The major portion of our improvement and expansion program was completed during the year with addition to our Louisville facilities raising our one-shift manufacturing capacity there by over 80 per cent. Our leaf storage capacity was increased to accommodate in our own premises the storage of strips produced by our ~reen-leaf stemming unit in Louisville. A new areen-leaf stemmery was completed in Louisville and one in Richmond is nearing completion. Operating economies are expected to result. The reQular $3.00 cash dividend was paid on the common stock. TIMN 440528

SALES AND ADVERTISING In the field of advertising we have recognized the growing interest in television on the part of the public. Since last October we sponsored the Lucille Ball-Desi Arnaz Show, I Love Lucy, CBS-TV, at 9:00 P.M. on Monday. From an un- known show at that time it has become a first- ranking program. Other sponsored programs in- clude: Against The Storm, ABC Radio, 10:45 A.M., Monday through Friday; Break the Bank, ABC Radio, 11:30 A.M., Tuesday and Thurs- day; The Strange Romance of Evelyn Winters, ABC Radio, 3:45 P.M., Monday through Fri- day; Philip Morris Playhouse on Broadway, CBS Radio, 8:30 P.M., Sunday; the twin programs on WPIX, New York TV Station, with Joe Di- Maggio, Yankee Pre-view and Guest of the Day, which precede and follow each home game of the New York Yankees; Racket Squad, CBS- TV, 10:00 P.M., Thursday. All times given are Eastern Daylight Saving Time. These programs are supplemented by intensive nationwide news- paper coverage. We have endeavored to mold our sales pro- motion, both in advertising and in direct sales work, in keeping with the changing accent of consumer purchases. Our experimental sales promotion activities with the long (85mm.) cigarette, Dunhill, have been restricted to limited market areas in several metropolitan districts. These experiments appear promising but it is yet too early to draw any definite conclusion concerning them. "Lucy" and her husband, Desi Arnaz, receive an award as Board Chairman Alfred E. Lyon tioatches. The studio audience gathers. The accoutrentents of criminals and ineans for their de- tection cover the table in the "Racket Squad" progranv. 10

UNCLE SAM'S STAMP TAX. • TLLI.S 1-YPL( ~AL SCE V'L LS CONT1NL'ED O.V PAGE 12 • HOW WE USED OUR SALES REVENUE (IN PER CENT) reaching proper age. Thus, leaf inventory liqui- dated through manufacture and sale of cigarettes turns into cash. Because of the length of time during which tobacco must be aged, bank loans are used to carry a substantial portion of this inventory. These funds seldom exceed the book value of the tobacco to be converted to cash through sale of the manufactured products within the next year and a half. The sum of our total borrowings -funded debt and bank loans-is in conservative ratio. We do not plan any financing this year. Although there is no valid expectancy of lower taxes in view of the current rate of Govern- ment expenditures and the national debt struc- ture, in our opinion it is unlikely that the Federal excise tax on cigarettes will be raised again with- in the near future. Despite heavy tax burdens, the tobacco in- dustry continues to function soundly. In the last year the Federal Government raised the price of the tax stamp on manufactured cigarettes by 1( per package, an increase of 14%. The tax which this stamp represents, though charged against the ultimate domestic consumer, must be paid in advance by the manufacturer who subsequently collects from the consumer by including the amount of the tax in the sales price. This recent increase raised the portion of our working funds which is continuously advanced to the Govern- ment without interest to about $14,000,000. ~ 1.3 1952 VF1Ci!!!!!2 - --. $ 37.0 ~ 4.2 1951 ~ 3.9 ~t ----3.3 1950 1949 1948 ~ ---- 2.7 .6 36.1 ``4.5 ., -..-- 3.fi _ ~2.a ~ -.7 5 ~ 36.6 ~ 4.4 ~ GouernmenfiRevenue Stamps r Government (State & Federal) Taxes:on lncome: ~Iarnings Retained for Business Needs- ~ Stockholders (Gash~ Dividends) ~ fnterest (and f?ther Financial Costs), Employees Tobacco, Manufacturing, Distribution Costs TIMN 440533

R.` E V f E W O F T t~ E 1952 `~' 1 5 C: A L~ r Y E. A R The Company's large-scale expansion and modernization plans which we reported last year are near scheduled completion. As a result of this expansion, our on::-shift manufacturing ca- pacity will be increased by approximately 40%, making it possible to eliminate the extra night shifts. Our sales volume from prior years was main- tained. Sales in many areas abroad were still restricted by lack of dollars. Export sales of Philip Morris products, including sales to United States Forces, were increased 35 %. We promoted Dunhill, our long cigarette, in several experimental cities during the fiscal year just ended. This product was repackaged in 1951 and the results of its promotion so far have been encouraging. Additional markets may be opened in the current year. Higher excise taxes after November 1, 1951, and the price increase of July 1950, in effect for the full twelve months of the fiscal year, ac- counted for a small increase in net sales. Our cost of goods sold, augmented by a larger outlay for revenue stamps, increased, however, so that with other increased costs, net income after Federal and State income taxes was $4,062,005 lower than in the previous year. The added excise tax of 1 C per package legis- lated in November 1951 brought the amount of Federal tax stamps per package to 8~. These excise taxes collected from the industry were covered by the increased price permitted, but the O.P.S. allowed no further increase. The financial condition of the Company con- tinues strong. Our capital and surplus at $124,- 051,408 offset our complete investment in plant and equipment as well as almost half of our investment in current inventories with the bal- ance covered by debentures and current loans. Current assets were $243,604,297 against current liabilities of $109,004,493, leavinE, working capital of $134,599,804. Our invest- ment in leaf tobacco is $198,803,705. Bank loans of $85,000,000 plus long-term funded debt of $32,000,000 amount to 58.85% of tobacco inventories. After paying the regular dividends on the 4% Series and 3.90% Series of Cumulative Pre- ferred Stock, and our regular dividend of $3.00 per share on the Common Stock, we retained $4,041,516 from the year's earnings, an amount equal to 42% of our increase in fixed assets. Of the funds needed for our program of ex- pansion and modernization, approximately $11,150,000 has been spent since the inception of the program in July 1950. At Louisville, $9,550,000 has been spent on the new green- leaf stemmery, 34 warehouses, and expanded manufacturing facilities. Approximately $950,- 000 remains to be spent to complete the pro- gram at Louisville. Our new factory addition and green-leaf stemmery at Louisville are in operation and most of our leaf tobacco there is already stored in our modern warehouses. In Richmond, approximately $1,600,000 has been spent for the new green-leaf stemmery and ware- houses to be completed about August 1952. Approximately $800,000 more will be spent there to complete the work. The completion of this program brings our productive capacity in line with the cumulative sales gains of recent years and gives us money- saving opportunities in the handling of green leaf not available to us in the smaller volume period of our early years. At the same time it makes possible better working conditions for our employees as the night shift is eliminated. At the Annual Meetincy last July, share owners approved a new formula for computing the ac- crual of the Incentive Compensation Fund. The distribution of such fund is subject, however, to the rules and reQulations of the Waae and Salarv Stabilization Boards. ~ TIllZIN 440530 6

Our investment in property, plant and equip- ment totaled $19,916,142 after depreciation at March 31, 1952, representing an increase of $9,556,608 durina the fiscal year. This invest- ment includes the major portion of the program of expansion and improvement undertaken more than a year ago. When completed the progranl will account for approximately $12,000,000. Our investment in leaf tobacco is $198,803,- 705 as against $200,151,303 at the end of fiscal 1950-51. This clean, redried tobacco, packed in hogsheads and in the process of aging is one of the most liquid and least perishable of all business inventories. Aging mellows and im- proves the smoking quality of tobacco for up to two or three years after which it maintains its condition without deteriorating. There is no quoted market on leaf in storage, its book value being the accumulated costs of purchase, ship- ping, redrying, storage and other incidental costs averaged by grade each month. Its true value is measured only as the principal ingredient of cigarettes for whose manufacture it has been set aside. . The sale of ciQarettes has a high dearee of sta- bility.

In reviewing export operations, our Board of Directors deemed it wise to cancel our running contract with Tobacco Products Export Cor- poration, formerly sales agents for Philip Morris in a number of foreian countries. The balance of this current contract, drawn up in 1946 to run until 1961, was canceled for its commuted value at January 1, 1952, by agreement with Tobacco Products.

1 I ottr l)ircctor of Research and Develop- nient brings many years of experience in the development and improvement of prodtects through scientifzc research. Dr. DuPuis iras formerly in charge of research and development of S. C. Johnson and Son, Inc. During the war lie x•as engaged in research on vital military materiel. He is a Fellow of the American Instittue of Chemists, and a menrRc•r of the American Chenucal So- ciety and other associations of men in- terested in the advancement of science. When the present Philip Morris cigarette was launched in 1933, it represented a radical de- parture from the current practices in the tobacco industry. The pioneering keynote set by the Company has been followed continuously. The Company has consistently used science and re- search, not only in maintaining the high quality of its products, but in the development of better products. Continuing research makes possible new and better methods of manufacture from the standpoint of quality and efficiency with attendant savings in cost of production. Research is an important factor in all industry today and the Company utilizes research to the fullest ex- tent. A new research laboratory is being planned in Richmond to carry out expanded activities. An increased staff of chemists, physicists, biolo- gists and botanists is being organized. The Com- pany is fortunate in securing the services of Dr. Robert N. DuPuis who will be in charge as Director of Research and Development. The Company is also fortunate in retaining the services of Mr. Willard F. Greenwald, who for many years past has been in charge of our studies of the physiological effects of smoking. He will work closely with Dr. DuPuis. Fine equipment increases research effectiveness. TIMN 440547 19

The same department expedites the distribution of cigarettes and smoking tobacco to wholesale dis- tributing points, and is closely linked with pro- duction and sales demands. The controlled inventories and systematic ro- tation of our stocks at more than 50 distribution warehouses assurey factory freshness at all times. out its adjustments, whether in sales, administra- tion, accounting, or in the factories where we made the chanae from a two-shift manufacturing routine to a one-shift daytime operation.

The Company's policy is to maintain condi- tions of work which compare favorably not only with the tobacco industry but with all industry. In our program of plant expansion and improve- ment we continued the use of color, modern lighting, sound-proofing, and the scientific lay- out of working area to provide the most pleasant environment consistent with the efficient use of business premises for the places where the mem- bers of our orcyanization spend so large a part of their lives. y A Retirement Plan, Blue Cross Hospitaliza- tion, and Life Insurance, maintained at the Com- pany's expense, have for many years been part of our personnel program and enjoyed by all Philip Morris people. Operating under the Government's Wage and Stabilization program, our salaries and wages which totaled $12,868,604 were maintained at levels comparing most favorably with the highest in the tobacco industry.

An increase of 2.5 to 3% in cigarette sales of the tobacco industry for the year 1952 has been estimated on the basis of a projection of smoking population growth. As- suming no further excessive cigarette taxation and no additional restrictions on tobacco plant- ing, a continued increase of 2.5% a year has been estimated which would bring sales up to 470 billion units by 1960, a rise of more than 100 billion over the calendar 1950 figure. The Com- pany looks forward to sharing in this growth. PRESIDENT 'Y1ttt2b. 19~2 CItAiRMA,'i 01 THE ROARI) 7['IMlv% 440551

The income derived from their investment helps outfit them for the steamer trip on which they are here embarking. Mrs. Robert Hoke and her daughter in the house in Louisville paid for with funds from Philip Morris Share Owner, the First Kentucky Fire Insurance Company, after fire destroyed a former residence. S H A R E O W N E R S) B E N E F I T S C O M E T O M A N Y I N D1 R E C T L Y Hundreds of business organizations are Share Owners in Philip Morris. Some of them, instead of manufacturing and selling things, depend largely upon their investments for income. The services rendered to people by these Philip Morris Share Owners are illustrated by a few examples pictured here. Without the capitalistic method of profit by investment, these services would not exist. Funds of these insurance companies are augmented by their share in Philip Morris earnings. Share Owner American Fidelity & Casualty Co. helps to reduce accidents through showing driv- ers of insured vehicles their faults before they become fatal.
