` 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 competit iveness 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, we accelerated 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

aeneral Foods International), Mr. Fukujin, and John Keenan.
20.'2'!4>, 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 strongly,
and operating margins also improved. Including
t full year of 1990 Jacobs Suchard results on a pro forma basis, our food companies would have con-
ributed approximately 52% of our revenues and 31% of our operating companies income, while
mploying 66% of our work force.
Miller Brewing Company volume was up by 1.6 million barrels, or 3.8%, and operating companies
,icome advanced by 26%. Five years of steady growth, fueled by successful new product introduc-
ions, have helped Miller build its position as a major competitor in the consolidating beer
industry.
lanagement and Board of Directors
1 April, Richard D. Parsons, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Dime Savings Bank of
few York, FSB, joined the Philip Morris Board of Directors.
Also in April, two members of your Board, Howard L. Clark and William P. Tavoulareas, retired in
ccordance with our policies. Each had served with distinction on the Board of the General Foods
orporation prior to its acquisition by Philip Morris in 1985. Their wisdom, experience, and insights

have contributed great value to Philip Morris during their years of service on your Board.
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-
sialpJe 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.l
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
Our goal is to be the world's most 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 uncertainties of doing business. Fortunately,
our products are consumer staples, and our businesses are relatively resilient.
To 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
environmental concerns, even as we continue to find new ways of satisfying consumer desires for
convenience, 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. We 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.

~fforts to restrict our market-

We are supporting indus-
ry and trade initiatives to

during the same period our
cigarette volume grew by
53%. Our 1990 volume gain
is the largest we've ever had,
and gives us the momentum
to continue building our
share of the growing world-
wide cigarette market. The
expertise we first acquired
in the United States has
helped us satisfy millions
of consumers with a wide
range of local, regional, and
global brands.
We are already a major
force in most of the world's
important tobacco markets,
and developments in Europe
and Asia offer even greater
expansion opportunities.
We envision large and profit-
able growth for many years
to come.

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-
enues by 10%, and operating
companies income by 18%.
The diversity of our food
operations yielded solid
benefits, as superior per-
formance in most of our
businesses more than offset
softness in a few segments.

and business opportunities
realized through synergies,
and technological creativity
fueled steady growth even as
we invested for the future.
The acquisition of Jacobs
Suchard was consistent with
our strategy of building an
ever stronger portfolio of
brands and markets, whether
through development or
acquisition-and whether
inside or outside the United
States. Including a full year
of results from Jacobs
Suchard on a pro forma
basis, approximately 32% of
KGF's 1990 revenues would
have been generated outside
the United States.
With Jacobs Suchard, we
are now Europe's leader in
roast and ground coffee, the
coffee segment with the
greatest growth potential.
