ALBANY INTERNATIONAL CORP. 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, 1997. 2. Accounting for Derivatives Gains or losses on forward exchange contracts that function as an economic hedge against currency fluctuation effects on future revenue streams are recorded in "Other (income)/expense, net". Gains or losses on forward exchange contracts that are designated a hedge of a foreign operation's net assets and/or long-term intercompany loans are recorded in "Translation adjustments", a separate component of shareholders' equity. These contracts reduce the risk of currency exposure on foreign currency net assets and do not exceed the foreign currency amount being hedged. To the extent the above criteria are not met, or the related assets are sold, extinguished, or terminated, activity associated with such hedges is recorded in "Other (income)/expense, net". All open positions on forward exchange contracts are valued at fair value using the estimated forward rate of a matching contract. Gains or losses on futures contracts have been recorded in "Other (income)/expense, net". Open positions have been valued at fair value using quoted market rates. In late June 1998, the Company entered into interest rate swap transactions to hedge part of its interest rate exposure. Gains or losses on these transactions are recorded in "Interest expense, net" and unrealized gains or losses related to changes in the fair value of the contracts are not recognized. In June 1998, Financial Accounting Standard No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", was issued. This Standard establishes a new model for accounting for derivatives and hedging activities. All derivatives will be required to be recognized as either assets or liabilities and measured at fair value. Each hedging relationship must be designated and accounted for pursuant to this Standard. Since the Company already records forward exchange and futures contracts at fair value, this Standard is not expected to have a material effect on the accounting for these transactions. In accordance with this Standard, interest rate swaps that hedge interest rate exposure will be measured at fair value with the initial asset or liability recognized in "Other comprehensive income". Actual amounts paid or received on these contracts will be reclassified from "Other comprehensive income" to "Interest expense, net". The Company plans to adopt this Standard on its effective date of January 1, 2000. 4 3. Other (Income)/Expense, Net Included in other (income)/expense, net for the nine months ended September 30 are: currency transactions, $4.0 million income in 1998 and $1.7 million income in 1997; amortization of debt issuance costs and loan origination fees, $0.5 million in 1998 and $0.7 million in 1997; interest rate protection agreements, $0.7 million income in 1997; strategic planning costs, $1.3 million in 1997 and other miscellaneous (income)/expenses, none of which are significant, in 1998 and 1997. Included in other (income)/expense, net for the three months ended September 30 are: currency transactions, $3.3 million income in 1998 and $1.0 million income in 1997; amortization of debt issuance costs and loan organization fees, $0.2 million in 1998 and $0.3 million in 1997; strategic planning costs, $1.3 million in 1997 and other miscellaneous (income)/expenses, none of which are significant, in 1998 and 1997. 4. Earnings Per Share In accordance with Financial Accounting Standard No. 128, "Earnings Per Share", net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of Class A and Class B Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share includes the effect of all potentially dilutive securities. The amounts used in computing earnings per share, including the effect on income and the weighted average number of shares of potentially dilutive securities, are as follows: - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nine Months Ended Three Months Ended September 30, September 30, (in thousands) 1998 1997 1998 1997 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Income available to common stockholders: Income available to common stockholders (No adjustments needed for dilutive securities) $32,717 $35,778 $11,067 $11,424 ------- ------- ------- ------- Weighted average number of shares: Weighted average number of shares used in net income per share 30,153 31,005 29,783 31,187 Effect of dilutive securities: Stock options 446 414 265 541 --- --- --- --- Weighted average number of shares used in diluted net income per share 30,599 31,419 30,048 31,728 ------ ------ ------ ------ Options to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock at $25.5625 per share and 777,200 shares of common stock at $22.25 per share were outstanding at September 30, 1998 but were not included in the computation of diluted net income per share for the three months ended September 30, 1998 because the options' exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares for that period. The 250,000 shares were also not included in the computation for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. 5 5.

6. Income Taxes The Company's effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 was 39% and approximates the anticipated effective tax rate for the full year 1998. 7. Supplementary Cash Flow Information Interest paid for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 was $13.8 million and $11.4 million, respectively. Taxes paid for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 was $19.7 million and $16.7 million, respectively. 8. Acquisitions In January 1998, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Burwell Door Systems located in Sydney, Australia for approximately $3.4 million. In March 1998, the Company purchased all of the outstanding capital stock of Techniweave, Inc., a specialty fabricator of high performance textiles and composites. The purchase price was approximately $8.9 million with $3.3 million paid at closing and $5.6 million deferred for up to ten years. In March 1998, the Company purchased all of the outstanding capital stock of Metco Form Oy, a Finnish supplier of forming fabrics and other engineered fabrics for pulp mills and other chemical process industries. The purchase price was approximately $10.9 million. In April 1998, the Company purchased all of the outstanding capital stock of M&I Door Systems located in Barrie, Ontario, Canada for approximately $8.4 million. All of the above acquisitions were accounted for as purchases and, accordingly, the Company included in its financial statements the results of operations of the acquired entities as of the respective acquisition dates. 6 In March 1998, the Company purchased a 50% interest in SARA (Loading Bay Specialists, Ltd.), a distributor of high performance industrial doors located in England for approximately $2.0 million. This investment is being accounted for on an equity basis and is included in "Investments in Associated Companies". 9. Stock Dividends On July 3, 1998 and October 5, 1998, the Company distributed a total of 239,640 shares of Class A Common Stock and 56,286 shares of Class B Common Stock in connection with two 0.5% stock dividends. As a result of the stock dividends, additional paid-in capital was increased $4.9 million, treasury stock was reduced $2.7 million and retained earnings was decreased $7.6 million as of September 30, 1998. All references in the accompanying financial statements to the number of common shares and per-share amounts have been restated to reflect the stock dividends. 7 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis ----------------------------------- of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ------------------------------------------------ For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 1998 The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: Net sales increased to $176.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to $171.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997. The effect of the stronger U.S. dollar as compared to the third quarter of 1997 was to decrease net sales by $3.9 million. Acquisitions, as discussed below, added $7.2 million to third quarter 1998 net sales. Excluding these two factors, 1998 net sales were flat as compared to 1997. Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 increased 1.3% to $532.1 million as compared to $525.5 million for the same period in 1997. The effect of the stronger U.S. dollar as compared to the first nine months of 1997 was to decrease net sales by $17.4 million. 1998 acquisitions added $14.0 million to net sales. Excluding these two factors, 1998 net sales increased 1.9% as compared to 1997. Geographically, net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, as compared to the same period in 1997, increased slightly in the United States and decreased in Canada. Net sales in Canada were impacted by the effect of the stronger U.S. dollar and a weather related shutdown that closed manufacturing operations for about two weeks in January 1998. Asian sales were lower in 1998, as compared to 1997. European sales increased in local currencies and were up slightly in U.S. dollars. Gross profit was 41.6% of net sales for the three months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to 43.0% for the same period in 1997 bringing the nine month result to 42.5% for 1998 as compared to 42.7% for 1997. Year to date variable costs as a percent of net sales decreased to 33.6% in 1998 from 33.7% for the same period in 1997. Excluding the effect of the stronger U.S. dollar, 1998 acquisitions and the start-up of the Company's new Korean plant, as discussed below, variable costs as a percent of net sales were 32.6% in 1998. Selling, technical, general and research expenses increased 1.8%, excluding 1998 acquisitions and the new Korean plant, for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1997. Excluding the additional effect of translation of non-U.S. currencies into fewer U.S. dollars, these expenses increased 4.3% as compared to 1997. This increase was principally due to higher wages and benefit costs and the unfavorable change in the remeasurement of foreign currency transactions incurred principally in Sweden and France. Operating income as a percentage of net sales decreased to 12.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from 13.8% for the comparable period in 1997 due to items discussed above. Excluding the effect of the stronger U.S. dollar, 1998 acquisitions and the new Korean plant, operating income as a percentage of net sales was 13.4% in 1998. In October 1998, the Company announced an enhanced retirement program for certain eligible employees. Although the extent of the savings and charges expected to result from this program are not yet determinable, an announcement will be made by the end of the year. Charges against earnings in the fourth 8 quarter of 1998 will be incurred based on decisions made by employees offered the retirement incentive, plus other cost reduction steps to be formalized by the end of the year. Interest expense increased $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the same period in 1997. This increase was due to higher total debt during 1998 as a result of acquisitions and the Company's purchase of 2,458,300 shares of its own stock since November 1997. The tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 was 39.0% and approximates the anticipated effective rate for the full year 1998. In late 1997, the Company finished the construction of a new paper machine clothing plant located in Chungju, South Korea for a total cost of approximately $22 million. The first shipments to customers were made in February 1998. In January 1998, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Burwell Door Systems located in Sydney, Australia for approximately $3.4 million. In March 1998, the Company purchased all of the outstanding capital stock of Techniweave, Inc., a specialty fabricator of high performance textiles and composites. The purchase price was approximately $8.9 million with $3.3 million paid at closing and $5.6 million deferred for up to ten years. In March 1998, the Company purchased all of the outstanding capital stock of Metco Form Oy, a Finnish supplier of forming fabrics and other engineered fabrics for pulp mills and other chemical process industries. The purchase price was approximately $10.9 million. In April 1998, the Company purchased all of the outstanding capital stock of M&I Door Systems located in Barrie, Ontario, Canada for approximately $8.4 million. All of the above acquisitions were accounted for as purchases and, accordingly, the Company included in its financial statements the results of operations of the acquired entities as of the respective acquisition dates. Management does not expect these acquisitions to have a significant impact on 1998 operating results. In March 1998, the Company purchased a 50% interest in SARA (Loading Bay Specialists, Ltd.), a distributor of high performance industrial doors located in England for approximately $2.0 million. This investment is being accounted for on an equity basis and is included in "Investments in Associated Companies". Reasons for the changes in operating results for the three month period ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the corresponding period in 1997 are similar to those which affected the nine month comparisons, except where specifically noted. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES: Accounts receivable increased $5.7 million since December 31, 1997. Excluding the effect of the stronger U.S. dollar, acquisitions and the new Korean plant, accounts receivable decreased $0.9 million. Inventories increased $20.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 1998. Excluding the factors noted above, inventories increased $13.0 million. The Company is currently taking steps to reduce inventories, including reduced production schedules and short-time at some operations. 9 The Company's current debt structure provides approximately $160 million in committed and available unused debt capacity with financial institutions. Management believes that this debt capacity, in combination with informal commitments and expected free cash flows, should be sufficient to meet operating requirements and for business opportunities and most acquisitions which support corporate strategies. Capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, including leases to the extent they are required to be capitalized, were $28.5 million as compared to $39.4 million for the same period last year. The Company anticipates that capital expenditures, including leases, will be approximately $53 million for the full year and will continue to finance these expenditures with cash from operations and existing credit facilities. A cash dividend of $.105 per share, which was declared for the fourth quarter of 1997, was paid in the first quarter of 1998. The Company also declared a cash dividend of $.105 per share for the first quarter of 1998, which was paid in the second quarter of this year. On July 3, 1998 and October 5, 1998, the Company distributed 239,640 shares of Class A Common Stock and 56,286 shares of Class B Common Stock in connection with two 0.5% stock dividends. As a result of the stock dividends, additional paid-in capital was increased $4.9 million, treasury stock was reduced $2.7 million and retained earnings was decreased $7.6 million as of September 30, 1998. All references in the accompanying financial statements to the number of common shares and per-share amounts have been restated to reflect the stock dividends. In 1997, the Company began a program to assess, test and remedy its computer and manufacturing systems to assure that these systems will properly recognize the year 2000 and therefore substantially eliminate the risk of date-related computer shutdowns. The most significant area to assess under this program is the Company's business systems, which includes the Company's information system, the hardware and software associated with its network of personal computers and its telecommunications infrastructure. Most of the Company's operating units have completed the assessment phase of the program and some have already begun testing and remediation. All phases are expected to be complete by mid-1999. Currently, a company-wide implementation of a new information system is in progress. This implementation has not been accelerated as a result of the year 2000 issue. Each of the Company's operating units are at a different level of completion. In some cases, the existing system which is being replaced is not year 2000 compliant. For these systems, if the implementation of the new system is not expected to be complete by the year 2000, a contingency plan which includes upgrading the existing software or the temporary use of manual processes will be put in place. The Company does not expect any significant problems related to year 2000 compliance of its business systems. The Company's manufacturing process involves some use of computers and embedded chips in process equipment. Each operating unit has been assigned a coordinator to oversee the planning, testing and remediation of this equipment. While each operation is at a different state of readiness, all work is expected to be complete by mid-1999. While the Company does not anticipate any year 2000 related shutdowns, it expects that any problems that do occur would be isolated to one or a few operations. In these cases, production can be moved to other operations within the Company until the problems are corrected. The Company would expect to be able to remediate any undiscovered year 2000 related machinery problems within a matter of days, with no material impact on overall production. The Company depends on customers and suppliers for its daily operations. Disruptions due to year 2000 problems in their operations could have a significant impact on the Company. The Company is currently monitoring the status of its customers and suppliers to determine risks and contingency plans. 10 11 Total external costs of the year 2000 program are estimated to be $1.0 million and are expected to be funded from cash flow from operations. Of the $1.0 million, $0.3 million is for consultants, $0.5 million for hardware and $0.2 million for software. As of September 30, 1998, $0.3 million has been spent on consultants and $0.1 million has been spent on hardware. Cost estimates are being monitored and will be revised as needed. The estimates and conclusions herein contain forward-looking statements and are based on management's best estimates of future events. The risks to completing this plan include the Company's ability to discover and correct year 2000 problems within its systems and the ability of its customers and suppliers to bring their systems into year 2000 compliance. In June 1998, Financial Accounting Standard No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", was issued. This Standard establishes a new model for accounting for derivatives and hedging activities. All derivatives will be required to be recognized as either assets or liabilities and measured at fair value. Each hedging relationship must be designated and accounted for pursuant to this Standard. Since the Company already records forward exchange and futures contracts at fair value, this Standard is not expected to have a material effect on the accounting for these transactions. In accordance with this Standard, interest rate swaps, that hedge interest rate exposure, will be measured at fair value with the initial asset or liability recognized in "Other comprehensive income". Actual amounts paid or received on these contracts will be reclassified from "Other comprehensive income" to "Interest expense, net". The Company plans to adopt this Standard on its effective date of January 1, 2000. 11 Part II - Other Information Item 6.
