Albany International Corp. reported a significant decline in financial performance for the third quarter of 2025, with net revenues of $261.4 million, down 12.4% from $298.4 million in the same period last year. For the nine months ending September 30, 2025, revenues also decreased by 8.7% to $861.6 million compared to $943.7 million in 2024. The company experienced a gross loss of $49.9 million for the quarter, a stark contrast to the gross profit of $90.4 million reported in the prior year. This downturn was attributed to increased costs and adjustments in profitability estimates for long-term contracts, particularly in the Albany Engineered Composites (AEC) segment.
The AEC segment faced a notable revenue drop of 25% for the quarter, primarily due to $46 million in revenue adjustments related to the CH-53K program. In contrast, the Machine Clothing (MC) segment saw a smaller decline of 4.4%, driven by reduced demand in Asia, particularly in China. The overall operating loss for the quarter was $116.5 million, compared to an operating income of $25.2 million in the previous year. The company’s restructuring expenses also increased, totaling $3.2 million for the quarter, reflecting ongoing workforce reorganizations.
In terms of strategic developments, Albany International completed the acquisition of Heimbach, a manufacturer of paper machine clothing, in August 2023. However, the company announced on October 28, 2025, that it is exploring strategic alternatives for its structures assembly business, including a potential sale of its facility in Salt Lake City. This decision comes amid ongoing discussions with customers regarding contract modifications to address rising costs.
Operationally, Albany International reported a decrease in cash and cash equivalents to $108.3 million as of September 30, 2025, down from $115.3 million at the end of 2024. The company’s total assets increased to $1.7 billion, while total liabilities rose significantly to $956.6 million, primarily due to increased long-term debt. The company’s leverage ratio stood at 1.70 to 1.00, indicating compliance with its debt covenants. Employee headcount was impacted by restructuring efforts, with the company consolidating its corporate headquarters in Portsmouth, NH, affecting approximately 100 employees.
Looking ahead, Albany International anticipates continued challenges in both segments, particularly in the AEC segment due to inflationary pressures and contract profitability adjustments. The MC segment expects to face ongoing pricing pressures and reduced demand in certain markets. The company aims to improve earnings through cost controls and productivity efficiencies while navigating the complexities of its strategic review and potential divestitures.
