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.

- + Q3 2026 adjusted EPS guidance was raised sharply from $0.60–$0.70 to $1.40–$1.50, with revenue and segment outlooks unchanged.

- − 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.
