Q2 FY26 earnings call · Aug 4, 2026TL;DR. Albany's Q2 saw record Engineered Composites revenue of $150.8M and consolidated adjusted EBITDA of $57.8M, the strongest in two years, even as Machine Clothing softness led the company to lower full-year Machine Clothing revenue guidance. Subsequently, Albany ended its Salt Lake City strategic review by retaining the facility under an amended CH-53K contract, reversed a portion of the CH-53K forward-loss reserve, and sharply raised Q3 2026 adjusted EPS guidance from $0.60–$0.70 to $1.40–$1.50.
- + Engineered Composites posted record quarterly revenue of $150.8M, up 16% year-over-year, on a 13.3% adjusted EBITDA margin.
- + Consolidated adjusted EBITDA of $57.8M marked the strongest result in the past two years on a 17.6% margin.
- + The Salt Lake City strategic review concluded with retention of the facility under an amended CH-53K contract that reduces program risk and generates positive cash flow beginning in 2027.
- + Albany reversed a portion of the CH-53K reach-forward loss reserve previously recognized in Q3 2025.
- + Q3 2026 adjusted EPS guidance was raised sharply from $0.60–$0.70 to $1.40–$1.50, with revenue and segment outlooks unchanged.
- − Full-year Machine Clothing revenue is now expected to be slightly down versus 2025 on softer Americas demand and customer consolidation.
- − Q2 Machine Clothing revenue of $178.7M was modestly below plan due to additional downtime tied to a machine being replaced.
- − Q2 Engineered Composites revenue trailed the forecast range because tooling for a next-generation defense prime contract slipped into the second half.
- − Q2 free cash flow was a net use of $14.5M versus a $17.8M inflow last year, reflecting working-capital build to support the ramp.

Capital returns
Dividends per share over the trailing 365 days by ex-date · buyback figures as last reported in SEC filings ("spent" derived as authorized − remaining; when several programs run concurrently, authorized is their combined total per the newest filing) · components shown separately — trailing-year buyback spend isn't tracked, so no combined shareholder yield is derived.
