PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
General Development of Business
Owens-Illinois, Inc. (the "Company"), through its subsidiaries, is the
successor to a business established in 1903. The Company is one of the
world's leading manufacturers of packaging products. Approximately one of
every two glass containers made worldwide is made by the Company, its
affiliates or licensees. In addition to being the largest manufacturer of
glass containers in the United States, North America, South America,
Australia, New Zealand, and China, and one of the largest in Europe, the
Company is a leading manufacturer in the United States of plastic containers,
plastic closures, plastic prescription containers, labels, and multipack
plastic carriers for beverage bottles. The Company also has plastics
packaging operations in Latin America, Australia, Europe, and Asia. Since
1993, through acquisitions and investments strategic to its core businesses,
the Company has expanded and furthered its market leadership position in the
geographic areas in which it competes. During the years 1995 through 1999,
the Company has invested more than $2.0 billion in capital expenditures
(excluding acquisition expenditures) and more than $300 million in research,
development and engineering to, among other things, increase capacity in key
locations, commercialize its technology into new products, and improve
productivity.
In connection with the 1998 acquisition of the worldwide glass and plastics
packaging businesses of BTR plc, the Company committed to sell BTR's United
Kingdom glass container manufacturer ("Rockware"). In early 1999, the Company
completed the sale of Rockware to a subsidiary of Ardagh plc, an Irish glass
container manufacturer based in Dublin, Ireland, for total consideration of
249 million pounds sterling (approximately $405 million). Proceeds from the
sale of Rockware were used for the reduction of debt and for general corporate
purposes.
In May 1999, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the management of the
Company to repurchase up to 10 million shares of the Company's common stock.
The Company repurchased 10 million shares for $225.6 million under this
authorization during 1999. In February 2000, the Company's Board of Directors
authorized the repurchase of up to an additional 10 million shares of the
Company's common stock. The Company intends to purchase its common stock from
time to time on the open market depending on market conditions and other
factors.
Since 1991, the Company has acquired 17 glass container businesses in 17
countries, including businesses in Central and Eastern Europe and in the Asia
Pacific region, and six plastics packaging businesses with operations in 11
countries. These acquisitions are consistent with the Company's strategy to
maintain leadership in glass and plastics packaging and to pursue revenue and
earnings growth opportunities around the world.

segment is included on pages 73 - 74.
Narrative Description of Business
The Company has two product segments: (1) Glass Containers and (2) Plastics
Packaging. Below is a description of these segments and information to the
extent material to understanding the Company's business taken as a whole.
Products and Services, Customers, Markets and Competitive Conditions, and
Methods of Distribution
GLASS CONTAINERS PRODUCT SEGMENT
The Company is a leading manufacturer of glass containers throughout the
world. In addition to being the largest maker of glass containers in the
United States, North America, South America, Australia, New Zealand, and
China, the Company also is a leading manufacturer of glass packaging in
Europe. Worldwide glass container sales represented 66%, 68%, and 71% of the
Company's consolidated net sales for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998,
and 1997, respectively. The Company believes that its internally developed
machines are significantly more efficient and productive than those used by
its competitors, making it the low-cost manufacturer and a recognized
technological leader in the industry.
The Company currently has technical assistance agreements with 23 different
companies in 25 countries. These agreements, which cover areas ranging from
manufacturing and engineering assistance to support in functions such as
marketing, sales, and administration, allow the Company to participate in the
worldwide growth of the glass container industry. The Company believes these
associations and its technical expertise will afford it opportunities to
participate in the glass business in regions of the world where the Company
does not have a presence, and expand in regions where the Company currently
has operations.
Products and Services
- ---------------------
Glass containers are produced in a wide range of sizes, shapes and colors for
beer, food, tea, juice, soft drinks, liquor, wine, wine coolers and
pharmaceuticals. The Company has been a leader in product innovation,
introducing products including long neck nonreturnable beer bottles, and in
developing containers for teas, juices, food, soft drinks and wine coolers.
2
<PAGE>
The Company's product development efforts in glass containers are aimed at
providing custom designed packaging systems to customers and consumers.
Product lines designed to complement glass containers include product
extensions related to single service packages for teas, juices and soft drinks
and innovative secondary packaging systems such as closures, carriers and
labeled containers.
Customers
- ---------
Beer, food (which includes juice and teas), liquor (i.e. distilled spirits)
and wine producers comprise the majority of industry demand for U.S. glass
containers. In addition to the just previously mentioned producers,
international glass container customers include soft drink bottlers. In the
regions where the Company has operations, it has leading positions within
these industries. The Company believes its position gives it the ability to
sustain market share and take advantage of new opportunities and areas of
growth for all customers within these industries.
Most glass production is sold to customers under arrangements with terms
varying from several months to several years which specify estimated
quantities to be shipped as a percentage of the customers' total annual
shipment requirements. Containers are typically scheduled for production in
response to customers' orders for their quarterly requirements.
Markets and Competitive Conditions
- ----------------------------------
The Company has glass container operations located in 19 countries. The
principal markets for the Company's glass products are in the United States,
Europe, Australia, and Latin America. The Company has the leading market
share of the glass segment of United States beer and food (including juice
and teas) packaging. Excluding E & J Gallo Winery Inc., which manufactures
its own containers, the Company believes it is a leading supplier of glass for
wine and wine coolers. Internationally, the Company is the leading producer
of glass containers in most of the geographic markets in which it is located.
The Company's glass products compete on the basis of quality, service and
price with other forms of rigid packaging, principally aluminum and steel cans
and plastic bottles, as well as glass and plastic containers produced by other
large, well-established manufacturers. The principal competitors producing
glass containers within the U.S. market are Ball-Foster Glass Container Co.,
L.L.C., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Paris-based Saint-Gobain ("Ball-Foster"),
and Anchor Glass Container Corporation, the assets of which are owned by
Canadian-based Consumers Packaging, Inc. The principal competitor producing
glass containers outside the U.S. market is Saint-Gobain. The principal
competitors producing metal containers are American National Can Group, Inc.,
Ball Corporation, Crown Cork & Seal Company, Inc., and Silgan Holdings Inc..
In the metal container market, no one competitor is dominant. The principal
competitors supplying plastic containers are Consolidated Container Company
3
<PAGE>
LLC, (a subsidiary of Consolidated Container Holdings formed to own all of the
plastics packaging assets of Reid Plastics and substantially all of the U.S.
plastic packaging assets of Suiza Foods, which consist of Franklin Plastics
and Plastic Containers), Graham Packaging Co., Plastipak Packaging, Inc., and
Silgan Corporation. In the plastic containers market, no one competitor is
dominant.
Methods of Distribution
- -----------------------
Due to the significance of transportation costs and the importance of timely
delivery, manufacturing facilities are located close to customers. Most of
the Company's glass container products are shipped by common carrier to
customers within a 250-mile radius of a given production site. In addition to
glass container manufacturing facilities, the Company operates several raw
materials plants and machine and mold shops which manufacture high-
productivity glass-making machines and equipment.
Domestic Glass Operations
- -------------------------
The Company has an approximate 45% share of the glass container category of
the U.S. rigid packaging market. Domestically, the Company operates 21 glass
container manufacturing facilities, a sand plant and two machine shops which
manufacture high-productivity glass-making machines and equipment. Marketing
under the trade name Owens-Brockway, the Company believes that its 1999 U.S.
glass container sales were significantly higher than the sales of its nearest
U.S. glass container competitor, Ball-Foster.
Unit shipments in the U.S. to brewers and food producers, including producers
of juice and teas, approximated 90% of the Company's total U.S. glass
container unit shipments for 1999, 1998 and 1997.
During 1999, total glass container industry shipments within the United States
rigid packaging market were slightly above 1998 shipment levels. Shipments
increased in 1999 as a result of higher demand for beer containers, partially
offset by decreased shipments of food containers. The Company's share of the
United States glass container market increased slightly during this time.
Overall, the Company expects glass containers' share of the United States
rigid packaging market to remain relatively stable compared to 1999 levels and
that the Company will maintain its share of the glass container segment due in
part to the Company's ongoing improvement in operating efficiencies and its
technological leadership.
The glass container industry in the United States continues to recycle used
glass containers into new glass containers. The Company is an important part
of this effort and continues to melt substantial tonnage of recycled glass in
its glass furnaces. The infrastructure for recycling glass also supplies
recycled glass containers to producers other than those in the glass container
industry for use in the manufacture of secondary products (i.e. fiberglass and
roadway material manufacturers). Glass recycling helps relieve the burden on
the nation's landfills, while significantly reducing the need for virgin
materials. Recycling also results in energy savings and reductions in air
emissions. The Company has no technological barriers to using all of the
4
<PAGE>
recycled glass it can reasonably expect to obtain from public/private
collection programs as long as such glass meets incoming material quality
standards.
International Glass Operations
- ------------------------------
The Company has added to its international operations by acquiring glass
container companies with leading positions in growing or established markets,
increasing capacity at selected foreign affiliates, and maintaining the global
network of glass container companies that license the Company's technology.
The Company has significant ownership positions in 24 companies located in 18
foreign countries and Puerto Rico. Most of the Company's international glass
affiliates are the leading container manufacturers in their respective
countries, producing a full line of containers for the soft drink, beer, wine,
liquor, food, drug and chemical industries. Some of these companies also
produce molds, mold parts, sand and feldspar, limestone, machines and machine
parts, glass insulators, rolled glass, sheet glass and glass tableware. The
Company's principal international glass affiliates are located in Europe,
Australia, and Latin America.
Although unusually severe economic and market conditions in Latin America and
Europe have adversely affected the Company's 1999 and 1998 operating results,
unit shipments of glass containers in countries outside of the United States
have grown substantially from levels of the early 1990's. In many regions,
international glass operations have benefited from increased consumer spending
power, increased privatization of industry, a favorable climate for foreign
investment, lowering of trade barriers, and global expansion programs by major
customers. In many developing countries glass has a significant cost advantage
over plastic and metal containers. Technologies which have produced
productivity improvements in the Company's United States Glass Container
operations are also being applied to the operations of foreign affiliates.
The Company is continuing to pursue additional strategic alliances with
international partners whose markets are growing and whose manufacturing
operations can be enhanced by the Company's state-of-the-art technology and
equipment, which enables such operations to improve quality, increase
productivity, reduce bottle weights, and decrease energy consumption.
Revenues generated in countries where the Company does not have a direct
ownership position may also provide a benefit to the Company in the form of
royalties tied to sales volume of the Company's licensees.

PLASTICS PACKAGING PRODUCT SEGMENT
The Company is a leading plastic container manufacturer in the United States,
with operations also located in Latin America, Australia, Europe, and Asia.
The Company is the market leader in most plastic segments in which it
competes. Plastic container sales represented 20%, 18%, and 15% of the
Company's consolidated net sales for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998,
and 1997, respectively. The Company's Plastics Packaging segment is comprised
of three business units.
Plastic Containers. This unit, with 49 factories, manufactures rigid, semi-
rigid, flexible and multi-layer plastic containers for a wide variety of uses,
including household products, personal care products, health care products,
chemicals and automotive products and food. This unit includes the CPT
operations, which produces mono and multi-material PET containers for a number
of applications that require special processing to ensure heat resistance for
food and beverage containers that are filled at high temperatures, and to
enhance barrier protection in order to increase shelf life.
6
<PAGE>
Closure and Specialty Products. This unit, with 19 manufacturing facilities,
develops and produces closures and closure systems which incorporate
functional features such as tamper evidence, child resistance and dispensing.
In addition, this unit's diverse product line includes trigger sprayers,
finger pumps, and lotion pumps, as well as finger pumps for the fragrance and
cosmetic industry. In the United States, the Company has a sole license for
Alcoa's technology for compression molded, tamper evident, thermoplastic
closures. This unit also manufactures custom injection molded products, such
as deodorant canisters and toothpaste dispensers.
Prescription Products. The Company's Prescription Products unit manufactures
prescription containers. These products are sold primarily to drug
wholesalers, major drug chains and the government. Containers for
prescriptions include plastic and glass ovals, vials, rounds, squares and
ointment jars. The only other major producer in the plastic containers
segment of prescription drug packaging is Kerr Group, Inc.
Markets. Major markets for these units include the household products,
personal care products, health care products, and food and beverage
industries.
The plastic segment of the rigid packaging market is competitive and
fragmented due to generally available technology, low costs of entry and
customer emphasis on low package cost. A large number of competitors exists
on both a national and regional basis. The Company competes by emphasizing
total package supply (i.e. bottle, closure system, and label), diversified
market positions, proprietary technology and products, new package
development, and packaging innovation. The market for closures is divided
into various categories in which several suppliers compete for business on the
basis of price and product design.
The Company's strategy has been to compete in the segments of the plastic
packaging market where customers seek to use distinctive packaging to
differentiate their products among a growing array of choices offered to
consumers. The Company believes it is a leader in technology and development
of custom products and has a leading market position for such products. The
Company believes its plastic container and closure businesses have a
competitive advantage as a result of one of the shortest new product
development cycles in the industry, enabling the Company to provide superior
service in the service-sensitive custom plastic container market. The
Company's product innovations in plastic containers and closures include in-
mold labeling for custom molded bottles, multilayer structured bottles
containing post consumer recycled resin, Flex-Band and PlasTop tamper-
evident closures, Clic Loc child-resistant closures, and 1-Clic vial system
which can be used in either child-resistant or non-child-resistant modes.
Recycling content legislation, which has been enacted in several states,
requires that a certain specified minimum percentage of recycled plastic be
included in new plastic containers. The Company has met such legislated
standards in part due to its material and multilayer process technology.
7
<PAGE>
The Company's Plastics Packaging segment currently has technical assistance
agreements or cross-licenses with 38 companies in 20 countries. These
agreements, which cover areas ranging from manufacturing and engineering
assistance to support in functions such as marketing, sales, and
administration, allow the Company to participate in the worldwide growth of
the plastic packaging industry.
OTHER PRODUCTS
Label and Carrier Products. The broad line of labels produced by this unit
includes polyethylene labels for in-mold labeling (IML) and laminated labels
for beverage containers. The proprietary Contour-Pak plastic carrier line
for bottles is also produced by this unit. This carrier line is predominantly
used as six-pack and four-pack carriers for iced teas and other fruit drinks.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
New Products
New products and numerous refinements of existing products are developed and
introduced in each segment every year. No single new product or refinement,
or group of new products and refinements, have been recently introduced or are
scheduled for introduction which required the investment of a material amount
of the Company's assets or which otherwise would be considered material.
Sources and Availability of Raw Materials
All of the raw materials the Company uses have historically been available in
adequate supply from multiple sources. However, for certain raw materials,
there may be temporary shortages due to weather or other factors, including
disruptions in supply caused by raw material transportation or production
delays; such shortages are not expected to have a material effect on the
Company's operations.
Patents and Licenses
The Company has a large number of patents which relate to a wide variety of
products and processes, has pending a substantial number of patent
applications, and is licensed under several patents of others. While in the
aggregate its patents are of material importance to its business, the Company
does not consider that any patent or group of patents relating to a particular
product or process is of material importance when judged from the standpoint
of any segment or its business as a whole.
Seasonality
Sales of particular products of the Glass Containers and Plastics Group
business segments such as beer and certain food containers are seasonal.
Shipments in the United States and Europe are typically greater in the second
and third quarters of the year, while shipments in Latin America and the Asia
8
<PAGE>
Pacific region are typically greater in the first and fourth quarters of the
year.
Working Capital
In general, the working capital practices followed by the Company are typical
of the businesses in which it operates. During the first and second quarters
of the year the accumulation of inventories of certain products in advance of
expected shipments reflects the seasonal nature of those businesses and may
require periodic borrowings.
Customers
Major customers exist for each of the Company's industry segments, and in each
industry segment the loss of a few of these customers might have a material
adverse effect on the segment. Major customers of the Company include such
companies as Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc., Philip Morris Companies Inc., The
Quaker Oats Company, The Procter & Gamble Company, Unilever, N.V. and other
leading companies which manufacture and market a variety of consumer products.
Research and Development
Research and development constitutes an important part of the Company's
activities. Research and development expenditures were $37.5 million, $36.4
million, and $28.9 million for 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively. Operating
engineering expenditures were $42.2 million, $34.8 million, and $29.9 million
for 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively. In addition to new product
development, substantial portions of the technical effort are devoted to
increased process control, automatic inspection, and automation. No material
amount of money was spent on customer-sponsored research activities during
1999, 1998, or 1997.
Environment
The Company's operations, in common with those of the industry generally, are
subject to numerous existing and proposed laws and governmental regulations
designed to protect the environment, particularly regarding plant wastes and
emissions and solid waste disposal. Capital expenditures for property, plant,
and equipment for environmental control activities were not material during
1999.
A number of states have enacted, or are considering, legislation to promote
curbside recycling and recycled content legislation as alternatives to
mandatory deposit laws. Although such legislation is not uniformly developed,
the Company believes that states will continue to enact and develop curbside
recycling and recycling content legislation.
Sales of non-refillable glass beverage bottles and other convenience packages
are affected by mandatory deposit laws and other types of restrictive
legislation. As of January 1, 2000, there are nine states with mandatory
deposit laws in effect.
9
<PAGE>
Plastic containers have also been the subject of legislation in various
states. The Company utilizes recycled plastic resin in its manufacturing
processes. During 1999 and 1998, many plastic containers for products other
than food, drugs, and cosmetics contained 25% post consumer resin. The
Company believes it is an industry leader in such technology.
Although the Company is unable to predict what legislation or regulations may
be adopted in the future with respect to environmental protection and waste
disposal, compliance with existing legislation and regulations has not had,
and is not expected to have, a material adverse effect on its capital
expenditures, results of operations, or competitive position.
Number of Employees
The Company's operations employed approximately 36,600 persons at December 31,
1999. A majority of these employees are hourly workers covered by collective
bargaining agreements, the principal one of which was renewed early in 1999
for three years. The Company considers its employee relations to be good.
The Company has not had any material labor disputes in the last five years,
and does not anticipate any material work stoppages in the near term.
Financial Information about Foreign and Domestic Operations and Export Sales
Information as to net sales, EBIT, and assets of the Company's product and
geographic segments is included on pages 72 - 76. Export sales, in the
aggregate or by geographic area, were not material for the years 1999, 1998,
or 1997.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations
Comparison of 1999 with 1998
For the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company recorded earnings before
extraordinary items of $299.1 million compared to $122.1 million for 1998.
Net earnings of $298.3 million for 1999 and $108.0 million for 1998 reflect
$.8 million and $14.1 million, respectively, of extraordinary charges from the
early extinguishment of debt. Excluding the effects of unusual items for both
1999 and 1998 discussed in the table below, the Company's 1999 earnings before
extraordinary items of $289.5 million decreased $12.0 million, or 4.0%, from
1998 earnings before extraordinary items of $301.5 million.
The following table lists unusual items (in millions of dollars) recorded in
1999 and 1998, and their related effects on both EBIT and earnings before
extraordinary items. EBIT is defined as earnings before interest income,
interest expense, provision for income taxes, minority share owners' interest
in earnings of subsidiaries, and extraordinary charges.

- -------------------------------------------------- -----------------------
Before unusual items $875.2 $289.5 $870.5 $301.5
================================================== =======================
The year ended 1998 also includes charges which reduced earnings before
extraordinary items by $31.5 million. Such charges relate principally to
27
<PAGE>
write-offs of certain assets associated with business conditions in emerging
markets.
The years ended 1999 and 1998 include amounts relating to the April 30, 1998
acquisition of the worldwide glass and plastics packaging businesses of BTR
plc. Consolidated EBIT, excluding both the 1999 and 1998 unusual items, was
$875.2 million for 1999, an increase of $4.7 million, or 0.5%, compared to
$870.5 million for 1998. The increase is attributable to higher EBIT for the
Plastics Packaging segment, partially offset by lower EBIT in the Glass
Containers segment. Results of both segments are discussed further below.
Interest expense, net of interest income, increased $46.6 million in 1999 due
principally to the financings related to the acquisition of the BTR glass and
plastics packaging businesses. The $7.0 million decrease in minority share
owners' interests in earnings of subsidiaries resulted from lower net earnings
of certain foreign affiliates, principally the affiliate in Colombia.
Exclusive of unusual items, the Company's effective tax rate for 1999 was
36.9% compared to a rate of 37.3% for 1998.
Capsule segment results (in millions of dollars) for 1999 and 1998 are as
follows (a):
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net sales to unaffiliated customers 1999 1998

============================================================================
(a) See Segment Information included on pages 72 - 76.
(b) EBIT for 1999 includes: (1) gains totaling $40.8 million related to the
sales of a U.S. glass container plant and a mold manufacturing business
in Colombia, and (2) charges totaling $20.8 million related principally
to restructuring costs and write-offs of certain assets in Europe and
Latin America.
28
<PAGE>
(c) Segment EBIT in 1998 includes the following unusual items: (1) charges
of $72.6 million related principally to a plant closing in the United
Kingdom and restructuring costs at certain international affiliates; (2)
a loss of $5.7 million on the sale of a discontinued operation by an
equity investee; and (3) a gain of $18.5 million related to the
termination of a license agreement, net of charges for related equipment
write-offs and capacity adjustments, under which the Company had produced
plastic multipack carriers for beverage cans. These items increased
(decreased) segment EBIT as follows: Glass Containers -- $(78.3)
million; Other -- $18.5 million.
(d) Eliminations and other retained costs for 1998 include the following
unusual items: (1) a charge of $250.0 million related to adjustment of
the reserve for estimated future asbestos-related costs; and (2) net
charges of $0.9 million for the settlement of certain environmental
litigation and the reduction of previously established reserves for
guarantees of certain obligations of a previously divested business.
Consolidated net sales for 1999 increased $216.6 million, or 4.1%, over the
prior year. Net sales of the Glass Containers segment decreased $47.3
million, or 1.2%, from 1998. The combined U.S. dollar sales of the segment's
foreign affiliates were nearly equal to the prior year. Increased reported
sales from the Asia Pacific glass container businesses acquired from BTR on
April 30, 1998 (an increase of approximately $235 million from 1998 to 1999)
were offset by weak economic conditions in markets served by the Company's
operations in Latin America and Europe. The effect of changing foreign
currency exchange rates reduced 1999 U.S. dollar sales of the segment's
foreign affiliates by approximately $165 million. In the United States,
increased unit shipments of glass containers for the beer industry partially
offset the year to year comparative effects of the April 1, 1999 sale of a
specialized glass manufacturing facility and lower shipments of food
containers. Net sales of the Plastics Packaging segment increased $272.2
million, or 19.2%, over 1998, reflecting the plastics businesses acquired on
April 30, 1998 from BTR (an increase of approximately $200 million from 1998
to 1999), and increased unit shipments from all business units.
Segment EBIT for 1999, excluding the 1999 and 1998 unusual items, increased
$.7 million to $869.3 million, or 15.7% of net sales, from 1998 segment EBIT
of $868.6 million, or 16.4% of net sales. Consolidated operating expense
(consisting of selling and administrative, engineering, and research and
development expenses) as a percentage of net sales was 6.8% in 1999 compared
to 6.5% in 1998. EBIT of the Glass Containers segment, excluding the 1999 and
1998 unusual items, decreased $43.6 million to $582.4 million, compared to
$626.0 million in 1998. EBIT of the Asia Pacific glass container businesses
acquired from BTR on April 30, 1998 increased approximately $40 million from
the eight months of 1998 to the full year of 1999. The contributions of the
acquired businesses and gains on sales of non-strategic assets in Europe were
more than offset by soft market conditions for most of the affiliates located
in Europe and Latin America. The effect of changing foreign currency exchange
rates reduced 1999 U.S. dollar EBIT, before unusual items, of the segment's
foreign affiliates by approximately $15 million in comparison to 1998. In the
United States, Glass Container EBIT increased from 1998 as a result of
29
<PAGE>
increased unit shipments of beer containers. The EBIT of the Plastics
Packaging segment increased $49.8 million, or 21.5%, compared to 1998.
Contributing to this increase were the plastics businesses acquired on April
30, 1998 from BTR (an increase of approximately $22 million from the eight
months of 1998 to the full year of 1999), increased shipments of containers
for health care and personal care products, food containers, closures and
trigger pumps, and strong demand for prescription packaging, including the new
1-Clic(TM) prescription vial. The Other segment EBIT in comparison to prior
year, excluding the 1998 unusual item, was adversely affected by the end of
the first quarter 1998 termination of a license agreement under which the
Company had produced plastic multipack carriers for beverage cans, and lower
shipments of labels.
Eliminations and other retained costs were $5.9 million for 1999, reflecting
higher net financial services income, compared to $1.9 million for 1998,
excluding the 1998 unusual items.
The 1999 results include the following unusual items: (1) gains totaling $40.8
million ($23.6 million after tax and minority share owners' interests) related
to the sales of a U.S. glass container plant and a mold manufacturing business
in Colombia; and (2) charges totaling $20.8 million ($14.0 million after tax
and minority share owners' interests) related principally to restructuring
costs and write-offs of certain assets in Europe and Latin America.
In 1998, the Company recorded pretax charges of $72.6 million ($47.4 million
after tax and minority share owners' interests). Included in these charges
are employee severance costs at certain international affiliates and write-
downs of assets which will no longer be used, including the closure of a plant
in the United Kingdom. The actions associated with these charges were
substantially completed in the first half of 1999. Cash expenditures
associated with these charges, principally for severance, were approximately
$50 million.
The 1998 results also include fourth quarter non-cash charges of $42.0 million
($31.5 million after tax and minority share owners' interests) principally for
write-offs of certain assets associated with business conditions in emerging
markets.
Comparison of 1998 with 1997
For the year ended December 31, 1998, the Company recorded earnings before
extraordinary items of $122.1 million compared to $272.4 million for 1997.
Excluding the effects of unusual items for both 1998 and 1997 discussed below,
the Company's 1998 earnings before extraordinary items of $301.5 million
increased $36.7 million, or 13.9%, over 1997 earnings before extraordinary
items of $264.8 million.
The 1998 results include the unusual items discussed on page 27. The 1997
results include the following unusual items: (1) a gain of $16.3 million
($16.3 million aftertax) on the sale of the Company's remaining 49% interest
in Kimble Glass; and (2) charges of $14.1 million ($8.7 million afertax)
30
<PAGE>
principally for the estimated cost of guaranteed lease obligations of a
previously divested business.
Consolidated EBIT for 1998, excluding the effects of unusual items, was $870.5
million, an increase of $141.3 million, or 19.4%, compared to the same period
in 1997. The increase is attributable to higher EBIT for both the Glass
Containers segment and the Plastics Packaging segment as discussed further
below. Interest expense, net of interest income, increased $71.7 million from
the 1997 period due principally to the financings related to the acquisition
of the BTR glass and plastics packaging businesses. The increase in interest
expense resulting from the acquisition was partially offset by lower borrowing
costs resulting from the 1997 refinancing of higher cost debt, which began in
May 1997. The $11.2 million decrease in minority share owners' interests in
earnings of subsidiaries resulted from lower net earnings of certain foreign
affiliates, principally the affiliate in Colombia. The Company's effective
tax rate for 1998, excluding the effects of the unusual items previously
discussed, was 37.3%. This compares with 34.1% for the full year 1997,
excluding the effect of the gain on the 1997 sale of the remaining 49%
interest in Kimble Glass. Increased goodwill amortization resulting from the
acquisition of the former BTR packaging businesses and operating losses
incurred at certain international affiliates for which no related tax benefit
was recorded were the primary reasons for the increase. Net earnings of
$108.0 million and $167.9 million for 1998 and 1997, respectively, reflect
$14.1 million and $104.5 million, respectively, of extraordinary charges from
the early extinguishment of debt.

<PAGE>
(b) Segment EBIT in 1998 includes the following unusual items: (1) charges
of $72.6 million related principally to a plant closing in the United
Kingdom and restructuring costs at certain international affiliates; (2)
a loss of $5.7 million on the sale of a discontinued operation by an
equity investee; and (3) a gain of $18.5 million related to the
termination of a license agreement, net of charges for related equipment
write-offs and capacity adjustments, under which the Company had produced
plastic multipack carriers for beverage cans. These items increased
(decreased) segment EBIT as follows: Glass Containers -- $(78.3)
million; Other -- $18.5 million.
(c) Eliminations and other retained costs for 1998 include the following
unusual items: (1) a charge of $250.0 million related to adjustment of
the reserve for estimated future asbestos-related costs; and (2) net
charges of $0.9 million for the settlement of certain environmental
litigation and the reduction of previously established reserves for
guarantees of certain obligations of a previously divested business.
Eliminations and other retained costs for 1997 include the following
unusual items: (1) a gain of $16.3 million on the sale of the remaining
49% interest in Kimble Glass; and (2) charges of $14.1 million
principally for guarantees of certain lease obligations of a previously
divested business.
Consolidated net sales for 1998 increased $647.8 million, or 13.9%, over the
prior year. Net sales of the Glass Containers segment increased $281.5
million, or 8.0%, from 1997. The combined U.S. dollar sales of the segment's
foreign affiliates increased over the prior year, reflecting the Asia Pacific
glass container businesses acquired from BTR on April 30, 1998 (which
contributed approximately $362 million to 1998 U.S. dollar sales), the
February 1997 acquisition of AVIR S.p.A., the largest manufacturer of glass
containers in Italy, and increased unit shipments in Poland and Venezuela, all
of which were partially offset by soft market conditions in Brazil, Colombia,
and the United Kingdom. The effect of changing foreign currency exchange
rates reduced 1998 U.S. dollar sales of the segment's foreign affiliates by
approximately $100 million in comparison to 1997. In the United States, glass
container unit volume nearly equaled the prior year, reflecting increased
shipments of containers for the beer, tea and juice, and liquor and wine
industries, offset by lower shipments of certain food containers. Net sales
of the Plastics Packaging segment increased $384.7 million, or 37.4%, over
1997, reflecting the plastics businesses acquired from BTR (which contributed
approximately $372 million to 1998 U.S. dollar sales), and increased unit
shipments of closures along with plastic containers for health care and
household end uses, partially offset by the effects of lower resin costs on
pass-through arrangements with customers. The Other segment net sales
comparison to prior year was adversely affected by the first quarter 1998
termination of a license agreement under which the Company had produced
plastic multipack carriers for beverage cans.
Segment EBIT for 1998, excluding unusual items, increased $136.5 million to
$868.6 million, or 16.4% of net sales, from 1997 segment EBIT of $732.1
million, or 15.7% of net sales. Consolidated operating expense as a
32
<PAGE>
percentage of net sales was 6.5% in 1998 compared to 6.3% in 1997. EBIT of
the Glass Containers segment, excluding the 1998 unusual items, increased
$82.8 million to $626.0 million, compared to $543.2 million in 1997. The Asia
Pacific glass container businesses acquired from BTR on April 30, 1998
contributed approximately $91 million to 1998 U.S. dollar EBIT. Improved
results at the segment's affiliate in Italy was more than offset by soft
market conditions in the United Kingdom, Hungary, and most of the affiliates
located in Latin America. The effect of changing foreign currency exchange
rates reduced 1998 U.S. dollar EBIT, before unusual items, of the segment's
foreign affiliates by approximately $15 million in comparison to 1997. In the
United States, EBIT increased from 1997 as a result of an improved cost struc-
ture. The EBIT of the Plastics Packaging segment increased $58.2 million, or
33.5%, compared to 1997. The plastics businesses acquired from BTR contrib-
uted approximately $55 million to 1998 EBIT. The Other segment EBIT,
excluding the 1998 unusual items, was lower due to lower shipments of labels
and carriers, including plastic multipack carriers for beverage cans.
Eliminations and other retained costs, excluding both 1998 and 1997 unusual
items, were $1.9 million of income for 1998 compared to $2.9 million of
expense for 1997, reflecting higher net financial services income, offset by
the nonrecurrence of a reported gain on an asset sale in 1997.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
The Company's total debt at December 31, 1999 was $5.94 billion, compared to
$5.92 billion at December 31, 1998.
At December 31, 1999, the Company had available credit totaling $4.5 billion
under its agreement with a group of banks ("Bank Credit Agreement") expiring
in December 2001, of which $565.3 million had not been utilized. At December
31, 1998, the Company had $731.0 million of credit which had not been utilized
under the Bank Credit Agreement. The increased utilization resulted in large
part from borrowings incurred in connection with the 1999 repurchase of 10
million shares of the Company's common stock for $225.6 million. Cash provided
by operating activities was $563.0 million for 1999 compared to $647.3 million
for 1998.
The Company anticipates that cash flow from its operations and from
utilization of credit available through December 2001 under the Bank Credit
Agreement will be sufficient to fund its operating and seasonal working
capital needs, debt service and other obligations. The Company faces
additional demands upon its liquidity for asbestos-related payments. Based on
the Company's expectations regarding future payments for lawsuits and claims
and its expectation of the collection of its insurance coverage and
reimbursement for such lawsuits and claims, and also based on the Company's
expected operating cash flow, the Company believes that the payment of any
deferred amounts of previously settled or otherwise determined lawsuits and
claims, and the resolution of presently pending and anticipated future
lawsuits and claims associated with asbestos, will not have a material adverse
effect upon the Company's liquidity on a short-term or long-term basis.
33
<PAGE>
In May 1999, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the management of the
Company to repurchase up to 10 million shares of the Company's common stock.
The Company repurchased 10 million shares for $225.6 million under this
authorization during 1999. In February 2000, the Board of Directors authorized
the repurchase of up to an additional 10 million shares of the Company's
common stock. The Company intends to purchase its common stock from time to
time on the open market depending on market conditions and other factors. The
Company believes that cash flows from its operations and from utilization of
credit available under the Bank Credit Agreement will be sufficient to fund
such purchases in addition to the obligations mentioned in the previous
paragraph.
Excess of Purchase Cost over Net Assets Acquired
The excess of purchase cost over net assets acquired, net of accumulated
amortization ("goodwill") was $3.29 billion and $3.31 billion at December 31,
1999 and 1998, respectively. This represents 31% and 30% of total assets, and
140% and 134% of share owners' equity at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respec-
tively. Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price and related costs
over the fair values assigned to the net tangible and identifiable intangible
assets of businesses acquired, and is amortized over 40 years. In assigning a
benefit period to goodwill, the Company considers regulatory provisions, the
technological environment in which the acquired company operates, including
barriers to new competing entities, the maturity of the products manufactured
by the businesses acquired, and the effects of obsolescence, demand,
competition and other economic factors. The Company has determined that no
events or circumstances occurred in 1999 to warrant revised estimates of the
goodwill benefit period.
Impact of Year 2000
As a result of planning and implementation efforts, the Company experienced no
significant disruptions in mission critical information technology and non-
information technology systems due to the Year 2000 date change. The Company
is not aware of any material problems resulting from Year 2000 issues, either
with its products, its internal systems, or the products and services of third
parties. The majority of the costs incurred for Year 2000 modifications were
for the purchase of new software and operating equipment, and were, therefore,
capitalized. The Company will continue to monitor its mission critical
computer applications and those of its suppliers and vendors throughout the
year 2000 to ensure that any latent Year 2000 matters that may arise are
addressed promptly.
Introduction of Euro Currency
On January 1, 1999, the Euro was introduced in eleven of the fifteen Economic
and Monetary Union countries. The Company has affiliates located in the
following countries which participated in the Euro introduction: Finland,
Italy, the Netherlands, and Spain. In addition, the Company transacts
business in other countries in which the Euro has been introduced. The
Company does not believe the conversion to the Euro and the cost of
34
<PAGE>
implementing required system changes will be material to the Company's
consolidated financial statements.
ITEM 7.(a). QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES
ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risks relating to the Company's operations result primarily from
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in interest rates.
The Company is not a party to any material derivative financial instruments.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
A substantial portion of the Company's operations consists of manufacturing
and sales activities conducted by affiliates in foreign jurisdictions. The
primary foreign markets served by the Company's affiliates are in Australia,
Latin America (principally Colombia, Brazil and Venezuela), and Europe
(principally Italy, the United Kingdom, and Poland). In general, revenues
earned and costs incurred by the Company's major foreign affiliates are
denominated in their respective local currencies. Consequently, the Company's
reported financial results could be affected by factors such as changes in
foreign currency exchange rates or highly inflationary economic conditions in
the foreign markets in which the Company's affiliates operate. When the U.S.
dollar strengthens against foreign currencies, the reported dollar value of
local currency EBIT generally decreases; when the U.S. dollar weakens against
foreign currencies, the reported U.S. dollar value of local currency EBIT
generally increases.
Subject to other business and tax considerations, the Company's strategy is to
mitigate the economic effects of currency exchange rate fluctuations on that
portion of foreign currency EBIT which is expected to be invested elsewhere or
remitted to the parent company. The Company's foreign affiliates generally
invest their excess funds in U.S. dollars or dollar-based instruments, where
such instruments are available with acceptable interest rates and terms. In
those countries where the local currency is the designated functional
currency, however, this strategy exposes the Company to reported losses or
gains in the event the foreign currency strengthens or weakens against the
U.S. dollar. The Company believes that the benefit of investing excess cash
in U.S. dollars or their equivalent outweighs the risk of reporting losses or
gains from currency exchange rate fluctuations. In those countries with
hyper-inflationary economies, where the U.S. dollar is the designated
functional currency, this investment strategy for excess funds mitigates the
risk of reported losses or gains.
Because most of the Company's foreign affiliates operate within their local
economic environment, the Company believes it is appropriate to finance those
operations with local currency borrowings to the extent practicable. Consid-
erations which influence the amount of such borrowings include long- and
short-term business plans, tax implications, and the availability of borrow-
ings with acceptable interest rates and terms. In those countries where the
local currency is the designated functional currency, this strategy mitigates
the risk of reported losses or gains in the event the foreign currency
strengthens or weakens against the U.S. dollar. In those countries where the
35
<PAGE>
U.S. dollar is the designated functional currency, however, local currency
borrowings expose the Company to reported losses or gains in the event the
foreign currency strengthens or weakens against the U.S. dollar.
The Company's Bank Credit Agreement provides for a $1.75 billion loan
revolving facility which is available to certain of the Company's foreign
subsidiaries and denominated in certain foreign currencies. As of December
31, 1999, amounts outstanding under the offshore loan revolving facility were
as follows:
Millions of
Foreign Currency Amount U.S. Dollars
--------------------------------- ------------
1.42 billion Australian dollars $ 904.4
230.0 million British pounds 369.5
100.0 billion Italian lire 52.0
--------
$1,325.9
========
The remaining portion of the Company's consolidated debt which was denominated
in foreign currencies was not significant.
The Company believes it does not have material foreign currency exchange rate
risk related to the financial instruments (i.e. cash, short-term investments,
and long-term debt) of its foreign affiliates.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company's interest expense is most sensitive to changes in the general
level of U.S. interest rates applicable to its U.S. dollar indebtedness. To
mitigate the impact of fluctuations in variable interest rates, the Company
could, at its option, convert to fixed interest rates by either refinancing
variable rate debt with fixed rate debt or entering into interest rate swaps.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Basis of Consolidated Statements. The consolidated financial statements of
Owens-Illinois, Inc. ("Company") include the accounts of its subsidiaries.
Newly acquired subsidiaries have been included in the consolidated financial
statements from dates of acquisition. Consolidated foreign subsidiaries are
principally reported on the basis of fiscal years ending November 30.
The Company uses the equity method of accounting for investments in which it
has a significant ownership interest, generally 20% to 50%. Other investments
are accounted for at cost.
Nature of Operations. The Company is a leading manufacturer of glass
container and plastics packaging products operating in two product segments.
The Company's principal product lines in the Glass Containers product segment
are glass containers for the food and beverage industries. Sales of the Glass
Containers product segment were 68% of the Company's 1999 consolidated sales.
The Company has glass container operations located in 19 countries, while the
plastics packaging products operations are located in 11 countries. The
principal markets and operations for the Company's glass products are in the
United States, Europe, Latin America, and Australia. The Company's principal
product lines in the Plastics Packaging product segment include plastic
containers, plastic closures, and plastic prescription containers. Major
markets for the Company's plastics packaging products include the United
States household products, personal care products, health care products, and
food and beverage industries.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management of the Company to
make estimates and assumptions that affect certain amounts reported in the
financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from
those estimates, at which time the Company would revise its estimates
accordingly. For further information on certain of the Company's significant
estimates, see Contingencies on page 69.
Cash. The Company defines "cash" as cash and time deposits with maturities of
three months or less when purchased.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments. The carrying amounts reported for cash,
short-term investments and short-term loans approximate fair value. In
addition, carrying amounts approximate fair value for certain long-term debt
obligations subject to frequently redetermined interest rates. Fair values
for the Company's significant fixed rate debt obligations are generally based
on published market quotations. The Company is not a party to any material
derivative financial instruments.
48
<PAGE>
Inventory Valuation. The Company values most U.S. inventories at the lower of
last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost or market. Other inventories are valued at the
lower of standard costs (which approximate average costs), average costs, or
market.
Excess of Purchase Cost over Net Assets Acquired. The excess of purchase cost
over net assets acquired is being amortized over 40 years. The Company
evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based on undiscounted
projected cash flows, excluding interest and taxes, when factors indicate that
an impairment may exist.
Property, Plant, and Equipment. In general, depreciation is computed using
the straight-line method.
Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes sales upon the shipment of its
products.
Income Taxes on Undistributed Earnings. In general, the Company plans to
continue to invest in the business the undistributed earnings of foreign
subsidiaries and foreign corporate joint ventures accounted for by the equity
method. Accordingly, taxes are provided only on that amount of undistributed
earnings in excess of planned reinvestments.
Foreign Currency Translation. The assets and liabilities of certain
affiliates and associates are translated at current exchange rates and any
related translation adjustments are recorded directly in share owners' equity.
The Company's affiliates located in Venezuela operate in "highly inflationary"
economies. In such cases, certain assets of these affiliates are translated
at historical exchange rates and all translation adjustments are reflected in
the statements of Consolidated Results of Operations.

<PAGE>
The convertible preferred stock was not included in the computation of 1999
and 1998 diluted earnings per share since the result would have been
antidilutive. The exchangeable preferred stock was not included in the
computation of 1998 diluted earnings per share since the result would have
been antidilutive. Options to purchase 3,357,449, 1,160,667, and 11,429,
weighted average shares of common stock which were outstanding during 1999,
1998, and 1997, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted
earnings per share because the options' exercise price was greater than the
average market price of the common shares.
Changes in Components of Working Capital Related to Operations. Changes in
the components of working capital related to operations (net of the effects
related to acquisitions and divestitures) were as follows:
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1999 1998 1997
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Decrease (increase) in current assets:
Short-term investments $ (14.9) $ (6.4) $ 1.1
Receivables (50.2) (18.2) (76.2)
Inventories (46.9) (69.7) 17.9
Prepaid expenses 4.4 (29.8) (.2)
Increase (decrease) in current liabilities:
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (29.2) (37.8) (19.7)
Salaries and wages 3.2 7.5 (4.1)
U.S. and foreign income taxes 11.2 18.3 (10.6)
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
$(122.4) $(136.1) $(91.8)
============================================================================
Inventories. Major classes of inventory are as follows:
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1999 1998
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finished goods $580.0 $608.9
Work in process 36.3 35.0
Raw materials 131.3 123.6
Operating supplies 79.0 70.6
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
$826.6 $838.1
============================================================================
If the inventories which are valued on the LIFO method had been valued at
standard or average costs, which approximate current costs, consolidated
inventories would be higher than reported by $17.7 million and $6.1 million at
December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
Inventories which are valued at the lower of standard costs (which approximate
average costs), average costs, or market at December 31, 1999 and 1998 were
approximately $454.3 million and $506.4 million, respectively.

=============================================================================
In April 1998, the Company entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement (the "Bank Credit Agreement" or "Agreement") with a group of banks
which expires on December 31, 2001. The Agreement provides for a $4.5 billion
revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility"), which includes a
$1.75 billion fronted offshore loan revolving facility (the "Offshore
Facility") denominated in certain foreign currencies, subject to certain
sublimits, available to certain of the Company's foreign subsidiaries. The
Agreement includes an Overdraft Account facility providing for aggregate
borrowings up to $100 million which reduce the amount available for borrowing
under the Revolving Credit Facility. In addition, the terms of the Bank
Credit Agreement permit the Company to request Bid Rate Loans from banks
participating in the Agreement. Borrowings outstanding under Bid Rate Loans
are limited to $750 million and reduce the amount available for borrowing
under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Agreement also provides for the
issuance of letters of credit totaling up to $500 million, which also reduce
the amount available for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility. At
December 31, 1999, the Company had unused credit of $565.3 million available
under the Bank Credit Agreement.
Borrowings under the Revolving Loans commitment bear interest, at the
Company's option, at the prime rate or a reserve adjusted Eurodollar rate.
Loans under the Offshore Facility bear interest, at the applicable borrower's
53
<PAGE>
option, at the applicable Offshore Base Rate or the Adjusted Offshore Periodic
Rate (as those terms are defined in the Bank Credit Agreement). Borrowings
under the Revolving Credit Facility also bear a margin linked to the Company's
Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Agreement. The margin is
currently .500% and is limited to a range of .275% to 1.000%. Overdraft
Account loans bear interest at the prime rate minus the facility fee
percentage, defined below. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings
outstanding under the Revolving Loans commitment at December 31, 1999, was
6.94%. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the
Offshore Facility at December 31, 1999, was 5.92%. While no compensating
balances are required by the Agreement, the Company must pay a facility fee on
the Revolving Credit Facility commitments. The facility fee, currently .250%,
is limited to a range of .125% and .500%, based on the Company's Consolidated
Leverage Ratio.
Borrowings outstanding under the Bank Credit Agreement are unsecured. All of
the obligations of the Company's foreign subsidiaries under the Offshore
Facility are guaranteed by the Company. The Company's Senior Notes and Senior
Debentures rank pari passu with the obligations of the Company under the Bank
Credit Agreement. The Bank Credit Agreement, Senior Notes, and Senior
Debentures are senior in right of payment to all existing and future
subordinated debt of the Company.
Under the terms of the Bank Credit Agreement, dividend payments with respect
to the Company's Preferred or Common Stock and payments for redemption of
shares of its Common Stock are subject to certain limitations. At
December 31, 1999, the maximum remaining allowable amount of such payments was
$289.2 million. The Agreement also requires, among other things, the
maintenance of certain financial ratios, and restricts the creation of liens
and certain types of business activities and investments.
Annual maturities for all of the Company's long-term debt through 2004 are as
follows: 2000, $76.8 million; 2001, $3,973.5 million; 2002, $36.0 million;
2003, $6.7 million; and 2004, $313.3 million.
Interest paid in cash aggregated $388.1 million for 1999, $326.6 million for
1998, and $303.8 million for 1997.

Operating Leases. Rent expense attributable to all operating leases was $73.7
million in 1999, $68.5 million in 1998, and $57.3 million in 1997. Minimum
future rentals under operating leases are as follows: 2000, $43.8 million;
2001, $34.8 million; 2002, $30.2 million; 2003, $27.1 million; 2004, $21.9
million, and 2005 and later, $36.1 million.
Foreign Currency Translation. Aggregate foreign currency exchange gains
(losses) included in other costs and expenses were $4.9 million in 1999,
$(2.8) million in 1998, and $(8.1) million in 1997.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. Foreign currency translation
adjustments comprise accumulated other comprehensive income. Changes in the
cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments were as follows:
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1999 1998 1997
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Balance at beginning of year $(190.7) $(148.0) $ (82.3)

Deferred income taxes (2.1) 2.4 13.9
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Balance at end of year $(368.6) $(190.7) $(148.0)
============================================================================
The net effect of exchange rate fluctuations generally reflects changes in the
relative strength of the U.S. dollar against major foreign currencies between
the beginning and end of the year.

<PAGE>
Income Taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect: (1) the net tax effects of

For U.S. Federal income tax purposes, approximately $195 million of net
operating loss is available as a carryover at December 31, 1999. Carryovers
of the net operating loss expire beginning in 2005.
Alternative minimum tax credits and research and development credits of
approximately $24 million and $11 million, respectively, are available to
offset future U.S. federal income tax. The alternative minimum tax credits do
not expire while carryovers of the research and development credits expire
beginning in 2009.
At December 31, 1999, the Company's equity in the undistributed earnings of
foreign subsidiaries for which income taxes had not been provided approximated
$660 million. It is not practicable to estimate the U.S. and foreign tax
which would be payable should these earnings be distributed.

Convertible Preferred Stock. Annual cumulative dividends of $2.375 per share
accruing from the date of issuance are payable in cash quarterly commencing
August 15, 1998. The convertible preferred stock is convertible at the option
of the holder at any time, unless previously redeemed, into shares of common
stock of the Company at an initial conversion rate of 0.9491 shares of common
stock for each share of convertible stock, subject to adjustment based on
certain events. The convertible preferred stock may not be redeemed prior to
May 15, 2001. At any time on or after such date, the convertible preferred
stock may be redeemed only in shares of common stock of the Company at the
option of the Company at predetermined redemption prices plus accrued and
unpaid dividends, if any, to the redemption date.
Holders of the convertible preferred stock have no voting rights, except as
required by applicable law and except that among other things, whenever
accrued and unpaid dividends on the convertible preferred stock are equal to
or exceed the equivalent of six quarterly dividends payable on the convertible
preferred stock such holders will be entitled to elect two directors to the
Company's board of directors until the dividend arrearage has been paid or
amounts have been set apart for such payment. In addition, certain changes
that would be materially adverse to the rights of holders of the convertible
preferred stock cannot be made without the vote of holders of two-thirds of
the outstanding convertible preferred stock. The convertible preferred stock
is senior to the common stock and the exchangeable preferred stock with
respect to dividends and liquidation events.
Exchangeable Preferred Stock. Exchangeable preferred stock, $.01 par value,
$7.00 cumulative dividend, issuable in series, at December 31, 1999 and 1998,
was as follows:
Number of Shares
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Issued 131,250 131,250
Outstanding 22,612 115,402
The exchangeable preferred stock is exchangeable at the option of the holders
for a number of common shares determined by multiplying the total number of
exchangeable shares being exchanged by the sum of $100 plus all dividends
accumulated and unpaid on each share being exchanged and dividing such amount
by the last reported sales price of common stock on the New York Stock
Exchange at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day
59
<PAGE>
of exchange. Dividends accumulated and unpaid were approximately $2.0 million
and $7.9 million at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
Holders of the exchangeable preferred stock have no voting rights, except on
actions which would affect their rights to exchange shares for common shares,
or on actions to increase the authorized number of exchangeable shares.
Stock Options. The Company has three nonqualified stock option plans: (1)
1991 Stock Option Plan for Key Employees of Owens-Illinois, Inc., (2) 1994
Stock Option Plan for Directors of Owens-Illinois, Inc. and (3) 1997 Equity
Participation Plan of Owens-Illinois, Inc. No options may be exercised in
whole or in part during the first year after the date granted. In general,
subject to accelerated exercisability provisions related to the performance of
the Company's common stock or change of control, 50% of the options become
exercisable on the fifth anniversary of the date of the option grant, with the
remaining 50% becoming exercisable on the sixth anniversary date of the option
grant. In general, options expire following termination of employment or the
day after the tenth anniversary date of the option grant.
All options have been granted at prices equal to the market price of the
Company's common stock on the date granted. Accordingly, the Company
recognizes no compensation expense related to the stock option plans. The
Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation." If the Company had elected to recognize compensation cost
based on the fair value of the options granted at grant date as allowed by
SFAS No. 123, pro forma net income and earnings per share would have been as
follows:
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1999 1998 1997
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net income:
As reported $298.3 $108.0 $167.9
Pro forma 291.4 103.6 166.3
Basic earnings per share:
As reported 1.79 0.62 1.25
Pro forma 1.75 0.59 1.23
Diluted earnings per share:
As reported 1.78 0.62 1.24
Pro forma 1.74 0.59 1.23
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The pro forma effect on net income is not representative of the pro forma
effect on net income in future years because it does not take into
consideration pro forma compensation expense related to grants made prior to
1995. Assuming similar grants in future years, the pro forma effect will not
be fully reflected until 2000.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using
the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pension Benefit Plans. Net credits to results of operations for all of the
Company's pension plans and certain deferred compensation arrangements
amounted to $58.6 million in 1999, $52.1 million in 1998, and $40.2 million in
1997.
The Company has pension plans covering substantially all employees located in
the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia. Benefits generally are
based on compensation for salaried employees and on length of service for
hourly employees. The Company's policy is to fund pension plans such that
sufficient assets will be available to meet future benefit requirements. The
following tables relate to the Company's principal United States, United
Kingdom, and Australian pension plans.

The actuarial present value of benefit obligations is based on a weighted
discount rate of approximately 7.50% for 1999 and 6.25% for 1998. Future
benefits are assumed to increase in a manner consistent with past experience
of the plans, which, to the extent benefits are based on compensation,
includes assumed salary increases on a weighted scale of approximately 4.75%
for both 1999 and 1998. The expected weighted long-term rate of return on
assets was approximately 9.50% for 1999 and 1998, and 9.75% for 1997.
Amortization included in net pension credits is based on the average remaining
service of employees. Plan assets include marketable equity securities (which
at December 31, 1999 and 1998 included 14,423,621 shares of the Company's
common stock), government and corporate debt securities, real estate and
commingled funds.
The Company also sponsors several defined contribution plans for all salary
and hourly U.S. employees. Participation is voluntary and participants'
contributions are based on their compensation. The Company matches
substantially all plan participants' contributions up to various limits.
64
<PAGE>
Company contributions to these plans amounted to $10.5 million in 1999, $10.6
million in 1998, and $9.6 million in 1997.
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions. The Company provides certain
retiree health care and life insurance benefits covering substantially all
U.S. salaried and certain hourly employees. Employees are generally eligible
for benefits upon retirement and completion of a specified number of years of
creditable service.
The changes in the postretirement benefit obligations for the year were as

Assumed health care cost inflation was based on a rate of 6.50% in 1999 and
7.00% in 1998, declining to an ultimate rate of 6.00% in the year 2000. A one
percentage point decrease in the rate would have decreased the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation at December 31, 1999 by $7.8 million and
decreased the net postretirement benefit cost for 1999 by $0.8 million. A one
percentage point increase in the rate would have increased the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation at December 31, 1999 by $9.0 million and
increased the net postretirement benefit cost for 1999 by $0.9 million. The
assumed discount rates used in determining the accumulated postretirement
benefit obligation were 8.00% and 6.50% at December 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. Amortization included in net postretirement benefit cost is
based on the average remaining service of employees.
Benefits provided by the Company for certain of the hourly retirees are
determined by collective bargaining. Most other domestic hourly retirees
receive health and life insurance benefits from a multiemployer trust
established by collective bargaining. Payments to the trust as required by
the bargaining agreements are based upon specified amounts per hour worked and
were $8.0 million in 1999, and $8.6 million in 1998 and 1997. Postretirement
health and life benefits for retirees of foreign affiliates are generally
provided through the national health care programs of the countries in which
the affiliates are located.
Other Revenue. Other revenue for the year ended December 31, 1999 includes
gains totaling $40.8 million related to the sales of a U.S. glass container
plant and a mold manufacturing business in Colombia. Other revenue for the
year ended December 31, 1998, includes a gain of $18.5 million related to the
termination of a license agreement, net of charges for related equipment
write-offs and capacity adjustments, under which the Company had produced
plastic multipack carriers for beverage cans. Other revenue for the year
ended December 31, 1997, includes a gain of $16.3 million on the sale of the
remaining 49% interest in Kimble Glass.

<PAGE>
Other Costs and Expenses. Other costs and expenses for the year ended
December 31, 1999 include charges totaling $20.8 million related principally
to restructuring costs and write-offs of certain assets in Europe and Latin
America. Other costs and expenses for the year ended December 31, 1998,
includes: (1) $250.0 million related to adjustment of the reserve for
estimated future asbestos-related costs, (2) $72.6 million, including
approximately $45 million of termination benefits for the elimination of about
1,500 jobs and aproximately $25 million for asset write-downs, related
principally to a plant closing in the United Kingdom and restructuring costs
at certain international affiliates, (3) a net charge of $0.9 million for the
settlement of certain environmental litigation and the reduction of previously
established reserves for guarantees of certain obligations of a previously
divested business. The amount for 1998 also includes $42.0 million
principally for write-offs of certain assets associated with business
conditions in emerging markets. Other costs and expenses for the year ended
December 31, 1997, include $14.1 million principally for guarantees of certain
lease obligations of a previously divested business.
Acquisition of Worldwide Packaging Businesses of BTR plc. On April 30, 1998,
the Company completed the acquisition of the worldwide glass and plastics
packaging businesses of BTR plc ("BTR Packaging") in an all cash transaction
valued at approximately $3.6 billion (the "Acquisition"). The Acquisition is
being accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The total
purchase cost of approximately $3.6 billion was allocated to the tangible and
identifiable intangible assets and liabilities based upon their respective
fair values. The accompanying Consolidated Results of Operations for the year
ended December 31, 1998, includes eight months of BTR Packaging operations.
The aggregate purchase cost and its allocation to the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed (see "Net Assets Held for Sale") are as follows (in
millions of dollars):
Net working capital acquired $ 215
Property, plant and equipment 857
Net assets held for sale 405

Shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible preferred
stock in the pro forma period were not included in the computation of pro
forma diluted earnings per share because the effect would have been
antidilutive.
The pro forma data does not purport to represent what the results of
operations would actually have been if the Acquisition and the related
financing had in fact occurred on the date indicated, or to project results of
operations for any future period.
Net Assets Held For Sale. In connection with the Acquisition, the Company
committed to sell BTR's United Kingdom glass container manufacturer
("Rockware") obtained in the transaction. Early in the second quarter of
1999, the Company completed the sale of Rockware to a subsidiary of Ardagh
plc, an Irish glass container manufacturer based in Dublin, Ireland, for total
consideration of 249 million pounds sterling (approximately $405 million).
The accompanying Consolidated Results of Operations exclude Rockware and
related financing costs. The carrying value of Rockware was based upon
estimated future cash flows associated with the assets. In connection with
the sale of Rockware, the Company received notes of approximately $135
million. Cash proceeds from the Rockware sale were used for the reduction of
debt and for general corporate purposes.
Extraordinary Charges from Early Extinguishment of Debt. During 1999, the
Company incurred redemption premiums and wrote off unamortized deferred
financing fees related to indebtedness repaid prior to its scheduled maturity.
As a result, the Company recorded extraordinary charges totaling $1.2 million
less applicable income taxes of $.4 million. During 1998, the Company used
proceeds from the May 1998 sale of shares of common stock, convertible
68
<PAGE>
preferred stock, and the issuance of debt for the early retirement of debt
incurred in connection with the Acquisition. As a result, the Company
recorded extraordinary charges for the write-off of unamortized deferred
finance fees totaling $22.8 million, net of applicable income taxes of $8.7
million. During 1997, the Company used the proceeds from the sale of shares
of common stock, the issuance of $600 million of aggregate principal amount of
Senior Notes, and borrowings under its Bank Credit Agreement to redeem
$1,907.4 million aggregate principal amount of fixed cost debt, with annual
interest rates ranging from 9.75% - 11%. As a result, the Company recorded
extraordinary charges for redemption premiums and the write-off of unamortized
deferred finance fees totaling $169.2 million, net of applicable income tax
effects of $64.7 million.
Contingencies. The Company is one of a number of defendants (typically 10 to
20) in a substantial number of lawsuits filed in numerous state and federal
courts by persons alleging bodily injury (including death) as a result of
exposure to dust from asbestos fibers. From 1948 to 1958, one of the
Company's former business units commercially produced and sold approximately
$40 million of a high-temperature, clay-based insulating material containing
asbestos. The Company exited the insulation business in April 1958. The
traditional asbestos personal injury lawsuits and claims relating to such
production and sale of asbestos material typically allege various theories of
liability, including negligence, gross negligence and strict liability and
seek compensatory and punitive damages in various amounts (herein referred to
as "asbestos claims").
The following table shows the approximate number of plaintiffs and claimants
involved in asbestos claims pending at the beginning of, disposed of and filed
during, and pending at the end of, each of the years listed (eliminating
duplicate filings):
1999 1998 1997
------ ------ ------
Pending at beginning of year 15,000 15,000 17,000
Disposed 10,000 7,000 7,000
Filed 12,000 7,000 5,000
------ ------ ------
Pending at end of year 17,000 15,000 15,000
====== ====== ======
The Company is also a defendant in other asbestos-related lawsuits or claims
involving maritime workers, medical monitoring claimants, co-defendants and
property damage claimants. Based on its past experience, the Company believes
that the foregoing categories of claims will not involve any material
liability and they are not included in the above description of pending
claims.
Since receiving its first asbestos claim, the Company, as of December 31,
1999, has disposed of the asbestos claims of approximately 222,000 plaintiffs
and claimants at an average indemnity payment per claim of approximately
$4,550. Certain of these dispositions have included deferred payment amounts
payable over periods ranging from one to seven years. Deferred payments at
December 31, 1999, totaled $32.5 million and are included in the foregoing
average indemnity payment per claim. The Company's indemnity payments for
69
<PAGE>
these claims have varied on a per claim basis, and are expected to continue to
vary considerably over time.
In 1984, the Company initiated litigation in New Jersey against the Company's
insurers, including its wholly-owned captive insurer Owens Insurance Limited
("OIL"), and certain other parties for the years 1977 through 1985 in which
the Company sought damages and a declaration of coverage for both asbestos
bodily injury and property damage claims under insurance policies in effect
during those years (Owens-Illinois, Inc. v. United Insurance Co., et al,
Superior Court of New Jersey, Middlesex County, November 30, 1984). Beginning
in December 1994 and continuing intermittently for approximately one year
thereafter, the Company entered into settlements for approximately $240
million of its coverage claim against OIL to the extent of reinsurance
provided to OIL by the settling reinsurance companies. Following such
settlements, a settlement agreement (the "OIL Settlement") was reached with
OIL. The OIL Settlement called for the payment of remaining non-settled
reinsurance at 78.5% of applicable reinsurance limits, increasing to 81% on
approximately March 1, 1996 and accruing interest thereafter at 10% per annum.
In December 1995, the presiding judge in the United Insurance case entered a
Consent Judgment approving the OIL Settlement, and specifically finding that
it was a good faith settlement which was fair and reasonable as to OIL and all
of OIL's non-settling reinsurers.
In November 1995, a reinsurer of OIL during the years affected by the United
Insurance case brought a separate suit against OIL seeking a declaratory
judgment that it had no reinsurance obligation to OIL (Employer's Mutual v.
Owens-Insurance Limited, Superior Court of New Jersey, Morris County, December
1995). The Company was not a named party to this cause of action but was
subsequently joined in it as a necessary party defendant.
Subsequent to the entry of the Consent Judgment Order in the United Insurance
case described above, OIL gave notice of the OIL Settlement to all non-
settling reinsurers affected by the United Insurance case, informing all such
reinsurers of the terms of the OIL Settlement and demanding timely payment
from such reinsurers pursuant to such terms. Since the date of the OIL
Settlement, 28 previously non-settling reinsurers have made the payments
called for under the OIL Settlement or otherwise settled their obligations
thereunder. Other non-settling solvent reinsurers, all of which are parties
to the Employers Mutual case described above, have not, however, made the
payments called for under the OIL Settlement.
As a result of payments and commitments that have been made by reinsurers
pursuant to the OIL Settlement and the earlier settlement agreements described
above in the United Insurance case and certain other available insurance, the
Company has to date confirmed coverage for its asbestos-related costs of
approximately $317.4 million. Of the total amount confirmed to date, $304.7
million had been received through December 31, 1999; and the balance of
approximately $12.7 million will be received throughout 2000 and the next
several years. The remainder of the insurance asset of approximately $192.6
million relates principally to the reinsurers who have not yet paid, and
continue to contest, their reinsurance obligations under the OIL Settlement.

The Company believes, based on the rulings of the trial court, the Appellate
Division and the New Jersey Supreme Court in the United Insurance case, as
well as its understanding of the facts and legal precedents and based on
advice of counsel, McCarter & English L.L.P., that it is probable substantial
additional payments will be received to cover the Company's asbestos-related
claim losses.
The Company believes that its ultimate asbestos-related contingent liability
(i.e., its indemnity or other claim disposition costs plus related litigation
expenses) is difficult to estimate with certainty. However, in 1993, the
Company established a liability of $975 million to cover what it then
estimated would be the total indemnity payments and legal fees associated with
the resolution of then outstanding and all expected future asbestos lawsuits
and claims. As part of its continual monitoring of asbestos-related matters,
the Company in 1998 conducted a comprehensive review to determine if
adjustments of asbestos-related assets or liabilities were appropriate. As a
result of that review, the Company established an additional liability of $250
million to cover what it estimated to be the total indemnity payments and
legal fees associated with the resolution of outstanding asbestos personal
injury lawsuits and claims and asbestos personal injury lawsuits and claims
filed during the succeeding five years, after which any remaining liability
was not expected to be material in relation to the Company's Consolidated
Financial Statements.
Based on all the factors and matters relating to the Company's asbestos-
related litigation and claims, the Company presently believes that its
asbestos-related costs and liabilities will not exceed by a material amount
the sum of the available insurance reimbursement the Company believes it has
and will have principally as a result of the United Insurance case, and the
OIL Settlement, as described above, and the amount of the charges for
asbestos-related costs previously recorded.
Other litigation is pending against the Company, in many cases involving
ordinary and routine claims incidental to the business of the Company and in
others presenting allegations that are nonroutine and involve compensatory,
punitive or treble damage claims as well as other types of relief. The
ultimate legal and financial liability of the Company in respect to the
lawsuits and proceedings referred to above, in addition to other pending
litigation, cannot be estimated with certainty. However, the Company
believes, based on its examination and review of such matters and experience
to date, that such ultimate liability will not be material in relation to the
Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

unit.
The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on earnings
before interest income, interest expense, provision for income taxes, minority
share owners' interests in earnings of subsidiaries, and extraordinary
charges, (collectively "EBIT") excluding unusual items. EBIT includes an
allocation of corporate expenses based on both a percentage of sales and
direct billings based on the costs of specific services provided. For the
Company's U.S. pension plans, net periodic pension cost (credit) has been
allocated to product segments while the related prepaid pension asset is
included in the caption Eliminations and Other Retained. Net sales as shown
in the geographic segment information are based on the location of the
Company's affiliate which recorded the sales.

(a) In the first quarter of 1998, the Company recorded: (1) a credit of
$15.1 million to adjust net deferred income tax liabilities as a result
of a reduction in Italy's statutory income tax rate; (2) a gain of $18.5
million ($11.4 million aftertax) related to the termination of a license
agreement, net of charges for related equipment write-offs and capacity
adjustments, under which the Company had produced plastic multipack
79
<PAGE>
carriers for beverage cans; and (3) charges of $16.3 million ($10.1
million aftertax) for the settlement of certain environmental litigation
and severance costs at certain international affiliates. The net
aftertax amounts of these items was a credit of $16.4 million, or $0.12
per share on both a basic and diluted basis for the first quarter.
(b) In the third quarter of 1998, the Company recorded: (1) a benefit of
$7.6 million ($4.7 million aftertax) from the reduction of previously
established reserves for guarantees of certain obligations of a
previously divested business; and (2) a loss of $5.7 million ($3.5
million aftertax) on the sale of a discontinued operation by an equity
investee. The net aftertax amounts of these items was a credit of $1.2
million, or $0.01 per share on both a basic and diluted basis for the
third quarter.
(c) In the fourth quarter of 1998, the Company recorded: (1) a charge of
$250.0 million ($154.4 million aftertax) related to adjustment of the
reserve for estimated future asbestos-related costs; (2) charges of $64.8
million ($42.6 million after tax and minority share owners' interests)
related principally to a plant closing in the United Kingdom and
restructuring costs at certain international affiliates. The net
aftertax amount of these items was a charge of $197.0 million, or $1.27
per share on both a basic and diluted basis for the fourth quarter.
In the fourth quarter of 1998, the Company also recorded: (1) charges of
$42.0 million ($31.5 million after tax and minority share owners'
interests) principally for write-offs of certain assets associated with
business conditions in emerging markets; and (2) charges of $8.2 million
($6.2 million aftertax) associated with changes in estimated carrying
costs of the Rockware glass container business. The net aftertax amount
of these items was a charge of $37.7 million, or $0.24 per share on both
a basic and diluted basis for the fourth quarter.
(d) Earnings per share are computed independently for each period presented.
Due primarily to the issuance of 14.5 million shares of common stock in
the second quarter of 1998, the second quarter of 1998 issuance of
convertible preferred stock, which is convertible into approximately 8.6
million shares of common stock, and the resultant effect of all these
changes on average shares, per share amounts calculated on a year-to-date
basis do not equal the sums of such amounts calculated separately for
each quarter.
