NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Management Opinion
In the opinion of management the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal,
recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of results for such
periods. The results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of
results for the full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been omitted. These consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with financial statements and notes
thereto for the year ended December 31, 1993.
2. Other Expense/(Income), Net
Included in other expense/(income), net for the nine months ended September
30 are: currency transactions, $.2 million income in 1994 and $3.5 million
income in 1993, pre-receivable sale, $.2 million income in 1994 and $1.4 million
expense in 1993, amortization of debt issuance costs and loan origination fees,
$.8 million in 1994 and $.6 million in 1993, interest rate protection
agreements, $.6 million income in 1994 and $.1 million expense in 1993 and other
miscellaneous expenses/(income), none of which are significant, in 1994 and
1993.
Included in other expense/(income), net for the three months ended
September 30 are: currency transactions, $1.1 million income in 1993, pre-
receivable sale $.4 million expense in 1993, amortization of debt issuance costs
and loan origination fees, $.2 million in 1994 and $.1 million in 1993, interest
rate protection agreements, $.3 million income in 1994 and other miscellaneous
expenses/(income), none of which are significant, in 1994 and 1993.
3. Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share on common stock are computed using the weighted average
number of shares of Class A and Class B Common Stock outstanding during each
year. Options granted under the Company's stock option plans were not dilutive
at September 30, 1994 and 1993. The convertible subordinated debentures are not
common stock equivalents and will not affect primary earnings per share.
Further, the convertible subordinated debentures were not dilutive at September
30, 1994 and 1993.
4. Income Taxes
The Company's effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30,
1994 was 43.0% as compared to 39.4% for the same period last year and
approximates the anticipated effective tax rate for the full year 1994. The
increase is due principally to the accrual of net charges associated with prior
years resulting from both U.S. and non-U.S. examinations.
4
5. Debt
The Company has an agreement under which it may sell to a financial
institution up to $40 million of the Company's right to receive certain payments
for goods ordered from the Company. At September 30, there were no amounts sold
under this agreement as compared to $12.0 million at December 31, 1993. At
December 31, 1993, this transaction had the effect of reducing long-term debt
$12.0 million, reducing accounts receivable $5.4 million and increasing accrued
liabilities $6.6 million.
6. Supplementary Cash Flow Information
Interest paid for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993 was
$14.4 million and $11.9 million, respectively.
Taxes paid for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993 were $17.9
million and $2.0 million, respectively.
7. Acquisition
In February 1994, the Company exchanged its 40% equity interests in Brazil
and Argentina for the remaining 60% interest in Mexico. The transaction was
accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, the Company has included the
results of operations in its financial statements as of January 1, 1994.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1994
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying
Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 1994 increased $19.5 million
or 15.6% compared to the same period in 1993. The weaker U.S. dollar during
the quarter as compared to 1993 increased net sales by $4.2 million. Excluding
this effect, net sales were 12.2% above third quarter 1993.
The third quarter sales growth rate remained strong in the Nordic region and
sales in Continental Europe began improving for the first time in this economic
cycle. Canadian sales increased due principally to improved economic and paper
industry operating conditions. Sales in North America increased even though
selective price concessions for customers entering into Continuous Supply
agreements for the Company's products tended to reduce net selling prices.
Management believes that Continuous Supply agreements are part of an effort by
paper companies to reduce the number of suppliers of paper machine clothing and
that this ultimately will be beneficial to Albany International shareholders.
Net sales increased $3.9 million or .9% for the nine months ended September 30,
1994 compared with the same period in 1993. Net sales were reduced by $2.1
million from the effect of a stronger U.S. dollar as compared to the first nine
months of 1993 and by $20.5 million resulting from the divestiture of the
Company's equipment division (AES) in mid-1993. Excluding these factors, net
sales for the nine months were 6.8% above 1993. In comparison, 1994 net sales
increased 3.9% in the first half of 1994 and 12.2% in the third quarter of 1994
as compared to the same period last year.
The Company continues to gain market share in Forming Fabrics and Dryer Fabrics
and to retain its Press Fabric market share. While there have not been any
significant price increases in 1994, except for new products and upgrades, some
of the Company's customers have increased prices, particularly in the kraft and
pulp grades, and this could result in better pricing for paper machine clothing
in 1995.
Gross profit continued to improve and was 39.8% of net sales for the three
months ended September 30, 1994 as compared to 37.3% for the same period in 1993
increasing the nine month result to 39.1% for 1994 as compared to 36.2% for
1993. Year to date variable costs as a percent of net sales decreased to 32.7%
in 1994 from 34.4% in 1993. The improvement is due mainly to plant closings and
workforce reductions, principally in Europe, and the divestiture of AES in June
1993. In addition, the Company's Total Quality Assurance program has resulted
in improved product quality and efficiencies, both of which have contributed to
lower costs.
Selling, technical and general expenses increased $6.6 million or 18.5% for the
three months ended September 30, 1994 as compared to the same period last year.
Included in this amount were temporary increases associated with the development
of a new Press Fabric product and consulting fees associated with the Company's
restructuring efforts. In addition, exchange losses on trade receivables,
principally in Europe, added to the increased costs. The Company anticipates
some impact from the above items during the fourth quarter but to a much lesser
degree.
6
Selling, technical and general expenses increased 2.1% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1994 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1993.
Translation of non-U.S. currencies into U.S. dollars decreased reported amounts
by $.8 million due to the stronger U.S. dollar while the divestiture of AES
reduced these costs by $6.6 million. Excluding these factors, expenses
increased 8.8%. The Company has not reduced its sales and service efforts as
there is increasing customer demand for service. Management anticipates that
this demand will continue to increase as customers reduce the number of
suppliers.
Operating income as a percent of net sales increased to 9.6% for the nine months
ended September 30, 1994 from 6.9% for the comparable period in 1993 and
increased to 10.3% for the three months ended September 30, 1994 as compared to
8.4% for the same period last year due principally to factors described above.
Management is continuing to review capacity requirements with the intention of
further reducing costs and streamlining operations and anticipates that
operating income as a percent of net sales should continue to improve during the
rest of 1994 and into 1995.
The decrease in other expense/(income), net was due to currency transactions
which resulted in $3.3 million less income for the nine months ended
September 30, 1994 as compared to the same period in 1993, no pre-receivable
sales in 1994 which resulted in $1.6 million less expense in 1994 as compared
to 1993 and interest rate protection income of $.6 million in 1994 as compared
to $.1 million expense in 1993.
The tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 is 43.0% as compared
to 39.4% for the comparable period in 1993 and approximates the anticipated
effective rate for the full year 1994. The rate increase is due principally to
the accrual of net charges associated with prior years resulting from both U. S.
and non-U. S. examinations.
During February 1994 the Company exchanged its 40% equity interests in Brazil
and Argentina for the remaining 60% interest in Mexico. The transaction was
accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, the Company has included the
results of operations in its financial statements as of January 1, 1994.
Reported results of Mexico were not significant. The Company's only remaining
equity interest is a 50% partnership in South Africa.
Reasons for changes in the results of operations for the three month period
ended September 30, 1994 as compared to the corresponding period in 1993 are
similar to those which affected the nine month comparisons, except where
specifically noted.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:
The weakening U. S. dollar during the first nine months of 1994 and the purchase
of the remaining Mexican equity interest (discussed above) increased accounts
receivable by $8.7 million and increased inventories by $7.5 million. In
addition, no accounts receivable were sold at September 30, 1994 as compared to
$ 5.4 million sold at December 31, 1993. A significant portion of the increase
in accounts receivable resulted from sales in September. During 1994, the
Company implemented Continuous Supply programs with a number of paper
manufacturers. These relationships require the Company rather than the customer
to carry inventory and provide just in time sourcing to the customers mill.
This has resulted in increased inventories and may result in additional
increases in the near term but should result in more predictable requirements
and lower inventory levels and increased sales in the long term. Management
does not expect to see any significant reductions in inventory until the first
quarter of 1995.
The Company has an agreement under which it may sell to a financial institution
up to $40 million of the Company's right to receive certain payments for goods
ordered from the Company. At September 30, 1994,
7
there were no amounts sold under this agreement as compared to $12.0 million at
December 31,1993. At December 31, 1993 this transaction reduced long-term debt
by $12.0 million, reduced accounts receivable by $5.4 million and increased
accrued liabilities by $6.6 million.
Total debt at September 30, 1994 is $263.3 million as compared to $220.1 million
at December 31, 1993. The increase is due primarily to the increase in accounts
receivable and inventories which total $39.4 million. Management does not
anticipate any significant reductions in working capital requirements in the
short term.
Capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 were $30.3
million as compared to $20.0 million for the same period last year. The Company
anticipates that capital expenditures for the full year will be $39 million.
The Company will finance these expenditures with cash from operations and
existing credit facilities.
Cash dividends of $.0875 per share, were paid in the first three quarters of
1994 and were related to the fourth quarter of 1993 and the first two quarters
of 1994. The Company also declared a cash dividend of $.0875 per share for the
third quarter of 1994 which will be paid in the fourth quarter of this year.
