PART I ITEM 1. BUSINESS GENERAL Libbey Inc. (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. Through its subsidiary Royal Leerdam (B.V. Koninklijke Nederlandsche Glasfabriek Leerdam), Libbey manufactures and markets high-quality glass stemware under the Royal Leerdam(R) brand name. Libbey also manufactures and markets ceramic dinnerware under the Syracuse(R) China brand name through its subsidiary Syracuse China. Through its World Tableware subsidiary, Libbey imports and sells flatware, holloware and ceramic dinnerware. Libbey designs, manufactures and distributes an extensive line of plastic items for the foodservice industry under the Traex(R) brand name through its subsidiary Traex Company. 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 and new green meadow facilities for international glass tableware manufacturing. In December 2002, the Company completed two acquisitions. Libbey acquired Traex Company, a manufacturer and marketer of a wide-range of plastic products, including glassware washing and storage racks, trays, dispensers and organizers for the foodservice industry. In a separate transaction, the Company acquired Royal Leerdam (B.V. Koninklijke Nederlandsche Glasfabriek Leerdam) a manufacturer and marketer of high quality glass stemware. Royal Leerdam is a leading producer of stemware in the world. 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. 1 The acquisitions of Syracuse China (1995), World Tableware (1997) and Traex (2002) have expanded the Company's portfolio of foodservice supply products. The acquisition of Royal Leerdam (2002) will increase Libbey's global presence for glass stemware. PRODUCTS Libbey's tableware products consist of glass tableware, ceramic dinnerware, metal flatware, metal holloware and plastic items. Libbey's glass tableware includes tumblers, stemware (which includes wine glasses), mugs, plates, bowls, ashtrays, bud vases, salt and pepper shakers, canisters, candle holders and various other items. The Company's plastic items include trays, dispensers, beverage pitchers 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. Libbey sells high-quality stemware, including wine glasses, through its subsidiary, Royal Leerdam. In addition, 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. Its World Tableware subsidiary provides Libbey 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. Through its Traex subsidiary, Libbey sells a wide range of plastic products. These include glassware washing and storage racks, trays, dispensers and organizers for the foodservice industry. DOMESTIC SALES Approximately 89% of Libbey's sales are to domestic customers and are sold domestically for a broad range of uses (see Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements). 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, handmade glassware and lead crystal valued at less than $5 per piece. Libbey has, according to management 2 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 national discount retailers. 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. 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. 3 Libbey's export sales, which include sales to customers in Canada, represent approximately 11% of total sales in 2002. Libbey believes that expanding its sales to export markets represents an important growth opportunity for the future. The information set forth in Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements under "Industry Segment Information" on page 60. The acquisition of Royal Leerdam is expected to increase Libbey's penetration in the global market for glass stemware and, in addition, expand the selection of glass tableware products offered by Libbey to customers world-wide. Libbey currently has technical service agreements with foreign glass tableware companies. These agreements cover areas ranging from manufacturing and engineering assistance to support in functions such as marketing, sales and administration. During 2002, Libbey's technical assistance agreements and licenses produced royalties of $2.4 million. Libbey also sells machinery, primarily glass-forming machinery, to various parties. 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 and a glass tableware manufacturing plant in Leerdam, Netherlands. Libbey owns and operates a ceramic dinnerware plant in Syracuse, New York, and a plastics plant in Dane, Wisconsin. 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. 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 2002, Libbey fully installed new production equipment that uses new technology in the glassmaking arena. In addition, Libbey has installed robotics technology in certain of its labor-intensive manufacturing and warehousing processes. Libbey believes that its production machinery and equipment continue to be adequate for its needs in the foreseeable future. The Company continues to invest in equipment to further increase its production and distribution efficiency and streamline its cost profile. In addition, the Company invested $60.9 million in the acquisitions of Traex and Royal Leerdam. 4 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 primarily from 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. Plastic products are also produced through the forming of raw materials into the desired shape and are manufactured at Libbey's Dane, Wisconsin production facility or imported primarily from Taiwan, China and Malaysia. 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. The raw materials used by Libbey, which are principally, sand, lime, soda ash, clay, resins and colorants, 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 of over 80 Libbey sales professionals located in various metropolitan areas throughout the U.S., Canada and the Netherlands who call on customers and distributors. In addition, Libbey retains the services of manufacturing representatives' organizations to assist in selling its products. Libbey also maintains an export sales group covering other geographic markets. The vast 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 5 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 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 accounts for 10% or more of Libbey's sales, although the loss of any of Libbey's major customers could have a meaningful effect on Libbey. Sales for premium applications, which totaled 2% of net sales in 2002, 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, new product development, 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., Anchor Hocking (a unit of Newell Rubbermaid Inc.) and Bormioli Rocco Group. 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. Bormioli Rocco Group manufactures glass tableware in Europe and most of its sales are to retail and foodservice customers in Europe. 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. Competitors in plastic products are among others Cambro Manufacturing Company (a private U.S. company) and Carlisle Companies 6 Incorporated. Some of Libbey's competitors have substantially greater financial and other resources than Libbey. 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, World Tableware, Royal Leerdam and Traex 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 32% and 47% in the first half of each year and 53% to 68% 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. However, 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 this 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 7 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 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. In view of the uncertainty as to refiling of the suit, the numerous defenses which may be available against the County on the merits of its claim for contribution, the uncertainty as to the environmental remedy, and the uncertainty as to the number of potentially responsible parties, at the present time it is not possible to quantify any exposure the Company may have at King Road. 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. On October 10, 1995, Syracuse China Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired from The Pfaltzgraff Co. and certain of its subsidiary corporations, the assets operated by them 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 that has been paid. 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 2003. 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. 8 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 property, plant and equipment for environmental control activities were not material during 2002. 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 3,800 persons at December 31, 2002. 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 a third manufacturing location. Substantially all Royal Leerdam employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement expiring in July 2004. The ceramic dinnerware hourly employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement, which expires in March 2006. Libbey considers its employee relations to be good. PUBLIC FILINGS Copies of the Company's annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those reports are available for no charge through the Company's website at www.libbey.com. 9 ITEM 2. PROPERTIES The following information sets forth the location of the Company's principal manufacturing and distribution facilities at December 31, 2002. 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 and Distribution Facilities ----------------------------------------- Syracuse, New York Toledo, Ohio Shreveport, Louisiana City of Industry, California Dane, Wisconsin Leerdam, Netherlands Distribution Centers -------------------- Laredo, Texas West Chicago, Illinois The Company's headquarters, some warehouses, sales offices and an outlet store 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. No pending legal proceeding is deemed to be material to the Company. On May 9, 2002, the Federal Trade Commission commenced an administrative proceeding challenging the Company's proposed acquisition of a portion of the Anchor Hocking business of Newell Rubbermaid Inc. The parties agreed upon a consent decree that became final on October 15, 2002, following formal approval by the Federal Trade Commission. The consent decree requires Libbey to provide advance notice to the Federal Trade Commission of any acquisition, direct or indirect, of any interest in the stock of Anchor Hocking or the assets of the Anchor Hocking Food Service Business.

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) 2002 2001 2000 ---------------------------------------------- ------------- -------------- -------------- Net sales $433,761 $419,594 $441,828 Gross profit $107,928 $114,424 $138,099 As a percent of sales 24.9% 27.3% 31.3% Income from operations $53,701 $62,449 $81,598 As a percent of sales 12.4% 14.9% 18.5% Earnings before interest and income taxes before write off of acquisition related expenses $58,570 $68,592 $92,695 As a percent of sales 13.5% 16.3% 21.0% Earnings before interest and income taxes $44,936 $68,592 $92,695 As a percent of sales 10.4% 16.3% 21.0% Net income $28,055 $39,392 $46,866 As a percent of sales 6.5% 9.4% 10.6% ---------------------------------------------- ------------- -------------- --------------

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, major slowdowns in the retail, travel, or entertainment industries could result from the impact of armed hostilities or any other international or national calamity, including any act of terrorism. Additional risk factors are discussed in Other Information in the section "Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures about Market Risk." RESULTS OF OPERATIONS COMPARISON OF 2002 WITH 2001 Net sales for 2002 increased 3.4% to $433.8 million from $419.6 million in 2001. A 19% increase in sales to retail customers was a key contributor. This increase more than offset lower sales to industrial customers which are primarily candle companies. Foodservice sales were up slightly for the year and showed solid growth in the fourth quarter. Libbey's export sales, which include sales to Canada, were $46.1 million, a decrease of 3.4% compared to 2001. GROSS PROFIT (defined as net sales plus freight billed to customers less cost of sales) declined 5.7% to $107.9 million compared to $114.4 million in 2001 and as a percent of net sales was 24.9% in 15 2002 as compared to 27.3% in 2001. The decline in gross profit margin is primarily due to greater sales of products with lower profit margins, lower pension income, higher nonpension postretirement expense and higher manufacturing labor expenses. Lower pension income and higher nonpension postretirement expense reduced gross profit by $4.1 million in 2002 compared to the prior year. INCOME FROM OPERATIONS decreased to $53.7 million in 2002 from $62.4 million in 2001 and as a percent of net sales was 12.4% in 2002 compared to 14.9% in 2001. This reduction was the result of lower gross profit, higher lease cost of $1.2 million related to the company's corporate offices in 2002 and higher general and administrative expenses. Lower pension income and an increase in nonpension postretirement expense were the primary factors in the increase in general and administrative expenses which reduced income from operations by $0.3 million. In 2002, the company recorded lower expenses related to the amortization of intangibles pursuant to the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" (SFAS No. 142) of $1.1 million, which partially offset the higher general and administration expenses. EARNINGS BEFORE INTEREST AND INCOME TAXES (EBIT) were $44.9 million compared to $68.6 million in 2001 and as a percent of net sales were 10.4% as compared to 16.3% in the year-ago period. In addition to the lower income from operations, the most significant factor in the reduction was a $13.6 million pretax expense related to the legal, advisory and financing fees associated with the abandoned acquisition of Anchor Hocking. Excluding these expenses, the company's EBIT, as a percent of net sales, would have been 13.5% compared to 16.3% in 2001. Due to the unusual nature and magnitude of these expenses related to the abandoned acquisition, management believes exclusion of these expenses is necessary for a more meaningful comparison of EBIT as a percent of net sales in 2001. The company's earnings from equity affiliates remained flat at $6.4 million pretax compared to 2001. The company's equity affiliates are primarily its investment in Vitrocrisa, the company's joint venture in Mexico. Vitrocrisa's performance was impacted by a sluggish economy in Mexico and increased competition from foreign markets. Other expenses increased to $1.5 million from $0.2 million in the prior-year period, largely as a result of a write-down in the value of an advance made to a supplier. NET INCOME was $28.1 million, or $1.82 per share on a diluted basis, compared to $39.4 million or $2.53 per share on a diluted basis in the year-ago period. As a percent of net sales, net income was 6.5% in 2002 compared to 9.4% in 2001. Excluding the expenses related to the abandoned acquisition, net income and diluted earnings per share for 2002 would have been $36.6 million and $2.37, respectively. Due to the unusual nature and magnitude of the expenses related to the abandoned acquisition, management believes exclusion of these expenses is necessary for a more meaningful comparison of net income to 2001. The company experienced lower interest expense and income taxes in 2002 compared to prior year. Interest expense was due to lower average debt levels and a decline in interest rates. The company's effective tax rate declined to 23.5% in 2002 from 33.5% in 2001. The reduction was primarily attributable to lower Mexican tax, the elimination 16 of non-deductible goodwill amortization and an adjustment to estimated U.S. income tax accruals. The reduction in Mexican tax is primarily attributable to deferred tax adjustments and reduced statutory tax rates in Mexico. 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. 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. CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY ------------------------------- Libbey's financial condition at year-end 2002 reflects the effects of the company's strong cash flow from operations. Net cash provided by operating activities increased to $54.2 million from $51.3 million in 2001. The company recorded another year of efficient use of working capital. Excluding 17 the acquisitions, inventories remained at $96.9 million in 2002, equal to the 2001 year-end balance and accounts receivable were $41.5 million in 2002 compared to $44.1 million in 2001. Compared to the year-ago period, inventories increased by $12.7 million and accounts receivable increased by $5.9 million, both entirely attributable to the acquisitions of Traex and Royal Leerdam in 2002. Accounts payable decreased by $1.5 million compared to 2001. Capital expenditures were $16.7 million in 2002 compared with $35.2 million in 2001. Capital expenditures for 2003 are expected to be in the range of $35 to $40 million as the company increases its investment in higher productivity and labor saving machinery and equipment. The company repurchased 935,600 shares of its common stock in 2002 for $26.8 million. Since mid-1998, the company has repurchased 3,625,000 shares for $102.2 million. At year-end 2002, authorization from the company's Board of Directors remained for the purchase of an additional 2,500,000 shares. On February 18, 2003, the company announced commencement of a modified Dutch Auction tender offer to purchase up to 1,500,000 shares of its outstanding common stock pursuant to the previously mentioned 2,500,000 share authorization. The company purchased 1,500,000 shares at a purchase price of $25.50 per share. This purchase was funded through the company's Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement (Revolving Credit Agreement or Agreement). Libbey had total debt of $191.2 million at December 31, 2002, compared with $148.0 million at December 31, 2001. The increase was primarily attributable to the purchase of Traex and Royal Leerdam partially offset by the net cash provided from operations. Libbey had additional debt capacity of $59.3 million at December 31, 2002, under its Revolving Credit Agreement. Libbey has entered into interest rate protection agreements with respect to $100 million of its debt. The average fixed rate of interest under these interest rate protection agreements is 5.8% and the total interest rate, including applicable fees, is 6.8%. The average maturity of these interest rate protection agreements is 2.3 years at December 31, 2002. Of Libbey's outstanding indebtedness, $88.7 million is subject to fluctuating interest rates at December 31, 2002. A change of one percentage point in such rates would result in a change in interest expense of approximately $0.9 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 Revolving Credit Agreement and other short-term lines of credit will be sufficient to fund its operating requirements, capital expenditures and all other obligations (including debt service and dividends) throughout the remaining term of the Revolving Credit Agreement. In September 2001, the company issued a $2.7 million promissory note in connection with the purchase of a warehouse facility. At December 31, 2002, the company had $2.5 million outstanding on the promissory note. During 2003, $0.1 million of the principal is payable. 18 The following table presents the company's existing contractual obligations and commercial commitments:

Payments Due by Period Contractual 2 - 3 4 - 5 After 5 Obligations Total 1 Year Years Years Years ----------- ------ ------ ------ ----- ------ Debt $188.5 $0.1 $186.3 $0.3 $1.8 Operating Leases 15.3 4.4 5.4 2.5 3.0 ------ ------ ------ ----- ------ Total Obligations $203.8 $4.5 $191.7 $2.8 $4.8

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. As part of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors' regular review of the financial reporting of the company, senior management has reviewed the Critical Accounting Policies and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. 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 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 2 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 2 and 9 to the company's consolidated financial statements and the section titled "Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk." 19 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 POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS The company accounts for its defined benefit pension plans in accordance with SFAS No. 87, "Employers' Accounting for Pensions" (SFAS No. 87), which requires that amounts recognized in financial statements be determined on an actuarial basis. A significant element in determining the company's pension expense (income) in accordance with SFAS No. 87 is the expected return on plan assets. The company assumes that the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets will be 9.0%. Since the pension plans' inception in 1993, the company's pension plan assets have earned an average annual return of 9.2%. A change of .50% in the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets will change pension expense (income) by approximately $1.0 million based on year-end data. 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 expense (income). 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 expense (income). The plan assets have earned an actual rate of return of less than 9.0% in the last two years. Pension expense (income) in 2003 is expected to be $2.2 million (excluding expenses for Royal Leerdam which was acquired in December 2002) compared to $(3.7) million in 2002 and $(7.1) million in 2001. 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, 2002, the company determined this rate to be 6.75%. The discount rate used in 2001 was 7.50%. The effect of each .25% change in the discount rate would effect pension expense by approximately $0.2 million. The company has not made contributions to the pension plans since their inception in 1993. And the company does not anticipate making cash contributions in 2003. However, if weak investment returns related to depressed global stock markets and historically low discount rates persist, cash contributions may be required after 2003. It is difficult to estimate potential cash contributions, as such amounts are a function of actual investment returns, withdrawals from the plans, changes in interest rates and other factors uncertain at this time. However, the company believes it is likely that any cash contribution in 2004 would not be material. 20 At December 31, 2002, the fair value of the company's pension assets was $172.8 million down from $198.4 million at the end of 2001. The company also provides certain postretirement health care and life insurance benefits covering substantially all salaried and hourly employees which are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions." Employees are generally eligible for benefits upon retirement and completion of a specified number of years of creditable service. Benefits for most hourly retirees are determined by collective bargaining. Under a cross-indemnity agreement, Owens-Illinois, Inc. assumed liability for the nonpension postretirement benefits of 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, 2002, the company determined this rate to be 6.75%. The discount rate used in 2001 was 7.50%. The effect of a .25% change in the discount rate would have no material change to health care expense. Assumed health care cost inflation is based on an initial rate of 10.0% decreasing to an ultimate rate of 5.0% over five years. A 1% percent change in these rates would have changed the nonpension postretirement expense by $0.1 million. In 2002, the company recorded expense (income) for nonpension postretirement benefit costs of $0.9 million, as compared to $(0.04) million in 2001. The company expects to record an expense of $2.0 million (excluding expenses for Royal Leerdam which was acquired in December 2002) in 2003 for nonpension postretirement 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. 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, euro or 21 Mexican peso that could reduce the cost competitiveness of the company's products or that of Vitrocrisa compared to foreign competition; the effect of high inflation in Mexico and exchange rate changes to the value of the Mexican peso and impact of those changes on the earnings and cash flow of Vitrocrisa, expressed under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The company is exposed to market risk associated with changes in interest rates in the U.S. and has entered into Interest Rate Protection Agreements (Rate Agreements) with respect to $100 million of debt as a means to manage its exposure to fluctuating interest rates. The Rate Agreements effectively convert this portion of the company's borrowings from variable rate debt to a fixed-rate basis, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future income. The average fixed rate of interest for the company's borrowings related to the Rate Agreements at December 31, 2002 is 5.8% and the total interest rate, including applicable fees, is 6.8%. The average maturity of these Rate Agreements is 2.3 years at December 31, 2002. Total remaining debt not covered by the Rate Agreements has fluctuating interest rates with a weighted average rate of 2.4% at December 31, 2002. The company had $88.7 million of debt subject to fluctuating interest rates at December 31, 2002. A change of one percentage point in such rates would result in a change in interest expense of approximately $0.9 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. 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. The fair market value for the company's Rate Agreements at December 31, 2002, was $(8.8) million. In addition to the Rate Agreements, the company has other derivatives as discussed below and in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements. 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, 2002, approximately $5.2 million of unrealized net loss was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Financial information elsewhere in the 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, Chief Financial Officer and Head-International Operations February 10, 2003 25 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, 2002 and 2001, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the index at Item 15(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 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. (companies in which the Company has 49% equity interests) which have been audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us; insofar as our opinion on the consolidated financial statements relates to the amounts included for Vitrocrisa Holding, S. de R.L. de C.V. and Subsidiaries and Crisa Libbey, S.A. de C.V., it is based solely on their report. 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 and the reports of other auditors 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, 2002 and 2001, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002 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. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, in 2002 the company changed its method of accounting for goodwill. /s/ ERNST & YOUNG LLP Toledo, Ohio January 31, 2003 except for Notes 9 and 14 as to which the date is February 18, 2003. 26 Libbey Inc.

31 LIBBEY INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE DATA 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, ceramic dinnerware and plastic items 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 Vitrocrisa, a glass tableware manufacturer in Mexico. ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS The allowance for doubtful accounts is established through charges to the provision for bad debts. The Company evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts on a periodic basis. The evaluation includes historical trends in collections and write-offs, management's judgement of the probability of collecting accounts and management's evaluation of business risk. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to revision as more information becomes available. Accounts are determined to be uncollectible when the debt is deemed to be worthless or only recoverable in part, and are written off at that time through a charge against the allowance. INVENTORY VALUATION The Company uses the last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost method of inventory valuation for 57.1% of its inventories in 2002 and 61.1% in 2001. 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 $9,632 and $10,535 at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The remaining inventories are valued at either standard or average cost, which approximate current costs. 32 GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLES Goodwill results from the excess of purchase cost over the fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill resulting from business combinations completed prior to December 31, 2001 was being amortized over 40 years. Intangibles result from valuations assigned by independent appraisers for future revenues from technical assistance agreements and trademarks acquired, as well as the pension intangible assets discussed in Note 8. Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" (SFAS No. 142) and SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" (SFAS No. 141). SFAS No. 142 requires goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets to no longer be amortized but reviewed annually for impairment, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 18, "The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock" (APB 18), requires the Company's goodwill associated with equity method investees to be reviewed for impairment. Intangible assets with lives restricted by contractual, legal or other means will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. As required by SFAS No. 142, the Company determined that certain trademarks had an indefinite life and ceased amortization of these intangibles on January 1, 2002, and evaluated these indefinite-lived intangible assets as not being impaired. The Company also determined that certain technical assistance agreements should have their useful lives reduced to five years. At December 31, 2002, the carrying value and accumulated amortization of amortized intangible assets totaled $3,183 and $3,380, respectively, and the carrying value of indefinite-lived intangible assets totaled $5,984. Future estimated amortization expense of amortizable intangibles is as follows: 2003 -- $775; 2004 -- $762; 2005 -- $762; 2006 -- $762 and 2007 -- $55. Goodwill and other intangible assets were evaluated for impairment as of January 1, 2002 and October 1, 2002, and no impairment was indicated at either date. 33 The following table reflects the consolidated results adjusted as though the adoption of SFAS No. 142 occurred as of January 1, 2000.

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. 34 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 14 years for equipment and furnishings and 10 to 40 years for buildings and improvements. SELF-INSURANCE RESERVES Self-Insurance reserves reflect the estimated cost for group health and workers' compensation claims not covered by third-party insurance. Workers' compensation accruals are recorded at the estimated ultimate payout amounts based on individual case estimates and estimates of incurred-but-not-reported losses developed from past experience. Group health accruals are based on estimates of incurred-but-not-reported estimates received from a third party administrator of the plan. 35 STOCK OPTIONS The Company has two stock-based employee compensation plans, which are described more fully in Note 10. The Company accounts for the plans under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25), and related Interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provision of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS No. 123), to stock-based employee compensation.

36 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 when products are shipped and title and risk of loss has passed to the customer. Revenue is recorded net of returns and discounts and allowances offered to customers. The Company estimates returns and discounts at the time of sale based on the terms of the agreements and historical experience. The Company continually evaluates the adequacy of these methods used to estimate returns and discounts. 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. On January 1, 2002, the Company reduced the useful lives of certain technical assistance agreements to five years based on the implementation of SFAS No. 142. 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 qualify for hedge accounting since the hedges are highly effective, and the Company has designated contemporaneously 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. 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 37 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, typically ranging from 40% to 60% of the anticipated requirements, generally two or more months in the future. In some cases hedges are for requirements as long as two years into 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 or net investment in a foreign operation. 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, 2002, the Company has Rate Agreements for $100.0 million of its variable rate debt, commodity futures contracts for 0.8 million British Thermal Units (BTUs) of natural gas, and foreign currency forward contracts for 42.3 million euros. The fair value of these derivatives are included on the balance sheet in prepaid expenses for the natural gas futures and accrued liabilities for the Rate Agreements and foreign currency forwards. 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 and for net investments in foreign operations in other income (expense). All of the Company's derivatives qualify and are designated as cash flow hedges at December 31, 2002. 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 designated as a cash flow hedge is recognized in current earnings. Ineffectiveness recognized in earnings during 2002 was not material. Effective January 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" as amended by SFAS Nos. 137 and 138. The Company recorded a cumulative transition adjustment to decrease other comprehensive income (loss) by 38 $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). During 2002, the Company decreased other comprehensive income (loss) by an additional $(790) for net changes in the fair value of derivatives less tax of $297 or $(493). This results in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to derivatives at December 31, 2002, of $(7,824) less tax of $2,589, or $(5,235). The following table identifies the detail of cash flow hedges in Other Comprehensive income (loss) as of December 31:

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Research and development expenses are fully charged to the Consolidated Statements of Income when incurred. Expenses for 2002, 2001 and 2000 respectively were $2,124, $2,394, and $2,263. 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. The assets and liabilities of the wholly owned foreign subsidiary, Royal Leerdam (B.V. Koninklijke Nederlandsche Glasfabriek Leerdam), are translated at current exchange rates and any related translation adjustments are recorded directly in shareholders' equity with the euro being the functional currency. 39 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 pension obligations, net of tax. Disclosure of comprehensive income (loss) is incorporated into the Consolidated Statements of Shareholders' Equity for all years presented. Accumulated other comprehensive loss primarily includes $5,235 and $4,742 for effect of derivatives and $26,647 and $228 for minimum pension liability as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. LONG-LIVED ASSETS Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" (SFAS No. 144), 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 adoption of SFAS No. 144 had no effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position. TREASURY STOCK Treasury stock purchases are recorded at cost. During 2002, 2001 and 2000, the Company purchased 935,600, 42,000 and 149,400 shares of stock at an average cost of $28.68, $29.26 and $27.13, respectively. INCOME PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

-------------------------------------------------- ---------------- -------------- --------------- Year ended December 31, 2002 2001 2000 -------------------------------------------------- ---------------- -------------- --------------- Numerator for earnings per share -- net income that is available to common shareholders $28,055 $39,392 $46,866 Denominator for basic earnings per share -- weighted-average shares outstanding 15,240,429 15,296,289 15,253,726 Effect of dilutive securities - employee stock options and employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) in 2002 190,693 247,996 293,327 Denominator for diluted earnings per share - adjusted weighted-average shares and assumed conversions 15,431,122 15,544,285 15,547,053 Basic earnings per share $1.84 $2.58 $3.07 Diluted earnings per share $1.82 $2.53 $3.01 -------------------------------------------------- ---------------- -------------- ---------------

40 NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities" (SFAS No. 146). This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." SFAS No. 146 requires that costs associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred and establishes fair value as the objective for initial measurement of the liability. The pronouncement becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2002. In December 2002, the FASB issued a SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure" (SFAS No. 148). This statement addresses the transition methods for entities that adopt the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and also improves the prominence and clarity of the pro forma disclosures required by SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS No. 123), by prescribing a specific tabular format and by requiring disclosure in the Significant Accounting Policies note to the financial statement. In addition, this statement requires disclosures in financial reports for interim periods. The Company adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 148 in December 2002, the effective date of the Standard. In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others." This interpretation will significantly change current practices in the accounting for and disclosure of guarantees. Guarantees meeting the characteristics described in the Interpretation are required to be initially recorded at fair value. The Interpretation's initial recognition and initial measurement provisions are applicable on prospective basis to guarantees issues or modified after December 31, 2002. The Interpretation also requires a guarantor to make significant new disclosures for virtually all guarantees even if the likelihood of the guarantor's having to make payments under the guarantee is remote. The Interpretation's disclosure requirements are effective for this year's financial statements. Libbey Inc. guarantees the debt of Libbey Glass Inc. and Libbey Glass Inc. guarantees the debt of Libbey Europe B.V. (all related parties which are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements). 41 3. ACQUISITIONS Abandoned Anchor Hocking Acquisition ------------------------------------ In June of 2001, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire the Anchor Hocking operations of Newell Rubbermaid Inc. On June 10, 2002, the Company abandoned its proposed acquisition of the Anchor Hocking business in light of the challenge to the acquisition by the United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC). As a result, the Company expensed costs of $13,634 in 2002 directly related to the abandoned acquisition. These costs, consisting primarily of professional and financing fees, represent all of the costs incurred in connection with the acquisition and due to the unusual nature of this event have been classified in the Other income (expense) in the 2002 Consolidated Statement of Income. Traex Acquisition ----------------- On December 2, 2002, the Company acquired substantially all the assets of the Traex business (Traex) from Menasha Corporation for $16.8 million in cash. Traex manufactures and markets a wide-range of plastic products, including glassware washing and storage racks, trays, dispensers and organizers for the foodservice industry. Traex is located in Dane, Wisconsin. The operating results of Traex have been included in the 2002 Consolidated Statements of Income since the date of acquisition. Royal Leerdam Acquisition ------------------------- On December 31, 2002, the Company acquired the stock of Royal Leerdam (B.V. Koninklijke Nederlandsche Glasfabriek Leerdam) for $44.1 million in cash from BSN Glasspack N.V. Royal Leerdam manufactures and markets high-quality glass stemware. Royal Leerdam is located in Leerdam, Netherlands. Since the acquisition was completed on December 31, 2002, there were no operating results included in the Consolidated Statements of Income. As part of the stock acquisition of Royal Leerdam (B. V. Koninklijke Nederlandsche Glasfabriek Leerdam), the Company obtained an option, for a price of one euro, to put the stock of B.V. Leerdam Crystal (a wholly owned subsidiary of Royal Leerdam) back to BSN Glasspack N.V. Leerdam Crystal manufactures and markets various hand-made crystal items. The option expires on April 1, 2003, and is available to be extended to June 30, 2003. If the option to put the business back to BSN Glasspack N.V is not exercised and the Company retains the business of B.V. Leerdam Crystal, the Company will assume 1.6 million euros of debt. The debt would be interest free and would be payable in three equal installments due on December 31 of each year beginning in 2003. Since, as of December 31, 2002, the option has not been exercised, the December 31, 2002 Consolidated Balance Sheet only reflects the value of the option of one euro. The purchase price allocations for the acquisitions have been prepared on a preliminary basis. Reasonable changes are expected as additional information becomes available and the asset 42 valuations are finalized. Following is a summary of the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisitions:

-------------------------------------------------- ------------- 2002 -------------------------------------------------- ------------- Current assets (including cash of $382) $22,728 Property, plant and equipment 38,679 Intangible assets - amortizable (7.5 weighted average life) 363 Goodwill & intangible assets (indefinite life) 17,112 Other assets 1,975 -------------------------------------------------- ------------- Total assets acquired 80,857 -------------------------------------------------- ------------- Less liabilities assumed: Current liabilities 12,474 Long-term liabilities 5,957 -------------------------------------------------- ------------- Total liabilities assumed 18,431 -------------------------------------------------- ------------- Less acquisition-related costs 1,549 -------------------------------------------------- ------------- -------------------------------------------------- ------------- Net cash paid to seller $60,877 -------------------------------------------------- -------------

The pro forma unaudited results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002, assuming the acquisitions had been consummated as of January 1, 2001, are as follows:

------------------------------------------ ------------ ----------- Year ended December 31, 2002 2001 ------------------------------------------ ------------ ----------- Total revenues $505,216 $490,072 Net Income 30,227 42,072 Net income per share Basic $1.98 $2.75 Diluted $1.96 $2.71 ------------------------------------------ ------------ -----------

The unaudited pro forma information is not necessarily indicative either of the results of operations that would have occurred had the acquisition been consummated as of January 1, 2001 or of future operating results. 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 (Vitrocrisa), which manufacture, market and sell glass tableware (beverageware, plates, bowls, serveware and accessories) and industrial glassware (coffee pots, blender jars, meter 43 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, 2002 2001 ------------------------------------------------ ---------- ---------- Current assets $93,311 $102,599 Non-current assets 115,054 130,295 ------------------------------------------------ ---------- ---------- Total assets 208,365 232,894 ------------------------------------------------ ---------- ---------- Current liabilities 78,547 74,924 Other liabilities and deferred items 100,063 135,396 ------------------------------------------------ ---------- ---------- Total liabilities and deferred items 178,610 210,320 ------------------------------------------------ ---------- ---------- Net assets $29,755 $22,574 ------------------------------------------------ ----------- ---------

44 The Company reports pretax equity earnings in the consolidated statements of income with related Mexican taxes included in the provision for income taxes. The equity earnings are as follows:

-------------------------------------- ------------- ------------- ------------ Year ended December 31, 2002 2001 2000 -------------------------------------- ------------- ------------- ------------ Pretax equity earnings $6,379 $6,384 $12,016 Mexican taxes (3,395) 3,719 7,247 -------------------------------------- ------------- ------------- ------------ Net equity earnings $9,774 $2,665 $4,769 -------------------------------------- ------------- ------------- ------------

As required by SFAS No. 142, the Company ceased amortization of goodwill included in its equity investments, effective January 1, 2002. APB 18, "The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock" requires the Company's goodwill associated with equity method investees to be reviewed for impairment. The Company has determined that the goodwill of $60.5 million at December 31, 2002, is not impaired. The difference between total earnings before income taxes in the combined information above and the Company's pretax equity earnings in 2001 and 2000 is $1,698 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 purchase 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, 2002 2001 -------------------------------------- ----------------- ---------------- Land $15,614 $15,433 Buildings 47,578 36,703 Machinery and equipment 218,375 179,909 Furniture and fixtures 13,851 14,285 Construction in progress 5,272 8,149 -------------------------------------- ----------------- ---------------- 300,690 254,479 Less accumulated depreciation 137,569 126,681 -------------------------------------- ----------------- ---------------- Net property, plant and equipment $163,121 $127,798 -------------------------------------- ----------------- ----------------

45 6. OTHER ACCRUED LIABILITIES Other accrued liabilities include accruals for employee medical and workers' compensation self-insurance of $5,652 and $4,694 and various customer incentive programs totaling $12,917 and $9,709 at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. 7. INCOME TAXES The provision for income taxes was calculated based on the following components of earnings before income taxes:

------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- -------- ------- Year ended December 31, 2002 2001 2000 ------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- -------- ------- United States $31,202 $51,139 $66,223 Foreign 5,471 8,093 14,256 ------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- -------- ------- Total earnings before tax $36,673 $59,232 $80,479 ------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- -------- ------- The provision (credit) for income taxes consists of the following: ------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- -------- ------- Year ended December 31, 2002 2001 2000 ------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- -------- ------- Current: Federal $7,146 $7,880 $19,111 Foreign 740 679 1,925 State and local 645 560 2,436 ------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- -------- ------- Total current tax provision 8,531 9,119 23,472 ------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- -------- ------- Deferred: Federal 3,439 8,228 3,963 Foreign (3,854) 3,275 5,703 State and local 502 (782) 475 ------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- -------- ------- Total deferred tax provision 87 10,721 10,141 ------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- -------- ------- Total: Federal 10,585 16,108 23,074 Foreign (3,114) 3,954 7,628 State and local 1,147 (222) 2,911 ------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- -------- ------- Total tax provision $8,618 $19,840 $33,613 ------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- -------- -------

46 Significant components of the Company's deferred tax liabilities and assets are as follows:

December 31, 2002 2001 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------- -------- Deferred tax liabilities: Property, plant and equipment $24,110 $21,714 Inventories 6,151 5,773 Pension -- 9,775 Intangibles and other assets 16,711 18,789 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------- -------- Total deferred tax liabilities 46,972 56,051 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------- -------- Deferred tax assets: Accrued nonpension postretirement benefits 17,802 18,130 Other accrued liabilities 13,146 11,512 Pension 4,633 -- Receivables 2,791 2,203 Tax credits 6,176 7,396 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------- -------- Total deferred tax assets 44,548 39,241 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------- -------- Net deferred tax liability before valuation 2,424 16,810 allowance Valuation allowance 195 195 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------- -------- Net deferred tax liability $2,619 $17,005 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------- -------- The net deferred tax liability is included in the consolidated balance sheets as follows: December 31, 2002 2001 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------- -------- Noncurrent deferred taxes $11,780 $23,512 Prepaid expenses and deferred taxes (9,161) (6,507) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------- -------- Net deferred tax liability $2,619 $17,005 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------- --------

47 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, 2002 2001 2000 ------------------------------------------------------ ------ ------ ------ Statutory U.S. federal tax rate 35.0% 35.0% 35.0% Increase (decrease) in rate due to: Foreign tax differential (10.5) 4.2 11.0 State and local income taxes, net of related federal taxes 2.0 (0.2) 2.4 Amortization of goodwill -- 1.4 1.0 Federal credits (1.5) (5.8) (6.3) Other (1.5) (1.1) (1.3) ------------------------------------------------------ ------ ------ ------ Consolidated effective tax rate 23.5% 33.5% 41.8% ------------------------------------------------------ ------ ------ ------

The lower effective tax rate in 2002 is primarily attributable to lower Mexican tax, the elimination of non-deductible goodwill amortization and an adjustment to estimated U.S. income tax accruals. The reduction in Mexican tax is primarily attributable to deferred tax adjustments and reduced statutory tax rates in Mexico. Income taxes paid in cash (net of refunds received) amounted to $3,555, $7,632 and $29,288 for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. U.S. deferred income taxes, net of foreign tax credit, were provided on all undistributed earnings of the Company's Mexican and Canadian subsidiaries, as the earnings are not expected to be permanently reinvested in such companies. Income tax benefits related to employee stock option transactions of $1,821, $1,144 and $594 for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively, were allocated to shareholders' equity. In addition, income tax benefits related to minimum pension liability of $15,919 and $137 for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and income tax benefits related to derivatives of $297 and $2,292 for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 respectively, were allocated to shareholders' equity. 48 The deferred tax credit consist of the following:

December 31, 2002 2001 ----------------------------------------------- ------------ ------------- State tax credits $2,623 $ 2,841 Federal foreign tax credits 3,152 3,813 Federal research and experimentation credits 401 742 ----------------------------------------------- ------------ ------------- Total deferred tax credits $6,176 $7,396 ----------------------------------------------- ------------ -------------

The valuation allowance of $195 recorded at December 31, 2002 and 2001 is related to state tax credits. The state tax credits will expire between 2005 and 2017. 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, 2002. 49 8. PENSION PLANS AND NONPENSION POSTRETIREMENT 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. In addition, the Company has a supplemental employee retirement plan (SERP) covering certain employees. The 2001 and 2000 pension disclosure information has been restated to include the SERP. The changes in the projected benefit obligations and fair value of plan assets are as follows:

----------------------------------------------------------------- --------- --------- December 31, 2002 2001 ----------------------------------------------------------------- --------- --------- Change in projected benefit obligation: Projected benefit obligation, beginning of year $190,562 $164,373 Service cost 4,819 3,969 Interest cost 14,373 13,199 Plan amendments 1,445 11,014 Actuarial loss 12,803 9,967 Benefits paid (13,619) (11,960) ----------------------------------------------------------------- --------- --------- Projected benefit obligation, end of year $210,383 $190,562 ----------------------------------------------------------------- --------- --------- Change in fair value of plan assets: Fair value of plan assets, beginning of year $198,392 $222,648 Actual return on plan assets (12,016) (12,296) Benefits paid (13,619) (11,960) ----------------------------------------------------------------- --------- --------- Fair value of plan asset, end of year $172,757 $198,392 ----------------------------------------------------------------- --------- --------- Reconciliation of prepaid (accrued) cost: Funded Status of the plans $(37,626) $7,830 Unrecognized net loss 51,816 2,613 Unrecognized prior year service cost 16,257 16,340 Estimated accrued Royal Leerdam pension cost (4,601) -- Adjustment to recognize additional minimum liability (60,052) (829) ----------------------------------------------------------------- --------- --------- (Accrued) prepaid pension benefit cost $(34,206) $25,954 ----------------------------------------------------------------- --------- ---------

50 The pension plans are reflected in the consolidated balance sheets as follows:

--------------------------------------------------------- -------- -------- December 31, 2002 2001 --------------------------------------------------------- -------- -------- Pension (liability) asset $(28,655) $29,506 Other long-term liabilities (SERP liability) (5,551) (3,552) --------------------------------------------------------- -------- -------- (Accrued) prepaid pension benefit cost $(34,206) $25,954 --------------------------------------------------------- -------- -------- --------------------------------------------------------- -------- -------- December 31, 2002 2001 --------------------------------------------------------- -------- -------- Intangibles (intangible pension asset) $17,168 $282 --------------------------------------------------------- -------- --------

The plan amendments in 2001 resulted from additional benefits granted to certain of the Company's unionized workforce in labor negotiations. The Company recorded an additional minimum pension liability of $59,223 and $829 as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, representing the amount required to bring the Company's recorded pension liability to equal the excess of the accumulated benefit obligation over fair value of plan assets for the applicable plans. An intangible pension asset of $16,886 and $282 as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, was recorded to the extent of the plans' unrecognized prior service cost. The difference between the additional minimum pension liability and intangible pension asset was included as a reduction of other comprehensive income of $42,338 less income tax benefit of $15,919, and $365 less income tax benefit of $137 for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The actuarial present value of benefit obligations is based on the following:

-------------------------------------------------- -------- --------- --------- Year ended December 31, 2002 2001 2000 -------------------------------------------------- -------- --------- --------- Discount rate 6.75% 7.50% 7.75% Expected long-term rate of return on assets 9.00% 10.00% 10.00% Salary growth rate 4.00% 5.00% 5.00% -------------------------------------------------- -------- --------- ---------

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. 51 The components of the net pension credit (including the SERP) are as follows:

---------------------------------------------------- -------- -------- -------- Year ended December 31, 2002 2001 2000 ---------------------------------------------------- -------- -------- -------- Service cost (benefits earned during the period) $ 4,819 $ 3,969 $ 3,911 Interest cost on projected benefit obligation 14,373 13,199 12,471 Expected return on plan assets (23,158) (22,669) (21,245) Prior service cost amortization 1,527 536 536 Actuarial gain recognized (1,245) (2,120) (2,168) ---------------------------------------------------- -------- -------- -------- Net pension credit $(3,684) $(7,085) $(6,495) ---------------------------------------------------- -------- -------- --------

In addition to the above plans, U.S. employees are eligible to contribute to a 401(k) plan. The Company matches a portion of these contributions. Contributions were an expense of $2,138, $2,024 and $1,996 in 2002, 2001 and 2000, 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 postretirement benefits of Company retirees who had retired as of June 18, 1993. 52 The components of the nonpension postretirement benefit obligation and amounts accrued are as follows:

----------------------------------------------------------------- -------- -------- December 31, 2002 2001 ----------------------------------------------------------------- -------- -------- Change in accumulated nonpension postretirement benefit obligation: Benefit obligation, beginning of year $26,693 $20,855 Currency loss (gain) 27 (153) Service cost 736 590 Interest cost 2,360 1,911 Actuarial loss 9,665 4,845 Benefits paid (1,934) (1,355) ----------------------------------------------------------------- -------- -------- Benefit obligation, end of year $37,547 $26,693 ----------------------------------------------------------------- -------- -------- Reconciliation of funded status of plans: Funded Status $(37,547) $(26,693) Unrecognized actuarial gain (187) (10,064) Unrecognized prior year service cost (9,459) (11,374) ----------------------------------------------------------------- -------- -------- Accrued benefit cost $(47,193) $(48,131) ----------------------------------------------------------------- -------- --------

The provision for net nonpension postretirement benefit cost (credit) consists of the following:

-------------------------------------------------------------------- ------- ------- ------- Year ended December 31, 2002 2001 2000 -------------------------------------------------------------------- ------- ------- ------- Service cost (benefits earned during the period) $736 $590 $439 Interest cost on nonpension postretirement benefit obligation 2,360 1,911 1,549 Prior service cost amortization (2,162) (2,543) (2,883) -------------------------------------------------------------------- ------- ------- ------- Net nonpension postretirement benefit cost (credit) $934 $(42) $(895) -------------------------------------------------------------------- ------- ------- -------

Assumed health care cost inflation is based on an initial rate of 10.0% decreasing to an ultimate rate of 5.0% over 5 years. A 1% increase in these rates would have increased the nonpension postretirement expense by $76 and the benefit obligation by $854. A 1% decrease in these rates would have decreased the net nonpension postretirement expense by $91 and the benefit obligation by $870. The assumed discount rate used in determining the accumulated nonpension postretirement benefit obligation was 6.75% for 2002, 7.5% for 2001 and 7.75% for 2000. The Company continues to fund these nonpension postretirement benefit obligations as claims are incurred. 53 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 $312, $365 and $377 was charged to expense for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. 9. LONG-TERM DEBT On February 10, 2003, the Company entered into an unsecured agreement for an Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement (Revolving Credit Agreement or Agreement) among Libbey Glass Inc. and Libbey Europe B.V., as borrowers. This amended the previous Revolving Credit and Swing Line Facility naming Libbey Glass Inc. as borrower. The amendment was primarily for the Company to borrow euros. The Agreement is with a group of banks that provides for a Revolving Credit and Swing Line Facility (Facility) permitting borrowings up to an aggregate total of $250 million, maturing April 23, 2005, with an option to extend for two additional one-year periods. Swing Line borrowings are limited to $25 million with interest calculated at the prime rate minus the facility fee percentage (Facility Fee Percentage) as defined in the Agreement. Revolving Credit Agreement U.S. dollar borrowings bear interest at the Company's option at either the prime rate minus the Facility Fee Percentage or a Eurodollar rate plus the Applicable Eurodollar Margin (Applicable Eurodollar Margin) as defined in the Agreement. The Facility Fee Percentage and Applicable Eurodollar Margin vary depending on the Company's performance against certain financial ratios. The Facility Fee Percentage and the Applicable Eurodollar Margin were 0.25% and 0.75%, respectively, at December 31, 2002. The Company may also elect to borrow under a Negotiated Rate Loan alternative of the Revolving Credit and Swing Line Facility at floating rates of interest, up to a maximum of $125 million. The Company had $186 million outstanding under the Facility at December 31, 2002, and $143 million outstanding at December 31, 2001. The Facility also provides for the issuance of $30 million of letters of credit, with such usage applied against the $250 million limit. At December 31, 2002, the Company had $4.7 million in letters of credit outstanding under the Facility. Libbey Europe B.V. may have euro-denominated borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement in an amount not to exceed the Offshore Currency equivalent of $60 million. Offshore Currency Swing Line borrowings are currently limited to $10 million of the $25 million total Swing Line borrowing. Interest is calculated at the Offshore Currency Swing Line rate plus applicable Offshore Currency Swing Line Margin, as defined in the Agreement. Revolving Offshore Currency Borrowings bear interest at the Offshore Currency Rate plus applicable spread, as defined in the Agreement. In September 2001, the Company issued a $2.7 million promissory note in connection with the purchase of a warehouse facility. At December 31, 2002, the Company had $2.5 million outstanding on the promissory note. 54 Annual maturities for all the Company's long-term debt are as follows: 2003 - $0.1 million; 2004 - $0.1 million; 2005 - $186.1 million; 2006 - $0.1 million; and 2007 - $0.2 million. The Company has Rate Agreements with respect to $100 million of debt as a means to manage its exposure to fluctuating interest rates. The Rate Agreements effectively convert this portion of the Company's borrowings from variable rate debt to a fixed-rate basis, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future income. The fixed interest rate for the Company's borrowings related to the Rate Agreements at December 31, 2002, is 5.8% and the total interest rate, including applicable fees, is 6.8%. The average maturity of these Rate Agreements is 2.3 years at December 31, 2002. Total remaining debt not covered by the Rate Agreements has fluctuating interest rates with a weighted average rate of 2.4% at December 31, 2002. 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, 2002, the carrying value of the Company's variable-rate 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, 2002, was $(8.8) 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 $8,115, $10,785, and $12,001 for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000. 10. STOCK COMPENSATION On May 10, 2001 the shareholders approved the 2002 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) which allows employees through payroll withholdings to purchase up to 350,000 shares of common stock at the lower of 85% of the market price at the beginning or the end of the option period. The Libbey Inc. 2002 ESPP started June 1, 2002 and continues through May 31, 2003. The market price of stock at the beginning of the period was $34.60. There have been no shares purchased yet under this plan. Up to 350,000 shares of common stock may currently be purchased under the ESPP. 55 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 25) in accounting for employee stock options. The alternative fair value accounting provided for under SFAS No. 123 requires use of option valuation models that were not developed for use in valuing employee stock options. Under APB 25, no compensation expense is recognized because the exercise price of the 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 SFAS No. 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 2002 2001 2000 ---------------------------------------- ------- ------- ------- Risk-free interest rates 3.7% 4.2% 6.0% Dividend yield 1.2% 0.9% 0.9% Volatility .31 .30 .29 ---------------------------------------- ------- ------- -------

56 The weighted average fair value of options granted in 2002, 2001 and 2000 was $9.11, $13.25 and $14.12, respectively. 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, 2002 2001 2000 ---------------------------------------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Net income: Reported $28,055 $39,392 $46,866 Pro forma $26,544 $38,115 $45,625 Earnings per share: Basic Reported $1.84 $2.58 $3.07 Pro forma $1.74 $2.49 $2.99 Diluted Reported $1.82 $2.53 $3.01 Pro forma $1.72 $2.45 $2.93 ---------------------------------------- ---------- ---------- ----------

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 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 $6,823, $5,235 and $4,705 for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Future minimum rentals under operating leases are as follows: 2003--$4,386; 2004--$3,268; 2005--$2,149; 2006--$1,425; 2007--$1,101; and 2008 and thereafter--$3,025. In 2002, the Company recorded a $1.2 million expense related to the operating lease for the Company's corporate offices. 59 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 2002, 2001 and 2000 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. During 2003, the Company will re-evaluate its reportable segment disclosures due to the acquisitions that took place in December 2002.
