3. Cautionary Statement
Material presented on today’s call includes forward-looking statements about Libbey Inc. These statements are
subject to risks and uncertainties, including market conditions, competitive pressures, the value of the U.S. dollar
and potential significant cost increases. Please refer to the Company’s Form 10-K for fiscal year-end December 31,
2017, filed on March 1, 2018, for further information.
This presentation includes financial information of which the Company’s independent auditors have not completed
their review. Although the Company believes that the assumptions upon which the financial information and its
forward looking statements are based are reasonable, it can give no assurances that these assumptions will prove
to be accurate.
This presentation and today’s prepared remarks contain non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that the
Adjusted Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization, or Adjusted EBITDA; Adjusted EBITDA
margin; Trade Working Capital; Debt, net of cash to Adjusted EBITDA; Adjusted Selling, General and Administrative
expense; and references to sales in constant currency are meaningful measures for investors to compare our results
from period to period.
Reconciliations of the non-GAAP to GAAP measures may be found within the earnings press release and the
supplemental financials.

14. Appendix of Non-GAAP Definitions
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
• U.S. GAAP net income (loss) plus interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and
special items, when applicable, that Libbey believes are not reflective of our core operating performance
Trade Working Capital
• Net accounts receivable plus net inventories less accounts payable.
Debt, Net of Cash to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio
• Gross debt before unamortized discount and finance fees, less cash and cash equivalents, divided by last twelve
months Adjusted EBITDA (defined above).
Constant Currency
• Constant currency references regarding net sales reflect a simple mathematical translation of local currency results
using the comparable prior period’s currency conversion rate.
