"We are committed to keeping costs down and to being innovative and disciplined in production and in the investments we make on your behalf.'1''
The strengths which made Georgia-Pacific a leading forest products company sustained that position during one of the most challenging years the industry has experienced. We retained our position because of our commit ment to being a low-cost, efficient producer of high-quality forest

products and because we have moved closer to our customers with reliable service, continu ously improving quality and upgrading product mix.
We performed well in wood products, despite increased lum ber imports and overcapacity in panel markets. Our perfor mance in pulp and paper was disappointing, in large part because of the strong L.S. dollar against foreign currencies and excess worldwide pulp and paper capacity.
Georgia-Pacific is dedicated to the continued growth and
strength of its premier building products business. We achieved near-record performance in this area despite severely depressed markets, and believe that success is due to a combination of several factors.
We are a low-cost, efficient producer because we have con tinued to make investments in our mills. Our large and efficient Distribution Division adds even greater value to our building products by moving them swiftly to the marketplace. We have con tinued our commitment to serve the needs of new residential construction markets and. at the same time, we have increased our emphasis on the "Do-[t-\'ourself " and remodeling and repair markets. Our gypsum wallboard business continues to be strong, and we recently announced plans to increase our presence with construction of a new gypsum wallboard plant in Nevada to serve the Western region.
\ significant factor disrupting the entile building products industry is the continued flood into the l nited States of Cana dian softwood lumber imports, which are promoted by low-cost government stum page prices and other subsidies. This problem is now being addressed through
legislative, administrative and diplomatic channels. Success in reducing lumber imports through measures that make trade fairer will help restore the traditional supply/demand balance and help stem the liquidation of manv L.S. producers.
Our pulp and paper business was particularly affected by difficult conditions during L985. In 1986. we expect that business to show improvement, although adverse conditions facing the L.S. pulp and paper industry will likely persist. We are. however, seeing improvement in some major markets, particularly unbleached kraft. linerboard and pulp.
Our pulp and paper business also experienced some short-term disruptions during 1985 which, while costly, we believe will be beneficial for the long-term. Our
253
Income from Continuing Operations (millions of dollarsl
SGP 0030548
investments in new and converted equipment projects at several of our major mills slowed produc tion, but will improve manufac turing efficiencies and increase the value of our paper products. We also experienced a lengthy strike at our major mill at Crossett, Arkansas, which was disruptive to our operations, but furthered our efforts to bring about improvements in productivity.
In the important tissue sector, we moved to strengthen our position. We also acquired four disposable diaper plants that manufacture primarily private label products. A number of programs to upgrade quality and expand production have already been undertaken. This addition to our product mix not only furthers our goal toward higher value-added products, but underscores our commitment to customer service and quality.
An integral part of both our building products and pulp and paper businesses is our specialty chemical and thermosetting resin division. We enhanced our leader ship in wood product resins with a new spray-dried thermosetting resin facility to supply the grow ing market for waferboard resins. We are also moving forward with plans to construct a resin facility in northern Michigan to serve the growing forest products industry in that region.
Earlier in 1985. we agreed to sell or trade, over a three-year period. 134,000 acres of timberlands in the West because it was more useful to the buyer's West ern operations than to our own. We will consider selling additional acreage if we determine that it will benefit our shareholders.
The financial structure of the companv has been strengthened over the past few years to accom modate the possibility of acqui sitions. as well as to sustain our internal capital investment pro

gram. During 1985, our operating cash flow totaled $771 million and capital investments were $642 million.
We anticipate investing approx imately $550 million in 1986 to continue improving our manufac turing efficiency and upgrading our product lines. Our level of capital spending, however, will depend upon what changes are made in the tax code. Any reduc tion or elimination of incentives to invest in production facilities would adversely impact our capital investment plans.
Our investments are made with the objective of generating improved return to our share holders. For 1986, we look forward to continued efforts to generate increased value for you, our share holders. We are committed to keeping costs down and to being innovative and disciplined in pro duction and in the investments we make on your behalf.
We are dedicated to our priori ties of focusing on the strengths of our building products business and improving the strengths of our pulp and paper business. As we move closer to our customers with upgraded products of tile

Building Products
The Do-It-Yourself Phenomenon/A Marketing Strategy
"There's no sense ofaccomplishment like the one Ifeel when I build something myself I've relied on Georgia-Pacific products for years --right down to the smallest house." Georgia-Pacific products for do-ityourselfprojects are available in thousands ofhome centers across the country.
INITIATIVE IN ACTION: TWO CASES Georgia-Pacific has built and retained a leadership position in theforest products industry because we have not lost sight of our goal of adding maximum value to our company. We have developed a case studyfor each of ourfiber-based businesses to illustrate how we are managing our assets to increase shareholder value in the challenging envi ronment confronting theforest products industry.
DIY STRATEGY America has built much of its housing with building materials made by Georgia-Pacific. During the boom years of the 1960s and "70s, we moved to the forefront of the industry by serving our nation's growing demand for qual ity shelter. Although we continue as the leading supplier of building products to new residential con struction, our sales to remodeling, repair and additions are increas ingly significant.
During the 1970s, even while housing construction was fueling the greatest boom our industry
has ever known, we recognized that over the longer term we should reduce reliance on this interest-rate-sensitive sector. We saw in remodeling and repair a stable and growing market for building products, which was not as affected by interest rates and which would benefit by several long-term trends. Among them were: Americas aging housing stock that had become prime for remodeling and repair work, creating a market that was grow ing bigger every year. Rising median home prices that were encouraging more people to remodel, rather than move.
But opportunities for remodel ing and repair also increase as sales of existing and new homes increase. Housing affordability--
G-P is the largest distributor of nails.
based on inflation, interest rates and housing payments as a per centage of family income --is rising again, creating more home improvement opportunities as people buy or change homes. Increased family income is also spurring expenditures for home improvement projects.
As Georgia-Pacific established itself as the premier supplier to the home improvement industry, we became strategically positioned to benefit from the phenomenal rise of the do-it-yourself (DIY) market. Currently the most rapidly growing part of the remodeling/repair market, DIY growth is expected to increase more than 12% each year through 1990. According to the DIY Insti tute and the Bureau of Building Marketing Research, the DIY retail market stands today at $52 billion, and is heading rapid ly for $100 billion by the end of the decade.
Today, three out of four house holds engage in some type of home improvement work. Home modernization expenditures per family are also increasing as DIYers gain confidence and expertise.

One of the vays Georgia-Pacific has stimulated and shaped the positive direction of the DIY trend is with innovative con sumer campaigns. Designed to provide motivation and build confidence--which enhance the overall market--our campaigns also build Georgia-Pacific brand name recognition, brand loyalty and sales.
Because we realize that the ultimate user of Georgia-Pacific products is more and more often the homeowner, we have designed "user friend! " packaging and labeling. To h dp retailers mer chandise our products better, we continue to develop new point-ofpurchase displays and literature. Last year, more than 600,000 pieces of literature from our Great

Possibilitieshome library were put into the hands of consumers.
We have a powerful advantage in maintaining and strengthening this position in the remodeling/ repair market: The marketing muscle of our Distribution Divi sion. With more than 140 whole sale distribution centers serving every major metropolitan area in the United States, Georgia-Pacific is closer to its customers than anyone else in the industry.
Recently 1,500 building supply and home center retailers were surveyed to define the most impor tant factors influencing their selection of suppliers. Retailers were also asked to identify how well major building material sup pliers were fulfilling their needs. In virtually every attribute. G-P s rating was more than twice that of the second-ranked supplier.
Today's demographic and economic environments favor increased remodeling, repair and expansion of existing dwellings. Our plans for the future include increased development and pene tration of the DIY market, with new products and programs. The potential for growth in this sector is impressive and Georgia-Pacific

"When my mother asked me how she might stretch her income a little, I suggested that we increase the efficiency of heating and cooling her home. I installed the same product I had used in my own home -- G-P insulation. We achieved an important savings, at a reasonable expense
Our success in building products comes from our ability to control costs and to upgrade manufacturing facilities and product lines for greater profit ability. The marketing muscle of our Distribution Division enables us to move these new products to customers nationwide and to devel op new markets and customers.
As outlined in more detail in the case study on pages 4-6, our Distribution Division helped us strengthen our position as a leading supplier to the growing market for remodeling, repair and additions.
Our distribution svstem is also tapping the potential of other markets such as commercial and industrial construction and is a powerful vehicle for establishing new products which have greater profitability and growth potential.
Recent product additions include composite panels such as oriented strand board (OSB) and waferboard. OSB uses lowercost raw materials than plywood and has received enthusiastic customer reception for many uses. Last year we started up two large OSB plants at Grenada. Missis sippi. and Skippers. \ irginia.
which will soon be producing at full capacity.
Our annual capacity to produce OSB and waferboard now stands
G-P added two large OSB plants in 1985.
at 815 million septare feet (3/8 inch basis), allowing us to shift our plywood production toward more profitable specialty products, such as sanded grades, and grades used for siding and concrete form. For example, we began manufacturing nine- and ten-foot plywood siding at Russell ville. South Carolina, in 1985. and will soon begin production at Crossett, Arkansas, as well. Our experience with the produc tion at Russellville has been extremely encouraging. Through the strategic positioning of these facilities and the marketing strength of our Distribution Divi sion. we will successfully penetrate
Eastern markets for this longer siding, which have traditionally been served by facilities west of the Rockies.
Our Southern pine plywood plants are currently producing more than 50% specialties and that proportion will continue to rise during 1986 and in future years. This plywood diversifi cation strategy has helped G-P maintain leadership and generate superior profits in the produc tion and marketing of plvwood.
The productivity improvements in our plywood operations have helped us do well in this part of the business, despite the oversup ply in structural panel markets. Our investments in improved technologies have enabled us to improve timber utilization. For example, wc are currently peeling nearly 70% more veneer from each log as when we pioneered the Southern pine plvwood industry in the 1960s.
Although Canadian lumber imports resulted in lower prices than expected during 1985. Georgia-Pacific remained a strong factor in the lumber busi ness. Our distribution strength plavcd a substantial role in
SGP 0030555
SGP 0030556
maintaining a superior position in this oversupplied sector, as did the growing market for treated Southern pine lumber and our ability to improve quality, while reducing costs.
Virtually all of our sawmills now benefit from thin-kerf saws, which cut a smaller path in the log, resulting in more lumber and less sawdust. In our softwood lumber mills, we are completing installation of computerized trimmer and edger optimizers, which scan each board for maxi mum yield.
We acquired two sawmills in Virginia that will improve our service to the growing midAtlantic markets, and we are expanding production at our hi Dorado. Arkansas, sawmill. We also acquired a hardwood lum ber dry kiln and planing facility in western North Carolina to serve the furniture and related indus tries. while adding value to our Appalachian hardwood lumber.
Georgia-Pacific is also a leading supplier ol thermosetting resins and adhesive binders to the wood products industry, and we make; many other industrial resins as we II. During 1985. we began to
serve the rapidlv growing market for the new composite structural panels with start-up of the nations first spray-dried waferboard resin plant at Crossett. Arkansas.
Strong demand continued for gypsum products in 1985. and our performance also benefited from reduced costs and new products. We recently introduced Dens-Glass ' (patents pending), a svstem which uses gypsum wallboard with fiberglass surfacing on the face and back. This new product has waterproofing characteristics that make it

We strengthened our gypsum operations with expansions at Acme. Texas, and Brunswick. Georgia: development of a new
quarry in Nova Scotia. Canada: and internal improvements that lowered energy use. an important cost component of gypsum manu facturing. In January, the Board of Directors approved a new wallboard plant in southern Nevada.
The combination of our strong distribution network and efficient and strategically located manu facturing facilities makes us the leader in building products. As our Distribution Divisions slogan points out: "America Builds on Our Name?""

Early in 1985. Georgia-Pacific agreed to veil 134.000 acres of Douglas fir limber in Oregon lo
SGP 0030557
another forest products company or to exchange them for timberlands of equivalent value. During the vitar we transferred or ex changed approximately 80,000 acres, with tlie remainder of the transaction to be completed over the next three vears.
Uthough we will consider sellin;; additional acreage if such a sale would benefit our share holders. we have not put large tracts of land on the market. In fact, we have continued to purchase timberlands in close proximity to our manufacturing facilities, when it makes economic sense to do so.
Because our lands are well located and because we have managed them effectively. G-P can -till derive good returns bv continuing to manage our lands for sustained timber supply to our plants and mills.
Several factors, however, make it unlikely that companies or individuals will accumulate and manage timberlands in the future as tiles have done in the past.
There will be a devastating impact on the ability of landow iters to manage their timber if the tax proposal to end capital
gains treatment for timber, and to require owners to capitalize forest management expenses, is enacted into law. When coin-

Before capital gains treatment for timber was adopted in the 1940s. valuable forests in entire regions of the country were decimated.

relic on the rules for expensing of coats since adoption of the tax laws in 1913, and the capital gains rules since 1944. These rules were enacted because the long-term management of forest resources was viewed by Congress as good economic and social policy that would benefit the entire nation --not merely a single industry. A change at this time is, in effect, a penalty against an industry which has invested billions of dollars relying on these laws.
We eel strongly that our nation certainly will not benefit by a return to the policies of the past and that those policies will penal ize an industry that can be an enduring source of economic strength for our nation. We are continuing to manage our timberlands on a long-term basis and hope that the government will not provide a tax environment that discourages us from contin uing these long-term programs.

Capitalizing On Opportunity
"Our apples travel cross country, and they have to arrive just as they came from the tree. We count on Georgia-Pacific boxes to protect ourfruit --and to carry our name, as well.'' In addition to their strength, G-P boxes are printed to each customer's specification.
container growth
Georgia-Pacific was already a major presence in the forest products industry when it entered the paper business in 1957. Today. G-P has major posi tions in several paper markets, including corrugated containers and linerboard where we have evolved --in less than five vears -- from a successful regional oper ator to a national presence.
During the 1960s and 1970s. we gained a leadership position on the West Coast in the growing market Tor specialty containers for igribusiness. Building on this foundation, we expanded nation ally in 1981 by acquiring nine corrugated container facilities east of the Rockies.
In 1984. Georgia-Pacific added another modern linerboard mill and 16 corrugated container plants, along with supporting timberlands. With this acquisi tion. we achieved our objective of adding linerboard manufacturing and converting capacity in the East to complement our Western production at Toledo. Oregon. From the newlv acquired mill, located at Monticello. Mississippi, we can economicalk ship lincr-

board throughout central and eastern United States, as well as to export markets. A recent expansion has provided us with sufficient capacity to be a net seller of linerboard and also to supply our own growing con tainer production.
Today. Georgia-Pacific operates 30 corrugated container facilities nationwide. We have grown stead ily in production volume. We are among the industry's lowest-cost producers and are expanding our capabilities to take advantage of the higher profit margins avail able for specialty containers.
Our improving profitability in this sector is attributable to our low-cost production and reputa tion as a supplier of high-quality packaging. Investments have been
made to assure product quality and to improve cost control, streamlining production anti encouraging a team approach at each stage of manufacturing. A program of statistical quality control is being implemented to eliminate downstream quality deterioration.
During 1985. yve began a $46 million modernization pro gram of our Container Division to reduce unit labor costs. It included implementation of robotics at three operations, increasing efficiency by elimi nating much in-plant material handling. Similar robotic equip ment will be installed at our other facilities.

we recently invested in a research and development testing labora tory to evaluate performance criteria of raw materials as well as new packaging designs. This laboratory will also allow us to enhance performance charac teristics of packaging through analysis of coatings and additives.
The container business has been moving forward quickly, with many opportunities to add value and upgrade product lines to more specialized output. For example, todays retail industry demands ``consumer friendly" packaging that informs customers
about the product inside. A significant value-added
dimension to G-P containers is direct printing at the container manufacturing site. Many of our facilities already can process pre printed linerboard prior to con tainer construction, and two of our Midwest facilities manufac ture Coralure containers, which are lithographed in up to six colors.
Georgia-Pacific is one of the few producers of triple-wall con tainers, used when extraordinary strength is essential for shipment of large, heavy equipment such as computer main frames or farm equipment. We manufacture triple-wall containers in Ohio and New York, and plan to add that capability in the West.
We are also a major producer of laminated bulk boxes. Two double-walled laminated layers provide strength for these large containers which can hold from 500 to 2,000 pounds of materials, including petrochemicals, resins and foods such as peanuts, corn and peas.
Georgia-Pacific has many other specialty products under develop ment to take advantage of grow ing opportunities for custom and

Despite the current depressed conditions in the paper business, the longer-term outlook for the U.S. industry is bright because of our country's advantages with respect to fiber supply and acces sibility of that supply. As a result
G-P's fastest growing paper grades are the commercial tissue products for the fast food industry.
of the capital projects that have been undertaken to improve our facilities, our company will enjoy the advantage of modern, efficient facilities producing higher-margin products. The paper industry is currently undergoing a period of consoli dation, and we feel there will be opportunities to benefit our share holders through acquisitions.

fCTHER SELECTED FINANCIAL RATIOS .
'tfiW'SSstlniaddilioni to the return on capital employed, we consider iS^S^^fiS^^^fK^thi^ee'retuturrhh on common equity to be an important perfor-
^^|manoe:measure. As with any single financial ratio, howeve'h - -
'the return on common equity conveys a limited amount of P'.li information About financial performance. Georgia-Pacific's gl^alesl'^^ets and income levels and capital structure are all *;
interrelated factors which affect return on common equity. The following definitions, ratios and discussion attempt sto describe certain of these factors and illustrate their effects on our return on common equity since 1981.
Return on Sales--defined as income from continuing
operations divided by net sales. It is a measure of the .profit earned on each sales dollar.
Asset Turnover.-r defined as net sales divided by total .assets, excluding net assets of discontinued operations,- as . of the beginning of the year. It is a measure,ofjhe sales, - ; volume generated by the assets employed during the year. . . - Return on Assets--defined as return on sales multiplied by asset turnover or, alternatively, income from continuing operations divided by total assets, excluding net assets of discontinued operations, as of the beginning of the year. It is a measure of the profit generated by the assets
SGP 0030568
employed during the year. Return on assets can be
improved by increasing either return on sales or asset turnover.
Assets-to-Common Equity--defined as total assets,
excluding net assets of discontinued operations, divided by
common shareholders' equity, both measured as of the
beginning of the year. It is a measure of financial leverage,
or the degree to which we use borrowed money to finance'
our assets. Increases in financial leverage will increase
return on common equity when earnings are sufficient to
cover the cost of borrowed money.

From the table it can be seen that.Georgia-Pacific's return,
on common equity improved to 12.6 percent from 1.0
. percent between 1982 and 1984, before dechning tq:lp.2
percent in 1985. The primary reasons for the improvement
were increases in sales volume.and profit margin. Increases
in both our asset turnover and return on sales during 1983
and 1984 resulted in substantial miprqvements in return. G

LIQUIDITY AN D CAPITAL RESOURCES
Despitelower earnings caused by weak markets in our pulp and paper segment, cash provided by continuing operations increased 51 percent in 1985 to $771 million from $509 million in 1984. Significant reductions of receivables and inventory levels contributed to this improvement. Cash flow from continuing operations was supplemented with proceeds from sales of discontinued operations and available financing sources, when appropri ate, in order to fund capital expenditures of $642 million, net retirements of debt and preferred stock of $169 million and dividend payments of $94 million.
Georgia-Pacific's capacity to generate funds internally, together with committed lines of credit and other available financing sources, is adequate to finance growth and meet our operating and liquidity needs for the foreseeable future. At the end of 1985, our existing domestic, foreign

and regional bank lines of credit amounted to $700 mil- :;-

to support commercial paper and master note borrowings.
Also at December 31, 1985, we had $250 million of
debt securities registered for sale with the Securities and
; Exchange Commission under a shelf registration state-,
merit. The Corporation has maintained this approximate
level of registered but unsold debt securities since 1983 to
. enable us to react quickly to acquisition opportunities and
favorable market conditions forrestriicturingexisting debt!
In April, 1985, the Corporation accepted tenders for
approximately $40 million of its redeemable preferred
stock, including 828,333 Series A shares and 191,946
Series B shares at $39 per share. We expect to complete
the next scheduled purchase of 1,288,942 shares of our
redeemable preferred stock at $39 per share on April 1,

from $156 million in 1984. This reduction is primarily'
attributable to increased capitalization of interest as a
result of our.large capital expenditures program in 1985. v>
Our total interest costs of $162 million in 1985 were slightly lower than the'198,4level of $167 million.

Georgia-Pacific's consolidated net Sales were $6.7 billion iri::1984,; an increase of.11 percent over. 1983 net sales of $6.0 billion. Income from continuing operations increased to $253 million in 1984 ($2,28 per share on a primary .- basis) from 1$75 millioriin 1983 (53 cents pershare). : : tAfterjeco^nitioh of a $134 milfion loss fifrm discontinued >. ^'peratiphs,.the Corporation reported net income of $119 <in^OT^inJi^84.^N<BrijrKk>TO^:0|C i.i05 milliph in 1983 , ,
included income from discontinued operations of $30 million. ;
- .-Included in the 1984 results of continuing operations was a $19'million pre-tax gain on the sale of the .... Geoigia-Pacific building in Portland, Oregon.

The remaining discussion refers' to the "Industry Segment Information" presented iri Note 5:
Sales in the building products segment increased 7,0 percent to $4.5 billion in 1984 from $4.1 billion in 1983. Operating profits increased also, to $379 million in 1984 from $354 million in 1983. The segment's performance benefited from strong housing construction in the first half

NOTE 9. RETIREMENT PLANS
Most of the Corporation's employees participate in non
contributory defined benefit pension plans. Contributions
to the plans for hourly employees are based upon either
the hourly rates set forth in various labor contracts or the
actuarially determined cost. The Corporation has a single

NOTE 10. INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes is based on pretax financial,
accounting income which differs fronijtaMble income.' v .
Differences generally arise because certain items, such as
depreciation and capitalized interest, arefreflebted in differ
ent time periods for financial accounting and tax purposes.
The Corporation uses the flow-through method of
accountingfor investment tax credits. Under the flow-
through'method, investment tax credits are recognized as
a reduction of income tax expense in the year the qualified
investment is made. -

It should also be pointed out that the adjustments required by the FASB represent an attempt to estimate what it would cost in terms of today's dollars to build cur rently existing facilities. Thus, the calculations do hot . reflect the economic benefit of new technology which would be realized by replacing the Corporation's existing plants with new facilities. Such replacement of the Corpo-
' radon's plants would result in increased productivity and certain other cost savings. The cost savings would be real ized primarily in the form of reduced.maripower.requirc-ments, lower maintenance costs and reduced costs for energy. Such savings would also reduce thej adverse effects ,of inflation,
