PART I ITEM 1. BUSINESS GENERAL Libbey ("the Company") is a leading supplier of tableware products in the U.S. and Canada. The products are also exported to more than 75 countries. Libbey designs and markets, under the LIBBEY(R) brand name, an extensive line of high-quality glass tableware, ceramic dinnerware and metal flatware. Libbey also manufactures and markets ceramic dinnerware under the Syracuse China(R) brand name through its subsidiary Syracuse China. Through its World Tableware subsidiary, Libbey also imports and sells flatware, holloware and ceramic dinnerware. Through its joint venture, Vitrocrisa, the Company has established reciprocal distribution agreements giving Libbey exclusive distribution rights for Vitrocrisa's glass tableware products under the Crisa(R) brand name in the U.S. and Canada, and Vitrocrisa the exclusive distribution rights for Libbey's glass tableware products in Latin America. Libbey also has an agreement to be the exclusive distributor of Luigi Bormioli glassware in the U.S. and Canada to foodservice users. Luigi Bormioli is a highly regarded supplier of high-end glassware which is used in the finest eating and drinking establishments. Acquisitions have been and will be an important part of the strategy to grow sales and profits. The Company's strategy is to be a more global provider of glass tableware and a provider of a broader supply of products to the foodservice industry. This strategy is primarily focused on two fronts: 1) acquiring foodservice supply companies, enabling Libbey to become a broader supplier of products to its foodservice distributors and 2) leveraging its proprietary glass-making technology through joint ventures, outright acquisitions or new green meadow facilities for international glass tableware manufacturing. The acquisitions of the business of Libbey Canada (1993) and the joint venture investment in Vitrocrisa (1997) have made Libbey a leading supplier of glass tableware in North America. The acquisitions of Syracuse China (1995) and World Tableware (1997) have expanded the Company's portfolio of foodservice supply products. In June 2001, Libbey announced its intent to acquire the Anchor Hocking division of Newell Rubbermaid Inc. ("Newell Rubbermaid") for $332 million. Libbey deems the combination of the two long-standing American brands in glass tableware and the attendant synergies and cost savings to be significant. In the face of increasing and constant competitive challenge from abroad, Libbey believes its ability to compete and better service the broader needs of its customers would be enhanced as a result of the acquisition. 1 On July 20, 2001, the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") requested additional information regarding Libbey's proposed acquisition of the Anchor Hocking glassware operations of Newell Rubbermaid, which extended the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvement Act. Libbey responded to their request by providing the necessary additional information. On December 18, 2001, the United States FTC authorized its staff to file a complaint in the United States Federal District Court to seek a preliminary injunction to block Libbey's proposed acquisition of the Anchor Hocking business of Newell Rubbermaid. The FTC filed suit on January 14, 2002. In an attempt to comply with the FTC's objections and complete the purchase on terms that are acceptable to the parties and the FTC, Libbey and Newell Rubbermaid announced an amended purchase agreement on January 22, 2002, concerning the acquisition of the Anchor Hocking consumer and specialty glass business for approximately $277.5 million in cash. The amended transaction does not include the foodservice business of Anchor Hocking, which generated approximately $17 million in worldwide net sales in 2001, which will be retained by Newell Rubbermaid. Libbey has vigorously defended its rights in the federal court proceeding, which remains undecided. The Company anticipates the suit brought by the FTC will be resolved and the closing of the transaction will occur before April 30, 2002. PRODUCTS Libbey's tableware products consist of glass tableware, ceramic dinnerware, metal flatware and metal holloware. Libbey's glass tableware includes tumblers, stemware, mugs, plates, bowls, ashtrays, bud vases, salt and pepper shakers, canisters, candle holders and various other items. Vitrocrisa's glass tableware product assortment includes, in addition to the product types produced by Libbey, glass bakeware and handmade glass tableware. In addition, Vitrocrisa products include glass coffee pots, blender jars, meter covers and other industrial glassware sold principally to original equipment manufacturers. Through its distribution agreement with Luigi Bormioli, Libbey is a supplier of high-end glassware, which is used in the finest eating and drinking establishments. Through its Syracuse China and World Tableware subsidiaries, Libbey sells a wide range of ceramic dinnerware products. These include plates, bowls, platters, cups, saucers and other tableware accessories. Through its World Tableware subsidiary, Libbey sells an extensive selection of metal flatware. These include knives, forks, spoons and serving utensils. In addition, World Tableware sells metal holloware, which includes serving trays, chafing dishes, pitchers and other metal tableware accessories. 2 DOMESTIC SALES Approximately 89% of Libbey's sales are to domestic customers and are sold domestically for a broad range of uses. Libbey sells both directly to end users of the product and through networks of distributors and utilizes both a direct sales force and manufacturers' representatives. Libbey has the largest manufacturing, distribution and service network among North American glass tableware manufacturers. Libbey defines the U.S. glass tableware market to include glass beverageware, ovenware, cookware, dinnerware, serveware, floral items, items used for specialized packaging, specialized bottles, handmade glassware and lead crystal valued at less than $5 per piece. Libbey has, according to management estimates, the leading market share in glass tableware sales in U.S. foodservice applications. The majority of Libbey's tableware sales to foodservice end users are made through a network of approximately 500 foodservice distributors. The distributors, in turn, sell to a wide variety of foodservice establishments, including national and regional hotel chains, national restaurant chains, independently owned bars, restaurants and casinos. Syracuse China and World Tableware are recognized as long-established suppliers of high quality ceramic dinnerware and flatware, respectively. They are both among the leading suppliers of their respective product categories to foodservice end users. Libbey's leading customers in retail are mass merchants. In recent years, Libbey has been able to increase its total sales by increasing its sales to traditional department stores and specialty housewares stores. With this expanded retail representation, Libbey is better positioned to successfully introduce profitable new products. Libbey also sells imported dinnerware and metal flatware to retailers in the United States and Canada under the LIBBEY(R) brand name. Libbey sources this ceramic dinnerware and metal flatware by leveraging the relationships it has with its existing suppliers for World Tableware products for foodservice applications. Libbey operates four factory outlet stores located at or near each of its United States manufacturing locations. Libbey is a major supplier of glassware for industrial applications in the U.S., according to management estimates. Industrial uses include candle and gift packaging, floral purposes and lighting. The craft industries and gourmet food packing companies are also industrial consumers of glassware. Libbey has expanded its sales to industrial users by offering ceramic items. Libbey believes that its success with industrial applications is based on its extensive manufacturing and distribution network, which enables it to provide superior service, and its broad product offering, which allows Libbey to meet its customers' desire for differentiated glassware products. The production capabilities and broad product portfolio of Vitrocrisa enabled Libbey to expand its product offering for its industrial customers. Another application of Libbey's products is for use as a premium. Fast-food restaurant chains use glassware as incentives or premiums, as an example. Libbey believes that its success with premium customers is dependent upon custom design, varied production capabilities and the ability to produce large quantities of product in a short period of time. 3 Libbey also sells its tableware products to supermarket chains for continuity programs. In 2001, Libbey sold tableware products through continuity programs to approximately 5,400 supermarkets in the U.S. and Canada. INTERNATIONAL EXPANSION AND EXPORT SALES Libbey exports its products through independent agents and distributors to over 75 countries around the world, competing in the tableware markets of Latin America, Asia and Europe. Through its export operation, Libbey sells its tableware product to foodservice, retail and premium customers internationally. Libbey's export sales, which include sales to customers in Canada, represent approximately 11% of total sales in 2001. Libbey believes that expanding its sales to export markets represents an important growth opportunity for the future. Libbey currently has technical assistance agreements with companies covering operations in various countries. These agreements, which cover areas ranging from manufacturing and engineering assistance to support in functions such as marketing, sales and administration, allow Libbey to participate in the worldwide growth of the glass tableware industry and to keep abreast of potential sales and marketing opportunities in those countries. During 2001, Libbey's technical assistance agreements and licenses produced royalties of $3.7 million. Libbey also sells machinery, primarily glass-forming machinery, to certain parties with which it has technical assistance agreements. MANUFACTURING Libbey owns and operates three glass tableware manufacturing plants in the United States located in Toledo, Ohio; Shreveport, Louisiana and City of Industry, California. Libbey owns and operates a ceramic dinnerware plant in Syracuse, New York. Libbey operates distribution centers located at or near each of its manufacturing facilities (See "Properties"). In addition, Libbey operates distribution centers for its Vitrocrisa-supplied products in Laredo, Texas and World Tableware products near Chicago, Illinois. During 2001, Libbey invested more in state-of-the-art production equipment and facilities than any year in the Company's history, a record $35.2 million. The glass tableware manufacturing and distribution centers are strategically located (geographically) to enable Libbey to supply significant quantities of its product to virtually all of its customers in a short period of time. Libbey is the only glass tableware producer operating more than two manufacturing facilities in the United States. The manufacture of Libbey's glass tableware products involves the use of automated processes and technologies. Much of Libbey's glass tableware production machinery was designed by Libbey and has evolved and been continuously refined to incorporate technology advancements. During 2001, 4 Libbey developed and installed state-of-the-art stemware production equipment. Among the benefits are improved stemware features, including elegant and taller stems, more stylish designs, increased production speeds and a reduction in machine changeover time. Other new production equipment was purchased in 2001 for our glass tableware operations that will give Libbey similar benefits. In addition, Libbey has installed robotics technology in certain of its labor-intensive manufacturing processes. Libbey believes that its production machinery and equipment continue to be adequate for its needs in the foreseeable future. Libbey's glass tableware products are generally produced using one of two manufacturing methods or, in the case of certain stemware, a combination of such methods. Most of Libbey's tumblers and stemware and certain other glass tableware products are produced by forming molten glass in molds with the use of compressed air and are known as "blown" glass products. Libbey's other glass tableware products and the stems of certain of its 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 Libbey's Syracuse, New York production facility or imported by World Tableware from primarily China, Malaysia and Bangladesh. Libbey installed a new fast-fire kiln technology at Syracuse China during 2001, resulting in increased production speeds and yields, lower operating costs and a faster new product development cycle. The investment was the single largest capital project at Syracuse China since Libbey purchased the business in 1995. All metal flatware and metal holloware are sourced by Libbey's World Tableware subsidiary primarily from China, Indonesia, Japan, Korea and Thailand. Libbey employs a team of engineers whose responsibilities include efforts to improve and upgrade Libbey's manufacturing facilities, equipment and processes. In addition, they provide engineering required to manufacture new products and implement the large number of innovative changes continuously being made to Libbey's product designs, sizes and shapes. All of the raw materials used by Libbey, principally sand, lime, soda ash and clay, have historically been available in adequate supply from multiple sources. However, for certain raw materials, there may be temporary shortages due to weather or other factors, including disruptions in supply caused by raw material transportation or production delays. Such shortages have not previously had, and are not expected to have, a material adverse effect on Libbey's operations in the future. Natural gas is a primary source of energy in Libbey's production processes, and variability in the price for natural gas can have an impact on its profitability. Historically, the Company has used natural gas hedging contracts to partially mitigate this impact. SALES AND MARKETING Libbey has its own sales staff located strategically throughout the U.S. and Canada who call on customers and distributors. In addition, Libbey retains the services of approximately 25 manufacturing representatives' organizations. These manufacturing representatives' organizations 5 are in addition to over 80 Libbey sales professionals located in various metropolitan areas throughout the U.S. and Canada. The majority of Libbey's tableware sales to foodservice end users are made through approximately 500 distributors, who serve a vital function in the distribution of Libbey's products and with whom Libbey works closely in connection with marketing and selling efforts. Most of Libbey's retail, industrial and premium market sales are made directly by Libbey's own sales force. Libbey also has a marketing staff located at its corporate headquarters in Toledo, Ohio engaged in developing strategies relating to product development, pricing, distribution, advertising and sales promotion. CUSTOMERS The customers for Libbey's tableware products include approximately 500 foodservice distributors. In addition, Libbey sells to mass merchants, department stores, retail distributors, national retail chains and specialty housewares stores, supermarkets and industrial companies and others who use Libbey's products for promotional and other private uses. No single customer or group of customers accounts for 10% or more of Libbey's sales, although the loss of any of Libbey's major customers could have a material effect on Libbey. Sales for premium applications tend to be more unpredictable from year to year; and Libbey is less dependent on such business than it is on sales to foodservice, retail and industrial customers. COMPETITORS Libbey's business is highly competitive, with the principal competitive factors being customer service, brand name, product quality, delivery time and price. Competitors in glass tableware include among others Arc International, a private French company; Indiana Glass Company (a unit of Lancaster Colony Corporation); Oneida Ltd. and Anchor Hocking (a unit of Newell Rubbermaid Inc.). Arc International distributes glass tableware to U.S. foodservice customers through Cardinal International, Inc. Indiana Glass Company manufactures in the United States and sells a wide variety of glassware. Oneida Ltd. operates by sourcing glass tableware from foreign manufacturers, including Pasabahce (Turkey), Schott (Germany) and Calp (Italy). Anchor Hocking is primarily a supplier of glass beverageware and bakeware to retail markets in the U.S. In recent years, Libbey has experienced increasing competition from foreign glass tableware manufacturers, including Arc International (France), Kedaung (Indonesia), and Pasabahce (Turkey) as well as various factories from the People's Republic of China. In addition, other materials, such as plastics, also compete with glassware. Competitors in U.S. ceramic dinnerware include among others Homer Laughlin (a private U.S. company) and Rego China and Buffalo China (units of Oneida Ltd.). Competitors in metal flatware are Oneida Ltd. and various importing companies. Some of Libbey's competitors have substantially greater financial and other resources than Libbey. 6 PATENTS, TRADEMARKS AND LICENSES Based upon market research and market surveys, Libbey believes its Libbey trade name as well as product shapes and styles enjoy a high degree of consumer recognition and are valuable assets. Libbey believes that the Libbey, Syracuse China and World Tableware trade names are material to its business. Libbey has rights under a number of patents which relate to a variety of products and processes. Libbey does not consider that any patent or group of patents relating to a particular product or process is of material importance to its business as a whole. SEASONALITY Due primarily to the impact of consumer buying patterns and production activity, Libbey's profits tend to be strongest in the third quarter and weakest in the first quarter of each year. As a consequence, profits typically range between 41% and 47% in the first half of each year and 53% to 59% in the second half of the year. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS Libbey's operations, in common with those of industry generally, are subject to numerous existing and proposed laws and governmental regulations designed to protect the environment, particularly regarding plant wastes and emissions and solid waste disposal. Libbey has shipped, and continues to ship, waste materials for off-site disposal. Although Libbey is not named as a potentially responsible party with respect to any waste disposal site matters pending prior to June 24, 1993, the date of Libbey's 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 Libbey may also have shipped wastes and bears some responsibility. Owens-Illinois has agreed to defend and hold harmless the Company against any costs or liabilities it may incur in connection with any such matters identified and pending as of June 24, 1993 and to indemnify it for any liability which results from these matters in excess of $3 million. Libbey believes that if it is necessary to draw upon this indemnification, collection is probable. Pursuant to the indemnification agreement, Owens-Illinois is defending the Company with respect to the King Road landfill. In January 1999, a suit was instituted by the Board of Lucas County Ohio Commissioners against Owens-Illinois, the Company and numerous other defendants (59 companies named in the complaint as potentially responsible parties) in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio seeking to recover contribution for past and future costs incurred by the County in response to the release or threatened release of hazardous substances 7 at the King Road landfill formerly operated and closed by the County. The complaint was dismissed without prejudice in October 2000 and at the time of the dismissal it was anticipated the suit would be refiled at a future date when more information as to the appropriate environmental remedy becomes available. However, as of this date, refiling of the suit does not appear imminent and the attorneys for the Lucas County Commissioners and the attorneys for the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency are still discussing remedies. Subsequent to June 24, 1993, Libbey has been named a potentially responsible party at four other sites, all of which have been settled for immaterial amounts. No further sums are expected to be paid with respect to these sites unless unusual and unanticipated contingencies occur. Through a subsidiary, Syracuse China Company, the Company acquired on October 10, 1995 from The Pfaltzgraff Co. and certain of its subsidiary corporations the assets operated as Syracuse China. The Pfaltzgraff Co. entered into an Order on Consent effective November 1, 1994 with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) which requires Pfaltzgraff to prepare a Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study (RI/FS) to develop a remedial action plan for the site (which includes among other items a landfill and wastewater and sludge ponds and adjacent wetlands located on the property purchased by Syracuse China Company) and to remediate the site. As part of the Asset Purchase Agreement the Syracuse China Company agreed to share a part of the remediation and related expense up to a maximum of fifty percent of such costs with a maximum limit for Syracuse China Company of $1,350,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing Syracuse China Company is not a party to the decree. Construction of the approved remedy began in 2000 and is expected to be completed in 2002. In addition, Syracuse China Company has been named as a potentially responsible party by reason of its potential ownership of certain property adjoining its plant, which has been designated a sub-site of a superfund site. Libbey believes that any contamination of such sub-site was caused by and will be remediated by other parties at no cost to Syracuse China. Such other parties have acquired ownership of the sub-site which should end any responsibility of Syracuse China with respect to the sub-site. In any event, any expense with respect to such sub-site for which Syracuse China may be deemed responsible would likely be shared with Pfaltzgraff pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement. Libbey regularly reviews the facts and circumstances of the various environmental matters affecting Libbey, including those which are covered by indemnification. Although not free of uncertainties, Libbey believes that its share of the remediation costs at the various sites, 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, will not be material to Libbey. There can be no assurance, however, that Libbey's future expenditures in such regard will not have a material adverse effect on Libbey's 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 Libbey on the exterior surface of its decorated products. Capital expenditures for 8 property, plant and equipment for environmental control activities were not material during 2001. Libbey believes that it is in material compliance with all federal, state and local environmental laws, and Libbey is not aware of any regulatory initiatives that would be expected to have a material effect on Libbey's products or operations. NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES Libbey employed approximately 3,200 persons at December 31, 2001. A majority of the glass tableware employees are U.S.-based hourly workers covered by six collective bargaining agreements, which were entered into in the fourth quarter of 2001 and expire at various times during the fourth quarter of 2004 at two manufacturing locations and the fourth quarter of 2006 at the third manufacturing location. The ceramic dinnerware hourly employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement, which expires in March 2002 and negotiations are ongoing at the date of filing. Libbey considers its employee relations to be good. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES The following information sets forth the location of the Company's principal manufacturing and distribution facilities at December 31, 2001. The Company also operates distribution facilities at or near each of its manufacturing facilities as well as at the distribution centers set forth below: MANUFACTURING FACILITIES ------------------------ Syracuse, New York Toledo, Ohio Shreveport, Louisiana City of Industry, California DISTRIBUTION CENTERS -------------------- Vitrocrisa - Laredo, Texas World Tableware - West Chicago, Illinois The Company's headquarters, the World Tableware offices, some warehouses, sales offices and outlet stores are located in leased space. All of the Company's operating properties are currently being utilized for their intended purpose and are owned in fee. The Company believes that its facilities are well maintained and adequate for its planned production requirements at those facilities over the next three to five years. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company is involved in various routine legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business. In addition, in July, the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") announced their intent to investigate the 9 proposed Anchor Hocking acquisition previously described. The FTC eventually challenged the transaction late in the year, focusing on the foodservice component of Anchor's business, which generated approximately $17 million in net sales in 2001. The FTC filed a complaint seeking a preliminary injunction in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia on January 14, 2002, to block the merger. A restructured transaction was announced January 22, 2002, and the Company believed it responded to the FTC's issue. Libbey agreed to buy the retail and specialty glass business of Anchor Hocking with sales of $186 million in 2001, and agreed to have no part in Anchor Hocking's foodservice business. The purchase price for the remaining consumer and specialty glass businesses of Anchor Hocking was reduced to $277.5 million. Libbey would continue to purchase the two manufacturing facilities of Anchor Hocking. The foodservice business including molds used in the manufacture of the foodservice glass tableware would be left with Newell Rubbermaid, and they would outsource their production needs, as commonly done by other key players in the glass tableware industry. Libbey defended its rights in a federal court proceeding. At filing time of this report, we had no decision from the judge. A negative ruling in the Anchor Hocking judicial proceeding could result in a write-off of acquisition-related costs totaling approximately $11 to $12 million pretax. No other legal proceeding the Company is engaged in would be deemed to be material to the Company. ITEM 4.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS HISTORICAL FINANCIAL DATA The following table presents certain results of operations data for Libbey for the periods indicated:
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, (Dollars in thousands) 2001 2000 1999 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net sales $419,594 $441,828 $460,592 Gross profit $114,424 $138,099 $138,959 As a percent of sales 27.3% 31.3% 30.2% Income from operations - excluding capacity realignment charge $ 62,449 $ 81,598 $ 79,225 As a percent of sales 14.9% 18.5% 17.2% Income from operations - after capacity realignment charge $ 62,449 $ 81,598 $ 78,234 As a percent of sales 14.9% 18.5% 17.0% Earnings before interest and income taxes $ 68,592 $ 92,695 $ 87,104 As a percent of sales 16.3% 21.0% 18.9% Net income $ 39,392 $ 46,866 $ 43,428 As a percent of sales 9.4% 10.6% 9.4% -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Management is not aware of any events or uncertainties that are likely to have a material impact on the company's prospective results of operations or financial condition; however, another terrorist attack on the United States could cause a major slowdown in the retail, travel, restaurant and bar industries. In addition, a negative ruling in the Anchor Hocking judicial proceeding could result in a write-off of acquisition-related costs totaling approximately $11 to $12 million pretax. The modest rate of inflation experienced over the last three years has not had a significant effect on the company's financial results. Significant increases in inflation in the future could have a material impact on the company's financial results if it is not able to raise prices to its customers. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS COMPARISON OF 2001 WITH 2000 Net sales for 2001 were $419.6 million compared to net sales of $441.8 million in 2000. Solid growth in retail sales only partially offset lower sales to industrial customers, as a result of sluggish economic conditions, and the negative impact on sales to foodservice customers related to the events of September 11, 2001. Libbey's export sales, which include sales in Canada, decreased to $47.7 million from $51.8 million in 2000. This decrease was the result of the impact of a strong U.S. dollar on the price competitiveness of the company's products and weak economic conditions in key export markets. 14 GROSS PROFIT (defined as net sales plus freight billed to customers less cost of sales) was $114.4 million in 2001 compared to $138.1 million in 2000 and as a percent of net sales was 27.3% in 2001 compared to 31.3% in 2000. Reduced sales, an unfavorable sales mix, higher energy costs and lower utilization of the company's glassware plants related to efforts to control inventories were the primary contributors to lower gross profit. INCOME FROM OPERATIONS was $62.4 million in 2001 compared to $81.6 million in 2000 and as a percent of net sales was 14.9% compared to 18.5% in the year-ago period. An 8.9% reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses to $55.7 million from $61.2 million only partially offset the reduction in gross profit. EARNINGS BEFORE INTEREST AND INCOME TAXES (EBIT) was $68.6 million in 2001 compared to $92.7 million in 2000 and as a percent of net sales was 16.3% compared to 21.0% in the year-ago period. The decrease was attributable to a decline in income from operations and lower equity earnings due to lower operating profits at Vitrocrisa, the company's joint venture in Mexico. Vitrocrisa's lower profits were attributable to lower sales resulting from a weaker economy in Mexico and the negative impact of a strong Mexican peso on domestic and international sales, higher energy costs and lower factory utilization. NET INCOME was $39.4 million in 2001 compared with $46.9 million in 2000 and as a percent of net sales was 9.4% compared to 10.6% in the year-ago period. Lower interest expense and a reduction in the effective tax rate to 33.5% from 41.8% in the year-ago period only partially offset reduced income from operations and lower equity earnings. The reduction in the company's effective tax rate is primarily attributable to lower foreign taxes and state tax credits related to capital expansion programs. COMPARISON OF 2000 WITH 1999 Net sales for 2000 were $441.8 million compared to net sales of $460.6 million in 1999. In 1999, both glassware and dinnerware sales were positively impacted by approximately $14 million in non-repeat sales of product associated with the millennium. In addition, sales in 2000 were impacted by a slowdown in retail sales late in the fourth quarter and by the company's decision to exit certain low-margin retail business which totaled $12.5 million in 1999. Libbey's export sales, which include sales to Libbey's customers in Canada, decreased to $51.8 million from $56.2 million in 1999. The decrease was the result of lower sales to customers in Canada partially offset by the increase in sales to other export customers. A decrease in bottleware sales due to the decision to exit this low-margin business also contributed. GROSS PROFIT (defined as net sales plus freight billed to customers less cost of sales) was $138.1 million in 2000 compared to $139.0 million in 1999 and increased as a percent of net sales to 31.3% from 30.2% over this period. Sale of higher margin products and expense reductions in other areas, including energy savings initiatives, helped to offset lower sales and the substantial increase in the price for natural gas and smaller increases in corrugated packaging prices. INCOME FROM OPERATIONS increased 4.3% to $81.6 million in 2000 from $78.2 million in 1999 and increased as a percent of net sales to 18.5% from 17.0% in the year-ago period. Excluding the 15 effect of the capacity realignment charge in 1999, income from operations would have totaled $79.2 million in the year-ago period, or an improvement of 3.0% in 2000. The increase was the result of lower administrative expenses which more than offset the reduction in gross profit. EARNINGS BEFORE INTEREST AND INCOME TAXES (EBIT) increased 6.4% to $92.7 million in 2000 from $87.1 million in 1999 and increased as a percent of net sales to 21.0% from 18.9% in the year-ago period. Excluding the capacity realignment charge, EBIT would have been $88.1 million in 1999. The increase was attributable to higher income from operations and higher equity earnings from the company's joint venture in Mexico. NET INCOME increased 7.9% to an all-time record $46.9 million from $43.4 million in 1999 and increased as a percent of net sales to the highest level since the company went public in 1993 of 10.6% from 9.4% in the year-ago period. Excluding the impact of the capacity realignment charge, net income would have been $44.1 million in 1999. The increase is attributable to higher income from operations as a result of the continued benefits of capacity realignment efforts, lower administrative expense and higher equity earnings. CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY Libbey's financial condition at year-end 2001 reflects the effects of the company's improved cash flow, as operating income and reduced working capital requirements more than offset the impact of significantly higher capital spending. Net cash provided by operating activities increased to $51.3 million from $36.9 million in 2000. Compared to the year-ago period, inventories decreased $7.6 million with reduced production by the company in the fourth quarter being a contributing factor. Reductions in accounts receivable of $7.7 million and higher accounts payable compared to the year-ago period also contributed to a strong performance in reducing working capital and increasing cash flow. Capital expenditures were $35.2 million in 2001 compared with $18.1 million in 2000 with investments in higher-productivity machinery and equipment a key contributor. Capital expenditures for 2002 are expected to be in the range of $17.0 to $20.0 million. Cash of $1.2 million was used by the company to repurchase 42,000 shares of its common stock in 2001. Since mid-1998, the company has repurchased 2,689,400 shares for $75.4 million. Board authorization remains for the purchase of an additional 935,600 shares at year-end. Libbey had total debt of $148.0 million at December 31, 2001, compared with $161.4 million at December 31, 2000. The decrease was primarily attributable to the net cash provided from operations. Libbey had additional debt capacity of $232.2 million at December 31, 2001, under the Bank Credit Agreement. Libbey has entered into interest rate protection agreements with respect to $100.0 million of its debt. The average interest rate for the company's borrowings related to the interest rate protection agreements is 6.2% with an average maturity of 3.3 years at December 31, 2001. 16 Of Libbey's outstanding indebtedness, $45.4 million is subject to fluctuating interest rates at December 31, 2001. A change of one percentage point in such rates would result in a change in interest expense of approximately $0.5 million on an annual basis. The company is not aware of any trends, demands, commitments or uncertainties that will result or that are reasonably likely to result in a material change in Libbey's liquidity. The company believes that its cash from operations and available borrowings under the Bank Credit Agreement will be sufficient to fund its operating requirements, capital expenditures and all other obligations (including debt service and dividends) throughout the remaining term of the Bank Credit Agreement. On January 31, 2002, the company entered into an amended agreement for new senior credit facilities ("New Credit Facilities") totaling $575.0 million related to the company's announced acquisition of the Anchor Hocking glassware operations of Newell Rubbermaid Inc. When funded, the New Credit Facilities will replace the existing Bank Credit Agreement. The New Credit Facilities are comprised of a $311.3 million Revolving Credit Facility that matures five years from the initial funding, a $143.7 million Term Loan A Facility that matures five years from the initial funding and a $120.0 million Term Loan B Facility that matures seven years from the initial funding. The company expects the initial funding to be in the second quarter, 2002. If the Anchor Hocking acquisition does not occur and funding under the New Credit Facilities is not available, the company expects to refinance the Bank Credit Agreement in April 2002 on a long-term basis and is in the process of obtaining such financing commitments. In September 2001, the company issued a $2.7 million promissory note in connection with the purchase of a warehouse facility. During 2002, $0.1 million of the principal is payable. The following table presents the company's existing contractual obligations and commercial commitments: CONTRACTUAL 2 - 3 4 - 5 AFTER 5 OBLIGATIONS TOTAL 1 YEAR YEARS YEARS YEARS ----------- ----- ------ ----- ----- ----- Debt $145.6 $143.1 $0.2 $0.3 $2.0 Operating Leases 21.5 5.4 8.1 3.6 4.4 ------ ------ ---- ---- ---- Total Obligations $167.1 $148.5 $8.3 $3.9 $6.4 NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD Effective January 1, 2002, the company is required to adopt SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," which requires goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets to no longer be amortized but reviewed annually for impairment, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. 17 Intangible assets with lives restricted by contractual, legal or other means will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. Amortization of goodwill and other intangibles for 2001 was $3,220 and $304, respectively. Although the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 142 has not been finalized, the company expects a positive impact of approximately $0.15 per share after tax in 2002. The company does not expect to have any impairment losses. ITEM 7a. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The company is exposed to market risks due to changes in currency values, although the majority of the company's revenues and expenses are denominated in the U.S. dollar. The currency market risks include devaluations and other major currency fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar 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 impact of those changes on the earnings and cash flow of the company's joint venture in Mexico, Vitrocrisa, expressed under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The company is exposed to market risk associated with changes in interest rates in the U.S. and has entered into Interest Rate Protection Agreements ("Rate Agreements") with respect to $100.0 million of debt as a means to manage its exposure to fluctuating interest rates. The Rate Agreements effectively convert this portion of the company's borrowings from variable rate debt to a fixed-rate basis, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future income. The average interest rate for the company's borrowings related to the Rate Agreements at December 31, 2001, was 6.2% for an average remaining period of 3.3 years. Total remaining debt not covered by the Rate Agreements has fluctuating interest rates with a weighted average rate of 2.3% at December 31, 2001. The company had $45.4 million of debt subject to fluctuating interest rates at December 31, 2001. A change of one percentage point in such rates would result in a change in interest expense of approximately $0.5 million on an annual basis. If the counterparts to these Rate Agreements fail to perform, the company would no longer be protected from interest rate fluctuations by these Rate Agreements. However, the company does not anticipate nonperformance by the counterparts. At December 31, 2001, the company's debt outstanding under its Bank Credit Agreement is classified as short term, as the Bank Credit Agreement matures in May 2002. The company expects to refinance the Bank Credit Agreement in April 2002 on a long-term basis. The fair value of the company's Rate Agreements is determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted expected future variable cash receipts and the discounted future fixed cash payments. The variable cash receipts are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observed market interest rate forward curves. The company does not expect to cancel these agreements and expects them to expire as originally contracted. Effective January 1, 2001, the company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS No. 133), as amended, 18 and recognizes all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The fair market value for the company's Rate Agreements at December 31, 2001, was $(4.8) million. In addition to the Rate Agreements, the company has other derivatives as discussed below. The company has designated these derivative instruments as cash flow hedges. As such, the changes in fair value of these derivative instruments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings as the underlying hedged transaction or item affects earnings. At December 31, 2001, approximately $4.7 million of unrealized net loss was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The company believes that of its significant accounting policies (see Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements), the following may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity. DERIVATIVES The company holds derivative financial instruments to hedge certain of its 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 have been designated as cash flow hedges and qualify for hedge accounting as discussed in detail in Notes 3 and 9 to the consolidated financial statements. As such, the fair value of these cash flow hedges are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value with a corresponding change in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of related tax effects. The company does not participate in speculative derivatives trading. While the company intends to continue to meet the conditions for hedge accounting, if hedges do not qualify as highly effective or if the company does not believe that forecasted transactions would occur, the changes in the fair value of the derivatives used as hedges would be reflected in earnings. Information about fair values, notional amounts and contractual terms of these instruments can be found in Notes 3 and 9 to the company's consolidated financial statements and the section titled "Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk." The company does not believe it is exposed to more than a nominal amount of credit risk in its interest rate, natural gas and foreign currency hedges as the counterparts are established financial institutions. PENSION PLANS AND NONPENSION RETIREMENT BENEFITS The company accounts for its defined benefit pension plans in accordance with SFAS No. 87, "Employers' Accounting for Pensions," which requires that amounts recognized in financial statements be determined on an actuarial basis. The company has not made contributions to the pension plans since their inception in 1993 as the plans are fully funded. 19 A significant element in determining the company's pension income (expense) in accordance with SFAS No. 87 is the expected return on plan assets. The company has assumed that the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets will be 10.0%. Since the pension plans' inception in 1993, the company's pension plan assets have earned an average annual return of 10.8%; therefore, the company believes that its assumption of future returns of 10.0% is reasonable. The assumed long-term rate of return on assets is applied to a calculated value of plan assets, which 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 income (expense). The difference between the 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 income (expense). The plan assets have earned an actual rate of return of less than 10.0% in the last two years. Pension income in 2002 is expected to decline to $3.7 million from $7.9 million in 2001 and $7.0 million in 2000. This is a result of the lower return on plan assets, additional benefits granted to unionized employees during labor negotiations in 2001 and a change in the discount rate discussed below. At the end of each year, the company determines the discount rate to be used to discount plan liabilities. The discount rate reflects the current rate at which the pension liabilities could be effectively settled at the end of the current year. In estimating this rate, the company reviews rates of return on high quality, fixed-income investments as a benchmark. At December 31, 2001, the company determined this rate to be 7.5%. The discount rate used in 2000 was 7.75%. The effect of each .25% change in the discount rate would be lower pension income of approximately $0.3 million. At December 31, 2001, the company's consolidated prepaid pension asset was $198.4 million down from $222.6 million at the end of 2000. The company also provides certain postretirement health care and life insurance benefits covering substantially all salaried and 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 retirement benefits of company retirees who had retired as of June 18, 1993. The company uses various actuarial assumptions including the discount rate and the expected trend in health care costs to estimate the costs and benefit obligations for its retiree health plan. In estimating the discount rate, the company reviews rates of return on high quality, fixed-income investments as a benchmark. At December 31, 2001, the company determined this rate to be 7.5%. The discount rate used in 2000 was 7.75%. The effect of each .25% change in the discount rate would be higher retiree health care expense of approximately $0.1 million. 20 In 2001, the company recorded income for nonpension retirement benefit costs of $0.04 million, as compared to $0.9 million in 2000. The company expects to record a $1.0 million expense in 2002 for nonpension retirement benefit costs. SALES INCENTIVE PROGRAMS The company offers various sales incentive programs to a broad base of customers. These programs typically offer incentives for purchase activities by customers that include growth objectives. The company records accruals for these incentives as sales occur. Criteria for payment include customers achieving certain purchase targets and purchasing particular product types. Management regularly reviews the adequacy of the accruals based on current customer purchases, targeted purchases and payout levels. The majority of amounts paid to customers typically occur in the third quarter. OTHER INFORMATION On June 18, 2001, Libbey announced a definitive agreement to acquire the Anchor Hocking glassware operations of Newell Rubbermaid Inc. ("Newell Rubbermaid"). The transaction valued at $332 million was to be paid in cash. On July 20, 2001, the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") began requesting additional information regarding Libbey's proposed acquisition of the Anchor Hocking glassware operations of Newell Rubbermaid, which extended the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvement Act. Libbey responded to their request by providing the necessary additional information. On December 18, 2001, the United States FTC authorized its staff to file a complaint in the United States Federal District Court seeking a preliminary injunction to block Libbey's proposed acquisition of the Anchor Hocking business of Newell Rubbermaid. In an attempt to comply with the FTC's complaint and complete the purchase on terms that are acceptable to the parties and the FTC, Libbey and Newell Rubbermaid announced an amended purchase agreement on January 22, 2002, concerning the acquisition of the Anchor Hocking consumer and specialty glass business for approximately $277.5 million in cash. The amended transaction does not include the foodservice business of Anchor Hocking, which generated approximately $17 million in worldwide net sales in 2001, which will be retained and operated by Newell Rubbermaid. Libbey defended its rights in a federal court proceeding, which remains undecided. The company anticipates the lawsuit brought by the FTC will be resolved and the closing of the transaction will occur before April 30, 2002. A negative ruling in the federal court proceeding could result in a write-off of acquisition-related costs totaling approximately $11 to $12 million pretax. This document and supporting schedules contain "forward-looking" statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements only reflect 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, that actual results may differ materially from such statements and that investors should not place undue reliance on such statements. 21 Important factors potentially affecting performance include major slowdowns in the retail, travel, restaurant and bar or entertainment industries in the United States, Canada or Mexico, including the impact of the terrorist attacks in the United States of September 11, 2001, on the retail, travel, restaurant and bar or entertainment industries; significant increases in interest rates that increase the company's borrowing costs and per-unit increases in the costs for natural gas, corrugated packaging and other purchased materials; devaluations and other major currency fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar 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 expressed under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and cash flow of the company's joint venture in Mexico, Vitrocrisa; the inability to achieve savings and profit improvements at targeted levels at the company and Vitrocrisa from capacity realignment, re-engineering and operational restructuring programs or within the intended time periods; protracted work stoppages related to collective bargaining agreements; increased competition from foreign suppliers endeavoring to sell glass tableware in the United States; whether the company completes any significant acquisition, including the Anchor Hocking acquisition and whether such acquisitions can operate profitably. 22 ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA PAGE ---- Report of Management 24 Report of Independent Auditors 25 Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2001 and 2000 26 For the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999: Consolidated Statements of Income 28 Consolidated Statements of Shareholders' Equity 29 Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows 30 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 31 Selected Quarterly Financial Data 51 23 REPORT OF MANAGEMENT The management of Libbey Inc. is responsible for the contents of the financial statements, which are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The consolidated financial statements necessarily include amounts based on judgments and estimates. Financial information elsewhere in the annual report (Form 10-K) is consistent with that in the financial statements. The company maintains a comprehensive accounting system, which includes controls designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the integrity and reliability of the financial records and the protection of assets. However, there are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of internal controls, and, therefore, the company takes other steps to maintain an effective internal control structure. These steps include an organization with clearly defined lines of responsibility and delegation of authority and comprehensive systems and control procedures. The role of the independent auditors is to provide an objective review of the financial statements and the underlying transactions in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, comprised solely of Directors who are not members of management, meets regularly with management and the independent auditors to ensure that their respective responsibilities are properly discharged. The independent auditors have full and free access to the Audit Committee. /s/ John F. Meier John F. Meier Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer /s/ Kenneth G. Wilkes Kenneth G. Wilkes Vice President and Chief Financial Officer 24 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND SHAREHOLDERS LIBBEY INC. We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Libbey Inc. as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the index at Item 14(a). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits. We did not audit the 2001 consolidated and combined financial statements of Vitrocrisa Holding, S. de R.L. de C.V. and Subsidiaries and Crisa Libbey, S.A. de C.V. and the 2000 financial statements of Vitrocrisa S. de R.L. de C.V., corporations in which the Company has 49% equity interests, which statements reflect total assets of $254.2 million and $230.0 million as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to data included for Vitrocrisa Holding, S. de R.L. de C.V. and Subsidiaries and Crisa Libbey, S.A. de C.V. in 2001 and Vitrocrisa S. de R.L. de C.V. in 2000, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the 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, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Libbey Inc. at December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. 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.

See accompanying notes 30 LIBBEY INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER-SHARE AMOUNTS) 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Libbey Inc. and all wholly owned subsidiaries ("the Company"). The Company records its 49% interest in certain companies using the equity method. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BUSINESS The Company operates in one business segment, tableware products. The Company designs, manufactures and markets an extensive line of high-quality, machine-made glass beverageware, other glass tableware and ceramic dinnerware to a broad group of customers in the foodservice, retail, industrial and premium areas. Most of the Company's sales are to customers in North America. The Company also imports and distributes ceramic dinnerware and flatware and has a 49% interest in a glass tableware manufacturer in Mexico. INVENTORY VALUATION The Company uses the last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost method of inventory valuation for 61.4% of its inventories in 2001 and 56.5% in 2000. If inventories valued on the LIFO method had been valued at standard or average costs, which approximate current costs, inventories would be higher than reported by $10,535 and $7,851 at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The remaining inventories are valued at either standard or average cost, which approximate current costs. GOODWILL Goodwill, which results from the excess of purchase cost over the fair value of net assets acquired, is being amortized over 40 years. The carrying value of goodwill is reviewed to determine if facts and circumstances suggest that goodwill may be impaired or that the amortization period may need to be changed. The Company considers external factors relating to businesses to which the goodwill relates. If these external factors and the projected undiscounted cash flows over the remaining amortization period indicate that goodwill will not be recoverable, the carrying value will be adjusted to the estimated fair value. INTANGIBLES Intangibles result from valuations assigned by independent appraisers for future revenues from technical assistance agreements and trademarks acquired. 31 DEFERRED SOFTWARE Deferred software represents the costs of internally developed and purchased software packages for internal use plus the costs associated with the installation of software. These costs are amortized over five years. The Company periodically reviews software to assess plans to replace the existing programs before the five years, in which case the amortization would be accelerated. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Major improvements are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally 3 to 10 years for equipment and furnishings and 20 to 40 years for buildings and improvements. STOCK OPTIONS The Company accounts for employee stock options in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." INCOME TAXES Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred 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 credit carryforwards. Deferred 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. REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenue is recognized, net of estimated discounts and allowances, when the products are shipped and title to the products passes to the customer. The Company generally does not accept a return unless it is preauthorized. ROYALTIES AND NET TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE Royalties and net technical assistance income are accrued based on the terms of the respective agreements, which typically specify that a percentage of the licensee's sales be paid to the Company monthly, quarterly or semi-annually in exchange for the Company's assistance with manufacturing and engineering and support in functions such as marketing, sales and administration. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION Effective January 1, 2001, the remaining activities of the Company's wholly owned Canadian sales subsidiary are recorded with the U.S. dollar as the functional currency. The 49% investments in Vitrocrisa, S. de R.L. de C.V. and related Mexican companies are accounted for using the equity method with the U.S. dollar as the functional currency. OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS) Other comprehensive income (loss) for the Company consisted of foreign currency translation adjustment prior to 2001. In 2001, other comprehensive income (loss) includes fair value changes of derivatives and a net minimum pension liability in connection with a non-qualified, non-funded pension obligation, net of tax. Disclosure of comprehensive income (loss) is incorporated into the Consolidated Statements of Shareholders' Equity for all years presented. 32 NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS Effective June 30, 2001, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, "Business Combinations" changes the accounting for business combinations to eliminate the pooling-of-interests method and requires all business combinations to be accounted for using the purchase method. SFAS No. 141 also requires intangible assets that arise from contractual or other legal rights, or that are capable of being separated or divided from the acquired entity be recognized separately from goodwill. Existing intangible assets and goodwill that were acquired in a prior purchase business combination must be evaluated, and any necessary reclassifications must be made effective January 1, 2002, in order to conform to the new criteria for recognition apart from goodwill. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 141 to have a material effect on its consolidated results of operations or financial position. Effective January 1, 2002, the Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," which requires goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets to no longer be amortized but reviewed annually for impairment, 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. Amortization of goodwill and other intangibles for 2001 was $3,220 and $304, respectively. Although the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 142 has not been finalized, the Company expects a positive impact of approximately $0.15 per share after tax in 2002. The Company does not expect to have any impairment losses. Effective January 1, 2002, the Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," which supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of," and provides a single accounting model for long-lived assets which are to be disposed. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 144 to have a material effect on its consolidated results of operations or financial position. TREASURY STOCK Treasury stock purchases are recorded at cost. During 2001, 2000 and 1999, the Company purchased 42,000, 149,400 and 1,623,000 shares of stock at an average cost of $29.26, $27.13 and $26.39, respectively. 33 INCOME PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:
================================================================================================================= Year ended December 31, 2001 2000 1999 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Numerator for diluted earnings per share -- net income that is available to common shareholders $ 39,392 $ 46,866 $ 43,428 Denominator for basic earnings per share -- weighted-average shares outstanding 15,296,289 15,253,726 16,151,169 Effect of dilutive securities - employee stock options 247,996 293,327 325,834 Denominator for diluted earnings per share -- adjusted weighted-average shares and assumed conversions 15,544,285 15,547,053 16,477,003 Basic earnings per share $ 2.58 $ 3.07 $ 2.69 Diluted earnings per share $ 2.53 $ 3.01 $ 2.64 =================================================================================================================
3. ACCOUNTING CHANGE Effective January 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" as amended by SFAS Nos. 137 and 138 (collectively SFAS No. 133), which requires companies to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and measure such instruments at fair value. The Company recorded a cumulative transition adjustment to decrease other comprehensive income (loss) by $1,044 less tax of $371 to recognize the fair value of its derivative instruments at January 1, 2001. During 2001, the Company decreased other comprehensive income (loss) by an additional $5,990 for net changes in the fair value of derivatives less tax of $1,921, which results in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to derivatives at December 31, 2001, of $(7,034) less tax of $2,292, or $(4,742). The Company holds derivative financial instruments to hedge certain of its 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 qualify for hedge accounting since the hedges are highly effective and the Company has designated and documented the hedging relationships involving these derivative instruments. While the Company intends to continue to meet the conditions for hedge accounting, if hedges do not qualify as highly effective or if the Company does not believe that forecasted transactions would occur, the changes in the fair value of the derivatives used as hedges would be reflected in earnings. 34 The Company uses Interest Rate Protection Agreements ("Rate Agreements") to manage its exposure to fluctuating interest rates, which effectively convert a portion of the Company's borrowings from variable rate debt to a fixed-rate basis, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future income. These instruments are valued using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted expected future variable cash receipts and the discounted future fixed cash payments. The variable cash receipts are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observed market interest rate forward curves. The Company also uses 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 and potential losses in earnings or cash flows from adverse price movements in the underlying commodity. The Company considers its forecasted natural gas requirements in determining the quantity of its natural gas to hedge. The Company combines the forecasts with historical observations to establish the percentage of its forecast eligible to be hedged, ranging from 40% to 60% of the anticipated requirements, generally two or more months in the future. The fair values of these instruments are determined from market quotes. The Company's foreign currency exposures arise from occasional transactions denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar primarily associated with anticipated purchases of new equipment. The fair values of these instruments are determined from market quotes. The Company has not changed its 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. As of December 31, 2001, the Company has Rate Agreements for $100.0 million of its variable rate debt and commodity futures contracts for 2.5 million British Thermal Units (BTUs) of natural gas. The fair value of these derivatives are included in accrued liabilities on the balance sheet. The Company does not believe it is exposed to more than a nominal amount of credit risk in its interest rate, natural gas and foreign currency hedges as the counterparts are established financial institutions. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of a derivative that is designated as and meets the required criteria for a cash flow hedge is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the underlying hedged item affects earnings. Amounts reclassified into earnings related to Rate Agreements are included in interest expense, natural gas futures contracts in natural gas expense included in cost of sales and foreign currency forward contracts for the purchase of new equipment in capital expenditures. All of the Company's derivatives qualify and are designated as cash flow hedges at December 31, 2001. Hedge accounting is only applied 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 35 designated as a cash flow hedge is recognized in current earnings. Ineffectiveness recognized in earnings during 2001 was not material. 4. INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES The Company is a 49% equity owner in Vitrocrisa, S. de R.L. de C.V. and related Mexican companies, which manufacture, market and sell glass tableware (beverageware, plates, bowls, serveware and accessories) and industrial glassware (coffee pots, blender jars, meter covers, glass covers for cooking ware and lighting fixtures sold to original equipment manufacturers) and a 49% equity owner in Crisa Industrial, L.L.C., a domestic distributor of industrial glassware for Vitrocrisa in the U.S. and Canada. Summarized combined financial information for the Company's investments, accounted for by the equity method, is as follows: December 31, 2001 2000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Current assets $102,599 $ 84,266 Non-current assets 130,295 140,644 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total assets $232,894 $224,910 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Current liabilities $ 74,924 $ 65,496 Other liabilities and deferred items 135,396 134,884 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total liabilities and deferred items $210,320 $200,380 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net assets $ 22,574 $ 24,530 =========================================================================
Year ended December 31, 2001 2000 1999 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net sales $ 199,373 $ 217,477 $ 189,699 Cost of sales 157,011 154,248 129,667 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gross profit 42,362 63,229 60,032 Operating expenses 21,250 22,817 21,260 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Income from operations 21,112 40,412 38,772 Other income (loss) 5,014 (2,420) (4,971) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Earnings before finance costs and taxes 26,126 37,992 33,801 Interest expense 7,855 10,296 10,871 Translation gain (loss) (1,780) 289 (1,392) ------------------------------------------- Earnings before income taxes 16,491 27,985 21,538 Income taxes 7,588 14,788 12,127 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net income $ 8,903 $ 13,197 $ 9,411 =============================================================================================
In 2001, the Company began reporting pretax equity earnings in the consolidated statements of income with related Mexican taxes included in the provision for income taxes and has reclassified 2000 and 1999 equity earnings to correspond to the 2001 presentation. The equity earnings are as follows: 36 Year ended December 31, 2001 2000 1999 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pretax equity earnings $ 6,384 $12,016 $ 8,857 Mexican taxes 3,719 7,247 5,942 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net equity earnings $ 2,665 $ 4,769 $ 2,915 =========================================================================== The difference between total earnings before income taxes in the combined information above and the Company's pretax equity earnings each year is $1,697 due to amortization of goodwill related to these investments. The carrying value of the equity investments is greater than the underlying shareholders' equity of those entities due to the use of fair value accounting at the time of the Company's acquisition of its 49% interest in 1997. 5. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Property, plant and equipment consists of the following: December 31, 2001 2000 ================================================================== Land $ 15,433 $ 15,153 Buildings 36,703 33,433 Machinery and equipment 179,909 152,964 Furniture and fixtures 14,285 13,122 Construction in progress 8,149 9,860 ------------------------------------------------------------------ 254,479 224,532 Less accumulated depreciation 126,681 116,427 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Net property, plant and equipment $127,798 $108,105 ================================================================== 37 6.

INCOME TAXES The provision for income taxes was calculated based on the following components of earnings before income taxes: ====================================================================== Year ended December 31, 2001 2000 1999 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- United States $51,139 $66,223 $62,378 Foreign 8,093 14,256 12,225 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Total earnings before tax $59,232 $80,479 $74,603 ====================================================================== The provision (credit) for income taxes consists of the following: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Year ended December 31, 2001 2000 1999 ====================================================================== Current: Federal $ 7,880 $ 19,111 $ 21,062 Foreign 679 1,925 (876) State and local 560 2,436 2,395 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Total current tax provision 9,119 23,472 22,581 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Deferred: Federal 8,228 3,963 1,154 Foreign 3,275 5,703 7,850 State and local (782) 475 (410) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Total deferred tax provision 10,721 10,141 8,594 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Total: Federal 16,108 23,074 22,216 Foreign 3,954 7,628 6,974 State and local (222) 2,911 1,985 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Total tax provision $ 19,840 $ 33,613 $ 31,175 ====================================================================== 38 Significant components of the Company's deferred tax liabilities and assets are as follows: December 31, 2001 2000 ============================================================================== Deferred tax liabilities: Property, plant and equipment $21,714 $16,623 Inventories 5,773 5,050 Pension 9,775 7,265 Intangibles and other assets 18,789 19,723 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total deferred tax liabilities 56,051 48,661 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Deferred tax assets: Accrued nonpension retirement benefits 18,130 18,657 Other accrued liabilities 11,512 8,343 Receivables 2,203 2,158 Tax credits 7,396 6,115 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total deferred tax assets 39,241 35,273 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Net deferred tax liability before valuation 16,810 13,388 allowance Valuation allowance 195 195 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Net deferred tax liability $17,005 $13,583 ============================================================================== The net deferred tax liability is included in the consolidated balance sheets as follows: December 31, 2001 2000 ============================================================================== Noncurrent deferred taxes $ 23,512 $ 19,413 Prepaid expenses and deferred taxes (6,507) (5,830) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Net deferred tax liability $ 17,005 $ 13,583 ============================================================================== 39 A reconciliation from the statutory U.S. federal tax rate of 35% to the consolidated effective tax rate is as follows: Year ended December 31, 2001 2000 1999 ============================================================================== Statutory U.S. federal tax rate 35.0% 35.0% 35.0% Increase (decrease) in rate due to: Foreign tax differential 4.2 11.0 5.3 State and local income taxes, net of related federal taxes (0.2) 2.4 1.7 Amortization of goodwill 1.4 1.0 1.1 Federal Credits (5.8) (6.3) (0.4) Other (1.1) (1.3) (0.9) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Consolidated effective tax rate 33.5% 41.8% 41.8% ============================================================================== Income taxes paid in cash (net of refunds received) amounted to $7,632, $29,288 and $13,849 for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. U.S. deferred income taxes, net of foreign tax credit, were provided on all undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries, as the earnings are not expected to be permanently reinvested in such companies. Income tax benefits related to employee stock option transactions of $1,144, $594 and $245 for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively, were allocated to shareholders' equity. In addition to the above, tax benefits of $137 and $2,292 were recorded in shareholders' equity in 2001 related to minimum pension liability and derivatives, respectively. The Company has recorded $7,201 of net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2001, arising from state tax credits of $2,646, federal foreign tax credits of $3,813 related to the deferred tax liability recorded for tax on undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries and federal research and experimentation credits of $742. The state tax credits will expire between 2002 and 2016. The federal foreign tax credits are not available for utilization until earnings are distributed from the non-U.S. subsidiaries. The federal research and experimentation credits represent a receivable for credits that have been earned, but due to federal procedural matters have not been received as of December 31, 2001. 8. PENSION PLANS AND NONPENSION RETIREMENT BENEFITS The Company has pension plans covering substantially all employees. Benefits generally are based on compensation for salaried employees and length of service for hourly employees. The Company's policy is to fund pension plans such that sufficient assets will be available to meet future benefit requirements. 40 The components of the benefit obligation, plan assets and funded status of the plans are as follows: ============================================================================= December 31, 2001 2000 ============================================================================= Change in benefit obligation: Benefit obligation, beginning of year $ 160,203 $ 158,241 Service cost 3,834 3,817 Interest cost 12,860 12,261 Plan amendments 11,014 -- Actuarial loss 9,913 196 Benefits paid (11,960) (14,312) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Benefit obligation, end of year $ 185,864 $ 160,203 ============================================================================= Change in plan assets: Fair value of plan assets, beginning of year $ 222,648 $ 246,404 Actual return on plan assets (12,296) (9,444) Benefits paid (11,960) (14,312) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fair value of plan asset, end of year $ 198,392 $ 222,648 ============================================================================= Reconciliation of funded status of plans: Funded Status $ 12,528 $ 62,445 Unrecognized net gain 920 (46,207) Unrecognized prior year service cost 16,058 5,400 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prepaid pension benefit cost $ 29,506 $ 21,638 ============================================================================= The plan amendments resulted from additional benefits granted to certain of the Company's unionized workforce in labor negotiations completed during 2001. The Company has recorded a net minimum pension liability of $404 and intangible pension asset of $176 in 2001 related to a non-qualified benefit plan. The actuarial present value of benefit obligations is based on a discount rate of 7.5% in 2001 and 7.75% in 2000 and 1999. The expected long-term rate of return on assets of 10.0% and a salary growth rate of 5.0% were used in 2001, 2000 and 1999. Future benefits are assumed to increase in a manner consistent with past experience. Plan assets primarily include marketable equity securities and government and corporate debt securities. 41 The components of the net pension credit are as follows:
======================================================================================= Year ended December 31, 2001 2000 1999 ======================================================================================= Service cost (benefits earned during the period) $ 3,834 $ 3,817 $ 3,825 Interest cost on projected benefit obligation 12,860 12,261 11,836 Expected return on plan assets (22,669) (21,245) (19,248) Prior service cost amortization 356 356 348 Actuarial gain recognized (2,233) (2,202) (685) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net pension credit $ (7,852) $ (7,013) $ (3,924) =======================================================================================
The Company also sponsors certain other employee retirement benefit plans which in the aggregate resulted in an expense of $2,660, $2,373 and $2,082 in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The Company also provides certain retiree health care and life insurance benefits covering substantially all salaried and 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 retirement benefits of Company retirees who had retired as of June 18, 1993. 42 The components of the nonpension retirement benefit obligation and amounts accrued are as follows:
================================================================================================ December 31, 2001 2000 ================================================================================================ Change in accumulated nonpension postretirement benefit obligation: Benefit obligation, beginning of year $ 20,855 $ 20,321 Currency gain (153) (116) Service cost 590 439 Interest cost 1,911 1,549 Actuarial gain 4,845 207 Settlement of insurance contract -- (289) Benefits paid (1,355) (1,256) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Benefit obligation, end of year $ 26,693 $ 20,855 ================================================================================================ Reconciliation of funded status of plans: Funded Status $(26,693) $(20,855) Unrecognized actuarial gain (10,064) (15,531) Unrecognized prior year service cost (11,374) (13,290) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Accrued benefit cost $(48,131) $(49,676) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The provision for net nonpension retirement benefit cost (credit) consists of the following:
======================================================================================== Year ended December 31, 2001 2000 1999 ======================================================================================== Service cost (benefits earned during the period) $ 590 $ 439 $ 533 Interest cost on nonpension retirement benefit obligation 1,911 1,549 1,475 Amortization (2,543) (2,883) 933 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net nonpension retirement benefit cost (credit) $ (42) $ (895) $ 2,941 ========================================================================================
Assumed health care cost inflation is based on a rate of 5.0%. A one percent increase in these rates would have increased the nonpension retirement expense by $157 and the benefit obligation by $1,680. A one percent decrease in these rates would have decreased the net nonpension retirement expense by $201 and the benefit obligation by $2,043. The assumed discount rate used in determining the accumulated nonpension retirement benefit obligation was 7.5% for 2001 and 7.75% for 2000 and 1999. The increase in 1999 in the accumulated nonpension retirement benefit obligation related to coverage of additional employees for medical expense. The Company continues to fund these nonpension retirement benefit obligations as claims are incurred. 43 The Company also provides retiree health care benefits to certain union hourly employees through participation in a multi-employer retiree health care benefit plan. Related to these plans, approximately $365, $377 and $400 was charged to expense for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. 9. LONG-TERM DEBT The Company and its Canadian subsidiary have an unsecured agreement ("Bank Credit Agreement" or "Agreement") with a group of banks that provides for a Revolving Credit and Swing Line Facility ("Facility") permitting borrowings up to an aggregate total of $380.0 million, maturing May 1, 2002. Swing Line borrowings are limited to $25.0 million with interest calculated at the prime rate minus the commitment fee percentage ("Commitment Fee Percentage") as defined in the Agreement. Revolving Credit borrowings bear interest at the Company's option at either the prime rate minus the Commitment Fee Percentage or a Eurodollar rate plus the applicable Eurodollar margin ("Applicable Eurodollar Margin") as defined in the Agreement. The Commitment Fee Percentage and Applicable Eurodollar Margin vary depending on the Company's performance against certain financial ratios. The Commitment Fee Percentage and the Applicable Eurodollar Margin were .125% and .225%, respectively, at December 31, 2001. The Company had $143.0 and $151.4 million outstanding under the Facility at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The Facility also provides for the issuance of $38.0 million of letters of credit, with such usage applied against the $380.0 million limit. At December 31, 2001, the Company had $4.8 million in letters of credit outstanding under the Facility. On January 31, 2002, the Company entered into an amended agreement for new senior credit facilities ("New Credit Facilities") totaling $575.0 million related to the Company's announced acquisition of the Anchor Hocking glassware operations of Newell Rubbermaid Inc. When funded, the New Credit Facilities will replace the existing Bank Credit Agreement. The New Credit Facilities are comprised of a $311.3 million Revolving Credit Facility that matures five years from the initial funding, a $143.7 million Term Loan A Facility that matures five years from the initial funding, and a $120.0 million Term Loan B Facility that matures seven years from the initial funding. Since the funding under the New Credit Facilities is contingent upon consummation of the Anchor Hocking acquisition, debt under the Facility is classified as short-term at December 31, 2001. If the Anchor Hocking acquisition does not occur, the Company expects to refinance the Bank Credit Agreement in April 2002 on a long-term basis and is in the process of obtaining such financing commitments. In September 2001, the Company issued a $2.7 million promissory note in connection with the purchase of a warehouse facility. Annual maturities for all the Company's long-term debt are as follows: 2002 - $143.1 million; 2003 - $0.1 million; 2004 - $0.1 million; 2005 - $0.1 million; and 2006 - $0.1 million. The Company has Rate Agreements with respect to $100.0 million of debt as a means to manage its exposure to fluctuating interest rates. The Rate Agreements effectively convert this portion of the Company's borrowings from variable rate debt to a fixed-rate basis, thus reducing the impact of 44 interest rate changes on future income. The average interest rate for the Company's borrowings related to the Rate Agreements at December 31, 2001, was 6.2% for an average remaining period of 3.3 years. Total remaining debt not covered by the Rate Agreements has fluctuating interest rates with a weighted average rate of 2.3% at December 31, 2001. If the counterparts to these Rate Agreements fail to perform, the Company would no longer be protected from interest rate fluctuations by these Rate Agreements. However, the Company does not anticipate nonperformance by the counterparts. The Company pays the Commitment Fee Percentage on the total credit provided under the Bank Credit Agreement. No compensating balances are required by the Agreement, which does require the maintenance of certain financial ratios, restricts the incurrence of indebtedness and other contingent financial obligations and restricts certain types of business activities and investments. At December 31, 2001, the carrying value of debt approximates its fair value based on the Company's current incremental borrowing rates and term to the maturity of the Bank Credit Agreement. The fair market value for the Company's Rate Agreements at December 31, 2001 was $(4.8) million. The fair value of the Company's Rate Agreements is 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 Company does not expect to cancel these agreements and expects them to expire as originally contracted. Interest paid in cash amounted to $10,785, $12,001 and $12,297 for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999. 10. STOCK OPTIONS The Company has two stock option plans for key employees: (1) the Libbey Inc. Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan for Key Employees and (2) the 1999 Equity Participation Plan of Libbey Inc. The plans provide for the granting of Incentive Stock Options and Nonqualified Options to purchase 2,800,000 shares of the Company's common stock at a price not less than the fair market value on the date the option is granted. Options become exercisable as determined at the date of the grant by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Unless an earlier expiration date is set at the time of the grant or results from termination of an optionee's employment or a merger, consolidation, acquisition, liquidation or dissolution of the Company, Incentive Stock Options expire ten years after the date of the grant and Nonqualified Options expire ten years and a day after the grant. The Company has elected to follow APB No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB No. 25) in accounting for employee stock options. The alternative fair value accounting provided for under FASB No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (Statement 123) requires use of option valuation models that were not developed for use in valuing employee stock options. Under APB No. 25, no compensation expense is recognized because the exercise price of the 45 Company's employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock at the date of grant. In the opinion of management, the existing fair value models do not provide a reliable measure of the value of employee stock options. The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. The Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options. In addition, option valuation models require highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate. Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by Statement 123, which also requires that the information be determined as if the Company has accounted for its employee stock options granted subsequent to December 31, 1994, under the fair-value method of that Statement. The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions by year: ASSUMPTION 2001 2000 1999 ---------- ---- ---- ---- Risk-free interest rates 4.2% 6.0% 6.0% Dividend yield 0.9% 0.9% 1.0% Volatility .30 .29 .29 The weighted average fair value of options granted in 2001, 2000 and 1999 was $13.25, $14.12 and $12.22, respectively. 46 For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period. The Company's pro forma information follows: Year ended December 31, 2001 2000 1999 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net income: Reported $ 39,392 $ 46,866 $ 43,428 Pro forma $ 38,115 $ 45,625 $ 42,365 Earnings per share: Basic Reported $ 2.58 $ 3.07 $ 2.69 Pro forma $ 2.49 $ 2.99 $ 2.62 Diluted Reported $ 2.53 $ 3.01 $ 2.64 Pro forma $ 2.45 $ 2.93 $ 2.57 =========================================================================== Pro forma effect on net income for 1999 is not representative of the pro forma effect on net income in future years because it does not take into consideration pro forma compensation expense related to grants made prior to 1995. Stock option activity is as follows: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Weighted-Average Price Range Per Number of Shares Exercise Price Share ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- January 1, 1999 Outstanding 1,383,346 $19.17 $13.00-$38.44 Exercisable 1,112,447 15.46 Granted 164,450 31.25 Canceled 500 38.44 Exercised 40,183 13.27 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 1999 Outstanding 1,507,113 $20.64 $13.00-$38.44 Exercisable 1,196,708 17.32 Granted 175,750 32.31 Canceled 4,190 30.02 Exercised 110,349 14.53 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2000 Outstanding 1,568,324 $22.35 $13.00-$38.44 Exercisable 1,219,882 19.25 Granted 230,450 30.56 Canceled 1,250 31.94 Exercised 167,741 13.97 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- DECEMBER 31, 2001 OUTSTANDING 1,629,783 $24.37 $13.00-$38.44 EXERCISABLE 1,198,163 21.75 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 47 The following information is as of December 31, 2001: Options with an Options with an exercise price exercise price of greater than $13.00 per share $13.00 per share -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Options outstanding 525,412 1,104,371 Weighted-average exercise price $13.00 $29.78 Remaining contractual life 1.48 6.85 Options exercisable 525,412 672,751 Weighted-average exercise price $13.00 $28.58 ================================================================================ 11. SHAREHOLDERS' RIGHTS PLAN The Company has a Shareholders' Rights Plan designed to ensure that all of the Company's shareholders receive fair and equal treatment in the event of any proposal to acquire control of the Company. The Plan defines Existing Holder to mean Baron Capital Group, Inc. together with all of its Affiliates and Associates (including, without limitation, Ronald Baron, BAMCO, Inc., Baron Capital Management, Inc. and Baron Asset Fund). Under the Plan, the Company's Board of Directors would declare a distribution of one right for each outstanding common share of the Company. Each right will entitle shareholders to buy 1/100th of a share of newly created Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $55 per right. The rights will not be exercisable until a person acquires beneficial ownership of 20% (or in the case of an Existing Holder, 25%) of the Company's common shares or makes a tender offer for at least 20% (or in the case of an Existing Holder, 25%) of its common shares. Percentage increases resulting from share repurchases by the Company or inadvertence do not cause the rights to become exercisable. After the time that a person acquires beneficial ownership of 20% (or in the case of an Existing Holder, 25%) of the Company's common shares, the holders of the rights may be permitted to exercise such rights to receive the Company's common shares having market value of twice the exercise price. The rights are redeemable at $0.001 per right at any time before the tenth day after a person has acquired 20% (or in the case of an Existing Holder, 25%) or more of the outstanding common shares. The redemption period may be extended under certain circumstances. If at any time after 48 the rights become exercisable and not redeemed, the Company is acquired in a merger or other business combination transaction in which the Company is not the surviving party, the rights will entitle a holder to buy a number of shares of common stock of the acquiring company having a market value of twice the exercise price of each right. 12. OPERATING LEASES Rental expense for all operating leases, primarily for warehouses, was $5,328, $4,705 and $5,299 for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Future minimum rentals under operating leases are as follows: 2002--$5,428; 2003--$4,579; 2004--$3,492; 2005--$2,138; 2006--$1,427; and 2007 and thereafter--$4,426. 13. INDUSTRY SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company has one reportable segment, tableware products, from which the Company's revenues from external customers are derived. The Company does not have any customer who represents 10% or more of total sales. The Company's operations by geographic areas for 2001, 2000 and 1999 are presented below. Intercompany sales to affiliates represent products that are transferred between geographic areas on a basis intended to reflect as nearly as possible the market value of the products. The long-lived assets include net fixed assets, goodwill and equity investments. 49 United Foreign Eliminations Consolidated States ================================================================================ 2001 Net sales: Customers $ 371,865 $ 47,729 $ 419,594 Intercompany -- -- -- -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total $ 371,865 $ 47,729 -- $ 419,594 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Long-lived assets $ 172,924 $ 82,513 $ 255,437 2000 Net sales: Customers $ 389,990 $ 51,838 $ 441,828 Intercompany 740 -- (740) -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total $ 390,730 $ 51,838 $ (740) $ 441,828 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Long-lived assets $ 155,328 $ 82,309 $ 237,637 1999 Net sales: Customers $ 404,355 $ 56,237 $ 460,592 Intercompany 17,962 4,040 (22,002) -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total $ 422,317 $ 60,277 $ (22,002) $ 460,592 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Long-lived assets $ 154,909 $ 79,348 $ 234,257 50 SELECTED QUARTERLY FINANCIAL DATA (UNAUDITED) The following tables present selected quarterly financial data for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000:
