LIBBEY INC. ANNOUNCES RECORD THIRD QUARTER NET SALES AND CONTINUED STRONG REVENUE AND PROFITABILITY GROWTH
 
Third quarter sales increased 5.7 percent, compared to the third quarter of 2013, and were the highest third quarter sales in Company history; Company expects similar top-line growth for the fourth quarter


TOLEDO, OHIO, NOVEMBER 4, 2014--Libbey Inc. (NYSE MKT: LBY) today reported results for the third quarter-ended September 30, 2014.

Third Quarter Financial Highlights

Sales for the third quarter were $216.0 million, compared to $204.4 million for the third quarter of 2013, an increase of 5.7 percent (5.8 percent excluding currency fluctuation).

Net income for the third quarter was $13.8 million, compared to $4.7 million in the prior-year third quarter. Adjusted net income (see Table 1) for the third quarter of $13.8 million was nearly double the $7.4 million adjusted net income recorded in the third quarter of 2013.

Income from operations for the third quarter was $20.7 million, compared to $14.0 million for the third quarter of 2013. Adjusted income from operations (see Table 1) for the third quarter of $20.7 million was an improvement of 18.0 percent, compared to $17.6 million in the third quarter of 2013.

Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) (see Table 3) for the quarter was $31.7 million, compared to $28.7 million in the prior-year quarter.

Interest expense of $4.8 million was $2.9 million lower, compared to $7.7 million in the prior-year quarter.

"Sales growth was strong throughout the Company, as revenue increased in every segment and every channel of distribution. Revenues continued to be strong in the Americas where we achieved 5.6 percent revenue growth. For

the second consecutive quarter, we were able to defend and grow our market share in an extremely competitive market. While our adjusted EBITDA margins were significantly impacted by reduced production activity related to an earlier-than-planned rebuild of a furnace, higher input costs and competitive market actions, we are pleased with our overall Company sales growth of 5.7 percent during the quarter. We look forward to continuing our strong sales performance in the remainder of the year, as we leverage the investments we have made in new products, sales and marketing capabilities. For the fourth quarter, we expect to deliver sales growth and adjusted EBITDA margins similar to the third quarter of 2014," said Stephanie A. Streeter, chief executive officer of Libbey Inc.
 
Third Quarter Segment Sales and Operational Review

Sales in the Americas segment were $149.4 million, compared to $141.4 million in the third quarter of 2013, an increase of 5.6 percent (5.9 percent excluding currency impact). This was comprised of 7.3 percent higher sales in our foodservice channel, an increase of 4.5 percent in retail and a 5.7 percent increase in the business-to-business channel.

Sales in the EMEA segment increased 6.2 percent (6.0 percent excluding currency impact) to $37.7 million, compared to $35.5 million in the third quarter of 2013.

Sales in U.S. Sourcing were $20.6 million in the third quarter of 2014, compared to $19.9 million in the prior-year quarter, as sales of World Tableware and Syracuse China flatware and dinnerware increased 3.6 percent.

Sales in Other were $8.3 million, compared to $7.6 million in the prior-year quarter, resulting from a 9.1 percent increase in sales (also 9.1 percent excluding currency impact) in the Asia Pacific region.

Adjusted EBITDA of $31.7 million (see Table 3) was $3.0 million higher than the $28.7 million reported in the prior-year quarter. The primary factors contributing to the improvement in adjusted EBITDA from the prior-year quarter include higher sales and the realization of savings of approximately $4.6 million from the recently completed North American capacity realignment, partially offset by the nearly $3.0 million impact of lower production activity related to an earlier-than-planned furnace repair, higher input costs for natural gas, packaging and electricity of $1.2 million, nearly $2.0 million in increased freight costs, as well as increased selling and marketing expenses.

Interest expense was $4.8 million, a decrease of $2.9 million, compared to $7.7 million in the year-ago period, primarily driven by lower interest rates, as a result of the refinancing completed during the second quarter of 2014.

Our effective tax rate was 20.4 percent for the quarter-ended September 30, 2014, compared to 15.0 percent for the quarter-ended September 30, 2013. The effective rate in both years was generally influenced by foreign earnings with differing statutory rates, foreign withholding tax, accruals related to uncertain tax positions, intra-period tax allocation and other activity in jurisdictions with recorded valuation allowances.

Nine-Month Financial Highlights

Sales for the first nine months of 2014 were $621.1 million, compared to $597.8 million for the first nine months of 2013, an increase of 3.9 percent (or 3.8 percent excluding currency fluctuation).

Income from operations for the first nine months of 2014 was $53.7 million, compared to $53.4 million during the first nine months of 2013.

Adjusted EBITDA (see Table 3) was $92.8 million for the first nine months of 2014, compared to $96.8 million for the first nine months of 2013.

Nine-Month Segment Sales and Operational Review

Sales in the Americas segment were $425.7 million, compared to $406.7 million in the first nine months of 2013, an increase of 4.7 percent (5.4 percent excluding currency fluctuation) driven by increases in all channels of distribution.

Sales in the EMEA segment increased 3.4 percent (0.6 percent excluding currency impact) to $111.4 million, compared to $107.7 million in the first nine months of 2013.

Sales in the U.S. Sourcing segment increased 2.0 percent to $59.7 million, compared to $58.5 million in the first nine months of 2013.

Sales in Other were $24.2 million, compared to $24.8 million in the prior-year period. This decrease was the result of a 2.2 percent decrease in sales (3.1 percent excluding currency impact) in the Asia Pacific region.

Interest expense was $18.0 million, a decrease of $6.3 million, compared to $24.3 million in the year-ago period, primarily driven by lower interest rates.

Our effective tax rate was (46.6) percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to 25.0 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The effective tax rate was generally influenced by foreign earnings with differing statutory rates, foreign withholding tax, accruals related to uncertain tax positions, intra-period tax allocation and other activity in jurisdictions with recorded valuation allowances.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

Libbey reported that it had available capacity of $83.1 million under its ABL credit facility as of September 30, 2014, with $8.9 million in loans currently outstanding. The Company also had cash on hand of $24.1 million at September 30, 2014.

As of September 30, 2014, working capital, defined as inventories and accounts receivable less accounts payable, was $216.8 million, compared to $204.2 million at September 30, 2013. Working capital increased $12.6 million, compared to the prior year, as the result of higher inventories and increased accounts receivable which were only partially offset by higher accounts payable.

Sherry Buck, chief financial officer, added: "We would expect to generate a significant amount of free cash flow during the fourth quarter as a result of working capital reductions of at least $25 million and receipt of approximately $10 million in insurance proceeds related to a claim for a furnace malfunction in 2013. Additionally, we will continue to realize lower interest expense during the fourth quarter, similar to the $2.9 million reduction we saw in the third quarter."

This press release includes forward-looking statements as defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such statements reflect only the Company's best assessment at this time and are indicated by words or phrases such as "goal," "expects," " believes," "will," "estimates," "anticipates," or similar phrases. Investors are cautioned that forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainty and that actual results may differ materially from these statements, and that investors should not place undue reliance on such statements. These forward-looking statements may be affected by the risks and uncertainties in the Company's business. This information is qualified in its entirety by cautionary statements and risk factor disclosures contained in the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including the Company's report on Form 10-K filed with the Commission on March 12, 2014. Important factors potentially affecting performance include but are not limited to risks related to our ability to borrow under our ABL credit agreement; increased competition from foreign suppliers endeavoring to sell glass tableware in the United States and Mexico; the impact of lower duties for imported products; global economic conditions and the related impact on consumer spending levels; major slowdowns in the retail, travel or entertainment industries in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Western Europe and Asia, caused by terrorist attacks or otherwise; significant increases in per-unit costs for natural gas, electricity, freight, corrugated packaging, and other purchased materials; high levels of indebtedness; high interest rates that increase the Company's borrowing costs or volatility in the financial markets that could constrain liquidity and credit availability; protracted work stoppages related to collective bargaining agreements; increases in expense associated with higher medical costs, increased pension expense associated with lower returns on pension investments and increased pension obligations; devaluations and other major currency fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar and the Euro that could reduce the cost competitiveness of the Company's products compared to foreign competition; the effect of high inflation in Mexico and exchange rate changes to the value of the Mexican peso and the earnings and cash flow of Libbey Mexico, expressed under U.S. GAAP; the inability to achieve savings and profit improvements at targeted levels in the Company's operations or within the intended time periods; and whether the Company completes any significant acquisition and whether such acquisitions can operate profitably. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this press release, and the Company assumes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances arising after the date of this press release.

In accordance with the SEC’s Regulation G, tables 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 provide non-GAAP measures used in this earnings release and a reconciliation to the most closely related Generally Accepted Accounting Principle (GAAP) measure. Libbey believes that providing supplemental non-GAAP financial information is useful to investors in understanding Libbey's core business and trends. In addition, it is the basis on which Libbey's management assesses performance. Although Libbey believes that the non-GAAP financial measures presented enhance investors' understanding of Libbey's business and performance, these non-GAAP measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP.
