Dear Stockholder:
Your company-is continuing its solid growth in a rapidly and radically ~ changing world.
Political and economic developments are creating new opportunities for us. The borderless Euro-
pean Community planned for 1992, together with Eastern European countries now experimenting
with free market systems, will constitute a larger market than North America.
We are well positioned to prosper from these changes. We have had a major international tobacco
presence for more than 20 years. We have been the largest cigarette company in Europe since 1983,
and in 1990 we widened our lead.
We took an important step to strengthen our competitiveness in European food markets by acquir-
ing Jacobs Suchard AG, a Swiss-based coffee and confectionery company. This $4.1 billion purchase
makes us the third-largest food company in Europe, and brings us brands and distribution channels
in countries where we needed to broaden our business.
The consolidation of European markets is not the only key to our growth.
Although the cigarette market in the United States is declining slightly, we continue to gain volume
and share. Our business in Asian cigarette markets, particularly Japan, is building rapidly. And in
September 1990, we reached a major agreement to export cigarettes to the Russian Republic, the
largest republic in the world's third-largest cigarette market-the Soviet Union. Both developments
add impetus to the continued expansion of our international tobacco operations.
We are devoting ever increasing resources to the building of our food businesses. By pooling the
research and talents of people in different parts of Kraft General Foods and applying them to a
shared
challenge, weaccelerated the introduction of fat free foods in seven categories this past year. We
have announced introductions in still more categories in 1991.
In 1990, we increased our dividend by 25.1%, to an annualized rate of $1.72 per share, marking the
23rd consecutive year of dividend increases. Through our stock repurchase program, we spent $221
million in 1990 to repurchase Philip Morris common stock, at an average price of $38.88 per share.
1990 Results
Consolidated operating revenues of $51.2 billion were 16.1% higher than in 1989. Our 1990 perfor-
mance includes operating results from Jacobs Suchard since its acquisition.
Our operating companies income grew 22.1% to $8.7 billion. Net earnings were $3.5 billion, up

20.2%, and net earnings per share reached
$3.83, 20.4% higher than in 1989.
Our tobacco operations enjoyed continued
sales and profit growth. We sold one billion
more cigarettes in the United States in 1990 than
in 1989, while U.S. industry volume, based on
shipments, declined 1.8 billion units. Outside the
United States, we sold 368.1 billion units. 15.5%
more than in 1989, bringing our tobacco factory
utilization rates around the world close to full
capacity.
At Kraft General Foods. volume grew by 6.5%
for the year. Excluding Jacobs Suchard, volume
grew by 3.3%, while revenues and operating
companies income continued to grow strqrigly,
and operating margins also improved. Including
a full year of 1990 Jacobs Suchard results on a pro forma basis. our food companies -vvould have
con-
tributed approximatelv 52%t of our revenues and 31% of our operating companies income, while
employing 66°10 of our work force.
Miller Brewing Companti volume was up b' v 1.6 million barrels, or 3.8%, and operating companies
income advanced b' v 26°b. Five Years of steady growth. fueled by successful new product introduc-
tions, have helped Miller build its position as a major competitor in the consolidating beer
industry.
!l9anagement and Board of Directors

New York, FSB, joined the Philip Morris Board of Directors.

Social and Legislative Issues
We market more than 3,000 products to millions of consumers around the world. Our activities
involve us in a host of public policy issues in every country in which we do business.
Among all these social issues, the relationship between smoking and health is the most controver-
sial. We have acknowledged that smoking is a risk factor in the development of lung cancer and
certain other human diseases, because a statistical relationship exists between smoking and the
occurrence of those diseases. Accordingly, we insist that the decision to smoke, like many other
life-
style decisions, should be made by informed adults. We believe that smokers around the world are
well aware of the potential risks associated with tobacco use, and have the knowledge necessary to
make an informed decision. _
The U.S. cigarette industry is both mature and highly competitive. Outside the U.S., most ciga-
rettes are made and sold by government-owned enterprises; we are competing-for instance-
against the elected governments of Japan, Italy, and France. Our competitors throughout the world
are just as eager to attract our customers as we are to attract theirs. It is against this
competitive
background that we engage in marketing programs designed to persuade existing smokers to use
our brands. We believe that such programs affect brand choices, but not the decision to smoke.
Many experts and studies - including those cited by the U.S. Surgeon General and the U.S. Environ-
mental Protection Agency- remain divided over the relationship between environmental tobacco
smoke and human health. We favor policies which accommodate and, if necessary, segregate non-
smokers and smokers in the workplace and in confined public spaces. We do not believe that the
prohibition or unreasonable regulation of cigarette use in such places is justified, and we will,
there-
fore, continue to oppose such proposals.
Cigarette product liability is the most publicized legal issue we face. By the end of 1990, the num-
ber of product liability cases pending against the U.S. cigarette industry dropped to 51, continuing
a
decline from a peak of 151 in 1986. We view this trend as a positive development for both your com-
pany and the U.S. tobacco industry.
The Outlook
c)ur goal is to be the world's mostt successful consumer packaged products company. We will con-
tinue to judge that success not only against our own past performance but against that of our
competitors. Moreover, we will measure success not merely in terms of income and volume growth
and in overall returns to our stockholders; we also aim to be the best in anticipating and providing
for the needs of our consumers and customers and in accepting and fulfilling our responsibilities to
the communities in which we live and work and to the environment in general.
No company can take these for granted. The war in the Persian Gulf, together with slowing eco-
nomic growth in many countries, added to the risks and uncertaintigs of doing business. Fortunately,
our products are consumer staples, and our businesses are relatively resilient.
a6 improve our effectiveness in each of our core businesses, we will continue to expand and fill
in gaps while taking advantage of manufacturing, marketing, and distribution synergies. Acting on
this strategy in 1990, we purchased a cigarette manufacturer from the former East German state;
announced a marketing and manufacturing joint venture with the largest Hungarian coffee and con-
fectionery producer, BEV; and acquired majority ownership of Negroni S.p.A., a specialty meat
company in Italy
To assure consistency, quality, and availability of our brands, we are investing in our production
processes. In 1990, our capital expenditures set a new record of $1.4 billion. We anticipate that
from
1991 to 1995 they will amount to another $9.0 billion. We are also addressing increasingly urgent
,,nvironmental concerns, even as we continue to find new ways of satisfying consumer desires for
xivenience, nutrition, and variety.
Our greatest competitive assets are not manufacturing facilities or brand franchises, however, but
the talents, energies, and dedication of all our employees. 'Ale are only as strong as our employees
are
ambitious for our businesses. We thank them for all their past contributions and we count on their
continued efforts to help us realize our potential to be the best consumer packaged products
company in the world.

`.tost of our gains over the

In 1990, as the worldwide
cigarette industry expanded

11 r hed 9.3"l0. Volume for
i, moro, the world's best- _
'Ciling consumer packaged
product, rose 6.8%, to reach
:i-14 billion units.
Our U.S. business set new
records. Volume, based on
,liihments, grew by one bil-

I that declined by

The lklarlboro brand farn-
ilv now accounts for 2b"n of
the U.S. market, or nearlv
one-third of all full-priced
cigarettes sold. Marlborc~
has ranked first in the U.S.
cigarette industry for 16
consecutive years, and its
large share of adult smokers
under age 35 is a strong plat-
form for further share gains.
Among our other full-
priced brands, Virginia
Slims,-Merit, and Benson &
Hedges remained leaders in
their categories. We also
continued to develop low
smoke and low nicotine
formulations to satisfy
changing consumer
demands.

record volume of 368.1 bil-

of 15.5% over 1989-our
highest percentage increase
in 18 years.
Our U.S. cigarette export
unit volume grew nearly
25%. Our tobacco exports
made a gross contribution of
nearly $3 billion to the U.S.
balance of payments, and
our share of total U.S. ciga-
rette exports reached 59%.
The U.S. trade deficit would
have been more than $5 bil-
lion higher without the
industry's tobacco exports.
Marlboro further widened
its lead as the world's best-
selling cigarette with a 13%
sales gain overseas. Among
its 1990 successes, Marlboro
became the top brand in
Mexico and the best-selling
international brand in the
former East Germany. Its
successes in Europe
included volume gains of
28% in Spain, 17% in the
Netherlands, 7% in the for-
mer West Germany, and 7%
in Belgium. Marlboro is
growing throughout Latin
America, and now accounts
for 7% of all cigarette sales
in this region. Marlboro
Lights, the world's best-
selling international light
cigarette, increased volume
by 21%.
Approximately half our
volume outside the United
States comes from our many
strong and growing interna-
tional trademarks such as
Lark, Parliament, Virginia
Slims, Merit, L&M, Chester-
field, and the Philip Morris
brand, as well as from local
brands such as Muratti,
Mult i-Fi lter, and Peter Jack-
son. This diversified brand
portfolio gives us a broad
base for future expansion.
In the European Commu-
nity, our aggregate market
share increased to more
than 22%. In the reunified
German market, we led the
industry with a market
share of 32%. In Italy, we
increased volume and
achieved a 40%o market
share. Volume in France
grew 7%, and we now
account for almost a quarter
of the market. Our volume
in Spain climbed 27%,

the 139 state and local pro-
posals to increase excise
taxes, 115 were defeated or

We are also combating
attempts to restrict our mar-

keting activities. As industry
analysts have pointed out,
the elimination of cigarette
advertising would do little to
discourage smoking. It
would, however, reduce
competition, and make it dif-
ficult for companies to
introduce new products that
might address the concerns
of both smokers and non-
smokers. We believe that
efforts to restrict our market-
ing are not consistent with
free enterprise systems.
We are supporting indus-
try and trade initiatives to
discourage underage con-
sumers from using our
products. We also are sup-
porting legislation to
establish a minimum age of
18 for the purchase of
tobacco products in states
currently without such a law.

strengths. Of our food oper-
ating revenues, 72% came
from number one or two
brands in their category, and
our revenue and income
growth put us among the top
companies in the food
industry.
For the year, volume grew
6.5%, while operating reve-
nues were up 17%, and
operating companies
income increased 24%.
Excluding the acquisition of
Jacobs Suchard, volume
rose by 3.3%, operating rev-

The diversity of our food
operations yielded solid
benefits, as superior per-

softness in a few segments.
Our unique combination of
strong brands in growing

improved food-away-from-

boosting U.S. sales by 13%

As we develop and launch
new products and promo-
tions, we are benefiting from
a unique set of synergies.
Most of our savings
through these synergies and
productivity improvements
were reinvested; for our goal
is not to avoid spending, but
to spend wisely. Our most
important synergies create
incremental business.
Our fat free products are
a good example of how we
are becoming more than the
sum of our companies. We
recognize that lower fat and
cholesterol now head the list
of consumers' dietary con-
cerns. And nearly every one
of the KGF operating com-
panies is replacing fats with
other natural ingredients in
at least one of its products -
from cheeses and pourable
salad dressings to cakes and
frozen desserts. These inno-
vative fat free products alone
accounted for more than
$275 million in revenues
in -1990.
We first introduced fat
replacement technology in
our U.S. markets, and now
we are pooling our experi-
ence to bring new fat free
products to Canada, Europe,
and Australia. We had fat
free products in more
categories than any other

In fact, crossing operating

synergies, KGF answered
demand for nutrition, conve-

ducing more than 300 new
products in the United States
during the year, and was
named the new product
company of the year by
Prepared Foods Magazine.
We bolstered our brands
with double-digit increases
in marketing expenditures in
1990 and plan similar
increases in 1991. Our Holi-
day Homecoming promotion
in the United States, featur-
ing 34 of our leading brands
in December 1990, was
another notable example of
how our companies are
working-and spending-
together to build our
business.
We are backing up our
investments in new markets,
products, and packagings by
investing in our people. We
are enlisting all our employ-
ees in a drive for continu-
ous improvement in every
company process, from pur-
chasing and research to
manufacturing and market-
ing, to serve both customers
and consumers better. Only
by aiming for excellence in
each aspect of our business
can we lead our competition
and begin to satisfy our own
high standards.

Consolidated operating com-

13.9%, despite a 10.9% drop
in operating revenues, as
Mission Viejo Company con-
tinued to wind down its
homebuilding activities.
Revenues from PMCC's
financial services operations
grew 19.2%, while operat-
ing companies income
increased 27.4%. In 1990,
PMCC expanded its financ-
ing programs for customers
and suppliers of Philip
Morris operating companies.
The company also increased
its investment in leasing
transactions, building on its
position as one of the coun-
try's major equipment lessors.
PMCC has a strong capital
position, and its debt is com-
paratively small when set
against the financial position
of its parent, Philip Morris
Companies Inc. In addition,
PMCC's assets do not reflect
significant exposure to
highly leveraged companies
or troubled industries.
Although the current eco-
nomic downturn introduces
some uncertainties, we
expect the company to con-
tinue its pattern of sound
revenue and income growth.
As Mission Viejo phased
out homebuilding, operating
revenues declined 27.2%.
Operating companies in-
come, derived from land
planning, development, and
sales, increased 1.1%. The

On August 16, 1990, the company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Kraft
General Foods, Inc., purchased Colima Holding AG, the principal
asset of which was a controlling interest in Jacobs Suchard AG,
a Swiss-based coffee and confectionery company. In September
1990, a tender offer was completed for substantially all of the
remaining publicly held interests of Jacobs Suchard. The pur-
chase price of Colima and the remaining publicly held interests of
Jacobs Suchard totaled $4.1 billion.
On December 7,1988, Kraft, Inc. became a wholly-owned sub-
sidiary of the company. The purchase of outstanding Kraft shares,
retirement of employee stock options and other related payments
totaled $12.9 billion.
The acquisitions have been accounted for as purchases and,
accordingly, operating results of Kraft and Jacobs Suchard have
been included in the consolidated operating results of the com-
pany since acquisition.
1990 Compared with 1989
Operating revenues for 1990 increased $7.1 billion (16.1%) and
operating profit, as defined for segment reporting purposes (oper-
ating income excluding unallocated corporate expenses),
increased $1.2 billion (17.6%). The inclusion of Jacobs Suchard
since acquisition resulted in $1.4 billion (20.0%) of the increase
in operating revenues and $89 million (7.2%) of the increase in
operating profit.
Amortization of goodwill increased 16.4% to $448 million in
1990, due primarily to goodwill arising from acquisitions, $33 mil-
lion of which related to Jacobs Suchard. Interest and other debt
expense, net, decreased $96 million in 1990 compared with 1989,
due primarily to lower rates, lower average outstanding debt dur-
ing the year and higher interest income.
Net earnings increased in 1990 by $594 million (20.2%), due to
increased operating profit ($1.2 billion), partially offset by a
higher income tax provision ($659 million). Interest and goodwill
amortization arising from the acquisition of Jacobs Suchard
exceeded that company's income contribution in 1990, resulting
in a dilution in earnings of approximately $.03 per share.
1989 Compared with 1988
Operating revenues for 1989 increased $12.8 billion (41.0°lo) and
operating profit increased $2.5 billion (53.4%). The inclusion of
Kraft for the full year of 1989 resulted in approximately 90% of the
increase in operating revenues and $904 million (36.9%) of the

increase in operating profit. The remainder of the increases
resulted primarily from tobacco operations.
In 1989, General Foods Corporation was combined with Kraf
form Kraft General Foods, Inc., and the company charged $179
million against pretax income, primarily for costs associated w
this merger. In addition, the company sold its equity investmen
Rothmans International p.l.c. for &610 million of 10'/4% notes
maturing in 1994, generating a pretax gain of $455 million. The
notes were subsequently sold with recourse for approximately
$850 million. The net impact of these items was an increase in
earnings before income taxes, net earnings and earnings per
share of $276 million, $152 million and $.16, respectively.
The company's 1988 results included restructuring costs at
General Foods. As a result of this restructuring, certain facilitie
were combined and overhead costs were reduced to achieve
operating efficiencies. This restructuring reduced earnings bef
income taxes, net earnings and earnings per share by $348 mil-
lion, $212 million-and $.23, respectively.
Amortization of goodwill increased to $385 million in 1989, c
primarily to goodwill arising from the acquisition of Kraft. Intei
and other debt expense, net, increased $1.1 billion in 1989 com
pared with 1988, due primarily to higher amounts of outstandii
debt resulting from the acquisition of Kraft.
Earnings before cumulative effect of accounting change
increased in 1989 by $882 million (42.7%), due to increased
operating profit ($2.5 billion), partially offset by higher interest
expense ($1.1 billion) and a higher income tax provision
($449 million).
Recent Developments
Effective January 1, 1991, the federal excise tax on beer increas
from $9 per barrel to $18 per barrel, and the federal excise tax c
cigarettes increased from $8 per thousand to $10 per thousand.
Under existing legislation, the cigarette excise tax will further
increase to $12 per thousand, effective January 1, 1993. In addi.
tion, legislation is periodically proposed which would further
curtail the advertisement and use of our tobacco and beer proc
ucts. Some or all of the foregoing may have an adverse impact
the company's operating revenues and operating profit.
The company believes that any interruption of business resu
ing from the military conflict in the Middle East will not have a
significant impact on consolidated operating results.

1990 Compared with 1989
In 1990, Philip Morris U.S.A.'s operating revenues increased 9.5%
due to price increases ($1.0 billion) and volume increases ($43
rnillion), partially offset by unfavorable product mix. Volume
increases in 1990 resulted from new product introductions. Philip
%iorris U.S.A.'s domestic volume (based on shipments) increased
hillion units to 220.5 billion units. This unit volume growth
uicreased Philip Morris U.S.A.'s share (based on shipments) to
12.2%, up 0.3 share points over 1989. The domestic cigarette
industry's volume decreased approximately 0.3% in 1990 as com-
pared with a 6% decline in 1989. The industry decline in 1989
reflected, in part, a decision by Philip Morris U.S.A.'s competitors
to reduce trade inventories by limiting shipments. Philip Morris
U.S.A.'s 1990 increase in market share is understated due to these
changes in competitors' trade inventory practices, which
lepressed their 1989 volume while inflating Philip Morris U.S.A.'s
-'9 share. Consequently, Philip Morris U.S.A.'s 1989 market share
rose 2.6 share points and 1990 market share rose 0.3 share points.
However, in the opinion of management, a more meaningful
indicator of underlying share growth is Philip Morris U.S.A.'s aver-
age annual gain of 1.5 share points over the two-year period.
Marlboro continued to be the number-one-selling cigarette in the
United States, with a 26% share of the market. In 1990, Philip
Morris U.S.A.'s operating profit increased 16.6%, reflecting higher
qross profit ($914 million), partially offset by higher marketing
"»nses ($309 million). The increase in gross profit was due pri-
...Ai iiv to price increases ($1.0 billion) and cost savings, partially
offset by unfavorable product mix ($216 million).
Philip Morris International's operating revenues increased
28.0%, due primarily to increases in unit volume ($1.4 billion),
price increases ($331 million) and currency translation ($897 mil-
lion), partially offset by the deconsolidation of certain operations.
Unit volume of Philip Morris International for 1990 increased
15.5% over 1989, reflecting significant increases in Europe and
Asia. Philip Morris International's operating profit increased $388
million (38.7%), due primarily to higher gross profit ($648 mil-
lion), offset by higher marketing, administration and research
costs ($260 million). The increase in gross profit was due to price
and cost increases ($148 million), volume increases ($469 mil-
lion) and currency translation ($127 million), partially offset by the
deconsolidation of certain operations.
The company has negotiated an agreement to export to the Rus-
sian Republic over 20 billion cigarettes by year-end 1991. The
company has taken measures to minimize risk of loss on ship-
ments thus far and intends to do so for future shipments.
1989 Compared with 1988
In 1989, the 11.6% increase in Philip Morris U.S.A.'s operating reve-
nues was due primarily to price increases. Philip Morris U.S.A.'s
domestic unit volume (based on shipments) increased 247 mil-
lion units to 219.5 billion units. The 16.8% increase in Philip
Morris U.S.A.'s operating profit in 1989 reflects higher gross profit
($731 million), substantially all of which was related to price
increases, partially offset by higher marketing expenses.
Philip Morris International's 3.6% increase in operating reve-
nues was due primarily to increased unit volume ($694 million)
and price increases ($561 million), partially offset by currency
translation ($480 million) and the deconsolidation of a subsidiary,
the operations of which were merged into a joint venture. Unit vol-
ume of Philip Morris International in 1989 increased 9.7% over
1988, reflecting growth in Europe and Asia. Philip Morris Interna-
tional's operating profit increased $233 million (30.2%), due
primarily to higher gross profit ($318 million), partially offset by
higher marketing, administration and research costs ($85 mil-
lion). The increase in gross profit was due to price increases
($254 million) and volume increases ($199 million), partially off-
set by currency translation ($92 million) and the deconsolidation
of a subsidiary.

*Kraft was purchased in December 1988, and merged with General Foods in 1989 to form Kraft General
Foods ("KGF"). To facilitate year-to-year analysis, the 1988 amount:
shown above are the combined full year results of Kraft and General Foods.
The following discussion of results by KGF operating unit
excludes KGF headquarter expenses, restructuring charges and
amortization of goodwill, all of which are included in KGF
Corporate.
1990 Compared with 1989
In 1990, General Foods USA's operating revenues increased 5.4%,
due primarily to price increases ($98 million) and volume
increases ($226 million), partially offset by the net impact of dis-
positions and acquisitions. Volume increased in baked goods,
beverages, coffee, cereals and dinners. General Foods USA's oper-
ating profit increased 45.3% due to higher gross profit ($360
million), resulting primarily from price increases and cost savings
($229 million) and volume increases ($142 million), partially off-
set by higher marketing, administration and research costs ($164
million), approximately 86% of which related to higher marketing
expenses.
Kraft USA's operating revenues increased 8.3% due primarily to
price increases ($364 million). Kraft USA's volume increased
slightly due to increases in specialty cheeses and grocery prod-
ucts, which were offset by volume decreases in retail cheese
products. In 1990, Kraft USA's operating profit increased 10.4%,
due primarily to higher gross profit ($292 million), partially offset
by higher marketing, administration and research costs ($213 mil-
lion), approximately 85% of which relqted to higher marketing
expenses. The increase in gross profit was due primarily to price
and cost increases.
Operating revenues for KCFlnternational in 1990 increased
65.8%, due primarily to the acquisition of Jacobs Suchard ($1.4
billion), volume increases ($153 million), currency translation
($340 million), other acquisitions ($197 million) and a change in
reporting periods to conform all operations. Volume growth
occurred primarily in Europe and the Pacific area. KGF Interna-
tional's operating profit increased 78.7% in 1990. Excluding
Jacobs Suchard, operating profit increased $173 million (46.0%)
due to higher gross profit ($391 million), partially offset by higher
marketing, administration and research costs ($218 million), sub-
stantially all of which related to marketing expenses. The increase
in gross profit resulted primarily from volume increases ($60 mi
lion), currency translation ($116 million), other acquisitions
($46 million) and a change in reporting periods to conform all
operations ($137 million).
KCFCanada's operating revenues increased 6.1% in 1990 due
to volume increases ($34 million), currency translation ($22 mil
lion) and the net impact of acquisitions and dispositions ($20
million). Operating profit increased 25.7% due primarily to high
gross profit ($65 million) resulting from increased margins
and volume, partially offset by higher marketing expenses
($8 million).
OscarMayerFoods' operating revenues increased 11.0% in
1990 due primarily to price increases ($198 million) and volume
increases ($52 million). Increased volume from new product
introductions more than offset volume declines in luncheon
meats and hot dogs. Operating profit decreased 13.7% due to
higher marketing, administration and research costs ($72 mil-
lion), which more than offset an increase in gross profit ($49
million). The increase in marketing, administration and researcl
costs primarily reflects plant closing costs in 1990 ($25 million)
and higher marketing expenses related to new product introduc
tions ($51 million).
Operating revenues of KCFFrozen Products increased 2.5% ii
1990 due primarily to price increases ($38 million) and volume
increases ($14 million). KGF Frozen Products had volume
increases in frozen desserts, Lender's bagels and Tombstone
pizza, partially offset by volume decreases in Birds Eye and froz
dinners. KGF Frozen Products' operating profit remained flat in
1990 with higher gross profit ($58 million) resulting primarily
from increased margins, offset by higher marketing, administra
tion and research costs ($58 million), of which approximately
85% related to higher marketing expenses.
))) ~ 26

KGFCommercial Products' operating revenues increased 7.8%
in 1990, due primarily to volume increases ($117 million), price
increases ($107 million) and the net impact of acquisitions and
dispositions ($76 million). In 1990, KGF Commercial Products'
operating profit decreased 26.3%, reflecting lower margins and
higher marketing costs at the foodservice division.
1989 Compared with 1988
To facilitate a year-to-year analysis of food operations, the follow-
inq discussion addresses changes in the results of KGF for 1989
compared with the full year combined results of Kraft and General
Foods for 1988.
General Foods USA's operating revenues increased 2.6% in 1989
due primarily to price increases ($138 million). Volume decreases
in cereals, beverages and baked goods offset volume increases
in coffee and desserts. General Foods USA's operating profit
increased 41.0% in 1989, due primarily to higher gross profit ($179
million) resulting primarily from price increases, partially offset
by higher marketing expenses ($70 million).
Kraft USA's operating revenues increased 8.2% due primarily to
I ,t ic.e increases ($329 million) and volume increases ($53 mil-
lion), partially offset by the disposal of a business. Volume
increases were due primarily to process cheese products. In 1989,
Kraft USA's operating profit increased 40.5%, due primarily to
higher gross profit ($249 million) resulting from price increases
($167 million), volume increases ($40 million) and cost savings.
Operating revenues for KGFInternational decreased 5.7% in
1989, due primarily to currency translation ($243 million), the
impact of conforming reporting periods of KGF's international
thsidiaries ($206 million) and the deconsolidation of certain
.,Dsidiaries, partially offset by price increases ($203 million), vol-
ume increases ($78 million) and acquisitions ($41 million). KGF
International's operating profit increased 13.6% due to higher
gross profit ($76 million), resulting primarily from pricing, par-
tially offset by the impact of the deconsolidations and change in
Kraft International's year-end.
After excluding the 1988 revenues ($180 million) and the
operating profit impact ($30 million) of a business which was
exchanged for an interest in a joint venture, KGF Canada's operat-
iL! revenues and operating profit increased from 1988. Operating
t:venues increased $76 million, due primarily to price increases
($43 million), currency translation ($41 million) and acquisitions
($18 million), partially offset by decreased volume ($26 million).
Operating profit increased $43 million, due primarily to higher
gross profit, resulting from a $55 million increase due to pricing
and lower costs, partially offset by decreased volume.
OscarMayerFoods' operating revenues increased 4.6% in 1989
due to volume increases ($57 million) in Louis Rich brands and
from new product introductions and price increases ($43 million).
'89, Oscar Mayer Foods' operating profit increased 3.7%, due
primarily to higher gross profit ($14 million), partially offset by
higher marketing, administration and research costs ($8 million).
The increase in gross profit reflected volume increases of $28 mil-
lion, partially offset by higher costs.
Operating revenues of KGFFrozen Products increased 4.3%
due primarily to price increases ($78 million), with the remainder
attributable to increased volume. KGF Frozen Products had vol-
ume increases in frozen dinners, Lender's bagels and Tombstone
pizza, partially offset by volume decreases in Birds Eye and frozen
desserts. KGF Frozen Products' operating profit increased 27.1% in
1989, reflecting higher gross profit ($48 million), substantially all
of which related to price increases, partially offset by higher mar-
keting expenses ($10 million).
KGF Commercial Products' operating revenues increased 4.0%
in 1989 due to volume increases in foodservice operations ($147
million) and net acquisitions ($58 million), partially offset by
price decreases ($58 million). In 1989, KGF Commercial Products'
operating profit increased 41.6%, reflecting higher gross profit
($73 million, approximately 64% of which related to lower costs,
with the remainder principally attributable to volume increases),
partially offset by higher marketing, administration and
research costs.
Beer
1990 Compared with 1989
Operating revenues in 1990 increased 5.7% due to volume
increases ($127 million) and price increases ($65 million). The
increase in volume was attributable, in part, to the introduction of
new products, including Sharp's non-alcoholic brew. Market share
of the domestic beer and non-alcoholic brew industry rose to
22.1% from 21.9% in 1989. Operating profit in 1990 increased
26.1% from higher gross profit ($108 million), due to price and cost
increases ($55 million) and volume increases ($53 million), par-
tially offset by higher marketing, administration and research
costs ($49 million), approximately 90% of which related to mar-
keting keting expenses.
1989 Compared with 1988
Operating revenues in 1989 increased 5.2% due to increases in
unit volume ($121 million) and prices ($44 million). Market share
of the domestic beer and non-alcoholic brew industry rose to
21.9% from 21.2% in 1988. Operating profit increased 18.9% in
1989 resulting from higher gross profit ($64 million) due in equal
amounts to volume and pricing, partially offset by higher market-
ing, administration and research costs ($28 million).
Financial Services and Real Estate
1990 Compared with 1989
Operating revenues from financial services in 1990 increased $35
million (19.2%) over 1989, and operating profit increased $23 mil-
lion (27.7%) due primarily to increased investments in finance
assets, partially offset by higher interest expense resulting from
higher commercial paper balances. Operating revenues from real
estate operations in 1990 decreased $91 million (27.2%), and oper-
ating profit increased $1 million (1.1%) from 19891evels9 reflecting
27

the continued impact of a 1988 change in business strategy in
California from residential homebuilding to land planning,
development and sales. While there is demand for the company's
California properties, recent developments in the domestic bank-
ing industry have reduced the financing options available to
prospective purchasers.
1989 Compared with 1988
Operating revenues from financial services in 1989 increased
$16 million (9.6%) over 1988, and operating profit increased
$20 million (31.7%), due primarily to increased investments in
finance assets and interest savings from debt refinancings under-
taken during 1988. Operating revenues from real estate operations
in 1989 decreased $122 million (26.8%), and operating profit
decreased $10 million (10.1%) from 1988 levels, reflecting the
change in business strategy referred to above.
Financial Review
Cash Provided and Used
In 1989, cash provided by investing activities included $992
million received from the divestiture of the company's equity
investment in Rothmans and several food operations.
In 1990, the company invested $523 million in finance assets a
compared with $481 million in 1989 and $495 million in 1988.
Leasing investments accounted u_ nt_ed for 699'0, 65% and 39% of these
amounts, respectively.
Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Financing Activities
Consumer Products Debt
During 1990, total consumer products debt increased by $2.3 bil-
lion. The increase represented $3.6 billion of debt issued, $1.1
billion of debt assumed in the acquisition of Jacobs Suchard and
currency translation of $250 million, partially offset by $2.7 billio
of debt repayments.
At December 31, 1990, the company's ratio of consumer prod-
ucts debt to total equity was 1.44, down from 1.56 at December 3'
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities of $5.4 billion increased in
1990 by $1.7 billion (46.7%). The increase was related primarily to
higher earnings ($594 million) and to less cash used for working
capital items in 1990.
Cash provided by operating activities decreased in 1989 by $1.4
billion (27.8%). The decrease is related to the large amount of
cash provided by working capital items in 1988, which was gener-
ated principally by a designed reduction of accounts receivable
and increase in accounts payable, as well as an increase in
accrued liabilities. This increased cash flow was used to fund
part of the Kraft acquisition. Net cash used for working capital in
1989 was principally due to the reversal of the amount provided in
1988. Partially offsetting the change in cash attributable to work-
ing capital items was an increase of $926 million (26.3%) in other
operating cash flows, attributable primarily to higher earnings.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
In 1990, the company paid $3.1 billion for the purchase of Jacobs
Suchard, net of $825 million of acquired cash. In 1988, the com-
pany paid $11.4 billion for the purchase of Kraft, net of $866
million of acquired cash. In 1990 and 1989, the company paid an
additional $11 million and $388 milliori, respectively, for pre-
viously untendered shares of Kraft common stock.
Capital expenditures were $1.4 billion in 1990, approximately
63% of which related primarily to expansion and modernization of
manufacturing and processing facilities of food operations. In
1989, capital expenditures increased $222 million over 1988 due
primarily to the inclusion of Kraft for a full year in 1989. Capital
expenditures are estimated to be $1.7 billion in 1991 and a total of
$9.0 billion for the five-year period 1991-1995, of which approx-
imately $1.1 billion and $6.1 billion, respectively, are projected for
food operations.

1989. Fixed rate debt comprised approximately 73% and 66% of
consumer products debt at December 31, 1990 and 1989, respec-
tively. The average interest rate on total consumer products debt,
was approximately 9.2% and 9.5% during 1990 and 1989, respec-

tivelv. At December 31, 1990, the average interest rate on total con-
sumer products debt, including the impact of interest and cur-
rency swap agreements discussed below, was approximately 8.8%.
During 1989, total consumer products debt decreased by $1.6
billion. The decrease represented $4.0 billion of debt repayments
and currency translation of $62 million, partially offset by $2.5 bil-
lion of domestic debt issued to refinance commercial paper and
bank borrowings arising from the acquisition of Kraft.
During 1988, total consumer products debt increased by $10.1
billion, which represented $10.0 billion of debt issuances and $.9
billion of Kraft debt assumed at acquisition, partially offset by $.9
billion of debt repayments, as well as foreign currency translation.
Total Debt
The company's credit ratings were upgraded by Moody's in 1990 to
"P 1" in the commercial paper market and "A2" for long-term obli-
gations, as compared with ratings of "P-2" and "A3," respectively,
at December 31, 1989. The company's credit ratings by Standard &
Poor's remained at "A-1" in the commercial paper market and "A"
for long-term debt obligations.
.\t December 31, 1990, the company's total debt-to-equity ratio
was 1.57, down from 1.72 at December 31, 1989. Total debt was
$18.7 billion at December 31, 1990, compared with $16.4 billion at
December 31,1989.
At December 31, 1990, the company had interest rate swap
agreements with an aggregate notional principal amount of $2.4
billion and a weighted average maturity of 1.2 years. These agree-
ments provided a weighted average interest rate of 9.0%. In
addition, the company has entered into currency and related inter-
ost rate swap agreements to manage interest rate and currency
.osure on certain long-term debt obligations. The aggregate
1louonal principal amount of these swap agreements outstanding
at December 31, 1990 was $1.5 billion, of which $721 million
related to consumer products debt.
The company expects to continue to refinance long-term and
short-term debt from time to time. The nature and amount of the
company's long-term and short-term debt and the proportionate
amount of each can be expected to vary as a result of future busi-
ness requirements, market conditions and other factors.
The company's percentages of fixed rate debt and average inter-
- rates for 1990 and 1989 relative to total debt were approxi-
fnately the same as those previously discussed for consumer
products debt.
At December 31,1990, the company's credit facilities amounted
to approximately $17.2 billion, including a $12.0 billion revolving
bank credit facility expiring in 1993, of which approximately
$15.5 billion were unused. These facilities were used to support
the company's commercial paper borrowings.
The company expects that cash from operations and available
"dit facilities will continue to be sufficient to meet the future
:s of the business.
The company continually monitors its foreign currency
exposure. It acts to manage such exposure, when deemed pru-
dent, through various hedging transactions. Foreign currency
denominated debt for which the company has not entered into
currency swap agreements is maintained primarily to hedge the
currency exposure of its net investments in foreign operations.
Equity and Dividends
In 1989, the company announced its intention to spend up to
$1.5 billion to repurchase common stock in open market transac-
tions at prevailing prices from time to time over a two-year period
commencing in 1990. In 1990, the company repurchased 5.7 mil-
lion shares at an aggregate cost of $221 million. The share
repurchase program was temporarily suspended in 1990 due to
the Jacobs Suchard acquisition.
Dividends paid in 1990 increased 22.7% over 1989, reflecting
the increase in dividends declared to $1.55 per share in 1990 from
$1.25 per share in 1989. The quarterly dividend rate established in
August 1990 is at an annual rate of $1.72 per share, an increase of
25.1% over the annual rate of $1.375 established in August 1989.
Return on average stockholders' equity was 32.9% in 1990 and
34.2% in 1989.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Basis of presentation:
The consolidated financial statements include all significant
subsidiaries: ;
Balance sheet accounts are segregated by two broad types of
businesses. Consumer products assets and liabilities are classi-
fied as either current or non-current, whereas the accounts of
financial services and real estate are unclassified, in accordance
with respective industry practices.
Certain prior years' amounts have been reclassified to conform
with the current year's presentation.
Cash and cash equivalents:
Cash equivalents include demand deposits with banks and all
highly liquid investments with original maturities of three
months or less.
Inventories:
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The last-in,
first-out ("LIFO") method is used to cost substantially all domes-
tic inventories. The cost of other inventories is determined by the
tic
average cost or first-in, first-out methods. It is a generally recog-
nized industry practice to classify the total amount of leaf tobacco
inventory as a current asset although part of such inventory,
because of the duration of the aging process, ordinarily would not
be utilized within one year.
Income taxes:
Effective January 1, 1988, the company prospectively adopted the
method of accounting for income taxes prescribed by Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. ("SFAS") 96, "Accounting
for Income Taxes:" See Note 10.
Depreciation and arnortization:
Depreciation is recorded by the straight-line method. Substan-
tially all goodwill and other intangible assets are amortized by the
straight-line method, principally over 40 years.
Note 2. Acquisitions:
On August 16,1990, the company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Had the acquisition occurred at the
beginning of 1990 and 1989,
Kraft General Foods, Inc. purchased Colima Holding AG, the prin- pro forma operating revenues, net
earnings and earnings per
cipal asset of which was a controlling interest in Jacobs Suchard share would have been
approximately $52.7 billion, $3.4 billion
AG, a Swiss-based coffee and confectionery company. In Septem- and $3.74, respectively, for the year
ended December 31, 1990 and
ber 1990, a tender offer was completed for substantially all of the $47.8 billion, $2.7 billion and
$2.89, respectively, for the year
remaining publicly held interests of Jacobs Suchard. KGF retained ended December 31, 1989.
certain coffee and confectionery operations of Jacobs Suchard On December 7,1988, Kraft, Inc. became
a wholly-owned
and sold to the former owner of Colima certain assets which
would not fully integrate into the KGF structure, including the
industrial chocolate business, the Canadian coffee business, por-
tions of the U.S. confectionery business and interests in three
foreign banks. The acquisition has been accounted for as a pur-
chase and, accordingly, operating results of Jacobs Suchard have
been included in the consolidated operating results of the com-
pany since acquisition. The aggregate purchase price, net of
amounts received for businesses sold, was $4.1 billion which was
financed with the company's credit facilities, internally generated
funds and a SFr 250 million note payable.
The estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities
assumed totaled $3.0 billion and $2.4 billion'respectively. The
excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the
net assets purchased was approximately $3.5 billion and such
excess is being amortized over 40 years by the straight-line
method. The allocation of the purchase price is based upon pre-
liminary estimates and assumptions and is subject to revision
once appraisals, evaluations and other studies of the fair value of
the acquired assets and liabilities have been completed.
subsidiary of the company. The purchase of outstanding shares,
retirement of employee stock options and other related payments
totaled approximately $12.9 billion. The acquisition has been
accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, operating results
of Kraft have been included in the consolidated operating results
of the company since acquisition. The purchase price exceeded
the fair value of the net assets acquired by $12.2 billion and such
excess is being amortized over 40 years by the straight-line
method. The fair value of tangible assets acquired totaled
$5.5 billion and long-term debt and other liabilities assumed
totaled $4.8 billion. Had the acquisition of Kraft occurred at the
beginning of 1988, pro forma operating revenues, net earnings
and earnings per share would have been approximately $43.0 bil-
lion, $1.5 billion and $1.63, respectively.
Pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of what actually
would have occurred if the acquisition had been consummated at
the beginning of each year, nor are they necessarily indicative of
future consolidated results.

Note 3. Restructurings and Divestiture:
In 1989 General Foods Corporation was combined with Kraft to
form KGF. The company charged $179 million against pretax
income which was primarily for costs of this merger. In addition,
the company sold its equity investment in Rothmans International
p.l.c. for £610 million 10%496 notes maturing in 1994, generating
a pretax gain of $455 million. These notes were subsequently sold
with recourse for approximately $850 million. The net impact of
these items was an increase in earnings before income taxes, net
earnings and earnings per share of $276 million, $152 million and
$.16, respectively.
In 1988 the company provided for restructuring costs at General
Foods. As a result of this restructuring, certain facilities were
combined and overhead costs were reduced to achieve operating
efficiencies. This restructuring reduced earnings before income
taxes, net earnings and earnings per share by $348 million,
$212 million and $.23, respectively.

Note 4. Inventories:
The cost of approximately 56% of inventories in 1990 and 60% of and $770 million lower than the
current cost of inventories at
inventories in 1989 were determined using the LIFO method. The December 31, 1990 and 1989,
respectively.
stated LIFO values of inventories were approximately $880 million
Note 5. Short-Term Borrowings and Borrowing Arrangements:

average interest rates consisted of the following:

Financial services and real estate:

The company maintains credit facilities with a number of lend-
ing institutions, amounting to approximately $17.2 billion at
December 31, 1990. Approximately $15.5 billion of these facilities
were unused at December 31, 1990. These facilities are used for
acquisitions and to support the company's commercial paper bor-
rowings and are available for other corporate purposes.
The company's credit facilities include a revolving bank credit
agreement expiring in 1993 for $12.0 billion which enables the
company to refinance short-term debt on a long-term basis.
Accordingly, short-term borrowings intended to be refinanced
have been reclassified as long-term debt.
Certain of these facilities limit payment of cash dividends and
the purchase, redemption or retirement of capital shares and/or
require maintenance of a fixed charges coverage ratio. At Decem-
ber 31, 1990, approximately $2.0 billion of earnings reinvested in
the business was free of such restrictions.

The company has entered into currency and related interest rate
swap agreements with third parties to manage exposure to inter-
est rate and currency movement on certain obligations. As a
result, the effective interest rates and currency denominations
may differ from those set forth in this note. The aggregate notional
principal amount of these swap agreements outstanding at
December 31, 1990 was $1.5 billion. The aggregate maturities of
the notional amounts of these arrangements are as follows (in mil-
lions): 1991-$154; 1992-$729; 1993-$408 and1996-$196. Market
value gains and losses on these swap agreements are recognized
and offset the related foreign exchange gains and losses on the
foreign currency denominated debt.
In addition, at December 31, 1990, the company had interest
rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional principal
amount of $2.4 billion. These arrangements, with a weighted aver-
age maturity of 1.2 years, provided a weighted average interest
rate of 9.0%. The differential to be paid or received on these swap
agreements is included in interest and other debt expense, net as
interest rates change over the lives of the respective agreements.

Note 10. Pretax Earnings and Provision for Income Taxes:
Effective January 1, 1988, the company prospectively adopted the
provisions of SFAS 96 and changed its method of computing
deferred income taxes from the deferred method used in prior
years. The adoption of SFAS 96 increased 1988 net earnings and
earnings per share by $213 million and $.23, respectively.
The cumulative effects as of January 1, 1988 of adopting SFAS
96 were decreases in deferred income taxes of $736 million and
goodwill of $463 million, and an increase in 1988 net earnings and

adoption included $105 million of excess deferred tax benefits,
which have subsequently reversed. Application of SFAS 96 during
1988 decreased earnings before cumulative effect of accounting
change by $60 million ($.06 per share), resulting primarily from
the reversal of the aforementioned excess deferred tax benefits
recorded upon adoption of SFAS 96.

Note 12. Retirement Benefit Plans:
Pension Plans
The company adopted SFAS 87 for its U.S. pension plans in
1986 and for its non-U.S. plans in 1989. = =.
The company and its subsidiaries sponsor noncontributory
defined benefit pension plans covering substantially all U.S.
employees. The plans provide retirement benefits for salaried
employees based generally on years of service and compensation
during the last years of employment. Retirement benefits for
hourly employees generally are a flat dollar amount for each year
of service. The company funds these plans in amounts consistent
with the funding requirements of federal law and regulations.

Pension coverage for employees of the company's non-U.S. sub-
sidiaries is provided, to the extent deemed appropriate, through
separate plans, many of which are governed by local statutory
requirements. The plans provide pension benefits that are based
primarily on years of service and employees' salaries near retire-
ment. The company provides for obligations under such plans by
depositing funds with trustees or purchasing insurance policies.
The company records liabilities for unfunded foreign plans.

long-term rate of return on plan assets was 9% at December 31,

The company and certain of its subsidiaries sponsor deferre
profit-sharing plans covering certain salaried, nonunion and
union employees. Contributions and costs are generally deter-
mined as a percentage of consolidated pretax earnings, as
defined by the plans. Certain other subsidiaries of the company
also maintain defined contribution plans. Amounts charged to
expense for defined contribution plans totaled $209 million,
$180 million and $136 million in 1990,1989 and 1988, respectively.

Plan assets consist primarily of common stock and fixed income securities.
Other Postretirement Benefits
The company and its domestic subsidiaries provide certain health
care and other benefits to substantially all retired employees.
The costs of such benefits are expensed generally as incurred,
although liabilities for vested benefits were recorded in connec-
tion with the acquisitions of General Foods and Kraft. Amounts
charged to expense related to such benefits have not been
significant.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106,
"Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than
PenskVrs," was issued in 1990 and requires companies to accrue
the cost of such benefits during the employee's period of service.
The startdard must be adopted no later than 1993 for domestic
plans and 1995 for foreign plans. Upon adoption, companies may
recopize the additional liability either immediately or prospec-
tivelv over not more than twenty years. At present, the company
plans to adopt SFAS 106 prospectively in 1993. The company cur-
rently estimates that adoption of the standard will increase annual
expense, the amount of which has yet to be determined.
Note 13. Contingencies:
,
There is litigation pending against the leading United States
cigarette manufacturers seeking compensatory and, in some
cases, punitive damages for cancer and other health effects
alleged to have resulted from cigarette smoking. Philip Morris
Incorporated, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company, is
a defendant in some of these actions. It is not possible to pre-
dict the outcome of this litigation. Litigation is subject to many
uncertainties and it is possible that some of these actions could
be decided unfavorably to PM Inc. An adverse development in
pending litigation could encourage the commencement of addi-
tional similar litigation. All such actions are and will be vigor-
ousls defended. However, management does not believe that this
litigation will have a material adverse effect upon the financial
condition of the company.
The company is contingently liable for payment of 1~610 million
notes maturing in 1994, sold with recourse in 1989.

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Philip Morris Companies Inc.:
We have audited the accompan_ying consolldated balance sheets
of Philip Morris Companies Inc.Rand subsidiaries ais of December
31,1990 and 1989, and the related consolidated statements of
earnings, stockholders' equity and cash flaws Eor each of the three
years in the period ended December $1,1990. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the compan}`s management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits. -
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
-- --, -
whether the financial staterrients are free pf material misstate-
ment. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial state-
ments. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above pre-
sent fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial
position of Philip Morris Companies Inc. and subsidiaries at
December 31, 1990 and 1989, and the consolidated results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 1990, iri conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Notes I and 10 to the consolidated financial
statements, the company adopted in 1988 the method of account-
ing for income taxes prescribed by Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No 96 _

Company Report on - -
Financial Statements-
The consolidated financial statements and all related financial
Information herein are the responsibility of the company. The
financial statements, which include amounts based on judgments,
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. Other financial information in the annual
report is consistent with that in the financial statements.
The company maintains a system of internal controls which it
believes provides reasonable assurance that transactions are
executed in accordance with management's authorization and
properly recorded, that assets are safeguarded, and that account-
ability for assets is maintained. The system of internal controls is
characterized by a control-oriented environment within the com-
pany which includes written policies and procedures, careful
selection and training of personnel, and audits by a professional
staff of internal auditors.
Coopers & Lybrand, independent accountants, have audited and
reported on the company's consolidated financial statements.
Their audits were performed in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards.
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, composed of
seven non-management directors, meets periodically with
Coopers & Lybrand, the company's internal auditors and manage-
ment representatives to review internal accounting control,
auditing and financial reporting matters. Both Coopers & Lybrand
and the internal auditors have unrestricted access to the Audit
Committee and may meet with it without management representa-
tives being present. -
