TOLEDO, Ohio, Nov. 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

Outstanding quarterly net sales growth of 8.4 percent (constant currency) in foodservice, despite continued weakness in restaurant traffic
Total Company net sales in the quarter decreased 0.7 percent (constant currency) versus prior year, but demonstrated strong Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) margins of 15.3 percent
Owing to weakness in markets outside the United States, Company now expects full-year revenue growth of approximately one percent on a constant currency basis and Adjusted EBITDA margins of approximately 14 percent

Libbey Inc. (NYSE MKT: LBY), one of the largest glass tableware manufacturers in the world, today reported results for the third quarter-ended September 30, 2015.

Third Quarter Financial Highlights

Net sales for the third quarter were $201.8 million, compared to $216.0 million for the third quarter of 2014, a decrease of 6.6 percent (or a decrease of 0.7 percent excluding currency fluctuation).
Net income for the third quarter of 2015 was $16.7 million, compared to net income of $13.8 million in the prior-year third quarter. Adjusted net income (see Table 1) for the third quarter of 2015 was $18.0 million, compared to $13.8 million recorded in the third quarter of 2014.
Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) (see Table 3) for the third quarter of 2015 were $30.9 million, compared to $31.7 million in the prior-year quarter.

"Our core foodservice channel continues to be very strong around the globe in the face of declining restaurant traffic trends. This is the sixth consecutive quarter of growth in foodservice for the Company. Unfortunately, that was offset in the third quarter by weakness in our retail and business-to-business channels," said Stephanie A. Streeter, chief executive officer of Libbey Inc. "Given the macro environment and the significant impact of currency, we delivered a solid performance and the fundamentals of our business remain strong. Even though our top-line growth was weaker than expected, we achieved 15.3 percent Adjusted EBITDA margins, in-line with our expectations and ahead of prior year, largely driven by favorable price-mix, as we continue to gain share in our most profitable and important foodservice channel. However, the global economic environment continues to be inconsistent, and as a result, we believe it's prudent to adjust our outlook for the remainder of 2015. We are now forecasting sales growth of approximately one percent, on a constant currency basis, and forecast Adjusted EBITDA margins of approximately 14 percent."

Third Quarter Segment Sales and Operational Review

Net sales in the Americas segment were $139.5 million, compared to $149.4 million in the third quarter of 2014, a decrease of 6.6 percent (or a decrease of 2.0 percent excluding currency impact). While foodservice sales remained strong, the reduction in net sales in the Americas was primarily the result of softness in the retail channel.
Net sales in the EMEA segment decreased 18.9 percent (or a decrease of 4.1 percent excluding currency impact) to $30.6 million, compared to $37.7 million in the third quarter of 2014, due to softness in the retail and business-to-business channels.
Net sales in the U.S. Sourcing segment were $23.5 million in the third quarter of 2015, compared to $20.6 million in the prior-year quarter, an increase of 14.2 percent.
Net sales in Other were $8.2 million in the third quarter of 2015, compared to $8.3 million in the comparable period last year, reflecting a decrease of 1.1 percent (or an increase of 1.4 percent excluding currency impact) in the Asia Pacific region.
The Company's effective tax rate was (15.4) percent for the quarter-ended September 30, 2015, compared to 20.4 percent for the quarter-ended September 30, 2014. The effective rate in both years was generally influenced by foreign earnings with differing statutory rates, foreign withholding tax, accruals related to uncertain tax positions, non-taxable foreign translation gains and other activity in jurisdictions with recorded valuation allowances.

Nine-Month Financial Highlights

Net sales for the first nine months of 2015 were $603.2 million, compared to $621.1 million for the first nine months of 2014, a decrease of 2.9 percent (or an increase of 2.7 percent excluding currency fluctuation). During the first nine months, foodservice net sales for the Company were up 6.0 percent versus prior year (or 8.2 percent in constant currency).
Net income for the first nine months of 2015 was $34.2 million, compared to a net loss of $14.8 million for the first nine months of 2014. The net loss for the first nine months of 2014 included a $47.2 million charge for the retirement of debt during the period. Adjusted net income (see Table 2) for the first nine months of 2015 was $38.7 million, compared to $38.9 million recorded in the first nine months of 2014.
Adjusted EBITDA (see Table 3) was $85.2 million for the first nine months of 2015, compared to $92.7 million for the similar period in 2014.
Year to date in 2015, Libbey has repurchased 412,473 shares at an average price of $37.03.

Nine-Month Segment Sales and Operational Review

Net sales in the Americas segment for the first nine months of 2015 were $417.3 million, compared to $425.7 in the first nine months in 2014, a decrease of 2.0 percent (or an increase of 1.7 percent excluding currency fluctuation). Sales performance was led by a 4.5 percent increase in sales within our foodservice channel (or 5.8 percent increase excluding currency impact). Partially offsetting this increase is a decrease in our retail channel of 6.5 percent (or 1.9 percent decrease excluding currency impact).
Net sales in the EMEA segment for the first nine months of 2015 decreased 18.1 percent (or down 1.4 percent excluding currency impact) to $91.2 million, compared to $111.4 million in the first nine months of 2014.
Net sales in the U.S. Sourcing segment for the first nine months of 2015 increased 13.0 percent to $67.5 million, compared to $59.7 million in the first nine months of 2014.
Sales in Other were $27.2 million in the first nine months of 2015, compared to $24.2 million in the prior-year period. This increase was the result of a 12.3 percent increase in sales (13.9 percent excluding currency impact) in the Asia Pacific region.
Interest expense in the first nine months of 2015 was $13.8 million, a decrease of $4.2 million compared to $18.0 million in the year-ago period, primarily driven by lower interest rates as a result of the refinancing completed during the second quarter of 2014.
Our effective tax rate was 4.1 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to (46.6) percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The effective tax rate was generally influenced by foreign earnings with differing statutory rates, foreign withholding tax, accruals related to uncertain tax positions, non-taxable foreign translation gains and other activity in jurisdictions with recorded valuation allowances.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

Libbey reported that it had available capacity of $83.7 million under its ABL credit facility as of September 30, 2015, with $7.0 million of loans currently outstanding. The Company also had cash on hand of $30.1 million as of September 30, 2015.
As of September 30, 2015, working capital, defined as inventories and accounts receivable less accounts payable, was $231.9 million, an increase of $15.1 million compared to $216.8 million at September 30, 2014 (see Table 5). The increase was primarily a result of higher inventories and lower accounts payable, partially offset by lower accounts receivable.

Sherry Buck, chief financial officer, concluded: "Despite the somewhat tepid economic environment that we saw developing throughout the quarter, we continued to generate strong free cash flow in the quarter of $9.3 million. We are on track to return more than 50 percent of our free cash flow to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases, and we have strong liquidity with $30 million in cash on hand and approximately $84 million available on our ABL. We remain committed to our balanced capital allocation program that we announced earlier this year."

In accordance with the SEC's Regulation G, tables 1 through 6 provide non-GAAP measures used in this earnings release and a reconciliation to the most closely related Generally Accepted Accounting Principle (GAAP) measure. Libbey believes that providing supplemental non-GAAP financial information is useful to investors in understanding Libbey's core business and trends. In addition, it is the basis on which Libbey's management assesses performance. Although Libbey believes that the non-GAAP financial measures presented enhance investors' understanding of Libbey's business and performance, these non-GAAP measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP.
