Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of results for such periods. Albany International Corp. (Albany, the Registrant, the Company, we, us, or our) consolidates the financial results of its subsidiaries for all periods presented. The results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in Albany International Corp.’s Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with “Risk Factors,” “Legal Proceedings,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation,” “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” and the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in Items 1A, 3, 7, 7A and 8, respectively, of the Albany International Corp. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. Certain quarterly results for 2018 contained within this report have been revised to correct immaterial errors, as described in Note 24 of Item 8 in that same Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted the provisions of ASC 842, Leases, using the effective date approach for transition as discussed in Note 3, Leases. Accounting policies have been applied consistently to periods presented, except for the application of ASC 842, as further described in Note 3.
