I Our Stake in Vinyl Chloride
Monsanto domestic investment committed to vinyl chloride monomer and polymer in 1963 is $43 million. Of this amount, $36 million is fixed manufacturing, utility and service facilities and $7 million is working capital. The depreciated value (net investment) of the fixed investment is $15 million. In 1963, a larger share of ethylene and vinyl acetate capital is assigned to vinyl products than will be the case when these facilities are operating at capacity. In 1964, vinyl acetate will be at capacity, reducing capital assign ment by $860,000. In 1966, when the ethylene plant is at capacity, the ethylene capital assignment will be $1, 150,000 lower.
Monsanto also has complete or partial ownership of overseas facilities for PVC, YCM, and related products with a gross invest ment value of $43 million. (Excluding SICE). Allowing for partial ownership of MMK and the Spanish affiliates, Monsanto's portion is about $27 million. Of this amount, $18 million is completely dependent upon our USA research and engineering technology for advancement.
Building Products Department1 holds $1.2 million of fixed and working capital in Ryko and other facilities for production of finished products from vinyl raw materials. While Plax Company has no significant investment yet committed to fabrication of vinyl containers, the decision to do so is close at hand.
Although Plastics Division buys about $2. 7 million worth of plasti cizers yearly from Organic Division, it is assumed that these materials could flow into the market in any case, and the Organic Division interest will not be considered in detail herein.
A detailed schedule of vinyl fixed capital is given in Table I,
II Recent Performance
Vinyl chloride polymer and monomer returned $8.1 million after tax, from the first sale in 1949 through 1959. In I960 it lost $0.4 million; in 1961, $1.5 million; and in 1962, $0.7 million. The 1963 budget predicts $0.18 million lost and, although the line was about $180,000 below its budget at the end of the first quarter, improved VCM and Chocolate Bayou operations and better polymer prices are expected to limit further decline. The 1963 loss is now estimated to be about $470,000, The depreciation reserve will have increased to $21 million by the end of' 1963.

Excluding the recently added Chocolate Bayou ethylene facility, the line has so far produced about 25 million dollars of after-tax profit and depreciation for its $33 million of fixed inyestment. During the next five years, about 6 million dollars of additional profit and depreciation will be produced (net of incremental invest ment required).

III Outlook
Polyvinyl chloride is certain to hold an important position as a prime plastics material of construction and will continue to grow, at least as fast as the national economy. The national and international competitive picture does not encourage much hope of attractive profits for the average producer in the foreseeable future, however. Producers with favorable raw material positions, such as Dow, Diamond and Ethyl, and those with a line of premium-priced specialty polymers may find the business rea sonably attractive. Though we are striving for the latter on a meager budget, Monsanto does not now fall into either category.
Vinyl chloride polymer sales now exceed one billion pounds per
year, with no evidence of serious interference from other materials.
The 1958 and 1962 consumption was divided approximately as

We expect the factors of lowest resin price, toughness, corrosionresistance, fire-resistance, and versatility to ensure continued growth of at least 5 per cent per year, leading to a'1967 Industry Sales of 1.43 billion pounds." (Projections of 1.60 billion pounds' and higher have been made by some sources. February 1963 tariff commission reports indicated an annualized sales rate of 1.3 billion for the first two months).
Our major outlets for resins and compound have been wire coating, flooring, and phonograph records. Our major outlets for film and sheet have been wall coverings, swimming pools, furniture, and industrial items.
Those applications which are related to the building industry will probably grow fastest. Vinyl for wire coating and for flooring is still displacing other materials. Rigid vinyl for pipe, corrugated sheet, and building siding is the newest and probably fastest-growing vinyl product. The volume potential from displacement of copper pipe, transite and other sheet materials, and aluminum siding is rated in the hundreds of million pounds.
Projecting to the year 1966, assuming a competitive price atmosphere worsened by lower tariffs, and assuming an increased rate of SAKE expenditure, an operating profit of $1,300,000 from monomer and polymer may still be possible. (At no increase in SARE over the 1963 expenditure, the operating profit would be $1,800,000). (See Table IX). To achieve this income, we need
1) to sell 20 million pounds more monomer than fore cast at forecast price (for a total of 30 million pounds,at $0.068/lb. .net);
2) to use the_entire capacity of the Springfield compound
plant (29 M lbs/year) for a high margin product
($.05/lb.) such as Vyram rigid extrusion and bottle
blowing materials', 6
CBY 1023651
RSV0031868
3) to devote 40 per cent of the film capacity to
higher margin products (a possibility is rigid sheet
for building products applications); and
4) to sell 44 per cent of the homopolymer sales quantity as new products, such as Opalon 740 graft resin and-Opalon paste resin diluent.
Each of the above assumptions is based upon technical and sales programs now under way. A healthier price picture would alter this projection, as discussed in Section VII.
If the 20-million pounds of incremental monomer in 1), above, were converted to polymer and could be sold at the forecast price, $138,000 of additional gross profit would be realized. If the monomer could be converted and sold as a specialty pro duct, such as Opalon 740, the additional profit would be $636,000.
The homopolymer could be sold through continuation of our present market share and could be manufactured with technology now avail able, after an incremental investment of about $600, 000 capital and $190,000 expense. It is not clear how this amount of additional specialties could be sold except through capture of a commanding technological position. This would imply increased SARE expendi tures not included above. Unless a distinctly improved price situation prevails, however, we incline toward the specialty pro ducts .
IV How We Compare With Our Competitors

the economics will usually depend much more upon the price of the raw materials than upon the technology.
A list of VCM producers and the routes used by each is given in Table VII A.
A good deal of attention has been given to reports that certain acetylene manufacturing processes are markedly cheaper than our own. Studies of these processes by our engineers and information from private sources leads us to seriously doubt that our competi tors enjoy costs lower than our own plant is capable of producing.
Two new VCM producers, Tenneco and Monochem, have completed their plants within the past few months and should have the most modern facilities with lowest acetylene costs. Diamond has recently added its Montecatini-design acetylene plant. Although Monochem is successfully on stream reportedly with good costs, Tenneco and Diamond have experienced great difficulty with acetylene manufacture and costs. The strongest raw material cost position presumably is held by those producers with captive ethylene and chlorine sources or those who can use by-product HC1. The choice of value assigned to the HC1 then influences VCM cost markedly. From the standpoint of raw material position, _ Dow and Ethyl are the best situated of the fourteen manufacturers. As the largest chlorine producer in the world, and a low-cost ethylene producer as well, Dow probably has the soundest raw material position. In Plaquemine, Dow produces EDC from chlorine and ethylene, cracks the EDC to VCM and HC1 and is thought to consume the HCl in oxidative chlorination of ethylene to produce more EDC. In Freeport, Dow's process is similar, except that the HCl produced is sold (some to Tenneco for VCM) rather than used in oxidative chlorination.
Ethyl purchased its VCM process from Monsanto. Its special position derives from its ability to consume the by-product HCl from cracking EDC in the manufacture of tetraethyl lead. If Ethyl's ethylene and chlorine costs are, similar to ours, and if full chlorine value credit for the HCl is allowed, it may be able to calculate its cost at 5.0/lb., or below. Dow may also be in this range.
CBY 1023653

RSV0031870
o o 6)
but of course, we do not know that either of them is this low, nor do we know how their accounting affects their costs.
Monsanto produces VCM by cracking EDC and using most of the by-product HC1 in two ways - for reaction with acetylene to pro duce VCM and by oxidative reaction with ethylene to produce more EDC. Some HC1 is also used in the Styrene plant and the new Lactic Acid unit will be a consumer. The EDC production, cracking, and purification is probably as efficient and up-to-date as any competitive operation. Monsanto's standard manufacturing cost for VCM at capacity is 5.98^/lb., which reflects the higher cost of disposing of HC1 through reaction with ethylene. The 1963 budgeted cost is 6.47^/lb.
Monsanto's ethylene and chlorine positions are probably as good or better than Ethyl's, but not so favorable as Dow. Our use of by product HC1 to make more VCM through reaction with acetylene and by oxidative chlorination of ethylene is more costly than sale at full chlorine value - but we don't know that Ethyl uses this valuation alternative. Further improvement in our costs can come from greater throughput and from perfection of- the new oxidative chlorina tion process.
Polymer
There probably are significant differences in manufacturing cost for vinyl polymers among the various producers. Capacities for polymerization vary from 5 to 260 million pounds per year, which in itself must produce a significant range of conversion costs. In addition, it is known that the cost of the vinyl monomer varies among`the producers, and it is probable that there are significant variations in yield and in throughput per dollar of investment. A list of PVC producers is given in Table VII B'.
We have little useful information on which to base a judgment of the costs of specific producers as compared with our own, but the information which is available leads us to class ourselves as performing better than the average, in terms of conversion cost and yield. Attempts to negotiate a contract conversion arrangement with other PVC producers yielded our most-recent information.
Concentrated effort to reduce manufacturing costs for vinyl polymers in recent months have yielded good results, e.g., our former process for manufacturing an Opalon copolymer was replaced last year with a new process (X24), which produces at twice the former rate, with the same equipment. As a second example, the yield of vinyl polymer has been improved from 100 pounds of polymer.
C&Y 1023654
RSV0031871
o O' 7)
per 111# of monomer in 1959 to 100# of polymer per 108# of
) monomer in 1963. In spite of this continuously improving conver
sion cost and yield performance in polymer manufacture, we believe we have been a medium high-cost polymer producer because of the high delivered cost of our monomer. One big element of cost is freight. As can be seen from the Table VT, PVC Cost-of-Goods Composition, the annual freight bill for delivering vinyl to Springfield is about $1 M. Obviously those few producers who do not have to pay this bill can demonstrate significantly lower unit cost at their plants. (This advantage could be quickly lost by shipping polymer long distances.) We can also estimate that. Monsanto, Borden, Cary, Escambia and Goodrich produce at approximately the same cost. Smaller producers, such as Great American, pro duce at costs that may be l/2 or more higher than Monsanto.
The potential exists for significant further polymer cost reduction, but it is based principally upon much greater throughput. Between 1/2 and 3/4 per pound could be removed in this fashion. It may be possible also to reduce further the cost of transporting monomer from Texas City to Springfield, although this cost, at 0.86^/lb., is already a bargain rate. For comparison, the cost of transporting Styrene by water from Texas City to Springfield is 0.55/lb. A study is now under way within`Hydrocarbons Division which could result in significant savings through water transportation of vinyl y monomer.
The quality of Monsanto vinyl chloride monomer and vinyl chloride polymer is excellent and has not recently been a deterrent to sales. Polymer quality has been outstanding. Maintaining quality leader ship is expensive, however. Customer requirements are continually changing and competitors are coming forward with improvements at a steady rate. Our present manufacturing capacity is not large enough to support research on the full range of vinyl product appli cations and we must therefore concentrate our effort, in certain areas and let others go untended.
v Effect of Monomer Cost on Polymer Economics
Although the posted market price of vinyl chloride monomer is 8^/lb. with freight equalized from the nearest producing point, most purchasers probably buy for less. We believe that Escambia Chemical buys from Ethyl Corporation for 7.35^/lb. delivered, and it is believed that Thompson receives monomer from Dow for 6.85/lb. delivered to Massachusetts. Because of a much shorter shipping distance, Thompson may receive monomer from Dow at its new Aberdeen, .Mississippi plant for as little as 6.5^/lb. / Monsanto*s budgeted monomer cost, delivered to Springfield, is 7.34^/lb. This number could conceivably be reduced to about
CBY 1023655
RSV0031872
Q o 8)
6.65^/lb. by bringing Bayou and Texas City costs down to the 1 objective levels and by increasing monomer consumption.
Table III A illustrates how the 1963 polymer budget would look if the plant were using monomer purchased at a market price of 6.85^/lb. delivered. Table III A, which is free from Hydro carbons Division SARE and investment, offers $785, 000 more operating profit than Table III, which shows the 1963 budget. This comparison allows further insight into the position of some of our competition.
VI Effect of Withdrawing From the Business
Our vinyl chloride business has a great many dependents and inter actions within the Corporation. For example, the ethylene consump tion in 1963 is budgeted to be 50 million pounds. In' order to gain a better picture of the -whole load carried by vinyl chloride, we have depicted two cases representing two stages of withdrawal from the business. Such a move must be examined over a several-year period in order to account for the gradual absorption of the fixed portions of services, utilities and SARE facilities. We have chosen a five-year period in -which to show the cash flow in three cases.
y Tables VIII A, VIII B, AND VIII C show the five-year cash flow if the business continues as presently planned; if the company
' withdraws from monomer and polymer manufacturing; and if the company withdraws from the polymer business only. The direct economic effect of withdrawal is adverse. Whereas continuing the business yields a cash flow of $6.4 million in five years, complete withdrawal results in a loss of $3.96 million, for a total difference of $10.36 million. In the event it were possible for us to withdraw from the polymer business only and to sell the monomer at 6.8^/lb. net, then the cash flow resulting in five years would be $4.43 mil lion.
In preparing the Tables VIII A, B and C, we have used the Hydro carbons Division and Plastics Division long range plans, sales and profits where applicable. We have assumed that in the case of withdrawal, the VCM, EDC and oxidative chlorination units, as well as the Springfield polymer facilities, except buildings, would be dismantled and retired. For simplification, we have assumed that it would be possible to recover as a retirement loss the entire amount of the present net investment in these facilities. It is assumed that the fixed portion of ethylene, acetylene, and various service and utility units vould be chargeable to the vinyl business until normal expansion, as projected in the five-year plans, required new raw materials and utilities investment. The fairly rapid yearly decline of depreciation charges, which will be noticed in Table VIIIA, results partly from the SYD depreciation and partly from the relief
CBY 1023656
RSV0031873
9)
from heavy`ethylene depreciation that occurs as ethylene usage by other products grows.
Table III B shows a 1963 3D Statement as it might appear if there were no manufacture or sale of vinyl products in 1963. It is clear that between $3 and $4 million worth of expenses would somehow have to be paid if the sale of vinyl products were to be discontinued.
Table V B lists the fixed and variable portions of Hydrocarbons, Overseas, and Plastics Division's SAKE as assumed for the cases presented in TablesVHI B and C.
In addition to the direct economic effect of withdrawal, there are a number of contingent effects which would result. An obvious one is the need to arrange for sale elsewhere of about $2.7 million worth of Organic Division plasticizer products. A second is the need to arrange for the technical support of $18 million worth of overseas vinyl investment in Spain, Argentina, Mexico and Canada. A third example is the effect upon the Building Products Department, Plax Company and Gering Plastics Company, each of which is dependent upon the Plastics Division to some extent for special products or services. Building Products and Plax are utilizing recently developed unique Vyram rigid vinyl compounds which would have to be produced elsewhere - perhaps at sorm loss of efficiency and profit.
Though we have assumed no loss therefrom, it is not clear how Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company would react to our terminating the present chlorine/caustic purchase agreement. Our trade relations with them would be further unbalanced in their direction because of Saflex and Styrene purchases on their part.
VII What could happen to make the picture worse or better than presented.
A) Polymer prices could stabilize or rise, - During the past
month, the Plastics Division led the way in an attempt to
reverse the long downward trend in PVC prices. Increases
have been announced in homopolymer and in copolymer.
Though it is not yet certain that these increases will stick,
there has been almost'unanimous support from the other
producers. Only 3/4-per-pound price increase is needed
on 85 M pounds of suspension products to gain $320, 000
of new after-tax profit. ' This amount of increase would
have placed the 1963 budget in the,black. We believe
such a change is entirely1 possible.
, B) We could gain a distinct technological lead.
CBY 1023657
Research under way in several areas could place Monsanto in the forefront and allow the sale of premium-price vinyl
RSV0031874

products without damaging competition. For example, if Monsanto is first in the market with a truly high performance
fast-fusion paste resin, we could very easily gain several million pounds of paste resin business, on which our incre mental margin would be about 10/lb.
Continued good results with the Vyram rigid compound in bottle blowing at Plax will result in from 5 to 10 million pounds of unforecast business at a margin of about 10/lb.
C) Some competition could withdraw.
Productive capacity of competitors who find the business too distasteful to continue would presumably remain available to compete in the total vinyl market. However, withdrawal of some competitors as corporate units might very well contri bute to an improved price stability.
D) We might succeed in selling more monomer than forecast.
Sale of vinyl monomer has been projected at a modest level by Hydrocarbons Division, while setting for itself an objective of disposing of 30 M pounds beyond this level in the early years. Sale of tli s amount of monomer at an incremental margin of 2/lb. would yield $300,000 of after-tax net profit.
E) The royalties from overseas* use of domestic processes could increase.
The 1963 budget includes royalties on VCM and PVC amounting to $540,000 gross. Sale of the oxidative chlorination process to interested parties overseas could yield as much as $300,000 additional gross royalty per year.
Interest has been displayed by some sources abroad in our process for manufacture of rigid vinyl compounds. Other process developments not yet commercialized here could bring us new income from abroad as well as domestically.

VIII Conclusions
In spite of the forecast growth of vinyl sales, it is difficult to predict future achievement of "bogey" return on investment. Nevertheless, there clearly is opportunity for improved performance through technical achievement and a distinct possibility of improved prices. Our investment in vinyl chloride at home and abroad will continue to contribute to the corporate cash flow far more than would be recovered by withdrawal from the business. In view of these considerations, we feel that we must remain in the vinyl chloride business.
Our strategy is to fill monomer and polymer plants to capacity by expanding sale of both polymer products and monomer and to extract the maximum incremental throughput from the facilities by process improvements. No major new investment is contemplated but certain moderate additions will probably be needed to maintain competitive quality and gain the incremental throughput. (A signi ficant investment for upgrading Chocolate Bayou resin PR is becoming attractive. As mentioned below, a portion of this may be assignable to PVC).
Technical effort will be directed primarily toward protecting the excellent quality reputation of Opalon, Ultron and Vyram branded products, and to bring along a very few carefully screened new products.
While we cannot entirely drop them, because of our integrated film and compound position, we will de-emphasize the very low margin homopolymer products and gradually replace them with higher margin suspension-polymerized materials. The entire Vyram rigid PVC program is based upon this approach. No new investment has been required to start commercial production of rigid resin or rigid compound because they have displaced lower profit level products.
Basic plans, from the long range plans of the two divisions, are:
1) Continue pressure for improved price stability.
2) Trim costs through incremental expansions of paste resin and homopolymer capacity, based upon process improvements.
3) Supplant low-margin elastomeric compounds with higher margin rigid compounds, and increase throughput with machinery changes.
CBV 10Z3659
RSV0031876
0 o 1Z)
4) Continue as a major quality factor in the paste resin business by introducing a faster fusing resin and a paste diluent.
5) Replace lower margin homopolymer resin sales with other products made in the same equipment. (Constituents for the rigid compounds, paste resin diluent, and special low molecular weight homopolymers are the first candidates.)
6) Develop a transparent bottle blowing compound by the end of 1964 for introduction through Plax Company.
7) Choose one other major new product idea and develop during this period. A possibility, still in the conceptual stage, involves the use of very low-cost combinations of Chocolate Bayou resins PR and PVC to produce fabricated products for new markets.
8) Obtain 20 to 40 million pounds per year of additional VCM sales or use through conversion, trade relations, or joint sales proposals with other divisions.
