NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim
financial statements reflect all adjustments, of a normal and
recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the results for the
interim periods presented.
2. Net income used in the computation of earnings per common share
assuming no dilution is reduced by preferred dividend requirements.
Earnings per common share assuming full dilution for all periods
presented excludes the conversion of the Company's $2.875 convertible
preferred stock as the effect is antidilutive.
3. The second quarter 1994 dividend was declared on June 21,1994 and
is presented in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement
of Income for presentation purposes only.
4. The provision for income taxes in the Condensed Consolidated Statement
of Income includes a favorable adjustment of $3.2 million due to the
settlement of prior year tax audits. The overall effective tax rate
for the twenty-four weeks ended June 18, 1994 and June 19, 1993 was
17.2% and 37.8%, respectively. The overall effective tax rate for the
full year 1994 is estimated to be approximately 36.3%.
5. The Company manages certain portions of its exposure to foreign currency
fluctuations through a variety of financial instruments with
off-balance-sheet market risk including foreign currency option and
foreign currency forward contracts. The risk of loss to the Company in
the event of non-performance by any party under these agreements is not
significant. However, the Company's market risk under these agreements
is subject to currency rate differentials therefore, the value of the
Company's instruments change as currency markets fluctuate. The
Company marks all financial instruments to market until expiration.
In the second quarter of 1994, a charge of $11.0 million was recorded
to reflect a decline, during the quarter, in the value of certain
foreign currency instruments. This charge is included in Other-net in
the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. At
June 18, 1994, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet
includes a mark to market reserve of $11.3 million. At June 18, 1994,
the Company had outstanding foreign currency call option contracts
with notional amounts of 63.5 million U.S. dollars, 15.0 million
British pounds and 51.4 million German marks; foreign currency put
option contracts with notional amounts of 42.0 million U.S. dollars,
10.0 million British pounds and 56.3 million German marks and forward
foreign exchange contracts with notional amounts of 15.0 million U.S.
dollars and 2.5 million British pounds.
6. At June 18, 1994, the Company had interest rate swap agreements
outstanding with a notional principal amount of $175 million.
These swap agreements terminate on various dates through the year 1998.
7. Effective January 2, 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for
Postemployment Benefits". SFAS No. 112 requires the Company to accrue
for postemployment benefits provided to former or inactive employees,
their beneficiaries and covered dependents after employment but before
retirement. The impact of adopting this Statement was not material
to the Company's financial position and results of operations for the
twenty-four weeks ended June 18, 1994.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS :
Paper, Paperboard and Pulp
Overall, results for this segment were mixed with sales increasing and
operating profits decreasing, compared to the prior year. Net sales of
paper, paperboard and pulp increased approximately 2% and 1% compared to
the prior year for the second quarter and year-to-date periods,
respectively. Although sales increased slightly compared to the prior
year, significant changes occurred in most of the product lines which
make up this segment. The increase in sales during the second quarter was
primarily due to an increase in the average selling prices of market pulp
and uncoated free-sheet paper and an increase in shipments of uncoated
free-sheet paper partially offset by a decline in shipments and average
selling prices of paperboard. The year-to-date period was influenced by
the same factors along with a significant increase in shipments of market
pulp compared to the prior year.
Operating profits for paper, paperboard and pulp decreased approximately 2%
and 27% compared to the prior year for the second quarter and year-to-date
periods, respectively. The Company's mills operated extremely well during
the second quarter. Production records were set at the Riegelwood,
Inverurie, Sprague and Augusta mills during the second quarter. Most of the
factors which affected first quarter 1994 operating profits have improved
significantly during the most recent quarter. However, the year-to-date
decline in operating profits is primarily attributable to factors which
occurred during the first quarter of this year including weaknesses in
certain segments of the bleached paperboard market, weather related
factors and operating problems which resulted in lost production and higher
costs at our major mills.
-7-
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations (Cont.)
Operating results for market pulp increased substantially over both periods
of the prior year reflecting price increases which were implemented during
the first half of this year. This product line returned to marginal
profitability during the quarter and another price increase is scheduled
to be implemented during the third quarter. Demand for this product
has been improving with shipments through the second quarter of 1994
increasing 20% over the comparable period of the prior year.
The bleached paperboard market strengthened during the quarter with an
improvement in order backlogs. Due to improving market conditions, the
Company has announced a price increase on most of its bleached paperboard
grades. For the year-to-date period, the grade mix has begun to change
towards higher margin paperboard. Operating results, despite these
improving market conditions, remained below the prior year but the outlook
for the remainder of 1994 is favorable.
Operating profits for the Company's uncoated free-sheet operation improved
significantly compared to the prior year for the second quarter and
year-to-date periods. A combination of improved average selling prices
and increased shipments in 1994 has increased profits for this product.
Improved market conditions for this product have enabled the Company to
implement three price increases through the second quarter, with a fourth
price increase scheduled for the third quarter.
Operating profits for recycled paperboard increased 4% and decreased 25%
for the year-to-date period and second quarter, respectively. The increase
in operating profits for the year-to-date period is primarily attributable
to increased margins due to improved production efficiencies partially offset
by a 6% decline in the average selling price of recycled paperboard.
Operating profits for the second quarter were negatively affected by
scheduled and unscheduled downtime along with lower average selling prices
compared to the prior year.
Wood Products
The wood products segment achieved higher net sales and operating profits
for the second quarter and year-to-date periods. Market conditions for
lumber have continued to be favorable in 1994, with average selling prices
increasing approximately 4% and 11% compared to the prior year for the
second quarter and year-to-date periods, respectively. The increase in
selling price is primarily attributable to the reduced availability of
timber from government-owned lands in the Pacific Northwest and from
unfavorable weather conditions experienced throughout the country.
Shipments of this product have increased approximately 15% and 3% compared
to the prior year for the second quarter and year-to-date periods,
respectively. Demand for this product is expected to remain favorable for
the remainder of the year.
Converting Operations
Net sales for the converting operations increased 5% and 2% compared to the
prior year for the second quarter and year-to-date periods, respectively.
The increase is attributable to an increase in sales by the Company's cup
operations. Shipments of cups increased 13% and 16% for the year-to-date
period and second quarter, respectively, compared to the prior year, however,
lower average selling prices for cups partially offset this increase.
Further offsetting the increase in cup sales is a decrease in sales by
the Company's packaging operations, caused by reduced shipments for the
year-to-date period.
Operating profits for this segment are substantially above the prior year
for both periods presented. The major factor contributing to the increase
is improved earnings from the cup operations. Improved sales coupled with
reduced costs, as a result of cost savings programs which were implemented
throughout the Company's cup operations, were responsible for the increase.
Slightly offsetting the increase was a decrease in earnings at the Company's
packaging operations compared to last year.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for both the second quarter and year-to-date period were
lower than the prior year. The major factors contributing to the decreased
costs were a higher level of capitalized interest partially offset by
decreased savings from the Company's interest rate swap agreements.
Capitalized interest increased significantly compared to the prior year due
to higher capital spending on projects qualifying for interest
capitalization. Interest expense for the second quarter of 1994 and 1993
includes $1.2 million and $1.6 million of savings, respectively, from the
Company's interest rate swap agreements. Year-to-date, the interest savings
from the Company's interest rate swap agreements were $1.3 million and $3.5
million, respectively.
-8-
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations (Cont.)
Other Items
The Company enters into nonhedged off-balance-sheet financial instrument
transactions. As a result of events that occurred during the second quarter
of 1994, a market value adjustment of $11.0 million was recorded. This
charge is included in Other-net in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated
Statement of Income. At June 18, 1994, the Company has a mark to market
reserve of $11.3 million which is included in other current liabilities in
the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Income Taxes
The Company's overall effective tax rate for the year-to-date periods of
1994 and 1993 was 17.2% and 37.8%, respectively. During the current quarter,
a favorable tax provision adjustment of $3.2 million was recorded due to the
settlement of prior year tax audits. The overall effective tax rate for the
full year 1994 is expected to be approximately 36.3%.
Accounting Matters
Effective January 2 ,1994, the Company adopted SFAS No. 112 "Employers'
Accounting for Postemployment Benefits". The impact of adopting this
Statement, in 1994, was not material to the Company's financial position
and results of operations.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY :
Cash provided by operations declined 24% compared to the comparable period
of the prior year. The reasons for this decline were lower operating
earnings in 1994, a lower deferred income tax provision due to lower
forecasted earnings and a favorable adjustment of $3.2 million related to the
settlement of prior year tax audits partially offset by an increase in
working capital in the current year. The major changes within the
components of working capital were an increase in receivable levels during
the first half of 1994 slightly offset by a decrease in inventory levels.
The increase in receivables during the first half of 1994 is due to an
increase in the average collection period along with increased sales. During
the quarter, the Company sold an additional $5 million of trade accounts
receivable under an existing agreement bringing the amount sold to $88
million at both June 18, 1994 and January 1, 1994. Improving market
conditions for most of the Company's product lines has caused a reduction
in inventory levels from the end of the prior year.
Cash used for investing activities increased approximately 10% compared to
the prior year. In both periods presented, the majority of cash used for
investing activities was related to capital expenditures. Capital spending
in 1994 and 1993 was predominantly related to a program to expand and
modernize the No. 18 paperboard machine at the Riegelwood mill. Capital
spending in 1994 also includes amounts related to the construction of a
new warehouse for the Company's cup operations. The Company expects capital
expenditures to total approximately $160 million for the year.
The Company believes it has adequate resources to finance its operations
and future capital spending programs. The Company is a party to two
revolving credit agreements with total commitments of $300 million. At
June 18, 1994, $113 million was outstanding under these agreements. In
addition, the Company has $75 million remaining under a previously filed
shelf registration statement which can be used for future debt financings.
Future Outlook:
The outlook for the remainder of 1994 is for continued improvement in market
conditions for our major product lines. Selling price increases that have
been implemented for our market pulp and uncoated free-sheet paper products
have enabled the Company to improve profitability in the second quarter.
Future price increases scheduled for the third quarter for bleached
paperboard, market pulp and uncoated free-sheet paper should improve
profitability further for the Company. Demand is expected to improve in
the third quarter and throughout the remainder of the year.
