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations for 2009, 2008 and 2007,
respectively.
The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in
estimating the value of traded options that have no vesting
restrictions and are fully transferable. There were 346,021
stock option grants made during 2009. Under the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model, the weighted-average grant-date fair value
of options granted during 2009 is $0.74. There were 147,976 and
284,132 stock option grants made during 2008 and 2007,
respectively. Under the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, the
weighted-average grant-date fair value of option granted during
2008 and 2007 was $7.34 and $7.22, respectively. The fair value
of each option is estimated on the date of grant with the
following weighted-average assumptions:

The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury
yield curve at the time of grant and has a term equal to the
expected life.
|
|
|
|
The expected term represents the period of time the options are
expected to be outstanding. Additionally, we use historical data
to estimate option exercises and employee forfeitures. The
Company uses the Simplified Method defined by the SEC Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 107, Share-Based
Payment (SAB 107), to estimate the expected term of
the option, representing the period of time that options granted
are expected to be outstanding.
|
|
|
|
The expected volatility was developed based on historic stock
prices commensurate with the expected term of the option. We use
projected data for expected volatility of our stock options
based on the average of daily, weekly and monthly historical
volatilities of our stock price over the expected term of the
option and other economic data trended into future years.
|
|
|
|
The dividend yield is calculated as the ratio based on our most
recent historical dividend payments per share of common stock at
the grant date to the stock price on the date of grant.

Intrinsic value for share-based instruments is defined as the
difference between the current market value and the exercise
price. FASB ASC Topic 718 (formerly
SFAS No. 123-R)
requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of the
compensation cost recognized for those stock options (excess tax
benefit) to be classified as financing cash flows. There were no
stock options exercised during 2009 or 2008 and 7,920 stock
options exercised in 2007.
The aggregate intrinsic value in the preceding table represents
the total pretax intrinsic value, based on the Libbey Inc.
closing stock price of $7.65 as of December 31, 2009, which
would have been received by the option holders had all option
holders exercised their options as of that date. As of
December 31, 2009, 1,070,798 outstanding options were
exercisable, and the weighted average exercise price was $22.48.
As of December 31, 2008, 1,076,152 outstanding options were
exercisable, and the weighted average exercise price was $25.16.
As of December 31, 2007, 1,183,286 outstanding options were
exercisable, and the weighted average exercise price was $27.70.
As of December 31, 2009, $0.6 million of total
unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested stock
options is expected to be recognized within the next two years
on a weighted-average basis. The total fair value of shares
vested during 2009 is $0.9 million. Shares issued for
exercised options are issued from treasury stock.

Performance
Share Information
Performance share compensation expense of $0.5 million,
$0.2 million and $0.6 million for 2009, 2008 and 2007,
respectively, is included in our Statement of Operations.
Under the Libbey Inc. 2006 Omnibus Incentive Plan, we grant
select executives and key employees performance shares. The
number of performance shares granted to an executive is
determined by dividing the value to be transferred to the
executive, expressed in U.S. dollars and determined as a
percentage of the executives long-term incentive target
(which in turn is a percentage of the executives base
salary on January 1 of the year in which the performance shares
are granted), by the average closing price of Libbey Inc. common
stock over a period of 60 consecutive trading days ending on the
date of the grant. The only performance shares that were awarded
in 2009 related to performance cycles that began in 2007 and
2008. The number of those performance shares, which were awarded
to a new executive, was determined using the average month-end
closing price of Libbey Inc. common stock over a period of
twelve months ending January 31, 2009.
The performance shares are settled by issuance to the executive
of one share of Libbey Inc. common stock for each performance
share earned. Performance shares are earned only if and to the
extent we achieve certain company-wide performance goals over
performance cycles of between 1 and 3 years.

Of this amount, 48,034 performance shares were earned as of
December 31, 2009, and as a result, 48,034 shares of
Libbey Inc. common stock were issued in February 2010 to the
executives in settlement of these performance shares.
The weighted-average grant-date fair value of the performance
shares granted during 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $1.41, $15.35 and
$12.97 per share, respectively. As of December 31, 2009,
there was $0.3 million of total unrecognized compensation
cost related to nonvested performance shares granted. That cost
is expected to be recognized over a period of one year. Shares
issued for performance share awards are issued from treasury
stock.
Stock
and Restricted Stock Unit Information
Compensation expense of $1.0 million, $1.6 million and
$1.5 million for 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively, is
included in our Statement of Operations to reflect grants of
restricted stock units and of stock.
Under the Libbey Inc. 2006 Omnibus Incentive Plan, we grant
members of our Board of Directors restricted stock units or
shares of unrestricted stock. The restricted stock units or
shares granted to Directors are immediately vested and all
compensation expense is recognized in our Statement of
Operations in the year the grants are made. In addition, we
grant restricted stock units to select executives, and we grant
shares of restricted stock to key employees. The restricted
stock units granted to select executives vest generally over
four years. The restricted stock units granted to key employees
generally vest on the first anniversary of the grant date.

Employee
401(k) Plan Retirement Fund and Non-Qualified Deferred Executive
Compensation Plans
We sponsor the Libbey Inc. salary and hourly 401(k) plans (the
Plan) to provide retirement benefits for our employees. As
allowed under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code,
the Plan provides tax-deferred salary contributions for eligible
employees.
For the Salary Plan, employees can contribute from
1 percent to 50 percent of their annual salary on a
pre-tax basis, up to the annual IRS limits. We matched
100 percent on the first 1 percent and matched
50 percent on the next two to five percent of pretax
contributions to a maximum of 3.5 percent of compensation.
For the Hourly Plan, employees can contribute from
1 percent to 25 percent of their annual pay up to the
annual IRS limits. We match 50 percent of the first
6 percent of eligible earnings that are contributed by
employees on a pretax basis. The company suspended matching
contributions under the Plans for salaried and non-union
employees effective March 16, 2009, and they were
reinstated December 1, 2009. Therefore, the maximum
matching contribution that we may allocate to each
participants account did not exceed $8,575 for the Salary
Plan or $7,350 for the Hourly Plan for the 2009 calendar year
due to the $245,000 annual limit on eligible earnings imposed by
the Internal Revenue Code. Starting in 2003, we used treasury
stock for the company match contributions to the Plans; however,
we discontinued that practice as to salaried positions beginning
January 1, 2007, and effective January 1, 2008 we
discontinued that practice with hourly positions also. All
matching contributions are now made in cash and vest immediately.
Effective January 1, 2005, employees who meet the age
requirements and reach the Plan contribution limits can make a
catch-up
contribution not to exceed the lesser of 50 percent of
their eligible compensation or the limit of $5,000 set forth in
the Internal Revenue Code for the 2009 calendar year. The
catch-up
contributions are not eligible for matching contributions.
98
LIBBEY
INC.
Notes to
Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
Effective January 1, 2009, we have a non-qualified
Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (EDCP). Under the EDCP,
executives and other members of senior management may elect to
defer base salary (including vacation pay and holiday pay), cash
incentive and bonus compensation and equity-based compensation.
We provide matching contributions on excess contributions in the
same manner as we provide matching contributions under our
401(k) plan.
At the end of 2008, the non-qualified Executive Savings Plan
(ESP) was frozen. The ESP was for those employees whose salary
exceeded the IRS limit. Libbey matched employee contributions
under the ESP in the same manner as we provided matching
contributions under our 401(k) plan.
Our matching contributions to all Plans totaled
$1.3 million, $2.6 million and $2.6 million in
2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively.
We utilize derivative financial instruments to hedge certain
interest rate risks associated with our long-term debt,
commodity price risks associated with forecasted future natural
gas requirements and foreign exchange rate risks associated with
transactions denominated in a currency other than the
U.S. dollar. Most of these derivatives, except for certain
natural gas contracts originally designated to expected
purchases at Syracuse China and the foreign currency contracts,
qualify for hedge accounting since the hedges are highly
effective, and we have designated and documented
contemporaneously the hedging relationships involving these
derivative instruments. Changes in the effective portion of the
fair value of these hedges are recorded in Other Comprehensive
Income (Loss) (OCI). While we intend to continue to meet the
conditions for hedge accounting, if hedges do not qualify as
highly effective or if we do not believe that forecasted
transactions would occur, the changes in the fair value of the
derivatives used as hedges would be reflected in our earnings.
All of these contracts were accounted for under FASB ASC 815
Derivatives and Hedging, (formerly FASB Statement
No. 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities).
During December 2008, we announced the closing of the Syracuse
China facility in early April 2009 (see note 7). At the
time of the announcement we held natural gas contracts for the
Syracuse China facility with a settlement date after March 2009
of 165,000 million British Thermal Units (BTUs). The
closure of this facility has rendered the forecasted
transactions related to these contracts not probable of
occurring. Under FASB ASC 815 Derivatives and
Hedging, when the forecasted transactions of a hedging
relationship becomes not probable of occurring, the gains or
losses that have been classified in OCI in prior periods for
those contracts effected should be reclassified into earnings.
We recognized $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the
years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, in
other income (expense) on the Consolidated Statement of
Operations relating to these contracts.
We use commodity futures contracts related to forecasted future
natural gas requirements. The objective of these futures
contracts and other derivatives is to limit the fluctuations in
prices paid from adverse price movements in the underlying
commodity. We consider our forecasted natural gas requirements
in determining the quantity of natural gas to hedge. We combine
the forecasts with historical observations to establish the
percentage of forecast eligible to be hedged, typically ranging
from 40 percent to 70 percent of our anticipated
requirements, up to eighteen months in the future. The fair
values of these instruments are determined from market quotes.
Certain of our natural gas futures contracts are now classified
as ineffective, as the forecasted transactions are not probable
of occurring due to the closure of our Syracuse China facility
in April 2009.
We also use Interest Rate Protection Agreements (Rate
Agreements) to manage our exposure to variable interest rates.
These Rate Agreements effectively convert a portion of our
borrowings from variable rate debt to fixed-rate debt, thus
reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future results.
These instruments are valued using the market standard
methodology of netting the discounted expected future variable
cash receipts and the
99
LIBBEY
INC.
Notes to
Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
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.
Our foreign currency exposure arises from transactions
denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar,
primarily associated with anticipated purchases of new equipment
or net investment in a foreign operation. The fair values of
these instruments are determined from market quotes. We have not
changed our methods of calculating these values or developing
underlying assumptions. The values of these derivatives will
change over time as cash receipts and payments are made and as
market conditions change.
Notional
Amounts
As of December 31, 2009, we had commodity contracts for
3,610,000 million British Thermal Units (BTUs) of natural
gas. The Interest Rate Protection Agreements all expired on
December 1, 2009. At December 31, 2008, we had
Interest Rate Protection Agreements for $200.0 million of
variable rate debt and commodity contracts for
5,280,000 million BTUs of natural gas. In January 2008, we
entered into a series of foreign currency contracts to sell
Canadian dollars. As of December 31, 2008, all of these
currency contracts had expired.

Change
in value of derivatives
Most of our derivatives qualify and are designated as cash flow
hedges (except certain natural gas contracts originally
designated to expected purchases at Syracuse China) at
December 31, 2009. Hedge accounting is applied only when
the derivative is deemed to be highly effective at offsetting
changes in fair values or anticipated cash flows of the hedged
item or transaction. For hedged forecasted transactions, hedge
accounting is discontinued if the forecasted transaction is no
longer probable to occur, and any previously deferred gains or
losses would be recorded to earnings immediately. The
ineffective portion of the change in the fair value of a
derivative designated as a cash flow hedge is recognized in
other income on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. We
recognized losses of

$0.2 million and $0.5 million and income of

Certain of our natural gas futures contracts are now classified
as ineffective, as the forecasted transactions are not probable
of occurring due to the closure of our Syracuse China facility
in April 2009 as well as decreased production at some of our
plants. As a result, we recorded expense of $0.2 million
and $0.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2009
and 2008, respectively.

As the natural gas contracts mature, the accumulated gains
(losses) for the respective contracts are reclassified from
accumulated other comprehensive loss to current expense in cost
of sales in our Consolidated Statement of Operations. Similarly,
as fixed interest payments are made pursuant to the interest
rate protection agreements, they are recorded together with the
related receipt of variable interest receipts, the payment of
contractual interest expense to the banks and the
reclassification of accumulated gains (losses) from accumulated
other comprehensive loss related to the interest rate
agreements. We received (paid) additional cash interest of
$(6.8) million, $(2.7) million and $0.3 million
in the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007,
respectively, due to the difference between the contractual
fixed interest rates in our interest rate protection agreements
and the variable interest rates associated with our long-term
debt. As reflected in the above table, we paid cash of
$18.3 million, $2.4 million and $6.0 million in
the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007,
respectively due to the difference between the fixed unit rate
of our natural gas contracts and the variable unit rate of our
natural gas cost from suppliers. Based on our current valuation,
we estimate that accumulated losses currently carried in
accumulated other comprehensive loss that will be reclassified
into earnings over the next twelve months will result in
$3.3 million of expense in our Consolidated Statement of
Operations.

We do not believe we are exposed to more than a nominal amount
of credit risk in our interest rate, natural gas and foreign

Notes to

Current accounting rules for Fair Value Accounting under U.S.
GAAP were issued by the FASB in 2006 under SFAS 157,
Fair Value Measurements These rules have been
incorporated primarily into FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures and FASB ASC Topic 250,
Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. We adopted
these rules for Fair Value Accounting as of January 1,
2008, but we had not applied them to non-recurring, nonfinancial
assets and liabilities. We adopted Fair Value Accounting rules
for nonrecurring, nonfinancial assets and liabilities as of
January 1, 2009. The adoption of these rules had no impact
on our fair value measurements. FASB ASC Topic 820 defines fair
value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or
paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most
advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
FASB ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy, which
prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into three
broad levels as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities.
|
|
|
|
Level 2 Inputs, other than the quoted prices in
active markets, that are observable either directly or
indirectly.
|
|
|
|
Level 3 Unobservable inputs based on our own
assumptions.

The fair values of our interest rate protection agreements are
based on the market standard methodology of netting the
discounted expected future variable cash receipts and the
discounted future fixed cash payments. The variable cash
receipts are based on an expectation of future interest rates
derived from observed market interest rate forward curves. The
fair values of our commodity futures natural gas contracts are
determined using observable market inputs. Since these inputs
are observable in active markets over the terms that the
instruments are held, the derivatives are classified as
Level 2 in the hierarchy. We also evaluate Company and
counterparty risk in determining fair values. The total
derivative liability is recorded on the Consolidated Balance
Sheets with $3.3 million in derivative liability and
$2.1 million in other long-term liabilities as of
December 31, 2009. As of December 31, 2008,
$17.9 million was recorded in derivative liability and
$3.7 million in other long-term liabilities.
The commodity futures natural gas contracts and interest rate
protection agreements are hedges of either recorded assets or
liabilities or anticipated transactions. Changes in values of
the underlying hedged assets and liabilities or anticipated
transactions are not reflected in the above table.

We have three reportable segments from which we derive revenue
from external customers. Some operating segments were aggregated
to arrive at the disclosed reportable segments. The segments are
distinguished as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
North American Glass includes sales of glass
tableware from subsidiaries throughout the United States, Canada
and Mexico.
|
|
|
|
North American Other includes sales of ceramic
dinnerware; metal tableware, hollowware and serveware; and
plastic items from subsidiaries in the United States.
|
|
|
|
International includes worldwide sales of glass
tableware from subsidiaries outside the United States, Canada
and Mexico.

Notes to
Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those
described in note 2. We do not have any customers who
represent 10 percent or more of total sales. We evaluate
the performance of our segments based upon sales and Earnings
Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT). Intersegment sales are
consummated at arms length and are reflected in
eliminations in the table below.

On February 8, 2010, we completed the refinancing of
substantially all of the existing indebtedness of our
wholly-owned subsidiaries Libbey Glass and Libbey Europe B.V.
The refinancing included:
|
|
|
|
|
the entry into an amended and restated credit agreement with
respect to our Old ABL Facility;
|
|
|
|
the issuance of $400.0 million in aggregate principal
amount of 10 percent Senior Secured Notes of Libbey Glass
due 2015 (New Notes);
|
|
|
|
the repurchase and cancellation of all of Libbey Glasss
then outstanding $306.0 million in aggregate principal
amount of Senior Notes; and
|
|
|
|
the redemption of all of Libbey Glasss then outstanding
$80.4 million in aggregate principal amount 16 percent
New PIK Notes.
|
Libbey Glass used the proceeds of the offering of the New Notes,
together with cash on hand, to fund the repurchase of the Senior
Notes and the redemption of the New PIK Notes, and to pay
certain related fees and expenses.
On February 25, 2010, the terms of the RMB working capital
loan were extended. Under the new terms, the loan matures in
January, 2011.

Amended
and Restated Credit Agreement
Pursuant to the refinancing, Libbey Glass and Libbey Europe
entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as
of February 8, 2010 (New ABL Facility), between Libbey
Glass and Libbey Europe, as borrowers, the Company, as a loan
guarantor, the other loan parties party thereto as guarantors,
JPMorgan Chase

Bank, N.A., as administrative agent with respect to the
U.S. loans (the U.S. Administrative
Agent), J.P. Morgan Europe Limited, as administrative
agent with respect to the Netherlands loans, Bank of America,
N.A. and Barclays Capital, as Co-Syndication Agents, Wells Fargo
Capital Finance, LLC, as Documentation Agent, and the other
lenders and agents party thereto. The New ABL Facility replaces
the Old ABL Facility and provides for borrowings of up to
$110.0 million, subject to certain borrowing base
limitations, reserves and outstanding letters of credit.
All borrowings under the New ABL Facility are secured by:
|
|
|
|
|
a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the
existing and future real and personal property (including
without limitation tangible and intangible assets) of Libbey
Glass and its domestic subsidiaries (other than certain real
property and equipment located in the United States and certain
general intangibles, instruments, books and records and
supporting obligations related to such real property and
equipment, and certain proceeds of the foregoing) (the
Credit Agreement Priority Collateral);
|
|
|
|
a first-priority security interest in:
|
|
|
|
|
|
100 percent of the stock of Libbey Glass and
100 percent of the stock of substantially all of Libbey
Glass present and future direct and indirect domestic
subsidiaries;
|
|
|
|
100 percent of the non-voting stock of substantially all of
Libbey Glass first-tier present and future foreign
subsidiaries; and
|
|
|
|
65 percent of the voting stock of substantially all of
Libbey Glass first-tier present and future foreign
subsidiaries;
|
|
|
|
|
|
a first priority security interest in substantially all proceeds
and products of the property and assets described above; and
|
|
|
|
a second-priority security interest in substantially all of the
owned real property, equipment and fixtures in the United States
of Libbey Glass and its domestic subsidiaries, subject to
certain exceptions and permitted liens (the New Notes
Priority Collateral).
|
Additionally, borrowings by Libbey Europe under the New ABL
Facility are secured by:
|
|
|
|
|
a first-priority lien on substantially all of the existing and
future real and personal property (including without limitation
all of the tangible and intangible property) of Libbey Europe
and its Dutch subsidiaries; and
|
|
|
|
a first-priority security interest in:
|
|
|
|
|
|
100 percent of the stock of Libbey Europe and
100 percent of the stock of substantially all of the Dutch
subsidiaries; and
|
|
|
|
100 percent (or a lesser percentage to the extent a
security interest in such shares would cause a material tax
cost, but in no case less than 65 percent) of the
outstanding stock issued by the first tier foreign subsidiaries
of Libbey Europe and its Dutch subsidiaries.
|
The interest rates payable under the New ABL Facility will
depend on the type of loan plus an applicable margin. The
initial applicable margin of any LIBOR loans made under the New
ABL Facility is expected to be 3.50 percent and the initial
applicable margin for any CBFR loans made under the New ABL
Facility is expected to be 2.50 percent. After six full
months, the applicable margin will be subject to adjustment
based on established aggregate availability under the New ABL
Facility.

New
Notes
On February 8, 2010, Libbey Glass closed its offering of
New Notes. The net proceeds of the offering of New Notes were
approximately $382.3 million, after taking
1.918 percent original issue discount of $7.7 million
into account and deducting fees payable to the initial
purchasers.
The New Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated
February 8, 2010 (the New Notes Indenture),
between Libbey Glass, the Company, the domestic subsidiaries of
Libbey Glass listed as guarantors therein (the Subsidiary
Guarantors and together with the Company, the
Guarantors), and The Bank of New York Mellon
Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the New Notes
Trustee), and collateral agent. Under the terms of the New
Notes Indenture, the New Notes bear interest at a rate of
10.0 percent per year and will mature on February 15,
2015. The New Notes Indenture contains covenants that restrict
the ability of Libbey Glass and the Guarantors to, among other
things:
|
|
|
|
|

The New Notes Indenture provides for customary events of
default. In the case of an event of default arising from
specified events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all outstanding
New Notes will become due and payable immediately without
further action or notice. If any other event of default under
the Indenture occurs or is continuing, the New Notes Trustee or
holders of at least 25 percent in aggregate principal
amount of the then outstanding New Notes may declare all the New
Notes to be due and payable immediately.
The New Notes and the related guarantees under the New Notes
Indenture are secured by (i) first priority liens on the
New Notes Priority Collateral and (ii) second priority
liens on the Credit Agreement Priority Collateral.
In connection with the sale of the New Notes, Libbey Glass and
the Guarantors entered into a registration rights agreement,
dated February 8, 2010 (the Registration Rights
Agreement), under which they agreed, pursuant to the terms
and conditions set forth therein, to make an offer to exchange
the New Notes and the related guarantees for registered,
publicly tradable notes and guarantees that have substantially
identical terms to the New Notes and the related guarantees, and
in certain limited circumstances, to file a shelf registration
statement that would allow certain holders of New Notes to
resell their respective New Notes to the public.
Intercreditor
Agreement
On February 8, 2010, Libbey Glass and the Guarantors
entered into an intercreditor agreement (the Intercreditor
Agreement) with the U.S. Administrative Agent under
the New ABL Facility and the New Notes Trustee. The
Intercreditor Agreement governs the relative priorities (and
certain other rights) of the lenders under the New ABL Facility
and the holders of the New Notes in respect of the Credit
Agreement Priority Collateral and the New Notes Priority
Collateral.
Termination
of Indenture Governing the Senior Notes
Effective as of February 8, 2010, the indenture governing
the Senior Notes, dated as of June 16, 2006, between Libbey
Glass, the Company and the other guarantors party thereto, as
guarantors, and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company,
N.A., as trustee, has been discharged in accordance with its
terms. Libbey Glass cancelled the Senior Notes on
February 8, 2010, after repurchasing all of the outstanding

of its tender offer. In connection with the purchase of the
tendered Senior Notes, Libbey Glass paid total consideration of
approximately $318.8 million, which consisted of:
(i) $306.0 million for the aggregate principal amount
tendered, (ii) approximately $4.4 million of accrued
and unpaid interest on the tendered Senior Notes and
(iii) $8.4 million of additional payments consisting
of early call and early tender premiums.
Termination
of Indenture Governing the New PIK Notes
Effective as of February 8, 2010, the Amended and Restated
Indenture governing the New PIK Notes, dated as of
October 28, 2009, between Libbey Glass, the Company and the
other guarantors party thereto, as guarantors, and Merrill Lynch
PCG, Inc. (Merrill Lynch PCG), as initial holder,
has been discharged in accordance with its terms. Libbey Glass
redeemed and cancelled all of the outstanding the New PIK Notes
on February 8, 2010. All of the outstanding
$80.4 million of New PIK Notes were held by Merrill Lynch
PCG, which is also the beneficial holder of 9.5 percent of
the Companys common stock. The $70.2 million
difference between the carrying value of the New PIK Notes of
$150.6 million and the face value of $80.4 million
will be recognized as a gain in the first quarter of 2010.

FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

None.
|
|
ITEM 9A.
|
CONTROLS
AND PROCEDURES
|
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that
are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed
in the Companys 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 Commissions rules and forms and
that such information is accumulated and communicated to the
Companys 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 Companys management,
including the Companys Chief Executive Officer and the
Companys Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of
the design and operation of the Companys disclosure
controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by
this report. Based on the foregoing, the Companys Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the
Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective
at the reasonable assurance level.
Report of
Management
The management of the Company is responsible for establishing
and maintaining adequate internal control over financial
reporting. Internal control over financial reporting refers to
the process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and effected by
our board of directors, management and other personnel, to
provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements
for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and includes those policies and
procedures that:
(1) Pertain to the maintenance of records that in
reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions
and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
(2) Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are
recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the
Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of
management and directors of the Company; and
(3) Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or
timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition
of the Companys assets that could have a material effect
on the financial statements.
Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide
absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives
because of its inherent limitations. Internal control over
financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence
and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and
breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over
financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or
improper management override. Because of such limitations, there
is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or
detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial
reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known
features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is
possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though
not eliminate, this risk. Management is responsible for
establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over
financial reporting for the Company.
121
Management has used the framework set forth in the report
entitled Internal Control Integrated
Framework published by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission to evaluate the
effectiveness of the Companys internal control over
financial reporting. Management has concluded that the
Companys internal control over financial reporting was
effective as of the end of the most recent fiscal year. The
Companys independent registered public accounting firm,
Ernst & Young LLP, that audited the Companys
Consolidated Financial Statements, has issued an attestation
report on the Companys internal control over financial
reporting.
Changes
in Internal Control
There has been no change in the Companys internal controls
over financial reporting during the Companys most recent
fiscal year that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, the Companys internal
controls over financial reporting.
