Parts I, II, and IV Proxy Statement dated March 25, 2002 (to be filed on or about March 25, 2002) Part III ================================================================================ PART I Item 1. Business General International Paper Company (the Company or International Paper, which may be referred to as we or us), is a global forest products, paper and packaging company that is complemented by an extensive distribution system, with primary markets and manufacturing operations in the United States, Canada, Europe, the Pacific Rim, and South America. Substantially all of our businesses have experienced, and are likely to continue to experience, cycles relating to available industry capacity and general economic conditions. We are a New York corporation and were incorporated in 1941 as the successor to the New York corporation of the same name organized in 1898. Our home page on the Internet is www.internationalpaper.com. You can learn more about us by visiting that site. In the United States at December 31, 2001, the Company operated 33 pulp, paper and packaging mills, 90 converting and packaging plants, 35 wood products facilities, seven specialty panels and laminated products plants and eight specialty chemicals plants. Production facilities at December 31, 2001 in Europe, Asia, South America and Canada included 12 pulp, paper and packaging mills, 45 converting and packaging plants, 10 wood products facilities, three specialty panels and laminated products plants and seven specialty chemicals plants. We distribute printing, packaging, graphic arts, maintenance and industrial products through over 289 distribution branches located primarily in the United States. At December 31, 2001, the Company and its subsidiaries controlled about 10.4 million acres of forestlands in the United States, 1.5 million acres in Brazil and had, through licenses and forest management agreements, harvesting rights on government-owned timberlands in Canada and Russia. Through Carter Holt Harvey, a New Zealand company which is approximately 50.4% owned by International Paper, the Company operates five mills producing pulp, paper, packaging and tissue products, 24 converting and packaging plants and 63 wood products manufacturing and distribution facilities, primarily in New Zealand and Australia. Carter Holt Harvey distributes paper and packaging products through six distribution branches located in New Zealand and Australia. In New Zealand, Carter Holt Harvey owns approximately 810,000 acres of forestlands. For financial reporting purposes, our businesses are separated into six segments: Printing Papers; Industrial and Consumer Packaging; Distribution; Forest Products; Carter Holt Harvey; and Other Businesses. A description of these business segments can be found on pages 19 through 21 of our 2001 Annual Report to Shareholders (Annual Report), which information is incorporated herein by reference. From 1996 through 2001, International Paper's capital expenditures approximated $8.1 billion, excluding expenditures for mergers and acquisitions. These capital expenditures reflect our continuing efforts to improve product quality and environmental performance, lower costs, and improve forestlands. Capital spending in 2001 was $1.0 billion and is budgeted to be approximately $1.0 billion in 2002. This amount is below our annual depreciation and amortization expense of $1.9 billion. You can find more information about capital expenditures on page 25 of our Annual Report, which information is incorporated herein by reference. Discussions of mergers and acquisitions can be found on pages 26 and 48 of the Annual Report, which information is incorporated herein by reference. You can find discussions of restructuring charges, divestitures and other special items on pages 26, 27, 29 through 32 and 48 through 59 of the Annual Report, which information is incorporated herein by reference. Throughout this 10-K report, we 'incorporate by reference' certain information in parts of other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The SEC permits us to disclose important information by referring to it in that manner. Please refer to such information. 2 Financial Information Concerning Industry Segments The financial information concerning segments is set forth on pages 38 and 39 of the Annual Report, which information is incorporated herein by reference. Financial Information About International and Domestic Operations The financial information concerning international and domestic operations and export sales is set forth on page 39 of the Annual Report, which information is incorporated herein by reference. Competition and Costs Despite the size of the Company's manufacturing capacities for paper, paperboard, packaging and pulp products, the markets in all of the cited product lines are large and highly fragmented. The markets for wood and specialty products are similarly large and fragmented. There are numerous competitors, and the major markets, both domestic and international, in which the Company sells its principal products are very competitive. These products are in competition with similar products produced by others, and in some instances, with products produced by other industries from other materials. Many factors influence the Company's competitive position, including prices, costs, product quality and services. You can find more information about the impact of prices and costs on operating profits on pages 18 through 25 of the Annual Report, which information is incorporated herein by reference. Marketing and Distribution The Company sells paper and packaging products through our own sales organization directly to users or converters for manufacture. Sales offices are located throughout the United States as well as internationally. We also sell significant volumes of products through paper merchants and distributors, including facilities in our distribution network. We market our U.S. production of lumber and plywood through independent and Company-owned distribution centers. Specialty products are marketed through various channels of distribution. Description of Principal Products The Company's principal products are described on pages 19 through 21 of the Annual Report, which information is incorporated herein by reference. 3 Sales volumes of major products for 2001, 2000 and 1999 were as follows: Sales By Volume (1) (2) (3) (Unaudited) 2001 2000 1999 ----- ----- ----- Printing papers (In thousands of tons) Uncoated Papers and Bristols............... 6,439 5,957 5,342 Coated papers.............................. 2,132 2,062 1,263 Market Pulp(4)............................. 2,531 1,996 1,503 Packaging Containerboard............................. 2,091 2,347 2,874 Bleached Packaging Board................... 1,247 1,339 1,460 Kraft...................................... 587 489 423 Industrial and Consumer Packaging.......... 4,683 5,135 5,064 Forest Products (In millions) Panels..................................... 2,991 2,380 1,910 Lumber (board feet)........................ 4,089 3,302 2,759 MDF and Particleboard (sq. ft. 3/4"--basis) 660 654 385 -------- (1) Includes third party and inter-segment sales.

Activities include studies on improved forest species and management; innovation and improvement of pulping, bleaching, chemical recovery, papermaking and coating processes; packaging design and materials development; reduction of environmental discharges; re-use of raw materials in manufacturing processes; recycling of consumer and packaging paper products; energy conservation; applications of computer controls to manufacturing operations; innovations and improvement of products; and development of various new products. Our development efforts specifically address product safety as well as the minimization of solid waste. The cost to the Company of its research and development operations in 2001 was $92 million; $92 million in 2000, including Champion for the period of July-December; and $88 million in 1999. Environmental Protection Information concerning the effects of the Company's compliance with Federal, State and local provisions enacted or adopted relating to environmental protection matters is set forth on pages 33 through 35 of the Annual Report, which information is incorporated herein by reference. Employees As of December 31, 2001, the Company had approximately 100,000 employees, 63,000 of whom were located in the United States. Of the domestic employees, approximately 35,000 are hourly employees, 21,000 of whom are represented by the Paper, Allied-Industrial, Chemical and Energy International Union. 4 During 2001, labor agreements were ratified at four mills. During 2002 labor agreements are scheduled to be negotiated at six mills: Texarkana; Ticonderoga; Savannah; Courtland; Augusta and Pineville. During 2001, 19 labor agreements were settled in non-papermill operations. Settlements included 12 in paper converting, three in building materials, two in distribution, one in chemicals and one office workers unit. During 2002, 25 non-papermill operations will negotiate new labor agreements. In 2001, effects of sale, closure or downsizing agreements were bargained with unions at 18 locations including six papermills, four building materials plants, five paper converting operations, two distribution sites and one forest resources operation. Approximately 5,600 of our U.S. based hourly employees are subject to labor agreements that are scheduled to be negotiated during 2002. Raw Materials For information on the sources and availability of raw materials essential to our business, see Item 2. Properties. Forward-looking Statements Certain statements in this report and in our 2001 Annual Report to Shareholders, and in particular, statements found in Management's Discussion and Analysis, that are not historical in nature may constitute forward-looking statements. These statements are often identified by the words, "believe," "expect," "plan," "appear," "project," "estimate," "intend," and words of similar import. Such statements reflect the current views of International Paper with respect to future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in these statements. Factors which could cause actual results to differ include, among other things, the timing and magnitude of the expected economic recovery, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar, fluctuations in interests rates, changes in overall demand, whether our initiatives relating to balancing our supply with customer demand will be successful, changes in domestic or foreign competition, changes in the cost or availability of raw materials, the cost of compliance with environmental laws and regulations, and whether anticipated savings from restructuring activities and facility rationalizations can be achieved. In view of such uncertainties, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. International Paper does not assume any obligation to update these forward-looking statements. Item 2. Properties Forestlands The principal raw material used by International Paper is wood in various forms. As of December 31, 2001, the Company or its subsidiaries controlled approximately 10.4 million acres of forestlands in the United States, 1.5 million acres in Brazil and had, through licenses and forest management agreements, harvesting rights on government-owned timberlands in Canada. An additional 810,000 acres of forestlands in New Zealand were held through Carter Holt Harvey, a consolidated subsidiary of the Company. During 2001, the U.S. forestlands supplied 18 million tons of roundwood to the Company's U.S. facilities. This amounted to the following percentages of the roundwood requirements of its U.S. mills and forest products facilities: 19% in its Northern mills and 41% in its Southern mills. The balance was acquired from other private industrial and nonindustrial forestland owners, with only an insignificant amount coming from public lands of the United States government. In addition, in 2001, 10 million tons of wood were sold to other users. In November 1994, we adopted the Sustainable Forestry Principles developed by the American Forest and Paper Association in August 1994. 5 Mills and Plants A listing of our production facilities, the vast majority of which we own, can be found in Appendix I hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference. The Company's facilities are in good operating condition and are suited for the purposes for which they are presently being used. We continue to study the economics of modernization or adopting other alternatives for higher cost facilities. Capital Investments and Dispositions Given the size, scope and complexity of our business interests, we continuously examine and evaluate a wide variety of business opportunities and planning alternatives, including possible acquisitions and sales or other dispositions of properties. You can find planned capital investments for 2002, dispositions, and restructuring activities as of December 31, 2001 on pages 19, 25 through 32 and 48 through 59 of the Annual Report, which information is incorporated herein by reference.
