NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of results for such periods. Albany International Corp. (Albany, the Registrant, the Company, we, us, or our) consolidates the financial results of its subsidiaries for all periods presented. The results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in Albany International Corp.’s Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with Albany International Corp.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

2. Reportable Segments and Revenue Recognition
In accordance with applicable disclosure guidance for enterprise segments and related information, the internal organization that is used by management for making operating decisions and assessing performance is used as the basis for our reportable segments.
The Machine Clothing (“MC”) segment supplies permeable and impermeable belts used in the manufacture of paper, paperboard, tissue and towel, nonwovens, fiber cement and several other industrial applications. We sell our MC products directly to customer end-users in countries across the globe. Our products, manufacturing processes, and distribution channels for MC are substantially the same in each region of the world in which we operate.
We design, manufacture, and market paper machine clothing (used in the manufacturing of paper, paperboard, tissue and towel) for each section of the paper machine and for every grade of paper. Paper machine clothing products are customized, consumable products of technologically sophisticated design that utilize polymeric materials in a complex structure.
The Albany Engineered Composites (“AEC”) segment, including Albany Safran Composites, LLC (“ASC”), in which our customer SAFRAN Group (“Safran”) owns a 10 percent noncontrolling interest, provides highly engineered, advanced composite structures to customers in the commercial and defense aerospace industries. AEC’s largest program relates to CFM International’s LEAP engine. Under this program, AEC through ASC, is the exclusive supplier of advanced composite fan blades and cases under a long-term supply contract. AEC net sales to Safran were $54.0 million and $57.0 million in the first six months of 2021 and 2020, respectively. The total of Accounts receivable, Contract assets and Noncurrent receivables due from Safran amounted to $105.1 million and $127.1 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Other significant programs by AEC include the F-35, Boeing 787, Sikorsky CH-53K and JASSM, as well as the fan case for the GE9X engine. In 2020, approximately 46 percent of AEC sales were related to U.S. government contracts or programs.

The table below presents restructuring costs by reportable segment (also see Note 4):

Total$(9)$2,837 $43 $3,479 

Products and services provided under long-term contracts represent a significant portion of sales in the Albany Engineered Composites segment and we account for these contracts using the percentage of completion (actual cost to estimated cost) method. That method requires significant judgment and estimation, which could be considerably different if the underlying circumstances were to change. When adjustments in estimated contract revenues or costs are required, any changes from prior estimates are included in earnings in the period the change occurs. Changes in the estimated profitability of long-term contracts could be caused by increases or decreases in the contract value, revisions to customer delivery requirements, updated labor or overhead rates, factors affecting the supply chain, changes in the evaluation of contract risks and opportunities, or other factors. Changes in the estimated profitability of long-term contracts increased operating income by $4.3 million and $3.7 million for the second quarter and first half of 2021, respectively. Adjustments in the estimated profitability of long-term contracts increased operating income by $7.4 million and $6.4 million for the second quarter and first half of 2020, respectively.

We disaggregate revenue earned from contracts with customers for each of our business segments and product groups based on the timing of revenue recognition, and groupings used for internal review purposes.

As permitted by ASC 606, we only disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected duration of greater than one year. Contracts in the MC segment are generally for periods of less than a year. Most contracts in the AEC segment are short duration firm-fixed-price orders representing performance obligations with an original maturity of less than one year. Remaining performance obligations on contracts that had an original duration of greater than one year totaled $149 million and $85 million as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and related primarily to firm contracts in the AEC segment. Of the remaining performance obligations as of June 30, 2021, we expect to recognize as revenue approximately $48 million during 2021, $62 million during 2022, $24 million during 2023, and the remainder during 2024.

3. Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans
The Company has defined benefit pension plans covering certain U.S. and non-U.S. employees. The Company also provides certain postretirement benefits to retired employees in the U.S. and Canada. The Company accrues the cost of providing these benefits during the active service period of the employees.
The composition of the net periodic benefit cost for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, was as follows:

Amortization of net actuarial loss1,087 1,180 1,130 1,296 
Net periodic benefit cost$1,647 $2,378 $(497)$9 
The amount of net periodic benefit cost is determined at the beginning of each year and generally only varies from quarter to quarter when a significant event occurs, such as a curtailment or a settlement. There were no such events in the first six months of 2021. In the second quarter of 2020, the Company recorded expense of $0.4 million related to curtailments and settlements.
Service cost for defined benefit pension and postretirement plans are reported in the same line item as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. Other components of net periodic benefit cost are included in the line item Other (income)/expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

4. Restructuring
Restructuring costs in the first six months of 2021 were not significant. Restructuring costs in the first six months of 2020 were related to reductions in workforce at various AEC locations, principally in the United States, as well as related to discontinued operations at the Machine Clothing production facility in Sélestat, France. Since 2017, we have recorded $13.9 million of restructuring charges related to this action. There were no charges related to the impairment of assets for the periods presented.
The following table summarizes charges reported in the Consolidated Statements of Income under “Restructuring expenses, net”:

Other (income)/expense, net included losses related to the revaluation of nonfunctional-currency balances of $0.3 million for the first six months of 2021, compared to losses of $14.9 million for the first six months of 2020, which principally resulted from an intercompany demand loan payable by a Mexican subsidiary. As a result of changes in business conditions that occurred in the first quarter of 2020, loan repayments on that intercompany loan are not expected in the foreseeable future and, beginning April 1, 2020, the revaluation effects are recorded in Other comprehensive income.

Income tax expense for the quarter was computed in accordance with ASC 740-270, Income Taxes – Interim Reporting. Under this method, loss jurisdictions, which cannot recognize a tax benefit with regard to their generated losses, are excluded from the annual effective tax rate (AETR) calculation and their taxes will be recorded discretely in each quarter.
In the second quarter of 2020, the Company recorded a net tax benefit of $1.5 million as a result of a US state tax audit settlement; the Company also recorded a net deferred tax expense of $1.0 million due to an adjustment of net operating losses related to settled audits. In the first quarter of 2020, the Company recorded a $1.8 million out-of-period charge related to developments in ongoing tax audits, which resulted in a corresponding decrease in deferred tax assets.

11. Contract Assets and Liabilities
Contract assets includes unbilled amounts typically resulting from sales under contracts when the cost-to-cost method of revenue recognition is utilized, and revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer. Contract assets are transferred to Accounts receivable, net when the entitlement to pay becomes unconditional. Contract liabilities include advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized. Contract liabilities are included in Accrued liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Contract assets and Contract liabilities are reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets in a net position on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period.
As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, Contract assets and Contract liabilities consisted of the following:

Contract assets, net$113,225 $139,289 
Contract liabilities$7,136 $8,206 

Contract assets decreased $26.1 million during the six-month period ended June 30, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to invoicing to customers exceeding revenue recognized for satisfied performance obligations for contracts that were in a contract asset position. There were no credit losses related to our Contract assets during the six month periods ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020.
Contract liabilities decreased $1.1 million during the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to revenue recognized from satisfied performance obligations exceeding amounts invoiced to customers that were in a contract liability position. Revenue recognized for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 that was included in the Contract liability balance at the beginning of the year was $4.7 million and $2.1 million, respectively.

12. Inventories
Costs included in inventories are raw materials, labor, supplies and allocable depreciation and overhead. Raw material inventories are valued on an average cost basis. Other inventory cost elements are valued at cost, using the first-in, first-out method. The Company writes down the inventories for estimated obsolescence, and to lower of cost or net realizable value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual demand or market conditions are less favorable than those projected by the Company, additional inventory write-downs may be required. Once established, the original cost of the inventory less the related write-down represents the new cost basis of such inventories.
As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, Inventories consisted of the following:

13. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment at least annually. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in each business combination. Our reportable segments are consistent with our operating segments.
Determining the fair value of a reporting unit requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including revenue growth rates, operating margins, discount rates, and future market conditions, among others. Goodwill and other long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events, such as significant changes in the business climate, plant closures, changes in product offerings, or other circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
To determine fair value, we utilize two market-based approaches and an income approach. Under the market-based approaches, we utilize information regarding the Company, as well as publicly available industry information, to determine earnings multiples and sales multiples. Under the income approach, we determine fair value based on estimated future cash flows of each reporting unit, discounted by an estimated weighted-average cost of capital, which reflects the overall level of inherent risk of a reporting unit and the rate of return an outside investor would expect to earn.
In the second quarter of 2021, management applied the qualitative assessment approach in performing its annual evaluation of goodwill for the Company's Machine Clothing reporting unit and three AEC reporting units and
16
concluded that each reporting unit’s fair value continued to exceed its carrying value. In addition, there were no amounts at risk due to the estimated spread between the fair and carrying values. Accordingly, no impairment charges were recorded.

14. Financial Instruments
Long-term debt, principally to banks and noteholders, consists of:

Revolving credit agreement with borrowings outstanding at an end of period interest rate of 3.74% in 2021 and 3.50% in 2020 (including the effect of interest rate hedging transactions, as described below), due in 2024

Long-term debt, net of current portion$350,000 $398,000 

On October 27, 2020, we entered into a $700 million unsecured Four-Year Revolving Credit Facility Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) which amended and restated the prior amended and restated $685 million Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility Agreement, which we had entered into on November 7, 2017 (the “Prior Agreement”). Under the Credit Agreement, $350 million of borrowings were outstanding as of June 30, 2021. The applicable interest rate for borrowings was LIBOR plus a spread, based on our leverage ratio at the time of borrowing. At the time of the last borrowing on June 30, 2021, the spread was 1.625%. The spread was based on a pricing grid, which ranged from 1.500% to 2.000%, based on our leverage ratio. Based on our maximum leverage ratio and our Consolidated EBITDA, and without modification to any other credit agreements, as of June 30, 2021, we would have been able to borrow an additional $350 million under the Agreement.
The Credit Agreement contains customary terms, as well as affirmative covenants, negative covenants and events of default that are comparable to those in the Prior Agreement. The Borrowings are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries.
Our ability to borrow additional amounts under the Credit Agreement is conditional upon the absence of any defaults, as well as the absence of any material adverse change (as defined in the Credit Agreement).
On June 14, 2021, we entered into interest rate swap agreements for the period October 17, 2022 through October 27, 2024. These transactions have the effect of fixing the LIBOR portion of the effective interest rate (before addition of the spread) on $350 million of indebtedness drawn under the Credit Agreement at the rate of 0.838% during the period. Under the terms of these transactions, we pay the fixed rate of 0.838% and the counterparties pay a floating rate based on the one-month LIBOR rate at each monthly calculation date, which on June 16, 2021 was 0.08%.
On November 27, 2017, we terminated our interest rate swap agreements, originally entered into on May 9, 2016, that had effectively fixed the interest rate on $300 million of revolving credit borrowings, in order to enter into a new interest rate swap with a greater notional amount, and the same maturity as the Credit Agreement. We received $6.3 million when the swap agreements were terminated, which has been fully amortized into interest expense through March 2021.
On November 28, 2017, we entered into interest rate swap agreements for the period December 18, 2017 through October 17, 2022. These transactions have the effect of fixing the LIBOR portion of the effective interest rate (before addition of the spread) on $350 million of indebtedness drawn under the Credit Agreement at the rate of 2.11% during the period. Under the terms of these transactions, we pay the fixed rate of 2.11% and the counterparties pay a floating rate based on the one-month LIBOR rate at each monthly calculation date, which on June 16, 2021 was 0.08%, during the swap period. On June 16, 2021, the all-in-rate on the $350 million of debt was 3.735%.

These interest rate swaps are accounted for as a hedge of future cash flows, as further described in Note 15. No cash collateral was received or pledged in relation to the swap agreements.
17
Under the Credit Agreement, we are currently required to maintain a leverage ratio (as defined in the agreement) of not greater than 3.50 to 1.00 and minimum interest coverage (as defined) of 3.00 to 1.00.
As of June 30, 2021, our leverage ratio was 1.08 to 1.00 and our interest coverage ratio was 15.02 to 1.00. We may purchase our Common Stock or pay dividends to the extent our leverage ratio remains at or below 3.50 to 1.00, and may make acquisitions with cash, provided our leverage ratio does not exceed the limits noted above.
Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement is ranked equally in right of payment to all unsecured senior debt.
We were in compliance with all debt covenants as of June 30, 2021.

15. Fair-Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Accounting principles establish a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and include situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. We had no Level 3 financial assets or liabilities at June 30, 2021, or at December 31, 2020.
The following table presents the fair-value hierarchy for our Level 1 and Level 2 financial and non-financial assets and liabilities, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

(a)Original cost basis $0.5 million.

Cash equivalents include short-term securities that are considered to be highly liquid and easily tradable. These securities are valued using inputs observable in active markets for identical securities.
The interest rate swaps are accounted for as hedges of future cash flows. The fair value of our interest rate swaps are derived from a discounted cash flow analysis based on the terms of the contract and the interest rate curve, and is included in Other assets and/or Other noncurrent liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Unrealized gains and losses on the swaps flow through the caption Derivative valuation adjustment in the Shareholders’ equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2021, these interest rate swaps were determined to be highly effective hedges of interest rate cash flow risk. Amounts accumulated in Other comprehensive income are reclassified as Interest expense, net when the related interest payments (that is, the hedged forecasted transactions), and amortization related to the swap buyouts, affect earnings. Interest (income)/expense related to payments under the active swap agreements totaled $3.5 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2021, and $1.9 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2020. Additionally, non-cash interest income related to the amortization of swap buyouts totaled $0.3 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2021 and $0.4 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2020.

16. Contingencies

Asbestos Litigation
Albany International Corp. is a defendant in suits brought in various courts in the United States by plaintiffs who allege that they have suffered personal injury as a result of exposure to asbestos-containing paper machine clothing synthetic dryer fabrics marketed during the period from 1967 to 1976 and used in certain paper mills.
We were defending 3,617 claims as of June 30, 2021.

We anticipate that additional claims will be filed against the Company and related companies in the future, but are unable to predict the number and timing of such future claims. Due to the fact that information sufficient to meaningfully estimate a range of possible loss of a particular claim is typically not available until late in the discovery process, we do not believe a meaningful estimate can be made regarding the range of possible loss with respect to pending or future claims and therefore are unable to estimate a range of reasonably possible loss in excess of amounts already accrued for pending or future claims.
While we believe we have meritorious defenses to these claims, we have settled certain claims for amounts we consider reasonable given the facts and circumstances of each case. Our insurance carrier has defended each case and funded settlements under a standard reservation of rights. As of June 30, 2021, we had resolved, by means of settlement or dismissal, 37,957 claims. The total cost of resolving all claims was $10.4 million. Of this amount, almost 100% was paid by our insurance carrier, who has confirmed that we have approximately $140 million of remaining coverage under primary and excess policies that should be available with respect to current and future asbestos claims.
The Company’s subsidiary, Brandon Drying Fabrics, Inc. (“Brandon”), is also a separate defendant in many of the asbestos cases in which Albany is named as a defendant, despite never having manufactured any fabrics containing asbestos. While Brandon was defending against 7,709 claims as of June 30, 2021, only twelve claims have been filed against Brandon since January 1, 2012, and a negligible amount of settlement costs have been incurred since 2001. Brandon was acquired by the Company in 1999, and has its own insurance policies covering periods prior to 1999. Since 2004, Brandon’s insurance carriers have covered 100% of indemnification and defense costs, subject to policy limits and a standard reservation of rights.
In some of these asbestos cases, the Company is named both as a direct defendant and as the “successor in interest” to Mount Vernon Mills (“Mount Vernon”). We acquired certain assets from Mount Vernon in 1993. Certain plaintiffs allege injury caused by asbestos-containing products alleged to have been sold by Mount Vernon many years prior to this acquisition. Mount Vernon is contractually obligated to indemnify the Company against any liability arising out of such products. We deny any liability for products sold by Mount Vernon prior to the acquisition of the Mount Vernon assets. Pursuant to its contractual indemnification obligations, Mount Vernon has assumed the defense of these claims. On this basis, we have successfully moved for dismissal in a number of actions.
We currently do not anticipate, based on currently available information, that the ultimate resolution of the aforementioned proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company. Although we cannot predict the number and timing of future claims, based on the foregoing factors, the trends in claims filed against us, and available insurance, we also do not currently anticipate that potential future claims will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

18. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

As disclosed in our March 31, 2020 Form 10Q, in March 2020, ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform, was issued to provide optional guidance for a limited time to ease the potential accounting burden associated with transitioning away from reference rates such as LIBOR. The expedients and exceptions provided by this update will not be available after December 31, 2022, other than for certain hedging relationships entered into prior. For the Company’s cash flow hedges in which the designated hedged risk is LIBOR, the Company has adopted the portion of the guidance that allows it to assert that it remains probable that the hedged forecasted transaction will occur. The Company plans to adopt the remaining applicable provisions of this guidance beginning on July 1, 2021.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) is intended to help the reader understand the results of operations and financial condition of the Company. MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes.
Forward-looking statements
This quarterly report and the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in this quarterly report contain statements concerning our future results and performance and other matters that are “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “project,” ”look for,” “will,” “should,” “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 prior Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q) actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
There are a number of risks, uncertainties, and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to:
•Conditions in the industries in which our Machine Clothing and Albany Engineered Composites segments compete, along with the general risks associated with macroeconomic conditions, including continuation of COVID-19 pandemic effects for an extended period of time;
•In the Machine Clothing segment, greater than anticipated declines in the demand for publication grades of paper, or lower than anticipated growth in other paper grades;
•In the Albany Engineered Composites segment, longer than expected timeframe for the aerospace industry to utilize existing inventories, and unanticipated reductions in demand, delays, technical difficulties, or cancellations in aerospace programs that are expected to generate revenue and drive long-term growth;
•Failure to achieve or maintain anticipated profitable growth in our Albany Engineered Composites segment; and
•Other risks and uncertainties detailed in this report.
Further information concerning important factors that could cause actual events or results to be materially different from the forward-looking statements can be found in “Business Environment Overview and Trends” sections of this quarterly report, as well as in Item 1A-“Risk Factors” section of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. Although we believe the expectations reflected in our other forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, it is not possible to foresee or identify all factors that could have a material and negative impact on our future performance. The forward-looking statements included or incorporated by reference in this report are made on the basis of our assumptions and analyses, as of the time the statements are made, in light of our experience and perception of historical conditions, expected future developments, and other factors believed to be appropriate under the circumstances.
Except as otherwise required by the federal securities laws, we disclaim any obligations or undertaking to publicly release any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement contained or incorporated by reference in this report to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any such statement is based.
Business Environment Overview and Trends
Our reportable segments, Machine Clothing (“MC”) and Albany Engineered Composites (“AEC”), draw on the same advanced textiles and materials processing capabilities, and compete on the basis of product-based advantage that is grounded in those core capabilities.
The MC segment is the Company’s long-established core business and primary generator of cash. While it has been negatively impacted by well-documented declines in publication grades in the Company’s traditional markets, there has been some offsetting effect due to growth in demand for packaging and tissue grades, as well as the expansion of paper consumption and production in Asia and South America. We feel we are well-positioned in key markets, with high-quality, low-cost production in growth markets, substantially lower fixed costs in mature markets,
22
and continued strength in new product development, technical product support, and manufacturing technology. Some of the markets in which our products are sold are expected to have low levels of growth and we face pricing pressures in all markets. Despite these market pressures on revenue, the MC business retains the potential for maintaining stable earnings in the future. MC has been a significant generator of cash, and we seek to maintain the cash-generating potential of this business by maintaining the low costs that we have achieved through continuous focus on cost-reduction initiatives, and competing vigorously by using our differentiated and technically superior products to reduce our customers’ total cost of operation and improve their paper quality.
The AEC segment provides significant longer term growth potential for our Company. Our strategy is to grow by focusing our proprietary 3D-woven technology, as well as our non-3D technology capabilities, on high-value aerospace (both commercial and defense) applications, while at the same time performing successfully on our portfolio of growth programs. AEC (including Albany Safran Composites, LLC (“ASC”), in which our customer, SAFRAN Group, owns a 10 percent noncontrolling interest) supplies a number of customers in the aerospace industry. AEC’s largest aerospace customer is the SAFRAN Group and sales to SAFRAN, through ASC, (consisting primarily of fan blades and cases for CFM’s LEAP engine) accounted for approximately 11 percent of the Company’s consolidated Net sales in 2020. AEC, through ASC, also supplies 3D-woven composite fan cases for the GE9X engine. AEC’s current portfolio of non-3D programs includes components for the F-35, fuselage components for the Boeing 787, components for the CH-53K helicopter, vacuum waste tanks for Boeing 7-Series aircraft, and missile bodies for Lockheed Martin’s JASSM air-to-surface missiles. AEC is actively engaged in research to develop new applications in both commercial and defense aircraft engine and airframe markets. In 2020, approximately 46 percent of AEC sales were related to U.S. government contracts or programs.

Three month comparison
•Changes in currency translation rates had the effect of increasing Net sales by $6.4 million during the second quarter of 2021, as compared to 2020, principally due to stronger Euro and Chinese Yuan Renminbi in 2021.
•Excluding the effect of changes in currency translation rates:
•Net sales increased 1.0% compared to the same period in 2020.
•Net sales in MC increased 0.8% compared to the second quarter of 2020, principally due to growth in sales for packaging grades and engineered fabrics, partially offset by declines in other grades.
•Net sales in AEC increased 1.3%, mainly due to an increase in sales for the LEAP and CH-53K programs, partially offset by a decline in sales on the Boeing 787 program.
Six month comparison
•Changes in currency translation rates had the effect of increasing Net sales by $12.4 million during the first six months of 2021, as compared to 2020, principally due to stronger Euro and Chinese Yuan Renminbi in 2021.
•Excluding the effect of changes in currency translation rates:
•Net sales decreased 3.7% compared to the same period in 2020.
•Net sales in MC increased 2.7% compared to the first six months of 2020, primarily due to growth in sales for packaging grades and Engineered Fabrics, partially offset by declines in other grades.

Three month comparison
The decrease in second quarter 2021 Gross profit, as compared to the same period in 2020, was due to a decline in AEC Gross profit, partially offset by higher Gross profit in MC . Gross profit as a percentage of sales:
•Decreased from 54.5% in 2020 to 52.9% in 2021 in MC, due to higher input and fixed costs, partially offset by improved absorption.
•Decreased from 26.7% in 2020 to 23.0% in 2021 in AEC, principally due to a smaller impact from changes in the estimated profitability of long-term contracts, which increased Gross profit by $4.3 million for the second quarter of 2021, compared to an increase of $7.4 million for the second quarter of 2020.

Six month comparison
Gross Profit for the first half of 2021 was slightly lower than the same period in 2020. Gross profit as a percentage of sales:
•Decreased from 53.9% in 2020 to 52.2% in 2021 in MC, due to an increase in production costs and lower cost absorption.
•Decreased from 21.1% in 2020 to 19.7% in 2021 in AEC, driven by changes in the estimated profitability of long-term contracts, which increased Gross profit by $3.7 million versus $6.4 million in the first half of 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Selling, Technical, General, and Research (STG&R)

Three month comparison
The overall increase in STG&R expenses in the second quarter of 2021, compared to the same period in 2020, was driven by higher incentive compensation and travel expense, as well as research and development spending. Additionally, revaluation of nonfunctional currency assets and liabilities in Machine Clothing resulted in a second-quarter loss of $1.9 million in 2021, compared to a loss of $1.1 million for the same period in 2020.

Six month comparison
The overall increase in STG&R expenses in the first six months of 2021, compared to the same period in 2020, was due to the net effect of the following:
26
•Revaluation of nonfunctional currency assets and liabilities in Machine Clothing, which resulted in a loss of $1.4 million in 2021, compared to a gain of $2.6 million for the first six months of 2020
•Former CEO termination costs of $2.7 million were recorded in Corporate expenses during the first quarter of 2020
•Higher incentive compensation in all business segments in 2021

Restructuring Expense, net
In addition to the items discussed above affecting Gross profit and STG&R expenses, Operating income was minimally affected by restructuring costs in the first six months of 2021, but totaled $3.5 million for the same period in 2020.
The following table summarizes Restructuring expenses, net by business segment:

Year-to-date 2021 Interest expense, net, was lower as compared to 2020, due to lower average debt outstanding. See the Capital Resources section for further discussion of borrowings and interest rates.

Other (income)/expense, net
27
Three and Six month comparison
Other (income)/expense net included losses related to the revaluation of nonfunctional-currency balances of $0.3 million for the first six months of 2021, compared to losses of $14.9 million for the first six months of 2020, which principally resulted from an intercompany demand loan payable by a Mexican subsidiary. As a result of changes in business conditions that occurred in the first quarter of 2020, loan repayments on that intercompany loan are not expected in the foreseeable future and, beginning April 1, 2020, the revaluation effects are recorded in Other comprehensive income.

Income Tax
The Company has operations, which constitute a taxable presence in 18 countries outside of the United States. The majority of these countries had income tax rates that are above the United States federal tax rate of 21 percent during the periods reported. The jurisdictional location of earnings is a significant component of our effective tax rate each year. The rate impact of this component is influenced by the specific location of non-U.S. earnings and the level of our total earnings. From period to period, the jurisdictional mix of earnings can vary as a result of operating fluctuations in the normal course of business, as well as the extent and location of other income and expense items, such as pension settlement and restructuring charges.

Three and six month comparison
The Company’s effective tax rates for the second quarter of 2021 and 2020 were 30.0% and 32.1%, respectively, and for the first half of 2021 and 2020, were 28.5% and 41.0%, respectively. The tax rate is affected by recurring items, such as the income tax rate in the U.S. and non-U.S. jurisdictions and the mix of income earned in those jurisdictions. The tax rate is also affected by U.S. tax costs on foreign earnings, and by discrete items that may occur in any given year but are not consistent from year to year. The decrease in the Q2 2021 income tax rate from continuing operations, excluding discrete items, was primarily driven by a decrease in losses in a foreign jurisdiction that were excluded in calculating the quarterly income tax provision. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was significantly affected by a non-recurring tax adjustment due to non-deductible foreign exchange losses, which occurred in the first quarter of 2020.
Significant items that impacted the effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2021 and 2020 included the following (percentages reflect the effect of each item as a percentage of income before income taxes):

Segment Results of Operations
Machine Clothing Segment
Machine Clothing accounted for 68% of our consolidated revenues during the six months of 2021. MC products are purchased primarily by manufacturers of paper and paperboard. We feel we are well-positioned in these markets, with high-quality, low-cost production in growth markets, substantially lower fixed costs in mature markets, and continued strength in new product development, technical product support, and manufacturing technology. Recent technological advances in paper machine clothing, while contributing to the papermaking efficiency of customers, have lengthened the useful life of many of our products and had an adverse impact on overall paper machine clothing demand. Additionally, we face pricing pressures in all of our markets.
The Company’s manufacturing and product platforms position us well to meet these shifting demands across product grades and geographic regions. Our strategy for meeting these challenges continues to be to grow share in all markets, with new products and technology, and to maintain our manufacturing footprint to align with global demand, while we offset the effects of inflation through continuous productivity improvement.
We have incurred significant restructuring charges in recent years as we reduced MC manufacturing capacity and administrative positions in various countries.

Net Sales
Three month comparison
•Net sales increased by 4.2%.
•Changes in currency translation rates had the effect of increasing second-quarter 2021 sales by $5.3 million compared to the same period in 2020. That currency translation effect was mainly due to stronger Euro and Chinese Yuan Renminbi in the second quarter of 2021, compared to 2020.
•Excluding the effect of changes in currency translation rates, Net sales in MC increased 0.8% compared to the second quarter of 2020, principally due to growth in sales for packaging grades and engineered fabrics, partially offset by declines in other grades.

Six month comparison
•Net sales increased by 6.2%.
•Changes in currency translation rates had the effect of increasing 2021 sales by $10.1 million compared to the same period in 2020. That currency translation effect was principally due to stronger Euro and Chinese Yuan Renminbi in the first six months of 2021, compared to 2020.
•Excluding the effect of changes in currency translation rates, Net sales in MC increased 2.7% compared to 2020, as growth in sales for packaging grades and Engineered Fabrics partially offset the declines in other grades.

Gross Profit
Three month comparison
29
The decrease in MC Gross profit margins was due to higher input and fixed costs, partially offset by improved absorption, in the second quarter of 2021.

Six month comparison
The decrease in MC Gross profit margins was due to an increase in production costs and lower cost absorption compared to the same period in 2020.

The slight decrease in the second quarter of 2021 operating income, compared to the same period in 2020, was primarily due to a slight improvement in gross profit, partially offset by higher STG&R expenses.

Six month comparison
The increase in operating income in first half of 2021 was driven by higher gross profit, offset by higher STG&R expenses, compared to the same period in 2020.

Albany Engineered Composites Segment
The Albany Engineered Composites (AEC) segment, including Albany Safran Composites, LLC (ASC), in which our customer SAFRAN Group owns a 10 percent noncontrolling interest, provides highly engineered advanced composite structures to customers, primarily in the aerospace (both commercial and defense) industry. AEC’s largest program relates to CFM International’s LEAP engine. AEC, through ASC, is the exclusive supplier of advanced composite fan blades and cases for this program under a long-term supply contract. The LEAP engine is used on the Airbus A320neo and Boeing 737 MAX family of jets. Other significant AEC programs include components for the F-35, components for the CH-53K helicopter, fuselage frames for the Boeing 787, and the fan case for the GE9X engine.

Net Sales
Three month comparison
The increase in Net sales was mainly due to higher sales in the LEAP and CH-53K programs, partially offset by a decline in sales in the Boeing 787 program.

Six month comparison
The decrease in Net sales was primarily due to lower sales in the Boeing 787 program.

Gross Profit
Three and six month comparison
30
The decrease in Gross profit was principally due to smaller impact from changes in the estimated profitability of long-term contracts.

Long-term contracts
AEC has contracts with certain customers, including its contract for the LEAP program, where revenue is determined by a cost-plus-fee agreement. Revenue earned under these arrangements accounted for approximately 35 percent of segment revenue for each of the first six months of 2021 and 40 percent for the same period of 2020. LEAP engines are currently used on the Boeing 737 MAX, Airbus A320neo and COMAC aircraft.
In addition, AEC has long-term contracts in which the selling price is fixed. In accounting for those contracts, we estimate the profit margin expected at the completion of the contract and recognize a pro-rata share of that profit during the course of the contract using a cost-to-cost approach. Changes in estimated contract profitability will affect revenue and gross profit when the change occurs, which could have a significant favorable or unfavorable effect on revenue and gross profit in any reporting period. For contracts with anticipated losses, a provision for the entire amount of the estimated remaining loss is charged against income in the period in which the loss becomes known. Contract losses are determined considering all direct and indirect contract costs, exclusive of any selling, general or administrative cost allocations, which are treated as period expenses. Expected losses on projects include losses on contract options that are probable of exercise, excluding profitable options that often follow.

Operating Income
Three and six month comparison
The decrease in Operating income was driven by lower gross profit and higher STG&R expenses, offset by lower restructuring expenses.

Operating activities
Cash flow provided by operating activities was $95.6 million in the first six months of 2021, compared to $44.0 million in the first six months of 2020. This improvement was due to improved working capital cash flows in AEC and an increase in consolidated Net income.
Cash paid for income taxes was $22.8 million and $16.5 million for the first six months of 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase is primarily due to an increase in corporate income tax payments in Brazil, China and Switzerland related to prior year tax liabilities.
31
At June 30, 2021, we had $253.3 million of cash and cash equivalents, of which $215.2 million was held by subsidiaries outside of the United States.

Investing and Financing Activities
Capital expenditures for the first six months were $23.1 million in 2021 and $22.0 million in 2020.
Dividends have been declared each quarter since the fourth quarter of 2001. Decisions with respect to whether a dividend will be paid, and the amount of the dividend, are made by the Board of Directors each quarter. Future cash dividends will also depend on debt covenants and on the Board’s assessment of our ability to generate sufficient cash flows.

Capital Resources
We finance our business activities primarily with cash generated from operations and borrowings, largely through our revolving credit agreement as discussed below. Our subsidiaries outside of the United States may also maintain working capital lines with local banks, but borrowings under such local facilities tend to be insignificant. The majority of our cash balance at June 30, 2021 was held by non-U.S. subsidiaries. Based on cash on hand and credit facilities, we anticipate that the Company has sufficient capital resources to operate for the foreseeable future. We were in compliance with all debt covenants as of June 30, 2021.
On October 27, 2020, we entered into a $700 million unsecured Four-Year Revolving Credit Facility Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) which amended and restated the prior amended and restated $685 million Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility Agreement, which we had entered into on November 7, 2017 (the “Prior Agreement”). Under the Credit Agreement, $350 million of borrowings were outstanding as of June 30, 2021. The applicable interest rate for borrowings was LIBOR plus a spread, based on our leverage ratio at the time of borrowing. At the time of the last borrowing on June 30, 2021, the spread was 1.625%. The spread was based on a pricing grid, which ranged from 1.500% to 2.000%, based on our leverage ratio. Based on our maximum leverage ratio and our Consolidated EBITDA, and without modification to any other credit agreements, as of June 30, 2021, we would have been able to borrow an additional $350 million under the Agreement.
For more information, see Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2021, we have no off-balance sheet arrangements required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The information set forth under Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Non-GAAP Measures
This Form 10-Q 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. 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. An understanding of the impact in a particular quarter of specific restructuring costs, former CEO termination costs, acquisition/integrations costs, currency revaluation, pension settlement/curtailment charges, 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
32
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.
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. The Company calculates EBITDA by removing the following from Net income: Interest expense net, Income tax expense, and 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; adding acquisition/integration costs and subtracting (or adding) Income (or loss) attributable to the non-controlling interest in Albany Safran Composites (ASC). 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; inventory write-offs associated with discontinued businesses; charges and credits related to pension settlements and curtailments; foreign currency revaluation losses (or gains); and acquisition-related expenses.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted earnings per share 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 following tables show the calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:

The Company discloses certain income and expense items on a per-share basis. The Company believes that such disclosures provide important insight into the 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 the income tax rate based on either the tax rates in specific countries or the estimated tax rate applied to total company results. 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.
The following tables show the earnings per share effect of certain income and expense items:

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.
