LIBBEY INC. ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER RESULTS
 
Company reports a net loss of $78.8 million, driven by a non-cash goodwill impairment, with Adjusted EBITDA of $20 million in Q3; expects fourth quarter sales growth and performance improvement, revises its full-year outlook

TOLEDO, OHIO, October 31, 2017--Libbey Inc. (NYSE American: LBY), one of the largest glass tableware manufacturers in the world, today reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2017.

Business Highlights
Net sales $187.3 million, down 4.8 percent versus prior year, or down 6.2 percent in constant currency
Net loss of $(78.8) million, down $81.7 million versus prior year, driven by a $79.7 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge associated with the Latin America segment
Adjusted EBITDA (Table 1) $20.0 million, compared to $24.7 million in the third quarter of the prior year
“Competitive pressures and challenging market conditions, as well as a handful of unusual weather-related events and natural disasters, hindered our performance during the quarter. However, the improvements we expected to drive performance in the second half, such as improved profitability in EMEA and the launch of our e-commerce capabilities, began to materialize in the third quarter, and we look for them to contribute to a stronger fourth quarter. Teams across our business are actively working to leverage our e-commerce capabilities and new product offerings to return the Company to profitable growth,” said Chief Executive Officer William Foley.

Foley continued, "The execution of our EMEA strategy helped drive sales and profitability improvement in the segment during the third quarter. Looking to the fourth quarter, we are anticipating year-over-year revenue growth, with growing sales contributions coming from the combined impact of new products as well as our new e-commerce platform. We expect these positive trends to continue into 2018, along with sustained improvement in the performance of our manufacturing operations."
Chief Financial Officer James Burmeister added, "Due to the continued decline in the performance of our Mexico reporting unit, relative to our expectations, together with the continued competitive pressures and long-term weakness of the peso relative to the U.S. dollar, we recognized a non-cash goodwill impairment charge in our Latin America reporting segment. While we are disappointed in the need to write off this goodwill, we continue to view our Latin America operations as a strategic asset that can contribute to improved business performance going forward."

Hurricane and earthquake events during the third quarter resulted in a combined negative revenue impact of approximately $4 million in the U.S. and Canada and Latin America segments.
Net sales in the U.S. and Canada segment declined 4.3 percent, driven by softer sales in the foodservice and retail channels, which were down 6.3 percent and 3.5 percent, respectively. U.S. and Canada business-to-business net sales were flat versus prior year.
In Latin America, net sales declined as a result of lower net sales in the business-to-business and retail channels, primarily due to lower volume that was partially offset by favorable price and mix, as well as growth in our foodservice channel.
Net sales in the EMEA segment were favorably impacted by increased volumes in the business-to-business channel and favorable price and mix in the segment.
Net sales in Other were down as a result of softer sales in China.
The Company’s effective tax rate was (3.6) percent for the third quarter of 2017, compared to 65.2 percent in the prior-year quarter. The change in the effective tax rate was driven by several items, including the non-deductible goodwill impairment charge, lower pretax income, the timing and mix of pretax income earned in tax jurisdictions with varying tax rates, and the impact of foreign exchange losses.

Net sales in the U.S. and Canada segment were lower due to softer retail and foodservice channel sales, which were down approximately 7 percent and 3 percent, respectively. U.S. and Canada business-to-business net sales increased compared to prior year approximately 2 percent, mainly as a result of increased volume, partially offset by unfavorable price and mix.
In Latin America, net sales declined as a result of lower net sales across the retail and business-to-business channels, specifically due to lower volume and unfavorable currency. The decline was partially offset by favorable price and mix.
Net sales in the EMEA segment decreased primarily as a result of unfavorable currency across all three channels. Improved price and mix offset decreases in volume in the segment.
Net sales in Other were down as a result of softer sales in China.
The Company’s effective tax rate was (2.0) percent for the first nine months of 2017, compared to 49.3 percent in the year-ago period. The change in the effective tax rate was driven by several items, including the non-deductible goodwill impairment charge, lower pretax income, the timing and mix of pretax income earned in tax jurisdictions with varying tax rates, and the impact of foreign exchange losses compared to gains in the prior period.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity
The Company had available capacity of $83.5 million under its ABL credit facility at September 30, 2017, with $8.7 million in loans outstanding and cash on hand of $21.6 million.
At September 30, 2017, Trade Working Capital (see Table 3), defined as inventories and accounts receivable less accounts payable, was $215.6 million, a decrease of $11.2 million from $226.8 million at September 30, 2016. The decrease was a result of lower accounts receivable and higher accounts payable, partially offset by higher inventories.
Commenting on the Company's balance sheet and liquidity position, Chief Financial Officer James Burmeister said, “The Company successfully managed to lower trade working capital compared to the prior year and repaid $6.1 million dollars on our Term Loan B debt during the quarter, as we continued to prioritize debt reduction.”

Outlook
Today the Company updated its full-year 2017 Adjusted EBITDA margin outlook (see Table 6) to reflect lower-than-expected third-quarter results, as well as its expectation for year-over-year sales growth in the fourth quarter. The Adjusted EBITDA margin for the full year is now expected to be in the 9 percent to 10 percent range. As previously guided, the Company still expects:
Net sales decline in the low-to-mid single digits, compared to the full-year 2016, on a reported basis
Capital expenditures of approximately $50 million
The Company expects to provide its preliminary full-year 2018 outlook in conjunction with the release of its fourth-quarter and full-year 2017 results early next year.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the condensed financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP), we use non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Free Cash Flow, Trade Working Capital, Adjusted Selling, General & Administrative Expense (Adjusted SG&A), Adjusted SG&A Margin and our Debt Net of Cash to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio. Reconciliations to the nearest U.S. GAAP measures of all non-GAAP measures included in this press release can be found in the tables below.

Our non-GAAP measures, as defined below, are used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to compare our performance with the performance of other companies that report similar non-GAAP measures. Libbey believes these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding financial performance by excluding certain expenses and benefits that may not be indicative of core business operating results. We believe the non-GAAP measures, when viewed in conjunction with U.S. GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations, enhance the comparability of results against prior periods and allow for additional transparency of financial results and business outlook. In addition, we use non-GAAP data internally to assess performance and facilitate management's internal comparison of our financial performance to that of prior periods, as well as trend analysis for budgeting and planning purposes. The presentation of our non-GAAP measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Furthermore, our non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies and may have limitations as an analytical tool. We define our non-GAAP measures as follows:

We define Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as U.S. GAAP net income (loss) plus interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and special items that Libbey believes are not reflective of our core operating performance.

We define Trade Working Capital as net accounts receivable plus net inventories less accounts payable.

We define Adjusted SG&A and Adjusted SG&A Margin as U.S. GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses less special items that Libbey believes are not reflective of our core operating performance.

We define our Debt Net of Cash to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio as gross debt before unamortized discount and finance fees, less cash and cash equivalents, divided by Adjusted EBITDA (defined above).

Constant Currency
We translate revenue and expense accounts in our non-U.S. operations at current average exchange rates during the year. References to "constant currency," "excluding currency impact" and "adjusted for currency" are considered non-GAAP measures. Constant currency references regarding net sales reflect a simple mathematical translation of local currency results using the comparable prior period’s currency conversion rate. Constant currency references regarding Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin comprise a simple mathematical translation of local currency results using the comparable prior period's currency conversion rate plus the transactional impact of changes in exchange rates from revenues, expenses and assets and liabilities that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency. We believe this non-GAAP constant currency information provides valuable supplemental information regarding our core operating results, better identifies operating trends that may otherwise be masked or distorted by exchange rate changes and provides a higher degree of transparency of information used by management in its evaluation of our ongoing operations. These non-GAAP measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to, the reported results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our currency market risks include currency fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar, Canadian dollar, Mexican peso, euro and RMB.

Caution on Forward-Looking Statements
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. 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 3, 2017. Important factors potentially affecting performance include but are not limited to risks related to increased competition from foreign suppliers endeavoring to sell glass tableware, ceramic dinnerware and metalware in our core markets; global economic conditions and the related impact on consumer spending levels; changes in trends in the restaurant and bar industry and the retail channel of distribution that impact demand for our products; 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; our ability to borrow under our ABL credit agreement; 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 exchange rate changes to the value of the euro, the Mexican peso, the RMB and the Canadian dollar and the earnings and cash flows of our international operations, expressed under U.S. GAAP; the effect of high levels of inflation in countries in which we operate or sell our products; and the inability to achieve savings and profit improvements at targeted levels in the Company's operations or within the intended time periods. 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.

(1) U.S. & Canada—includes sales of manufactured and sourced tableware having an end-market destination in the U.S and Canada excluding glass products for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM), which remain in the Latin America segment.
(2) Latin America—includes primarily sales of manufactured and sourced glass tableware having an end-market destination in Latin America, as well as glass products for OEMs regardless of end-market destination.
(3) EMEA—includes primarily sales of manufactured and sourced glass tableware having an end-market destination in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
(4) Other—includes primarily sales of manufactured and sourced glass tableware having an end-market destination in Asia Pacific.
(5) Segment EBIT represents earnings before interest and taxes and excludes amounts related to certain items we consider not representative of ongoing operations as well as certain retained corporate costs and other allocations that are not considered by management when evaluating performance. Segment EBIT also includes an allocation of manufacturing costs for inventory produced at a Libbey facility that is located in a region other than the end market in which the inventory is sold. This allocation can fluctuate from year to year based on the relative demands for products produced in regions other than the end markets in which they are sold.
(6) Retained corporate costs include certain headquarter, administrative and facility costs, and other costs that are not allocable to the reporting segments.
(7) In the first quarter of 2017, net sales and related costs for certain countries were reclassified between segments to align with changes in business unit responsibilities. Accordingly, 2016 segment results have been reclassified to conform to the current year structure. The revised 2016 segment results do not affect any previously reported consolidated financial results.
