CORRECTING and REPLACING Berkshire Hathaway Inc. News Release
OMAHA, Neb.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug 2, 2025-- First paragraph under second table, second sentence should read: At June 30, 2025, insurance float (the net liabilities we assume under insurance contracts) was approximately $174 billion, an increase of $3 billion since yearend 2024 (instead of At June 30, 2024, insurance float (the net liabilities we assume under insurance contracts) was approximately $174 billion, an increase of $3 billion since yearend 2024.) The updated release reads: BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY INC. NEWS RELEASE Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (BRK.A; BRK.B) – Berkshire's operating results for the second quarter and first six months of 2025 and 2024 are summarized in the following paragraphs. However, we urge investors and reporters to read our 10-Q, which has been posted at The limited information that follows in this press release is not adequate for making an informed investment judgment. Earnings of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries for the second quarter and first six months of 2025 and 2024 are summarized below. Earnings are stated on an after-tax basis. (Dollar amounts are in millions, except for per share amounts). Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ('GAAP') 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 2025 include gains of $1.5 billion in the second quarter and losses of $5.9 billion in the first six months and in 2024 include losses of $28.2 billion in the second quarter and $37.9 billion in the first six months due to changes during the second quarter and the first six months in the unrealized gains that existed in our equity security investment holdings. Investment gains (losses) in 2025 also include after-tax realized gains of $4.2 billion in the second quarter and $6.6 billion in the first six months and in 2024 include after-tax realized gains on sales of investments of $47.0 billion in the second quarter and $58.2 billion in the first six months. 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. An analysis of Berkshire's operating earnings follows (dollar amounts are in millions). On June 30, 2025, there were 1,438,223 Class A equivalent shares outstanding. At June 30, 2025, insurance float (the net liabilities we assume under insurance contracts) was approximately $174 billion, an increase of $3 billion since yearend 2024. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures This 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. Berkshire 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's 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), impairments of goodwill and intangible assets and other-than-temporary impairments of equity method investments. Although the investment of insurance and reinsurance premiums to generate investment income and investment gains or losses is an integral part of Berkshire's 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. About Berkshire Berkshire Hathaway and its subsidiaries engage in diverse business activities including insurance and reinsurance, utilities and energy, freight rail transportation, manufacturing, retailing and services. Common stock of the company is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, trading symbols BRK.A and BRK.B. Cautionary Statement Certain statements contained in this press release are 'forward looking' statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are not guaranties of future performance and actual results may differ materially from those forecasted. View source version on CONTACT: Marc D.
