[Handout by Mr. David Gillibrand]. of gains on investment transactions is largely discretionary as to timing and can fluctuate significantly, which could distort the analysis of trends and comparability of reported periods. Alleghany also shows net earnings (loss) exclusive of both catastrophe losses and net gains on investment transactions after tax, a non-GAAP financial measure, which is intended to assist investors in analyzing the impact of such items. Catastrophe losses are significant to Alleghany's 2004 results and, similar to gains on investment transactions, can fluctuate significantly, which could distort the analysis of trends and comparability of reported periods.
