As previously announced, Lydall, Inc. (the “Company”) will be hosting a virtual Investor Day on December 9, 2020, during which members of the Company’s management team will make presentations regarding the Company, its historical and future business activities, strategies, markets, financial performance and other topics relevant to its business.

On December 9, 2020, the Company posted a copy of the slides management will refer to during its Investor Day presentation to the “Investor Relations” section of its Internet website (ir.lydall.com). A copy of the presentation slides is also furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1

The Investor Day presentation can be accessed directly by registering at the following link: https://primetime.bluejeans.com/a2m/register/xffprpvc. The video presentation will also be posted to Lydall’s Investor Relations Internet website (ir.lydall.com) and will be available following the event.

The information included in the presentation includes financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP measures in its analysis of the Company’s performance. The Company believes that the presentation of certain non-GAAP measures provides useful supplemental information that is helpful in understanding the operating results of the Company. These non-GAAP disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to similarly-titled non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.

The information in this Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished under Item 7.01 and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of such section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing. The investor presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. These statements are based on the Company’s expectations and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the statements. These risks are discussed in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including an extensive discussion of these risks in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, and in subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

A copy of the presentation is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1
