巴菲特致股东的信1972
theStockholdersofBerkshireHathawayInc.:
Operating earnings of Berkshire Hathaway during 1972 amounted to a highly satisfactory 19.8%
of beginning shareholders’ equity. Significant improvement was recorded in all of our major lines
of business, but the most dramatic gains were in insurance underwriting profit. Due to an unusual
convergence of favorable factors—diminishing auto accident frequency, moderating accident
severity, and an absence of major catastrophes—underwriting profit margins achieved a level far
aboveaverages ofthepastorexpectationsofthefuture.
While we anticipate a modest decrease in operating earnings during 1973, it seems clear that our
diversification moves of recent years have established a significantly higher base of normal
earningpower.Yourpresentmanagement assumedpolicycontrolofthecompanyinMay,1965.
Eight years later, our 1972 operating earnings of $11,116,256 represent a return many-fold higher
than would have been produced had we continued to devote our resources entirely to the textile
business. At the end of the 1964 fiscal year, shareholders’ equity totaled $22,138,753.Since that
time, no additional equity capital has been introducedinto the business,either through cash sale or
through merger. On the contrary, some stock has been reacquired, reducing outstanding shares by
14%. The increase in book value per share from $19.46 at fiscal year-end 1964 to $69.72 at 1972

Our three major acquisitions of recent years have all worked out exceptionally well—from both
the financial and human standpoints. In all three cases, the founders were major sellers
andreceived significant proceeds in cash—and, in all three cases, the same individuals, Jack
Ringwalt, Gene Abegg and Vic Raab, have continued to run the businesses with undiminished
energy and imagination which have resulted in further improvement of the fine records previously
established.
