Analysis of Results:
In the preceding table we separate earnings of our operating businesses from our investment gains/losses.
Biglari Holdings currently holds its investments at market value, with unrealized appreciation, net of income tax effect included as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Shareholders’ equity can increase by the retention of earnings as well as by unrealized gains on marketable securities. As of April 10, 2013, Biglari Holdings had $142.3 million of pre-tax unrealized investment gains, which if harvested in any given quarter can materially impact and thereby distort net income figures.
