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 and 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 24 pulp and paper mills, 53 converting and packaging plants, 43 wood products facilities, 15 specialty panels and laminated products plants, six nonwoven products facilities and two envelope plants. Production facilities in Europe, Asia, Latin America and Canada include 13 pulp and paper mills, 29 converting and packaging plants, two wood products facilities, four 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 over 280 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 January 1995, the Company acquired the assets of two Michigan-based paper distributors, Carpenter Paper Company and Seaman-Patrick Holding Company.
In March 1994, the Company, through a subsidiary, acquired from Brierley Investments Limited an additional 8 percent interest in Carter Holt Harvey Limited (Carter Holt), a major New Zealand forest and paper products company with substantial assets in Chile. The purchase increased the Company's ownership of Carter Holt to 24 percent. In July 1994, the Company, through a subsidiary, acquired certain assets of Papelera Kif and Ogi Papel, distributors of printing papers in Juarez and Chihuahua, Mexico. In December 1994, the Company completed a merger with Kirk Paper Corporation, a paper distributor located in Downey, California using the pooling-of-interests accounting method, and acquired additional stock of Zanders Feinpapiere AG.
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, J.B. 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., an Israel-based world leader in digital visual information communication for the graphic design, printing, publishing and video 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 were acquired.
All of the 1994, 1993 and 1992 acquisitions, except the merger with Kirk Paper Corporation, were accounted for using the purchase method. The effects of these mergers and acquisitions, both individually and 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 51 of the Company's 1994 Annual Report to Shareholders (the 'Annual Report'), which information is incorporated herein by reference.
------------------ * Unless otherwise indicated by the context, the terms 'Company' and 'International Paper' are used interchangeably to describe International Paper Company and its consolidated subsidiaries.
From 1990 through 1994, International Paper's capital expenditures approximated $5.9 billion, excluding mergers and acquisitions. These expenditures reflect continuing efforts to improve product quality and environmental performance, lower costs, expand production capacity, and acquire and improve forestlands. Capital spending in 1994 was $1.1 billion and is expected to exceed $1.3 billion in 1995. A further discussion of capital expenditures can be found on pages 12, 40 and 41 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 6.1 million acres of forestlands in the United States at December 31, 1994. IPT was formed to succeed to substantially all of International Paper's forest products business for the period 1985 through 2035, unless earlier terminated.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION CONCERNING INDUSTRY SEGMENTS
The financial information concerning industry segments is set forth on pages 40 and 44 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 43 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 28 through 42 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 4 through 39 of the Annual Report, which information is incorporated herein by reference.
Production of major products for 1994, 1993 and 1992 was as follows:
PRODUCTION BY PRODUCTS (UNAUDITED)
------------------ (1) This excludes market pulp purchases of approximately 700,000 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; Orange Park, Florida; Holyoke, Massachusetts; Odenton, Maryland; 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 $102.6 million in 1994, $94.7 million in 1993, and $91.1 million in 1992.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Control over discharges of pollutants into the air, water, soil 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
$95 million was spent in 1994 to control air and water pollution and to assure environmentally sound disposal of solid and hazardous waste. The Company expects to spend approximately $160 million in 1995 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, changes in environmental concerns and changes in technology. Taking these uncertainties into account, the Company's preliminary estimate for additional environmental appropriations during the period 1996 through 1997 is in the range of $400 to $600 million. In December 1993, the United States Environmental Protection Agency ('EPA') proposed new guidelines for air emissions and water discharges 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 regulations. Last year, the Company estimated 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 final regulations to meet requirements. While there are ongoing discussions with the EPA and Congress concerning these rules, there have been no announced changes to the proposals and thus the estimates remain valid at this time. As a result of these ongoing discussions, there is some basis to expect that the EPA will make moderating adjustments to these rules and, if so, the range of estimated capital spending would be adjusted downward. Last year, the Company estimated that annual operating costs, excluding depreciation, would increase between $60 million and $120 million when these regulations are fully implemented in 1998 or 1999. This estimate will also be adjusted to the extent the EPA makes moderating changes. 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 22 through 26, 41 and 42 of the Annual Report, which information is incorporated herein by reference.
As of December 31, 1994, $848 million of industrial and pollution control revenue bonds, secured by Company contractual obligations, were outstanding in 57 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, 1994, the Company had approximately 70,000 employees, of whom approximately 52,000 were located in the United States and the remainder overseas. Of these, approximately 44,500 are hourly employees, approximately 16,000 of whom are represented by the United Paperworkers International Union.
During 1994, new labor agreements were reached at the Camden, Natchez and Pine Bluff mills. Currently, negotiations are still in progress at the Erie mill. Two mills, Turners Falls and Ward, closed.
During 1995, labor agreements are scheduled to be negotiated at the
following mills: Georgetown and Hudson River. During 1996 labor agreements are scheduled to be negotiated at the following mills: Gardiner, Pineville, Texarkana, Thilmany, Ticonderoga and Woronoco.
During 1994, labor agreements expired at 10 packaging plants, three chemical plants, three wood products plants, four land and timber operations, two specialty products plants and eight distribution operations. Multiyear labor agreements were negotiated at each location except one land and timber operation and two distribution operations where negotiations were still in progress at year end. One packaging plant has a contract 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, 1994, IPT, a limited partnership in which the Company has a majority ownership interest, controlled approximately 5.9 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 1994, such forestlands supplied 1.3 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: 13% in its Northern mills, 12% 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, 2.9 million cords of IPT's wood were sold to other users in 1994.
In November 1994, the Company adopted the Sustainable Forestry Principles developed by the American Forest and Paper Association in August 1994.
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.
The Company's 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 12, 40 and 41 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 1995, as of December 31, 1994, are set forth on pages 12, 40 and 41 of the Annual Report, which information is incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 3.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
DIOXIN LITIGATION
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, alleging that the Company polluted Staulkinghead Creek and all waterways south thereof, by discharging chemicals, including dioxin, from its Bastrop, Louisiana mill. The case was removed to the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana. On June 22, 1994, the Court entered an order dismissing Dow and its employees from the case. The plaintiff is appealing that ruling, as well as the Federal jurisdictional issue. Oral argument in the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals is set for April 3, 1995, with a ruling expected before the end of this year.
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, four have been dismissed. The remaining five cases are set for trial on April 17, 1995.
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 and is currently scheduled for trial in August 1995. Through a series of pre-trial rulings by the Court and voluntary dismissals by the plaintiff, the claims in this lawsuit have been reduced to a claim for wrongful death based on fish consumption and claims for negligent and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
All of the 70 cases currently pending in the Mississippi state court have been consolidated before one judge. A proposed scheduling order has been presented requesting that the first trial of these cases be set in November 1995. The judge has not yet entered a scheduling order.
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. The plaintiffs obtained a voluntary dismissal of this case over the objections of the Company shortly thereafter.
In summary, taking into account various dismissals and new filings, there are 70 cases pending in state court and six pending in Federal Court for a total of 76 Mississippi cases as of February 28, 1995. In these cases, both state and federal, there are a total of 5,090 plaintiffs seeking total compensatory damages of approximately $1.0 billion, punitive damages of approximately $8.2 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 was appealed. On September 28, 1994, the Maine Superior Court vacated most of the penalty the Town had assessed, leaving $22,000 in place but providing the Town with the opportunity to reassess the penalty on four violations. The Town appealed this decision to the Law Court, the State's highest court. The Company has also appealed the findings adverse to it.
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. Further proceedings in this litigation have been suspended until the aforementioned litigation by the Town of Jay has been resolved by the Law Court. 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 was approved by the Federal Court having jurisdiction of the civil
action on August 3, 1994, terminating this 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. On July 18, 1994, the Company entered into a consent decree with the Attorney General's office and the Department of Natural Resources, which resolved the enforcement action. The settlement included a civil penalty of $273,500.
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. On January 18, 1995, a consent decree which resolved this matter was lodged with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The consent decree includes a civil penalty of $600,000.
On September 29, 1994, Arizona Chemical Company ('Arizona'), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Consent Agreement and Consent Order with the EPA which resolves an enforcement action alleging violations of rules which govern the burning of hazardous waste fuel in a boiler at an Arizona facility in Panama City, Florida. The settlement includes a civil penalty of $200,000.
On September 26, 1994, the EPA issued a Complaint and Compliance Order alleging that an Arizona facility in Gulfport, Mississippi violated regulations governing the burning of hazardous waste fuel in an industrial boiler. The Complaint seeks a civil penalty of $712,350. The Company has filed its Answer to the Complaint and Compliance Order.
The Company was advised in 1993 by the State of New York of an impending enforcement action concerning emissions from the power boiler at the Company's Ticonderoga, New York, paper mill. In July 1994 the Company entered into an Order on Consent with the State, which settles with the State all outstanding emissions matters concerning the mill's power boiler. The Order requires the Company to install new control equipment on the power boiler in accordance with a schedule and assessed a penalty against the Company of $175,000, of which $25,000 was suspended so long as the Company complies with the provisions of the Order.
As of March 30, 1995, 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 71 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 potential responsible parties. 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 27 of these sites; that liability is not likely to be significant at 28 sites; and that estimates of liability at 16 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.
