PI{1LIP MORRIS INCORPORATED
1979
Philip Morris Incorporated is now_a leading
company in three large industries-ciga-
rettes, beer, and soft drinks-that provide -
simple pleasures to tens of millions of peo- --
ple every day. In 1979, the company regis-
tered its 26th consecutive year of growth in
operating revenues, net earnings, and earn-
ings per share.
Founded more than a century ago and __
incorporated in Virginia in 1919, the company
has long been a major cigarette manufact-
urer. Today, it is the second-largest ciga-
rette company in the U.S. market and the
largest U.S.-based international cigarette
company, selling its 160 brands in more than
170 countries and territories.
The corporation acquired full control of
the Miller Brewing Company in 1970. At that
time, Miller was the seventh-largest brewer
in the U.S. Today, Miller is the second-largest.
In 1978, the company expanded its
operations with the purchase of The Seven-
Up Company, the third-largest soft drink pro-
ducer in the world.
Philip Morris has also diversified into the
manufacture of specialty papers, flexible
packaging materials, and specialty chemi-
cals as well as into community development
and homebuilding.
These businesses are conducted by six
operating companies: Philip Morris U.S.A.,
Philip Morris International, Miller Brewing
Company, The Seven-Up Company, Philip
Morris Industrial,and Mission Viejo Company.

Consolidated operating revenues and operating
income include the results of the company and all
wholly-owned subsidiaries (The Seven-Up Company
and its subsidiaries since June 1, 1978). Effective Jan-
uary 1, 1979, Philip Morris International assumed
responsibility for the operations of Seven-Up Interna-
tional and Philip Morris International's 1979 operating
results include those of Seven-Up outside North
America. Only North American operations are included
in The Seven-Up Company.
Corporate expense, interest expense, and other
items which are not directly attributable to the operat-
ing companies are not allocated to them. In the opin-
ion of management, any allocation thereof would be
arbitrary and would diminish the accuracy of meas-
urement of their performances.

REVIEW OF THE YEAR
Geor.ge We ssman, cha rman of
the board and ch ef execut ve
officer (standing), meets w th the
other members of the Office of the
Chairman (left to right); Hugh
Cullman, group executive vice
president, Ross RMillhiser, vice

group executive vice president.
Philip Morris Incorporated
We started the 1970s as a large U.S. and
international cigarette company with partial
ownership of a relatively small beer com-
pany. We end the decade as a larger, more
successful U.S. and international cigarette
company, the world's second largest brewer,
and an important entrant in the large soft
drink industry. Our industrial and real estate
activities have also prospered. Most of the
quality products we sold in 1979 were made
on machines or in factories that did not exist
in 1970. Neither did many of the brands.
From 1970 to 1979, the worldwide unit
sales of our cigarette products grew by a
compounded 10%, spurred by the suc-
cesses of our principal brands. But, while
tobacco contributed 85.1% of Philip Morris'
revenues in 1970, by 1979 that percentage-
even while cigarette units grew from 177 bil-
lion to 402 billion-had been reduced to
63.8% as we broadened our base through
the acquisition and grobvff of non-tobacco
businesses.
Our growth continued throughout the
decade, without interruption, and shows
every sign of continuing momentum as we
move into the 80s. In fact, one of the com-
pany's primary needs now is to expand its
production facilities to meet the current and
projected demand for its products.
Nineteen seventy-nine was the 26th con-
secutive year in which our performance
resulted in record operating revenues, net
earnings, and earnings per share.
Operating revenues were $8.3 billion, an
increase of 25.2% from 1978; net income
rose 24.3% to $507.9 million; and earnings
per share reached $4.08, a gain of 20.7%-
even though there were 3.7 million addi-
tional average shares outstanding.
The company declared dividends of $1.25
per share, an increase of 22.0% over the
previous year. This was the 14th time in the
last 12 years that the company has raised
its dividend and the 52nd consecutive
year in which dividends were paid.
Our worldwide cigarette business
accounted for the majority of the company's
revenue and earnings gains for the year.
Philip Morris U.S.A:s cigarette unit sales
increased 5.0% over the prior year to 177
billion, and increased the company's share
of the U.S. market from 27.8% to approxi-
mately 29% in 1979. Philip Morris Interna-
tional had a notably successful year with
cigarette unit sales increasing 12.0% to 225
billion units. Our share of the estimated 3.7
trillion unit world market, excluding the
United States, rose to about 6% from 5.5%.
The continued growth of our brewing
operations provided the other major ingre-
dient in our 1979 success. The Miller Brew-
ing Company shipped 35.8 million barrels in
1979, an increase of 14.5%. Miller's market
share moved up from 18.9% to about 21 %.

I
For The Seven-Up Company, 1979 was a
difficult year of transitlon. We restructured
the Seven-Up organization, adding new per-_
sonnel to strengthen both our marketing and
research capabilities and our relationships
with bottlers in the United States, Canada,
and Puerto Rico. In addition, Seven-Up
International was integrated into Philip
Morris International in order to take full
advantage of the latter's long experience in
the worldwide marketplace.
Worldwide extract sales for Seven-Up
were up slightly over the previous year but
earnings were impacted by the moves
which were designed to build a stronger
Seven-Up for the future.
As in the early stages of our Miller acquisi-
tion, we do not expect Seven-Up to be a
significant contributor to our profits for a few
years. But, we do not believe that this will
adversely affect the trend lines of the cor-
poration's overall performance.
Philip Morris Industrial and the Mission
Viejo Company both had a good year with
their 1979 revenues increasing 13.4% and
22.1 °o, respectively, over 1978.
In 1979, Philip Morris' capital expenditures
totaled $632 million for new production facil-
ities and the installation of new capital
equipment. During the year, construction
began on a new cigarette manufacturing
facility in North Carolina, and plans were
announced for a new Administration and
Technical Center in Richmond, Virginia,
which will support our worldwide tobacco
operations. Internationally, cigarette manu-
facturing plants are being constructed or
expanded in several locations, including
West Berlin, Germany, and Bergen op
Zoom, the Netherlands, In NewYork, prog-
ress was made on the erection of a new
corporate headquarters building at Park
Avenue and 42nd Street.
A new Miller brewery in Albany, Georgia,
began production late in the year. Another
brewery in Irwindale, California, commenced
production in January-ot 1980. Other Miller
facilities were expanded or improved, and
plans for a new brewery near Trenton, Ohio,
were announced during the year.
Capital expansion programs will result in
the expenditure of about $850 million in
1980, and from 1980 through 1984, capital
expenditures are projected to be approxi-
mately $3.5 billion.
During the year, three new members were
elected to the Board of Directors: William H.
Donaldson, Dean of the Graduate School of
Organization and Management, Yale Univer-
sity; Jerry Apodaca, former Governor of
New Mexico and now Chairman of the Presi-
dent's Council on Physical Fitness and
Sports; and Shepard P. Pollack, vice presi-
-dent of Philip Morris Incorporated and presi-
dent of Philip Morris U.S.A.
Richard W Dammann, a member of the
Board for more than 20 years, retired as a
director in 1979. We are deeply indebted to
him for his contributions over the years. He
is now a Director Emeritus and continues in
that capacity to advise the company.
Dr. John C. Sawhill resigned as a director
during the year to become Deputy Secretary
of the U.S. Department of Energy. ,
Philip Morris U.S.A.
Philip Morris U.S.A. in 1979 achieved nota-
ble progress on many fronts.
Setting new records, revenues increased
13.5% over 1978, and operating income
grew 23.4% over the previous year. Ciga-
rette unit sales reached a new high of 177
billion, an increase of 8.5 billion units over
1978 sales. Our market share also set a
new high of approximately 29% in 1979, up
from 27.8% in 1978. Nineteen seventy-nine
was the 13th consecutive year in which
Philip Morris U.S.A. led the industry in unit
gains and market share growth.
Marlboro strengthened its position as the
best-selling cigarette brand in the United
States and the world; Benson & Hedges
100's maintained its ranking as the leading
100mm cigarette; and Merit became the
leader among low-tar brands-the fastest-
growing cigarette category.
Merit has continued to grow steadily from
its introduction four years ago to a level that
enabled this brand to contribute $355 million
to our operating revenues in 1979. A new
brand extension, Virginia Slims Lights in a
crush-proof purse pack, was successfully
introduced in the fourth quarter. With Virginia
Slims already the top-selling cigarette
made especially for women, Virginia Slims
Lights appeals to the growing number of
women smokers with a preference for low-
tar cigarettes.
Philip Morris U.S.A. produces six major
brands in the low-tar category: Merit,
Benson & Hedges 100's Lights, Marlboro
Lights, Parliament Lights, Saratoga 120's,
and Virginia Slims Lights.
The Philip Morris Research Center in
Richmond continued its many programs
dealing with tobacco science. Virginia Slims
Lights, Regular and Menthol, are additional
5

examples of our capabflity to develop
low-tar products with taste that earn
rapid consumer acceptance.
Construction commenced on the central
power plant and leaf tobacco warehouses
for our new cigarette manufacturing facility
in Cabarrus County, North Carolina. It is
expected to begin production in early 1983
by which time our present facilities will be
insufficient to meet the projected demand
for our products. We continue to purchase
the most modern, high-speed cigarette
making and packing equipment for our
Richmond and Louisville manufacturing
facilities. This will increase the productivity
of our people and our plants.
Late in the year, we announced plans to
construct a major Administration and Techni-
cal Center adjacent to our Richmond facili-
ties. This project is a result of rapid growth
in the size and the technical complexity
of our worldwide cigarette business over the
last decade and the associated growth
of a highly skilled staff.
These investments reflect the continuing
confidence of Philip Morris in the cigarette
industry and our ability to make further prog-
ress in this industry.
All ten labor union locals at our Richmond
and Louisville manufacturing facilities
signed an innovative nine-year master
agreement which stipulates that binding
arbitration will be used to settle any dif-
ferences which cannot be resolved through
negotiation. The chief purpose of the agree-
ment is to avert possible work stoppages,
thereby assuring the company and its
employees stable and undisturbed produc-
tion and employment. The result should be
substantial gains in productivity, with
increased wages and benefits for employ-
ees as a consequence.
Energy conservation continued to have
high priority at our Richmond and Louisville
plants. Our new facilities are being
designed from the ground up to be highly
energy-efficient and will use coal as their
basic fuel. Philip Morris U.S.A. made a five-year
grant to Virginia Polytechnic Institute to
support advanced training for state agricul-
tural extension agents, reflecting our convic-
tion that excellence in tobacco products
begins with the grower.
Philip Morris International
Operating revenues and operating income
again advanced to record levels, respec-
tively up 42,5% and 38.2% over 1978.
Cigarette unit sales reached 225 billion
units, an increase of 12.0% against an _
increase of approximately 3% for the inter-
national market as a whole (excluding the
U.S.). Export sales increased 16.7%, and we
maintained our position as the leading ex-
porter of cigarettes from the United States.
During 1979, Philip Morris marketed more
than 160 different cigarette brands in more
than 170 countries and territories through 27
manufacturing and marketing affiliates, 36
licensees, and regional export sales organi-
zations. With unit sales continuing to grow
rapidly, our market share has reached 15%
or higher in over 20 countries. With about 6%
of the total 3.7 trillion unit international mar-
ket, Philip Morris has substantial opportuni-
ties for future growth.
Marlboro continued to grow, strengthen-
ing its position as the world's best-selling
cigarette. International unit sales of Merit
increased 34% in 1979. Sales of the brands
for which Philip Morris purchased overseas
rights in 1978 from the Liggett Group also
showed good volume growth. A broad
range of national as well as regional brands
attuned to differing taste preferences
around the world accounted for about half of
Philip Morris International's unit volume.
Philip Morris Europe/Middle East/Africa
posted record unit sales, operating reve-
nues, and operating income. In West Ger-
many, unit volume of Philip Morris GmbH
increased 31 % versus 1.5% for the industry,
and Marlboro, moving from third to second
place among the country's best-selling
brands, had a market share of close to 12%
by year's end. Marlboro also had strong
sales gains in virtually all European markets
and in several countries of the Middle East.
Merit achieved excellent sales increases in
France, Italy, Norway, and Belgium.
We continued to make progress on our
major capital expansion programs at Ber-
gen op Zoom, the Netherlands, and in West
Berlin, to help meet the fast-growing
demand for Philip Morris products in
Europe. Modernization of our facilities in
Brussels and Munich will also provide
needed capacity increases.
Our Swiss affiliate, Fabriques deTabac
Reunies S.A., is the leading tobacco com-
pany in Switzerland. FTR's low-tar brands-
Muratti 2000, Muratti Extra Mild, and Brun-
ette Extra-performed well in this segment.
6

In Italy, several major Philip Morris brands
-Marlboro, Merit, Muratti Ambassador, Philip
Morris Multifilter 100's, Diana-recorded
strong volume growth, increasing the com-
pany's overall market share.
The Latin Americalberia region set new
records in unit sales, operating revenues,
and operating income.
Marlboro achieved significant unit gains in
Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Argentina,
and export markets. A licensing agreement
for the production of Marlboro in Portugal
was signed with Tabaqueira E.P
In Brazil, unit volume and market share
increased, and operating losses were
reduced. Galaxy, the country's first low-tar
brand, and Monterey posted particularly
good gains. Philip Morris continues to
improve its position in the higher priced seg-
ments of the market. We expect that with our
basic infrastructure in place, profitability in
time will be achieved in this large market.
Lark, acquired in the 1978 purchase of the
overseas business of the Liggett Group,
continued its growth trend in Ecuador, main-
taining its position as that country's best-
selling brand. Our affiliate, Tabacalera
Andina S.A., completed construction of a
new and larger stemmery in Guayaquil.
In Argentina, our affiliate, Massalin y
Celasco S.A.C.e I., announced its intention
to merge with Manufactura de Tabacos
Imparciales S.A.I.C.A. and Manufactura de
Tabacos ParticularVF. Grego S.A. Comple-
tion of the merger is expected during 1980,
subject to government approvals.
Our Panamanian affiliate, Tabacalera
Nacional S.A., closed its old facility in Pan-
ama City and began production in its new
cigarette plant inTocumen.
In Spain, Fortuna, a blended cigarette
jointly developed by Philip Morris and Taba-
calera S.A., the state tobacco company,
posted record sales in 1979 and achieved a
12% share of the total market.
In 1979, Philip Morris Asia achieved rec-
ord unit sales, operating revenues, and
operating income. _:
Record export sales to Asian markets
included major volume gains by Marlboro in
Hong Kong and Singapore. Philip Morris
continued to be the largest exporter of ciga-
rettes to Japan, with Lark the leading
imported brand in that country. Our licensee
in the Philippines posted record sales of
locally produced Marlboro.
In India, to comply with that country's
Foreign Exchange Regulations Act, Philip
Morris reduced its equity holding in Godfrey
Phillips, India, Ltd., to 40%. In a related
move, the Modi Group, an Indian company,
became a stockholder of Godfrey Phillips.
Philip Morris and Modi will work together to
expand and modernize the company's
operations.
Operating revenues and unit sales of Ben-
son & Hedges (Canada) Inc. exceeded
those of the previous year, aided by the
growth of MarkTen Lights which achieved
wider distribution throughout Canada. Ben-
son & Hedges 100's Lights was introduced
to take further advantage of the growing
mild segment of the market.
In Australia, cigarette unit volume and
operating revenues increased as new mar-
keting strategies, including the introduction
of new brands and line extensions, success-
fully countered price competition. Peter
Jackson 25's moved into second position in
the rapidly growing segment featuring 25
cigarettes to a pack. To further improve our
position in this segment, we introduced a
new brand, Longbeach25's.
Lindeman (Holdings) Limited, the wine-
making subsidiary of Philip Morris (Austra-
lia) Limited, increased sales and strength-
ened its position as the country's leading
wine company.
Philip Morris International entered the soft
drinks business in 1979 as Seven-Up Inter-
national became an operating division of
Philip Morris International.
Seven-Up International now markets the
7UP brand in more than 90 countries out-
side the United States, Canada, and Puerto
Rico. Product distribution and sales are
achieved through franchised bottlers and
distributors.
- The 7UP brand showed strong market
volume growth overall in international mar-
kets, with particularly significant gains in
Mexico, Argentina, and the Philippines.
Encouraging progress was also made in
several new markets, including Greece and
Egypt. Seven-Up offers significant growth
potential internationally as the worldwide
consumer demand for high-quality soft
drinks increases.
Although uncertainties persist in interna-
tional trade and monetary affairs, the pros-
pects for Philip Morris International remain
excellent. Our unit sales continue to gain in
country after country. With the advantages of
experienced management and geographic-
ally well-situated operations, we are in a
good position to capitalize on the steadily
rising demand for our products.

Miller Brewing Company
In 1979, the Miller Brewing Company also
set new records. Operating revenues
increased 21.9%, and operating income
rose 20.4% over 1978.
Including imported brands, the U.S. brew-
ing industry sold about 172 million barrels
during the year, an increase of 3.9%. Of this
total, Miller sold 35.8 million barrels, an
increase of 14.5% over 1978. Continued
strong consumer demand caused retail
sales of Miller products to increase at an
even higher rate. Miller continues to rank a
strong second among U.S. brewers, with a
market share of about 21 %, up from 18.9%
in 1978.
Miller High Life maintained its position as
the country's second-largest-selling beer.
Lite, which dominates the lowered-calorie
segment, continued its success story.
Lowenbrau further solidified its position in
the super-premium segment, ending the
year with an improving sales trend.
The growing demand for Miller products
has led to a formidable program to expand
brewing capacity. During the year, construc-
tion continued on a 10 million barrel brewery
at Albany, Georgia, and a 5 million barrel
brewery at Irwindale, California, which will
replace the 2 million barrel brewery in
Azusa. Albany began production late in
1979, and Irwindale commenced production
in January 1980. Expansion of the Fulton,
NewYork, and Eden, North Carolina,
breweries, each to 10 million barrels of
capacity, moved toward completion.
For the past seven years, Miller has been
unable to meet demand for its products on a
continuing basis. With the Albany and Irwin-
dale breweries coming on-stream, we can
adopt more orderly and efficient production
schedules.
Production began at the new can manu-
facturing plant at Reidsville, North Carolina.
The plant of our Central New York Bottle
Company at Sennett, New York, was
expanded to an annual-capacity of 990 mil-
lion units.
In December, Miller announced that Tren-
ton, Ohio, will be the site of a new $412 mil-
lion, 10 million barrel brewery, with construc-
tion to begin in 1980. The sum expended
through 1979 to expand and modernize
Miller's facilities totaled more than $1.3 billion.
Legislation regulating container use and
disposal continued to be proposed in vari-
ous jurisdictions across the country. Miller
considers most such proposals seriously
inadequate in that they address no more
than 20°% of the litter problem and much less
of the solid waste problem and yet mislead
the public to believe that both problems will
be largely solved.
The Seven-Up Company
For The Seven-Up Company, 1979 was a sig-
nificant year, prncipally characterized by a
major restructuring program designed to posi-
tion the Seven-Up organization for the future.
Seven-Up International moved to Philip
Morris International (see footnote page 1);
The Seven-Up Company is now responsible
for operations within the United States,
Canada, and Puerto Rico. This reorganiza-
tion was largely accomplished in 1979, and
a substantial investment was made in ex-
panded marketing, research, and person-
nel programs. As a result of this investment
spending, The Seven-Up Company's
operating income was reduced.
Advertising was the principal component
of Seven-Up's enlarged marketing program.
The campaign-"America'sTurning 7UP"-
was intended not only to improve the
awareness and product positioning of 7UP
but also to assist our bottlers in improving
distribution and retail availability of our prod-
ucts. The campaign, now featuring endorse-
ments by such prominent athletes as Earvin
"Magic" Johnson, Larry Bird, John McEnroe,
and Earl Campbell, has created substantial
consumer awareness. It has also helped to
strengthen our relationship with our bottlers.
In addition, Seven-Up has restructured
and increased its staff-particularly its field
sales force-and has substantially improved
its product research activities.
In March, William E. Winter, previously
president, became chairman, and Edward
W Frantel, previously vice president-sales
of Miller, was appointed president and chief
executive officer of Seven-Up. During the
remainder of the year, a number of other
organizational changes were made to
establish the marketing, distribution, quality
control, finance, and planning organizations
needed for further growth consistent with
Philip Morris' long-term objectives. To the
extent that new senior positions could not be
filled by existing Seven-Up personnel, they
were largely filled by people from other
divisions of Philip Morris.
Also during the past year, a sweeping
graphics design program was begun, and
the resulting new graphics will be introduced
in the spring of 1980. In addition, a new
8

distribution planning department was
established to assist bottlers.
Seven-Up's own bottling operations in
Phoenix, Houston, Norfolk, and Toronto reg-
istered a sharp improvement in 1979.
The Seven-Up Company has a variety of
subsidiaries that offer interesting potential
for the future:
Warner-Jenkinson Company is the
country's leading producer of food color-
ings, with major food processors as its prin-
cipal customers.
The Ventura Coastal Corporation is a
processor of lemon products, including
lemon oil used in Seven-Up products and
about half of all frozen lemonade produced
in the United States. Its reconstituted lemon
juice is marketed under the Golden Crown
label. In addition, Ventura owns and
operates lemon ranches.
Oregon Freeze Dry Foods, Inc. is one of
the country's leading producers of freeze-
dried foods. It produces foods for consumer
use in leisure activities and ingredients for
the food industry. In addition, the company
makes products for use by the crews of
nuclear submarines and manned space
missions, and as a replacement for the tradi-
tional U.S. Army "C" rations. A second plant
is under construction in Oregon.
Marbert Incorporated is fundamentally a
manufacturer of flavors, and its operations
will soon be merged with those of Warner-
Jenkinson.
Philip Morris Industrial
Philip Morris Industrial completed the best
year in its history in both operating revenues;
which rose 13.4%, and operating income,
up 21.6%. The four groups which make up
Philip Morris Industrial-Chemical, Paper,
Tissue, and Packaging-each contributed
to this performance.
The Chemical Group, which makes spe-
cialty chemicals for the graphic arts and
textile industries as well as powder coating
for metals, achieved its increase in income
as a result of the performances of Wikolin-
Polymer Chemie GmbH in West Germany,
Polymer Industries' Adhesives and Liquid
Coatings division, and the Armstrong
Products Company.
The Paper Group, which produces fine
printing, technical specialty, and glassine
papers, generated a substantial increase in
income due to the continued strong demand
for the products of the Plainwell Paper Com-
pany and the Nicolet Paper Company.
TheTissue Group, following a record year
in 1978, continued to solidify its position in
the rapidly growing food service industry.
Start-up costs of a new de-inking facility,
which will enable the group to use 100%
recycled paper as its major raw material,
impacted earnings in 1979; however, signifi-
cant benefits from this facility are expected
in 1980.
The Packaging Group's increase in
income reflects results at the Fort Atkinson,
Wisconsin, plant, which produces bottle
carriers for the brewing industry, and at the
Colonial Heights, Virginia, plant, which
makes cigarette packaging materials. Both
facilities are new, with 1979 the first year of
operations unimpeded by start-up costs.
The group's flexible packaging division,
which had experienced severe pricing pres-
sures in 1978, also showed improvement.
Mission Viejo Company
Mission Viejo Company recorded its second
best year ever in 1979, exceeded only by
1977. Operating revenues and income
increased 22.1 % and 13.5%, respectively,
over 1978. Even though interest rates on
home mortgages reached unprecedented
highs during the year and the money supply
remained tight, sales of homes by the com-
pany totaled 1,497.
Of particular note was buyer acceptance
of three new neighborhoods surrounding
the new 124-acre Lake Mission Viejo in
California: Mallorca, a medium-density con-
dominium project; Galicia, single-family
detached homes for growing families; and
Andalusia, single-family residences for
families with older children.
Plans for the development of Aliso Viejo,
our 6,619-acre ranch near Mission Viejo,
California, were approved by the Orange
County Planning Commission. Zoning
approval was granted in January 1980, and
initial development is scheduled for later in
the year, with first home deliveries planned
for 1982. A construction program of 20,000
residential units, as well as industrial and
commercial development, will extend
beyond the year 2000.
In Colorado, our 22,000-acre Highlands
Ranch just south of Denver received zoning
approval for 30,000 homes and industrial
and commercial development covering
approximately 900 acres. Shortly thereafter,
the company exercised its option to pur-
chase the property. Initial infrastructure work
is scheduled to begin in late 1980. Deliveries
of homes will begin in 1981 and continue
over the next 25 years.

The Public Interest
Through the 1970s, Philip Morris continued
to deepen and expand its social commit-
ments. At Philip Morris,, the social and busi-
ness areas are not separate entities. More
than ever, we believe in the correctness of
our guiding rules: our business activities
must make social sense, and our social
activities must make business sense.
In 1979, Philip Morris was a company on
the move, and our financial vigor had and
will continue to have important social con-
sequences: new jobs and expanded oppor-
tunities for our own employees, larger tax
bases for the communities in which we
operate, and increased orders for suppliers.
Three moves made toward the end of the year
exemplify this social-business connection:
On December 10, Miller Brewing
announced selection of Trenton, Ohio, as the
site for a new $412 million brewery, repre-
senting the largest capital investment ever
made at one time by Philip Morris in a new
production facility. Governor James A.
Rhodes of Ohio hailed the move as meaning
"increased prosperity for the entire area and
for our state."
Nine days later, Philip Morris U.S.A.
announced plans for the construction of a
$41 million Administration and Technical
Center in Richmond, Virginia. This move
prompted Manuel Deese, City Manager of
Richmond, to issue a statement describing
Philip Morris as "an outstanding example
of a fine corporate citizen."
Five days later, Mission Viejo exercised an
option to acquire the 22,000-acre Highland
Ranch south of Denver, where over the next
25 years the company plans a new commu-
nity of 30,000 homes, leaving 60% of the
area as non-urban open space.
One other example is in the area of water
quality improvement: Philip Morris Indus-
trial's Wisconsin Tissue Mills has established
a standard for paper mills unequaled today
by any other in the United States. And in
1979, it earned its fourth award for water
quality improvement.
A Philip Morris unit must be an exemplary
corporate citizen wherever it operates.
One quick measure of our efforts is job
creation, We entered the 1970s with 25,000
employees around the world and began
1980 with almost 65,000.
However, Philip Morris continues to
operate in a climate of hostility engendered
by those who would legislate cigarettes out
of existence and who are bent on making
smoking socially unacceptable. In facing
these issues, we try to respond with scien-
tific evidence and reason.
Nineteen hundred seventy-nine saw the
introduction in various state legislatures of
113 bills which sought to curtail smoking in
public places. Of these measures, 48 were
defeated, 8 were enacted, 57 were unre-
solved.
Miller Brewing also mounts a strong
governmental affairs program these days. It
has fought successfully on the state level
against legislation that would narrowly
define the size of the containers in which
beer can be sold.
Concern about alcoholism in the United
States has led to proposals that health-warn-
ing labels and further restrictions than now
exist be placed on the advertising, availabil-
ity, sale, and consumption of alcoholic bev-
erages, including beer which is often
described as the "beverage, of moderation."
Miller believes such measures would penal-
ize the industry without helping to solve the
problem. It has, therefore, helped fund the
efforts of the Health Education Foundation of
Washington, D.C., to develop an alcohol-use
education program directed at college-age
youths. We feel that positive steps of this
kind are preferable to blanket restrictions
that tend to vest alcohol with the glamour of
"forbidden fruit" and are often unenforce-
able and even conducive to law-breaking.
Philip Morris again significantly contrib-
uted to the U.S. balance of trade. As a
group, the U.S. tobacco industry's net posi-
tive contribution in 1979 totaled nearly $1.7
billion, due to exports of cigarettes, com-
bined with substantial overseas shipments
of tobacco and other cigarette manufactur-
ing materials.
Completion last year of theTokyo Round
of the General Agreement on Tariffs and
Trade was an important step forward in fur-
ther liberalization of world trade. Elimination
of the European Community's discriminatory
tariff affecting high-quality U.S. tobacco will
provide an opportunity for increased
exports of higher leaf grades following appli-
cation of the lower tariff in 1980. There has
also been a significant reduction in the tariff
on raw leaf cigarette tobacco exported from
the United States to Australia.
Philip Morris International's operations
around the world contribute to economic
and social development of host countries
through the transfer of management and
10

production technotogy, capital investment,
and extensive employee training programs.
These factors are particularly significant in
developing countries, where equity in vir-
tually all our affiliates is shared with local
investors.
In 1979, Philip Morris International affili-
ates continued their active support of com-
munity and cultural programs.
Our Swiss affiliate's Brunette Foundation
contributed to ten conservation programs
and organized ecological exhibitions
throughout Switzerland to promote protec-
tion of wildlife and the natural environment.
In Australia, Philip Morris Limited helped
establish and expand the programs of the
Industry Group to support Keep Australia
Beautiful.
Philip Morris and our affiliate in the Domin-
ican Republic made substantial contribu-
tions of finds and food to aid victims of Hur-
ricane David.
Numerous affiliate educational contribu-
tions included scholarships to help needy
students in eightVenezuelan universities, an
MBA Scholarship at the Indian Institute of
Management in Ahmedabad, and funding
for construction of a student center at the
Instituto Superior de Agricultura in the
Dominican Republic.
Our affiliate in Germahy organized a con-
temporary sculpture competition and exhi-
bition; and the Philip Morris Arts Grant in
Australia supported a major exhibition of
Australian photography. A substantial Philip
Morris grant funded a series of photography
workshops in Venice during the exhibition
"Venezia'79-La Fotografia" held under
the auspices of UNESCO.
Our profit performance in the 1970s has
enabled us to play a much larger role in
the nonprofit world. Last year, Philip Morris
made charitable contributions to 497 dif-
ferent organizations. This compares with con-
tributions made to 126 organizations in 1969.
These examples were but a few of our
1979 activities which attest to the extent and
variety of our commitment:. -
Support of the "Challenge of Excellence"
program of the Future Farmers of America.
Grants to the Performing Arts Center in
Richmond, the Virginia Foundation for Inde-
pendent Colleges, and the Science
Museum of Virginia.
The funding and publishing of a pioneer-
ing booklet, "A Guide to Hispanic Organiza-
tions," which is the first directory of its kind
ever published.
The underwriting of another booklet, "You
Have a LotTo Win," published by the
National Women's Political Caucus, which is
a guide for women who want to become del-
egates to the national political conventions
of the Republican and Democratic parties.
Philip Morris is a major corporate sup-
porter of the arts. In 1979, we sponsored a
traveling exhibition titled "A Century of
Ceramics in the United States, 1878-1978,"
the most extensive collection of American
pottery and china ever assembled.
We also bring the excitement of the cre-
ative arts to our workplaces. Our new brew-
ery in Eden, North Carolina, for example,
has a collection of works by local artists.
Concern for employees must be a com-
ponent of all social responsibility programs.
We have in place at Philip Morris benefits
programs that are among the best in U.S.
industry and are constantly being improved.
We also continue to make strides in expand-
ing opportunities for our female and minority
group employees. Minorities now fill 12.9%
of positions classified as "officials and man-
agers;" women now make up 11.3% of that
category and hold 24.7% of all our profes-
sional jobs. Our combined sales forces are
now 18.5% minority, 17.7% female. In the
United States, one out of every four employ-
ees is amember of a minority group.
The National Bankers Association, the
association of minority-owned banks, pre-
sented Philip Morris with its 1979 Corporate
Award in recognition of our support of minor-
ity banking institutions. We now maintain de-
posits in 60 minority-owned banks and have
lines of credit with 40 of these institutions.
A book that underlined our commitments
was published early in 1980. Working in the
Twenty-First Century, published by John
Wiley & Sons, is the edited proceedings of a
symposium funded by the company and
held last April at our Richmond Operations
Center. The Colgate Darden Graduate '
School of Business at the University of Vir-
ginia and the Wharton School of the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania sponsored the sympo-
sium, which brought together some 350
leaders from business, labor, government,
and education to discuss the important
issues which will confront us as we move
toward the next century.
Being involved in such activities is what
Philip Morris is all about. We care about the
future, not only in terms of the company's
interests but in terms of the interests of
employees, of working men and women
generally, and of society as a whole.
11

The Seventies and the Eighties
The end of one decade and the beginning
of another call for an appraising look in
both directions.
To look back first, the 1970s clearly were
extremely good years for Philip Morris.
Operating revenues rose from $1,142 mil-
lion in 1969 to $8,303 million in1979, an
increase of 627%, or 21.9% annually com-
pounded.
Net earnings rose from $58 million to $508
million, an increase of 771%, or 24.2%
annually compounded.
Dividends declared rose from $0.244 per
share to $1.25 per share, or 17.7% annually
compounded.
Ten years ago in this company's largest
and most profitable market, Philip Morris
U.S.A. held a 15% share. Nineteen seventy
was the year all television and radio adver-
tising of cigarettes was terminated. Philip
Morris U.S.A. now holds approximately 29%
of this market, with the total market itself,-in
units, almost 20% larger now than it was then:
For Philip Morris International, the ten-year
story has been much the same. Revenues
have increased at a compounded rate of
26.0%, operating income has increased at
21 % compounded and market share has
more than doubled.
During 1970, Philip Morris acquired full
control of Miller Brewing Company. The next
few years were a period of trial and prepara-
tion during which Miller revenues remained
flat while operating income dropped stead-
ily. But by then the early learning years had
begun to produce results, and the second
half of the decade has been a period of
spectacular success for Miller. In 1979, bar-
rel shipments were more than 7 times larger
than in 1970, and operating income was
almost 16 times as great. Market share has
quintupled to about 21% of a market which,
in units, itself grew more than 40% during
the decade. In 1970, Miller ranked seventh
among domestic brewers; today it is a
strong second.
For our other operating companies,
Philip Morris Industrial and Mission Viejo
Company, progress during the decade
was highly satisfactory. For The Seven-Up
Company, acquired by Philip Morris in
June, 1978, it is obviously too soon to make
comparisons.
In assessing the prospects for the 1980s,
an appropriate point of departure is to
restate briefly the kind of company Philip
Morris is.
To begin with, Phllip Morris is an interna-
tional processor, packager, and marketer of
agricultural products grown by independent
farmers. Its most important raw materials-
tobacco for Philip Morris U.S.A. and for
export; grains and hops for Miller; lemons
and limes for Seven-Up-are grown on
American soil. Much of the raw material
used by Philip Morris Industrial is supplied
by our forests. For Mission Viejo, the chief
raw material is the American land itself.
Second, in the manufacture of its prod-
ucts Philip Morris relies heavily on technol-
ogy. During the 1970s, we completed or
began the construction of many new plants
in the United States and abroad, and made
major renovations of existing facilities. We
constantly look for ways to improve the qual-
ity and uniformity of our products, and to be
more cost effective in their manufacture,
Third, our principal markets are huge.
Cigarettes, beer, and soft drinks each have
retail sales in excess of $16 billion in the
United. States alone. The products we sell
are all low-priced, high-turnover items that
are part of life's simple pleasures. All are
widely known and their sales highly respon-
sive to effective advertising, packaging, and
retail display. The buyers and users of these
products number in the tens of millions daily
around the world. Even adverse general
econorriic conditions have not had more
than a short-term effect on their purchases.
Essentially, then, Philip Morris enters the
1980s as a company whose business is built
on a strong, four-sided foundation: agricul-
ture, high technology, large consumer mar- _
kets, and marketing skill.
In the uncertainties and even hazards
which many predict for the decade ahead,
this combination of attributes makes the out-
look for Philip Morris most reassuring. Yet in
this generally bright picture are patches of
shadow, about which brief comments are in
order.
Despite the expenditure of hundreds of
millions of dollars by government, the
tobacco industry, and other research groups
over more than 25 years, no conclusive
clinical or medical proof of any cause-and-
effect relationship between cigarette smoking
and disease has yet been discovered.
The anti-smoking activists have recently
given emphasis to the effect of smoking on
non-smokers in airplanes, restaurants, and
other public areas. Although the weight of
scientific evidence, as reported by the Sur-
geon General, is that ambient cigarette
smoke is not harmful to the health of non-

smokers, in some state and local jurisdic-
tions restrictive laws and ordinances have
been passed. Others have been fended off
or defeated.
Anti-smoking activities at international
levels took a_new turn in 1979. Proposals for
bans on cigarette_advertising and promotion
increased in 1979, although no significant
restrictions were imposed in our key mar-
kets. Total advertising bans in Italy, Finland,
Norway, and Singapore have not reduced
cigarette sales, and sales in Eastern
European countries have risen steadily
over many years despite the absence of
advertising.
In view of what has been achieved and
what remains to be achieved, we see years
of growth ahead for Philip Morris through the
eighties and beyond.
The company's continuing growth
explains our spending substantial sums
each year to build new plants, upgrade
existing ones, install new equipment, and
increase inventories. Through the mid-
seventi'es, our capital expenditures moved
in the range of $220 million to $280 million
annually. in 1978, they more than doubled
from the previous year, to $566 million. In
1979, they increased by another 12%, to
$632 million.
Most of our capital investment is to meet
the demand for our growing brands. We
expect this growth to continue, and we are
continuing to prepare for it.
More than most large companies, Philip
Morris has benefited and continues to bene-
fit from the unusual stability and depth of our
management. Essentially the same team
now running the company has moved
upward together through the ranks for more
than 20 years.
It is therefore fortunate that the growth of
Philip Morris through the 1970s was such
that new opportunities, which would both
test and reward able managers, arose
almost constantly. As a result, mainly
through training and development, the com-
pany has in place a strong cadre of young
managers just below the senior level who
are thoroughly prepared to assume the
responsibilities of those whom they will grad-
ually replace during the 1980s.
Maintaining our growth record throughout
the 1970s was a difficult and challenging
task, particularly in view of an increasingly
complex external climate. That climate will
become more, rather than less, complex as
we move into the 1980s, but we intend to
exert a maximum effort to continue our rec-
ord. And, the dedication and commitment
to excellence that our 65,000 employees
around the world bring to our company
enable us to enter the 1980s with confidence.

PHILIP MORRIS
INTERNATIONAL
1 Philip Morris International pur-
chases high-quality tobaccos,
including U.S.-grown flue-cured
and burley, for use in more than
160 cigarette brands.
2 Record sales of Marlboro, Lark,
and other brands to worldwide
duty-free outlets and other export
markets strengthened Philip
Morris' position as the leading
exporter of cigarettes from the
United States.
3 Lark, acquired by Philip Morris
when it purchased the overseas
trademarks of the Liggett Group,
is Ecuador's best-selling
cigarette.
4 MarkTen L'egere, introduced
nationally in Canada early last
year, showed steady sales growth,
5 The Merit World Backgammon
Championship in Monte Carlo
and other special events are an
important part of Philip Morris'
worldwide community relations,
cultural, and sports programs.
6 Modernizing our European facili-
ties with a new generation of high-
speed equipment and continuing
factory expansion programs in
the Netherlands and West Ger-
many, will increase manufacturing
capacity to meet the growing
demand for our products.
7 Marlboro recorded strong unit
growth in the Middle East, including
Egypt and Saudi Arabia, and contin-
ued as the number-one selling
brand in Kuwait and Lebanon.
8 Lindeman (Holdings) Limited, the
company's wine affiliate in Austra-
lia, again increased sales and
maintained its leadership position
in the industry.
9 Seven-Up International, an
operating division of Philip Morris
International, reported strong
sales in Egypt.
10 Muratti 2000, a popular low-tar
brand on the Swiss market, helped
Fabriques deTabac Rbunies,
S.A. continue as the country's
leading cigarette company.
11 In West Germany, Philip Morris
GmbH again outperformed the
industry, and Marlboro became
the second-best-selling cigarette
in that large European market.
12 The rapid growth of exports of
U.S.-manufactured Marlboro to
Hong Kong and other Asian mar-
kets contributed to Philip Morris'
record unit volume in the region.
13 Galaxy, Brazil's first low-tar brand,
helped Philip Morris Brasileira S.A.
achieve record volume growth
and increase its market share.

MILLER BREWING
11
COMPANY
1 Miller Brewing Company uses
only the finest ingredients, includ-
ing malted barley and cereal
grain, Miller`s vendor rating system
ensures that all ingredients meet
our high quality standards.
2 Bottles on their way to the pas-
teurizer at Miller's Ft. Worth brew-
ery are inspected by brewery
workers as well as by sophisti-
cated quality-control equipment.
3 Malt scale hoppers-such as
these at Miller's Albany, Ga.,
brewery-funnel dry malted barley
into mash mixers where it is
mixed with water.
4 The liquid-called wort-is boiled
in copper kettles at Miller's Mil-
waukee plant to further blend and
condition the brew.
5 Milier's breweries use the latest
technology to help insure
the quality and uniformity of its
products, as this control room
picture shows.
12 6 Labeling equipment at Miller's
Fulton brewery can label up to
500 quart bottles, shown here,
per minute and 950 twelve oz.
bottles per minute.
7 Miller breweries have fully auto-
mated packaging systems, such
as this one at Miller's Eden, N.C.,
brewery.
8 Miller uses high-speed equipment,
such as this bottle filler at its Ft.
Worth, Tex., brewery to package
its products. The bottler is capa-
ble of filling up to 1,200 bottles in
one minute.
9 Miller, through its brands, sponsors
13 four national amateur sports teams,
including the U.S. CyclingTeam,
which competed in the Lowen-
brau National Cycling Champion-
ships.
10 Each bottle, can, and keg of
Miller's product is subjected to
more than 150 quality checks
before it reaches the consumer to
make sure it meets Miller's high
standards.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
In 1979, Philip Morris achieved its 26th consecutive
year of revenue and earnings growth. Despite a much
larger operating base, the 25.2% revenue increase
and the 24_3% net earnings increase in 1979 were
above the average annual growth rates of the last
decade (Chart 1).
In February, 1979, the Board of Directors declared a
22% increase in the common stock dividend to an
annual rate of $1.25 per share. This represented the
12th consecutive year of increase. Our dividends
declared as a percent of net earnings rose slightly to
almost 31 % in 1979, the highest payout ratio since
1970. Over the last ten years, dividend increases have
correlated closely to earnings growth despite a high
level of investment and capital expenditure (Chart 2).
In April, shareholders approved a two-for-one split-
up of our common stock in the form of a 100% stock
dividend. This action has broadened the appeal of our
common stock, with a 5% increase in the number of
stockholders since the split-up.
In excess of 90% of capital expenditures over the
next five years will provide for forecasted capacity
needs and productivity improvements. For the most
part these projects are investment opportunities with
high rates of return. They are being selectively and
carefully monitored to insure that capacity growth
closely correlates with the demand for our products.
In 1979, capital expenditures totaled $632 million. At
year-end, approximately 70% of our fixed assets were
less than five years old. We estimate expenditures of
$850 million in 1980 and approximately $3.5 billion
during the five year period from 1980 through 1984.
Funds from operations, which increased 24.9%
in 1979 and 25.7% annually over the last decade,
have provided solid support for our capital expendi-
ture program (Chart 3). In 1979, our internal funds
from operations reached $720 million. Approximately
29% of this total represented depreciation and
deferred income taxes which are primarily related to
capital expenditures. In essence, our expanding fixed
asset base is providing an increasingly larger portion
of the funds necessary for further capital expansion.
Although earnings growth has been impressive, even
more impressive has been the growth in funds from
operations. This was particularly true over the last five
years when annual increases in funds from operations
exceeded comparabl.e-.earnings increases by a full
four percentage points (Chart 4).
Total assets reached almost $6.4 billion in 1979. Our
net return on average total assets was an historically
high 10.2% in 1979 (Chart 5). This record was particu-
larly impressive in view of a 42% increase in the non-
productive construction-in-progress account, which
totaled $581 million at year-end.
Stockholders' equity reached almost $2.5 billion in
1979, a sixfold increase over the last decade. Never-
theless, our net return on average stockholders' equity
remained consistently high and exceeded 22% for the
first time (Chart 6).
Total debt last year advanced only $144 million. The
lower than anticipated increase in debt resulted pri-
marily from tight controls over our capital expendi-
tures and effective balance sheet management. Our
debt-to-equfty ratio improved from 1.12 to 1 in 1978 to
1.02 to 1. The ratio by year-end 1979 was below the
average of the last ten years (Chart 7). We expect a
decline in this ratio over the next five years.
During the second quarter, we completed a public
offering of $250 million in seven-year notes with an
annual interest rate of 9.55%. As a result, fixed interest
debt as a percentage of total debt increased to 72% at
year-end. By contrast, our fixed interest debt was 68%
of the total in 1978, 60% in 1977, and 55% in 1976. This
trend has been particularly important in view of the
recent rapid escalation in short-term interest rates.
During the year, we also increased our revolving
credit agreements with a number of banks from $550
million to $650 million, Credit availability through these
agreements and bank lines of credit comfortably
exceeds our needs in 1980. We may, however, issue
long term debt if the market becomes attractive.
Currently, Philip Morris maintains a solid "A' credit
rating and the highest ratings in the commercial
paper market.
Interest expense in 1979 slightly exceeded $200
million. This represented a substantial increase from
the $150 million expensed in 1978. However, our
coverage of interest expense last year, despite histor-
ically high rates, was at about the same level as the
average of the last ten years (Chart 8). In 1980, Finan-
cial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 34
requires that interest costs associated principally with
construction in progress be deferred and amortized
over the life of the assets. This statement will increase
the amount of assets on which interest will be capital-
ized in the future.
Our effective income tax rate declined from 45.2%
in 1978 to 43.9% in 1979. This primarily reflected a
decline in the domestic statutory income tax rate.
The dollar, helped in part by the credit-tightening
moves of the Federal Reserve in October, declined
only modestly against major European currencies last
year. Our multifaceted hedging program was again
successful in minimizing the effect of currency move-
ments. Last year, we incurred a small after-tax gain on
foreign currency transactions and translations.
Our extensive capital spending and investment pro-
gram and growth in working capital required net exter-
nal financing in each of the last eight years. Neverthe-
less, our financial condition is sound and will continue
to strengthen in the years ahead. Strong earnings and
cash flow momentum, experienced management and
proven operating policies, combined with the stability
of our industries, provide a solid basis for continued
growth at Philip Morris.

j ANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE SUMMARY OF OPERATIONS
The following analysis pertains to the latest two
years of the five-year summary of operating
results on the preceding page,
Operating Revenues
In 1979, consolidated operating revenues were
31,671 million (25.2%) higher than in 1978. Rev-
enues from worldwide sales of tobacco were up
$1,062 million (25.1 %), of which $427 million is
attributable to increased cigarette unit sales,
$327 million to increases in selling prices (includ-
ing increases in certain foreign excise tax rates),
$124 million to translation of foreign currencies
at average exchange rates in effect during 1979,
and $184 million to the reorganization of the
company's Brazilian operations in 1979. Operat-
ing revenues from beer sales were up $403
million (21.9%), with $259 million due to greater
volume and $144 million to price increases. The
Seven-Up Company was acquired in June,
1978, in a transaction accounted for as a pur-
chase, and its revenues for 1979 and 1978 are
included in other products. Of the total revenue
increase, $145 million was due to the inclusion
of Seven-Up for the full year in 1979 compared
with only seven months in 1978.
Consolidated operating revenues in 1978
were $1,430 million (27.5%) higher than in 1977.
Revenues from worldwide sales of tobacco
were up $738 million (21.1%), of which $322
million was attributable to increased cigarette
unit sales, $252 million to increases in selling
prices (including increases in certain foreign
excise tax rates), and $164 million to translation
of foreign currencies at average rates in effect
during 1978. Operating revenues from beer
sales were up $506 million (38.2%), with $385
million of the increase coming from greater vol-
ume and $121 million due to price increases.
The Seven-Up Company's revenues from June
1 of $186 million are included in 1978 revenues
from other products.
Cost and Expenses
Cost of sales, which inctudes cost of products
sold and federal and foreign excise taxes on
products sold, increased $1,203 million (25.4%)
in 1979 over 1978 and $981 million (26.1%) in
1978 over 1977. Cost of sales of tobacco
accounted for $724 million of the 1979 increase,
of which $303 million is attributable to volume,
$130 million to cost increases (including in-
creases in certain foreign excise tax rates),
$112 million to translation of foreign currencies,
and $179 million to the reorganization of the
company's Brazilian operations in 1979. Cost of
sales of beer increased $349 million in 1979,
of which $219 million is due to greater volume
and $130 million to cost increases. The inclusion
of Seven-Up for a full year in 1979 compared
with only seven months in 1978 accounted for
$79 million of cost increases.
The total cost of sales increase in 1978 over
1977 included increases of $467 million for
tobacco, $403 million for beer, and $102 million
for Seven-Up. Tobacco increases included
$241 million attributable to volume, $77 million
to cost increases (including increases in cer-
tain foreign excise tax rates), and $149 million
to translation of foreign currencies. The $403
million higher cost of beer included $325 mil-
lion from higher volume and $78 million of cost
increases.
Marketing, administrative and research costs
in 1979 were $264 million (28.3%) higher than -
in 1978 and $255 million (37.7%) higher in 1978
than in 1977, reflecting increases from growth
in operations, inflation, the effect of currency
translation, and the inclusion of Seven-Up for
a full year in 1979 compared with seven months
in 1978, and in 1979, expansion of Seven-Up's
marketing, research, and personnel programs.
Other Items
Equity in net earnings of unconsolidated sub-
sidiaries and affiliates increased $17.6 million in
1979 compared with 1978 and decreased $8.4
million (71.5%) in 1978 compared to 1977. The
1979 increase is principally attributable to a
reorganization of the company's Brazilian
operations during 1979. Previously, both manu-
facturing and marketing functions in Brazil
were combined in an unconsolidated subsidi-
ary in which the company had an 81% interest
with the balance held by a Brazilian state finan-
cial institution. A new, wholly-owned marketing
subsidiary has been established and has
acquired exclusive marketing rights in Brazil
for tobacco products manufactured by the
partly-owned subsidiary. Accordingly, opera-
tions of the marketing subsidiary are included
with those of the company and its other wholly-
owned subsidiaries, and equity in net earnings
of unconsolidated subsidiaries and affiliates
reflects only manufacturing results for the
partly-owned Brazilian subsidiary.
Interest expense in 1979 increased by $55
million (37.2%) over 1978 and was $48 million
(47.5%) higher in 1978 than in 1977, in both years
attributable to increased borrowings and higher
average interest rates.
The $61 million and $46 million increases in
income taxes in 1979 and 1978, respectively,
reflect the applicable taxes on the increased
income for those years. Reference is made to
the Notes to Consolidated Financial State-
ments for additional information.

market. The cost of leaf tobacco is determined
on an average cost basis, and the cost of other
inventories is determined generally on a first-in,
first-out basis. 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. The cost of
housing programs under construction repre-
sents the cost of land, including offtract
improvements, interest and property taxes,
and housing construction costs on sites cur-
rently under development.
Real estate operations
The cost of land, including offtract improve-
ments, interest and property taxes, is reported
as a noncurrent asset until a designated site is
placed into development. The amount of inter-
est capitalized is determined by the Com-
pany's average borrowing rate.
Offtract improvements are access roads,
utilities and other improvements, which are
essential to the development of a community,
but which are not directly attributable to the de-
velopment of a particular site, The cost of these
improvements is allocated to the salable acre-
age remaining in each project and is charged
to cost of sales when such acreage is sold.
Income taxes
The provision for income taxes is calculated on
reported pre-tax earnings. Certain items of
income and expense included in the financial
statements, principally depreciation, are
reported in different years in the tax returns in
accordance with applicable income tax laws.
The resulting difference between the financial
statement income tax provision and income
taxes currently payable is reported in the finan-
cial statements as deferred income taxes.
Investment tax credits are recognized currently
as a reduction in the provision for income taxes.
Provision is also made for federal income
taxes on the portion of undistributed earnings
of foreign subsidiaries and affiliates that is
expected to be remitted to the United States.
Property, plant and equipment
Maintenance and repairs are charged against
income, and expenditures for renewals and
improvements are capitalized. In order to pre-
sent more realistically the economic cost of a
constructed facility, the capitalized cost of the
facility includes interest and real estate taxes
incurred during the construction period. The
interest capitalized on construction of facilities
is determined by applying the Company's
average short-term borrowing rate to the
related construction balance. Industrial devel-
opment incentive grants are included in
income as realized.
Provision for depreciation of assets is
recorded by a charge against income at rates
considered adequate to amortize the cost of
such assets over their useful lives computed on
the straight-line method.
Pension plans
The Company and certain of its subsidiaries
have pension plans covering substantially all
their employees. Prior service costs, which are
being amortized over periods of up to thirty
years, and accrued pension costs are gener-
ally funded with independent trustees.

Capitalized Interest
The effect on pre-tax income of the policy to
capitalize interest was an increase of
$10,119,000 in 1979 and $4,517,000 in 1978
relating to major facilities and an increase of
$8,138,000 in 1979 and $4,961,000 in 1,978 relat-
ing to real estate operations. The combined
effect on net income was an increase of
$9,277,000 in 1979 and $4,590,000 in 1978.
Restrictions
Certain of the agreements covering long-term
debt contain restrictions with respect to the
payment of cash dividends on common stock
and to the purchase, redemption or retirement
of capital shares. At December 31, 1979,
approximately $950,000,000 of consolidated
earnings reinvested in the business was free of
such restrictions.
Other debt agreements specify minimum
amounts of working capital and limit the
amount of senior debt which may be issued.
At December 31, 1979, the Company was in
compliance with these agreements.
Stock Plans
Under the stockholder-approved 1977 Stock
Unit Plan, units with respect to 738,550 shares
of common stock of the Company remain avail-
able to be granted to employees of the Com-
pany or its affiliates. A stock unit entitles the
holder to purchase one share of common stock
at the market price at the date of grant, or to
receive the appreciation value (the excess of
the market price at the date of exercise over
the market price at the date of grant) in the
form of stock or stock and cash. Appreciation
value may be received with respect to no more
than 50% of the units granted. Appropriate
appreciation value is recognized currently as
compensation expense. Pursuant to previously
approved stock option plans, common stock
of the Company has been made available for
option to officers and other key employees
at market prices on the dates granted.

Capital Shares
Stockholders, at the annual meeting held April
26, 1979, approved amendments to Articles of
Incorporation which authorized a new class of
Serial Preferred Stock, consisting of
10,000,000 shares, without par value, and an
increase of the Company's authorized Com-
mon Stock from 100,000,000 to 200,000,000
shares with par value remaining at $1 per share.
None of the newly authorized Serial Pre-
ferred Stock has been issued, and all outstand-
ing shares of the Company's earlier issues of
preferred stock were redeemed during 1979.
Concurrent with the increase in authorized
Common Stock, a common stock split-up was
effected in the form of a 100% stock dividend
and was accounted for by a transfer of
$62,255,000 from additional paid-in capital to
capital stock.
All references in the financial statements with
regard to number of shares of common stock
and related prices, dividends and per share
amounts have been restated, where applica-
ble, to reflect the foregoing common stock
split-up.

Provision for IncomeTaxes
The 1979 provision includes:
Currently payable

The 1978 provision includes:
Currently payable
Deferred
Deferred tax expense for 1979 and 1978 was
primarily attributable to the tax benefit derived
from the excess of tax over book depreciation.
The effective income tax rate on consolidated
pre-tax earnings differs from the U.S. federal
statutory rate for the following reasons:
Provision computed at federal
statutory rate of reported
pre-tax earnings
Increases (decreases) in the
provision resulting from:
Inclusion of equity in net earnings
of unconsolidated subsidiaries and

Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
of Philip Morris Incorporated:
We have examined the consolidated balance
sheets of PHILIP MORRIS INCORPORATED
and Consolidated Subsidiaries as of
December 31, 1979 and 1978, and the related
consolidated statements of earnings, stock-
holders' equity and changes in financial posi-
tion for the years then ended. Our examinations
were made in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards and, accordingly,
included such tests of the accounting records
and such other auditing procedures as we
considered necessary in the circumstances. _
in our opinion, the financial statements men-
tioned above present fairly the financial posi-
tion of Philip Morris Incorporated and consoli-
dated subsidiaries at December 31, 1979 and
1978, and the results of their operations and the
changes in their financial position for the years
then ended, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles applied on a
consistent basis.

Inflation Adjusted Information
In accordance with the requirements of
recently issued Statement No. 33 of the Finan-
cial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), the
following schedule of earnings for the year
ended December 31, 1979 and five-year sum-
mary of selected financial data are presented
to provide certain information with respect to
the effects of inflation on the Company's opera-
tions. Statement No. 33 requires use of (a) the
constant dollar method which measures
changes in general price levels and (b) the cur-
rent cost method which measures changes in
specific prices appfcable to the Company's
operations.
The constant dollar method provides finan-
cial information in dollars of the same purchas-
ing power, so that revenues for each year
are matched with expenses expressed in dol-
lars with the same general purchasing power.
The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Con-
sumers is used as the broad-based measure of
the general inflation rate.
The current cost method reflects the effect
of changes in the specific prices of the
resources used in the Company's operations.
This method measures the resources and their
consumption 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 consider technological improvements and
efficiencies associated with the normal
replacement of productive capacity. Adjust-
ments for changes in specific prices of prop-
erty, plant and equipment were principally
based on external price indexes specifically or
closely related to the resources being mea-
sured, or internally developed indexes, and in
the case of inventories and cost of sales, on
recent purchases and production costs.
Both of these methods inherently involve the
use of assumptions, approximations, and esti-
mates, and therefore, the resulting measure-
ments should be viewed in that context and not
as precise indicators of the effects of inflation.
They do not necessarily 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.
The schedule of earnings and other data for
1979 as reported and as adjusted for changing
prices follows:

(B) At December 31, 1979 the year-end current cost of
inventories was $2,543 million and the year-end cur-
rent cost of property, plant and equipment, net of
accumulated depreciation, was $2,891 million.

In arriving at constant dollar and current cost
net earnings for 1979, depreciation expense
and the raw material and supplies components
of cost of sales are the only amounts reported
in the primary statements that have been
adjusted into average 1979 dollars. Revenues,
labor, and other costs and expenses are con-
sidered to reflect average price levels for the
year, and accordingly have not been adjusted.
The cost of sales adjustments decrease
earnings before income taxes by $194 million
and $90 million under the constant dollar and
current cost methods, respectively, reflecting
the fact that the general rate of inflation has
exceeded the overall rate of increase in the
historical cost of the Company's raw materials
and supplies. The depreciation adjustments
decrease earnings before income taxes by $41
million in constant dollars and $49 million in
current cost. These adjustments reflect the
increase in the valuation of the Company's
property, plant and equipment measured
under the constant dollar and current cost
methods over historical dollar cost amounts.
The result of the inflation adjustments is a
decrease in earnings before income taxes in
constant dollars of 25.9% and in current cost
of 15.3%. The FASB rule does not permit any

adjustment to the provision for income taxes.
Nevertheless, the Company's use, for tax pur-
poses only, of accelerated depreciation and of
special inventory adjustments allowed in cer-
tain countries in which the Company does
business provides some tax relief, not reflected
in the provision for income taxes, for the effects
of inflation.
The increases in stockholders' equity of $728
million and $653 million under the constant
dollar and current cost methods, respectively,
as compared with the amount reported in the
primary financial statements, are attributable
mainly to the appreciation of inventories and
property, plant and equipment due to inflation.
Additionally, stockholders' equity is increased
under both methods by unrealized gains result-
ing from the decline in the purchasing power .
of net amounts owed. As is the case with the
constant dollar and current cost adjustments
to net earnings, no tax effect has been applied
to the unrealized gains included in stock-
holders' equity.
