Analyst Note

| Greggory Warren |

Having had a chance to sift through the changes in wide-moat-rated Berkshire Hathaway's first-quarter 13F filing now that the company has segregated its holdings at New England Asset Management (a wholly owned subsidiary of the firm's General Re insurance subsidiary) from those that will continue to be managed as separate client holdings (amounting to $645 million at the end of March 2023), we are updating our comments about the company's equity investment portfolio for the most recent quarter.

Company Profile BRK.A

Business Description

Berkshire Hathaway is a holding company with a wide array of subsidiaries engaged in diverse activities. The firm's core business segment is insurance, run primarily through Geico, Berkshire Hathaway Reinsurance Group, and Berkshire Hathaway Primary Group. Berkshire has used the excess cash thrown off from these and its other operations over the years to acquire Burlington Northern Santa Fe (railroad), Berkshire Hathaway Energy (utilities and energy distributors), and the firms that make up its manufacturing, service, and retailing operations (which include five of Berkshire's largest noninsurance pretax earnings generators: Precision Castparts, Lubrizol, Clayton Homes, Marmon, and IMC/ISCAR). The conglomerate is unique in that it is run on a completely decentralized basis.
