CORRECTING and REPLACING Berkshire Hathaway Inc. News Release
Earlier today, Berkshire issued its fourth quarter earnings press release. The purpose of this press release is to correct two errors in footnote 1. The press release stated that investment gains/losses included gains of $56.3 billion in the fourth quarter of 2021 due to changes during the fourth quarter in the unrealized gains that existed in our equity security investment holdings. The correct amount is $31.7 billion. Also, the press release stated that the amount of after-tax realized gains on sales of investments in the fourth quarter of 2021 was $2.3 billion. The correct amount is $535 million. The corrected amounts have been inserted into footnote 1 of the corrected earnings release which follows.
