ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net income for the second quarter of 1997 was $10.6 million or $.15 per share,
compared with $18.1 million or $.26 per share for the second quarter of last
year and $9.6 million or $.14 per share for the first quarter of this year.
Income from operations for the quarter was $53.8 million, a 6% decrease from
last year's second quarter; however, 20% above this year's first quarter.
Net income for the first half of 1997 was $20.2 million or $.29 per share,
compared with $76.6 million or $1.11 per share for the same period last year.
Operating income for the first half of 1997 was $98.6 million, a 47% decrease
from the $185.1 million reported for the first half of 1996.
Net sales for the second quarter were $1,106 million, 18% above the previous
year's comparable quarter. The second quarter of 1997 included sales of $165
million attributable to The Alling & Cory Company, a paper distribution business
acquired in August 1996. The impact of that business on second quarter operating
results was not material. Total paper product shipments increased by 7% from
last year's second quarter, to approximately 939,000 tons, reaching record
levels.
SECOND SECOND
OPERATING PROFIT BY SEGMENT ($000) QUARTER 1997 QUARTER 1996
---------------------------------- ------------ ------------
Paper and Paperboard $ 17,642 $ 15,758
Packaging Products 9,529 15,601
Wood Products 20,277 10,268
Chemical 20,617 17,802
Corporate Items and Eliminations (14,259) (1,972)

Income from Operations $ 53,806 $ 57,457

Despite a difficult pricing environment, operating income for the Paper and
Paperboard segment in the second quarter was $17.6 million, an 11% increase from
the $15.8 million reported for the second quarter of last year. Paper mill
productivity was exceptional during the quarter, resulting in lower unit costs.
Despite high production levels, paper inventories dropped in the second quarter,
primarily due to strong shipments and, to a lesser extent, approximately 60,000
tons of downtime taken. Higher operating profits from increased shipments for
both domestic and export linerboard were partially offset by lower average
selling prices. Linerboard shipments increased by 47%, while uncoated business
papers volume was off modestly compared with last year's second quarter. Second
quarter average selling prices for linerboard and uncoated business papers
decreased 15% and 4%, respectively, compared with last year. Some upward
movement in pricing was noted in uncoated business papers during the second
quarter of 1997. Prices in June were $17 per ton above the first quarter
average. Included in operating income for last year's second quarter was a $2.9
million pre-tax charge for estimated severance costs related to the company's
decision to outsource timber harvesting operations.
Packaging segment operating income was $9.5 million for the second quarter of
1997, compared with $15.6 million for last year's comparable quarter. Earnings
for the domestic corrugated container operations decreased by 36% compared with
last year's comparable quarter, due to a 17% decline in average selling prices
and a slight decrease in shipments, attributable to the sale of two box plants
in the past year. Second quarter earnings from the company's overseas container
businesses were well below last year because of lower volume and selling prices.
Operating profit within the flexible packaging business was also below the same
quarter of last year.
6
The company's non-paper businesses reported a robust improvement in operating
income, compared with last year's second quarter. The Wood Products segment
achieved record second quarter earnings of $20.3 million, a 97% increase over
last year's second quarter, due primarily to a 21% increase in the average
selling price of lumber coupled with a 7% increase in volume. The Chemical
segment reported operating income of $20.6 million, 16% above the second quarter
of last year. The favorable results were mostly attributable to increased
earnings within the company's Bush Boake Allen business, resulting from
increased sales and reduced manufacturing costs. In addition, the Chemical
Products Division realized improved margins and a 9% increase in volume over
last year's second quarter.
Depreciation expense for the second quarter increased 4% from last year's
comparable quarter, and increased 5% for the first half of 1997 compared with
last year's first half. The increase is due to a higher level of capital
investment as well as the depreciation expense for Alling & Cory. Gross interest
expense increased in the second quarter, reflecting the impact of an increase in
outstanding debt, offset in part by the amount of interest capitalized.
Other income (expense) decreased substantially from the second quarter of last
year, which was primarily attributable to a $4.2 million pre-tax gain on the
sale of assets included in last year's results.
Cash flow from operations for the first half of 1997 was $154.0 million,
compared with $261.1 million for last year's comparable period. The decrease was
primarily due to the lower earnings for the first half of this year, and
increased working capital. Capital expenditures for the first half of this year
totaled $164.7 million, compared with $198.4 million last year, which included a
large timberland acquisition. Total debt increased $80 million during the first
half of 1997, primarily attributable to increased commercial paper borrowings
and the issuance of $10 million of 6.1%, 30 year solid waste disposal facilities
bonds. The ratio of total debt to total capital employed increased slightly to
36.7% at June 30, 1997, compared with 35.3% at year-end 1996.
Net working capital decreased to $319.9 million at June 30, 1997, from $354.2
million at year-end 1996, primarily attributable to an increase in short-term
borrowings.
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128 "Earnings per Share".
The company will adopt this statement for interim and annual periods ending
after December 15, 1997, which is the statement's effective date. The statement
is not expected to have a material impact on reported earnings.
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131 "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information". The company plans to adopt this statement
for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 1997.
Statements in this report that are not historical are forward-looking statements
that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to
differ materially. Such risks and uncertainties with respect to the company
include the effect of general economic conditions, fluctuations in supply and
demand for the company's products including exports and potential imports, paper
industry production capacity, operating rates and competitive pricing pressures.
