Exhibit 99.2
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
On June 30, 2014, Graham Holdings Company (the Company) completed an exchange transaction with Berkshire Hathaway, Inc. (Berkshire), whereby the Company acquired 1,620,190 shares of Class B common stock of the Company held by a subsidiary of Berkshire, in exchange for all of the shares of common stock of a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, which owned (i) WPLG, a Miami-based television station, (ii) 2,107 Class A Berkshire shares and 1,278 Class B Berkshire shares, and (iii) $327.7 million in cash. The exchange transaction qualifies as a tax-free distribution under IRC Section 355 and 361.
The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet presents the Company’s financial position assuming the exchange transaction with Berkshire occurred on March 31, 2014. 
The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income present the Company’s results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended December 31, 2013, assuming the exchange transaction occurred on January 3, 2011.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using assumptions and estimates that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances and are intended for informational purposes only. They are not necessarily indicative of the financial results that would have occurred if the transactions described herein had taken place on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of the future consolidated results of the Company. However, management believes that the estimates and assumptions used provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects of the exchange transaction. Management also believes the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to the estimates and assumptions and are applied in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2014 and the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended December 31, 2013, should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2014 (unaudited) and for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended December 31, 2013 (audited), including the related notes, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, respectively, on Form 10-Q on May 7, 2014 and on Form 10-K on February 28, 2014.
The following is a brief description of the amounts recorded under each of the column headings in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet and the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income:
Historical GHC
This column reflects the Company’s historical financial position as of March 31, 2014 and historical operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013, prior to any adjustment for the exchange transaction.

(1)    This column reflects the elimination of the historical financial position of the assets and liabilities distributed to Berkshire as if the exchange transaction occurred on March 31, 2014. Specifically, the column reflects the elimination of (i) the historical assets and liabilities of WPLG, (ii) the Company's investment in Berkshire Class A and B shares, and (iii) cash payment of $327.7 million in exchange for 1,620,190 shares of the Company's Class B common shares as of March 31, 2014. The exchange transaction qualifies as a tax-free distribution under IRC Section 355 and 361. The column also reflects the estimated impact of the exchange transaction, including the tax-free nature of the exchange.
 
 
(2)    Amount of cash distributed per the exchange transaction.
 
(3)    Includes the estimated impact of the distribution on June 30, 2014 of 2,107 Class A Berkshire shares and 1,278 Class B Berkshire shares owned by the Company, including the recognition of the realized gain on available-for-sale securities. The price of a Class A and Class B Berkshire share was $189,900.50 per share and $126.56 per share, respectively, at the time of the exchange. No income tax is provided as the exchange is a tax-free distribution under IRC Section 355 and 361. This entry also represents the elimination of deferred income taxes provided on the unrecognized gain on available-for-sale securities.
 
(4)    Includes the effect of the distribution of WPLG, the Company's Miami-based television station, to Berkshire as part of the exchange transaction. The Company used the fair value of its Class B common shares acquired from Berkshire, net of the fair value of Berkshire shares and cash distributed to Berkshire, to determine the fair value of WPLG in the exchange transaction, which was used to calculate the gain on the distribution.
 
(5)    Includes the estimated impact of (i) the gain on the distribution of WPLG, and (ii) realized gain on distribution of Berkshire Class A and Class B shares. No income tax is provided as the exchange transaction qualifies as a tax-free distribution under IRC Section 355 and 361.
 
(6)    Includes the effect of 1,620,190 shares of the Company's Class B common shares acquired in the exchange transaction on June 30, 2014. The share price of the Company's Class B common shares was $719.32 per share at the time of the exchange.
