Philip Morris Companies Inc. manufactures and markets tobacco, beer, and food products enjoyed by consumers around the world. Its two principal subsidiaries are Philip Morris Incorporated and General Foods Corporation, which became part of the Philip Morris family in November 1985. 0 Philip Morris Incorporated is among the world's largest producers of cigarettes. Its Philip Morris U.S.A. unit leads the U.S. industry, while Philip Morris International markets cigarettes in more than 170 countries and territories. Other operating units are Miller Brewing Company, which has climbed to second place in the U.S. beer industry from seventh when full control of Miller was acquired in 1970; The Seven-Up Company, a producer of carbonated soft drinks; Mission Viejo Realty Group Inc., a community development company in Southern California and Colorado; and Philip Morris Credit Corporation, which provides financing for Philip Morris customers and engages in other financial services. EGeneral Foods Corporation sells more kinds of foods and in greater volumes than any other U.S.-based company. Most of its products hold the first or second position in their markets. General Foods divides its operations into U.S. Grocery Products, Worldwide Coffee & International Products, and Processed Meats. MA listing of Philip Morris Incorporated and General Foods r,) Corporation products appears on pages 20 and 21. ~ O O .: rJ ~ cn 9

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. *Represents equity in net earnings of these unconsolidated subsidiaries. 2 500010 452'

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- Op.rafing Revenues Billions of Dollars 175 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 Operating Income Billions of Dollars 2.8 2,4 2.0 1,6 1.2 8 4 0 81 82 83 84 85 3 8

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 NAf Earnings Billions of Dollars 1,4 4 Hamish Maxwell (third from left), with (left to right) Hugh Cullman, John A. Murphy, and James L.

We expect that the Seven-Up divesti- tures will have an insignificant effect on Philip Morris' income in 1986. EarningsP®r5hara Dollars 10.50 900 r.~ fJl 7, 50 ~ 6,00 4.50 3 00 1 50 81 82 83 84 85 if

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 Dividends Declared PerShare Dollars 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. .~,. .e._..~U.Z Hamish Maxwell Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer 5

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.

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 ^ U S, Cigarette Industry Unit Sales .

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.  World Cigarette Industry Unit Sales (Excluding USA.) .

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.

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. John A.

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. 1976-1984 data are for 1977-1985 fiscal years, 1976-1984 data are for 1977.1985 fiscal years, ended approximately March 31. ended approximately March 31. General Foods Corporation General Feeds Corporation Op®rating Revenues Operating Income Billions of Dollars Millions of Dollars 10.5 700 10 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. James L. Ferguson Chairman and Chief Executive Officer General Foods Corporation 11 8

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. r'.1 ~ O a ~ G 4, v fJ f Total Assets (Year-End) - Not Return (Before Net Interest) on Average Total Assets (%) Billions of Dollars %  Stockholders' Equity (YearEnd) ~ Net Return on Average Stockholders' Equity (%) Billions of Dollars / °!o  Total Debt (Year-End)  Interest Expense ~ Ratio of Total Debt to - Interest Coverage (Earnings Before Stockholders' Equity (Year-End) Interest and Taxes Divided by Interest) Billions of Dollars Ratio Millions of Dollars Coverage 84 1 3.5 350 A 10.5 0 ~A!11111111WW 111111W 0 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 0 0 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 0 0 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 0 0 6 77 8 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 0 22

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- pared with $129 million for 1983. Inflation-Adjusted Information 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. Schedule I (in millions of dollars, except per share data) As Reported in the Adjusted for Changes Primary Statements in Specific Prices (Historical Cost) (Current Cost) Operating revenues Deductions from operating revenues: Cost of sales, excluding depreciation expense Depreciation expense Other, net Earnings before income taxes Provision for income taxes(A) Net earnings Earnings per share Gain from decline in purchasi+~g power of net amounts owed Inventories and property, plant, and equipment: Increase in general price level Decrease in specific prices (current cost)(B) Excess of increase in general price level over the decrease in specific prices Translation adjustment Stockholders' equity (A) In accordance with FASB requirements, inflation-adjusted amounts do not reflect any adjustments in the provision for income taxes.

Schedule II (in millions of dollars, except per share data) Operating revenues Current cost information: Earnings before income taxes Net earnings Earnings per share Gain from decline in purchasing power of net amounts owed Excess of increase in general price level over the change in specific prices Translation adjustment Stockholders' equity at year-end Cash dividends declared per common share Market price per common share at year-end 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 1985 1984(A) 1983(A) 1982(A) 1981(A) $15,964 $14,307 $14,011 $12,912 $12,682 $ 2,204 $ 1,498 $ 1,568 $ 1,317 $ 1,127 1.130 754 832 739 644 9.43 6.14 6.61 5.88 5.15 180 176 188 201 401 392 121 (80) (55) 28 135 (93) (75) (82) (48) 6,056 6,020 6,291 6,092 5,519 $ 4.00 $ 3.52 $ 3.13 $ 2.67 $ 2.37 S 87(A) $ 823/s $ 761/s $ 66'/s $ 553/4 322.2 311.1 298.4 289.1 272.4 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.

 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. 33

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.

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. r,;, t.n ~-, 0 c ~ 0 ~ cn ~ 34

Approximately $6.4 billion of these facilities remained unused at December 31, 1985. These facilities are primarily maintained to support the company's commercial paper bor- . rowings. The company maintains bank balances of approxi- mately $20 million to support $300 million of the unused facilities and compensate the banks for services. Commitment fees of 1/4 of 1 percent are paid to the banks as compensation for $5.3 billion of the unused facilities.

Notes continued Litigation: There is litigation pending against the leading United States 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. In March, 1985, a verdict for $14 million was rendered in the U.S. District Court in Hammond, Indiana, against General Foods Additional Information: (in millions) Depreciation expense Rental expense Interest expensed Interest capitalized Interest incurred Quarterly Financial Results (Unaudited): (in millions, except per share amounts) For Quarter ended: 1985 Operating revenues Gross profit Net earnings (A) Per share: Earnings (A) Dividends declared Market price high-low 1984 Operating revenues Gross profit Net earnings (B) Per share: Earnings (B) Dividends declared Market price high-low The principal stock exchange on which the company's common stock (par value $1 per share) is listed is the New York Stock Exchange. At January 31, 1986, there were 31,405 holders of record of the company's common stock. (A) Effective July 1, 1985, substantially all of the company's Industrial.opera- tions were sold for $250 million. In the third quarter of 1985, the gain on these sales increased net earnings and earnings per share by $38 million and $.32, respectively. - Corporation on behalf of a former Burger Chef franchisee. Gen- eral Foods has appealed and has been advised by counsel that it has substantial arguments for a reversal of the verdict. A num- ber of similar actions by Burger Chef franchisees have been commenced against General Foods. It is not possible to predict the outcome of the above described litigation; however, management does not believe that the pending actions will have a material adverse effect upon the financial condition of the company. All such actions will be vigorously defended. 1985 1984 1983 $367 $341 $294 $ 75 $ 69 $ 64 $345 $299 $234 3 14 129 $348 $313 $363 Mar. 31 June 30 Sept. 30 Dec. 31 Year $3,315 $3,719 $3,634 $5,296 $15,964 1,127 1,327 1,348 2,029 5,831 256 322 394 283 1,255 2.12 2.68 3.30 2.37 10.47 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 4.00 943/4-79 951/a-811h 871/4-73'/s 903/4-72 951/s-72 $3,249 $3,609 $3,666 $3,290 $13,814 1,021 1,202 1,293 1,105 4,621 205 257 322 105 889 1.67 2.10 2.62 .85 7.24 .85 .85 .85 .85 3.40 751/4-621/2 70-62'/s 79-671/4 831/4-73'/8 831/4-62'/s During the fourth quarter of 1985, a write-down in connection with the anticipated sale of The Seven-Up Company domestic and international franchise businesses and the restructuring of the remaining operations reduced net earnings and earnings per share by $35 million and $.29, respectively.

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. Coopers & Lybrand NewYork, NewYork January 28, 1986 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. 43
