Albany International Reports First-Quarter 2021 Results

Albany International Corp. (NYSE:AIN) today reported operating results for its first quarter of 2021, which ended March 31, 2021.

"Albany International’s year is off to a good start with solid first quarter performance,” said Albany International President and Chief Executive Officer, Bill Higgins. “Our business segments continued to deliver excellent operational performance resulting in attractive profit margins despite top-line headwinds caused by the ongoing destocking in the commercial aerospace supply chain. With excellent free cash flow and a healthy balance sheet we are in great financial shape and continue to focus our efforts on operational execution and the pursuit of organic growth opportunities.

“Machine Clothing segment sales strengthened across most product lines and regions, resulting in the segment’s highest first-quarter revenue since 2015. The sales growth and excellent operational execution translated directly into profit growth. The segment’s order book remains strong and supports our outlook for 2021.

“The first quarter results from the Engineered Composites segment are consistent with our plans and expectations for the year. Despite lower segment revenues compared to last year, we delivered expanded adjusted EBITDA margins due to excellent program execution and effective cost controls. The segment is well positioned to meet future demand once inventories in the supply chain adjust to the planned OEM production rates.

“Overall, we are very pleased with how the year is progressing and are reiterating our guidance for 2021. We continue to expect a strong year of operational execution and free cash flow generation. That said, we recognize that there remain risks due to the global pandemic, particularly in commercial aerospace markets,” concluded Higgins.

For the first quarter ended March 31, 2021:

  • Net sales were $222.4 million, down $13.4 million, or 6%, when compared to the prior year. Sales declined $25.0 million, or 25.2%, in the Engineered Composites segment driven by lower demand for commercial aircraft components, partially offset by $11.6 million, or 8.5%, growth in Machine Clothing segment sales.
  • Gross profit of $88.5 million was 1% lower than the $89.5 million reported for the same period of 2020.
  • Selling, Technical, General, and Research (STG&R) expenses were $46.7 million, compared to $49.2 million in the same period of 2020. Revaluation of foreign currency balances decreased STG&R by $0.5 million in 2021, compared to a decrease of $3.7 million in the same period of 2020.
  • Operating income was $41.8 million, compared to $39.6 million in the prior year, an increase of 6%, principally due to lower STG&R expenses.
  • The effective tax rate was 26.7%, compared to an unusually high 62.1% for the first quarter of 2020. Discrete income tax adjustments decreased first-quarter income tax expense by $1.3 million in 2021, compared to a $5.1 million increase to income tax expense in 2020.
  • Net income attributable to the Company was $27.6 million ($0.85 per share), compared to $9.1 million ($0.28 per share) in Q1 2020. Adjusted earnings per share (or Adjusted EPS, a non-GAAP measure) was $0.87 per share in the first quarter of 2021, compared to $0.78 in the same period of last year.
  • Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) was $60.7 million, compared to $59.1 million in Q1 2020, an increase of 2.6%.

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

Outlook for Full-Year 2021

The Company has updated GAAP earnings per share guidance to reflect non-GAAP adjustments reported in Q1. All other previously issued guidance for 2021 remains unchanged:

  • Total company revenue of between $850 and $890 million;
  • Effective income tax rate, including tax adjustments, of 28% to 30%;
  • Total company depreciation and amortization of between $70 and $75 million;
  • Capital expenditures in the range of $50 to $60 million;
  • GAAP earnings per share of between $2.38 and $2.78 and Adjusted earnings per share of between $2.40 and $2.80;
  • Total company Adjusted EBITDA of $195 to $220 million;
  • Machine Clothing revenue of $570 to $590 million;
  • Machine Clothing Adjusted EBITDA of between $195 and $205 million;
  • Albany Engineered Composites (AEC) revenue between $275 to $295 million; and
  • Albany Engineered Composites Adjusted EBITDA of $55 to $65 million.

Non-GAAP Measures

This release, including the conference call commentary associated with this release, contains certain non-GAAP measures, including: net sales, and percent change in net sales, excluding the impact of currency translation effects (for each segment and on a consolidated basis); EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (for each segment and on a consolidated basis, represented in dollars or as a percentage of net sales); Net debt; and Adjusted earnings per share (or Adjusted EPS). Such items are provided because management believes that they provide additional useful information to investors regarding the Company’s operational performance.

Presenting Net sales and increases or decreases in Net sales, after currency effects are excluded, can give 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, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS are performance measures that relate to the Company’s continuing operations. EBITDA, or net income with interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization added back, is a common indicator of financial performance used, among other things, to analyze and compare core profitability between companies and industries because it eliminates effects due to differences in financing, asset bases and taxes. The Company calculates EBITDA by removing the following from Net income: Interest expense, net, Income tax expense, Depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by: adding to EBITDA costs associated with restructuring, former CEO termination costs, and inventory write-offs associated with discontinued businesses; adding charges and credits related to pension plan settlements and curtailments; adding (or subtracting) revaluation losses (or gains); subtracting (or adding) gains (or losses) from the sale of buildings or investments; subtracting insurance recovery gains in excess of previously recorded losses; adding acquisition/integration costs and subtracting (or adding) Income (or loss) attributable to the non-controlling interest in Albany Safran Composites (ASC). Adjusted EBITDA may also be presented as a percentage of net sales by dividing it by net sales. An understanding of the impact in a particular quarter of specific restructuring costs, former CEO termination costs, acquisition/integration costs, currency revaluation, inventory write-offs associated with discontinued businesses, or other gains and losses, on net income (absolute as well as on a per-share basis), operating income or EBITDA can give management and investors additional insight into core financial performance, especially when compared to quarters in which such items had a greater or lesser effect, or no effect. Restructuring expenses, while frequent in recent years, are reflective of significant reductions in manufacturing capacity and associated headcount in response to shifting markets, and not of the profitability of the business going forward as restructured. Adjusted earnings per share (Adjusted EPS) is calculated by adding to (or subtracting from) net income attributable to the Company per share, on an after-tax basis: restructuring charges; former CEO severance costs; charges and credits related to pension plan settlements and curtailments; inventory write-offs associated with discontinued businesses; foreign currency revaluation losses (or gains); acquisition-related expenses; and losses (or gains) from the sale of investments.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EPS, as defined by the Company, may not be similar to similarly named measures of other companies. Such measures are not 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 quarterly per-share amount for items included in continuing operations by using an income tax rate based on either the tax rates in specific countries or the estimated tax rate applied to total company results. The tax rate applied excludes income tax adjustments (discrete tax adjustments and the effect of changes in the estimated income tax rate). The after-tax amount is then divided by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for each period. Year-to-date earnings per-share effects are determined by adding the amounts calculated at each reporting period.

Net debt is, in the opinion of the Company, helpful to investors wishing to understand what the Company’s debt position would be if all available cash were applied to pay down indebtedness. The Company calculates Net debt by subtracting Cash and cash equivalents from Total debt. Total debt is calculated by adding Long-term debt, Current maturities of long-term debt, and Notes and loans payable, if any.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release may contain statements, estimates, guidance 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,” “look for,” “guidance,” “guide,” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature. 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 and paper-industry trends and conditions during 2021 and in future years; expectations in 2021 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.
