About this update from Albany International Corporation

Albany International Corp. (NYSE:AIN) today reported operating results for its second quarter of 2026, which ended June 30, 2026. Gunnar Kleveland, Albany International’s President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Our second-quarter performance delivered the strongest Adjusted EBITDA we have achieved in the past two years and grew 11.5% year-over-year, despite modestly lower-than-expected revenue due to several discrete factors. This result reflects the progress we have made to build a more nimble company and underscores the strength of our operating model, our focus on profitable growth, and the dedication of the Albany team."
