\nGenerally Accepted Accounting Principles (\u201cGAAP\u201d) require that we include the changes in unrealized gains\/losses of our equity security investments as a component of investment gains\/losses in our earnings statements. In the table above, investment gains\/losses in 2024 include after-tax gains of $2.1 billion in the fourth quarter and after-tax losses of $38.1 billion in the full year and in 2023 include after-tax gains of $29.5 billion in the fourth quarter and $53.0 billion in the full year due to changes<\/i> during the fourth quarter and the full year in the unrealized<\/i> gains that existed in our equity security investment holdings. Investment gains\/losses in 2024 include after-tax realized <\/i>gains of $3.1 billion in the fourth quarter and $79.6 billion for the full year and in 2023 include after-tax realized<\/i> losses on sales of investments of $330 million in the fourth quarter and after-tax realized gains of $3.6 billion in the full year. In 2023 investment gains also include a net remeasurement gain of approximately $2.4 billion related to Berkshire\u2019s acquisition of an additional 41.4% interest in Pilot Travel Centers.\n<\/p>\n

The amount of investment gains\/losses in any given quarter is usually meaningless and delivers figures for net earnings per share that can be extremely misleading to investors who have little or no knowledge of accounting rules.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

* Includes foreign currency exchange gains related to non-U.S. Dollar denominated debt of approximately $1.2 billion in the fourth quarter and $1.1 billion in the full year 2024 and in 2023 includes foreign currency exchange losses of approximately $684 million in the fourth quarter and gains of approximately $211 million in the full year.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

\nBerkshire used approximately $2.9 billion to repurchase Berkshire shares during 2024. On December 31, 2024 there were 1,438,223 Class A equivalent shares outstanding. At December 31, 2024, insurance float (the net liabilities we assume under insurance contracts) was approximately $171 billion, an increase of $2 billion since yearend 2023.\n<\/p>\n

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures<\/b><\/p>\n

\nThis press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures. The reconciliations of such measures to the most comparable GAAP figures in accordance with Regulation G are included herein.\n<\/p>\n

\nBerkshire presents its results in the way it believes will be most meaningful and useful, as well as most transparent, to the investing public and others who use Berkshire\u2019s financial information. That presentation includes the use of certain non-GAAP financial measures. In addition to the GAAP presentations of net earnings, Berkshire shows operating earnings defined as net earnings exclusive of investment gains\/losses.\n<\/p>\n

\nAlthough the investment of insurance and reinsurance premiums to generate investment income and investment gains or losses is an integral part of Berkshire\u2019s operations, the generation of investment gains or losses is independent of the insurance underwriting process. Moreover, as previously described, under applicable GAAP accounting requirements, we are required to include the changes in unrealized gains\/losses of our equity security investments as a component of investment gains\/losses in our periodic earnings statements. In sum, investment gains\/losses for any particular period are not indicative of quarterly business performance.\n<\/p>\n
