Item 1. Business.
---------
General Development of Business
-------------------------------
The Procter & Gamble Company was incorporated in Ohio in 1905, having
been built from a business founded in 1837 by William Procter and James Gamble.
Today, the Company manufactures and markets a broad range of consumer products
in many countries throughout the world.
Unless the context indicates otherwise, the term the "Company" as used
herein refers to The Procter & Gamble Company (the registrant) and its
subsidiaries.
Additional information required by this item is incorporated herein by
reference to the Letter to Shareholders, which appears on pages 1-4, and
Building Leadership Brands, which appears on pages 5-15 of the Annual Report to
Shareholders for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996.
Financial Information About Industry Segments
---------------------------------------------
The Company's products fall into five business segments: Laundry and
Cleaning, Paper, Beauty Care, Food and Beverage, and Health Care.
Additional information required by this item is incorporated herein by
reference to Note 11 Segment Information, which appears on pages 40 and 41, and
Financial Review, which appears on pages 20-27 of the Annual Report to
Shareholders for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996.
Narrative Description of Business
---------------------------------
The Company's business, represented by the aggregate of its Laundry and
Cleaning, Paper, Beauty Care, Food and Beverage, and Health Care segments, is
essentially homogeneous. For the most part, the factors necessary for an
understanding of these five segments are essentially identical. The markets in
which the Company's products are sold are highly competitive. The products of
the Company's business segments compete with many large and small companies, and
there is no dominant competitor or competitors. Advertising is used in
conjunction with an extensive sales force because the Company believes this
combination provides the most efficient method of marketing these types of
products. Product quality, performance, value and packaging are also important
competitive factors. Most of the Company's products in each of its segments are
distributed through grocery stores and other retail outlets.
The Laundry category and Diaper category constitute approximately 21%
and 13% of consolidated fiscal 1996 sales, respectively. These categories
constituted approximately the same percentages of consolidated sales in the
preceding two fiscal years. The creation of new products and the development of
new performance benefits for consumers on the Company's existing products are
vital ingredients in its continuing progress in the highly competitive markets
in which it does business. Basic research and product development activities
continued to carry a high priority during the past fiscal year. While many of
the benefits from these efforts will not be realized until future years, the
Company believes these activities demonstrate its commitment to future growth.
The Company has registered trademarks and owns or has licenses under
patents which are used in connection with its business in all segments. Some of
these patents or licenses cover significant product formulation and processing
of the Company's products. The trade names of all major products in each segment
are registered trademarks. In part, the Company's success can be attributed to
the existence of these trademarks, patents and licenses.
Most of the raw materials used by the Company are purchased from
others. Additionally, some raw materials, primarily chemicals, are produced by
the Company for further use in the manufacturing process. The Company purchases
and produces a substantial variety of raw materials, no one of which is material
to the Company's business taken as a whole.
Expenditures in fiscal year 1996 for compliance with Federal, State and
local environmental laws and regulations were not materially different from such
expenditures in the prior year, and no material increase is expected in fiscal
year 1997.
Operations outside the United States are generally characterized by the
same conditions discussed in the description of the business above and may also
be affected by additional elements including changing currency values and
different rates of inflation and economic growth. The effect of these additional
elements is less significant in the Food and Beverage segment than in the
Company's other business segments.
The Company has approximately 103,000 employees.
The Company provides an Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") which is
part of The Procter & Gamble Profit Sharing Trust and Employee Stock Ownership
Plan. Convertible preferred stock of the Company and other assets owned by the
ESOP are held through a trust (the "ESOP Trust"). The ESOP Trust has issued
certain debt securities to the public. The Company has guaranteed payment of
principal and interest on these debt securities. Holders of these debt
securities have no recourse against the assets of the ESOP Trust except with
respect to cash contributions made by the Company to the ESOP Trust, and
earnings attributable to such contributions. Such cash contributions are made by
the Company only to the extent that dividends on the convertible preferred stock
are inadequate to fund repayment of the debt securities. Any such contributions
and subsequent payments to holders are made on a same-day basis and such
contributions would therefore not be held by the ESOP Trust unless there was a
default in payment on the debt securities by the ESOP Trust after having
received such contributions from the Company. Such a default is not likely to
occur and therefore there is little likelihood that there would be assets
available to satisfy the claims of any holders of the debt securities. A summary
description of the liabilities of the ESOP Trust and of the dividends paid by
the Company on the convertible preferred stock and cash payments from the
Company to the ESOP Trust for the three years ended June 30, 1996 are
incorporated by reference to Note 7 Postretirement Benefits and Note 8 Employee
Stock Ownership Plan, which appear on pages 38-39 of the Annual Report to
Shareholders for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996.
Additional information required by this item is incorporated herein by
reference to Note 11 Segment Information, which appears on pages 40 and 41, the
Financial Highlights, which appear on page 42, and Financial Review, which
appears on pages 20-27 of the Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1996.
Financial Information About Foreign and Domestic Operations
-----------------------------------------------------------
The information required by this item is incorporated herein by
reference to Note 11 Segment Information, which appears on pages 40 and 41, and
Financial Review, which appears on pages 20-27 of the Annual Report to
Shareholders for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996.
Item 2. Properties.
-----------
In the United States, the Company owns and operates manufacturing
facilities at 36 locations in 20 states. In addition, it owns and operates 90
manufacturing facilities in 43 other countries. Laundry and Cleaning products
are produced at 40 of these locations; Paper products at 39; Health Care
products at 30; Beauty Care products at 52; and Food and Beverage products at
12. Management believes that the Company's production facilities are adequate to
support the business efficiently and that the properties and equipment have been
well maintained.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
------------------
The Company is involved in clean-up efforts at off-site Superfund
locations, many of which are in the preliminary stages of investigation. The
amount accrued at June 30, 1996 representing the Company's probable future costs
that can be reasonably estimated was $10 million.
The Company is also involved in certain other environmental
proceedings. No such proceeding is expected to result in material monetary or
other sanctions being imposed by any governmental entity, or in other material
liabilities. However, the Company has agreed to participate in the Toxic
Substances Control Act ("TSCA") Section 8(e) Compliance Audit Program of the
United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA"). As a participant, the
Company has agreed to audit its files for materials which under current EPA
guidelines would be subject to notification under Section 8(e) of TSCA and to
pay stipulated penalties for each report submitted under this program. It is
anticipated that the Company's liability under the Program will be $1,000,000.
No administrative proceeding is pending; however the Company anticipates being
required to enter an Administrative Order on Consent pursuant to this Program in
late calendar year 1996.
