has made us the largest,
most diversified food and
beverage company in the.
United'States. Kraft and
General Foods introduced
more than 250 new prm¢-
ucts and packings '
between them in 1988. This
exemplifies the attention to
the marketplace and the
needs of consumers that
exists in ourcompanies,
The challenge we now face
is managjng the integration
of facilities, distribution
systems, and product lines
so thatwe may bestreatizet our full: Accordingly, we an-
nounced the formation

tively not only in the U.S:,
butalso in the growing
global! marketplace.

unsatisfactory year. Initia-
tives taken toimproue cof:
fee pricing,and margins in

Management's Dis+cwssio'n and Analyrsis of
Financial Condition and Reswlts of Operations
Op.rstft Rasult*
The company's financial services and real estate subsidiaries,
previously accounted for by the equitymethod, have been consoli-
dated in 1988 in accordance with Statement oflFinancial Account-
ing Standards Na, 94, "Consolidation of All Majority-ownedl
Subsidiaries:"'P>ior years' amounts have been restated tolconform
with the current year's presentation, which restatement had no
effect on previously reported net earnings ocearnings per share.
198$'CoFnpared with 1987
Operating,revenues for 1988'increased b'3;6 billion (12.696) and
operating profit; as defined for segment reporting (operating,
income excluding unallocated corporate expenses), increased
$438 million (10.546)L All business segments had increased oper-
atingrevenues and all business segments except food lhad
increased operating profit.
The company's 1988 results incliade restructuring costs at
General Foods. The charges relate to a plant closing and consolida~
tionof manufacturing facilities, early retirement programs and
other overhead cost reductions, all of which are expected to
improve cost efficiencies. This restructuring reduced earnings
before income taxes and cumulative effect of accounting,change,
net earnings and earnings pershare by$348'millionS2'12 million
andiS'.911 respectively.
In 1987, the companyrecorded'a pre-tax charge of $117'million
related to a restructuring! of General Foods, partially offset by a pre-
tax gain of S46 million from the sale of the Open Pit barbecue
sauce retail business. These items reduced 1987 earnings before
income taxes, net earnings and earnings per share by $71 million,
$22 millionand $.09, respectively.
On December 7,1988, Krafti Inc. became a~wholly-owned sub-
sidiary of the company Consolidated results of the company
include the operating,results of Kraft since acquisition. The net
effect on the company's 1988'consolidated net earnings of'Kraft's
income contribution after goodwill amortization and the cost of
acquisition financing was a dilution of approximately $.12 per
share. The cost of the acquisition, including retirement of
employee stock options and other payments, totaled'approximately
$12.9'billion The acquisitionof,Kraft was financed by internal
funds andlapproximately $9.6 billion of debtand resulted in
approximately $11.6 billion of goodwill.
Interest and other debt expense, net, increased $24 millionin~
1988 compared with 1987: The increase was due primarily to inter-
estionidebtassociated with the purchase of~Kraft (approximately
$68'.million), partiallyoffset by lower interest expense throughout
the year prior, to the Kraft acquisition, as well as higher interest
income earned on cash balances ($27 million),. Interest expense
prior to the acquisition of Kraftwas lower by approximately $10
million in 1'988'due primarily to lower average amounts of out-
standing debt, partially offset by higher interest rates. The com-
pany's ratio.of earnings to fixed charges was 5:2 in 1988 compared
with 5.0 in 19'87'and 4.0 in 1986. This ratio is expected too
decrease in 1989 as a result of the interest associatediwith the pur-
chase of Kraft.
In the fourth quarter, the company adopted retroactive to Janu-
ary 1,1988 the method lof accounting for income taxes prescribed
byStatemenfiof'Financial Accounting,Standards No. 96; "Account-
ing,forincome'ILLxes,"'Arcordingly thecompany has changed its
method of computing income taxes from the deferred method
usedlin prioryears to the method prescribed by SFAS'9F,. SFAS'96
increased 1988 net earnings and eamings pershare by $213 million,
and $.91, respectively. Prioryears' data have not been restated!
(See Note 10 to the 1988 Consolidated Financial'Statements for
further details.).
The company's effective tax rate in 1988 was 44.696, compared
with 44!9% in 1987, The rate didlnotdecrease in line with the
reduction in the U.S. corporate income tax rate, due to the reversal
during 1988 oflexcess deferred tax benefits recorded as of January.
1, 1988 in ~accordance with SFAS 96 and higher provisions for the
repatriation oflforeignearnings.
Net earnings increased ini1988 by $495 million (26:990), due
principally to increasedloperating profiti ($4'38'million) and the
cumulative effeaof a change in the method of accounting for
income taxes, partially offset by a higher income tax provision
($161 million). The 2'9:498 increase in earnings per share exceededl
the percentage increase in net earnings due to a loweraverager number of outstanding shares of
common stock in 1988! The per-
centage increases in 1988 should not be considered indicative of
future earnings growth as the acquisition of 1Graft will have.a dilu-
tive effectoveothe next several years.
1987 C'ompared with 1986
Operating,revenues for 1987 increased $2.3 billion (8'.99b)iand
operating profit' increased $489 million (1314'46). The increases
were due pnncipally to tobacco operations, which had increases
imoperating revenuesand operating profit of$2.0 billion and
$442 million, respectively.
The company's effective tax rate in 1987 was 44.9%, compared
with 46.5% in1986: The decrease resulted primarilyfrorn reduc-
tion in the U.S. corporate income tax rate, partially offset by a.
$56 million increase in the provisions for: the repatriation of foreign
earnings.
In 1987nonrecurring items.consisted of'a $1117, millionpre-tax

in 1988 and'1987; respectively. Operating profit of food operations

Operating revenues and operating profit in 1988 increased $1.9 bil-
lion1(13.3%) and $556 million (16.9%); respectively, over 1987:

rency translation (E379'million) in Philip Morris International. The
increase in operating profit of tobacco operations was due princi-
palhyto higher gross profit ($1.2 billion), approximately 70%' of '

were higher marketingadministration and!research costs ($674

operations increased $2.0 billion.(15.496) and $442 million(15396)
over 1986, respectively. The increase in operating revenues was
due primarilyto price increases in Philip Morris USA. ($490
million) and to volume growth ($556 million) and currency
translation ($791 rnillion);in Philip Morns International. The
increase in operating profit of tobacco operations was due
principally to higher gross profit ($922 million), resulting primarily
from price increases ($528 million), currency translation ($206

higher marketing, administration and research costs ($4'83'million,

The higher operating revenues in 1388'were due primarily to.the
inclusion ofloperating,results of Kraft since acquisition (62%of the
total increase)to higher unitvolume in General Foods' major lines
of'business and to currency translation ($165 million). General
Foods had unit volume increases in its bakerybusiness (due
primarily to the acquisition oflThe Charles Freihofer Baking Com=
panyin November1987) andibeverage andlfroxen food operations,
while unitvoliume decreased in dty grocery products (due
primarily to the sale in September 1987 of the Open Pit barbecue
sauce retail business). Domestic coffeeoperations had both pricee
and'volume decreases. Oscar Mayer Foods had increased unit
volume in allibrands. Internationally, operating revenues increased
due to currency translation and higher unit volume (related
primarily to acquisitions made in 1987).
Food operating profit decreasedl$213 million 05'.146) due
primarily to higher restructuring charges ($277 million). Higher
gross profit of $455 million was partially offset by increases in
marketing, administration and research costs of $378'mill!ion, the
largest portion of which was incremental marketing costs associ-
ated with Maxwell House's successful effort to recapture market
share. Excluding the restructuring items in 1988'and in 1987;,
food operating profit wouldhave increased approximately 9.5%.

$821lrnillion and operating,profit of $'58'million since acquisition.
Ini1987; food operating revenues increased $282 million (2:996):
The increase in operating revenues in 1987 was due primarily to
higher unitvolume in major lines of business, except domestic
coffee, and to currency translationi partially offset by coffee price
decreases. General Foods had'unit volume increases in its
breakfast foods, bakery and desserts operations, while unit volume
in beverages and meals remained flat. Domestic coffee prices weree
adversely affected by lower green ~cof fee bean prices throughout
the year. Oscar Mayer Foods had unit volume increases in both
Louis Rich and Oscar Mayerbrands: Internationally, operatingg
revenues increased due to currency translation and to increased
unit volume.

primarily to higher marketing, administration and research costs in,
1987 ($4T7 million) and1restructumng costs in,1987 ($7,1 million),
which more than ol'fseChighergross profit($449'anillion). Higher
marketing;expenses resulted primarily from trade spending for
coffee associated witht'he competitive environment resulting from
lower,green coffee bean prices. Excluding the restructuring costs
in 1987, operating profit would have increased approximately 6%.
