ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL
International Paper Company,* a New York corporation incorporated in 1941 as the successor to the New York corporation of the same name organized in 1898, is a worldwide producer of printing and writing papers, paperboard and packaging, wood products and distributes paper and office supply products in both the United States and Europe. It also produces pulp, laminated products, and specialty products, including photosensitive films and papers, nonwovens, chemicals and minerals.
In the United States, the Company operates 26 pulp and paper mills, 54 converting and packaging plants, 43 wood products facilities, 15 specialty panels and laminated products plants, six nonwoven products facilities and seven envelope plants. Production facilities in Europe, Asia, Latin America and Canada include 14 pulp and paper mills, 32 converting and packaging plants, three wood products facilities, three specialty panels and laminated products plants and five nonwoven products facilities.
The Company distributes fine paper, printing and industrial products and building materials, primarily manufactured by other companies, through about 255 distribution branches located primarily in the United States. In addition, the Company produces photosensitive films and papers and photographic equipment (three U.S. and six international locations) and specialty chemicals (seven U.S. and two international locations), and engages in domestic oil and gas and real estate activities.
In March 1994, the Company, through a subsidiary, acquired approximately one-half of Brierley Investments Limited's (Brierley) holdings in Carter Holt Harvey Limited (Carter Holt), a major New Zealand forest products and paper company with substantial assets in Chile. The purchase increased the Company's ownership of Carter Holt to 24 percent and leaves Brierley with 8 percent.
In April 1993, the Company acquired certain assets of the Los Angeles-based Ingram Paper Company, a distributor of industrial and fine printing papers. In December, JB Papers, Inc., a paper distribution company located in Union, N.J., was purchased. Also in December, the assets of Monsanto Company's Kentucky-based Fome-Cor division, a manufacturer of polystyrene foam products, were acquired.
In the first quarter of 1992, the operating assets of Western Paper Company (Western Pacific), a printing and industrial paper distribution business based in Portland, Oregon, were purchased. In the second quarter, the Company acquired an equity interest in Scitex Corporation Ltd. (Scitex), an Israel-based world leader in color electronic prepress systems for the graphic design, printing and publishing industries. In the third quarter, Zaklady Celulozowa-Papierniecze S.A. w Kwidzynie (Kwidzyn) was acquired from the Government of the Republic of Poland. Kwidzyn is Poland's largest white papers manufacturer and the only integrated bleached pulp and paper company. In the fourth quarter, certain assets of the chemical division of Norway-based M. Peterson & Son AS (Peterson) were acquired.
In the first quarter of 1991, the Company purchased certain packaging and sheeting facilities located in France (the Rhone Valley packaging business) from Georgia-Pacific Corporation. In April, the packaging equipment division of United Dominion Industries Ltd. (Evergreen Packaging Equipment) was purchased. Also in April, the Company acquired the common stock of Dillard Paper Company, a wholesale distributor of printing and industrial papers, packaging equipment and supplies based in the southern United States. In August, the Company completed a merger with Leslie Paper Co., a paper distribution firm headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, using the pooling-of-interests method of accounting. In November, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Brierley to control 32% of Carter Holt. In December, the common stock of Scaldia Papier BV, a paper distribution company based in Nijmegen, Netherlands, primarily distributing coated and uncoated papers to the graphics industry, was purchased.
- ------------------ * Unless otherwise indicated by the context, the terms 'Company' and 'International Paper' are used interchangeably to describe International Paper Company and its consolidated subsidiaries.
All of the 1993, 1992 and 1991 acquisitions, except the merger with Leslie Paper Co., were accounted for using the purchase method. The effects of these mergers and acquisitions, individually or in the aggregate, were not significant to the Company's consolidated financial statements.
A further discussion of mergers and acquisitions can be found on page 48 of the Company's 1993 Annual Report to Shareholders (the 'Annual Report'), which information is incorporated herein by reference.
From 1989 through 1993, International Paper's capital expenditures approximated $5.7 billion, excluding mergers and acquisitions. These expenditures reflect continuing efforts to improve product quality, environmental performance, lower costs, expand production capacity, and acquire and improve forestlands. Capital spending in 1993 was $954 million and is expected to exceed $1.1 billion in 1994. A further discussion of capital expenditures can be found on pages 37 and 38 of the Annual Report, which information is incorporated herein by reference.
The Company, which owns a majority interest in IP Timberlands, Ltd., a Texas limited partnership ('IPT'), controlled approximately 6.2 million acres of forestlands in the United States at December 31, 1993. IPT was formed to succeed to substantially all of International Paper's forest products business for the period 1985 through 2035, unless earlier terminated. A further discussion of IPT can be found on pages 28 and 47 of the Annual Report, which information is incorporated herein by reference.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION CONCERNING INDUSTRY SEGMENTS
The financial information concerning industry segments is set forth on pages 37 and 41 of the Annual Report, which information is incorporated herein by reference.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT INTERNATIONAL AND DOMESTIC OPERATIONS
The financial information concerning international and domestic operations and export sales is set forth on page 40 of the Annual Report, which information is incorporated herein by reference.
COMPETITION AND COSTS
Despite the size of the Company's manufacturing capacities for paper, paperboard, packaging and pulp products, the markets in all of the cited product lines are large and highly fragmented. The markets for wood and specialty products are similarly large and fragmented. There are numerous competitors, and the major markets, both domestic and international, in which the Company sells its principal products are very competitive. These products are in competition with similar products produced by others, and in some instances, with products produced by other industries from other materials.
Many factors influence the Company's competitive position, including prices, costs, product quality and services. Information on the impact of prices and costs on operating profits is contained on pages 10, 16, 20, 26, 30 and 36 through 39 of the Annual Report, which information is incorporated herein by reference.
MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION
Paper and packaging products are sold through the Company's own sales organization directly to users or converters for manufacture. Sales offices are located throughout the United States as well as internationally. Significant volumes of products are also sold through paper merchants and distributors, including facilities in the Company's distribution network.
The Company's U.S. production of lumber and plywood is marketed through independent and Company-owned distribution centers. Specialty products are marketed through various channels of distribution.
DESCRIPTION OF PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS
The Company's principal products are described on pages 6 through 31 of the Annual Report, which information is incorporated herein by reference.
Production of major products for 1993, 1992 and 1991 was as follows:
PRODUCTION BY PRODUCTS (UNAUDITED)
- ------------------ (1) This excludes market pulp purchases of approximately 600,000 tons annually.
(2) A significant portion of this tonnage was fabricated from paperboard and paper produced at the Company's own mills and included in the containerboard, bleached packaging board and industrial papers figures in this table.
(3) Panels include plywood and oriented strand board.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The Company operates research and development centers at Sterling Forest,
New York; Mobile, Alabama; Erie, Pennsylvania; Kaukauna, Wisconsin; Binghamton, New York; South Walpole, Massachusetts; St. Charles, Illinois; Jacksonville, Florida; Holyoke, Massachusetts; Mobberley, United Kingdom; Morley, United Kingdom; Munich, Germany; Fribourg, Switzerland; Saint-Priest, France; and Annecy, France; a regional center for applied forest research in Bainbridge, Georgia; and several product laboratories. Research and development activities are directed to short-term, long-term and technical assistance needs of customers and operating divisions; process, equipment and product innovations; and improvements of profits through tree generation and propagation research. Activities include studies on improved forest species and management; innovation and improvement of pulping, bleaching, chemical recovery, papermaking and coating processes; innovation and improvement of photographic materials and processes, printing plates, pressroom/plate chemistries and plate processors; reduction of environmental discharges; re-use of raw materials in manufacturing processes; recycling of consumer and packaging paper products; energy conservation; applications of computer controls to manufacturing operations; innovations and improvement of products; and development of various new products. Product development efforts specifically address product safety as well as the minimization of solid waste. The cost to the Company of its research and development operations was $94.7 million in 1993, $91.1 million in 1992 and $82.7 million in 1991.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Control over discharges of pollutants into the air, water and groundwater to avoid significant adverse impacts on the environment and to achieve 100% compliance with regulations is a continuing objective of the Company. The Company has invested substantial funds to modify facilities to assure compliance with applicable environmental quality laws and plans to make substantial capital expenditures for these purposes in the future. A total of $100 million was spent in 1993 to control air and water pollution and to assure environmentally sound disposal of solid waste. The Company expects to spend in the order of $160 million in 1994 for similar capital programs. Amounts to be spent for environmental control facilities in future years will depend on new laws and regulations and other changes in legal requirements, and changes in environmental concerns. Taking these uncertainties into account, the Company's preliminary estimate for additional environmental appropriations during the period 1995 through 1996 is in the range of $500 to $600 million. In December 1993, the United States Environmental Protection Agency ('EPA') proposed new guidelines for air emissions and water discharge for the pulp and paper industry to meet in 1998 known as 'Cluster Rulemaking'. It also proposed regulations implementing the Great Lakes Initiative ('GLI') covering water quality and implementation procedures. Future spending will be heavily influenced by the final standards included within each of the sets of proposed regulations. We estimate the Company's future capital spending to comply with the Cluster Rulemaking and GLI requirements to be between $700 million and $1.5 billion depending upon the methods allowed by the regulations to meet overall requirements. A portion of this spending is reflected in the 1995 to 1996 spending forecast. In addition, annual operating costs, excluding depreciation, are expected to increase between $60 million and $120 million when these regulations are fully implemented in 1998. The Company expects the significant effort it has made in the analysis of environmental issues and the development
of environmental control technology to enable it to keep costs for compliance with environmental regulations at, or below, industry averages. A further discussion of environmental issues can be found on pages 33, 34, 38 and 39 of the Annual Report, which information is incorporated herein by reference.
As of December 31, 1993, $755 million of industrial and pollution control revenue bonds, secured by Company contractual obligations, were outstanding in 51 political subdivisions of various states, counties and municipalities, primarily to finance environmental control projects located at or in conjunction with the Company's plants in those subdivisions. It is contemplated that additional industrial revenue bonds will be issued from time to time to finance other environmental control projects, provided tax law changes do not curtail the Company's access to the municipal bond market.
EMPLOYEES
As of December 31, 1993, the Company had approximately 72,500 employees, of whom approximately 52,000 were located in the United States and the remainder overseas. Of these, approximately 44,500 are hourly employees, many of whom are represented by the United Paperworkers International Union.
During 1993, new labor agreements were reached at the Mobile, Oswego, Riverdale and Millers Falls mills. At year end, negotiations were still in progress at the Beckett, Erie and Pine Bluff mills.
During 1994, labor agreements are scheduled to be negotiated at the following mills: Camden and Natchez. During 1995 labor agreements are scheduled to be negotiated at the following mills: Georgetown, Turners Falls, Ward and Hudson River.
During 1993, labor agreements expired at 17 packaging plants, one forest research facility, one chemical plant, two wood products plants, three specialty products plants and seven distribution operations. Multiyear labor agreements were negotiated at each location, except one converted paper products plant in South San Francisco, California, where negotiations were still in progress at year end. One packaging plant at Mount Carmel, Pennsylvania and one distribution operation at Minneapolis, Minnesota have contracts remaining open from a previous year.
RAW MATERIALS
For information as to the sources and availability of raw materials essential to the Company's business, see Item 2
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
FORESTLANDS
The principal raw material used by International Paper is wood in various forms. At December 31, 1993, IPT, a limited partnership in which the Company has a majority ownership interest, controlled approximately 6.0 million acres of forestlands in the U.S. while an additional 0.2 million acres are held under
short term leases to International Paper.
During 1993, such forestlands supplied 1.4 million cords of roundwood to the Company's U.S. facilities. This amounted to the following percentages of the roundwood requirements of its mills and forest products facilities: 15% in its Northern mills, 14% in its Southern mills and none in its Western mill. The balance was acquired from other private industrial and nonindustrial forestland owners, as well as the United States government. In addition, 3.3 million cords of IPT's wood were sold to other users in 1993.
MILLS AND PLANTS
A listing of the Company's production facilities can be found in Appendix I hereto, which information is incorporated herein by reference.
All mills and converting facilities are owned by the Company, except one mill and 13 plants in the United States and two non-U.S. facilities, which are leased. The Company believes that these facilities are in good operating condition and are suited for the purposes for which they are presently being used. The Company continues to study the economics of modernizing or adopting other alternatives for higher cost facilities. Further discussions of new mill and plant projects can be found on pages 37 and 38 of the Annual Report, which information is incorporated herein by reference.
CAPITAL INVESTMENTS AND DISPOSITIONS
Given the size, scope and complexity of its business interests, International Paper continuously examines and evaluates a wide variety of business opportunities and planning alternatives, including possible acquisitions and sales or other dispositions of properties. Planned capital investments for 1994, as of December 31, 1993, are set forth on pages 37 and 38 of the Annual Report, which information is incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 3.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
DIOXIN LITIGATION
On July 31, 1992, 77 plaintiffs, all residents of Arkansas, filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas, alleging that the Company polluted the Sulfur River by discharging chemicals, including dioxin, from its Domino, Texas plant. This case was settled in December, 1993 at which time there were 54 plaintiffs remaining in the litigation. The terms of the settlement are confidential.
On June 11, 1993, a lawsuit purporting to be a class action was filed by individuals against the Company, Dow Chemical and other individual employees of both companies in the 18th Judicial District of Louisiana seeking compensatory and punitive damages of an unspecified amount for alleged claims similar to those raised in the previously-filed lawsuits. The case has been removed to the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana.
Beginning in November of 1990, the Company has been named as a defendant in 88 lawsuits by individuals filed in state or federal court in Mississippi alleging that it has polluted and damaged the Pascagoula, Leaf and Escatawpa
Rivers by releasing dioxin and over 40 other chemicals into those rivers. Georgia-Pacific was initially named in most of these suits but an order severing it from the Company in all the then pending cases was entered
on September 15, 1992. Following the severance order, nine of the State cases were removed from state court to Federal District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi. Of the nine cases that were removed, two have been dismissed.
On May 24, 1993, a wrongful death action was filed in Mississippi state court against the Company claiming that decedent's death was related to exposure to hazardous and toxic substances from the Moss Point mill. The lawsuit also included the independent survivorship claims of the widow. The complaint raises claims similar to those in the previously-filed lawsuits and also contains specific allegations relating to the disposal of sludge by the mill. The plaintiff seeks compensatory damages of $1 million and punitive damages of $20 million. The case has been removed to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi.
On June 26, 1993, a lawsuit was filed against the Company, Georgia-Pacific and individual employees of both companies in Mississippi state court by 20 plaintiffs alleging claims similar to those raised in previously-filed lawsuits. The plaintiffs seek an unspecified amount of compensatory and punitive damages. On October 22, 1993, Georgia-Pacific and its individual employee-defendants were severed from the Company.
On September 28, 1993, 221 plaintiffs filed a lawsuit in the state court of Mississippi claiming that the Company polluted the Pascagoula and Escatawpa Rivers by discharging chemicals, including dioxin from its Moss Point mill. The plaintiffs seek compensatory damages of $33 million, punitive damages of $221 million and injunctive relief.
On December 15, 1992, a lawsuit purporting to be a class action was filed against the Company in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi (Biloxi). The plaintiffs seek unspecified compensatory and punitive damages for the alleged violation by the Company of Federal environmental laws relating to dioxin and other chemicals associated with the operations of the Moss Point Mill. On February 18, 1994, the judge denied the plaintiffs' motion to certify the class and the lawsuit will proceed forward with only the two named individuals as plaintiffs.
In summary, taking into account various dismissals and new filings, there are 71 cases pending in state court and eight pending in federal court for a total of 79 Mississippi cases as of February 1, 1994. In these cases, both state and federal, there are a total of 5,093 plaintiffs seeking total compensatory damages of approximately $1.0 billion, punitive damages of approximately $8.4 billion and injunctive relief. While any of this litigation has an element of uncertainty, the Company believes that the outcome of any of these proceedings, lawsuits or claims, pending or threatened, or all of them combined, will not have a materially adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
OTHER LITIGATION
On October 14, 1993, the Town of Jay, Maine assessed a penalty of $394,000 against the Company's Androscoggin mill for violations of its air permit under the Town's Environmental Control and Improvement Ordinance attributable to excess emissions of particulate from one of the mill's lime kilns, as well as violations of certain reporting requirements. The Town's penalty assessment has been appealed.
The Maine Department of Environmental Protection proposed on October 15, 1992 that the Androscoggin mill enter into an Administrative Consent Agreement and Enforcement Order and pay a civil penalty of $217,892 because the particulate emissions from the same lime kiln which was the subject of the foregoing proceeding with the Town of Jay, had exceeded the limits in the state air license. Settlement discussions are no longer being conducted and the State has filed a lawsuit against the Company. Although no specific amount is claimed in the complaint, presumably the State will seek civil penalties in excess of the amount it had originally proposed.
On November 15, 1993, the Thilmany division of the Company agreed with the EPA, Region 5, to pay a penalty of $150,000 for alleged violations of the Clean Air Act in 1988 at the Thilmany mill located in Kaukauna, Wisconsin. The settlement in the form of a consent decree must be approved by the federal court having jurisdiction of the civil action.
In 1990, the Missouri Attorney General's office notified the Company that it was preparing an enforcement action alleging violations of the hazardous waste management rules at the Company's treated wood plant in Joplin, Missouri. Settlement discussions with the Attorney General's office are in progress.
In 1989, Masonite Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ('Masonite'), modified a production line to make a new product at a facility in Ukiah, California. The facility obtained the necessary Authority to Construct permits from the appropriate authority. In May 1992 the EPA, Region 9, issued an order alleging that an additional Prevention of Significant Deterioration permit was required for the new product line. The Company and the EPA are in settlement discussions and civil penalties are anticipated.
Separate lawsuits were filed in the Superior Court, Mendocino County, California, in July 1992 against Masonite by the Mendocino County Air Pollution Control District and the California Air Resources Board. Both lawsuits, which were later consolidated, allege non-compliance with the California Air Toxics Hot Spots Information and Assessment Act of 1987 by Masonite's Ukiah, California, facility. The alleged non-compliance relates to an emissions plan allegedly required to be filed by August 1, 1989 but allegedly not filed until November 5, 1990. Additionally, the lawsuits allege that the molded products line was operated without a required permit. The lawsuits were settled in April 1993 for a civil penalty of $250,000 and a commitment to conduct additional environmental audits. This settlement terminated the proceeding.
In May 1992 the EPA, Region 4, filed an administrative action alleging that Arizona Chemical Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, at a
facility located in Gulfport, Mississippi, failed to comply with regulations that govern the burning of hazardous wastes in the facility's boiler. The action, which sought a civil penalty of $274,500, was settled in February 1994 for a civil penalty of $95,000. This settlement terminated the proceedings.
On September 21, 1993 the EPA, Region 4, filed an administrative action alleging that an Arizona Chemical facility in Panama City, Florida, failed to comply with regulations that govern the burning of hazardous wastes in the facility's boiler. The action seeks a civil penalty of $334,600. Settlement negotiations are in progress.
The Company has been advised by the State of New York of an impending enforcement action concerning the power boiler at the Company's Ticonderoga, New York, paper mill. The action would involve civil penalties. Settlement discussions are in progress.
As of March 30, 1994, there were no other pending judicial proceedings, brought by governmental authorities against the Company, for alleged violations of applicable environmental laws or regulations. The Company is engaged in various administrative proceedings that arise under applicable environmental and safety laws or regulations, including approximately 62 active proceedings under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ('CERCLA') and comparable state laws. Most of these proceedings involve the cleanup of hazardous substances at large commercial landfills that received waste from many different sources. While joint and several liability is authorized under the CERCLA, as a practical matter, liability for CERCLA cleanups is allocated among the many waste generators. Based upon previous experience with respect to the cleanup of hazardous substances and upon presently available information, the Company believes that it has no or de minimus liability with respect to 18 of these sites; that liability is not likely to be significant at 21 sites; and that estimates of liability at 23 of these sites is likely to be significant but not material to the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
The Company is also involved in other contractual disputes, administrative and legal proceedings and investigations of various types. While any litigation, proceeding or investigation has an element of uncertainty, the Company believes that the outcome of any proceeding, lawsuit or claim that is pending or threatened, or all of them combined, will not have a materially adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
