Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results ----------------------------------------------------------------------- of Operations. -------------- Results of Operations - --------------------- Summary The company reported a loss in the second quarter of 1994 of $31 million or 41 cents per share, compared to last year's second quarter loss of $22 million or 31 cents per share and last quarter's loss of $31 million or 41 cents per share. Operating income of $4 million declined from $16 million a year ago and $17 million last quarter. The decline from last year was due primarily to lower income in the wood products segment and a slightly larger loss in the paper segment. The decline from last quarter was due to lower income in the wood products segment and higher general corporate expense mainly attributable to the impact of stock price fluctuations on the value of stock appreciation rights. Overall results were the same as last quarter because the decline in operating income was approximately offset by increases in other (income) expense - net and income tax benefits, as described below. Prices for lumber and average prices for uncoated free sheet and coated groundwood grades were lower than last quarter. However, prices for pulp, newsprint and linerboard improved during the second quarter. The effect of these price increases, as well as recent increases in prices for uncoated free sheet and coated groundwood grades, largely were not reflected in second quarter results but will be reflected in third quarter results. The enactment of a new economic program in Brazil effective March 15, 1994 significantly reduced the inflationary impact on sales and purchases in Brazil as reported on a U.S. dollar basis. As the result of this program, second quarter operating income of the company's Brazilian subsidiary, Champion Papel e Celulose Ltda., declined by approximately $8 million, which was offset by an $8 million favorable adjustment to the foreign currency translation loss included in other (income) expense - net. Net income of the company's Brazilian subsidiary for the second quarter was approximately even with last quarter. Other (income) expense - net improved from a year ago and last quarter primarily due to the Brazilian currency translation item described above and interest income of $5.5 million associated with an income tax refund, partially offset by other charges and currency translation items. The income tax benefit attributable to the loss in the second quarter of 1994 was less favorable than last year due to changes in the ratio of foreign and domestic pre-tax income, but was more favorable than last quarter due to currency translation gains associated with the income tax provision of the company's Brazilian subsidiary. For the first six months, the company reported a loss of $62 million and a per share loss of 82 cents, compared to year-ago losses before the cumulative effect of an accounting change of $50 million and 69 cents per share. Paper Segment The second quarter loss from operations in the company's paper segment was $38 million, compared to losses of $36 million a year ago and $40 million last quarter. -6- The domestic printing and writing papers business incurred a significant operating loss for the quarter, exceeding the operating losses of a year ago and last quarter. Shipments of uncoated free sheet papers increased compared to a year ago and last quarter. However, average prices for coated and uncoated free sheet grades were lower than last year and last quarter. A price increase for uncoated free sheet papers which went into effect during the second quarter came too late to significantly impact results. Results also were affected by semi- annual maintenance outages at three of the four domestic printing and writing papers mills during the quarter. Price increases were implemented for certain grades of uncoated free sheet papers on July 1 and certain grades on August 1, the effect of which largely will not be reflected in results until late in the third quarter. Operating income at the Brazilian subsidiary declined from last year and was approximately even with last quarter, excluding the $8 million impact of the new economic program in Brazil described above. The decline from last year was due to lower domestic prices and higher operating costs. Compared to last quarter, higher domestic and export prices and increased shipments were offset by higher operating costs. The small operating loss for the publication papers business represented a decline from last year's operating profit and slightly exceeded last quarter's operating loss. The decline from a year ago was due primarily to lower prices for coated groundwood and free sheet grades. Compared to last quarter, shipments were up for coated groundwood but down for other paper grades. Average prices for coated groundwood papers declined during the quarter, while prices increased slightly for other grades. Costs for purchased pulp were higher than last year and last quarter. A discount reduction for coated groundwood papers was implemented July 1, the effect of which largely will not be reflected in results until late in the third quarter. Earnings for the company's U.S. and Canadian market pulp operations represented a significant improvement from the operating losses of a year ago and last quarter. Results reflected the impact of price increases for most grades that were implemented April 1. Price increases for most grades of market pulp also went into effect on June 1, and additional price increases for all grades went into effect on August 1. The newsprint business incurred a sizeable loss for the quarter. However, results improved from a year ago and last quarter. Compared to last year, lower prices were more than offset by higher shipments as well as lower operating costs primarily due to productivity gains and less downtime for scheduled maintenance outages. Results improved from last quarter due to a discount reduction, attributable to increased demand, that was fully implemented June 1. The company has announced an additional discount reduction effective August 15. Earnings for the packaging business were up modestly from a year ago and last quarter primarily due to higher prices for linerboard. The company implemented a price increase on certain grades of linerboard effective July 1. Wood Products Segment The company's wood products segment, which includes the wood-related operations of the Canadian subsidiary, Weldwood of Canada Limited, reported second quarter income from operations of $56 million, down from $65 million a year ago and $64 million last quarter. Lower shipments of lumber and plywood and reduced timber stumpage prices in the Pacific region primarily were responsible for the decline in earnings from last year. The lower shipments mainly reflected the fourth quarter 1993 sale of the company's Montana lumber and plywood operations. Compared to last quarter, lower lumber and plywood prices more than offset higher overall shipments and increased timber stumpage sales in the Pacific region. Early in the third quarter, lumber and plywood prices continued to decline. Stumpage costs for wood cut on government-owned timberlands in British Columbia were increased effective May 1. The effect of this increase largely will not be reflected in results until the third quarter and thereafter. -7- The lumber mill at Klickitat, Washington was closed for an indefinite period effective August 1. The annual capacity of that facility is 89 million board feet. Labor Contracts Labor contracts have run past their expiration dates at Weldwood's Hinton, Alberta, Canada pulp mill and joint venture pulp mill at Quesnel, British Columbia, Canada, as well as all of its wood products plants except those at Longlac, Ontario. Each of these facilities presently is operating under the terms of its respective expired contract while efforts to negotiate new labor contracts continue. The impact on Weldwood and the company of a strike, if any, would depend on which facilities were affected and the duration of any such strike. There is a possibility of a strike against one or more forest products companies in British Columbia, including Weldwood's facilities in that province. Any prolonged strike involving a significant portion of the forest products industry in British Columbia, including Weldwood, would have a material adverse effect on Weldwood, which would be partially offset by an anticipated favorable impact on the company's United States pulp, newsprint and wood products operations. Financial Condition General The company's current ratio was 1.5 to 1 at June 30, 1994 and at March 31, 1994, as compared to 1.4 to 1 at year-end 1993. Total debt to total capitalization was 46% at June 30, 1994, as compared to 45% at March 31, 1994 and 44% at year-end 1993. As discussed below, in the first six months of 1994 and 1993, the company's net cash provided by operating activities was not sufficient to meet the requirements of its investing activities (principally capital expenditures) and its financing activities (principally debt payments and cash dividends). Each year, the difference was financed through borrowings and, in 1993, through the use of cash and cash equivalents. Net borrowings generated cash proceeds of $77 million in the first six months of 1994, as compared to $271 million in the first six months of 1993. Cash and cash equivalents increased by $29 million in the first six months of 1994 and decreased by $15 million in the first six months of 1993. Looking ahead, the company anticipates that net cash provided by operating activities supplemented, if and to the extent necessary, by borrowings, including borrowings under or supported by its bank lines of credit, will be sufficient to meet the capital expenditure, debt payment and dividend requirements of the company. With the completion of the company's extensive capital improvement program in 1993, the company has reduced capital spending to levels required for routine capital replacements, environmental compliance and incremental improvements. Operating Activities For the first six months, net cash provided by operating activities of $96 million increased from $64 million a year ago. The increase primarily was due to changes in certain components of working capital and lower deferrals of start-up costs associated with major capital projects. Investing Activities Net cash used in investing activities of $123 million declined from $329 million a year ago, principally due to substantially lower capital expenditures. -8- Financing Activities Net cash provided by financing activities of $56 million declined from $250 million a year ago, principally as the result of a substantial decrease in net borrowings, which reflected the lower capital expenditures discussed above. At June 30, 1994, the company had $606 million of U.S. commercial paper and other short-term obligations outstanding, all of which are classified as long- term debt, up from $556 million at March 31, 1994 and $559 million at year-end 1993. In addition, at June 30, 1994, the company had $145 million of notes outstanding under its U.S. bank lines of credit, down from $260 million at March 31, 1994 and $224 million at year-end 1993. Domestically, at June 30, 1994, $606 million of the company's unused bank lines of credit of $870 million support the classification of commercial paper and other short-term obligations as long-term debt. During the second quarter, the company issued medium-term notes in the aggregate principal amount of $150 million in private placements. The net proceeds were used to pay a portion of the company's commercial paper and short-term notes at maturity. The annual principal payment requirements under the terms of all long-term debt agreements for the period from July 1 through December 31, 1994 are $50 million and for the years 1995 through 1998 are $258 million, $871 million, $245 million and $396 million, respectively. Environmental Legal Proceeding As previously reported, the company is a defendant in a class action which originally sought $500 million in damages allegedly resulting from the purported discharge of hazardous substances, including dioxin, from the company's Pensacola, Florida, mill into Eleven Mile Creek, which flows into Perdido Bay. In February 1994 the plaintiffs reduced their demand to not more than $50,000 for each class member. It is anticipated that the class, which was certified by the court in June 1994, will consist of approximately 2,000 members. -9- PART II. OTHER INFORMATION --------------------------- CHAMPION INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Item 1. Legal Proceedings. - --------------------------- As most recently reported in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1993, on November 9, 1992, an action was brought against the company in the Circuit Court for Baldwin County, Alabama, on behalf of a class consisting of all persons who own land along Perdido Bay in Florida and Alabama. The action originally sought $500 million in compensatory and punitive damages for personal injury, intentional infliction of emotional distress and diminution in property value allegedly resulting from the purported discharge of hazardous substances, including dioxin, from the company's Pensacola, Florida, mill into Eleven Mile Creek, which flows into Perdido Bay. However, in February 1994, the plaintiffs reduced their demand to not more than $50,000 for each class member, and in June 1994, the personal injury claims were dismissed. It is anticipated that the class, which was certified by the court in June 1994, will consist of approximately 2,000 members. The parties currently are engaged in discovery. Item 4.
