NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
 
Note 1.  Nature of Operations
 
Erie Indemnity Company ("Indemnity", "we", "us", "our") is a publicly held Pennsylvania business corporation that has since its incorporation in 1925 served as the attorney-in-fact for the subscribers (policyholders) at the Erie Insurance Exchange ("Exchange").  The Exchange, which also commenced business in 1925, is a Pennsylvania-domiciled reciprocal insurer that writes property and casualty insurance.

Our primary function as attorney-in-fact is to perform policy issuance and renewal services on behalf of the subscribers at the Exchange. We also act as attorney-in-fact on behalf of the subscribers at the Exchange with respect to all claims handling and investment management services, as well as the service provider for all claims handling, life insurance and investment management services for the Exchange's insurance subsidiaries, collectively referred to as "administrative services". Acting as attorney-in-fact in these two capacities is done in accordance with a subscriber's agreement (a limited power of attorney) executed individually by each subscriber (policyholder), which appoints Indemnity as each subscriber's attorney-in-fact to transact certain business on their behalf.  In accordance with the subscriber's agreement for acting as attorney-in-fact in these two capacities, we retain a management fee calculated as a percentage of the direct and affiliated assumed premiums written by the Exchange.

The policy issuance and renewal services we provide on behalf of the subscribers at the Exchange are related to the sales, underwriting and issuance of policies. The sales related services we provide include agent compensation and certain sales and advertising support services. Agent compensation includes scheduled commissions to agents based upon premiums written as well as incentive compensation, which is earned by achieving targeted measures. The underwriting services we provide include underwriting and policy processing. The remaining services we provide include customer service and administrative support. We also provide information technology services that support all the functions listed above. Included in these expenses are allocations of costs for departments that support these policy issuance and renewal functions.

Consistent with its legal structure as a reciprocal insurer, the Exchange does not have any employees or officers. Therefore, it enters into contractual relationships by and through the subscribers' attorney-in-fact. Indemnity serves as the attorney-in-fact on behalf of the subscribers at the Exchange with respect to its administrative services as enumerated in the subscriber's agreement. The Exchange's insurance subsidiaries also utilize Indemnity for these services in accordance with the service agreements between each of the subsidiaries and Indemnity. Claims handling services include costs incurred in the claims process, including the adjustment, investigation, defense, recording and payment functions. Life insurance management services include costs incurred in the management and processing of life insurance business. Investment management services are related to investment trading activity, accounting and all other functions attributable to the investment of funds. Included in these expenses are allocations of costs for departments that support these administrative functions. The subscriber's agreement and service agreements provide for reimbursement of amounts incurred for these services to Indemnity. Reimbursements are settled at cost. State insurance regulations require that intercompany service agreements and any material amendments be approved in advance by the state insurance department.

Our results of operations are tied to the growth and financial condition of the Exchange. If any events occurred that impaired the Exchange’s ability to grow or sustain its financial condition, including but not limited to reduced financial strength ratings, disruption in the independent agency relationships, significant catastrophe losses or products not meeting customer demands, the Exchange could find it more difficult to retain its existing business and attract new business. A decline in the business of the Exchange almost certainly could have as a consequence a decline in the total premiums paid and a correspondingly adverse effect on the amount of the management fees we receive. We also have an exposure to a concentration of credit risk related to the unsecured receivables due from the Exchange for net management fee and other reimbursements. See Note 13, "Concentrations of Credit Risk".

Note 2.  Significant Accounting Policies
 
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, and include the accounts of Indemnity and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on February 27, 2025.

Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recently adopted accounting standards
We adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures", effective with the annual reporting period ending December 31, 2024. We applied the guidance retrospectively to prior periods presented in the consolidated financial statements based on the significant segment expense categories identified and disclosed in the period of adoption. As an entity with a single reportable segment, we disclose significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to our chief operating decision maker and included within each reported period of profit or loss, and all applicable disclosures required by Topic 280. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on our consolidated financial statements. The additional disclosures required by this guidance have been included in Note 4, "Segment Information".

Recently issued accounting standards and disclosure rules
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures", which requires entities to disclose specific categories in an effective tax rate reconciliation, additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold, and certain information about income taxes paid. The amendments in this ASU are required to be adopted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments can be applied on either a prospective or retrospective basis. We plan to adopt the standard in our consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2025, and we expect the standard will impact certain of our income tax disclosures.

In March 2024, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") adopted final rules under SEC Release No. 33-11275, "The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors", requiring registrants to disclose certain climate-related information in registration statements and annual reports. The final rules include disclosure of climate-related risks that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on a registrant’s business, results of operations or financial condition. Disclosures related to significant effects of severe weather events and other natural conditions and amounts related to carbon offsets and renewable energy credits or certificates are required in the financial statements in certain circumstances. Disclosure requirements will phase in for fiscal years beginning in 2025 and be applied prospectively upon adoption. On April 4, 2024, the SEC issued a voluntary stay on its final rules until legal challenges to the rules are addressed, and on March 27, 2025, the SEC voted to end its defense of the rules and withdrew from the litigation. We continue to monitor the status of these rules pending the court's ultimate decision.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses", which requires entities to disclose disaggregated information about certain income statement expense line items. The amendments in this ASU are required to be adopted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments can be applied on either a prospective or retrospective basis. This will have no impact on our consolidated financial statements, and we are currently evaluating the impact of adoption on our disclosures.

Note 3.  Revenue
 
The majority of our revenue is derived from the subscriber’s agreement between us and the subscribers (policyholders) at the Exchange. In accordance with the subscriber’s agreement, we retain a management fee calculated as a percentage, not to exceed 25%, of all direct and affiliated assumed written premiums of the Exchange. We allocate a portion of our management fee revenue, currently 25% of the direct and affiliated assumed written premiums of the Exchange, between the two performance obligations we have under the subscriber’s agreement. The first performance obligation is to provide policy issuance and renewal services to the subscribers (policyholders) at the Exchange, and the second is to act as attorney-in-fact on behalf of the subscribers at the Exchange, as well as the service provider for the Exchange's insurance subsidiaries, with respect to all administrative services.

The transaction price, including management fee revenue and administrative services reimbursement revenue, includes variable consideration and is allocated based on the estimated standalone selling prices developed using industry information and other available information for similar services. A constraining estimate of variable consideration exists related to the potential for management fees to be returned if a policy were to be cancelled mid-term. Management fees are returned to the Exchange when policyholders cancel their insurance coverage mid-term and premiums are refunded to them. The constraining estimate is determined using the expected value method, based on both historical and current information. The estimated transaction price, as reduced by the constraint, reflects consideration expected for performance of our services. We update the transaction price and the related allocation at least annually based upon the most recent information available or more frequently if there have been significant changes in any components considered in the transaction price.

The first performance obligation is to provide policy issuance and renewal services that result in executed insurance policies between the Exchange or one of its insurance subsidiaries and the subscriber (policyholder). The subscriber (policyholder) receives economic benefits when substantially all the policy issuance or renewal services are complete and an insurance policy is issued or renewed by the Exchange or one of its insurance subsidiaries. It is at the time of policy issuance or renewal that the allocated portion of revenue is recognized.

Consistent with its legal structure as a reciprocal insurer, the Exchange does not have any employees or officers. Therefore, it enters into contractual relationships by and through the subscribers' attorney-in-fact. Indemnity serves as the attorney-in-fact on behalf of the subscribers at the Exchange with respect to its administrative services as enumerated in the subscriber's agreement. The Exchange's insurance subsidiaries also utilize Indemnity for these services in accordance with the service agreements between each of the subsidiaries and Indemnity. Collectively, these services represent a second performance obligation under the subscriber’s agreement and the service agreements. The revenue allocated to this performance obligation is recognized over a four-year period representing the time over which these services are provided. The portion of revenue not yet earned is recorded as a contract liability in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recognized revenue of $15.4 million that was included in the contract liability balance as of December 31, 2024. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recognized revenue of $15.0 million that was included in the contract liability balance as of December 31, 2023. The administrative services expenses we incur and the related reimbursements we receive are recorded gross in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Indemnity records a receivable from the Exchange for management fee revenue when the premium is written or assumed from affiliates by the Exchange. Indemnity collects the management fee from the Exchange when the Exchange collects the premiums from the subscribers (policyholders). As the Exchange issues policies almost exclusively with annual terms, cash collections generally occur within one year.


The following table disaggregates revenue by our two performance obligations for the three months ended March 31:
(in thousands) 2025 2024
Management fee revenue - policy issuance and renewal services $ 755,049  $ 665,686 
Management fee revenue - administrative services 17,645  16,934 
Administrative services reimbursement revenue 210,273  191,567 
Total revenue from administrative services $ 227,918  $ 208,501

Note 4. Segment Information

We have one reportable segment: management operations. All segment revenue is derived in the United States, the majority of which is from the subscriber’s agreement between us and the subscribers (policyholders) at the Exchange, our sole customer, as further described in Note 3, "Revenue". Our chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is our Executive Council, which includes our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), Chief Financial Officer, executive vice presidents and certain senior vice presidents reporting directly to the CEO as applicable. The CODM assesses performance for the management operations segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net income, as reported in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Net income is used to monitor budget versus actual results. Total assets as reported in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, all of which are located in the United States, are reviewed by the CODM for purposes of decision making. The accounting policies of our management operations segment are the same as those described in Note 2, "Significant Accounting Policies, of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 as filed with the SEC on February 27, 2025.

The following table presents our management operations segment revenue, significant segment expenses regularly provided to the CODM and net income for the three months ended March 31:

Note 5.  Earnings Per Share
 
Class A and Class B basic earnings per share and Class B diluted earnings per share are calculated under the two-class method. The two-class method allocates earnings to each class of stock based upon its dividend rights.  Class B shares are convertible into Class A shares at a conversion ratio of 2,400 to 1. See Note 11, "Capital Stock".

Class A diluted earnings per share is calculated under the if-converted method, which reflects the conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares. Diluted earnings per share calculations include the dilutive effect of assumed issuance of stock-based awards under compensation plans that have the option to be paid in stock using the treasury stock method.

A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators used in the basic and diluted per-share computations is presented as follows for each class of common stock for the three months ended March 31:

Note 6. Fair Value
 
Financial instruments carried at fair value
Our available-for-sale and equity securities are recorded at fair value, which is the price that would be received to sell the asset in an orderly transaction between willing market participants as of the measurement date.
 
Valuation techniques used to derive the fair value of our available-for-sale and equity securities are based upon observable and unobservable inputs.  Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources.  Unobservable inputs reflect our own assumptions regarding fair market value for these securities.  Financial instruments are categorized based upon the following characteristics or inputs to the valuation techniques:

•Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date.

•Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

•Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
 
Estimates of fair values for our investment portfolio are obtained primarily from a nationally recognized pricing service.  Our Level 1 securities are valued using an exchange traded price provided by the pricing service. Pricing service valuations for Level 2 securities include multiple verifiable, observable inputs including benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data.  Pricing service valuations for Level 3 securities are based upon proprietary models and are used when observable inputs are not available or in illiquid markets.
 
Although virtually all of our prices are obtained from third party sources, we also perform internal pricing reviews, including evaluating the methodology and inputs used to ensure that we determine the proper classification level of the financial instrument and reviewing securities with price changes that vary significantly from current market conditions or independent price sources.  Price variances are investigated and corroborated by market data and transaction volumes. We have reviewed the pricing methodologies of our pricing service as well as other observable inputs and believe that the prices adequately consider market activity in determining fair value. 

In limited circumstances we adjust the price received from the pricing service when, in our judgment, a better reflection of fair value is available based upon corroborating information and our knowledge and monitoring of market conditions such as a disparity in price of comparable securities and/or non-binding broker quotes.  In other circumstances, certain securities are internally priced because prices are not provided by the pricing service.
 
When a price from the pricing service is not available, values are determined by obtaining broker/dealer quotes and/or market comparables. When available, we obtain multiple quotes for the same security. The ultimate value for these securities is determined based upon our best estimate of fair value using corroborating market information. As of March 31, 2025, nearly all of our available-for-sale and equity securities were priced using a third party pricing service.

The below securities have been evaluated for credit impairment using criteria described within Note 2, "Significant Accounting Policies, of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 as filed with the SEC on February 27, 2025. The gross unrealized losses are primarily attributable to changes in interest rates and are not deemed to be credit-related. We do not have the intent to sell these securities and it is more likely than not that we would not be required to sell these securities before the anticipated recovery of the amortized cost basis.

Securities lending transactions
As of March 31, 2025, the estimated fair value of loaned securities was $12.3 million, comprised of $12.2 million and $0.1 million of corporate debt and equity securities, respectively. The related cash collateral received was $12.7 million, which was reinvested in cash equivalents and is included with "Cash and cash equivalents" in our Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. There was no collateral that we are not permitted to sell or repledge and there are no securities lending transactions that extend beyond one year from the reporting date.

If we have to return cash collateral on short notice, we may have difficulty selling investments in a timely manner, be forced to sell them for less than we otherwise would have been able to realize, or both. In addition, in the event of such forced sale, for securities in an unrealized loss position, realized losses would be incurred on securities sold and impairments would be incurred, if there is a need to sell securities prior to recovery, which may negatively impact our financial condition.

Note 8.  Bank Line of Credit
 
We have access to a $100 million bank revolving line of credit with a $25 million letter of credit sublimit that expires on November 1, 2029. As of March 31, 2025, a total of $99.2 million remains available under the facility due to $0.8 million outstanding letters of credit, which reduce the availability for letters of credit to $24.2 million. We had no borrowings outstanding on our line of credit as of March 31, 2025. Investments with a fair value of $119.7 million were pledged as collateral on the line of credit at March 31, 2025. These investments have no trading restrictions and are reported as available-for-sale securities and cash and cash equivalents on our Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as of March 31, 2025. The bank requires compliance with certain covenants, which include leverage ratios and debt restrictions.  We are in compliance with all covenants at March 31, 2025.


Note 9.  Postretirement Benefits
 
Pension plans
Our pension plans consist of a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all employees and an unfunded supplemental employee retirement plan ("SERP") for certain members of executive and senior management. The pension plan provides benefits to covered individuals satisfying certain age and service requirements. The defined benefit pension plan and SERP each provide benefits through a final average earnings formula.

Although we are the sponsor of these postretirement plans and record the funded status of these plans, there are reimbursements between us and the Exchange and its insurance subsidiaries for their allocated share of pension income or cost. These reimbursements represent pension benefits for employees performing administrative services and an allocated share of plan (income) cost for employees in departments that support the administrative functions. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Exchange and its insurance subsidiaries reimbursed us for approximately 61% of the annual defined benefit pension cost and 33% of the annual SERP cost. For our funded pension plan, amounts are settled in cash for the portion of pension (income) cost allocated to the Exchange and its insurance subsidiaries. For our unfunded SERP, we pay the obligations when due and amounts are settled in cash between entities when there is a payout.

Our defined benefit pension plan funding policy is generally to contribute an amount equal to the greater of the target normal cost for the plan year, or the amount necessary to fund the plan to 100%. Accordingly, we made a $39 million contribution in January 2025. The funded pension plan is presented separately from the unfunded plan as a non-current asset on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

Pension plan cost (income) includes the following components for the three months ended March 31:
(in thousands) 2025 2024
Service cost for benefits earned $ 8,862  $ 8,651 
Interest cost on benefit obligation 14,675  13,145 
Expected return on plan assets (20,069) (20,198)
Prior service cost amortization 422  389 
Net actuarial gain amortization (654) (1,751)
Settlement gain (1)
(477) (249)
Pension plan cost (income) (2)
$ 2,759  $ (13)
(1)Settlement accounting was required due to lump sum payments made under the SERP to former officers in 2025 and 2024.
(2)Pension plan cost (income) represents total plan cost (income) before reimbursements between Indemnity and the Exchange and its insurance subsidiaries. The components of pension plan cost (income) other than the service cost components are included in the line item "Other income" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, net of reimbursements between Indemnity and the Exchange and its insurance subsidiaries.

Income tax expense is provided on an interim basis based upon our estimate of the annual effective income tax rate, adjusted each quarter for discrete items. For both the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, our effective tax rate was 20.8%.


Note 11.  Capital Stock
 
Class A and B common stock

There is no provision for conversion of Class A shares into Class B shares, and Class B shares surrendered for conversion cannot be reissued.

Stock repurchases
In 2011, our Board of Directors approved a continuation of the current stock repurchase program of $150 million, with no time limitation.  There were no shares repurchased under this program during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024. We had approximately $17.8 million of repurchase authority remaining under this program at March 31, 2025.

Note 13. Concentrations of Credit Risk
 
Financial instruments could potentially expose us to concentrations of credit risk, including our unsecured receivables from the Exchange. The majority of our revenue and receivables are from the Exchange and its affiliates. See also Note 1, "Nature of Operations". Net management fee amounts and other reimbursements due from the Exchange and its affiliates were $719.9 million and $707.1 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, which includes a current expected credit loss allowance of $0.7 million in both periods.


Note 14.  Commitments and Contingencies
 
We have an agreement with a bank for an agent loan participation program. The maximum amount of loans to be funded through this program is $150 million. We have committed to fund a minimum of 30% of each loan executed through this program. As of March 31, 2025, outstanding loans executed under this agreement totaled $123.2 million, of which our portion of the loans is $49.0 million. Additionally, we have agreed to guarantee a portion of the funding provided by the other participants in the program in the event of default. As of March 31, 2025, our maximum potential amount of future payments on the guaranteed portion is $14.2 million. All loan payments under the participation program are current as of March 31, 2025.

We also have contingent obligations for guarantees related to certain real estate development projects supporting revitalization efforts in our community. As of March 31, 2025, our maximum potential obligation related to guarantees is $8.7 million.

We are involved in litigation arising in the ordinary course of conducting business.  In accordance with current accounting standards for loss contingencies and based upon information currently known to us, we establish reserves for litigation when it is probable that a loss associated with a claim or proceeding has been incurred and the amount of the loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated.  When no amount within the range of loss is a better estimate than any other amount, we accrue the minimum amount of the estimable loss.  To the extent that such litigation against us may have an exposure to a loss in excess of the amount we have accrued, we believe that such excess would not be material to our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.  Legal fees are expensed as incurred.  We believe that our accruals for legal proceedings are appropriate and, individually and in the aggregate, are not expected to be material to our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

We review all litigation on an ongoing basis when making accrual and disclosure decisions.  For certain legal proceedings, we cannot reasonably estimate losses or a range of loss, if any, particularly for proceedings that are in their early stages of development or where the plaintiffs seek indeterminate damages.  Various factors, including, but not limited to, the outcome of potentially lengthy discovery and the resolution of important factual questions, may need to be determined before probability can be established or before a loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated.  If the loss contingency in question is not both probable and reasonably estimable, we do not establish an accrual and the matter will continue to be monitored for any developments that would make the loss contingency both probable and reasonably estimable.  In the event that a legal proceeding results in a substantial judgment against, or settlement by, us, there can be no assurance that any resulting liability or financial commitment would not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND DISCLOSURE RULES
 
See Part I, Item 1. "Financial Statements - Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" contained within this report for a discussion of recently adopted and issued accounting standards and disclosure rules, and the impact on our consolidated financial statements if known.


OPERATING OVERVIEW
 
Overview
We serve as the attorney-in-fact for the subscribers (policyholders) at the Exchange, a reciprocal insurer that writes property and casualty insurance. Our primary function as attorney-in-fact is to perform policy issuance and renewal services on behalf of the subscribers at the Exchange. We also act as attorney-in-fact on behalf of the subscribers at the Exchange, as well as the service provider for the Exchange's insurance subsidiaries, with respect to all administrative services.

The Exchange is a reciprocal insurance exchange, which is an unincorporated association of individuals, partnerships and corporations that agree to insure one another. Each applicant for insurance (a subscriber) to the Exchange signs a subscriber's agreement, which contains an appointment of Indemnity as their attorney-in-fact to transact the business of the Exchange on their behalf. In accordance with the subscriber’s agreement for acting as attorney-in-fact in these two capacities, we retain a management fee calculated as a percentage of the direct and affiliated assumed premiums written by the Exchange.

Our earnings are primarily driven by the management fee revenue generated for the services we provide on behalf of the subscribers at the Exchange. The policy issuance and renewal services we provide are related to the sales, underwriting and issuance of policies. The sales related services we provide include agent compensation and certain sales and advertising support services. Agent compensation includes scheduled commissions to agents based upon premiums written as well as incentive compensation, which is earned by achieving targeted measures. Agent compensation generally comprises approximately two-thirds of our policy issuance and renewal expenses. The underwriting services we provide include underwriting and policy processing. The remaining services we provide include customer service and administrative support. We also provide information technology services that support all the functions listed above. Included in these expenses are allocations of costs for departments that support these policy issuance and renewal functions.

Consistent with its legal structure as a reciprocal insurer, the Exchange does not have any employees or officers. Therefore, it enters into contractual relationships by and through the subscribers' attorney-in-fact. Indemnity serves as the attorney-in-fact on behalf of the subscribers at the Exchange with respect to its administrative services as enumerated in the subscriber's agreement. The Exchange's insurance subsidiaries also utilize Indemnity for these services in accordance with the service agreements between each of the subsidiaries and Indemnity. Claims handling services include costs incurred in the claims process, including the adjustment, investigation, defense, recording and payment functions. Life insurance management services include costs incurred in the management and processing of life insurance business. Investment management services are related to investment trading activity, accounting and all other functions attributable to the investment of funds. In 2024, approximately 70% of the administrative services expenses were entirely attributable to the respective administrative functions (claims handling, life insurance management and investment management), while the remaining 30% of these expenses were allocations of costs for departments that support these administrative functions. The expenses we incur and related reimbursements we receive for administrative services are presented gross in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. The subscriber's agreement and service agreements provide for reimbursement of amounts incurred for these services to Indemnity. Reimbursements are settled at cost on a monthly basis. State insurance regulations require that intercompany service agreements and any material amendments be approved in advance by the state insurance department.

Our results of operations are tied to the growth and financial condition of the Exchange as the Exchange is our sole customer, and our earnings are largely generated from management fees based on the direct and affiliated assumed premiums written by the Exchange.
24

The Exchange generates revenue by insuring preferred and standard risks, with personal lines comprising 71% of the 2024 direct and affiliated assumed written premiums and commercial lines comprising the remaining 29%. The principal personal lines products are private passenger automobile and homeowners. The principal commercial lines products are commercial multi-peril, commercial automobile and workers compensation.

Financial Overview
Three months ended March 31,
(dollars in thousands, except per share data) 2025 2024 % Change
(Unaudited)
Operating income $ 151,376  $ 138,812  9.1  %
Total investment income 19,536  15,079  29.6 
Other income 3,834  3,411  12.4 
Income before income taxes 174,746  157,302  11.1 
Income tax expense 36,329  32,750  10.9 
Net income $ 138,417  $ 124,552  11.1  %
Net income per share – diluted $ 2.65  $ 2.38  11.1  %


Operating income increased in the first quarter of 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. Management fee revenue for policy issuance and renewal services increased 13.4% to $755.0 million in the first quarter of 2025. Management fee revenue is based upon the management fee rate we charge and the direct and affiliated assumed premiums written by the Exchange. The management fee rate was 25% for both 2025 and 2024. The direct and affiliated assumed premiums written by the Exchange increased 13.9% to $3.1 billion in the first quarter of 2025, compared to the same period in 2024.

Cost of operations for policy issuance and renewal services increased 14.1% to $627.8 million in the first quarter of 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to higher scheduled commissions driven by direct and affiliated assumed written premium growth, as well as increased agent incentive compensation due to improved profitability, technology costs and employee compensation.

Management fee revenue for administrative services increased 4.2% to $17.6 million in the first quarter of 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. The administrative services reimbursement revenue and corresponding cost of operations increased both total operating revenue and total operating expenses by $210.3 million in the first quarter of 2025, but had no net impact on operating income.

Total investment income increased $4.5 million in the first quarter of 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to an increase in net investment income and lower impairment losses, partially offset by a decrease in realized and unrealized investment gains.

General Conditions and Trends Affecting Our Business
Economic conditions
Unfavorable changes in economic conditions, including declining consumer confidence, inflation, high unemployment and the threat of recession, among others, may lead the Exchange’s customers to modify coverage, not renew policies or even cancel policies, which could adversely affect the premium revenue of the Exchange, and consequently our management fee revenue.  Elevated inflation, supply chain disruptions or changes in tariff policies could impact the Exchange's operations and our management fees. In particular, unanticipated increased inflation costs including medical cost inflation, building material cost inflation, auto repair and replacement cost inflation and social inflation may impact adequacy of estimated loss reserves and future premium rates of the Exchange. If any of these items impacted the financial condition or operations of the Exchange, it could have an impact on our financial results. See Financial Condition and Liquidity and Capital Resources contained within this report, as well as Part I. Item 1A. "Risk Factors" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2025 for a discussion of the potential impacts to our operations or those of the Exchange.


25

Financial market volatility
Our portfolio of fixed maturity and equity security investments is subject to market volatility, especially in periods of instability in the worldwide financial markets. Net investment income is impacted by the general level of interest rates, which impact reinvested cash flow from the portfolio and business operations. Depending upon market conditions, considerable fluctuation could occur in the fair value of our investment portfolio and reported total investment income, which could have an adverse impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Various ongoing geopolitical events, the uncertain tariff, inflationary and interest rate environment and a potential economic slowdown could have a significant impact on the global financial markets with the potential for future losses and/or impairments on our investment portfolio.
26

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 

Management fee revenue
We have two performance obligations in the subscriber’s agreement, providing policy issuance and renewal services and acting as attorney-in-fact for the subscribers at the Exchange, as well as the service provider for the Exchange's insurance subsidiaries with respect to all administrative services. We retain management fees for acting as the attorney-in-fact for the subscribers at the Exchange in these two capacities, and allocate our revenues between our performance obligations.

The management fee is calculated by multiplying all direct and affiliated assumed premiums written by the Exchange by the management fee rate, which is determined by our Board of Directors at least annually.  The management fee rate was set at 25% for both 2025 and 2024.  Changes in the management fee rate can affect our revenue and net income significantly. The transaction price, including management fee revenue and administrative services reimbursement revenue, includes variable consideration and is allocated based on the estimated standalone selling prices developed using industry information and other available information for similar services. We update the transaction price and the related allocation at least annually based upon the most recent information available or more frequently if there have been significant changes in any components considered in the transaction price. Our current transaction price allocation review resulted in a minor change in the allocation between the two performance obligations in 2025 compared to prior years, which did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

The following table presents the allocation and disaggregation of revenue for our two performance obligations for the three months ended March 31:

(1)A constraining estimate of variable consideration exists related to the potential for management fees to be returned if a policy were to be cancelled mid-term. Management fees are returned to the Exchange when policies are cancelled mid-term and unearned premiums are refunded. 
(2)Management fee revenue - administrative services is recognized over time as the services are provided. See Part I, Item 1. "Financial Statements - Note 3, Revenue, of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" contained within this report.





27

Direct and affiliated assumed premiums written by the Exchange
Direct and affiliated assumed premiums include premiums written directly by the Exchange and premiums assumed from its wholly owned property and casualty subsidiaries. Direct and affiliated assumed premiums written by the Exchange increased 13.9% to $3.1 billion in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024, primarily driven by increased personal lines and commercial multi-peril premiums written.  Year-over-year policies in force for all lines of business increased 3.2% in the first quarter of 2025 compared to 7.1% in the first quarter of 2024.  The year-over-year average premium per policy for all lines of business increased 13.2% at March 31, 2025 compared to 10.6% at March 31, 2024.

Premiums generated from new business decreased 15.0% to $382 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared the same period in 2024, primarily driven by decreased premiums written in the personal auto and homeowners lines. Contributing to this change was a 22.4% decrease in new business policies written, partially offset by a 14.3% increase in year-over-year average premium per policy on new business at March 31, 2025. Premiums generated from new business increased 32.4% to $449 million in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, primarily driven by increased premiums written in the commercial multi-peril, personal auto and homeowners lines. Contributing to this change was a 11.1% increase in new business policies written and a 14.0% increase in year-over-year average premium per policy on new business at March 31, 2024.

Premiums generated from renewal business increased 19.5% to $2.7 billion in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024 and increased 16.7% to $2.3 billion in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023.  Underlying the trend in renewal business premiums in both periods was an 13.2% increase in year-over-year average premium per policy at March 31, 2025, and 9.9% at March 31, 2024, as well as an increase in year-over-year policies in force of 5.6% and 5.1% in the first quarters of 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Personal lines – Total personal lines premiums written increased 14.5% to $2.1 billion in the first quarter of 2025, compared to 20.6% in the first quarter of 2024, driven by a 14.6% increase in total personal lines year-over-year average premium per policy and a 3.1% increase in total personal lines policies in force.

Commercial lines – Total commercial lines premiums written increased 12.4% to $982 million in the first quarter of 2025, compared to 15.6% in the first quarter of 2024, driven by a 9.4% increase in total commercial lines year-over-year average premium per policy and a 3.8% increase in total commercial lines policies in force.

Future trends-premium revenue – Through a careful agency selection and monitoring process, the Exchange plans to continue efforts to utilize its agency force to increase market penetration in existing operating territories to contribute to future growth.

Changes in premium levels attributable to the growth in policies in force and rate changes affect the profitability of the Exchange and have a direct bearing on our management fee revenue. Future premiums could be impacted by potential changes in regulation, inflationary trends and tariff policies, among others. The Exchange's pricing actions taken in 2024 have contributed to its increased average premium per policy at March 31, 2025. See also Part I. Item 1A. "Risk Factors" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2025.

Operating income - policy issuance and renewal services $ 133,731 $ 121,878 9.7  %


Policy issuance and renewal services
The management fee revenue allocated for providing policy issuance and renewal services was 24.37% and 24.40% of the direct and affiliated assumed premiums written by the Exchange for the three month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.  This portion of the management fee is recognized as revenue when the policy is issued or renewed because it is at that time that the services we provide are substantially complete and the executed insurance policy is transferred to the customer.  The increase in management fee revenue for policy issuance and renewal services was driven by the increase in the direct and affiliated assumed premiums written by the Exchange discussed previously.

Service agreement revenue
Service agreement revenue primarily consists of service charges we collect from subscribers (policyholders) for providing multiple payment plans on policies written by the Exchange and its property and casualty subsidiaries and also includes late payment and policy reinstatement fees.  The service charges are fixed dollar amounts per billed installment.  Service agreement revenue also includes fees received from the Exchange for the use of shared office space. The decrease in service agreement revenue reflects the continued shift to payment plans that do not incur service charges or offer a premium discount for certain payment methods.

Commissions – Commissions increased $61.1 million in the first quarter of 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, primarily driven by the growth in direct and affiliated assumed written premium and, to a lesser extent, an increase in agent incentive compensation. The estimated agent incentive payouts at March 31, 2025 are based on actual underwriting results for the two prior years and current year-to-date actual results and forecasted results for the remainder of 2025. The profitability component of agent incentive compensation increased due to improved actual and forecasted loss ratios for the three-year period ended 2025 compared to the three-year period ended 2024.

Non-commission expense – Non-commission expense increased $16.3 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024. Underwriting and policy processing expense increased $3.1 million primarily due to increased personnel costs. Information technology costs increased $11.3 million primarily due to an increase in hardware and software costs and personnel costs and a decrease in capitalized professional fees related to technology initiatives. Customer service costs increased $1.6 million primarily due to increased personnel costs and credit card processing fees. Personnel costs in the first quarter of 2025 were impacted by increased compensation including higher estimated costs for incentive plan awards compared to 2024.

Administrative services
The management fee revenue allocated to administrative services was 0.63% and 0.60% of the direct and affiliated assumed premiums written by the Exchange for the three month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. This portion of the management fee is recognized as revenue over a four-year period representing the time over which the services are provided. We also report reimbursed costs as revenues, which are recognized monthly as services are provided. The administrative services expenses we incur and the related reimbursements we receive are recorded gross in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Cost of administrative services
Consistent with its legal structure as a reciprocal insurer, the Exchange does not have any employees or officers. Therefore, it enters into contractual relationships by and through the subscribers' attorney-in-fact. Indemnity serves as the attorney-in-fact on behalf of the subscribers at Exchange with respect to its administrative services as enumerated in the subscriber's agreement. The Exchange's insurance subsidiaries also utilize Indemnity for these services in accordance with the service agreements between each of the subsidiaries and Indemnity. The subscriber's agreement and service agreements provide for reimbursement of amounts incurred for these services to Indemnity. Reimbursements due from the Exchange and its insurance subsidiaries are recorded as a receivable and settled at cost.

Total investment income
A summary of the results of our investment operations is as follows for the three months ended March 31:
2025 2024 % Change
(dollars in thousands) (Unaudited)
Net investment income $ 19,948  $ 15,903  25.4  %
Net realized and unrealized investment gains 502  1,853  (72.9)
Net impairment losses recognized in earnings (914) (2,677) 65.9 
Total investment income $ 19,536  $ 15,079  29.6  %

Net investment income
Net investment income includes interest and dividends on our fixed maturity and equity security portfolios and the results of our limited partnership investments, net of investment expenses. Net investment income increased $4.0 million in the first quarter of 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to an increase in bond and cash and cash equivalent income driven by higher average holdings and bond yields, higher equity in earnings of limited partnerships and an increase in agent loan interest income. Net investment income includes limited partnership earnings of $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2025, compared to $0.5 million for the same period in 2024.

Net realized and unrealized investment gains
A breakdown of our net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) is as follows for the three months ended March 31:
(in thousands) 2025 2024
Securities sold: (Unaudited)
Available-for-sale securities $ (262) $ (262)
Equity securities 101  67 
Change in fair value on remaining equity securities 658  2,048 
Miscellaneous
Net realized and unrealized investment gains
$ 502  $ 1,853 


Net realized and unrealized gains of $0.5 million during the first quarter of 2025 were primarily due to market value adjustments on equity securities, partially offset by losses on disposals of available-for-sale securities. Net realized and unrealized gains of $1.9 million during the same period in 2024 were primarily due to market value adjustments on equity securities.

Net impairment losses recognized in earnings
Net impairment losses of $0.9 million in the first quarter of 2025 include current expected credit losses on other loans receivable and agent loans of $0.5 million as well as credit-related impairments on available-for-sale securities of $0.4 million. Net impairments losses of $2.7 million during the same period in 2024 primarily included $2.2 million of current expected credit losses recognized on held-to-maturity securities as well as intent to sell and credit-related impairments on available-for-sale securities of $0.3.

Financial Condition of Erie Insurance Exchange
Serving in the capacity of attorney-in-fact for the subscribers at the Exchange, we are dependent on the growth and financial condition of the Exchange, who is our sole customer. The strength of the Exchange and its wholly owned subsidiaries is rated annually by A.M. Best through assessing its financial stability and ability to pay claims. The ratings are generally based upon factors relevant to policyholders and are not directed toward return to investors. The Exchange and each of its property and casualty insurance subsidiaries are rated A+ "Superior", the second highest financial strength rating, which is assigned to companies that have achieved superior overall performance when compared to the standards established by A.M. Best and have a superior ability to meet obligations to policyholders over the long term. As of December 31, 2024, only approximately 13% of insurance groups, in which the Exchange is included, are rated A+ or higher. On August 8, 2024, while our A+ "Superior" rating was reaffirmed, the financial strength rating outlook was revised from stable to negative. The outlook was primarily driven by the Exchange’s recent profitability challenges from rising loss cost pressures and increased weather-related activity, and the related surplus impact. The outlook acknowledged that while actions have been implemented to address the challenges, the timing lag related to the most significant action, rate increases, could result in interim challenges until such time as the rate increases are earned and the full beneficial impact is realized.

The financial statements of the Exchange are prepared in accordance with statutory accounting principles prescribed by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Financial statements prepared under statutory accounting principles focus on the solvency of the insurer and generally provide a more conservative approach than under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Statutory direct written premiums of the Exchange and its wholly owned property and casualty insurance subsidiaries grew 13.9% to $3.1 billion in the first three months of 2025 compared to the first three months of 2024. These premiums, along with investment income, are the major sources of cash that support the operations of the Exchange. Policyholders’ surplus determined under statutory accounting principles was $9.2 billion and $9.3 billion at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Exchange and its wholly owned property and casualty insurance subsidiaries' year-over-year policy retention ratio continues to be high at 89.9% at March 31, 2025 and 90.4% at December 31, 2024.

We have prepared our consolidated financial statements considering the financial strength of the Exchange based on its A.M. Best rating and strong level of surplus. See Part I. Item 1A. "Risk Factors" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2025 for possible outcomes that could impact that determination.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We continue to monitor the sufficiency of our liquidity and capital resources given the potential impact of current economic conditions, including the uncertain tariff, inflationary and interest rate environment. While we did not see a significant impact on our sources or uses of cash in the first quarter of 2025, future market disruptions could occur which may affect our liquidity position. If our normal operating and investing cash activities were to become insufficient to meet future funding requirements, we believe we have sufficient access to liquidity through our cash position, diverse liquid marketable securities and our $100 million bank revolving line of credit that does not expire until November 2029. See broader discussions of potential risks to our operations in the Operating Overview contained within this report and Part I. Item 1A. "Risk Factors" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2025.

Sources and Uses of Cash
Liquidity is a measure of a company’s ability to generate sufficient cash flows to meet the short- and long-term cash requirements of its business operations and growth needs.  Our liquidity requirements have been met primarily by funds generated from management fee revenue and income from investments.  Cash provided from these sources is used primarily to fund the costs of our management operations including commissions, salaries and wages, pension plans, share repurchases, dividends to shareholders, the purchase and development of information technology, and other capital expenditures.  See Part I, Item 1. "Financial Statements - Note 9, Postretirement Benefits, of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" contained within this report for the funding policy and related contribution for our defined benefit pension plan. We expect that our operating cash needs will be met by funds generated from operations. Cash in excess of our operating needs is primarily invested in investment grade fixed maturities. As part of our liquidity review, we regularly evaluate our capital needs based on current and projected results and consider the potential impacts to our liquidity, borrowing capacity, financial covenants and capital availability.

We maintain relationships and cash balances at diversified and well-capitalized financial institutions and have established processes to monitor them. We believe that our current cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet our current and future cash requirements.

Volatility in the financial markets presents challenges to us as we do occasionally access our investment portfolio as a source of cash.  Some of our fixed income investments, despite being publicly traded, may be illiquid. Additionally, if we require significant amounts of cash on short notice in excess of anticipated cash requirements, or if we are required to return cash collateral in connection with our securities lending program, we may have difficulty selling investments in a timely manner, or be forced to sell at deep discounts. We believe we have sufficient liquidity to meet our needs from sources other than the liquidation of securities.

34

Cash flow activities
The following table provides condensed cash flow information as follows for the three months ended March 31:
(in thousands) 2025 2024
(Unaudited)
Net cash provided by operating activities $ 118,118  $ 87,193 
Net cash used in investing activities (97,760) (26,999)
Net cash used in financing activities (58,376) (59,377)
Net (decrease) increase in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash
$ (38,018) $ 817 

 
Net cash provided by operating activities was $118.1 million in the first three months of 2025, compared to $87.2 million for the same period in 2024. Increased cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to an increase in management fees received of $96.3 million driven by growth in direct and affiliated assumed premiums written by the Exchange. This was partially offset by an increase in cash paid for agent commissions of $55.5 million driven by premium growth, and increases in incentive compensation paid to agents of $6.6 million and pension and employee benefits paid of $6.1 million due to higher pension contributions. Pension contributions totaled $39.0 million in 2025 compared to $33.0 million in 2024.

Net cash used in investing activities was $97.8 million in the first three months of 2025, compared to $27.0 million for the same period in 2024. Increased cash used in investing activities was primarily due to an increase in purchases of available-for-sale securities of $53.8 million and loans to agents and others of $10.1 million.

Net cash used in financing activities was $58.4 million in the first three months of 2025, compared to $59.4 million for the same period in 2024, primarily due to dividends paid to shareholders. We increased both our Class A and Class B shareholder regular quarterly dividends by 7.1% for 2025, compared to 2024. There are no regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends to our shareholders.

Capital Outlook
We regularly prepare forecasts evaluating the current and future cash requirements for both normal and extreme risk events. Should an extreme risk event result in a cash requirement exceeding normal cash flows, we have the ability to meet our future funding requirements through various alternatives available to us.

Outside of our normal operating and investing cash activities, future funding requirements could be met through: 1) unrestricted and unpledged cash and cash equivalents, which totaled approximately $232.8 million at March 31, 2025, 2) $100 million available bank revolving line of credit, and 3) liquidation of unrestricted and unpledged assets held in our investment portfolio, including equity securities and investment grade bonds which totaled approximately $892.7 million at March 31, 2025.  Volatility in the financial markets could impair our ability to sell certain fixed income securities or cause such securities to sell at deep discounts.  Additionally, we have the ability to curtail or modify discretionary cash outlays such as those related to shareholder dividends and share repurchase activities. See Part I, Item 1. "Financial Statements - Note 8, Bank Line of Credit, of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for additional information related to our bank revolving line of credit.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have entered into certain contingent obligations for guarantees. See Part I, Item 1. "Financial Statements - Note 14, Commitments and Contingencies, of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" contained within this report for additional information. We do not believe that these obligations will have a material current or future effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
35

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
 
We make estimates and assumptions that have a significant effect on the amounts and disclosures reported in the consolidated financial statements.  The most significant estimates relate to investment valuation and retirement benefit plans for employees.  While management believes its estimates are appropriate, the ultimate amounts may differ from estimates provided.  Our most critical accounting estimates are described in Item 7. "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" for the year ended December 31, 2024 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2025.  See Part I, Item 1. "Financial Statements - Note 6, Fair Value, of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" contained within this report for additional information on our valuation of investments.


ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
Our exposure to market risk is primarily related to fluctuations in interest rates and prices. Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk resulting from changes in interest rates, prices and other risk exposures for the year ended December 31, 2024 are included in Item 7A. "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2025.

The uncertain tariff, inflationary and interest rate environment, ongoing geopolitical risks and a potential economic slowdown may create future volatility; however, there have been no material changes that impacted our portfolio or reshaped our periodic investment reviews of asset allocations during the three months ended March 31, 2025. We continue to closely monitor the economic environment and financial markets and will take appropriate measures, when necessary, to minimize potential risk exposure to our cash and investment balances. For a recent discussion of conditions surrounding our investment portfolio, see the "Operating Overview", "Results of Operations" and "Financial Condition" discussions contained in Part I, Item 2. "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contained within this report.


ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
We carried out an evaluation, with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
 
Our management evaluated, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, any change in our internal control over financial reporting and determined there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2025 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Erie Indemnity Company ("Indemnity") was named as a defendant in a complaint filed on August 24, 2021, by alleged subscribers of the Erie Insurance Exchange (the "Exchange") in the Court of Common Pleas Civil Division of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania captioned TROY STEPHENSON, CHRISTINA STEPHENSON, SUSAN RUBEL and STEVEN BARNETT, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated (Plaintiffs) v. Erie Indemnity Company (Defendant).

The complaint seeks relief for alleged breaches of fiduciary duty by Indemnity in connection with the setting of the management fee it receives, in accordance with the terms of the Subscribers Agreement executed between Indemnity and all policyholders of the Exchange, as compensation for acting as the attorney-in-fact in the management of the Exchange. The relief sought is for the period beginning two years prior to the date of the filing of the complaint and continuing through 2021.

The complaint seeks (i) a finding that Indemnity has breached its fiduciary duties; (ii) an award of damages in an amount to be determined at trial; and (iii) such other relief, including disgorgement of profits or other injunctive relief, that the Court deems just and proper.

Service of the complaint was effectuated on September 20, 2021. A Notice of Removal to the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania was filed on October 20, 2021. On November 2, 2021, Plaintiffs filed a Notice of Voluntary Dismissal. As a result, the action was dismissed without prejudice.

On December 6, 2021, another Complaint was filed in the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania captioned ERIE INSURANCE EXCHANGE, an unincorporated association, by TROY STEPHENSON, CHRISTINA STEPHENSON and STEVEN BARNETT, trustees ad litem, and alternatively, ERIE INSURANCE EXCHANGE, by TROY STEPHENSON, CHRISTINA STEPHENSON and STEVEN BARNETT, (Plaintiff), v. ERIE INDEMNITY COMPANY, (Defendant).

This most recent complaint has the same allegation of breach of fiduciary duty by Indemnity in connection with the setting of the management fee it receives, in accordance with the terms of the Subscribers Agreement executed between Indemnity and all policyholders of the Exchange, as compensation for acting as the attorney-in-fact in the management of the Exchange.

This most recent complaint seeks the same relief, specifically, (i) a finding that Indemnity has breached its fiduciary duties; (ii) an award of damages in an amount to be determined at trial; and (iii) such other relief, including disgorgement of profits or other injunctive relief, that the Court deems just and proper.

A Notice of Removal to the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania was filed on January 27, 2022. Indemnity intends to vigorously defend against all of the allegations and requests for relief in the complaint.
By Memorandum Opinion and Order dated September 28, 2022, the Court granted the Motion for Remand and directed the case be remanded to the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. On September 30, 2022, Indemnity filed a Motion to Stay the Remand Order pending an appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. On October 3, 2022, the Court granted the Stay. On October 11, 2022, Indemnity filed a Petition for Permission to Appeal the Remand Order with the Third Circuit. By Order dated November 7, 2022, a three judge panel of the Court denied the Petition to Appeal.

On November 21, 2022, Indemnity filed a Petition for Rehearing requesting that the Third Circuit permit the appeal. By Order dated January 9, 2023, the Court granted the petition for rehearing and vacated the prior Order of October 7, 2022, denying permission to appeal. On April 20, 2023, argument was held before a three-judge panel of the Third Circuit. By Opinion dated May 22, 2023, the Court affirmed the decision of the District Court finding that there was no basis for federal court jurisdiction and that the matter had been properly remanded to state court. On June 5, 2023, Indemnity filed a Petition for Panel Rehearing or Rehearing En Banc. By Order dated June 22, 2023, the Court denied the Petition. The United States District Court thereafter extended its stay of the issuance of the remand order through the conclusion of any proceedings in the United States Supreme Court challenging the decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit that no federal jurisdiction exists in this case.

On October 20, 2023, Indemnity filed a Petition for Writ of Certiorari with the Supreme Court of the United States. The Petition sought a determination from the Court that the lower courts improperly denied federal jurisdiction. By order dated February 26, 2024, the United States Supreme Court denied Indemnity's Petition for Writ of Certiorari.

37

Separately, Indemnity filed a Complaint in Federal Court to invoke certain provisions of the “All Writs Act” and the “Anti-Injunction Act.” By filing this complaint, Indemnity seeks to protect the federal court’s prior binding, final judgments in favor of Indemnity and thereby foreclose further litigation of the claims and issues pertaining to the compensation practices that were the subject of the prior judgments. After the denial of certiorari, the district court, by Opinion and Order dated February 28, 2024, granted Indemnity’s motion for a preliminary injunction under the All Writs Act after determining that the gravamen of the plaintiff’s state court action “is the same” as two actions previously dismissed in federal court, that Indemnity would be irreparably harmed if it is forced to relitigate those same issues in state court, plaintiffs had a full and fair opportunity to litigate the same issues in prior litigation, and that an injunction would serve the public interest. The Court’s order preliminarily enjoined the named plaintiffs from pursuing the Erie Ins. Exch. v. Erie Indem. Co. action and enjoined the state court from conducting further proceedings in that action. The court ordered Indemnity to file a motion to convert the preliminary injunction into a permanent injunction. In the meantime, plaintiffs filed a Notice of Appeal with the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. As a result of the filing of the appeal, the trial court stayed the order issuing an injunction.

The appeal has been briefed and oral argument was held on October 29, 2024, before a three-judge panel of the Third Circuit. The parties are currently awaiting a decision.

Indemnity intends to vigorously defend the district court’s order on appeal and to otherwise defend against all allegations and requests for relief sought by plaintiffs.

For additional information on contingencies, see Part I, Item 1. "Financial Statements - Note 14, Commitment and Contingencies, of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements".
