虽然没有任何一项数字是完美的,但我们相信这项透视盈余会比按一般公认会计原则下的数字更能够反应Berkshire实际的获利状况。
I"ve told you that over time look-through earnings must increase at about 15% annually if our intrinsic business value is to grow at that rate. Our look-through earnings in 1992 were $604 million, and they will need to grow to more than $1.8 billion by the year 2000 if we are to meet that 15% goal. For us to get there, our operating subsidiaries and investees must deliver excellent performances, and we must exercise some skill in capital allocation as well.
我曾经告诉各位,长期而言,如果我们的实质价值也期望以这个幅度来成长的话,透视盈余每年也必须增加15%,1992年我们的透视盈余约为6.04亿美元,而到公元2000年为止,若要以15%的目标,透视盈余必须成长到18亿美元,要完成这样的目标,代表我们旗下的营运事业及主要的被投资公司必须要有更杰出的表现,同时我们本身资金规划分配也要更有效益才成。
We cannot promise to achieve the $1.8 billion target. Indeed, we may not even come close to it. But it does guide our decision-making: When we allocate capital today, we are thinking about what will maximize look-through earnings in 2000.
我们不敢保证届时一定可以达到18亿美元的目标,甚至很有可能根本就达不到,不过这目标还是对我们的决策有帮助,每当我们现在在分配资金时,我们都会想到要如何将2000年的透视盈余极大化。
We do not, however, see this long-term focus as eliminating the need for us to achieve decent short-term results as well. After all, we were thinking long-range thoughts five or ten years ago, and the moves we made then should now be paying off. If plantings made confidently are repeatedly followed by disappointing harvests, something is wrong with the farmer. (Or perhaps with the farm: Investors should understand that for certain companies, and even for some industries, there simply is no good long-term strategy.) Just as you should be suspicious of managers who pump up short-term earnings by accounting maneuvers, asset sales and the like, so also should you be suspicious of those managers who fail to deliver for extended periods and blame it on their long-term focus. (Even Alice, after listening to the Queen lecture her about "jam tomorrow," finally insisted, "It must come sometimes to jam today.")
不过我们对于长期目标的专注并不代表我们就不注重短期结果,总的来说我们早在5到10年前就预先规划设想,而当时所作的举动现在才开始慢慢地回收,如果每次有信心的播种最后的收割结果都一再让人失望的话,农夫就应该要好好地检讨原因了,(不然就是农地有问题,投资人必须了解对于某些公司或甚至是某些产业,根本就没有所谓的长期性策略),就像是你可能会特别留心那些利用会计手法或出售资产撑高短期盈余的经理人,你也应该要特别注意那些一再延长达成目标期程,并把长期目标一直挂在嘴上的人,(即使是爱莉丝一再听到母后明天再挤牛奶的说教,她最后还是忍不注坚持,总有一些应该要今天挤吧!)
The following table shows you how we calculate look-through earnings, though I warn you that the figures are necessarily very rough. (The dividends paid to us by these investees have been included in the operating earnings itemized on page 8, mostly under "Insurance Group: Net Investment Income.")
各位可以从下表看出我们是如何计算透视盈余的,不过我还是要提醒各位这些数字有点粗糙,(被投资公司所分配的股利收入已经包含在保险事业的净投资收益项下)

Yearly Change Combined Ratio in Premiums After Policyholder
Written (%) Dividends
1981 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 1990 1991 (Revised) 1992 (Est.)

The combined ratio represents total insurance costs (losses incurred plus expenses) compared to revenue from premiums: A ratio below 100 indicates an underwriting profit, and one above 100 indicates a loss. The higher the ratio, the worse the year. When the investment income that an insurer earns from holding policyholders" funds ("the float") is taken into account, a combined ratio in the 106 - 110 range typically produces an overall break-even result, exclusive of earnings on the funds provided by shareholders.
综合比率代表保险的总成本(理赔损失加上费用)占保费收入的比例,比率在100以下代表有承保的损失,在100以上则代表有承保的获利综合比率代表的是保险的总成本(损失加上费用)占保费收入的比率,100以下代表会有承销利益,100以上代表会有承销损失,若把持有保费收入浮存金(扣除股东权益部份所产生的盈余)所产生的投资收益列入考量,损益两平的范围大概是在106-110之间。
