Operating companies' income is income before corporate expense, interest, and
other non-operating income and deductions. The amortization of previously
capitalized interest is included in operating companies' income.
On July 1, 1985, pursuant to a Plan of Exchange, Philip Morris Incorporated
became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company, the new publicly-held
parent. The exchange has been accounted for similar to a pooling of interests
and the consolidated results of the company for periods prior to July 1, 1985,
reflect the consolidated results of Philip Morris Incorporated.
General Foods Corporation was acquired in November 1985. Accordingly,
consolidated operating results shown above include the operating results of
2
General Foods Corporation after October 1985.
Effective July 1, 1985, substantially all of the company's Industrial opera-
tions were sold for $250 million. The gain on these sales increased pre-tar
earnings, net earnings, and earnings per share by $77 million, $38 milii: 1, and
$32, respectively, for the year 1985.
In 1984, a write-down of the completed but inactive Miller Brewing Com-
pany facility in Trenton, Ohio, reduced pre-tax earnings, net earnings, and earn-
ings per share by $280 million, $146 million, and $1.19, respectively.

Review of the Year
In 1985, Philip Morris again improved its competitive posi-
tion in the cigarette industry, By acquiring General Foods
Corporation, we also made an important move to enlarge
and strengthen our participation in other attractive seg-
ments of the consumer products marketplace.
We increased our operating revenues, net earnings,
and earnings per share by 15.6%, 41.3%, and 44.6%,
respectively. The large gains in earnings compare with
1984 results that were depressed by a write-down of
Miller's Trenton, Ohio, brewery.
Although operating revenues and income of General
Foods are included for the last two months of 1985, there
was no net effect on Philip Morris' consolidated earnings
because the General Foods' income contribution after
goodwill amortization essentially offset the cost of acqui-
sition financing.
Worldwide cigarette sales, our principal business,
increased by more than 18 billion units, and our market
share improved both in the United States and
internationally.
Philip Morris remains committed to sales and income
growth in both the cigarette and beer industries. Actions
taken in 1985 and early this year will also serve to focus
more of our resources and ambitions on other consumer
goods which offer us opportunities for enhanced
performance in the future.
In July, we divested the companies making up Philip
Morris Industrial, realizing an after-tax gain of $38 mil-

lion. The sale resulted from a conclusion, reported to you
last year, that these businesses no longer fit our strategic
objectives.
In April, our stockholders approved a restructuring into
a new holding company, Philip Morris Companies Inc.
The change took effect at mid-year and more accurately
reflects the varied nature of our businesses.
Most significantly, on November 1 we effected the
acquisition of General Foods Corporation. The move dem-
onstrates our belief that we should diversify in businesses
that are compatible with our most successful experience
and that bring competitive strength and excellent man-
agement resources to the company.
General Foods is one of the world's largest and best
food companies. It has a wide range of well-known, high-
quality grocery products with efficient and varied distribu-
tion channels. Most of its products are in first or second
competitive positions in their segments; many are in high-
growth categories in the packaged food industry.
The acquisition reinforces the strategy we have fol-
lowed for 25 years to use some of our resources to
expand our earnings base internationally and through
diversification. -
Notwithstanding this history, our consistently superior
cigarette earnings were still over 90% of our operating
profit. Although your Board and management expect
cigarettes to be a very large and profitable industry for
many years to come, we became convinced that the
value of your investment over the long term could be

improved by further diversification. We are confident that
the merger with General Foods will add to Philip Morris'
reputation and prospects as a worldwide consumer
packaged-goods company.
The acquisition of General Foods was made in light of
our strong financial position with, at the time, the lowest
debt/equity ratio in 23 years. The $5.6 billion price we
paid was fair and comparable with prices of other recent
mergers and acquisitions in the consumer products indus-
try. This was an all-cash acquisition financed by debt
bearing reasonable rates of interest. Our cash flow pro-
jections indicate that it will be possible to reduce our debt
burden significantly relatively soon, taking into account
forecasted capital expenditures of $3.6 billion over the
five years from 1986 to 1990 and other normal business
needs. In addition, while no other major acquisitions are
now contemplated, we expect that our financial resources
will permit consideration of further acquisitions that fit or
complement our existing businesses.
We do not expect the General Foods acquisition to
have any material dilutive effect on Philip Morris' earn-
ings. In future years, we expect it to add incremental earn-
ings per share and to accelerate our income growth.
In January 1986, we announced an agreement to sell
the Seven-Up trademark and franchise business world-
wide to PepsiCo, Inc. and also our intent to divest our
remaining Seven-Up bottling and food operations as soon
as practical. Although Philip Morris has made substantial

investments in Seven-Up since its acquisition in 1978, we
were unable to strengthen significantly its competitive
position or to earn or forecast a satisfactory return on our
overall investment. We expect that the Seven-Up divesti-
tures will have an insignificant effect on Philip Morris'
income in 1986.

Board of Directors
As a result of the General Foods acquisition and in accord-
ance with the merger agreement, James L. Ferguson,
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of General Foods,
and Philip L. Smith, President and Chief Operating Officer,
were elected to the Board of Directors of Philip Morris
Companies Inc. in November 1985. In addition, the Board
elected Mr, Ferguson a Vice Chairman of Philip Morris
Companies Inc.
Howard L. Clark, Dr. Elizabeth J. McCormack, and Wil-
liam P. Tavoulareas, all former non-management members
of the General Foods Board, were elected to the Philip
Morris Board in January 1986. There were no other
changes in our Board, .
Otherlssues
In 1985, we continued to pursue our responsibilities to
society, particularly in the countries and communities in
which we have plants and offices. With the acquisition of
General Foods, the scope of these activities has
expanded, and a separate report called "In the Public
Interest" is being mailed to you. Several public policy
issues are of important concern to Philip Morris. If you
would like more information about these, you are invited
to return the postcard which is included in this report.
The Outlook
Last year we expanded our range of brands with new
product introductions in our tobacco, beer, and food
products businesses. We will continue to develop, test

market, and introduce new products for which there is
real consumer demand.
We will also maintain our commitment to sound
management and financial practices. Our businesses will
continue to face challenges in the marketplaces of both
products and ideas. We remain confident that we can
meet these challenges and manage our responses
successfully.
With respect to the larger size of Philip Morris Compa-
nies Inc., we believe it is a fallacy to think that being
bigger will ensure our continued prosperity. Your man-
agement views increased size as providing one thing-
the resources to excel. Consequently, I will add another
commitment to those we outlined last year: That is to
use those resources to be the best at what we do.
We intend to be the best at developing new products,
the best at low-cost, high-quality production, the best at
marketing to consumers, and the best at attracting and
motivating capable people. By succeeding, we will con-
tinue to prosper.
I welcome the people of General Foods to Philip Morris.
We are 114,000 individuals, but one team. Our progress
this year is a tribute to all our people's commitment to
being the best and to sustaining the momentum that has
characterized the success of your company.

1hilip Morris Incorporated
'hilip Morris Incorporated had another excellent year in
1985. Operating income rose 14.2% above the level of
1984 to $2.7 billion, on a 3.8% gain in operating revenues
:o $14.3 billion. The U.S. tobacco business was the largest
=ontributor to our income advance, and results improved in
most of our other businesses as well.
Effective July 1, 1985, we sold substantially all of the
Philip Morris Industrial operations (principally Plainwell
Paper Co., Inc. and Wisconsin Tissue Mills Inc. to Chesa-
peake Corporation, and Nicolet Paper Company to Ham-
mermill Paper Company). The total sales price of $250
million produced an after-tax gain of $38 million. We
divested these profitable operations because they were
no longer significantly integrated with our major busi-
nesses and were removed from the branded consumer
products industries.
Philip Morris U.S.A.
Philip Morris U.S.A. increased its sales volume to 213.6 bil-
lion cigarettes in 1985, up 1% from 211.6 billion units in
1984. Our gain contrasted with a decline for the U.S.
industry from 600 billion units in 1984 to approximately
595 billion units last year.
Market share for Philip Morris U.S.A. thus rose 0.6
share points in 1985 to approximately 35.9%, widening
our leadership position in the industry.
Operating income for 1985 climbed 17.5% to
$2.1 billion. Operating revenues were up 7.8% to
$6.6 billion.

Another strong performance by the Marlboro family
paced our success in 1985. Marlboro-the nation's num-
ber-one brand-posted a 3.3% volume gain to 133.3
billion units and approximately a 22.4% market share.
Marlboro Lights again was the best-selling low-tar
cigarette in the United States. Marlboro Red and
Marlboro Lights in full-priced king size 25's packs were
launched nationally in January 1985 and contributed to
the overall volume gain for the brand.
Virginia Slims, the leading cigarette marketed to
women, was another of the industry's established brands
that grew in 1985. Virginia Slims in a longer, 120mm ver-
sion was nationally introduced in the fourth quarter and
contributed to growth. in addition, Merit and Benson &
Hedges 100's maintained their leading positions in their
segments.
Philip Morris U.S.A. will continue to concentrate on
"full price" cigarettes. However, consumer acceptance of
brands in the lower priced or "value" category has cre-
ated additional opportunities for us to pursue. We
launched Players Lights 25's nationwide in December to
position ourselves in this segment.
New products are central to our growth philosophy. As
we identify opportunities in the marketplace, we develop
and test products designed to meet them.
Our objective is to continue to develop process
improvements that result in better quality cigarettes as
well as greater efficiencies. We are backed by the most

modern and superior facilities anywhere in the industry.
Our large investments of the last decade in facilities
and technology are paying dividends in quality and
productivity.
Staff reorganization in 1985 allowed our sales force to
call more frequently on key retailers. Additional point-of-
sale fixtures (such as single pack and carton fixtures)
improved our visibility and depth of inventory at the retail
level last year.
High-quality, American-grown tobacco leaf is the cru-
cial component of our brands. Philip Morris again was the
largest purchaser of domestic flue-cured and burley
tobaccos during 1985.
Uncertainty clouds the future pricing of U.S. leaf.
Tobacco growers' organizations and purchasers worked
closely throughout 1985 to strengthen the U.S. tobacco
program. Proposed federal legislation, which Philip Morris
has endorsed, establishes a price support system that
would make U.S. leaf more competitive in world markets
and a method of setting production quotas that would
better reflect leaf demand. All of this should benefit both
the manufacturer and farmer in the long run.
Out of a large universe of suspected factors in the cau-
sation of chronic degenerative diseases-such as lung
cancer and heart disease-cigarette smoking has been
accused of being the principal cause. The basis for the
accusation is primarily statistical evidence. Although
researchers concede that knowledge of the fundamental
processes by which these diseases arise is lacking, govern-
ment and private financial support for the necessary
research is waning.
However, over the last 30 yeaFs Philip Morris and the
industry have contributed nearly $130 million to fund
independent research on smoking and health. We con-
tinue to believe that the results of scientific investigations
to date fail to demonstrate a cause-and-effect relationship
between smoking and chronic diseases. We also believe
that the preponderance of scientific evidence indicates
that exposure to cigarette smoke causes no health impair-
ment to a healthy non-smoker.
Philip Morris International
Philip Morris International performed well in 1985 with
volume increasing 6.5% over the 1984 level to 274.9
billion units and worldwide market share (excluding the
United States) rising to an estimated 6.6%. Our export
volume advanced to 40.4 billion units, notwithstanding
the strength of the U.S. dollar throughout most of 1985.
Operating income rose 3.2% to $434 million on 6.7%
higher revenues of just under $4.0 billion. Our income
gain was held back by currency translation effects as well
as by a reduced contribution from our investment in
Rothman's International p.l.c. due principally to lower sales
in major markets and restructuring charges.
We achieved excellent sales and market share gains in
the European Common Market, where unit volume was
up 9%. In West Germany, the Marlboro family increased
its market share nearly four percentage points. Merit led
the way toward sales and share gains in Italy, and we con-
tinued to make excellent progress in France with our prin-
cipal brands, Marlboro and Philip Morris.
In Switzerland, we widened our leading position to a
37% share of market based on the combined strength of
Muratti Ambassador, Brunette, Philip Morris, and
Marlboro. Greater exports to Gulf countries in the Middle
East resulted in share gains in most major areas. Perfor-
mance was very good in the newly opened Turkish mar-
ket. There was also major volume improvement in Spain,
where Marlboro posted a 38% gain over 1984.

In Latin America, our Brazilian affiliate registered record
volume in a market rebounding sharply after several years
of decline. Depressed economic conditions led consumers
in other important countries to continue to trade down to
lower priced cigarette brands. Nevertheless, Philip Morris
International achieved higher unit volumes and market
shares for its premium brands. Sales volume was espe-
cially good in Argentina, Mexico, and the Dominican
Republic. Marlboro did well throughout the region, with
volume up 24% versus 1984.
The Peter Jackson family spearheaded success in
Australia in 1985 with a market share advance to 15%.
Partially offsetting this, our Lindemans wine business was
hurt by industrywide surpluses and higher sales taxes,
which led to severe price competition.
Asia offers especially attractive growth potential for
Philip Morris International. In Japan, Lark and Parliament
continued to dominate the import segment, and we had
strong volume gains last year; however, high tariff and tax
barriers persist. In Hong Kong, our total market share
exceeded 30% aided by an increase in Marlboro Lights'
sales volume. Record sales volume in the Philippines was
19% ahead of 1984.
Miller Brewing Company
Operating income of $136 million in 1985 was 16.7%
higher than the 1984 level despite a 0.5% decline in oper-
ating revenues to $2.9 billion.

rels, compared with 37.5 million barrels in 1984. While
the Lite brand continued to grow, there was a decline in
Miller High Life sales. The rate of decline had slowed
appreciably by year-end, however, largely a result of mar-
keting programs instituted early in 1985. These programs
have already helped to reinforce the quality image of
Miller High Life and its ranking as the nation's third-best-
selling beer. They center on High Life's "Made the Ameri-
can Way" concept and include advertisements, new labels
and packaging, and special point-of-sale support materials.
We introduced Miller High Life Genuine Draft in 22
states early in 1986 as the first step in a national rollout.
Genuine Draft is brewed with a unique cold filtration
process resulting in a smooth, fresh-tasting, draft
beer in a bottle. Miller continues to explore a wide
range of other products aimed at capturing additional
market share.
Lite beer from Miller, the second-best-selling brand in
the United States, achieved higher volume in 1985 and
maintained its dominance of the growing reduced-calorie
category.
In the super-premium segment, a new advertising cam-
paign for Lowenbrau was launched in the fourth quarter.
The campaign highlights Lowenbrau as a worldwide
brand-brewed and enjoyed in major beer-drinking coun-
tries. Meister Brau and Milwaukee's Best, Miller's popular-
priced beers, together achieved higher market share
last year.
New advertising campaigns, improvements in existing
campaigns, greater variety in promotional efforts,
improved distribution, and other sales and marketing pro-
grams are working in combination to create a stronger
marketing position for 1986.
The Seven-Up Company
The Seven-Up Company was profitable in 1985, achieving
operating income of $10 million on operating revenues of
$678 million. Soft drink unit volume sales declined in the
United States, partially due to lower Like cola volume.
Sales of the Diet 7UP brand increased, however, to record
2500010458
!

levels. Seven-Up International unit volume sales declined
somewhat overall, although good gains were made in
several major markets.
In January 1986, we announced an agreement to sell
the Seven-Up trademark and franchise business world-
wide to PepsiCo, Inc. and also our intent to divest our
remaining Seven-Up bottling and food operations (Oregon
Freeze Dry Foods Inc. and Ventura Coastal Corporation).
Mission Viejo Realty Group Inc.
Operating revenues for Mission Viejo Realty Group Inc.
declined to $204 million in 1985, and operating income
of $26 million also was lower than in the prior year. Mis-
sion Viejo's performance suffered principally from a weak-
ness in residential housing sales during the first half of
1985. The decline in housing sales lessened in the second
half, however, as lower mortgage rates encouraged home
buyers. Aggressive marketing programs led to strong land
sales throughout the year.
In 1985, major projects and programs were initiated in
both the residential and commercial sectors of Mission
Viejo's diversified real estate operations. On the residen-
tial side, six housing projects were opened, three each in
California and Colorado, including our first project for the
Denver-area retirement market. Ten more neighborhoods
are scheduled to open in California this year and three in
Colorado. The year 1986 also marks the 20th anniversary
of our first planned community, Mission Viejo, California,
which has evolved from 10,000 acres of grasslands into a
community of 60,000 residents.
Mission Viejo's Business Properties Division launched a
marketing awareness program in 1985 to establish our
Highlands Ranch, Colorado, location as a prime site for
business. We began to develop 450 new acres of business
property, and more than 40 businesses have located in
Highlands Ranch or entered negotiations for space. In Cali-
fornia, construction began on a major shopping center at
Mission Viejo, and we are participating in commercial and
industrial joint ventures in several other areas.
Philip Morris Credit Corporation
Philip Morris Credit Corporation had sharply higher reve-
nues of $93 million in 1985 and more than doubled its
contribution to Philip Morris' net earnings to $23 million.
The company provides financing for Philip Morris cus-
tomers and engages in leveraged equipment leasing
among other financing activities.
We continued to provide customer financings for resi-
dential, commercial, and industrial properties under
development by Mission Viejo Realty Group Inc. We
expanded our vending machine leasing program and
arranged additional term loans for independent bottlers
of The Seven-Up Company.
In our leveraged leasing operations, we added new
leases in 1985 for several jet aircraft and an electric utility
support facility. These diversified our initial portfolio of
leases, which primarily finance government cargo vessels
and communication satellite transponders.
We also broadened our range of financial services to
include construction lending. Our initial project, in con-
junction with a commercial bank, provided a construction
loan for a specialty shopping center near Mission Viejo's
Highlands Ranch property in Colorado.
As we move through 1986, the operating units of
Philip Morris Incorporated are well positioned in their
primary business segments to grow and prosper this
year and beyond.

General Foods Corporation
General Foods Corporation made good progress in 1985.
Though overall volume rose in line with the industry
growth rate, we were able to win higher market share for
many of our major brands.. More than 75% of 1985 sales
came from brands that hold the number-one market
position.
During the last two months of 1985, General Foods
had operating revenues of $1.6 billion and operating
income of $116 million.
New product activity during the year was strong, with
nearly all of our businesses introducing or expanding sig-
nificant new entries in the faster growing segments of
their markets.
U.S. Grocery Products
This business, which accounts for just over half of General
Foods' operating income, improved its earnings, particu-
larly in powdered beverages and bakery products.
Though the powdered soft drink market was down
modestly, we gained share for our Kool-Aid, Crystal Light,
and Country Time brands. At nearly 75%, our share is at a
12-year high.
The Crystal Light brand gained further consumer
acceptance in its second year of national distribution and
became the leading sugar-free powdered soft drink. Con-
venient ready-to-drink Kool-Aid Koolers with 20% juice
were expanded to 25% of the United States. The product
has already reached the number-two position in the fast-
growing aseptic juice drink market.

Our bakery business posted significant increases in vol-
ume, sales, and earnings. Entenmann's, the leading
U.S. producer of fresh baked sweet goods, continued its
successful expansion to the western United States and
plans to expand further this year. Entenmann's improved
its position in the Northeast by introducing premium
chocolate chip cookies and several new Danish
pastry products.
Croweat, which is the largest producer of specialty
breads in the western United States, also had higher
volumes, largely due to new products and quality
improvement.
General Foods' dessert business continued to build on
the Jell-0 trademark for new products, Jell-0 Gelatin
Pops, for example, scored outstanding results in a nation-
wide rollout. This product and Jell-O Pudding Pops have
strengthened our leadership of the fast-growing frozen
novelty market. The Jell-0 brand of refrigerated Ready-To-
Eat Puddings entered test market in 1985 with encourag-
ing early results.
We have maintained our premier positions in the Jell-O
brand's original markets-gelatin and pudding desserts.
We recently introduced sugar-free products in both seg-
ments. Our 1985 share rose to nearly 78% of the gelatin
market and nearly 74% of puddings.
Our Birds Eye trademark is helping us to enter another
dynamic market segment-prepared convenience meals.
At the end of 1985, we began shipping into test market
Fresh Creations frozen dinners from Birds Eye. They fea-
ture high-quality ingredients and a unique cooking system
that preserves fresh taste.
Post cereals achieved significantly higher earnings for
the year. Our key brands gained market share, even
though our total share of the highly competitive cereal
market declined.
Two new varieties were added to our successful Fruit &
Fibre line. New advertising and improved quality have revi-
talized the growth of Grape-Nuts and Natural Raisin Bran.
And in late 1985, Post introduced nationally Horizon Trail
Mix, a new cereal for active young adults.

Worldwide Coffee & International
Products
Last year was difficult for this business, which contributes
about one-third of our operating income. We were able to
hold earnings stable despite the strong U.S. dollar and a
fundamental shift in the way we market coffee.
To increase the importance of product quality and con-
sumer marketing, Maxwell House cut the list prices of
regular ground coffees and reduced trade promotion
spending. Coffee volumes declined temporarily as the
grocery trade reduced inventories that had been built to
take advantage of prior price deals.
The cost of green coffee jumped at year-end due to a
severe drought in Brazil, and retail prices have followed
upward. As a result, 1986 is likely to show unusual coffee
consumption patterns.
Maxwell House quality improvements have helped to
keep us the number-one U.S. coffee company. A major
improvement in 1985 was Fresh Lock, a small packet
inserted to protecttaste by removing oxygen and moisture.
Our coffee business outside the United States had a
good year. Kaffee HAG in Germany continued its leader-
ship as Europe's best-selling brand of decaffeinated cof-
fee. Our Saimaza brand in Spain lengthened its lead of
the roast coffee market to a 23% share. In Canada, we
began a major drive into premium coffee, including Heri-
tage, the first instant to contain fresh ground coffee.
Coffee continues to be a major growth business in the
populous Asia/Pacific region. Our joint venture in Korea
with Dong Suh Foods posted its fifth straight year of
growth exceeding 30%. In Japan, our Ajinomoto-General
Foods joint venture opened its fourth freeze-dried coffee
plant. Construction began in India on a soluble coffee
and powdered beverage plant, the first facility of our
Kothari-General Foods joint venture. We also entered two
joint ventures in the People's Republic of China in 1985
and introduced Maxwell House instant coffee there.
Nearly all of our non-coffee businesses outside the
United States are market leaders, and most held or
increased share in 1985.
Through our Hostess brand, we consolidated our posi-
tion as Canada's number-one producer of potato chips
and other snack foods. Hostess now has a 34% share of
market, more than twice that of our nearest competitor.
Other important national franchises include Hollywood,
which has more than 80% of the chewing gum market in
France; Simmenthal, Italy's leading brand of canned
meats; Kibon, the best-selling ice cream in Brazil; and
Bird's, a leader in dessert products in Britain.
Our growing food service business markets coffee and
grocery products in the United States and internationally
to restaurants, airlines, schools, and other institutions.
Volumes, revenues, and earnings increased substantially
in 1985. Crystal Light drink mix did particularly well in its
first full year of national food service distribution.
Processed Meats
Contributing about 15% of General Foods' operating
income, our processed meats business benefited from
good volume growth and improved margins in 1985,
raising earnings significantly. Both the Oscar Mayer and
Louis Rich brands maintained strong share leadership of
every major category in which they compete.
Oscar Mayer strengthened its top position in sliced
luncheon meat with the national introduction of Select
Slices, a new premium line. The company increased its
share of the overall bacon market and successfully test
marketed Center Cut Bacon, a leaner premium brand.
Louis Rich processed turkey products registered higher
income on a 12% volume gain, the 15th straight year of
double-digit growth. Louis Rich luncheon meats are now
the number-two national brand behind only Oscar Mayer.
Turkey's appeal as a low-fat source of protein continues to
stimulate consumer demand.
The year 1985 was one of accomplishment for General
Foods-and even more confidence in our strategies and
people. Our commitment to quality and convenience
continues in 1986. We expect to have another good year.

Financial Review
Net earnings for 1985 increased 41.3% to $1.3 billion. Earnings
per share reached $10.47, up 44.6% from 1984. 1985 results
include earnings of General Foods for periods after October
1985, a gain of $38 million on the sale of substantially all of the
company's Industrial operations and a $35 million write-down
in connection with the sale and restructuring of The Seven-Up
Company. Net earnings for 1984 were reduced by $146 million
for the write-down to net realizable value of the completed but
inactive Trenton, Ohio brewery.
In February 1985, the Board of Directors declared a cash divi-
dend of $1.00 per share payable in April 1985. This 17.6%
increase in the common stock dividend resulted in an annual
rate of $4.00 per share. This was the 18th consecutive year of
increase and our 58th consecutive year of dividend payments.
Over the last decade, dividends per share increased 24.1 %
annually while net earnings per share increased 19.2%.
Total assets of $17.4 billion at year-end 1985, including $8.4
billion relating to General Foods, are over five times greater
than our total assets ten years earlier. Our return on average
assets was 12.8%, up from 10.9% in 1984. -
Stockholders' equity reached $4.7 billion, an increase of
nearly four times during the past decade. Our return on average
stockholders' equity was 28.4% in 1985, up from 21.9% in 1984.
Our debt to equity ratio at December 31, 1985 was 1.69 to 1
compared to an average of 1.04 to 1 over the last ten years.
Total debt at year-end 1985 was $8.0 billion, a $5.4 billion
increase from a year earlier, due principally to financing of the
General Foods acquisition and $1.0 billion of outstanding Gen-
eral Foods debt. The $5.6 billion cost of the General Foods
acquisition was initially funded using $3.6 billion obtained
under a revolving credit facility with a number of lending insti-
tutions that provides for domestic and Eurodollar loans and
approximately $1.4 billion obtained from other short-term bor-
rowings. The balance of such funds was generated internally.
Subsequent to the acquisition and before year-end, the com-
pany effectively converted $2.2 billion of its floating-rate bor-
rowings into fixed-rate debt. Long-term financing completed by
year-end included $865 million of domestic instruments, $500
million of Eurodollar borrowings and approximately $100 million
of Swiss franc notes. The company also entered into $500 mil-
lion of interest rate swap agreements and $200 million of inter-
est rate protection agreements. The average annual interest rate
is 9.7%. The company is planning to refinance in 1986 the
majority of the remaining short-term borrowings.
At year-end 1985, fixed-rate obligations were approximately
61 % of total debt compared with 70% in 1980. The fixed-rate
portion of our debt, which gives effect to interest rate swap and
cap agreements, totalled $4.9 billion at year-end and had an
average annual interest rate of approximately 9.9%.
The company has $7.9 billion of short-term credit facilities
with a number of lending institutions. Of this amount, $5.0 bil-
lion consists of a revolving credit facility that was used to
finance the acquisition of General Foods. These facilities also
support the commercial paper borrowings. The company main-
tains a high rating in the commercial paper market and a strong
"A" credit rating for long-term obligations.
Earnings coverage of interest expense for the company and
its consolidated subsidiaries increased to 7.76 times interest
expense for 1985 from 6.37 in 1984. The write-down of the
Trenton brewery in 1984 was the primary reason for the lower
earnings coverage for 1984.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
General
Consolidated funds from operations were $1.8 billion for the
year 1985, an increase of 14.6% over 1984. Excluding the
effects of the acquisition of General Foods Corporation, funds
from operations exceeded uses of funds by approximately $1.0
billion. The increases in the components of working capital rep-
resent principally the acquired working capital of General
Foods. Funds from operations of $1.5 billion and $1.3 billion for
1984 and 1983 exceeded total funds used by approximately
$600 million and $300 million, respectively.
Capital expenditures were $347 million in 1985 compared
with $298 million in 1984 and $566 million in 1983. The 16%
increase from 1984 is attributable to capital expenditures of
General Foods since the date of acquisition. Capital expendi-
tures are estimated at $775 million for 1986 and $3.6 billion
for the years 1986 through 1990, of which approximately $460
million and $2.3 billion, respectively, relate to General Foods.
Total debt at December 31, 1985 was $8.0 billion, a $5.4 bil-
lion increase from a year earlier. This increase was due princi-
pally to $5.0 billion of debt incurred in connection with the
acquisition of General Foods and $1.0 billion of outstanding
General Foods debt. The acquisition was financed initially with
short-term borrowings. By year-end, the company had refi-
nanced at an average annual rate of about 9.7% approximately
$2.2 billion of this short-term debt by issuing fixed-rate obliga-
tions with maturities from two to ten years and entering into
agreements that had the effect of converting variable-rate debt
to fixed-rate debt. The company expects to refinance in 1986
the majority of these short-term borrowings. Approximately
$400 million of short-term debt was repaid from internally gen-
erated funds.
The company expects that funds from operations will be suf-
ficient to meet the needs of the business in 1986. The company
has available credit facilities to meet seasonal and other needs.
In 1985, interest expense was $345 million, an increase of $46
million (15.3%) over 1984 due principally to the acquisition of
General Foods.
During 1985, the company purchased at an average cost of
$84.80 per share approximately 2.5 million shares of its com-
mon stock under the second of two announced common stock
repurchase programs. All 7.2 million shares of treasury stock
were retired prior to implementatiar+-of the plan of exchange
on July 1, 1985 pursuant to which the company became a hold-
ing company; under the plan, one share of the company's com-
mon stock was exchanged for each share of common stock of
Philip Morris Incorporated.
Since the company is a holding company, one of its principal
sources of funds is dividends from its subsidiaries. Certain debt
agreements of Philip Morris Incorporated restrict its ability to
pay cash dividends and to make other distributions to the com-
pany. At December 31, 1985, approximately $2.8 billion of
Philip Morris Incorporated's consolidated earnings reinvested
in its business was free of such restrictions. General Foods'
long-term debt agreements do not limit its ability to pay cash
dividends and to make other distributions with respect to its
common stock.
In 1985, consolidated operating revenues of $16.0 billion
were $2.2 billion or 15.6% higher than in 1984, attributable
principally to $1.6 billion of General Foods revenues since the
date of acquisition. Excluding General Foods, 1985 revenues
were up $518 million (3.8%). Tobacco operating revenues
increased $737 million (7.5%), while beer revenues declined
slightly. The increase in revenues from tobacco operations was
attributable to domestic price increases and international vol-
ume gains, partially offset by $177 million due to currency
translation. Revenues for 1985 were reduced by approximately
$139 million as a result of the sale on July 1 of substantially all
of the company's Industrial operations.
In 1985, consolidated operating profit, as defined for seg-
ment reporting, increased $406 million (17.8%), of which $95
million was attributable to General Foods. Tobacco products
operating profit increased $300 million (14%) due to price and
volume increases in Philip Morris U.S.A. Domestic cigarette
industry volume declined to an estimated 595 billion units, a
0.8% decline from 1984. Philip Morris U.S.A. increased its unit
volume 1% and market share from 35.3% to 35.9%. Philip
Morris International total unit volume increased 6.5%. Tobacco
products contributed 91%, beer 5% and food products 4% of
consolidated operating profit for 1985.
Equity in net earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries and
affiliates in 1985 increased $28 million due primarily to the
write-down of certain investments in developing countries
in 1984.
Net earnings were $1.3 billion, up 41.3% from net earnings
in 1984 of $889 million. The 1984 net earnings were reduced
by $146 million for the write-down of the Trenton, Ohio
brewery.
Effective July 1, 1985, substantially all of the company's
Industrial operations were sold for $250 million. The gain on
these sales increased net earnings by $38 million.
A write-down in connection with the proposed sale and
restructuring of The Seven-Up Company reduced net earnings
by $35 million for the year 1985.
In 1984, consolidated operating revenues of $13.8 billion
were $0.8 billion (6.5%) higher than in 1983, attributable prin-
cipally to increased revenues of $0.7 billion from tobacco and
$84.1 million from Seven-Up; beer revenues were up slightly.
The increase in tobacco revenues was attributable to increases
in unit volume and selling prices, reduced by $275 million due
to currency translation. The slight increase in beer revenues was
due to volume increases for popular-priced brands partially
offset by volume reductions in premium-priced brands.
In 1984, consolidated operating income was $417 million
(22.2%) higher than in 1983 due mainly to domestic tobacco
23

Management's Discussion continued
products. Tobacco products operating income increased $494
million (30%) due to volume and price increases, partially offset
by $38 million negative effect of a stronger U.S. dollar on for-
eign currency-denominated earnings. Philip Morris U.S.A. oper-
ating income was up $408 million (30.5%) and Philip Morris
International was up $86 million (28%). Domestic cigarette
industry volume rose to 600 billion units, a 0.6% increase from
1983. Philip Morris U.S.A. increased its unit volume 3.4% and
market share to 35.3%. Philip Morris International total unit vol-
ume increased 5.5%. The income gains for Philip Morris Inter-
national were based primarily on particularly strong unit
performances in the developed markets of Western Europe and
the Middle East. Beer operating income decreased $111 million
(48.8%) from 1983 due primarily to lower profit margins on
popular-priced brands and increased marketing expenditures.
Seven-Up's 1984 operating income of $5.3 million was due pri-
marily to volume and price increases. Tobacco products contrib-
uted 94% and beer 5% of consolidated operating income
for 1984.
Equity in net earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries and
affiliates in 1984 decreased $29 million due primarily to the
write-down of certain investments in developing countries.
In 1984, interest expense was $299 million, an increase of
$65 million (27.9%) over 1983 due principally to lower capital-
ized interest during 1984 arising from the completion of facili-
ties, partially offset by lower interest incurred due to reduced
borrowings. Interest capitalized in 1984 was $14 million com-

The following current cost information is presented in accord-
ance with the requirements of the Financial Accounting Stan-
dards Board (FASB).
Schedule I presents earnings and other data for 1985 as
reported and as adjusted for current cost. Schedule II covers the
five-year period to show the trends in key financial data restated
in terms of average 1985 constant dollars measured by the
U.S. Consumer Price Index.

Average Consumer Price Index
(A) Restated in average 1985 constant dollars.
The current cost method reflects the effect of changes in the
specific prices of the resources used in the company's opera-
tions. This method measures the resources and their consump-
tion based on the current cost of replacing them with like
resources, rather than in terms of the historical cost amounts
actually expended to acquire them. These values do not con-
sider technological improvements and efficiencies associated
with the normal replacement of productive capacity. Adjust-
ments for changes in specific prices of property, plant, and
equipment are principally based on external price indexes spe-
cifically or closely related to the resources being measured, or
internally developed indexes and, in the case of inventories and
cost of sales, on recent purchases and production costs. The
U.S. Consumer Price Index is used to measure the effects of
general inflation for the translated current cost information.
The current cost method involves the.use of assumptions,
approxiniations, and estimates and, therefore, the resulting
measurements should be viewed iri that context and not as pre-
cise indicators of the effects of inflation. The results do not nec-
essarily represent amounts for which the assets could be sold or
costs which will be incurred in future periods, or the manner in
which actual replacement of assets will occur.
In arriving at current cost net earnings for 1985, depreciation
expense and the raw materials and supplies components of cost
of sales are the only amounts reported in the primary statements

that have been adjusted into average 1985 dollars. Reve-
nues, labor, and other costs and expenses are considered to
reflect average price levels for the year, and accordingly have
not been adjusted.
The cost of sales adjustment for 1985 decreased earnings
before income taxes by $30 million, reflecting the fact that
inflation has exceeded the overall rate of increase in the histori-
cal cost of the company's raw materials and supplies. The com-
pany uses the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method to cost substantially
all domestic inventories. This reduces the disparity in reported
earnings with inflation-adjusted information since a more effec-
tive matching of current costs with current revenues results. The
depreciation adjustment decreased earnings before income
taxes by $95 million. This adjustment reflects the increase in the
valuation of the company's property, plant, and equipment
measured under the current cost method over historical dollar
cost amounts. The result of both inflation adjustments is a
decrease in earnings before income taxes of 5.4%.
The increase in stockholders' equity of $1.3 billion as com-
pared with the amount reported in the primary statements is
attributable mainly to the appreciation of inventories and prop-
erty, plant, and equipment due to inflation. Additionally, stock-
holders' equity is increased by gains resulting from the decline
in the purchasing power of net amounts owed.

General Foods Corporation was acquired in November 1985 in a
transaction accounted for as a purchase. Accordingly, consolidated
operating results shown above include the operating'results of General
Foods Corporation after October 1985.
Effective July 1, 1985, substantially all of the company's Industrial
operations were sold for $250 million. The gain on these sales increased
pre-tax earnings, net earnings and earnings per share by $77 million, $38
million and $.32, respectively, for the year 1985.
In 1984, a write-down of the completed but inactive Miller Brewing
Company facility in Trenton, Ohio reduced pre-tax earnings, net earnings
and earnings per share by $280 million, $146 million and $1.19,
respectively.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
consolidation:
The consolidated financial statements include all significant
subsidiaries except for the credit corporations and real estate
operations. Investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries and
affiliates are accounted for by the equity method.
Inventories:
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The last-in,
first-out (LIFO) method is used to cost substantially all domestic
inventories. The cost of other inventories is determined princi-
pally by the average cost method. It is a generally recognized
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.
Reorganization:
At the annual meeting held on April 25, 1985, the shareholders
of Philip Morris Incorporated (PMI) approved a reorganization of
PMI pursuant to a Plan of Exchange (the "Plan") between PMI
and the company. Pursuant to the Plan, which became effective
on July 1, 1985, the corporate framework through which the
operations of PMI were conducted was restructured, with the
company becoming the publicly-held parent of PMI and the
holders of PMI's common stock becoming the holders of the
Acquisition:
The company acquired for $5.6 billion all the outstanding com-
mon stock of General Foods Corporation ("General Foods"),
which on November 1, 1985 became a wholly-owned subsidiary
of the company. The acquisition has been accounted for as a
purchase, and accordingly, operating results of General Foods
have been included in the consolidated operating results of the
company for periods after October 1985. The purchase price of
the common stock exceeded the-fair value of the net assets
acquired by approximately $3.9 billion and such excess is being
amortized over forty years on a straight-line basis. Excluding
$718 million of working capital acquired, the remaining $1.0
billion investment in General Foods represents primarily $1.8 bil-
lion of property, plant and equipment less $900 million of
Divestitures and Write-Downs:
In 1985, other (income) deductions, net includes a pre-tax gain
of $77 million on the sale of substantially all of the company's
Industrial operations and a $50 million write-down in connec-
tion with the anticipated sale of The Seven-Up Company
domestic and international franchise businesses and the
Income taxes:
Investment tax credits are recognized currently as a reduction in
the provision for income taxes. Provision is made for federal
income taxes on the portion of undistributed earnings of sub-
sidiaries expected to be remitted.
Property, plant, and equipment:
The capitalized cost of facilities includes interest and real estate
taxes incurred during the construction period. Depreciation is
recorded by the straight-line method. Industrial development
incentive grants are included in income as realized.
Futures contracts:
The company executes futures contracts primarily to hedge fluc-
tuations in costs of commodities used in production and to
hedge exposures in foreign currencies. Changes in the market
value of hedging contracts are reported as an adjustment of the
carrying amount of the hedged item.
company's common stock. Under the Plan, one share of the
company's common stock was exchanged for each share of
PMI's common stock.
The exchange has been accounted for in a manner similar
to a pooling of interests and the consolidated results of the
company for the periods prior to July 1, 1985 reflect the con-
solidated results of PMI. The reorganization had no effect on
previously reported financial data.
long-term debt. The allocation of the purchase price is based on
preliminary assumptions and is subject to revision once apprais-
als, evaluations and other studies of the fair value of General
Foods' assets and liabilities are completed.
Had the acquisition occurred at the beginning of each year,
pro forma consolidated operating revenues, net earnings and
earnings per share would have been approximately $23,361
million, $1,260 million, and $10.51 for the year ended Decem-
ber 31, 1985, and $22,836 million, $908 million, and $7.40 for
the year ended December 31, 1984. The pro forma results are
not necessarily indicative of what actually would have occurred
if the acquisition had then been in effect, nor are they necessar-
ily indicative of future consolidated results.
restructuring of the remaining operations.
In 1984, a write-down of the completed but inactive Miller
Brewing Company facility in Trenton, Ohio reduced pre-tax
earnings by $280 million.

Notes continued
Inventories:
At December 31, 1985 and 1984, the cost of approximately
73% and 70% of inventories was determined by the LIFO
method, respectively. The stated LIFO value of inventory was
$600 million and $777 million lower than the current cost of
inventory at December 31, 1985 and 1984, respectively.

At December 31, 1985, investments in unconsolidated affiliates
located outside the United States exceeded equity in net assets
by approximately $140 million, which is being amortized over
40 years.
As of November 1, 1985, the company began consolidating
two majority-owned subsidiaries located outside the United
States which previously were reported on the equity method.
At December 31, 1985 and for the year then ended, combined
net assets and operating revenues of the two subsidiaries were
approximately $240 million and $440 million, respectively.
There was no material effect on the consolidated financial state-
ments and accordingly data for periods prior to November 1,
1985 have not been restated. In 1984, net earnings included a
charge of $41 million for the write-down of investments in cer-
tain unconsolidated subsidiaries reported on the equity
method. These operations are now being accounted for on the
cost method of accounting.
Consolidated earnings reinvested in the business at Decem-
ber 31, 1985 include the company's equity of approximately
$175 million in undistributed earnings of unconsolidated
affiliates.
Federal income tax has not been provided on approximately
$1.1 billion of accumulated earnings of subsidiaries, which are
expected to be permanently invested abroad.

cigarette manufacturers seeking damages for cancer and other
health effects alleged to have resulted from cigarette smoking.
Philip Morris Incorporated is a defendant in some of these
actions. Philip Morris Incorporated and the other cigarette
manufacturers have successfully defended all similar prior litiga-
tion and have not made any payments in settlement. An
adverse development in pending litigation might encourage the
commencement of similar litigation.

Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants:
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Philip Morris Companies Inc.:
We have examined the consolidated balance sheets of PHILIP
MORRIS COMPANIES INC. and subsidiaries as of December 31,
1985 and 1984, and the related consolidated statements of
earnings, stockholders' equity and changes in financial position
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1985. Our examinations were made in accordance with gener-
ally accepted auditing standards and, accordingly, included such
tests of the accounting records and such other auditing proce-
dures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
In our opinion, the financial statements mentioned above
present fairly the consolidated financial position of Philip Morris
Companies Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 1985 and
1984, and the consolidated results of their operations and the
changes in their financial position for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1985, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consis-
tent basis.

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 judg-
ments, have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, applied on a consistent basis.
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
accountability for assets is maintained. The system of internal
controls is characterized by a control-oriented environment
within the company which includes written policies and proce-
dures, careful selection and training of personnel, and examina-
tions by a professional staff of internal auditors.
Coopers & Lybrand, independent certified public accoun-
tants, have examined and reported on the company's consoli-
dated financial statements. Their examinations were performed
in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and
included studies and evaluations of internal accounting controls
to the extent deemed necessary by them.
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, composed
of six non-management directors, meets periodically with
Coopers & Lybrand, the company's internal auditors and man-
agement 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 manage-
ment representatives being present.
