Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


To the Plan Participants and Plan Administrator of Albany International Corp Prosperity Plus Savings Plan:

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of Albany International Corp. Prosperity Plus Savings Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Plan in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Accompanying Supplemental Information

The supplemental information in the accompanying Schedule H, line 4i – schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2020, has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Plan’s financial statements. The supplemental information is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and
1


performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental information. In forming our opinion on the supplemental information, we evaluated whether the supplemental information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In our opinion, the supplemental information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

1.    Description of Plan

The following description of the Albany International Corp. (the “Company”) Prosperity Plus Savings Plan (the “Plan”) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.

General
The Plan is a defined contribution plan and is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). The Plan covers all domestic employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, except those covered by a collective bargaining agreement that does not provide for participation in the Plan, temporary employees, leased employees, contractors, interns and co-op students. Eligible employees hired on or after January 1, 2009, automatically become participants in the Plan for purposes of making Pre-Tax Participant Contributions, unless otherwise elected by the participant.

Contributions
Participants may make voluntary contributions to the Plan, that do not exceed the greater of 100% of the Participant’s Compensation, subject to certain limitations, on a before-tax and/or after-tax basis as defined in the Plan. Participants may also contribute amounts representing distributions from other qualified defined benefit or defined contribution plans. Participants direct the investment of their contributions, as well as the employer contributions, into various investment options offered by the Plan. The Plan currently offers various investment options including registered investment companies, common stock, common collective trusts, and a participant directed brokerage option. The Company makes a matching contribution to the Plan up to 5% of the participant’s eligible compensation, which is comprised of a 100% match of the first 4% of compensation contributed by a participant and a 50% match of the next 2% of compensation contributed by a participant.

Discretionary Matching Contributions
The plan allows for discretionary matching contributions. The Company uses such discretion to provide profit sharing contributions to eligible plan participants. Such contributions are based on Company performance and vary from year to year and contributions are generally made in the first quarter following the Company’s fiscal year end. Discretionary matching contributions are based upon a minimum 1% employee participation in the Plan and are in addition to, and separate from, Company non-discretionary matching contributions. In order to receive a discretionary matching contribution, an employee must be an active contributing participant in the Plan on the last day of the year for which the discretionary matching contribution is made. If an employee is eligible, yet chooses to participate for less than a full year, the discretionary matching contribution will be pro-rated. The Company’s discretionary matching contribution is in the form of cash and was $3,817,366 and $3,726,306 for the years

Albany International Corp.
Prosperity Plus Savings Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2020 and 2019
ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Discretionary matching contributions are reported as Employer Contributions within the Statements of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits.

Participant Accounts
Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contribution and allocations of (a) the Company’s contributions and (b) Plan earnings. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined in the Plan. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account.

Notes Receivable from Participants
Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000, minus the participant’s highest outstanding note balance over the last 12 months, or 50% of their account balance. Interest rates on notes are determined by the Compensation Committee from time to time with the rate remaining constant throughout the life of the note (rates, which are calculated as prime rate plus 1%, range between 4.25% and 10.25% at December 31, 2020 and 2019). Notes are to be repaid through payroll deductions, although they may be repaid in a lump sum amount, generally over a period from 1 to 5 years except for notes for the purchase of a primary residence, which range from 1 to 20 years.

Vesting
Participants are vested immediately in their and the Company’s contributions plus actual earnings thereon.

Payment of Benefits
Upon termination of service, total disability, death or retirement, participants have the option to receive an amount equal to the value of their accounts in a lump sum payment or, in the case of total disability or retirement, monthly installments over a period not to exceed 15 years. Participants may also elect prior to retirement to withdraw up to 100% of their after-tax contributions and up to 100% of before-tax contributions if the Internal Revenue Service’s criteria for “financial hardship” are met.

Plan Termination
The Company intends to continue the Plan indefinitely but reserves the right to modify, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan. In the event of plan termination, distributions would be allocated based on the value of the participant accounts.

Administrative Costs
Certain direct costs incurred in administering the Plan are borne by the Company. The Company paid Plan administrative expenses of $141,151 and $150,922 during 2020 and 2019, respectively, which principally consisted of plan fiduciary services. Expenses paid by the Plan included investment advisory fees, and securities brokerage fees.

2.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting
The financial statements of the Plan are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires Plan management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits and the reported amounts of changes in net assets during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Risks and Uncertainties
The Plan provides for various investment options in any combination of stocks, common collective trusts, registered investment companies and other investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Market disruptions can adversely affect investment and thus investment securities performance. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks in the near term would materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits.

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
Plan investments are reported at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Plan’s Investment Committee determines the Plan’s valuation policies utilizing information provided by the investment advisers and custodians. See Note 3 for discussion of fair value measurements.

Security transactions are recorded on a trade-date basis. Gains or losses on sales of securities are based on average cost.

Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends declared by the Board of Directors of the Company on Albany International Corp. Class A common stock may be reinvested in the Plan or received as a cash distribution as elected by the participant. Total cash dividends received by participants were $247,300 and $259,408 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Interest income is recorded as earned.

7

Albany International Corp.
Prosperity Plus Savings Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2020 and 2019

The Plan presents in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits the net appreciation/depreciation in the fair value of its investments, which consists of realized gains and losses and unrealized appreciation/depreciation on those investments.

Payment of Benefits
Benefit payments are recorded when paid.

Notes Receivable from Participants
Notes receivable from participants are measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Fees related to participant loans are paid by the participants. No allowance for credit losses has been recorded as of December 31, 2020 or 2019. Delinquent participant loans are recorded as deemed distributions on the basis of the terms of the Plan agreement.

Expenses
Certain expenses of maintaining the Plan are paid directly by the Company and are excluded from these financial statements. Fees charged by fund managers are included in net appreciation/ depreciation of fair value of investments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has not adopted any recent accounting pronouncements that had a significant effect on these financial statements.

Subsequent Events
Management considers events or transactions that occur after the date of the statement of net assets available for benefits, but before the financial statements are issued, to provide additional evidence relative to certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosure. Subsequent events have been evaluated through the date the financial statements were available for issuance.

In May 2021, the Company decided to remove the Albany International Stock Fund as an investment option effective February 2023. Any participant balances in that fund at that time will be converted to other investments as directed by investment selections of the participants, or to a qualified default investment alternative, if applicable.


3.    Fair Value Measurements

The Fair Value Measurement topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification provides the framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides for a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active
8

Albany International Corp.
Prosperity Plus Savings Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2020 and 2019
markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:

Level 1     Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for                 
identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Plan has the ability     
to access.


Level 2     Inputs include:
quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
quoted prices for identical assets or similar assets or liabilities in         
inactive markets;
inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset
and liability;
inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by
observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3     Inputs are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.     
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include
situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or
liability. The unobservable inputs reflect the Plan’s own assumptions about
the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or
liability.

The asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for investments measured at fair value.

Investments in registered investment companies are valued using the quoted sales price on the last business day of the year, which represents the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year-end.

Common stock, preferred stock, and other self-directed brokerage accounts (exchange traded funds, closed-end funds, and mutual funds) are valued using active markets at the latest quoted sales price on the last business day of the year on its principal exchange.

Investments in common collective trust (CCT) funds are investment vehicles valued using the net asset values (NAV) provided by fund managers. The NAV is the total value of the fund divided by the number of shares outstanding and is based on the fair value of underlying investments held by the CCT funds. CCT fund’s are traded at NAV,
9

Albany International Corp.
Prosperity Plus Savings Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2020 and 2019
determined daily or monthly, and are categorized as Level 2 because the NAV’s, although readily determinable, are not published on an active exchange nor publicly available. Participant transactions (purchases and sales) may occur daily. Were the Plan to initiate a full redemption of the CCT funds, the investment adviser reserves the right to temporarily delay withdrawal from the trust in order to ensure that securities liquidations will be carried out in an orderly business manner. There are no penalties or restrictions for withdrawing assets from the CCT funds at any time.

The following table sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Plan’s assets at fair value as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.

4.    Related Party and Party in Interest Transactions

The Plan invests in shares of mutual funds (including the Vanguard brokerage option) managed by an affiliate of Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company (“VFTC”). VFTC acts as trustee for the investments held by the Plan. The Plan also invests in shares of the Plan Sponsor’s Albany International Class A common stock. The Plan purchased $375,275 and $262,831 and sold $4,014,396 and $4,026,827 of Albany International Class A common stock during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Transactions in such investments qualify as party-in-interest transactions, which are exempt from the prohibited transaction rules. Participant loans also qualify as party-in-interest transactions.

5.    Tax Status

The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a letter dated November 21, 2016, that the Plan is qualified and the trust established under the Plan is tax-exempt, under the appropriate sections of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. However, management and ERISA counsel believes that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code. Therefore, the Plan administrator believes that the Plan was qualified and the related trust was tax-exempt as of the financial statement date.

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability if the organization has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The Plan administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.


6.    Reconciliation of Financial Statements to Form 5500

In certain circumstances, Notes receivable from participants that are in default continue to be treated on the financial statements as notes receivable, but are treated on Form 5500 as deemed distributions, which are considered taxable distributions from the Plan.

A reconciliation of total investments per the financial statements at December 31, 2020 and 2019 to the annual report filed on Form 5500, Schedule H as required by the Department of Labor follows.
