Item 8.01 Other Events

Effective January 1, 2014, Albany International Corp. (the “Company) changed its business segment reporting by recasting certain expenses previously identified as Research and Unallocated expenses to existing segments. The Company has two reportable segments: Machine Clothing (MC) and Albany Engineered Composites (AEC), and had Research and Unallocated expenses that were not allocated to the segments. Research and development expenses will now be included in segment operating expenses. Prior to this change, Unallocated expenses included long-term incentive compensation for all company employees. To the extent such programs are related to MC and AEC employees, such expenses will now be included in segment operating expenses. Additionally, the segment previously referred to as Unallocated expenses, will now be referred to as Corporate expenses.

These changes are being made to be consistent with how the chief operating decision maker assesses Company performance. The purpose of this Form 8-K is to show the effect of these changes on previously reported segment operating income, research and development expenses, depreciation and amortization expenses, and Adjusted EBITDA, as detailed in Exhibit 99.1.
