  • Investment Manager ♦ Warren Buffett, Now Aged 90, Has Had a Celebrated Career As a Savvy Investor Who Buys and Holds Investments for Many Years
    Sector: Insurance Kathleen Shanley, CFA September 2 , 20 20 [email protected] Investment Manager ♦ Warren Buffett, now aged 90, has had a celebrated career as a savvy investor who buys and holds investments for many years. But since 2018, when there was an accounting change, Berkshire Hathaway’s (BRK) reported earnings have been volatile, because changes in the fair value of equity securities flow through investment and derivative gains and losses each quarter. During the first quarter ended March 31, 2020, the company reported a net loss of $49.7 billion, reflecting the Covid-related downturn in financial markets. Then, during the second quarter, there was a net gain of $26.2 billion. Second quarter results would have been even stronger, were it not for a $10.6 billion goodwill and intangible asset impairment charge. About $10 billion of the charge covered Precision Castparts Corp. (PCC), which BRK acquired for $37.2 billion in cash and assumed debt in 2016. PCC supplies parts for aircraft makers and the oil and gas industry. Given the sharp recession in these sectors, the company slashed its workforce by about one-third in the first half of 2020. While the write down suggests that BRK overpaid for PCC, the company can easily absorb the mistake, given its large stockpile of cash and diverse portfolio of businesses. We update our investment opinion for Berkshire Hathaway. ♦ While BRK’s investments attract more attention in the press, GEICO insurance has been a strong performer since the outbreak of the pandemic. Auto insurers are benefiting from the Covid- related decline in commuting and traveling.

  • Former Netjets Executive Joining Private Equity Firm by the ASSOCIATED PRESS - OCT
    Former NetJets Executive Joining Private Equity Firm By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS - OCT. 29, 2015. OMAHA, Neb. — The former Berkshire Hathaway executive who earned praise from Warren Buffett while leading NetJets for four years is joining a private equity firm that invests in hotels. Four months after Jordan Hansell resigned in the midst of NetJets' contract dispute with its pilots' union, he took a job as president of Rockbridge Holdings. While at NetJets, Hansell had appeared alongside Buffett in interviews to discuss the cost-cutting turnaround he led from 2011 until June. But near the end of tenure, Hansell became the focus of the union's ire over concessions the company sought in prolonged talks. "Ultimately, it became a little bit about me as a leader, and I thought it was probably best if I got out of the way to see if they could come to a conclusion in those arrangements," Hansell said about why he left NetJets. The company's 2,700 pilots reached a tentative contract agreement with NetJets earlier this month. The company sells partial ownership interests in a fleet of more than 700 business jets. During Hansell's time with NetJets, Buffett praised his efforts to cut costs after demand for private jets plummeted in the midst of the Great Recession. Buffett did not respond to questions this week. Hansell seemed to tire of the challenging economic conditions NetJets faced. Now at Rockbridge, Hansell will get more opportunity to use the dealmaking skills he learned before joining NetJets as a mergers and acquisitions lawyer. "When I arrived at NetJets along with others, it was in 2009 in very difficult circumstances," Hansell said.
