Albany International reviews structures business after $147 million CH-53K loss reserve

Negative Impact 4 of 5 restructuring Written later

Albany International said it is exploring strategic alternatives for its structures assembly business, including a possible sale of all or part of the Salt Lake City facility. It also expects to record an approximately $147 million loss reserve adjustment in the third quarter of 2025, tied mainly to the CH-53K fixed-price contract, and said that without contract changes there is no path to profitability on the program as originally bid. The charge and the possible exit weigh on shareholders, while the company is in talks with its customer about contract modifications.

Key points

  • Approximately $147 million loss reserve adjustment expected in the third quarter of 2025, related to the CH-53K contract
  • Structures assembly is the only such program in the AEC segment; the site generated approximately $130 million of revenue, after EAC charges, for the twelve months ended September 30, 2025
  • Company is in ongoing discussions with its customer about potential contract modifications to offset cost increases
  • Third-quarter 2025 results are scheduled for release after market close on November 5, 2025, with a conference call and webcast on November 6, 2025
