Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1.
Description of the Business

Libbey is a leading global manufacturer and marketer of glass tableware products. We believe we have the largest manufacturing, distribution and service network among glass tableware manufacturers in the Western Hemisphere, in addition to supplying to key markets throughout the world. We produce glass tableware in five countries and sell to customers in over 100 countries. We design and market, under our Libbey®, Crisa®, Royal Leerdam®, World® Tableware, Syracuse® China and Crisal Glass® brand names (among others), an extensive line of high-quality glass tableware, ceramic dinnerware, metal flatware, hollowware and serveware items for sale primarily in the foodservice, retail and business-to-business markets. Our sales force presents our products to the global marketplace in a coordinated fashion. We own and operate two glass tableware manufacturing plants in the United States as well as glass tableware manufacturing plants in the Netherlands (Libbey Holland), Portugal (Libbey Portugal), China (Libbey China) and Mexico (Libbey Mexico). In addition, we import products from overseas in order to complement our line of manufactured items. The combination of manufacturing and procurement allows us to compete in the global tableware market by offering an extensive product line at competitive prices.

Our website can be found at www.libbey.com. We make available, free of charge, at this website all of our reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including our annual report on Form 10-K, our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, our current reports on Form 8-K, as well as amendments to those reports. These reports are made available on our website as soon as reasonably practicable after their filing with, or furnishing to, the Securities and Exchange Commission and can also be found at www.sec.gov.

Our shares are traded on the NYSE MKT exchange under the ticker symbol LBY.

Significant Accounting Policies

See our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 for a description of significant accounting policies not listed below.

Basis of Presentation

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include Libbey Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively, Libbey or the Company). Our fiscal year end is December 31st. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from management’s estimates.

Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations

Net sales in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations include revenue earned when products are shipped and title and risk of loss have passed to the customer. Revenue is recorded net of returns, discounts and incentives offered to customers. Cost of sales includes cost to manufacture and/or purchase products, warehouse, shipping and delivery costs and other costs.

Foreign Currency Translation

Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. subsidiaries that operate in a local currency environment, where that local currency is the functional currency, are translated to U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, with the resulting translation adjustments directly recorded to a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Income and expense accounts are translated at average exchange rates during the year. The effect of exchange rate changes on transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency is recorded in other income (expense).

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax attribute carry-forwards. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification™ (FASB ASC) Topic 740, “Income Taxes,”

8

Table of Contents

requires that a valuation allowance be recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined separately for each tax jurisdiction in which we conduct our operations or otherwise incur taxable income or losses. In the United States, Portugal and the Netherlands, we have recorded valuation allowances against our deferred income tax assets. See note 6 for further discussion.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

We account for stock-based compensation expense in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation — Stock Compensation,” and FASB ASC Topic 505-50, “Equity — Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees”. Stock-based compensation cost is measured based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued. FASB ASC Topics 718 and 505-50 apply to all of our outstanding unvested stock-based payment awards. Stock-based compensation expense charged to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations is as follows:

New Accounting Standards

In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” (ASU 2013-02). ASU 2013-02 requires companies to present, either in a note or parenthetically on the face of the financial statements, the effect of amounts reclassified from each component of accumulated other comprehensive income based on its source and the income statement line items affected by the reclassification. This update is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. Required interim disclosures have been made in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at March 31, 2013.

Amended and Restated ABL Credit Agreement

Libbey Glass and Libbey Europe entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of February 8, 2010 and amended as of April 29, 2011 and May 18, 2012 (as amended, the ABL Facility), with a group of four financial institutions. The ABL Facility provides for borrowings of up to $100.0 million, subject to certain borrowing base limitations, reserves and outstanding letters of credit.

All borrowings under the ABL Facility are secured by:
a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the existing and future personal property of Libbey Glass and its domestic subsidiaries (Credit Agreement Priority Collateral);
a first-priority security interest in:
100 percent of the stock of Libbey Glass and 100 percent of the stock of substantially all of Libbey Glass’s present and future direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries;
100 percent of the non-voting stock of substantially all of Libbey Glass’s first-tier present and future foreign subsidiaries; and
65 percent of the voting stock of substantially all of Libbey Glass’s first-tier present and future foreign subsidiaries
a first priority security interest in substantially all proceeds and products of the property and assets described above; and
a second-priority security interest in substantially all of the owned real property, equipment and fixtures in the United States of Libbey Glass and its domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens (Notes Priority Collateral).

Additionally, borrowings by Libbey Europe under the ABL Facility are secured by:
a first-priority lien on substantially all of the existing and future real and personal property of Libbey Europe and its Dutch subsidiaries; and
a first-priority security interest in:
100 percent of the stock of Libbey Europe and 100 percent of the stock of substantially all of the Dutch subsidiaries; and
100 percent (or a lesser percentage in certain circumstances) of the outstanding stock issued by the first-tier foreign subsidiaries of Libbey Europe and its Dutch subsidiaries.

Swingline borrowings are limited to $15.0 million, with swingline borrowings for Libbey Europe being limited to the US equivalent of $7.5 million. Loans comprising each CBFR (CB Floating Rate) Borrowing, including each Swingline Loan, bear interest at the CB Floating Rate plus the Applicable Rate, and euro-denominated swingline borrowings (Eurocurrency Loans) bear interest calculated at the Netherlands swingline rate, as defined in the ABL Facility. The Applicable Rates for CBFR Loans and Eurocurrency Loans vary depending on our aggregate remaining availability. The Applicable Rates for CBFR Loans and

11

Table of Contents

Eurocurrency Loans were 0.50 percent and 1.50 percent, respectively, at March 31, 2013. Libbey pays a quarterly Commitment Fee, as defined by the ABL Facility, on the total credit provided under the ABL Facility. The Commitment Fee was 0.375 percent at March 31, 2013. No compensating balances are required by the Agreement. The Agreement does not require compliance with a fixed charge coverage ratio covenant, unless aggregate unused availability falls below $10.0 million. If our aggregate unused ABL availability were to fall below $10.0 million, the fixed charge coverage ratio requirement would be 1:00 to 1:00. Libbey Glass and Libbey Europe have the option to increase the ABL Facility by $25.0 million. There were no Libbey Glass or Libbey Europe borrowings under the facility at March 31, 2013, or at December 31, 2012. Interest is payable on the last day of the interest period, which can range from one month to six months depending on the maturity of each individual borrowing on the facility.

The borrowing base under the ABL Facility is determined by a monthly analysis of the eligible accounts receivable and inventory. The borrowing base is the sum of (a) 85 percent of eligible accounts receivable and (b) the lesser of (i) 85 percent of the net orderly liquidation value (NOLV) of eligible inventory, (ii) 65 percent of eligible inventory, or (iii) $75.0 million.

The available total borrowing base is offset by rent reserves totaling $0.7 million as of March 31, 2013. The ABL Facility also provides for the issuance of $30.0 million of letters of credit, which are applied against the $100.0 million limit. At March 31, 2013, we had $8.5 million in letters of credit outstanding under the ABL Facility. Remaining unused availability under the ABL Facility was $73.3 million at March 31, 2013, compared to $68.6 million under the ABL Facility at December 31, 2012.

Senior Secured Notes

On May 18, 2012, Libbey Glass closed its offering of the $450.0 million Senior Secured Notes. The notes offering was issued at par and had related fees of approximately $13.6 million. These fees will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the notes.

The Senior Secured Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated May 18, 2012 (Notes Indenture), between Libbey Glass, the Company, the domestic subsidiaries of Libbey Glass listed as guarantors therein (Subsidiary Guarantors and together with the Company, Guarantors), and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (Notes Trustee) and collateral agent. Under the terms of the Notes Indenture, the Senior Secured Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.875 percent per year and will mature on May 15, 2020. Although the Notes Indenture does not contain financial covenants, the Notes Indenture contains other covenants that restrict the ability of Libbey Glass and the Guarantors to, among other things:

incur, assume or guarantee additional indebtedness;
pay dividends, make certain investments or other restricted payments;
create liens;
enter into affiliate transactions;
merge or consolidate, or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all the assets of Libbey Glass and the Guarantors; and
transfer or sell assets.

The Notes Indenture provides for customary events of default. In the case of an event of default arising from bankruptcy or insolvency as defined in the Notes Indenture, all outstanding Senior Secured Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other event of default under the Notes Indenture occurs or is continuing, the Notes Trustee or holders of at least 25 percent in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Senior Secured Notes may declare all the Senior Secured Notes to be due and payable immediately.

The Senior Secured Notes and the related guarantees under the Notes Indenture are secured by (i) first priority liens on the Notes Priority Collateral and (ii) second priority liens on the Credit Agreement Priority Collateral.

Prior to May 15, 2015, we may redeem in the aggregate up to 35 percent of the Senior Secured Notes with the net cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings at a redemption price of 106.875 percent of the principal amount, provided that at least 65 percent of the original principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes must remain outstanding after each redemption and that each redemption occurs within 90 days of the closing of the equity offering. In addition, prior to May 15, 2015, but not more than once in any twelve-month period, we may redeem up to 10 percent of the Senior Secured Notes at a redemption price of 103 percent plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Senior Secured Notes are redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, at any time on or after May 15, 2015 at set redemption prices together with accrued and unpaid interest.

We had an Interest Rate Agreement (Old Rate Agreement) in place through April 18, 2012 with respect to $80.0 million of our former Senior Secured Notes as a means to manage our fixed to variable interest rate ratio. The Old Rate Agreement effectively converted this portion of our long-term borrowings from fixed rate debt to variable rate debt. The variable interest rate for our

12

Table of Contents

borrowings related to the Old Rate Agreement at April 18, 2012, excluding applicable fees, was 7.79 percent. Total remaining Senior Secured Notes not covered by the Old Rate Agreement had a fixed interest rate of 10.0 percent  per year. On April 18, 2012, the swap was called at fair value. We received proceeds of $3.6 million. During the second quarter of 2012, $0.1 million of the carrying value adjustment on debt related to the Old Rate Agreement was amortized into interest expense. Upon the refinancing of the former Senior Secured Notes, the remaining unamortized balance of $3.5 million of the carrying value adjustment on debt related to the Old Rate Agreement was recognized as a gain in the loss on redemption of debt on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

On June 18, 2012, we entered into an Interest Rate Agreement (New Rate Agreement) with respect to $45.0 million of our Senior Secured Notes as a means to manage our fixed to variable interest rate ratio. The New Rate Agreement effectively converts this portion of our long-term borrowings from fixed rate debt to variable rate debt. Prior to May 15, 2015, but not more than once in any twelve-month period, the counterparty may call up to 10 percent of the New Rate Agreement at a call price of 103 percent. The New Rate Agreement is callable at the counterparty’s option, in whole or in part, at any time on or after May 15, 2015 at set call premiums. The variable interest rate for our borrowings related to the New Rate Agreement at March 31, 2013, excluding applicable fees, is 5.6 percent. The New Rate Agreement expires on May 15, 2020. Total remaining Senior Secured Notes not covered by the New Rate Agreement have a fixed interest rate of 6.875 percent per year through May 15, 2020. If the counterparty to this New Rate Agreement were to fail to perform, this New Rate Agreement would no longer afford us a variable rate. However, we do not anticipate non-performance by the counterparty. The interest rate swap counterparty was rated A+, as of March 31, 2013, by Standard and Poor’s.

The fair value of the Old and New Rate Agreements are based on the market standard methodology of netting the discounted expected future fixed cash receipts and the discounted future variable cash payments. The variable cash payments are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observed market interest rate forward curves. See note 9 for further discussion.

Promissory Note

In September 2001, we issued a $2.7 million promissory note at an interest rate of 6.0 percent in connection with the purchase of our Laredo, Texas warehouse facility. At March 31, 2013, we had $0.8 million outstanding on the promissory note. Principal and interest with respect to the promissory note are paid monthly.

Notes Payable

We have an overdraft line of credit for a maximum of €1.0 million. At March 31, 2013, there were no borrowings under the facility, which has an interest rate of 5.80 percent. Interest with respect to the note is paid monthly.

RMB Loan Contract

On January 23, 2006, Libbey Glassware (China) Co., Ltd. (Libbey China), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Libbey Inc., entered into an RMB Loan Contract (RMB Loan Contract) with China Construction Bank Corporation Langfang Economic Development Area Sub-Branch (CCB). Pursuant to the RMB Loan Contract, CCB agreed to lend to Libbey China RMB 250.0 million, or the equivalent of approximately $39.9 million, for the construction of our production facility in China and the purchase of related equipment, materials and services. The loan has a term of eight years and bears interest at a variable rate as announced by the People’s Bank of China. As of the date of the initial advance under the Loan Contract, the annual interest rate

13

Table of Contents

was 5.51 percent, and as of March 31, 2013, the annual interest rate was 5.90 percent. As of March 31, 2013, the outstanding balance was RMB 60.0 million (approximately $9.6 million) which is due on January 20, 2014. Interest is payable quarterly. The obligations of Libbey China are secured by a guarantee executed by Libbey Inc. for the benefit of CCB and a mortgage lien on the Libbey China facility.

BES Euro Line

In January 2007, Crisal (Libbey Portugal) entered into a seven-year €11.0 million line of credit (approximately $14.1 million) with Banco Espírito Santo, S.A. (BES). The $4.2 million outstanding at March 31, 2013, was the U.S. dollar equivalent of the €3.3 million outstanding under the line at an interest rate of 5.32 percent. Payment of principal in the amount of €3.3 million (approximately $4.2 million) is due in December 2013. Interest with respect to the line is paid semi-annually.

AICEP Loan

In July 2012, Libbey Portugal entered into a loan agreement with Agencia para Investmento Comercio Externo de Portugal, EPE (AICEP), the Portuguese Agency for investment and external trade. The amount of the loan is €1.0 million (approximately $1.2 million) and has an interest rate of 0.0 percent. Semi-annual installments of principal are due beginning in January 2016 through the maturity date of July 2018.

Fair Value of Borrowings

The fair value of our debt has been calculated based on quoted market prices (Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy) for the same or similar issues. Our $450.0 million Senior Secured Notes had an estimated fair value of $483.8 million and $488.3 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The fair value of the remainder of our debt approximates carrying value at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 due to variable rates.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

Historically, cash flows generated from operations, cash on hand and our borrowing capacity under our ABL Facility have enabled us to meet our cash requirements, including capital expenditures and working capital requirements. At March 31, 2013 we had no borrowings under our ABL Facility, although we had $8.5 million of letters of credit issued under that facility. As a result, we had $73.3 million of unused availability remaining under the ABL Facility at March 31, 2013. In addition, we had $45.9 million of cash on hand at March 31, 2013.

Based on our operating plans and current forecast expectations, we anticipate that our level of cash on hand, cash flows from operations and our borrowing capacity under our ABL Facility will provide sufficient cash availability to meet our ongoing liquidity needs.

As previously announced on March 22, 2013, Libbey Glass Inc. redeemed, on May 7, 2013, an aggregate principal amount of $45.0 million of our outstanding Senior Secured Notes due 2020. We funded this redemption using cash on hand and borrowings under our ABL Facility.

Restructuring Charges

Capacity Realignment

In February 2013, we announced our plans to discontinue production of certain glassware in North America and reduce manufacturing capacity at our Shreveport, Louisiana manufacturing facility. As a result, on May 30, 2013, we will cease production of certain glassware in North America, discontinue the use of a furnace at our Shreveport, Louisiana manufacturing plant and relocate a portion of the production from the idled furnace to our Toledo, Ohio and Monterrey, Mexico locations. These activities are all within the Americas segment and are expected to be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2014. In connection with this plan, we expect to incur a pretax charge in the range of approximately $8.0 million to $10.0 million. This estimate consists of: (i) up to $4.5 million in fixed asset impairment charges, (ii) up to $2.5 million in severance and other employee related costs and (iii) up to $3.0 million in production transfer expenses. We expect approximately $5.0 million of the pretax charge to result in cash expenditures, most of which is expected to be paid throughout the remainder of 2013. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, we recorded a pretax charge of $4.9 million, which included employee termination costs, fixed asset impairment charges and depreciation expense. Employee termination costs include severance, medical benefits and outplacement services for the employees that will be terminated. The write-down of fixed assets is to adjust certain machinery and equipment to the estimated fair market value.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate was 25.0 percent for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, compared to 83.7 percent for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. Our effective tax rate differs from the United States statutory tax rate primarily due to valuation allowances, changes in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in accruals related to uncertain tax positions and tax planning structures. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had $1.0 million and $1.5 million, respectively, of gross unrecognized tax benefits, exclusive of interest and penalties. During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, we recorded an income tax benefit, exclusive of interest and penalties, of $0.5 million due to the reversal of an accrual for an uncertain tax position that expired under the statute of limitations.

Our current and future provision for income taxes for 2013 is significantly impacted by valuation allowances. In the United States, the Netherlands and Portugal, we have recorded valuation allowances against our deferred income tax assets. We did not change our conclusion related to entities with a recorded valuation allowance for the three months ended March 31, 2013, or the three months ended March 31, 2012. In assessing the need for recording or releasing a valuation allowance, we weigh all available positive and negative evidence. Examples of the evidence we consider are cumulative losses in recent years, losses expected in early future years, a history of potential tax benefits expiring unused, prudent and feasible tax planning strategies that could be implemented, and whether there was an unusual, infrequent or extraordinary item to be considered. Based on our analysis of all available evidence, we intend to maintain these allowances until it is more likely than not that the deferred income tax assets will be realized. We will continue to monitor and assess the need for these allowances quarterly in each jurisdiction.

Pension and Non-pension Postretirement Benefits

We have pension plans covering the majority of our employees. Benefits generally are based on compensation for salaried employees and job grade and length of service for hourly employees. Our policy is to fund pension plans such that sufficient assets will be available to meet future benefit requirements. In addition, we have an unfunded supplemental employee retirement plan (SERP) that covers certain salaried U.S.-based employees of Libbey hired before January 1, 2006. The U.S. pension plans cover the salaried U.S.-based employees of Libbey hired before January 1, 2006 and most hourly U.S.-based employees (excluding employees hired at Shreveport after 2008 and at Toledo after September 30, 2010). Effective January 1, 2013, we ceased annual company contribution credits to the cash balance accounts in our Libbey U.S. Salaried Pension Plan and SERP. The non-U.S. pension plans cover the employees of our wholly owned subsidiaries in the Netherlands and Mexico. The plan in Mexico is not funded.

The components of our net pension expense, including the SERP, are as follows:

During the first three months of 2012, we incurred pension settlement charges totaling $0.4 million. The pension settlement charges were triggered by excess lump sum distributions, which required us to record unrecognized gains and losses in our pension plan accounts. We have contributed $0.7 million of cash into our pension plans for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Pension contributions for the remainder of 2013 are estimated to be $5.7 million.

We provide certain retiree health care and life insurance benefits covering our U.S and Canadian salaried and non-union hourly employees hired before January 1, 2004 and a majority of our union hourly employees (excluding employees hired at Shreveport after 2008 and at Toledo after September 30, 2010). Employees are generally eligible for benefits upon retirement and completion of a specified number of years of creditable service. Effective January 1, 2013, we ended our existing healthcare benefit for salaried retirees age 65 and older and are now providing a Retiree Health Reimbursement Arrangement (RHRA) that supports retirees in purchasing a Medicare plan that meets their needs. Also effective January 1, 2013, we reduced the maximum life insurance benefit for salaried retirees to $10,000. Benefits for most hourly retirees are determined by collective bargaining. The U.S. non-pension postretirement plans cover the hourly and salaried U.S.-based employees of Libbey (excluding those mentioned above). The non-U.S. non-pension postretirement plans cover the retirees and active employees of Libbey who are located in Canada. The postretirement benefit plans are not funded.

The provision for our non-pension postretirement benefit expense consists of the following:

Derivatives

We utilize derivative financial instruments to hedge certain interest rate risks associated with our long-term debt, commodity price risks associated with forecasted future natural gas requirements and foreign exchange rate risks associated with transactions denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar. Most of these derivatives, except for the foreign currency contracts, qualify for hedge accounting since the hedges are highly effective, and we have designated and documented contemporaneously the hedging relationships involving these derivative instruments. While we intend to continue to meet the conditions for hedge accounting, if hedges do not qualify as highly effective or if we do not believe that forecasted transactions would occur, the changes in the fair value of the derivatives used as hedges would be reflected in our earnings. All of these contracts were accounted for under FASB ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging.”

Interest Rate Swaps as Fair Value Hedges

On June 18, 2012, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement (New Rate Agreement) with a notional amount of $45.0 million that is to mature in 2020. The New Rate Agreement was executed in order to convert a portion of the Senior Secured Notes fixed rate debt into floating rate debt and maintain a capital structure containing fixed and floating rate debt.

Our fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps are designated and qualify as a fair value hedges. The change in the fair value of the derivative instrument related to the future cash flows (gain or loss on the derivative), as well as the offsetting change in the fair value of the hedged long-term debt attributable to the hedged risk, are recognized in current earnings. We include the gain or loss on the hedged long-term debt in other income (expense), along with the offsetting loss or gain on the related interest rate swap on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The following table provides a summary of the gain (loss) recognized on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations:

Commodity Futures Contracts Designated as Cash Flow Hedges

We use commodity futures contracts related to forecasted future North American natural gas requirements. The objective of these futures contracts and other derivatives is to limit the fluctuations in prices paid due to price movements in the underlying commodity. We consider our forecasted natural gas requirements in determining the quantity of natural gas to hedge. We combine the forecasts with historical observations to establish the percentage of forecast eligible to be hedged, typically

18

Table of Contents

ranging from 40 percent to 70 percent of our anticipated requirements, up to eighteen months in the future. The fair values of these instruments are determined from market quotes. As of March 31, 2013, we had commodity contracts for 1,720,000 million British Thermal Units (BTUs) of natural gas. At December 31, 2012, we had commodity contracts for 2,400,000 million BTUs of natural gas.

All of our natural gas derivatives qualify and are designated as cash flow hedges at March 31, 2013. Hedge accounting is applied only when the derivative is deemed to be highly effective at offsetting changes in fair values or anticipated cash flows of the hedged item or transaction. For hedged forecasted transactions, hedge accounting is discontinued if the forecasted transaction is no longer probable to occur, and any previously deferred gains or losses would be recorded to earnings immediately. Changes in the effective portion of the fair value of these hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). The ineffective portion of the change in the fair value of a derivative designated as a cash flow hedge is recognized in current earnings. As the natural gas contracts mature, the accumulated gains (losses) for the respective contracts are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to current expense in cost of sales in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. We paid additional cash of $0.2 million and $1.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, due to the difference between the fixed unit rate of our natural gas contracts and the variable unit rate of our natural gas cost from suppliers. Based on our current valuation, we estimate that accumulated losses currently carried in accumulated other comprehensive gain that will be reclassified into earnings over the next twelve months will result in $0.8 million of income in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Currency Contracts

Our foreign currency exposure arises from transactions denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar primarily associated with our Canadian dollar denominated accounts receivable. We enter into a series of foreign currency contracts to sell Canadian dollars. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had contracts for C$11.7 million and C$14.8 million, respectively. The fair values of these instruments are determined from market quotes. The values of these derivatives will change over time as cash receipts and payments are made and as market conditions change.

Gains (losses) for derivatives that were not designated as hedging instruments are recorded in current earnings as follows:

Under this structure, we now report financial results for the Americas; Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA); and Other. In addition, sales and segment EBIT reflect end market reporting pursuant to which sales and related costs are included in segment EBIT based on the geographical destination of the sale. The revised segment results do not affect any previously reported consolidated financial results. Our two reportable segments are defined below. Our operating segments that do not meet the criteria for reportable segments are disclosed as Other.

Americas—includes worldwide sales of manufactured and sourced glass tableware having an end market destination in North
and South America.

EMEA—includes worldwide sales of manufactured and sourced glass tableware having an end market destination in Europe,
the Middle East and Africa.

Other —includes worldwide sales of manufactured and sourced glass tableware having an end market destination in
Asia Pacific and worldwide sales of sourced ceramic dinnerware, metal tableware, hollowware, and serveware.

Our measure of profit for our reportable segments is Segment Earnings before Interest and Taxes (Segment EBIT) and excludes amounts related to certain items we consider not representative of ongoing operations as well as certain retained corporate costs. We use Segment EBIT, along with net sales and selected cash flow information, to evaluate performance and to allocate resources. Segment EBIT for reportable segments includes an allocation of some corporate expenses based on the costs of services performed.

Certain activities not related to any particular reportable segment are reported within retained corporate costs. These costs include certain headquarter, administrative and facility costs, and other costs that are global in nature and are not allocable to the reporting segments.

The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in note 2. We do not have any customers who represent 10 percent or more of total sales. Inter-segment sales are consummated at arm’s length and are reflected at end market reporting below.

Fair Value

FASB ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. FASB ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into three broad levels as follows:

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs based on our own assumptions.

The fair values of our commodity futures natural gas contracts and currency contracts are determined using observable market inputs. The fair value of our interest rate agreement is based on the market standard methodology of netting the discounted expected future fixed cash receipts and the discounted future variable cash payments. The variable cash payments are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observed market interest rate forward curves. Since these inputs are observable in active markets over the terms that the instruments are held, the derivatives are classified as Level 2 in the hierarchy. We also evaluate Company and counterparty risk in determining fair values. The commodity futures natural gas contracts, interest rate protection agreements and currency contracts are hedges of either recorded assets or liabilities or anticipated transactions. Changes in values of the underlying hedged assets and liabilities or anticipated transactions are not reflected in the above table.

Contingencies

We are currently undergoing an unclaimed property audit that is being conducted by various state authorities. The property subject to review in this audit process generally includes unclaimed wages, vendor payments and customer refunds. State escheat laws generally require entities to report and remit abandoned and unclaimed property. Failure to timely report and remit the property can result in assessments that include interest and penalties, in addition to the payment of the escheat liability itself. We may have obligations associated with unclaimed property in an estimated amount of approximately $2.7 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. While we have recorded this estimate as an expense in the third quarter of 2011, it is too early to determine the ultimate outcome of these audits and, as a result, our actual obligations may be less than or greater than the amount we have recorded. At this time, we believe that the impact of these adjustments is not material to our results of operations.

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report and in our Annual Report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors. Our risk factors are set forth in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Overview

While the Mexican economy appears to have stabilized, the other economies in which we operate continued to be challenging during the first quarter of 2013 and we expect them to remain as such for the balance of the year. The U.S. economy during the first quarter of 2013 experienced the negative effects of the increased 2.0 percent FICA tax, slower receipt by consumers of income tax refunds and a more severe winter season compared to the mild winter season in the first quarter of 2012. The European economy remains soft, and the rate of growth has slowed considerably in China as compared to the first half of 2012. As a result of these factors, our net sales declined 2.3 percent in the first quarter 2013 as compared to the first quarter of 2012. Despite these conditions, we achieved record first quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $26.2 million, an improvement of 5.2 percent over our previous best first quarter in 2012 of $24.9 million, as a result of our commitment to improving our cost structure while leveraging our leadership positions in key lines of business and strengthening our balance sheet.

Strengthening our balance sheet remains a high priority. As of March 31, 2013, we had available capacity of $73.3 million under our ABL credit facility, with no loans currently outstanding and $45.9 million in cash on hand. Libbey Glass Inc. redeemed $45.0 million of our Senior Secured Notes on May 7, 2013.

We continue to successfully implement "Libbey 2015", our comprehensive business strategy launched in the second half of 2012 to improve our financial position and our ability to compete effectively in the market today and into the future. Libbey 2015 is centered on reducing our costs and boosting efficiency, reinforcing our leadership position in key channels (particularly U.S. foodservice and Mexico foodservice and retail), accelerating growth in the Asia Pacific region and reducing our liabilities and the working capital required to operate the core business. In February 2013, we announced our plans to discontinue production of certain glassware in North America and reduce manufacturing capacity at our Shreveport, Louisiana manufacturing facility. As a result, on May 30, 2013, we will cease production of certain glassware in North America, discontinue the use of a furnace at our Shreveport, Louisiana manufacturing plant and relocate a portion of the production from the idled furnace to our Toledo, Ohio and Monterrey, Mexico locations. These activities are all within the Americas segment and are expected to be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2014. In connection with this plan, we expect to incur a pretax charge in the range of approximately $8.0 million to $10.0 million. Of that amount, we recorded a pretax charge of $4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, which included employee termination costs, fixed asset impairment charges and depreciation expense. (See note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion.)

Effective January 1, 2013, we revised our reporting segments to align with our previously announced regionally focused organizational structure which will enable us to better serve customers across the globe. Under this structure, we now report financial results for the Americas; Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA); and Other. In addition, sales and segment EBIT reflect end market reporting pursuant to which sales and related costs are included in segment EBIT based on the geographical destination of the sale. The revised segment results do not affect any previously reported consolidated financial results. Our two reportable segments are defined below. Our operating segments that do not meet the criteria for reportable segments are disclosed as Other.

Americas—includes worldwide sales of manufactured and sourced glass tableware having an end market destination in North
and South America.

EMEA—includes worldwide sales of manufactured and sourced glass tableware having an end market destination in Europe,
the Middle East and Africa.

Other —includes worldwide sales of manufactured and sourced glass tableware having an end market destination in
Asia Pacific and worldwide sales of sourced ceramic dinnerware, metal tableware, hollowware, and serveware.

We believe that EBIT, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, all non-GAAP financial measures, are useful metrics for evaluating our financial performance, as they are measures that we use internally to assess our performance. For a reconciliation from net income to EBIT, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA, see the "Adjusted EBITDA" section below in the Discussion of First Quarter 2013 Compared to First Quarter 2012 and the reasons we believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful.

The three month period ended March 31, 2013 includes $0.6 million of accelerated depreciation on fixed assets that were impaired from discontinuing production of certain glassware in North America and reducing manufacturing capacity at our Shreveport, Louisiana, manufacturing facility. (See note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.)

In addition to item (2) above, the three month period ended March 31, 2013 includes $4.3 million in charges related to discontinuing production of certain glassware in North America and reducing manufacturing capacity at our Shreveport, Louisiana, manufacturing facility.

Discussion of First Quarter 2013 Compared to First Quarter 2012
Net Sales
For the quarter ended March 31, 2013, net sales decreased 2.3 percent to $183.5 million, compared to $187.8 million in the year-ago quarter. When adjusted for currency impact, net sales were down 2.8 percent. The decrease in net sales was attributable to decreased sales of $6.1 million in the Americas, partially offset by a $3.5 million increase in EMEA net sales.

Net Sales Americas

Net sales in the Americas were $123.5 million, compared to $129.7 million in the first quarter of 2012, a decrease of 4.7 percent (a decrease of 5.2 percent excluding currency fluctuation). The primary contributor was an 8.6 percent decrease in sales within our US and Canadian end market due to weaker retail and foodservice sales. The negative impact was caused by the increased 2.0 percent FICA tax, slower receipt by consumers of income tax refunds and a more severe winter season, in the

31

Table of Contents

northern part of the country, compared to the mild winter season in the first quarter of 2012. Partially offsetting this was a 4.5 percent increase in sales to customers within our Mexican and Latin American end market driven by foodservice and retail sales resulting from a more favorable mix of product sold.

Net Sales EMEA

Net sales in EMEA were $34.2 million, compared to $30.8 million in the first quarter of 2012, an increase of 11.2 percent (an increase of 10.4 percent excluding currency fluctuation). The primary contributor to the increased net sales was increased shipments to EMEA customers.

Gross Profit

Gross profit decreased to $42.2 million in the first quarter of 2013, compared to $43.1 million in the prior year quarter. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales remained flat as compared to the prior year period. The primary drivers of the $0.8 million gross profit decrease were $6.2 million attributable to decreased production activity net of volume-related production costs due to a significant furnace rebuild within the Americas and a $0.5 million impact of lower sales. Partially offsetting these are a favorable currency impact of $1.3 million and lower non-volume related production costs of $4.6 million.

Income From Operations

Income from operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 decreased $3.4 million, to $11.5 million, compared to $14.9 million in the prior year quarter. Income from operations as a percentage of net sales was 6.3 percent for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, compared to 7.9 percent in the prior year quarter. The decrease in income from operations is the result of the decrease in gross profit (discussed above) and the $4.3 million special charge related to discontinuing production of certain glassware in North America and reducing manufacturing capacity at our Shreveport, Louisiana, manufacturing facility, partially offset by a $1.7 million reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses. The reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses was driven in large part by the staffing reductions and benefit changes implemented in the second half of 2012.

Earnings Before Interest and Income Taxes (EBIT)

EBIT for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 decreased by $3.3 million, to $11.1 million from $14.3 million in the first quarter of 2012. EBIT as a percentage of net sales decreased to 6.0 percent in the first quarter of 2013, compared to 7.6 percent in the prior year quarter. The decrease in EBIT is a result of the decrease in income from operations (discussed above).

Segment EBIT Americas

Segment EBIT increased to $18.2 million in the first quarter of 2013, compared to $15.7 million in the first quarter of 2012. Segment EBIT as a percentage of net sales for the Americas increased to 14.7 percent in the first quarter of 2013, compared to 12.1 percent in the prior year period. The primary drivers of the $2.5 million increase in Segment EBIT were a $1.4 million

Table of Contents

favorable currency impact and a $1.7 million favorable impact from changes in selling, general, administrative and other income (expense) primarily related to a decrease in labor and benefits expense and translation gains. An additional favorable impact came from lower non-volume related manufacturing and distribution costs of $4.9 million primarily within repairs and maintenance, labor and benefits and direct materials (primarily packaging). Partially offsetting these are a $5.9 million reduction to Segment EBIT attributable to decreased production activity net of volume-related production costs due to a significant furnace rebuild.

Segment EBIT EMEA

Segment EBIT decreased to a loss of $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2013, compared to a loss of $0.6 million in the first quarter of 2012. Segment EBIT as a percentage of net sales for EMEA decreased to (4.3) percent in the first quarter of 2013, compared to (1.9) percent in the prior-year period. The primary driver of the $0.9 million decrease in Segment EBIT was the impact of our Libbey 2015 Strategy to improve cash generation in Europe.

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation & Amortization (EBITDA)

EBITDA decreased by $3.0 million in the first quarter 2013, to $21.9 million, compared to $24.9 million in the year-ago quarter. As a percentage of net sales, EBITDA decreased to 11.9 percent in the first quarter of 2013, from 13.2 percent in the year-ago quarter. The key contributors to the decrease in EBITDA were those factors discussed above under Earnings Before Interest and Income Taxes (EBIT).

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA increased by $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2013, to $26.2 million, compared to $24.9 million in the first quarter of 2012. As a percentage of net sales, Adjusted EBITDA was 14.3 percent for the first quarter of 2013, compared to 13.2 percent in the year-ago quarter. The key contributors to the increase in Adjusted EBITDA were those factors discussed above under Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation & Amortization (EBITDA) and the elimination of the special item noted below, in the reconciliation of net income to EBIT, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, with respect to our decision to discontinue production of certain glassware in North America and reduce manufacturing capacity at our Shreveport Louisiana manufacturing facility.

Relates to discontinuing production of certain glassware in North America and reducing manufacturing capacity at our Shreveport, Louisiana, manufacturing facility.

We sometimes refer to data derived from condensed consolidated financial information but not required by GAAP to be presented in financial statements. Certain of these data are considered “non-GAAP financial measures” under Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Regulation G. We believe that certain non-GAAP data provide investors with a more complete understanding of underlying results in our core business and trends. In addition, we use non-GAAP data internally to assess performance. Although we believe that the non-GAAP financial measures presented enhance investors’ understanding of our business and performance, these non-GAAP measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP.
We define EBIT as net income before interest expense and income taxes. The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure is net income.

We believe that EBIT is an important supplemental measure for investors in evaluating operating performance in that it provides insight into company profitability. Libbey’s senior management uses this measure internally to measure profitability. EBIT also allows for a measure of comparability to other companies with different capital and legal structures, which accordingly may be subject to different interest rates and effective tax rates.
The non-GAAP measure of EBIT does have certain limitations. It does not include interest expense, which is a necessary and ongoing part of our cost structure resulting from debt incurred to expand operations. Because this is a material and recurring item, any measure that excludes it has a material limitation. EBIT may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
We define EBITDA as net income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure is net income.
We believe that EBITDA is an important supplemental measure for investors in evaluating operating performance in that it provides insight into company profitability and cash flow. Libbey’s senior management uses this measure internally to measure profitability. EBITDA also allows for a measure of comparability to other companies with different capital and legal structures, which accordingly may be subject to different interest rates and effective tax rates, and to companies that may incur different depreciation and amortization expenses or impairment charges.
The non-GAAP measure of EBITDA does have certain limitations. It does not include interest expense, which is a necessary and ongoing part of our cost structure resulting from debt incurred to expand operations. EBITDA also excludes depreciation and amortization expenses. Because these are material and recurring items, any measure that excludes them has a material limitation. EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
We present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it assists investors and analysts in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. In addition, we use Adjusted EBITDA internally to measure profitability and to set performance targets for managers.
Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool. Some of these limitations are:

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debts;
Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the impact of certain cash charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations; and
Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Net Income and Diluted Net Income Per Share

We recorded net income of $2.0 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2013, compared to net income of $0.6 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter. Net income as a percentage of net sales was 1.1 percent in the first quarter of 2013, compared to 0.3 percent in the year-ago quarter. The increase in net income and diluted net income per share is due to a $2.0 million reduction in interest expense and $2.6 million decrease in the provision for income taxes, partially offset by factors discussed in Earnings Before Interest and Income Taxes (EBIT) above. The reduction in interest expense is primarily the result of lower interest rates resulting from our May 2012 refinancing. The effective tax rate was 25.0 percent for the first quarter of 2013, compared to 83.7 percent in year-ago quarter. The effective tax rate was influenced by jurisdictions with recorded valuation allowances, changes in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates and changes in accruals related to uncertain tax positions.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

Historically, cash flows generated from operations, cash on hand and our borrowing capacity under our ABL Facility have enabled us to meet our cash requirements, including capital expenditures and working capital requirements. At March 31, 2013,

34

Table of Contents

we had no borrowings outstanding under our ABL Facility, although we had $8.5 million of letters of credit issued under that facility. As a result, we had $73.3 million of unused availability remaining under the ABL Facility at March 31, 2013. In addition, we had $45.9 million of cash on hand at March 31, 2013.

Based on our operating plans and current forecast expectations, we anticipate that our level of cash on hand, cash flows from operations and our borrowing capacity under our ABL Facility will provide sufficient cash availability to meet our ongoing liquidity needs.

As previously announced on March 22, 2013, Libbey Glass Inc. redeemed, on May 7, 2013, an aggregate principal amount of $45.0 million of our outstanding Senior Secured Notes due 2020. We funded this redemption using cash on hand and borrowings under our ABL Facility.

Days working capital (DWC) measures the number of days it takes to turn our working capital into cash.
DSO, DIO, DPO and DWC are calculated using the last twelve months' net sales as the denominator and are based on a 365-day year.
We believe that working capital is important supplemental information for investors in evaluating liquidity in that it provides insight into the availability of net current resources to fund our ongoing operations. Working capital is a measure used by management in internal evaluations of cash availability and operational performance.
Working capital is used in conjunction with and in addition to results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Working capital is neither intended to represent nor be an alternative to any measure of liquidity and operational performance recorded under U.S. GAAP. Working capital may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Working capital (as defined above) was $196.4 million at March 31, 2013, an increase of $23.7 million from December 31, 2012. Our working capital normally increases during the first quarter of the year due to the seasonality of our business. In particular, inventory normally increases to prepare for seasonally higher orders that typically exceed production levels in the later part of the year. Our increase is primarily due to additional inventories resulting from seasonality and building inventory in anticipation of upcoming furnace rebuilds. The impact of currency increased total working capital by $1.4 million at March 31, 2013, primarily driven by the Mexican peso, with a partial offset by the euro. As a result of the factors above, working

capital as a percentage of last twelve-month net sales increased to 23.9 percent at March 31, 2013 from 20.9 percent at December 31, 2012, but was essentially flat compared to the period ended March 31, 2012.

The total borrowingsnet includes long-term debt due within one year and long-term debt as stated in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We had total borrowings of $465.9 million and $466.1 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Of our total borrowings, $58.8 million, or approximately 12.6 percent, was subject to variable interest rates at March 31, 2013. A change of one percentage point in such rates would result in a change in interest expense of approximately $0.6 million on an annual basis.

Included in interest expense is the amortization of discounts and financing fees. These items amounted to $0.5 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

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

Discussion of First Quarter 2013 vs. First Quarter 2012 Cash Flow

Our net cash used in operating activities was $(12.7) million and $(19.1) million in the first quarter of 2013 and 2012, respectively, an improvement of $6.4 million. The major factors impacting cash flow from operations were a $17.4 million reduction in interest payments on our Senior Secured Notes and a $7.6 million reduction in pension and postretirement welfare payments primarily due to the funding of our U.S. pension plans in 2012. Partially offsetting these are an increase of $8.6 million in working capital (discussed above), primarily inventory; an increase of $6.1 million in labor related payments, primarily related to incentive compensation; and an increase in income tax payments and prepaid expenses of $1.0 million and $1.6 million, respectively. The decrease in interest payments was the result of the change in the timing of interest payments on the Senior Secured Notes compared to interest payments under the Senior Secured Notes that they replaced. Under the Senior Secured Notes, interest is payable in May and November whereas the interest was payable on the prior Senior Secured Notes in February and August.

Our net cash used in investing activities was $(8.9) million and $(6.3) million in the first quarter of 2013 and 2012, respectively, primarily representing capital expenditures.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2013, compared to net cash used of $(0.4) million in the year-ago quarter. We received $0.5 million in the first quarter 2013 from the exercise of stock options. In the first quarter of 2012, we made other debt repayments of $0.4 million.

Our Free Cash Flow was $(21.6) million during the first quarter of 2013, compared to $(25.4) million in the year-ago quarter, an improvement of $3.8 million. The primary contributors to this change were the $6.4 million favorable cash flow impact from operating activities in the current period, as discussed above, offset by an additional $2.4 million in capital expenditures.

Derivatives

We had an Interest Rate Agreement (Old Rate Agreement) in place through April 18, 2012 with respect to $80.0 million of our former Senior Secured Notes as a means to manage our fixed to variable interest rate ratio. On April 18, 2012, we called the Old Rate Agreement at fair value and received proceeds of $3.6 million.

On June 18, 2012, we entered into an Interest Rate Agreement (New Rate Agreement) with a notional amount of $45.0 million that is to mature in 2020. The New Rate Agreement was executed in order to convert a portion of the Senior Secured Notes fixed rate debt into floating rate debt and maintain a capital structure containing fixed and floating rate debt. Prior to May 15, 2015, but not more than once in any twelve-month period, the counterparty may call up to 10 percent of the New Rate Agreement at a call price of 103 percent. The New Rate Agreement is callable at the counterparty’s option, in whole or in part, at any time on or after May 15, 2015 at set call premiums. The variable interest rate for our borrowings related to the New Rate Agreement at March 31, 2013, excluding applicable fees, is 5.6 percent. This New Rate Agreement expires on May 15, 2020. Total remaining Senior Secured Notes not covered by the New Rate Agreement have a fixed interest rate of 6.875 percent per year through May 15, 2020. If the counterparty to this New Rate Agreement were to fail to perform, this New Rate Agreement would no longer afford us a variable rate. However, we do not anticipate non-performance by the counterparty. The interest rate swap counterparty was rated A+, as of March 31, 2013, by Standard and Poor’s.

The fair market value for the New Rate Agreement at March 31, 2013, was a $0.1 million liability. The fair market value of the New Rate Agreement is based on the market standard methodology of netting the discounted expected future fixed cash receipts and the discounted future variable cash payments. The variable cash payments are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observed market interest rate forward curves.

We also use commodity futures contracts related to forecasted future North American natural gas requirements. The objective of these futures contracts is to reduce the effects of fluctuations and price movements in the underlying commodity. We consider our forecasted natural gas requirements in determining the quantity of natural gas to hedge. We combine the forecasts with historical observations to establish the percentage of forecast eligible to be hedged, typically ranging from 40 percent to 70 percent of our anticipated requirements up to eighteen months in the future. The fair values of these instruments are determined from market quotes. At March 31, 2013, we had commodity futures contracts for 1,720,000 million British Thermal Units (BTUs) of natural gas with a fair market value of a $0.8 million asset. We have hedged a portion of our forecasted transactions through December 2013. At December 31, 2012, we had commodity futures contracts for 2,400,000 million BTUs of natural gas with a fair market value of a $(0.4) million liability. The counterparties for these derivatives were rated BBB+ or better as of March 31, 2013, by Standard & Poor’s.

Item 3.
Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Currency

We are exposed to market risks due to changes in currency values, although the majority of our revenues and expenses are denominated in the U.S. dollar. The currency market risks include devaluations and other major currency fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar, Canadian dollar, euro, RMB or Mexican peso that could reduce the cost competitiveness of our products compared to foreign competition.

Interest Rates

We have an Interest Rate Agreement (New Rate Agreement) with respect to $45.0 million of debt in order to convert a portion of the Senior Secured Notes fixed rate debt into floating rate debt and maintain a capital structure containing fixed and floating rate debt. The interest rate for our borrowings related to the New Rate Agreement at March 31, 2013 is 5.6 percent per year. The New Rate Agreement expires on May 15, 2020. Total remaining Senior Secured Notes not covered by the New Rate Agreement have a fixed interest rate of 6.875 percent. If the counterparty to the New Rate Agreement were to fail to perform, the New Rate Agreement would no longer provide the desired results. However, we do not anticipate nonperformance by the counterparty. The counterparty was rated A+ as of March 31, 2013 by Standard and Poor’s.

Natural Gas

We are exposed to market risks associated with changes in the price of natural gas. We use commodity futures contracts related to forecasted future natural gas requirements of our manufacturing operations in North America. The objective of these futures contracts is to limit the fluctuations in prices paid and potential volatility in earnings or cash flows from price movements in the underlying natural gas commodity. We consider the forecasted natural gas requirements of our manufacturing operations in determining the quantity of natural gas to hedge. We combine the forecasts with historical observations to establish the percentage of forecast eligible to be hedged, typically ranging from 40 percent to 70 percent of our anticipated requirements up to six quarters in the future. For our natural gas requirements that are not hedged, we are subject to changes in the price of natural gas, which affect our earnings. If the counterparties to these futures contracts were to fail to perform, we would no longer be protected from natural gas fluctuations by the futures contracts. However, we do not anticipate nonperformance by these counterparties. All counterparties were rated BBB+ or better by Standard and Poor’s as of March 31, 2013.

Retirement Plans

We are exposed to market risks associated with changes in the various capital markets. Changes in long-term interest rates affect the discount rate that is used to measure our benefit obligations and related expense. Changes in the equity and debt securities markets affect our pension plans' asset performance and related pension expense. Sensitivity to these key market risk factors is as follows:
A change of 1.0 percent in the discount rate would change our total annual pension and nonpension postretirement expense by approximately $4.5 million.
A change of 1.0 percent in the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets would change annual pension expense by approximately $3.4 million.

Item 4.
Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) reports are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well-designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the quarter covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
