Libbey Announces 2nd Quarter Results

07/26/2012

According to DailyMarkets.com, Libbey reported higher earnings on a slight dip in sales during the 2nd quarter. Led by glassware sales strength in the China and U.S. markets, Libbey also grew sales to World Tableware customers by 5.1 percent during the quarter, but these were partially offset by a 4.9 percent decrease in sales to Syracuse China customers.

“We are encouraged by these results, driven by our efforts to increase productivity and control costs as well as the solid sales growth we achieved in select markets,” said Stephanie A. Streeter, chief executive officer of Libbey Inc. “Our sales were particularly strong in glass operations in the U.S. and Canada, and in China. On the other hand, sales were disappointing in Mexico and Europe. Despite this reasonably strong quarter, we have a lot of work to do to sustain performance and secure our future,” said Streeter. “The strategic plan we announced earlier this month will strengthen and build upon the efforts to improve our cost structure, leverage our advantaged businesses and strengthen our balance sheet.”

We had reason to be reviewing a project involving World Tableware's dinnerware recently and were quite impressed with the overall improved quality of the World dinnerplates. For years, their dinnerware has been a price-driven product, but after seeing thier improved quality on this recent project, I would say World Tableware's dinnerware may be one of the best value products out there available to operators. In addition, parent company Libbey has introduced new World Tableware dinnerware products such as BASICS ORBIS (above).
