ITEM 1.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements presented herein are unaudited
but, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary to present
fairly such information for the periods and at the dates indicated. Since the
following condensed unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with Article 10 of Regulation S-X, they do not contain all
information and footnotes normally contained in annual consolidated financial
statements; accordingly, they should be read in conjunction with the
Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto appearing in the

The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results for

1.   LONG-TERM DEBT

The Company and its Canadian subsidiary have an unsecured agreement ("Bank
Credit Agreement" or "Agreement") with a group of banks which provides for a
Revolving Credit and Swing Line Facility ("Facility") permitting borrowings up
to an aggregate total of $380 million, maturing May 1, 2002. Swing Line
borrowings are limited to $25 million with interest calculated at the prime rate
minus the Commitment Fee Percentage. Revolving Credit borrowings bear interest
at the Company's option at either the prime rate minus the Commitment Fee
Percentage, or a Eurodollar rate plus the Applicable Eurodollar Margin. The
Commitment Fee Percentage and Applicable Eurodollar Margin will vary depending
on the Company's performance against certain financial ratios. The Commitment
Fee Percentage and the Applicable Eurodollar Margin were 0.15% and 0.275%,
respectively, at September 30, 1997. 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 $190 million. The
Revolving Credit and Swing Line Facility also provides for the issuance of $35
million of letters of credit, with such usage applied against the $380 million
limit. At September 30, 1997 the Company had $5.1 million in letters of credit
outstanding under the Facility.

The Company has entered into interest rate protection agreements ("Rate
Agreements") with respect to $175 million of debt under its Bank Credit
Agreement as a means to manage its exposure to fluctuating interest rates. The
Rate Agreements effectively convert this portion of the Company's Bank Credit
Agreement borrowings from variable rate debt to a fixed rate basis, thus
reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future income. The average
interest rate for the Company's borrowings related to the Rate Agreements at
September 30, 1997 was 5.83% for an average remaining period of 2.1 years. The
remaining debt not covered by the Rate Agreements has fluctuating interest rates
with a weighted average rate of 6.0% at September 30, 1997.

The interest rate differential to be received or paid under the Rate Agreements
is being recognized over the life of the Rate Agreements as an adjustment to
interest expense. Should 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.


                                       8
<PAGE>   9

The Company must pay a commitment fee ("Commitment Fee Percentage") on the total
credit provided under the Bank Credit Agreement. No compensating balances are
required by the Agreement. The Agreement requires 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.


2. ACQUISITION

On August 29, 1997, the Company completed a series of transactions with Vitro
S.A. (collectively the "Vitro Transactions") for a cash purchase price of
approximately $100 million and the assumption of certain liabilities, financed
through borrowings under the Bank Credit Agreement. The primary components of
the Vitro Transactions included the Company becoming: (i) a 49% equity owner in
Vitrocrisa; (ii) the exclusive distributor of Vitrocrisa's glass tableware
products in the U.S. and Canada and Vitrocrisa becoming the exclusive
distributor of Libbey glass tableware products in Latin America; (iii) the owner
of substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of the business
formerly known as WorldCrisa, renamed World Tableware; and (iv) the owner of a
49% interest in the business of Crisa Industrial, L.L.C., which distributes
industrial glassware in the U.S. and Canada for Vitrocrisa. As a result of the
Vitro Transactions, the Company consolidates the financial results of World
Tableware and includes in its financial results sales of Vitrocrisa's glass
tableware in the U.S. and Canada pursuant to the distribution agreement
described above.

The investment and acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting for financial reporting purposes and an initial allocation of the
purchase price to the underlying net assets acquired has been made.

The following unaudited pro forma results of operations assume the acquisition
occurred as of January 1, 1996 (in thousands except per share amounts):

3.   CASH FLOW INFORMATION

Interest paid in cash aggregated $9,915 and $11,077 for the first nine months of
1997 and 1996, respectively. Income taxes paid in cash aggregated $11,714 and
$12,099 for the first nine months of 1997 and 1996, respectively.


4.   NET INCOME PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK

Net income per share of common stock is computed using the weighted average
number of shares of common stock outstanding, including common share
equivalents. Weighted average shares were 15,665,529 and 15,569,132 for the
three and nine month periods ending September 30, 1997, respectively; and
15,439,632 and 15,381,872 for the three and nine month periods ending September
30, 1996.

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 "Earnings per Share" (FAS 128) which is
required to be adopted on December 31, 1997. At that time, the Company will be
required to change the method currently used to compute EPS and restate all
prior periods. The impact of adopting FAS 128 is not expected to be material.


5.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On November 12, 1997 the Company closed on a public offering of 2.3 million
shares of common stock, including all 300,000 shares of common stock sold
pursuant to the options granted to the underwriters to cover over allotment, at
a price to the public of $37.875 per share, pursuant to the Company's $100
million shelf registration statement of June 19, 1997.


                                       10

The Company used the net proceeds of approximately $83 million from the common
stock offering to repay certain indebtedness outstanding under its Bank Credit
Agreement.

</TABLE>

Net sales for the third quarter of 1997 of $104.8 million increased 10.5% from
net sales of $94.9 million reported in the comparable period in 1996. A primary
factor for the increase was solid growth in glassware sales led by increases in
retail, premium and export. Foodservice sales improved with modest growth
compared with the year-ago period. The improvement also reflects the effects of
the August 29, 1997 acquisition of World Tableware and the distribution
agreement with Vitrocrisa S.A. de C.V. Export sales were up 16.9%, increasing to
$7.0 million from $6.0 million in the year-ago period.

Gross profit increased 15.3% to $32.9 million in the third quarter of 1997 from
$28.5 million in the third quarter of 1996, and increased as a percentage of
sales to 31.4% from 30.0%. Profit margins improved as a result of greater sales
of higher-margin products and were only partially diminished by higher
distribution costs.

Income from operations increased 12.2% to $21.8 million from $19.4 million in
the year-ago period. Operating income as a percentage of sales increased to
20.8% from 20.4% in the comparable year-ago period, 

                                       11

as a result higher gross profit margin offset by increases in selling expenses.
Net income increased by $1.6 million due to items discussed above, plus equity
earnings associated with the Company's 49 % joint venture investment in Mexico.
The investment occurred on August 29, 1997. Partially offsetting this increase
was an increase in the Company's effective tax rate from 39.0% to 39.2% and
increased interest expense resulting from higher debt levels as a result of the
acquisition.

</TABLE>

Net sales for the first nine months of 1997 of $287.3 million increased 1.6%
from net sales of $282.7 million reported in the comparable period in 1996. A
decrease in sales to the Company's industrial and retail markets in the U.S.,
resulting to eliminate certain sales which typically had experienced low or
negative operating profit margins was more than offset by higher premium and
ceramic dinnerware sales. The improvement also reflects the effects of the
August 29, 1997 acquisition of World Tableware and the distribution agreement
with Vitrocrisa S.A. de C.V. Export sales were up 1.6%, increasing to $20.6
million from $20.3 million in the year-ago period.

Gross profit increased 10.4% to $86.6 million in the first nine months of 1997
from $78.5 million in the first nine months of 1996, and increased as a
percentage of sales to 30.2% from 27.8%. Profit margins improved as a result of
an improved mix of sales of more profitable products related to the termination
of certain sales with low profit 


                                       12

margins. In addition, lower manufacturing costs offset higher distribution
expenses.

Income from operations increased 11.0% to $52.7 million from $47.5 million in
the year-ago period. Operating income as a percentage of sales increased to
18.3% from 16.8% in the comparable year-ago period. A higher gross profit
percentage more than offset higher sales support costs.

Net income increased by $3.7 million due to items discussed above, plus a
reduction in the Company's effective tax rate from 39.3% to 39.1%, decreased
interest expense due to reduced debt and lower borrowing costs on average plus
equity earnings associated with the Company's 49% joint venture investment in
Mexico. The investment occurred on August 29, 1997.


CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

The Company had total debt of $320.0 million at September 30, 1997, compared to
$207.4 million at December 31, 1997. The increase in debt from December 31, 1996
is due to increased working capital requirements historically experienced during
this period in addition to amounts required in connection with the Vitro
transactions. Inventories at September 30, 1997 were $42.4 million higher than
at December 31, 1996 principally due to the inventories associated with the
Vitro acquisitions in additional to the seasonal nature of the Company's
business. The Company had additional capacity at September 30, 1997 under the
Bank Credit Agreement of $65.1 million. Of Libbey's outstanding indebtedness,
$144.8 million is subject to fluctuating interest rates at September 30, 1997. A
change of one percentage point in such rates would result in a change in
interest expense of approximately $1.4 million on an annual basis.

On August 29, 1997, the Company completed a series of transactions with Vitro
S.A. (collectively the "Vitro Transactions") for a cash purchase price of
approximately $100 million and the assumption of certain liabilities, financed
through borrowings under the Bank Credit Agreement. The primary components of
the Vitro Transactions included the Company becoming: (i) a 49% equity owner in
Vitrocrisa; (ii) the exclusive distributor of Vitrocrisa's glass tableware
products in the U.S. and Canada and Vitrocrisa becoming the exclusive
distributor of Libbey glass tableware products in Latin America; (iii) the owner
of substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of the business
formerly known as WorldCrisa, renamed World Tableware; and (iv) the owner of a
49% interest in the business of Crisa Industrial, L.L.C., which distributes
industrial glassware in the U.S. and Canada for Vitrocrisa. As a result of the
Vitro Transactions, the Company 


                                       13
<PAGE>   14

consolidates the financial results of World Tableware and includes in its
financial results sales of Vitrocrisa's glass tableware in the U.S. and Canada
pursuant to the distribution agreement described above.

On November 12, 1997 the Company closed on a public offering of 2.3 million
shares of common stock, including all 300,000 shares of common stock sold
pursuant to the options granted to the underwriters to cover over allotment, at
a price to the public of $37.875 per share, pursuant to the Company's $100
million shelf registration statement of June 19, 1997. The Company used the net
proceeds of approximately $83 million from the common stock offering to repay
certain indebtedness outstanding under its Bank Credit Agreement.

The Company is not aware of any trends, demands, commitments, or uncertainties
which will result or which are reasonably likely to result in a material change
in Libbey's liquidity. The Company believes that its cash from operations and
available borrowings under the Bank Credit Agreement will be sufficient to fund
its operating requirements, capital expenditures and all other obligations
(including debt service and dividends) throughout the remaining term of the Bank
Credit Agreement. In addition, the Company anticipates refinancing the Bank
Credit Agreement at or prior to the maturity date of May 1, 2002 to meet the
Company's longer term funding requirements.
