Alco Standard Corporation
SEC FORM 10-K
SEPTEMBER 30, 1994
PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
Alco Standard Corporation ("Alco") was incorporated in Ohio in 1952 and is
the successor to a business incorporated under a similar name in 1928. The term
"Alco" generally includes Alco Standard Corporation and its subsidiaries and
divisions. The address of Alco's principal executive offices is P.O. Box 834,
Valley Forge, Pennsylvania 19482 (telephone number: (610) 296-8000).
Alco markets and distributes office equipment and paper. In fiscal 1994, Alco
had annual revenues of approximately $8 billion. The information concerning
revenues, income before taxes and assets attributable to each of Alco's
business segments for each of the three years in the period ended September 30,
1994 set forth under "Segment Data" in the consolidated financial statements
included on page 42 of Alco's Annual Report to Shareholders for the
fiscal year ended September 30, 1994 ("1994 Annual Report") is incorporated
herein by reference.
Alco was founded and continues to operate as "The Corporate Partnership."
Under this entrepreneurial principle, Alco field executives maintain a high
degree of operating autonomy, which enhances the company's ability to serve and
support its customers. The following describes Alco's two business segments.
ALCO OFFICE PRODUCTS
Alco Office Products ("AOP") sells, rents and leases photocopiers, fax
machines and other automated office equipment. AOP also provides equipment
service, supplies, and equipment leasing, and provides reprographic facilities
management and specialized document copying services.
AOP has locations throughout the United States, Canada and in Europe
(primarily in the United Kingdom). These companies comprise the largest network
of independent copier and office equipment dealers in North America and in the
United Kingdom, and represent the only independent distribution network with
national scope. AOP competes against numerous competitors over a wide range of
markets, competing on the basis of price, quality of service, and product
performance.
AOP distributes the products of numerous manufacturers, including Canon,
Ricoh and Sharp, throughout 47 states, four Canadian provinces and in Europe.
Customers include large and small businesses, professional firms and government
agencies.
During fiscal 1992, 1993 and 1994, AOP accounted for approximately 26%, 25%
and 28%, respectively, of Alco's consolidated revenues, and 47%, 50% and 55%,
respectively, of Alco's operating income (excluding Unisource restructuring
costs in 1993).
During fiscal 1994, AOP acquired 45 office products companies in the United
States and Canada, with an aggregate of over $200 million in annualized
revenues. AOP also expanded Erskine House Ltd., its office equipment
distribution network based in the United Kingdom, through two contiguous
acquisitions. In addition, as part of the IMM divestiture (described on page 3
hereof), AOP acquired operations in Denmark and France.
UNISOURCE
Unisource Worldwide, Inc. ("Unisource") markets and distributes papers for
office and reprographic use, distributes quality printing papers, and
distributes paper and plastic packaging supply items for food retailers and
food processors. Unisource also distributes commercial sanitary and maintenance
products and industrial packaging equipment, closure systems, and supplies. The
Unisource companies were formerly known as "Paper Corporation of America," and
are currently in the process of restructuring and consolidating under the
single name "Unisource." Information concerning the restructuring is contained
on page 2 of this report.
During fiscal 1992, 1993 and 1994, Unisource accounted for approximately 74%,
75% and 72%, respectively, of Alco's consolidated revenues from continuing
operations, and 53%, 50%, and 45%, respectively, of Alco's operating income
(excluding Unisource restructuring costs in 1993).
Unisource's products are distributed to commercial printers and publishers,
and to all types of manufacturers, offices, government agencies and other
institutions. Paper, printing supplies and industrial and office supply
products are also sold directly to the commercial retail market through
Unisource's Paper Plus (R) retail stores.
Unisource sells the products of substantially all major domestic and Canadian
paper manufacturers and suppliers. There has been no difficulty in obtaining
products from these suppliers. Supplier relationships are good and are expected
to continue.
Unisource's operations constitute the largest independent network of paper
distributors in the United States and Canada. Although substantial in the
aggregate, these operations compete separately in many different markets
against numerous competitors, including both independent distributors and those
owned by major paper manufacturers. Although its business is highly competitive
and its competitors numerous, Unisource believes that its competitive position
is strong. Unisource competes principally on the basis of price, quality
customer service and the range of products maintained in inventory.
Unisource has locations throughout the United States and Canada. In the
aggregate, Unisource occupies over 17 million square feet of space.
In June 1994, Unisource acquired Larsen Packaging Equipment Company, a
distributor of packaging film and equipment located in St. Louis, Missouri, with
approximately $10 million in annual revenues.
INFORMATION CONCERNING ALCO'S BUSINESS IN GENERAL
RESTRUCTURING PLAN
In September 1993, the Board of Directors approved a restructuring plan for
Alco's paper distribution business and changed the name of such business from
"Paper Corporation of America" to "Unisource Worldwide, Inc." As a result of
the restructuring, a pretax charge of $175 million was recorded in the fourth
quarter of fiscal 1993.
The Unisource restructuring plan was adopted as a proactive response to
changes in the business environment in which Unisource operates. In recent
periods, mills have experienced overcapacity, resulting in depressed pricing
and pressure on distributors' margins. The usage and demand for paper has
shifted significantly because of consolidation in the commercial printing
industry, enhancements in imaging technology and the related growth in the
reprographics segment. Customers are increasingly requiring distributors to
provide enhanced services and greater capabilities.
Most facets of the Unisource restructuring plan are proceeding as planned,
with 68 facility consolidations substantially completed by the end of fiscal
1994. By September 30, 1994, Unisource reduced its employee base by
approximately 725. This excludes the data processing personnel who transferred
to Integrated Systems Solutions Corporation ("ISSC"), a subsidiary of IBM, as
part of an information technology system outsourcing agreement with ISSC. This
ten-year agreement for $300 million, which was effective January 1, 1994, will
provide the information technology system to be implemented as part of the
restructuring plan. The agreement was also expanded to automated warehouse and
truck routing systems at an estimated cost of approximately $30 million over the
ten-year period of the agreement. Due to a change in software, initial
implementation of the information technology system was postponed by six months.
This is not anticipated to delay the completion of the restructuring plan by the
end of fiscal 1996.

BOARD AND MANAGEMENT CHANGES
Three new members were elected in 1994 to Alco's Board of Directors: Paul J.
Darling II, Chairman, President and Chief Executive of Corey Steel Company;
James J. Forese, IBM Vice President, Chairman of IBM Credit Corporation and a
member of IBM's Worldwide Management Council; and Dana J. Mead, President and
Chief Executive Officer of Tenneco, Inc., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
of Case Corporation, a Tenneco subsidiary and former Executive Vice President
and Director of International Paper Company. Retiring from the Board were
Robert H. Potts and William J. Scharffenberger.
Among other executive changes during the 1994 fiscal year, J. Kenneth Croney
was appointed General Counsel of Alco succeeding Hugh G. Moulton, who continues
as Executive Vice President. Kathleen M. Burns, Treasurer, and Michael J.
Dillon, Controller, were named corporate vice presidents of Alco.
In August 1994, William T. Leith was named Executive Vice President of
Unisource with responsibility for all Unisource's U.S. operations. Mr. Leith
was formerly President of Distribix (a Unisource operating company located in
St. Louis, Missouri) and President of the Unisource Central Region. Jack H.
Keeney, formerly Vice President--Finance of Distribix, was appointed
Unisource's Vice President, Finance--U.S. Operations. Raymond A. Peterson was
named Executive Vice President of Unisource's Canadian Operations.
Two former AOP operating company presidents joined AOP group management in
fiscal 1994 in new executive vice president positions. In June 1994, Peter W.
Shoemaker was appointed Executive Vice President of AOP with responsibility for
all North American operations. In July 1994, Michael S. Koether was appointed
Executive Vice President--Marketing of AOP with responsibility for all North
American marketing and acquisition activities.
On October 17, 1994, Ray B. Mundt, who served as Chief Executive Officer from
1980 until August 1993, announced his retirement from his ongoing duties as an
officer of Alco, effective December 31, 1994. Mr. Mundt will continue in his
duties as Chairman of the Board during fiscal 1995 and will remain available to
provide guidance and advice in the future as appropriate.
EQUITY OFFERINGS
In December 1993, Alco completed a public offering of 5,750,000 shares of
common stock, and used the net proceeds of approximately $294 million primarily
to reduce outstanding debt.
DIVESTITURES
In October 1992, Alco made a 49.9% investment in IMM Office Systems
("IMMOS"), a European office equipment distribution joint venture, marking
Alco's entry into the European market. Alco's investment in IMMOS was intended
to serve as a base for further expansion in Europe. The venture agreement
provided Alco with the option of acquiring the remaining shares of IMMOS over a
three-year period beginning in 1996 if IMMOS achieved certain operating goals.
However, the capital structure and organizational complexities of IMMOS,
exacerbated by the distressed European economy and operational differences
among the venture partners, prevented IMMOS from progressing toward those
goals. As a result, in September 1994, Alco sold its 49.9% interest in IMMOS
for cash plus a passive interest in any subsequent sale of IMMOS for five
years. Alco retains no ongoing liability in the joint venture and the parties
exchanged complete mutual releases for past actions. In addition, Alco was
relieved of the covenant not to compete in Europe contained in the joint
venture agreement, although the parties will not compete with each other for a
period expiring on December 31, 1995. As part of the transaction, Alco acquired
profitable operations in Denmark and France and retained limited operations in
Germany. Alco recognized a loss on the sale of its interest in IMMOS in the
quarter ended June 30, 1994, and recorded a pre-tax loss of $115.3 million
($95.1 million, net of tax) equating to a loss per share of $1.75 for the
quarter ($1.77 for fiscal 1994). This charge represents the write-off of Alco's
investment in IMMOS plus certain transactional costs less cash proceeds from
the sale together with related tax benefits.
3
SUPPLIERS AND CUSTOMERS
Products distributed by Alco are purchased from numerous domestic and
overseas suppliers. There has been no significant difficulty in obtaining
products from these suppliers. No industry segment of Alco is dependent upon a
single customer, or a few customers, the loss of any one or more of which would
have a material adverse effect on Alco's business taken as a whole.
Backlog is not significant because virtually all of Alco's revenues during
the last two fiscal years were derived from its distribution operations which
fill orders shortly after receipt from customers. There is no material seasonal
fluctuation in Alco's business as a whole.
Many of Alco's operations are required to carry significant amounts of
inventory to meet rapid delivery requirements of customers. At September 30,
1994, inventories accounted for approximately 36% of Alco's total current
assets.
PROPRIETARY MATTERS
Alco has a number of patents, licenses and trademarks. Alco does not believe,
however, that any patent, license or trademark is material to its operations as
a whole.
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION
Environmental laws and liabilities relating to Alco's current businesses
(which are primarily distribution operations) have not had and are not expected
to have a material adverse effect upon Alco's capital expenditures, earnings or
competitive position. Although Alco has retained certain environmental
liabilities relating to the predivestiture operations of its divested
manufacturing companies, such environmental liabilities have not had and are
not expected to have a material adverse effect on Alco. While it is not
possible to estimate what expenditures may be required in order for Alco to
comply with environmental laws or discharge environmental liabilities in the
future, Alco does not believe that such expenditures will have a material
adverse effect on it or its operations as a whole.
EMPLOYEES
At September 30, 1994, Alco had approximately 30,600 employees.
FOREIGN OPERATIONS
Alco's operations in Canada distribute paper, industrial supplies and
packaging products, and distribute and service office equipment. Alco's
European operations distribute and service office equipment. Alco's 49.9%
equity interest in IMMOS, a German-based office equipment distribution network,
was divested in September 1994 (See "Divestitures", on page 3 hereof).
Information concerning revenues, income before taxes and identifiable assets of
Alco's foreign operations for each of the three years in the period ended
September 30, 1994 set forth in note 9 to the consolidated financial statements
included in Alco's 1994 Annual Report is incorporated herein by reference.
Revenues from exports during the last three fiscal years were not significant.
There are additional risks attendant to foreign operations, such as possible
currency fluctuations and unsettled political conditions.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
At September 30, 1994, Alco owned or leased facilities in 47 states, nine
Canadian provinces and in Europe. These properties occupy a total of
approximately 22.6 million square feet of which approximately 8.1 million
square feet are owned and the balance are leased under lease agreements with
various expiration dates. Alco believes that none of its properties is
materially important to its operations as a whole, and believes that its
facilities are suitable and adequate for the purposes for which they are used.
4
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
Alco does not believe that the outcome of lawsuits or other legal proceedings
to which it is a party will materially affect Alco or its operations as a
whole. However, Alco is presently in arbitration with a former subsidiary,
which has asserted that Alco is liable to it for certain liabilities arising
under the Coal Industry Health Benefit Act of 1992. Based on consultation with
its counsel, Alco does not believe that it is responsible for such liabilities
and, therefore, no provision for this matter has been recorded in Alco's
financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1994. In the event
that the arbitrators decide in favor of the claimant, Alco estimates that it
would be obligated to pay approximately $36 million over a twenty-year period
which would result in an after-tax charge of approximately $23 million to
discontinued operations.
