Albany International Reports Third-Quarter 2022 Results

Albany International Corp. (NYSE:AIN) today reported operating results for its third quarter of 2022, which ended September 30, 2022.

"We are pleased to report another strong quarter,” said Albany International President and Chief Executive Officer, Bill Higgins. “Our revenue of $261 million was up year-over-year. Engineered Composites grew third quarter sales nearly 37% compared to the third quarter of 2021 driven by higher LEAP production and the CH53-K helicopter program. The Machine Clothing segment delivered another excellent performance in the quarter. On the bottom line, both segments achieved strong operating income, working hard to overcome inflation and supply chain challenges.

"Third quarter GAAP earnings per share was $0.34 inclusive of a pension settlement charge of $1.03 partially offset by currency gains. Adjusted earnings per share was $1.15 up from $0.83 reported last year," concluded Higgins.

For the third quarter ended September 30, 2022:

  • Net sales were $260.6 million, up 12.1%, or 16.5% after adjusting for currency translation, when compared to the prior year, primarily due to year-over-year growth in sales related to the CH-53K and LEAP programs within the Engineered Composites segment.
  • Gross profit of $100.5 million was 9.2% higher than the $92.0 million reported for the same period of 2021.
  • Selling, Technical, General, and Research (STG&R) expenses were $46.8 million, compared to $47.4 million in the same period of 2021. The decrease was driven by the favorable effect of the revaluation of foreign currency in the Machine Clothing segment.
  • Operating income was $53.6 million, compared to $44.5 million in the prior year, an increase of 20.6%.
  • Certain pension plan liabilities were settled for a plan in the U.S., leading to charges totaling $49.1 million and reducing GAAP earnings per share by $1.20.
  • Effective tax rate for the quarter was -41.9%, driven by the release of residual taxes as a result of the pension settlement; excluding the effect of the pension settlement and related adjustments, the effective tax rate for the quarter was 24.6% or 250 basis points lower than that for the third quarter of 2021, mainly due to favorable discrete tax adjustments in the third quarter of 2022.
  • Net income attributable to the Company was $10.7 million ($0.34 per share), compared to $30.9 million ($0.95 per share) in the third quarter of 2021. Adjusted earnings per share (or Adjusted EPS, a non-GAAP measure) was $1.15 per share in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $0.83 in the same period of last year.
  • Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) was $68.1 million, compared to $60.2 million in the third quarter of 2021, an increase of 13%.

Please see the tables below for a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to their comparable GAAP measures.

Outlook for Full-Year 2022

The Company has updated its guidance for the full year 2022 as follows:

  • Total company revenue of between $990 million and $1.015 billion;
  • Effective income tax rate, including tax adjustments, of 25% to 27%;
  • Total company depreciation and amortization of between $71 and $72 million;
  • Capital expenditures in the range of $75 to $85 million;
  • GAAP earnings per share of between $2.84 and $3.14;
  • Adjusted earnings per share of between $3.50 and $3.80;
  • Total company Adjusted EBITDA of $240 to $255 million;
  • Machine Clothing revenue of $595 to $610 million;
  • Machine Clothing Adjusted EBITDA of between $215 and $225 million;
  • Albany Engineered Composites revenue of between $395 and $405 million; and

(a) Foreign currency revaluation (gains)/losses represent unrealized gains and losses arising from the remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies on the balance sheet date.

(b) Our Adjusted EPS excluded the benefit from the reclassification of stranded income tax effects caused by the TCJA associated with the US pension plan liability that was eliminated in September 2022, a one-time event that would not recur in the future. Such stranded income tax effect represented a one-time benefit that distorted the effective tax rate for the quarter and year-to-date ended September 30, 2022 , and would not be indicative of ongoing or expected future income tax rate at the Company. Management believes excluding pension settlement expense and its income tax impact, including the stranded income tax effects, from its Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS for the quarter and year-to-date ended September 30, 2022 would provide investors a transparent view and enhanced ability to better assess the Company’s ongoing operational and financial performance.

Non-GAAP Measures

This release, including the conference call commentary associated with this release, contains certain non-GAAP measures, that should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures. Such non-GAAP measures include net sales and percent change in net sales, excluding the impact of currency translation effects ; EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin; Net debt; Net leverage ratio; and Adjusted earnings per share (or Adjusted EPS). Management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide additional useful information to investors regarding the Company’s operational performance.

Presenting Net sales and change in Net sales, after currency effects are excluded, provides management and investors insight into underlying sales trends. Net sales, or percent changes in net sales, excluding currency rate effects, are calculated by converting amounts reported in local currencies into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of a prior period. These amounts are then compared to the U.S. dollar amount as reported in the current period.

EBITDA (calculated as net income excluding interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization), Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EPS are performance measures that relate to the Company’s continuing operations. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA excluding costs or benefits that are not reflective of the Company’s ongoing or expected future operational performance. Such excluded costs or benefits do not consist of normal, recurring cash items necessary to generate revenues or operate our business. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA expressed as a percentage of net sales.

The Company defines Adjusted EPS as basic earnings per share (GAAP), adjusted by the after tax per share amount of costs or benefits not reflective of the Company’s ongoing or expected future operational performance. The income tax effects are calculated using the applicable statutory income tax rate of the jurisdictions where such costs or benefits were incurred or the effective tax rate applicable to total company results.

The Company’s Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and Adjusted EPS may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Net debt aids investors in understanding the Company’s debt position if all available cash were applied to pay down indebtedness.

Net leverage ratio informs the investors of the Company's financial leverage at the end of the reporting period, providing an indicator of the Company's ability to repay its debt.

We encourage investors to review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.

Because 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), actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements in this release or in the webcast include, without limitation, statements about macroeconomic conditions, including inflationary cost pressures, as well as global events, which include but are not limited to, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine military conflicts; paper-industry trends and conditions during 2022 and in future years; expectations in 2022 and in future periods of sales, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA (both in dollars and as a percentage of net sales), Adjusted EPS, income, gross profit, gross margin, cash flows and other financial items 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 the sales growth potential of key AEC programs, as well as AEC as a whole; 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 changes in currency rates and their impact on 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.
