Third-Quarter 08 Earnings
Regulatory Statements Certain statements in this presentation may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws. These statements are subject to a variety of uncertainties, unknown risks, and other factors concerning the Company s operations and business environment. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by these forward-looking statements and that could adversely affect the Company s future financial performance include the following: demand in the industries into which Ferro sells its products may be unpredictable, cyclical, or heavily influenced by consumer spending; Ferro s ability to suessfully implement and/or administer its optimization initiatives, including its restructuring programs, and to produce the desired results; currency conversion rates and economic, social, political, and regulatory conditions in the U.S. and around the world; Ferro s ability to identify suitable acquisition candidates, complete acquisitions (including the pending acquisitions noted in the Company s second-quarter 08 earnings release), effectively integrate the businesses and achieve the expected synergies as well as the acquisitions being aretive and Ferro achieving the expected returns on invested capital; the effectiveness of the Company s efforts to improve operating margins through sales growth, price increases, productivity gains, and improved purchasing techniques; Ferro s ability to suessfully introduce new products or enter into new growth markets; the impact of interruption, damage to, failure, or compromise of the Company s information systems; restrictive covenants in the Company s credit facilities could affect its strategic initiatives and liquidity; Ferro s ability to aess capital markets, borrowings, or financial transactions; the availability of reliable sources of energy and raw materials at a reasonable cost; increasingly aggressive domestic and foreign governmental regulations on hazardous materials and regulations affecting health, safety and the environment; competitive factors, including intense price competition; Ferro s ability to protect its intellectual property, including trade secrets, or to suessfully resolve claims of infringement brought against it; sale of products and materials into highly regulated industries; the impact of operating hazards and investments made in order to meet stringent environmental, health and safety regulations; limited or no redundancy for certain of the Company s manufacturing facilities and possible interruption of operations at those facilities; management of Ferro s general and administrative expenses; Ferro s multi-jurisdictional tax structure and its ability to reduce its effective tax rate, including the impact of the Company s performance on its ability to utilize significant deferred tax assets; the effectiveness of strategies to increase Ferro s return on invested capital, and the short-term impact that acquisitions may have on return on invested capital; stringent labor and employment laws and relationships with the Company s employees; the impact of requirements to fund employee benefit costs, especially post-retirement costs; implementation of business processes and information systems, including the outsourcing of functions to third parties; risks associated with the manufacture and sale of material into industries making products for sensitive applications; exposure to lawsuits in the normal course of business; risks and uncertainties associated with intangible assets; Ferro s borrowing costs could be affected adversely by interest rate increases; liens on the Company s assets by its lenders affect its ability to dispose of property and businesses; amount and timing of any repurchase of Ferro s common stock; and other factors affecting the Company s business thatarebeyondits control, including disasters, aidents andgovernmentalactions. The risks and uncertainties identified above are not the only risks the Company faces. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company or that it currently believes to be immaterial also may adversely affect the Company. Should any known or unknown risks and uncertainties develop into actual events, these developments could have material adverse effects on our business, financial condition and results of operations. This presentation contains time-sensitive information that reflects management s best analysis only as of the date of this presentation. The Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect future events information or circumstances that arise after the date of this presentation. Additional information regarding these risks can be found in our Annual Report on Form 0-K for the year ended December 3, 07. Also, this presentation includes certain financial measurers that were not prepared in aordance with generally aepted aounting principles. Reconciliations of the historical non- GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures can be found in the Appendices included in this presentation. This presentation includes adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EPS and adjusted cash flow conversion guidance. It is not possible, without unreasonable effort, for the Company to identify the amount or significance of future charges that would be excluded from adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EPS and adjusted free cash flow from operations conversion or the potential for other transactions that may impact such guidance. Aordingly, the Company is unable to reconcile, without unreasonable effort, the Company's forecasted range of these adjusted non-gaap financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

08 Full-Year Guidance Values in Millions except for EPS EBITDA Diluted EPS Free Cash Flow from Operations Conversion 08 Guidance $70M - $75M $.55 - $.60 40% - 45% The business expects full year 08 guidance for EPS and EBITDA to be at the lower range of guidance. In addition, the business expects full year 08 guidance for Free Cash Flow Conversion to be at the upper range of guidance. Ferro is providing EBITDA, diluted EPS and Free Cash Flow from Operations conversion guidance on a continuing operations basis. While it is likely that Ferro could incur charges for items excluded from adjusted EBITDA, adjusted diluted EPS and adjusted cash flow from operations conversion from continuing operations such as mark-to-market adjustments of pension and other postretirement benefit obligations, restructuring and impairment charges, and legal and professional expenses related to certain business development activities, it is not possible, without unreasonable effort, to identify the amount or significance of these items or the potential for other transactions that may impact future GAAP net income and cash flow from operating activities. Management does not believe these items to be representative of underlying business performance. Management is unable to reconcile, without unreasonable effort, the Company's forecasted range of these adjusted non-gaap financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. 9

In 08, the adjustments to "Other expense, net" primarily relate to impacts of currency related items in Argentina, debt extinguishment charges, fees expensed associated with the Amended Credit Facility, a gain recognized on increasing our ownership interest in FMU, earn out adjustment for acquisitions and other acquisition related costs. For 07, the adjustments to "Other expense, net" primarily relate to the FX loss incurred on our Euro-denominated term loan, a loss on an equity method investment, the loss/gain on an asset sale, debt extinguishment costs, a reduction of a contingent lability in Argentina and a gain on purchase of an equity method investment.. The tax rate reflects the reported tax rate, adjusted for special items being tax effected at the respective statutory rate where the item originated. 3. Due to rounding, total earnings per share related to special items does not always add to the total Earnings Per Share. It should be noted that adjusted diluted earnings per share items is a financial measure not required by, or presented in aordance with, aounting principles generally aepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP).

We believe this data provides investors with additional information on the underlying operations and trends of the business, and enables period-to-period comparability of the financial performance of the business. Additionally, certain elements of these measures are used in the calculation of certain incentive compensation programs for management. 7
