Albany International Corp. (NYSE:AIN) reported Q2 2014 income
attributable to the Company of $11.2 million. Earnings were reduced by
restructuring charges of $2.0 million and income tax adjustments of $0.8
million, and were increased by an insurance-recovery gain of $1.0
million and foreign currency revaluation gains of $1.0 million. In
addition, income was reduced by $1.6 million to correct previously
reported inventory values (see discussion below).
Q2 2013 income attributable to the Company was a loss of $7.4 million.
Earnings were reduced by restructuring charges of $24.3 million, foreign
currency revaluation losses of $1.4 million, income tax adjustments of
$1.4 million, and a loss from discontinued operations of $0.4 million.

The year-over-year decline in second-quarter MC sales was attributable
to North America, where sales were particularly strong in Q2 2013.
Compared to Q1 and the second half of 2013, North American sales
improved. Sales in the rest of the world remained stable and were at
levels comparable to Q2 2013. AEC sales rebounded from the transitional
effects of the change in LEAP invoicing terms discussed in Q1.
During the second quarter, the Company determined that the value of MC
inventories reported in prior periods was overstated. The overstatement
originated when the Company transitioned to a new ERP system in the
Americas in 2008 and Europe in 2011. Included in cost of goods sold for
the second quarter is a charge of $1.6 million to correct the
overstatement by reducing the carrying value of inventory associated
with intercompany transfers.
Q2 2014 gross profit was $75.3 million, or 38.9 percent of net sales,
compared to $77.4 million, or 39.1 percent of net sales, in the same
period of 2013. MC gross profit margin declined from 43.8 percent in
2013 to 42.4 percent in 2014 principally due to the $1.6 million charge
for the inventory valuation correction. AEC’s gross profit margin
improved from 3.3 percent in Q2 2013 to 11.4 percent in Q2 2014 due to
improvements in profitability of programs at the Company’s Boerne,
Texas, facility.
Selling, technical, general, and research (STG&R) expenses were $54.4
million, or 28.1 percent of net sales, in the second quarter of 2014,
including losses of $0.4 million related to the revaluation of
nonfunctional-currency assets and liabilities. In Q2 2013, STG&R
expenses were $56.6 million, or 28.6 percent of net sales, including
income of $0.5 million related to the revaluation of
nonfunctional-currency assets and liabilities. Q2 2013 STG&R expenses
also included $1.0 million of corporate charges for increased legal
expenses and accrual adjustments for the Company’s self-insured medical
program.

Segment operating income was affected by restructuring and currency
revaluation as shown in Table 4 below. Restructuring expense was
principally related to the ongoing costs associated with the
restructuring in France.

The Company’s income tax rate, excluding tax adjustments, was 36.5
percent for Q2 2014, compared to 39.0 percent for the same period of
2013. Discrete tax charges and changes in the estimated income tax rate
increased income tax expense by $0.8 million in 2014 and $1.4 million in
2013.

Capital spending for equipment and software was $12.8 million for Q2
2014, bringing the year-to-date total to $27.7 million. Depreciation and
amortization was $16.1 million for Q2 2014 and $32.0 million for the
first six months of 2014.
In July, Safran reported that its Snecma subsidiary had been selected by
GE to produce parts for the GE9X engine, including the 3-D woven forward
fan case. Albany Safran Composites, LLC (“ASC”), as the exclusive
supplier to Safran companies of 3-D woven composite aircraft engine
parts, has commenced development efforts on the 9X case with Snecma, and
is in the process of finalizing the commercial and other terms under
which ASC will supply these parts.
CFO Comments
CFO and Treasurer John Cozzolino commented, “As expected, net debt
improved during the second quarter. Net debt decreased about $16 million
compared to the end of Q1 2014, and was $78 million at the end of Q2
2014 (see Table 15). The Company’s leverage ratio this quarter, as
defined in our primary debt agreements, was 1.56. The improvement in net
debt, as compared to the increase we saw in the first quarter, was due
to a continuation of strong operating income combined with improved
working capital performance and lower cash outflows for capital
expenditures and taxes. With capital expenditures of approximately $28
million in the first half of the year, we now expect full-year spending
to total $60 to $70 million. Cash paid for income taxes was about $2
million during the quarter and $9 million through the end of June. We
continue to expect cash taxes of approximately $16 million for the full
year.”
CEO Comments
President and Chief Executive Officer Joe Morone said, “Q2 2014 was a
strong quarter for Albany International, with both businesses performing
well and as expected. Despite the negative effect of the $1.6 million
inventory adjustment, Adjusted EBITDA improved to $37.3 million for the
quarter, compared to $36.1 million in Q2 2013. And for the first half of
the year, Adjusted EBITDA was $75.0 million compared to $69.9 million in
2013.
“In MC, while sales were down 3 percent compared to a very strong Q2
last year; on a sequential basis sales in each major geographic segment
were either stable or improved. Performance with strategic customers and
in key product segments was again exceptional, and excluding that
adjustment to inventory, gross margins were well within the normal range.
“AEC also performed well on all fronts – the ramp-up of the LEAP
program, turnaround in our Boerne, Texas, operation, and continued
progress in research and technology.
“Two noteworthy developments for AEC occurred just after the close of
the quarter. AEC, through Albany Safran Composites, is developing the
composite fan case for the GE9X, the engine that will power Boeing’s
777x aircraft. According to GE, the 9X will be the largest turbofan
engine ever developed; AEC’s participation on a component as critical as
the fan case thus represents a significant and highly visible market
validation of the advantages of its composite technology. We have not
yet finalized contract details, but we currently anticipate an annual
revenue opportunity from this program of approximately $20-$25 million,
once full-rate production levels are attained. Entry into service is
currently projected for the end of the decade, with full-rate production
early next decade. Because of the scale of the fan case, this will be a
capital intensive program, but we do not at this time expect average
annual total Company capital expenditures to exceed our previous
estimates of $70 million per year for the rest of the decade.
“The second development took place at the recently concluded Farnborough
Airshow. CFM reported that it had won over 850 new orders for the LEAP
engine, bringing total orders to over 7,500 engines. CFM also reported
that it has increased its estimate for the size of the single-aisle
engine market in which the LEAP engine competes from 40,000 to 45,000
engines. CFM also disclosed during the show that it is working on
enhancements to LEAP which have the potential to reduce ‘hundreds of
pounds’ of engine weight. As we have discussed before AEC is developing
with Safran additional composite parts that are candidates for inclusion
in future upgrades to the LEAP engine.
“Turning to the outlook, because of seasonal effects, the second half of
the year in MC and thus the overall Company is typically weaker than the
first half. But on a year-over-year basis, barring any downside
macro-economic developments, we currently expect second-half 2014 MC
Adjusted EBITDA to be stronger than second-half 2013. We also expect AEC
revenue to be stronger in the second half than it was in both the first
half of 2014 and the second half of 2013. And for the overall Company,
while second-half Adjusted EBITDA will likely be weaker than first-half,
we currently expect it to be stronger than it was for the comparable
period last year.
“In sum this was a good quarter, with both businesses performing well
and as expected, significant developments in AEC, and an outlook for
continued favorable year-over-year performance in the second half of the
year.”
The Company plans a webcast to discuss second-quarter 2014 financial
results on Tuesday, August 5, 2014, at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time. For

About Albany International Corp.
Albany International is a global advanced textiles and materials
processing company, with two core businesses. Machine Clothing is the
world’s leading producer of custom-designed fabrics and belts essential
to production in the paper, nonwovens, and other process industries.
Albany Engineered Composites is a rapidly growing supplier of highly
engineered composite parts for the aerospace industry. Albany
International is headquartered in Rochester, New Hampshire, operates 20
plants in 11 countries, employs 4,100 people worldwide, and is listed on
the New York Stock Exchange (Symbol AIN). Additional information about
the Company and its products and services can be found at www.albint.com.
This release contains certain items, such as earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), Adjusted
EBITDA, sales excluding currency effects, income tax rate exclusive of
income tax adjustments, net debt, net income attributable to the
Company, excluding adjustments (on an absolute and per-share basis), and
certain income and expense items on a per-share basis that could be
considered non-GAAP financial measures. Such items are provided because
management believes that, when presented together with the GAAP items to
which they relate, they provide additional useful information to
investors regarding the Company’s operational performance. Presenting
increases or decreases in sales, after currency effects are excluded,
can give management and investors insight into underlying sales trends.
An understanding of the impact in a particular quarter of specific
restructuring costs, or other gains and losses, on operating income or
EBITDA can give management and investors additional insight into
quarterly performance, especially when compared to quarters in which
such items had a greater or lesser effect, or no effect. All non-GAAP
financial measures in this release relate to the Company’s continuing
operations.
The effect of changes in currency translation rates is calculated by
converting amounts reported in local currencies into U.S. dollars at the
exchange rate of a prior period. That amount is then compared to the
U.S. dollar amount reported in the current period. The Company
calculates Income tax adjustments by adding discrete tax items to the
effect of a change in tax rate for the reporting period. The Company
calculates its income tax rate, exclusive of income tax adjustments, by
removing income tax adjustments from total Income tax expense, then
dividing that result by Income before income taxes. The Company
calculates EBITDA by removing the following from Net income: Interest
expense net, Income tax expense, Depreciation and amortization, and
Income or loss from Discontinued Operations. Adjusted EBITDA is
calculated by adding to EBITDA, costs associated with restructuring and
pension settlement charges, adding or subtracting revaluation losses or
gains, subtracting building sale and insurance-recovery gains, and
subtracting Income attributable to the noncontrolling interest in ASC.
The Company believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful
information to investors because they provide an indication of the
strength and performance of the Company's ongoing business operations,
including its ability to fund discretionary spending such as capital
expenditures and strategic investments, as well as its ability to incur
and service debt. While depreciation and amortization are operating
costs under GAAP, they are non-cash expenses equal to current period
allocation of costs associated with capital and other long-lived
investments made in prior periods. While restructuring expenses, foreign
currency revaluation losses or gains, pension settlement charges, and
building sale and insurance-recovery gains have an impact on the
Company's net income, removing them from EBITDA can provide, in the
opinion of the Company, a better measure of operating performance.
EBITDA is also a calculation commonly used by investors and analysts to
evaluate and compare the periodic and future operating performance and
value of companies. EBITDA, as defined by the Company, may not be
similar to EBITDA measures of other companies. Such EBITDA measures may
not be considered measurements under GAAP, and should be considered in
addition to, but not as substitutes for, the information contained in
the Company’s statements of income.
The Company discloses certain income and expense items on a per-share
basis. The Company believes that such disclosures provide important
insight into underlying quarterly earnings and are financial performance
metrics commonly used by investors. The Company calculates the per-share
amount for items included in continuing operations by using the
effective tax rate utilized in that reporting period and the weighted
average number of shares outstanding for each period.

This press release may contain statements, estimates, or projections
that constitute “forward-looking statements” as defined under U.S.
federal securities laws. Generally, the words “believe,” “expect,”
“intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “project,” “will,” “should” and
similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which generally
are not historical in nature. Forward-looking statements are subject to
certain risks and uncertainties (including, without limitation, those
set forth in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K or
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q) that could cause actual results to differ
materially from the Company’s historical experience and our present
expectations or projections.
Forward-looking statements in this release or in the webcast include,
without limitation, statements about economic and paper industry trends
and conditions during 2014 and in future years; sales, EBITDA, Adjusted
EBITDA and operating income expectations in 2014 and in future periods
in each of the Company’s businesses and for the Company as a whole; the
timing and impact of production and development programs in the
Company’s AEC business segment and AEC sales growth potential; the
amount and timing of capital expenditures, future tax rates and cash
paid for taxes, depreciation and amortization; future debt and net debt
levels and debt covenant ratios; and future revaluation gains and
losses. Furthermore, a change in any one or more of the foregoing
factors could have a material effect on the Company’s financial results
in any period. Such statements are based on current expectations, and
the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any
forward-looking statements.
Statements expressing management’s assessments of the growth
potential of its businesses, or referring to earlier assessments of such
potential, are not intended as forecasts of actual future growth, and
should not be relied on as such. While management believes such
assessments to have a reasonable basis, such assessments are, by their
nature, inherently uncertain. This release and earlier releases set
forth a number of assumptions regarding these assessments, including
historical results, independent forecasts regarding the markets in which
these businesses operate, and the timing and magnitude of orders for our
customers’ products. Historical growth rates are no guarantee of future
growth, and such independent forecasts and assumptions could prove
materially incorrect, in some cases.
