ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
GENERAL
Philip Morris Companies Inc. is a holding company whose principal wholly- owned subsidiaries, Philip Morris Incorporated, Philip Morris International Inc., Kraft General Foods, Inc. and Miller Brewing Company, are engaged primarily in the manufacture and sale of various consumer products. A wholly- owned subsidiary of the Company, Philip Morris Capital Corporation, engages in various financing and investment activities. As used herein, unless the context indicates otherwise, the term "Company" means Philip Morris Companies Inc. and its subsidiaries. The Company is the largest consumer packaged goods company in the world.*
Philip Morris Incorporated ("Philip Morris U.S.A.") and its subsidiaries and affiliates are engaged primarily in the manufacture and sale of cigarettes. Philip Morris U.S.A. is the largest cigarette company in the United States. Philip Morris International Inc. ("Philip Morris International") is a holding company whose subsidiaries and affiliates and their licensees are engaged primarily in the manufacture and sale of tobacco products (mainly cigarettes); certain Latin American subsidiaries and affiliates manufacture and sell a wide variety of food products. A subsidiary of Philip Morris International is the leading United States exporter of cigarettes. Marlboro, the principal cigarette brand of these companies, has been the world's largest selling cigarette brand since 1972.
The Company's food subsidiary, Kraft General Foods, Inc. ("KGF"), is the largest processor and marketer of packaged grocery, coffee, cheese and processed meat products in the United States. A wide variety of similar products is manufactured and marketed by KGF in Europe, Canada and the Asia/Pacific region. KGF also conducts foodservice businesses and sells food ingredients.
Miller Brewing Company ("Miller") is the second largest brewing company in the United States.
SOURCE OF FUNDS -- DIVIDENDS
Because the Company is a holding company, one of its principal sources of funds is dividends from its subsidiaries. The Company's principal wholly-owned subsidiaries currently are not limited by long-term debt or other agreements in their ability to pay cash dividends or make other distributions with respect to their common stock.
INDUSTRY SEGMENTS
Tobacco products (mainly cigarettes), which accounted for 43% of the Company's operating revenues in 1993 and in 1992, food products, beer and financial services and real estate represent the Company's significant industry segments. Operating revenues, operating profit (together with a reconciliation to operating income) and identifiable assets attributable to each such segment for each of the last three years, set forth in note 11 to the Company's consolidated financial statements, are incorporated herein by reference to its annual report to stockholders for the year ended December 31, 1993.
Operating profit from tobacco operations was approximately 62% of the Company's total operating profit in 1993 compared with 69% in 1992, of which Philip Morris U.S.A. and Philip Morris International contributed 33% and 29%, respectively, in 1993 and 50% and 19%, respectively, in 1992. Food products accounted for approximately 33% of the Company's operating profit in 1993 and 27% in 1992. Beer contributed approximately 2% and financial services and real estate contributed approximately 3% of the Company's operating profit in 1993, as compared with 2% each in 1992. - -------- * Claims made with respect to the Company's competitive ranking in its various businesses are based on sales data or, in the case of cigarettes and beer, shipments, unless otherwise indicated.
During 1993, the Company provided $741 million for the costs of restructuring its worldwide operations. In addition, the Company adopted, effective January 1, 1993, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 112, which resulted in additional operating expense of $29 million. Excluding the impacts of the restructuring and SFAS No. 112, the percentages of total operating profit from tobacco, food and beer operations were 59%, 34% and 4%, respectively.
NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
TOBACCO PRODUCTS
Philip Morris U.S.A. is responsible for the manufacture, marketing and sale of cigarettes in the United States (including military sales); subsidiaries and affiliates of Philip Morris International and their licensees are responsible for the manufacture, marketing and sale of tobacco products outside the United States; and a subsidiary of Philip Morris International is responsible for tobacco product exports from the United States.
The tobacco industry continues to be subject to health concerns and litigation, as well as tax increases, which could have an adverse impact on the Company.
Domestic Tobacco Products
In 1993, Philip Morris U.S.A.'s total shipments of cigarettes amounted to 194.7 billion units, a decrease of 19.6 billion units (9.1%) from 1992. The industry's estimated cigarette shipments in the United States decreased by 9.0% in 1993 as compared to 1992, following a decrease of 0.4% in 1992 as compared to 1991. As discussed below, in 1993, Philip Morris U.S.A. implemented a strategy which lowered the price of Marlboro and its other premium brands. This action resulted in lower shipments in 1993 as compared with 1992 when distributors bought in anticipation of price increases and higher federal excise taxes, effective January 1, 1993. The following table sets forth the industry's estimated cigarette shipments in the United States, Philip Morris U.S.A.'s shipments and its share of industry shipments (excluding in all cases export and overseas military shipments):
-------- (a) Source: Wheat, First Securities, Inc. (John C. Maxwell, Jr.)
According to The Maxwell Consumer Report issued by Wheat, First Securities, Inc., Philip Morris U.S.A. has been the leading cigarette company in the United States market since 1983. Philip Morris U.S.A.'s major cigarette brands are Marlboro, Benson & Hedges 100's, Merit, Virginia Slims, Cambridge and Basic. Marlboro is the largest selling brand in the United States with shipments of 108.5 billion units in 1993 (down 12.4% from 1992, primarily the result of the differences in distributor buying patterns noted above), 23.5% of the United States market.
During the first half of 1993, domestic cigarette industry volume continued to shift from the full price (premium) segment to the lower margin discount segment. In April 1993, Philip Morris U.S.A. announced its decision to institute, in the second quarter of 1993, an extensive promotional program to reduce the average retail price of Marlboro cigarettes, a major shift in pricing strategy designed to restore lost market share and improve long-term profitability. In August 1993, Philip Morris U.S.A. lowered the price of its premium brands and raised the price of its discount products in further response to the highly price sensitive market environment. The overall effect of these changes has been lower profit margins that have not been offset entirely by higher volume. Lower profit margins will continue at least until sustained improvements in the economic environment occur. As a result of these strategic initiatives, retail sales data compiled by Nielsen Marketing Research indicate Marlboro's market share rising from 22.1% in March 1993 to 26.8% in December 1993. In addition, such retail sales data indicate that a reversal occurred in the second half of
1993 in the shift away from the premium segment (67.8% of the industry in December 1993 compared with 64.0% in March 1993) to the discount segment. These developments, and their impact on the Company's financial results, are more fully discussed in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (the "MD&A"), incorporated herein by reference to the Company's annual report to stockholders for the year ended December 31, 1993.
The discount segment of the industry, which consists of "generic" and lower- priced cigarettes that have a lower profit margin than premium brands, has grown markedly in recent years, constituting 36.8% of United States industry shipments in 1993, up from 30.2% in 1992, but down from 39.0% and 40.7% for the first and second quarters of 1993, respectively. Philip Morris U.S.A. accounted for 29.4% of the discount segment in 1993, up from 27.1% in 1992.
Excise taxes, sales taxes and other taxes levied by various states, counties and municipalities affecting cigarettes have been increasing. These taxes vary considerably and, when combined with the federal excise tax, may be as high as $1.05 per package of 20 cigarettes. The federal excise tax was increased by $.04 to $.24 per package of 20 cigarettes effective January 1, 1993. As part of its health care reform proposal, the administration has proposed an increase of $.75 per package (to $.99), effective October 1, 1994. In the opinion of the Company, the 1993 increase has had an adverse effect on sales and the proposed 1994 increase, if adopted, could result in volume declines for Philip Morris U.S.A. and further shifts from the premium segment to the discount segment.
International Tobacco Products
The Company estimates that world cigarette industry unit sales (excluding the United States) were approximately 5.0 trillion units in 1993, of which the Company's share, including licensees, was 9.2% in 1993 and 8.6% in 1992. Unit sales of its principal brand, Marlboro, increased 3.5% in 1993 over 1992 to 240.1 billion units, accounting for 4.8% of the world cigarette market (excluding the United States). Subsidiaries and affiliates of Philip Morris International and their licensees have cigarette market shares of at least 15%-- and in a number of instances substantially more than 15% -- in more than 30 markets, including Argentina, Australia, Belgium, the Canary Islands, the Czech Republic, the Dominican Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Kuwait, Mexico, the Netherlands, the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Slovakia and Switzerland.
A subsidiary of Philip Morris International is the leading United States exporter of cigarettes. It exported 114.4 billion units in 1993, an increase of 3.6% from 1992.
Cigarette prices in many international markets are government-controlled, and excise and other tax increases, higher costs and government price restraints in a number of markets have restricted, and may continue to restrict, the sales and operating income of Philip Morris International.
In 1993, Philip Morris International acquired majority interests in government-owned tobacco companies in Lithuania, Russia and Kazakhstan and signed a cooperation agreement with the China National Tobacco Company to produce and sell Marlboro cigarettes for the Chinese domestic market.
Smoking and Health and Related Matters
Reports with respect to the alleged harmful physical effects of cigarette smoking have been publicized for many years and, in the opinion of the Company, have had and continue to have an adverse effect upon tobacco industry sales. Since 1964, the Surgeon General of the United States and the Secretary of Health and Human Services have released a number of reports which purport to link cigarette smoking with a broad range of health hazards, including various types of cancer, coronary heart disease and chronic lung disease, and recommend various governmental measures to reduce the incidence of smoking. The 1990 and
reports focus upon the purported addictive nature of cigarettes, the purported effects of smoking cessation, the decrease in smoking in the United States and the economic and regulatory aspects of smoking in the Western Hemisphere. The most recent report, released in February 1994, focuses upon cigarette smoking by adolescents, particularly the purported addictive nature of cigarette smoking in adolescence.
Federal legislation requires cigarette manufacturers and importers to include the following warning statements in rotating sequence on cigarette packages and in advertisements: SURGEON GENERAL'S WARNING: Smoking Causes Lung Cancer, Heart Disease, Emphysema, And May Complicate Pregnancy; SURGEON GENERAL'S WARNING: Quitting Smoking Now Greatly Reduces Serious Risks to Your Health; SURGEON GENERAL'S WARNING: Smoking By Pregnant Women May Result in Fetal Injury, Premature Birth, And Low Birth Weight; and SURGEON GENERAL'S WARNING: Cigarette Smoke Contains Carbon Monoxide. Such legislation also covers the size and format of warnings on cigarette packages and in cigarette advertising, and prescribes a modified version of the warnings for outdoor billboard advertisements. In addition to the warning statements, cigarette advertising in the United States must disclose the average "tar" and nicotine deliveries of the advertised brand or variety. Cigarette manufacturers and importers are also required to provide annually to the Secretary of Health and Human Services a list of ingredients added to tobacco in the manufacture of cigarettes, and the Secretary is directed to report to Congress concerning the health effects, if any, of such ingredients. Most of the cigarettes sold by the Company's subsidiaries, affiliates and their licensees are sold in countries where warning statement requirements for cigarette packages have been adopted. In countries where such statements are not legally required, the Company places the U.S. Surgeon General's warnings on all of its cigarette packages.
Studies with respect to the alleged health risk to nonsmokers of diluted and modified cigarette smoke, often referred to as environmental tobacco smoke ("ETS"), have received significant publicity. In 1986, the Surgeon General of the United States and the National Academy of Sciences reported that nonsmokers were at increased risk of lung cancer and respiratory illness due to ETS. In January 1993, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA") issued a report concluding, among other things, that ETS is a human lung carcinogen and that ETS increases certain health risks for young children. In June 1993, Philip Morris U.S.A. joined five other representatives of the tobacco manufacturing and related industries in a lawsuit against the EPA seeking a declaration that the EPA does not have the authority to regulate ETS, and that, in view of the available scientific evidence and the EPA's failure to follow its own guidelines in making the determination, the EPA's final risk assessment be declared arbitrary and capricious. The EPA report, as well as adverse publicity on ETS, have resulted in the enactment of legislation that restricts or bans cigarette smoking in certain public places and some places of employment.
Another federal statute established the Interagency Committee on Cigarette and Little Cigar Fire Safety to direct the work of a Technical Study Group created by the same statute and to make policy recommendations to Congress. The Technical Study Group, which consisted of representatives of designated government agencies, the tobacco and furniture industries and various other organizations, studied the feasibility and consequences of developing cigarettes and little cigars that would have a minimum propensity to ignite upholstered furniture or mattresses. Based on this research, the Interagency Committee submitted its final technical report to Congress in December 1987, which contained the conclusion of the Technical Study Group that it is technically feasible and may be commercially feasible to develop cigarettes that will have a significantly reduced propensity to ignite upholstered furniture and mattresses. Legislation in August 1990 provided for further research under the direction of the Consumer Product Safety Commission (the "CPSC"), with advice from a new scientific committee, the Technical Advisory Group. The CPSC reported to Congress in August 1993 that it is practicable to develop a performance standard for cigarette ignition propensity, but that "it is unclear that such a standard will effectively address the number of cigarette-related fires."
Television and radio advertising of cigarettes is prohibited in the United States and prohibited or restricted in many other countries. Enactments by regulatory agencies and other governmental authorities have restricted or prohibited smoking areas aboard certain common carriers, in certain public places and in some places of employment. Smoking is currently banned on all commercial airline flights, regardless of
duration, within and between the 48 contiguous states, the District of Columbia, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico and within Alaska and Hawaii, and on all commercial flights to or from Alaska and Hawaii scheduled for less than six hours. In addition, various foreign airlines voluntarily have banned smoking on certain flights.
Numerous other legislative and regulatory measures have been proposed at the federal, state and local levels which, if implemented, could adversely affect Philip Morris U.S.A.'s cigarette business. The most significant of such measures would increase federal, state or local taxes on cigarettes, restrict the sale and distribution of cigarettes through limitations on points of sale, further restrict cigarette advertising and promotion and further restrict or prohibit smoking aboard common carriers or in public places or places of employment.
A number of foreign countries have also taken steps to restrict or prohibit cigarette advertising and promotion, to increase taxes on cigarettes and to discourage cigarette smoking. In some cases, such restrictions are more onerous than those in the United States. Canada has enacted a ban on cigarette advertising, which is being challenged on constitutional grounds. In 1992, the European Parliament approved a proposal to ban all tobacco advertisements in the European Community. Various additional approvals must be obtained before the proposal can be enacted. It is not possible to predict the outcome of this legislative effort.
In February 1994, the Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA"), in a letter to an anti-smoking group, claimed that it may be possible for the FDA to regulate cigarettes under the drug provisions of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The FDA's claim is based upon allegations that manufacturers may intend that their products contain nicotine to satisfy an alleged addiction on the part of some of their customers. The FDA stated that any regulation would need to be based upon an evidentiary record indicating such intent. The letter indicated that regulation of cigarettes under said Act could ultimately result in the removal from the market of products containing nicotine at levels that cause or satisfy addiction. Because of the complexity and magnitude of the issues raised by this claim, the FDA has asked Congress to provide "clear direction" to the agency. While Philip Morris U.S.A. does not believe that cigarettes are addictive and denies the allegation that its products are intended to satisfy an alleged addiction, management cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the FDA's efforts.
There is litigation pending against the leading United States cigarette manufacturers seeking compensatory and, in some cases, punitive damages for cancer and other health effects alleged to have resulted from cigarette smoking or exposure to cigarette smoking. As of December 31, 1993, there were 47 and as of February 15, 1994, 45 such actions pending against the leading United States cigarette manufacturers; 55 such cases were pending as of December 31, 1992. Philip Morris U.S.A. was a defendant in 22 actions pending as of December 31, 1993 and 21 such actions pending as of February 15, 1994; there were 27 such cases as of December 31, 1992.
Among the defenses to certain of this litigation raised by Philip Morris U.S.A. is preemption by the Federal Cigarette Labeling and Advertising Act, as amended (the "Act"). On June 24, 1992, the United States Supreme Court held that the Act, as enacted in 1965, does not preempt common law damage claims but that the Act, as amended in 1969, preempts claims arising after 1969 against cigarette manufacturers "based on failure to warn and the neutralization of federally mandated warnings to the extent that those claims rely on omissions or inclusions in advertising or promotions." The Court also held that the 1969 Act does not preempt claims based on express warranty, fraudulent misrepresentation or conspiracy. The Court also held that claims for fraudulent concealment were preempted except "insofar as those claims relied on a duty to disclose . . . facts through channels of communication other than advertising or promotion." (The Court did not consider whether such common law damage claims were valid under state law.) The Court's ruling affirmed in part, and reversed in part, a 1990 decision of the Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, holding that the Act preempted claims arising after 1965 that challenged the adequacy of the federally mandated warning or the propriety of cigarette manufacturers' advertising and promotional activities. The Court's decision was announced by a plurality opinion. The effect of the decision on pending and future cases will be the subject of further proceedings in the lower federal and state courts. Additional similar litigation could be
encouraged if legislative proposals to eliminate the federal preemption defense, pending in Congress since 1991, were enacted. It is not possible to predict whether any such legislation will be enacted.
Philip Morris U.S.A. believes, and it has been so advised by counsel, that it has a number of valid defenses to all smoking and health cases, including, but not limited to, those defenses based on preemption under the Supreme Court decision referred to above. All such cases are, and will continue to be, vigorously defended. It is not possible to predict the outcome of this litigation. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties, and it is possible that some of these actions could be decided unfavorably to Philip Morris U.S.A. An unfavorable outcome of a pending action could encourage the commencement of additional similar litigation. Reference is made to note 15 to the Company's consolidated financial statements, incorporated herein by reference to the Company's annual report to stockholders for the year ended December 31, 1993.
Philip Morris U.S.A. has been advised that there is a grand jury investigation being conducted by the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York which is looking into possible violations of criminal law in connection with activities relating to the Council for Tobacco Research - USA, Inc., of which Philip Morris U.S.A. is a sponsor. The outcome of this investigation cannot be predicted.
Philip Morris U.S.A. has received a Civil Investigative Demand from the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice in an investigation of possible joint activity among United States manufacturers in the production and sale of cigarettes, including possible joint activity to limit new product development. The outcome of this investigation cannot be predicted.
Distribution, Competition and Raw Materials
Philip Morris U.S.A. sells its tobacco products principally to wholesalers (including distributors), large retail organizations, vending machine operators and the armed services. Subsidiaries and affiliates of Philip Morris International and their licensees market cigarettes and other tobacco products worldwide, directly or through export sales organizations and other entities with which they have contractual arrangements.
The market for tobacco products is highly competitive, with product quality, price, marketing and packaging constituting significant methods of competition. Promotional activities include, in certain instances, allowances, the use of incentive items, price reductions and other discounts. This highly competitive market, and Philip Morris U.S.A.'s 1993 initiatives therein, are more fully described in "Tobacco Products--Domestic Tobacco Products" above and in the MD&A. The tobacco products of the Company's subsidiaries, affiliates and their licensees are extensively advertised and promoted through various media, although television and radio advertising of cigarettes is prohibited in the United States and is prohibited or restricted in many other countries.
Philip Morris U.S.A. and Philip Morris International's subsidiaries and affiliates and their licensees purchase domestic burley and flue cured leaf tobaccos of various grades and types each year, primarily at domestic auction. In addition, oriental tobacco and certain other tobaccos are purchased outside the United States. The tobacco is then graded, cleaned, stemmed and redried prior to its storage for aging up to three years. Large quantities of leaf tobacco inventory are maintained to support cigarette manufacturing requirements. Tobacco is an agricultural commodity subject to United States government controls, including the tobacco price support and production adjustment programs administered by the United States Department of Agriculture (the "USDA").
As of January 1, 1994, legislation became effective requiring, subject to financial penalties, the use of at least 75% American-grown tobacco, which is more expensive than imported tobacco, in cigarettes manufactured in the United States. Due to the high content of American-grown tobacco (approximately 65% in 1993) used in Philip Morris U.S.A.'s products and those exported by subsidiaries of Philip Morris International, this new requirement is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the results of operations of Philip Morris U.S.A. or Philip Morris International.
FOOD PRODUCTS
KGF's reporting and management structure currently comprises Kraft General Foods North America, Kraft Foodservice and Kraft General Foods International. Kraft General Foods North America currently
has four operating units: (i) General Foods USA, responsible for General Foods United States packaged grocery products, coffee, cereal, beverage and certain frozen foods businesses; (ii) Kraft USA, responsible for Kraft United States dry grocery foods, refrigerated foods (principally dairy products), certain frozen foods and the processed meat and poultry products businesses of Oscar Mayer Foods; (iii) Kraft Food Ingredients, responsible for United States food ingredients businesses; and (iv) Kraft General Foods Canada, responsible for all General Foods and Kraft Canadian businesses. Kraft Foodservice is responsible for United States foodservice businesses.

In Latin America, certain subsidiaries of Philip Morris International manufacture and market a wide variety of food products, including a number of the products sold by General Foods USA and Kraft USA, as well as Kibon ice cream and Suchard confections.
Distribution, Competition and Raw Materials
Sales of products of General Foods USA, Kraft USA and Kraft General Foods Canada are generally made on the basis of orders by supermarket chains, wholesalers, club stores, mass merchandisers, distributors and individual stores. Substantially all products are distributed through retail food outlets, including club stores and mass merchandisers. Dry grocery products are shipped to, or picked up by, customers from plants and distribution centers or shipped to customers from a number of satellite warehouses and other facilities. Frozen and refrigerated products are shipped from manufacturing locations and from intermediate company-operated and public cold storage facilities. Fresh baked goods are delivered daily to depots and then distributed to the retail trade. Selling efforts are assisted by national and regional advertising on television and radio and in magazines and newspapers, as well as by sales promotions, product displays, trade incentives, informative material offered to customers and other promotional activities. The products of Kraft Food Ingredients are distributed to food processors, foodservice operators and distributors and retail food stores. Sales are made primarily through the Kraft Food Ingredients sales force and, in some instances, independent brokers. Kraft Food Ingredients maintains warehouse and distribution centers at each of its main manufacturing facilities.
Local foodservice distribution centers support the operations of Kraft Foodservice. Each Kraft Foodservice distribution center has a warehouse, sales office and fleet of trucks to distribute products to customers in its sales regions.
Products of Kraft General Foods International are sold primarily through sales offices and agents abroad. The majority of the sales of this operating unit are derived from Europe. European regional distribution is coordinated from its headquarters offices located in Zurich, Switzerland and through facilities located throughout Europe. The Asia/Pacific area operations are headquartered in Hong Kong. KGF operations outside of the United States and Canada are directed from the Kraft General Foods International headquarters in Rye Brook, New York. Advertising is tailored by product and country to reach targeted audiences.
KGF is subject to highly competitive conditions in virtually all aspects of its business. Competitors include large national and international companies and numerous local and regional companies. Its food products also compete with generic products and private label products of food retailers, wholesalers and cooperatives. KGF competes primarily on the basis of product quality, service, marketing, advertising and price.
KGF is a major purchaser of milk, cheese, green coffee beans, poultry, meat cuts, wheat, cocoa, rice, eggs, shortening, vegetable oil, aspartame, flour, fruits and berries, sugar, corn syrup, herbs and spices and tomato products. KGF continuously monitors worldwide supply and cost trends of these commodities to enable it to take appropriate action to obtain ingredients needed for production.
KGF purchases all of its milk requirements from outside sources, principally from cooperatives and individual producers and a substantial part of its cheddar cheese requirements from outside sources, principally cooperatives and independent cheese processors, all pursuant to both contractual relationships and informal arrangements. The prices for United States milk purchases are substantially influenced by the floor prices established by the milk price support program administered by the USDA. The prices paid for cheese in the United States are based upon or substantially influenced by weekly quotations on the National Cheese Exchange in Green Bay, Wisconsin. See "Regulation" below.
The most significant cost item in coffee products is green coffee beans, which are purchased on world markets. Green coffee bean prices are affected by the quality and availability of supply, trade agreements among producing and consuming nations, the unilateral policies of the producing nations, changes in the value of the United States dollar in relation to certain other currencies and consumer demand for coffee products.
The price paid for poultry (turkey) and meat cuts (pork, beef, turkey and chicken), the principal raw materials used in manufacturing Oscar Mayer and Louis Rich branded products, is the major factor in the cost of these products. Poultry and meat prices are affected by market demand and supply. Meats for Oscar Mayer processed products are provided primarily by bulk market purchases.
KGF is also a major user of packaging materials purchased from many suppliers.
The prices paid for food product raw materials generally reflect external forces, among which weather conditions and commodity market activities are significant. Although the prices of the principal raw materials required by KGF can be expected to fluctuate as a result of government actions and/or market forces (which would directly affect the cost of products and value of inventories), such materials are generally in adequate supply and available from numerous sources.
Regulation
Almost all of KGF's United States food products (and packaging materials therefor) are subject to regulations administered by the Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA"), or, with respect to products containing meat and poultry, the USDA. Among other things, the FDA enforces statutory prohibitions against misbranded and adulterated foods, establishes ingredients and/or manufacturing procedures for certain standard foods, establishes standards of identity for food, determines the safety of food substances and establishes labelling standards for food products. FDA regulations may, in certain instances, affect the ability of KGF's United States operating units to develop and market new products and to utilize technological innovations in the processing of existing products. The Nutrition Labelling and Education Act of 1991 (the "NLEA") mandates nutrition labelling on a majority of the food products packaged for sale in the United States. In January 1993, the FDA adopted rules and regulations under the NLEA, including rules requiring extensive re-labelling of virtually all of the products of General Foods USA and Kraft USA. Similar rules and regulations have been adopted by the USDA to cover meat and poultry products. The effective date for the new requirements is May 1994. Management believes that compliance with the new requirements will not have a material adverse impact on the Company's results of operations.
In addition, various states regulate the business of KGF's United States operating units by licensing dairy plants, enforcing federal and state standards of identity for food, grading food products, inspecting plants, regulating certain trade practices in connection with the sale of dairy products and imposing their own labelling requirements on food products.
The prices paid for grade-A raw milk in the United States are controlled in most areas by Federal Milk Marketing Orders or state regulatory agencies. Such orders and agencies establish basic minimum prices, with adjustments based upon usage and geographic location. In some areas, prices for raw milk also include additional premiums charged by suppliers. In addition, the USDA sets a support price, which serves as a floor for the price at which the Commodity Credit Corporation (the "CCC"), an arm of the USDA, will purchase cheese, butter and milk powder. From time to time, KGF (as well as other cheese producers) sells excess cheese production to the CCC.
Almost all of the activities of Kraft General Foods International and Kraft General Foods Canada are subject to the same kinds of regulation as KGF's United States businesses. Each of the operations and locations of these units is subject to local and national and, in some cases, international (such as the European Community) regulatory provisions. The rules and regulations relate to labelling, packaging, food content, pricing, marketing and advertising and related areas.
BEER
Products
Miller's major brands are Miller Lite, which was the largest selling reduced- calorie beer and second largest selling brand in the United States in 1993; Miller High Life, which, in 1993, was repositioned as a near-premium beer in 40 states by reducing its price; Miller Genuine Draft, which is one of the fastest growing premium beers in the United States; Meister Brau and Milwaukee's Best, sold in the below-premium segment of the United States market; Lowenbrau, brewed and sold in the United States under a license agreement with Lowenbrau Munchen AG; Sharp's, a brewed non-alcohol beverage; and Miller Reserve, a super-premium beer introduced in 1992. Miller Lite, Miller Genuine Draft, Milwaukee's Best and Miller High Life are among the top ten selling beers in the United States. Shipment volume of Miller beer and brewed non-alcohol beverages (including exports) increased 4.3% in 1993 compared with 1992. This increase resulted principally from the acquisition of Molson Breweries U.S.A., Inc. and higher volumes for Miller High Life and Miller Genuine Draft. In 1993, Miller High Life shipments, in aggregate, increased 11.0%, as a result of being repositioned as a near-premium beer in 40 states. Miller shipments in the premium segment (excluding Miller High Life) were up .6%, reflecting volume growth in Miller Genuine Draft, partially offset by declines in Miller Lite. Shipments in the below-premium segment were down .9%.
The following table sets forth, based on shipments, the industry's sales of beer and brewed non-alcohol beverages as estimated by Miller, Miller's unit sales and its share of industry sales:
In 1993, Miller acquired a 20% equity interest in Canada's Molson Breweries and all of the United States import operations of Molson Breweries U.S.A., Inc., including United States marketing and distribution rights for Molson brands.
Distribution, Competition and Raw Materials
Beer products are distributed primarily through independent beer wholesalers. The United States malt beverage industry is highly competitive, with the principal methods of competition being product quality, price, distribution, marketing and advertising. Miller engages in a wide variety of advertising and sales promotion activities. Barley, hops, corn and water represent the principal ingredients used in manufacturing Miller's beer products and are generally available in the market. The production process, which includes fermentation and aging periods, is conducted throughout the year and at any one time Miller has on hand
only a small quantity of finished products. Containers (bottles, cans and kegs) for beer products are purchased from various suppliers.
Regulation
The Alcoholic Beverage Labeling Act of 1988 requires all alcoholic beverages manufactured for sale in the United States to include the following warning statement on containers: GOVERNMENT WARNING: (1) According to the Surgeon General, women should not drink alcoholic beverages during pregnancy because of the risk of birth defects; (2) Consumption of alcoholic beverages impairs your ability to drive a car or operate machinery and may cause health problems. The statute empowers the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (the "BATF") to promulgate regulations to prescribe the size and format of the warning. The BATF has published a notice in the Federal Register seeking information which will enable the BATF to report to Congress as to whether the wording of the warning statement should be amended. In addition, various legislative and regulatory proposals to prohibit or restrict the advertising and marketing of alcoholic beverages are being considered. Such warning statement requirements and any restrictions on advertising and marketing, if enacted, could have an adverse impact on Miller's sales, but it is not possible to predict their long- term effects or whether such additional restrictions will be enacted.
The federal excise tax is 32 cents per package of six 12-ounce containers. Excise taxes, sales taxes and other taxes affecting beer are also levied by various states, counties and municipalities. In the opinion of management, the federal excise tax, which doubled in 1991, has had and could continue to have an adverse effect on sales.
FINANCIAL SERVICES AND REAL ESTATE
Philip Morris Capital Corporation ("PMCC") invests in leveraged and single- investor leases and other tax-oriented financing transactions and third-party financial instruments and also engages in various financing activities for customers and suppliers of the Company's other subsidiaries. Total assets increased to $5.7 billion at year-end 1993 as compared to $5.3 billion at year- end 1992, reflecting among other things the net investment of an additional $70 million in finance assets and limited partnerships and $150 million of unrealized appreciation on securities available for sale recognized pursuant to SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," adopted effective December 31, 1993.
Mission Viejo Company ("Mission Viejo"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of PMCC, is engaged principally in land planning, development and sales in southern California and in the Denver, Colorado area.
CUSTOMERS
None of the Company's business segments is dependent upon a single customer or a few customers, the loss of which would have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations.
EMPLOYEES
At December 31, 1993, the Company employed approximately 173,000 people worldwide.
TRADEMARKS
Trademarks are of material importance to all three of the Company's consumer products businesses and are protected by registration or otherwise in the United States and most other markets where the related products are sold.
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations and involved in proceedings thereunder concerning the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise related to environmental protection, including the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and
Liability Act (commonly known as "Superfund"). In 1993, subsidiaries (or former subsidiaries) of the Company were parties to approximately 134 proceedings involving potential liability under Superfund and for other environmental project clean-up costs. The Company and its subsidiaries expect to continue to make capital and other expenditures in connection with environmental laws and regulations. Compliance with such laws and regulations, including the payment of any monetary sanctions resulting from governmental proceedings, and the making of such expenditures are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, capital expenditures or competitive position.
FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC OPERATIONS AND EXPORT SALES
The amounts of operating revenues, operating profit and identifiable assets attributable to each of the Company's geographic regions and the amount of export sales from the United States for each of the last three fiscal years are set forth in note 11 to the Company's consolidated financial statements incorporated herein by reference to the Company's annual report to stockholders for the year ended December 31, 1993.
KGF, Miller and subsidiaries of Philip Morris International export coffee products, grocery products, cheese, processed meats, beer, tobacco and tobacco related products. In 1993 the value of all exports from the United States by these subsidiaries amounted to approximately $4.5 billion.

GENERAL
