Joyce The President's Report For the fiscal year which ended August 31, the company's net sales amounted to $197.5 million. This represents a marginal increase over the sales results of the prior year. Unsettled economic conditions and strong competition in certain product lines were contributing factors and prevented us from ob taining the sales gains forecast at the beginning of 1960. Net income declined 12% to $6.7 million. Expenses for the year were budgeted for a much higher sales level than was reached. Those relating to current operations have been effectively brought under control. However, it is not our intention to reduce other expenses which are related to the develop ment of longer term profit potential. Among the items included in this category are research and development* market studies, distribution growth and expansion of productive capacity. Increases in these activities accounted for more than half of the profit decline. Both the Paint and Durkee Famous Foods Divisions registered a sales im provement, while sales of the Chemicals Division were off slightly. Only the Durkee Division produced a profit increase. A detailed review of the operations of each division begins on Page 3 of this report. Capital expenditures for the year amounted to $8.8 million, which repre sents a 15% increase over the previous year. Principal projects included terpene chemicals, expansion of resin-producing facilities, additions to the titanium dioxide plant and further modernization Of our edible oil refineries. On the basis of current plans, capital outlays for fiscal 1961 will be between $8 and $10 million, Our long-range planning activities, which were started several years ago, have now been formalized under the guidance of a full-time staff. We have come a long way in recent years, strengthening and revamping the organi zation and product structure! of this company--but we still have a great deal of work ahead Of us in order to reach all our objectives. Expenses connected 1 GLD018853 with this program undoubtedly will continue to have a substantial effect upon profits for at least the next two years. Research and development expenditures for the year were increased $300,000. To date, most of our technical activities have been devoted to creating new markets and to meeting the needs of our customers through new products and product improvement. As a part of our planning effort, we have concentrated on a review of our entire research, development, and related technical operations. With the help of outside consultants, we have confirmed many of our actions; we have found technical assets on which we can capitalize; and we have found areas where we can make improve ments. To the extent consistent with sound financial policy, we will continue to broaden and build upon this vital function. During the year, the former Chemicals-Pigments-Metals and Organic Chemical Divisions were consolidated into a single Chemicals Division to provide more effective and efficient management guidance and control. Mr. G. M. Halsey was appointed to head this new division; and Mr. G. S. Warner, who was formerly controller, was elected vice president--operations. In a similar move, Mr. P. W. Keidhardt was recently elected vice president-- operations of the Paint Division. The creation of these new positions will permit the senior divisional executives to devote more of their time to corporate planning, rather than day-to-day operations. Mr. D. E. Erekine was elected controller to succeed Mr. Warner. Operations of The Glidden Company, Ltd., showed substantial improve ment during the year. With an expanding distribution system and greater production facilities, we are confident that our Canadian subsidiary will confinue to grow at a faster rate than similar domestic operations. Progress was made in the development of our overseas activities through Glidden International, an unconsolidated subsidiary. A technological assist ance and licensing agreemenr. was entered into with N. V. Titaandioxyde- fabriek for the construction of a titanium dioxide plant in the Nether lands. Another license agreement, covering paint products, was made with Courtauids, Ltd., one of the leading chemical companies in Great Britain. After the close of the fiscal year, Glidden International acquired General Paint de Mexico, a subsidiary of the General Pacific Corporation. It is our intention to use this operation, together with other acquisitions; to build our paint business in the growing Mexican economy. We have been investigating a number of opportunities in the European and I am hope ful that one or more of these possibilit ies At this time, it is difficult our national economy. Thus, to discern an to forecast is upvf not il|:|itel|^'.alsb: impru- dent, as there are many cross-currents which of our busincsc. Nonetheless, T personally belil leas 1 affect the many segments that this year will be at i4si|ill||3?':''(|i|tiit'::WUl be considers November 8,1960 Chairman and President GL001P8 54 Both consumer and industrial paint sales in' creased in 1960, reaching a newhigh of$89,914,001, as compared to the 1959 figure of $86,664,828. Sales resulting from new products and new mar kets offset declines caused by a series of adverse economic factors. The market for consumer paints was affected poor weather conditions during key retail ^"selling months and by competition from lowpriced, low-quality interior paints. Earlier in the year, the steel strike slowed down demand for industrial coatings, and a sharp drop in the production of durable goods, particularly appli ances, resulted in a lower sales potential during the last three months. Because of these factors, the division was unable to obtain the full benefit from marketing programs designed to better the growth rate of prior years. Earnings Affected by Expansion Program Divisional earnings were lower than the record set the previous year. This condition can be directly traced to costs connected with vital long-range growth programs, such as production and distribution expansion, research, and newproduct introduction. Continued emphasis has been placed upon en largement of the distribution system for con sumer products, including further acceleration in the opening of company-operated wholesaleretail units. During the past year, over 30 Buch units were added, bringing the total to 180 now operation. Latex House Paint Successfully Introduced Spred House Paint, the new latex-emulsion paint for exterior wood siding, was successfully introduced last spring. In order to obtain the many advantages and to assure top performance from this product, a special primer must be used on the first application. While consumer interest was high, sales were somewhat limited because of this requirement. Once the consumer becomes more familiar with Spred House Paint, resistance will diminish. And, within a few years, exterior latex house paint will occupy as strong a market position as is now enjoyed by interior products such as Spred Satin. More attention is being given to the develop ment of new markets for industrial resins and coatings. Research and development expenditures have been increased, and existing technical knowl edge is being directed toward selected fields of special promise in which the company is not now active. As a part of this program, cooperative development projects have been started with companies in the paper, plastics and metal deco rating industries. During the year, new acrylic enamels were introduced to the appliance industry and other metal fabricators; further improve ment was made in water-reducible finishes for automotive and general industrial use; and a line of resins and coatings was developed for lumbermill application on cedar siding, plywood, hardboard and particle board. Plant Expansion Planned Plans are now being drawn for a new paint plant to be located on a 34-acre tract at Carroll ton, Texas, a suburb of Dallas. This facility is being designed to produce aifull line of consumer and industrial paint products; and will enable the division to better serve the growing market in tho Southwest. Additional resin reactors were placed in opera tion at the Chicago, Cleveland, San Francisco and Toronto plants, and a similar reactor is now being installed at the Reading, Pennsylvania, plant. With the increasing importance of poly ester resins and the development of new resins and latexes for use in (the company's paint prod ucts, further resin expansion will undoubtedly be necessary in the near future. While an improvement in sales volume is antici pated for 1961, near-term profit gains will be modest due to the costs involved in obtaining broader retail distribution and in accelerating research and development. These programs are essential in the creation of new markets and are expected to greatly improve the division's profit potential in future years. 3 GLDO18855 Unit volume of the Durkee Famous Foods Division in I960 increased 11%. Because of lower vegetable oil price levels, dollar sales were up only 1%, from $78,305,989 in 1959 to $79,433,510 in 1960. Durkee was able to increase its share of themarketin all major categories, despite severe' competition within the edible oil industry. Divisional Profits Up 15% Increased volume plus the cost savings from new processing equipment enabled the division to register a 15% gain in profits. This improvement also reflects continuing emphasis upon the de velopment of specialty products and services as a means of maintaining satisfactory profit margins. For example, a new pourable cake shortening. Fluid Flex, was introduced to the commercial baking industry this past year. Initial interest in this completely different product has been good, and market acceptance will improve as new tech niques for its use are further developed. Another new edible oil product, Kaola Gold, is now being marketed to restaurants, drive-ins and other mass-feeding establishments. A yellow shorten ing made from vegetable oils by a patented process, it is specially designed for grill and pan frying and has a very sizable market potential for use in institutional food preparation. Both sales and profits from retail food opera tions showed improvement. Instant Minced Onion was successfully placed in national dis tribution and is gradually gaining in consumer acceptance. A 72-item line of gourmet seasonings in decorator-styled glass jars was also introduced last year. Research Activities Increased In the future, even greater emphasis will be placed on research and market development activities. Additional key personnel have been employed for both functions, budgets have been increased, and more management attention is being devoted to directing these activities in an effort to maximize sales and profit opportunities. A new home economics department has been established at the Bethlehem plant to supplement existing facilities in Chicago. In addition to in ternal growth, an active search is being conduct ed for the acquisition of specialty food companies and grocery items to broaden the division's productiline. Refinery Expansion Continues Additional land, adjacent to each of the three edible oil refineries, has been acquired for future expansion. Another semicontinuous deodorizer^ and other equipment are being installed alffB Berkeley, California, to modernize that plant fully. A new warehouse and packaging building is being erected at Louisville to free existing Bpace for more production equipment. In Chicago, construction of additional refinery capacity is now under way and is scheduled for completion by mid-1962. This addition repre sents a part of a long-range research program directed toward the development of new methods for processing vegetable oils. Utilizing technology derived1 from the chemical industry, the new process will permit the production of a series of new edible oil products. The final step in the division's reorganization plan was completed when the remaining segment of the table margarine and salad products busi ness was sold during the third quarter to Beatrice Foods, Inc. The elimination of this operation, which was carried on at the Berkeley plant, will permit personnel to concentrate on the further development of the bulk edible oil business on the West Coast. The efforts of recent years to strengthen the division's personnel, products and production facilities have begun to pay off in terms of in-A creased sales and profits. Although the food in-TM dustry remains extremely competitive, the pros pects for continued improvement during the current year are good. GlD01P856 ( Sales of the Chemicals Division were $28,143,320 pompared to $28,793,572 in 1959. This reduction reflects the loss of volume provided by the former gum naval stores operation, which was sold in April. Divisional profits were considerably lower than those of the previous year. The major portion of the profit decline was caused by start-up and development costs--amounting to more than $1 million. These costs were connected with the new ilmenite mining operation, expansion of titanitim dioxide capacity, the new synthetic menthol and aromatic chemical plant plus increased research activities. Profits were also affected by higher depreciation and other fixed charges without a corresponding increase in sales. Pigment Operations Satisfactory Sales of titanium dioxide and other pigments showed a slight increase over the record level set in 1959. The construction of additional tita nium dioxide capacity has been virtually com pleted and will provide more flexibility in pro ducing the various pigment grades necessary to meetchanging customer needs. AlieW Cost-saving grade of titanium dioxide pigment for paper ^Ocoatjng is now being introduced and should VJ*rurther strengthen the company's position as a major supplier to this industry. After a year of extensive engineering develop ment and testing, construction of mining and processing facilities has been started at the Lakehurst, New Jersey, ilmenite ore site, which was acquired in October of last year. Scheduled for completion by 1962, this operation will provide a major portion of the ore requirements for tita nium dioxide production and should permit a sub stantial reduction in raw material inventories and operating costs. A sharp decline in demand from the automo tive and appliance industries during the latter part of the year resulted in lower sales and profits from the metal powder operation, which has historically been very cyclical. In order to diversi fy this business, research and development has been increased and is being conducted at a laboratory and pilot plant recently completed at Hammond, Indiana. Menthol Plant Nears Completion Construction of the new synthetic menthol and aromatic chemical plant at Jacksonville has pro ceeded on schedule. Limited quantities ofmenthol have been produced in recent months, and this output is being successfully marketed as a re placement for natural menthol. To date, the de sign of these facilities has permitted the produc tion of only test or semicommercial quantities. During 1961, the plant will gradually be brought to full-scale commercial production. Tall Oil Now Profitable Sparked by the introduction of several new items and a more aggressive marketing program, sales of tall oil products were almost double those of the previous year. Production problems, which had prevented profitable operation, have been solved, and month-to-month improvements in profit were made during the second half of the year. A more substantial gain in sales and earn ings is expected for the current year. As previously mentioned, the gum turpentine and rosin plant, at Valdosta, Georgia, was sold to Turpentine and Rosin Factors, Inc., during the third quarter. With the change in emphasis away from the historic naval stores business, the products andjifacilities of this plant no longer met the division's long-range needs. Progress was madeTn rearranging and strength ening the division, although sales and profits for 1960 did notibome lip to expectations. The out look is good, and with an anticipated reduction in start-up and development expenses, operating results for the current year should be consider ably better, 5 GLD018857 Through dealer demonstrations, consumers were shown the many advantages of Spred House Paint. This new latex-emulsion paint for exterior wood siding was introduced nationally during 1960. Additional reactors at five key plants will permit the Paint Division to meet the growing demand for polyester resins and to produce specially developed resins for its paint products. To aid in the development of improved pigments for the paper industry, the complete paper-making process can be dupli-^ cated in this section of the new Chemicals Division laboratory^ 6 GlD018858 Among the new Durkee food products is this 72-item line of gourmet spices and seasonings packaged in decorator-styled jars. The $2,000,000 synthetic men thol and aromatic chemical plant nears completion at Jacksonville. Plans are being drawn for a new paint plant near Dallas, Texas, which will enable the company to better serve the growing market in the southwestern United States.

The comparable figures for the 1959 fiscal year were $53,229,592 and 27.2%. Income from Operations The gain in gross profit was offset by a sub stantial increase in selling and administrative expenses. As a result, income from operations declined from $16,425,704 in 1959 to $14,066,045. The addition of personnel, required by expan sion of marketing and distribution programs, re sulted in an increase in selling and administrative salaries of almost $2,000,000. Other principal increase? were for research and development, rental of distribution facilities, and advertising 8 and promotion.

These charges includecT $4,946,134 taken against properties operated by the company and $2,013,837 taken against the former Chemurgy Division properties now leased to the Central Soya Company. Cash Flow Cash flow generated from operations was $13,650,327, equivalent to $5.91 per share, com pared to $14,212,844 or $6.16 a share for the previous year. Dividends Dividends totalled $4,620,700, based upon the regular $2.00 annual rate. In fiscal 1960, 69% of net income was distributed to shareholders as dividends. During the 1960 calendar year, the following quarterly dividend payments were made: Record Date December 8 March 8 June 8 September 8 Date Paid January 4 April 1 July 1 October 3 Amount Per Share $ .50 .50 .50 .50 GL001P860 The, indenture, under which the company's 4^ % Sinking Fund Debentures are issued, re stricts the payment of dividends after August 31, 1958, to consolidated net income earned subse quent to that date plus $10,000,000. At August 31,1960, $15,093,392 was freeof such restriction. Working Capital Working capital of $59,721,934 at the year end represented a new all-time high. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 4.97 to 1. Inventories Inventories at August 31, totalled $40,665,766, compared to $39,588,415 at the end of the 1959 fiscal year. The increase in inventories was entire ly due to higher finished products, primarily in the Paint Division for stocking new distribution outlets. f Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, using the average cost method on the major portion, and the last-in, first-out method on certain edible oils and other commodities. At August 31, 1960, inventories carried on a LIFO basis amounted to $1,665,437, which was approxi mately $426,000 less than replacement market. All dead and obsolete stocks have been eliminated or written down to disposable value. Property, Plant and Equipment Capital expenditures for new property, plant and equipment were $8,764,000 in 1960, com pared with $7,607,001 in 1959.

Central also has an option to purchase these properties on August 31,1961, for $8,550,000, payable in cash. At that time, the properties will have an unamortized cost on the company's books of approximately $7,624,000. Common Stock Common stock outstanding at August 31,1960, consisted of 2,310,590 shares. At the beginning of the1960 fiscal year, options were outstanding for 82,640 shares of common stock pursuant to a restricted stock option plan for key management employees approved by shareholders in 1952. During the year, options for 2,740 shares were exercised, and options for 500 shares were can celled under the 1952 plan. On September 29, 1959, the Board of Directors terminated authority to grant options under the 1952 plan. On Decem ber 10, 1959, shareholders approved a new stock option incentive plan under which options may be granted to key personnel for the purchase of up to 100,000 shares of stock at a price not less than 100% of the market value of the shares at the time such options are granted. Under the 1959 plan, options are exercisable in whole or in part after two years from the date granted. Dur ing the year, options for 18,900 shares were granted under the 1959 plan. At August 31,1960, options were held by key employees for 98,300 shares under both plans, and 81,100 shares were available for the granting of options under the 1959 plan. Wages and Salaries Total wages, salaries and employee benefits amounted to $39,484,429 in 1960 and were 20.0% of sales. The comparable figures for fiscal 1959 were $36,436,403 and 18.6%. Employee retire ment funds deposited with bank trustees now total $15,151,782. The retirement plans are non contributory, the company paying the entire cost. At August 31, 1960, the unfunded liability for past service costs under the plans was esti mated to be $4,200,000, and the annual current service cost (which does not include funding of the past service cost) was estimated to be $960,000. Taxes Taxes on income were $6,948,000, equal to $3.01 per share. Taxes other than on income amounted to $2,085,530. 9 GLD018861 Consolidated Balance Sheets THE GLIDDEN COMPANY AND CANADIAN SUBSIDIARY August Sl, 1960, and August 31,1959 ( i | i ! i 10 L CURRENT ASSETS Cash ...............................................................
