NOTES TO 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 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 its 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 us as their common attorney-in-fact to transact certain business on their behalf.  Pursuant to the subscriber's agreement for acting as attorney-in-fact in these two capacities, we earn 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 to 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 additional commissions and bonuses to agents, which are 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.

By virtue of 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 an attorney-in-fact. Indemnity serves as the attorney-in-fact on behalf of the Exchange with respect to its administrative services. 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 would 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 its management fee and cost reimbursements. See Note 12, "Concentrations of Credit Risk".

Coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic
In March 2020, the outbreak of the coronavirus ("COVID-19") was declared a global pandemic and pandemic conditions have created an inflationary environment which may impact adequacy of estimated loss reserves and future premium rates of the Exchange. The uncertainty resulting from COVID-19 and subsequent resulting conditions continues to evolve and the ultimate impact and duration remains uncertain at this time. We are unable to predict the duration or extent of the business disruption or the financial impact given the ongoing development of the pandemic and its impact on the economy and financial markets.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited 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. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 24, 2022.

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.

Note 3. Revenue

The majority of our revenue is derived from the subscriber’s agreement between us and the subscribers (policyholders) at the Exchange. Pursuant to the subscriber’s agreement, we earn 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 Exchange, as well as the service provider for its 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.

The Exchange, by virtue of its legal structure as a reciprocal insurer, does not have any employees or officers. Therefore, it enters into contractual relationships by and through an attorney-in-fact. Indemnity serves as the attorney-in-fact on behalf of the Exchange with respect to its administrative services in accordance with 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 Statements of Financial Position. During the three and nine months ending September 30, 2022, we recognized revenue of $ 7.4 million and $ 30.1 million, respectively, that was included in the contract liabilities balance as of December 31, 2021. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized revenue of $ 7.8 million and $ 31.7 million, respectively, that was included in the contract liabilities balance as of December 31, 2020. The administrative services expenses we incur and the related reimbursements we receive are recorded gross in the Statements of Operations.

Indemnity records a receivable from the Exchange for management fee revenue when the premium is written or assumed 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 with annual terms only, cash collections generally occur within one year.


The following table disaggregates revenue by our two performance obligations:
Three months ended September 30, Nine months ended September 30,
(in thousands) 2022 2021 2022 2021
Management fee revenue - policy issuance and renewal services $ 551,666 $ 504,891 $ 1,584,213 $ 1,462,880
Management fee revenue - administrative services 14,657 14,471 43,446 43,985
Administrative services reimbursement revenue 168,653 162,410 492,655 473,133
Total administrative services revenue $ 183,310 $ 176,881 $ 536,101 $ 517,118

Note 4. 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 10, "Capital Stock".

Class A diluted earnings per share are 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:

Note 5. 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 September 30, 2022, nearly all of our available-for-sale and equity securities were priced using a third party pricing service.

Note 7. Borrowing Arrangements
Term loan credit facility
In 2016, we entered into a credit agreement for a $ 100 million senior secured draw term loan credit facility ("Credit Facility") for the acquisition of real property and construction of an office building that now serves as part of our principal headquarters. On January 1, 2019, the Credit Facility converted to a fully-amortized term loan with monthly payments of principal and interest at a fixed rate of 4.35 % over a period of 28 years. In May 2022, we repaid the remaining $ 93.2 million balance on the term loan. In conjunction with the payoff, pledged collateral was released and we accelerated amortization of $ 0.2 million related to unamortized loan origination and commitment fees which is included in interest expense in the Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Bank line of credit
In October 2021, we entered into a new credit agreement with PNC Bank National Association to provide for a $ 100 million bank revolving line of credit with a $ 25 million letter of credit sublimit that expires on October 29, 2026. In May 2022, we borrowed on the line of credit to support the payoff of the term loan. As of September 30, 2022, outstanding borrowings on the line of credit had been repaid and a total of $ 99.1 million remains available under the facility due to $ 0.9 million outstanding letters of credit, which reduce availability for letters of credit to $ 24.1 million. Investments with a fair value of $ 108.7 million were pledged as collateral on the line of credit at September 30, 2022. These investments have no trading restrictions and are reported as available-for-sale securities and cash and cash equivalents on our Statement of Financial Position as of September 30, 2022. The bank requires compliance with certain covenants, which include leverage ratios and debt restrictions, for our line of credit.  We are in compliance with all covenants at September 30, 2022.

Note 8. 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 for certain members of executive and senior management. Although we are the sponsor of these postretirement plans and record the funded status of these plans, the Exchange and its subsidiaries reimburse us for approximately 57 % of the annual benefit expense of these plans, which represents pension benefits for employees performing administrative services and their allocated share of costs for employees in departments that support the administrative functions.

Our 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 $ 25 million contribution during the third quarter of 2022.

The cost of our pension plans are as follows:
Three months ended September 30, Nine months ended September 30,
(in thousands) 2022 2021 2022 2021
Service cost for benefits earned $ 12,560 $ 13,260 $ 37,681 $ 39,780

Pension plan cost (1)
$ 11,053 $ 14,281 $ 33,159 $ 42,843
(1) The components of pension plan costs other than the service cost component are included in the line item "Other income (expense)" in the Statements of Operations after reimbursements from the Exchange and its subsidiaries.


Note 9. Income Taxes
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 the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, our effective tax rate was 20.7 % and 20.9 %, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, our effective tax rate was 20.9 % and 20.8 %, respectively.


Note 10. Capital Stock
Class A and B common stock
Holders of Class B shares may, at their option, convert their shares into Class A shares at the rate of 2,400 Class A shares per Class B share.  There were no shares of Class B common stock converted into Class A common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021. We had approximately $ 17.8 million of repurchase authority remaining under this program at September 30, 2022.

Note 12. Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments could potentially expose us to concentrations of credit risk, including unsecured receivables from the Exchange. A large 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 $ 544.4 million and $ 479.1 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, which includes a current expected credit loss allowance of $ 0.5 million in both periods.


Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies

In 2020, we entered into an agreement with a bank for the establishment of a loan participation program for agent loans. The maximum amount of loans to be funded through this program is $ 100 million. We have committed to fund a minimum of 30 % of each loan executed through this program. As of September 30, 2022, loans executed under this agreement totaled $ 47.3 million, of which our portion of the loans is $ 16.3 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 September 30, 2022, our maximum potential amount of future payments on the guaranteed portion is $ 5.8 million. All loan payments under the participation program are current as of September 30, 2022.

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 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 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 the financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

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 Exchange, as well as the service provider for its 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 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. Pursuant to the subscriber’s agreement for acting as attorney-in-fact in these two capacities, we earn 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 to the Exchange. The policy issuance and renewal services we provide to 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 additional commissions and bonuses to agents, which are 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.

By virtue of 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 an attorney-in-fact. Indemnity serves as the attorney-in-fact on behalf of the Exchange with respect to its administrative services. 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 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. The Exchange generates revenue by insuring preferred and standard risks, with personal lines comprising 70% of the 2021 direct and affiliated assumed written premiums and commercial lines comprising the remaining 30%.  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.

Coronavirus ("COVID-19") Pandemic and Economic Uncertainty
Uncertainty resulting from current events, including but not limited to, the ongoing coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic, resulting continued supply chain disruptions and certain geopolitical concerns, have influenced various economic factors, including an elevated inflationary environment and rising interest rates in recent months. As these events continue to evolve, the ultimate impact and duration remain uncertain at this time.

While we were not required to close our physical locations under the state mandated closure of nonessential services during the COVID-19 pandemic, out of concern for the health and safety of our employees, over 90% of our workforce had been working remotely from March 2020 through April 2022. We have had no significant interruption to our core business processes or systems to date. We have had no significant changes to our financial close or reporting processes or related internal controls, nor do we anticipate any significant future challenges at this time. We have a dedicated team responsible for the development and implementation of a return to office plan. We began a phased return of our workforce in April 2022 and expect to continue reopening our offices through the remainder of 2022. Consistent with our process from the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, we will prioritize the health and safety of our employees and adjust when and where appropriate.

Operating income increased in both the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the same periods in 2021, as growth in operating revenue outpaced the growth in operating expenses. Management fee revenue for policy issuance and renewal services increased 9.3% to $551.7 million in the third quarter of 2022 and 8.3% to $1.6 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. 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 2022 and 2021. The direct and affiliated assumed premiums written by the Exchange increased 9.4% to $2.3 billion in the third quarter of 2022 and increased 8.4% to $6.5 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same periods in 2021.

Cost of operations for policy issuance and renewal services increased 8.3% to $466.1 million and 6.6% to $1.4 billion in the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021, primarily due to higher scheduled commissions driven by direct and affiliated assumed written premium growth, as well as increased professional fees and technology investments.

Management fee revenue for administrative services increased 1.3% to $14.7 million and decreased 1.2% to $43.4 million in the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021. The administrative services reimbursement revenue and corresponding cost of operations increased both total operating revenue and total operating expenses by $168.7 million in the third quarter of 2022 and $492.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, but had no net impact on operating income.

Total investment income decreased $21.2 million in the third quarter of 2022 and $54.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the same periods in 2021. The results from both periods were primarily due to a decrease in net investment income as well as net realized and unrealized investment losses in 2022 compared to net gains in 2021.


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.  The extent to which economic conditions could impact the Exchange's operations and our management fee was exacerbated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Further, pandemic conditions and government responses to these conditions have created an inflationary environment in recent months. In particular, unanticipated increased inflation costs including medical cost inflation, building material cost inflation, auto repair and replacement cost inflation, and tort issues may impact adequacy of estimated loss reserves and future premium rates of the Exchange. The extent and duration of the impact to economic conditions remain uncertain as the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent resulting conditions continue to evolve. 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, 2021 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 24, 2022 for a discussion of the potential impacts to our operations or those of the Exchange, including pandemics.

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. Over time, net investment income could also be impacted by volatility and by the general level of interest rates, which impact reinvested cash flow from the portfolio and business operations. Depending upon market
27

conditions, which are unpredictable and remain uncertain, 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 financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. Response to the COVID-19 pandemic and various recent geopolitical events have had a significant impact on the global financial markets. The value of our invested assets could be adversely impacted and there is potential for future losses and/or impairments on our investment portfolio due to continued supply chain disruptions and the resulting conditions including further inflationary pressures and rising interest rates.


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 Exchange, as well as the service provider for its insurance subsidiaries, with respect to all administrative services. We earn 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%, the maximum rate, for both 2022 and 2021.  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 most recent transaction price allocation review resulted in a minor change in the allocation percentages between the two performance obligations, but does not have a material impact on our financial statements.

The following table presents the allocation and disaggregation of revenue for our two performance obligations:

(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 Financial Statements" contained within this report.
28

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 9.4% to $2.3 billion in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the third quarter of 2021, primarily driven by increased personal lines and commercial multi-peril premiums written.  Year-over-year policies in force for all lines of business increased 3.3% in the third quarter of 2022 compared to 3.2% in the third quarter of 2021.  The year-over-year average premium per policy for all lines of business increased 4.1% at September 30, 2022 compared to a decrease of 0.7% at September 30, 2021. The year-over-year average premium per policy at September 30, 2021 was impacted by the rate reductions for personal and commercial auto policies written between October 1, 2020 and June 30, 2021, in response to lower driving activity as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

New business premiums increased 20.9% to $288 million in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, primarily driven by increased premiums written in the personal auto and commercial multi-peril lines. Contributing to this change was a 10.0% increase in new business policies written and a 7.8% increase in year-over-year average premium per policy on new business at September 30, 2022. New business premiums decreased 2.4% to $239 million in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 due primarily to decreased personal auto premiums written. In the third quarter of 2021, new business policies written decreased 8.9%, partially offset by a 2.0% increase in year-over-year average premium per policy.

Premiums generated from renewal business increased 7.9% to $2.0 billion in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the third quarter of 2021 and increased 4.7% to $1.8 billion in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the third quarter of 2020.  Underlying the trend in renewal business premiums was an increase in year-over-year policies in force of 3.5% and 1.9% in the third quarters of 2022 and 2021, respectively, driven by a slight increase in the policy retention ratios, as well as a 3.5% increase in year-over-year average premium per policy at September 30, 2022, compared to a 1.0% decrease in year-over-year average premium per policy at September 30, 2021.

Personal lines – Total personal lines premiums written increased 8.7% to $1.6 billion in the third quarter of 2022, compared to 2.6% in the third quarter of 2021, driven by a 3.4% increase in total personal lines policies in force and a 3.2% increase in total personal lines year-over-year average premium per policy.

Commercial lines – Total commercial lines premiums written increased 11.2% to $647 million in the third quarter of 2022, compared to 7.2% in the third quarter of 2021, driven by a 6.7% increase in total commercial lines year-over-year average premium per policy and a 2.4% increase in total commercial lines policies in force.

Future trends-premium revenue – Through a careful agency selection process, the Exchange plans to continue its effort to expand the size of 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 directly affect the profitability of the Exchange and have a direct bearing on our management fee. Future premiums could be impacted by changes resulting from the continued inflationary trends and potential regulatory changes resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, among others. Longer-term, increased driving activity may result in future rate increases due to higher claims frequency and severity. See also Part I. Item 1A. "Risk Factors" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 24, 2022.

Policy issuance and renewal services
The management fee revenue allocated for providing policy issuance and renewal services was 24.3% of the direct and affiliated assumed premiums written by the Exchange for both three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.  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.  In July 2021, we also began receiving service agreement revenue from the Exchange for the use of shared office space. The increase in service agreement revenue for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same periods in 2021 is primarily due to the new shared office space agreement.

Commissions – Commissions increased $21.6 million in the third quarter of 2022 and $55.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same periods in 2021, primarily driven by the growth in direct and affiliated assumed written premium, partially offset by a decrease in agent incentive compensation. The estimated agent incentive payouts at September 30, 2022 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 2022. The profitability component of agent incentive compensation decreased due to higher claims severity and related loss costs in 2022 compared to 2021.

Non-commission expense – Non-commission expense increased $14.2 million in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the third quarter of 2021. Underwriting and policy processing expense increased $2.9 million primarily due to increased postage and underwriting report costs. Information technology costs increased $3.7 million primarily due to increased professional fees and hardware and software costs, partially offset by decreased personnel costs. Administrative and other costs increased $6.4
30

million primarily due to an increase in personnel costs related to compensation and increased professional fees compared to the same period in 2021.

Non-commission expense increased $27.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. Underwriting and policy processing expense increased $3.0 million primarily driven by increased underwriting report costs. Information technology costs increased $7.9 million primarily due to increased hardware and software costs and professional fees, partially offset by decreased personnel costs. Sales and advertising increased $3.1 million primarily due to agent related expenses. Administrative and other costs increased $15.0 million primarily driven by increased professional fees and personnel costs related to compensation compared to the same period in 2021. Personnel costs in all expense categories were also impacted by lower estimated costs for incentive plan awards related to underwriting performance.

Administrative services
The management fee revenue allocated to administrative services was 0.7% of the direct and affiliated assumed premiums written by the Exchange for both three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. 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 Statements of Operations.

Cost of administrative services
By virtue of 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 an attorney-in-fact. Indemnity serves as the attorney-in-fact on behalf of the Exchange with respect to its administrative services in accordance with 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.

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 decreased $13.0 million in the third quarter of 2022 and $25.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the same periods in 2021, primarily due to lower equity in earnings of limited partnerships. Included in net investment income is $4.6 million of limited partnership losses in the third quarter of 2022 compared to earnings of $11.5 million for the same period in 2021 and $2.2 million of limited partnership losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to earnings of $26.7 million for the same period in 2021.

Net realized and unrealized investment (losses) gains
A breakdown of our net realized and unrealized investment (losses) gains is as follows:
Three months ended September 30, Nine months ended September 30,

Miscellaneous 0 0 2 1
Net realized and unrealized investment (losses) gains $ (6,230) $ 1,610 $ (23,833) $ 5,183


Net realized and unrealized losses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were primarily due to disposals of available-for-sale securities and market value adjustments on equity securities. Net realized and unrealized gains during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 were primarily due to disposals of available-for-sale securities.

Net impairment (losses) recoveries recognized in earnings
Net impairment losses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were related to available-for-sale securities. Net impairment recoveries during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 were primarily the result of a change in the current expected credit loss allowance related to our agent loans.

Financial condition of Erie Insurance Exchange
Serving in the capacity of attorney-in-fact for 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 Company 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 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. On August 9, 2022, the outlook for the financial strength rating was affirmed as stable. As of December 31, 2021, only approximately 12% of insurance groups, in which the Exchange is included, are rated A+ or higher.

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 subsidiaries grew 8.4% to $6.5 billion in the first nine months of 2022 compared to the first nine months of 2021. 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 $10.2 billion at September 30, 2022 and $11.7 billion at December 31, 2021. The Exchange and its wholly owned property and casualty subsidiaries' year-over-year policy retention ratio continues to be high at 90.3% at September 30, 2022, 90.1% at December 31, 2021 and 90.0% at September 30, 2021.

We have prepared our financial statements considering the financial strength of the Exchange based on its A.M. Best rating and strong level of surplus. We are monitoring risks resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and current economic environment on an ongoing basis and believe that the Exchange falls within defined risk tolerances. However, see Part I. Item 1A. "Risk Factors" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 24, 2022 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 the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and recent geopolitical events and resulting conditions, including rising interest rates and inflationary costs. While we did not see a significant impact on our sources or uses of cash in the first nine months of 2022, future disruptions in the markets 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, liquid marketable securities and our $100 million bank revolving line of credit that does not expire until October 2026. 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, 2021 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 24, 2022.

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.  The funding policy for our pension plan 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 $25 million contribution to our pension plan during the third quarter of 2022. 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.

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.  Volatility in these markets could impair our ability to sell certain fixed income securities or cause such securities to sell at deep discounts. We believe we have sufficient liquidity to meet our needs from sources other than the liquidation of securities.
Cash flow activities
The following table provides condensed cash flow information as follows:
Nine months ended
September 30,
(in thousands) 2022 2021
(Unaudited)
Net cash provided by operating activities $ 238,108 $ 264,038
Net cash used in investing activities (74,997) (43,158)
Net cash used in financing activities (249,149) (146,124)
Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents $ (86,038) $ 74,756
Net cash provided by operating activities was $238.1 million in the first nine months of 2022, compared to $264.0 million for the same period in 2021. Decreased cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to increases in cash paid for agent commissions of $45.3 million due to higher scheduled commissions driven by premium growth, administrative services expenses paid of $25.5 million and pension contributions of $25.0 million. Partially offsetting this decrease in cash provided by operating activities was an increase in management fees received of $78.3 million driven by growth in direct and affiliated assumed premiums written by the Exchange.

Net cash used in investing activities was $75.0 million in the first nine months of 2022, compared to $43.2 million for the same period in 2021. Net cash used in investing activities was primarily driven by an increase in investment purchases of $75.3 million and fixed asset purchases of $12.8 million, partially offset by an increase in proceeds from sales and maturities/calls of investments of $60.6 million.

Net cash used in financing activities totaled $249.1 million in the first nine months of 2022, compared to $146.1 million for the same period in 2021. The increase in cash used was primarily due to the repayment of the remaining $93.2 million balance on the term loan in May 2022.
35

Capital Outlook
We regularly prepare forecasts evaluating the current and future cash requirements for both normal and extreme risk events, including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.  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) cash and cash equivalents, which total approximately $97.7 million at September 30, 2022, 2) $99.1 million available on our bank revolving line of credit, and 3) liquidation of unpledged assets held in our investment portfolio, including preferred stock and investment grade bonds, which totaled approximately $722.5 million at September 30, 2022.  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.

As of September 30, 2022, we have access to a $100 million bank revolving line of credit with a $25 million letter of credit sublimit that expires on October 29, 2026. As of September 30, 2022, a total of $99.1 million remains available under the facility due to $0.9 million outstanding letters of credit, which reduce availability for letters of credit to $24.1 million. We had no borrowings outstanding on our line of credit as of September 30, 2022. Investments with a fair value of $108.7 million were pledged as collateral on the line at September 30, 2022. These investments have no trading restrictions and are reported as available-for-sale securities and cash and cash equivalents in the Statement of Financial Position.  The bank requires compliance with certain covenants, which include leverage ratios and debt restrictions.  We were in compliance with all covenants at September 30, 2022.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
We make estimates and assumptions that have a significant effect on the amounts and disclosures reported in the 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, 2021 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 24, 2022.  See Part I, Item 1. "Financial Statements - Note 5, Fair Value, of Notes to 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 prices and interest rates. Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk resulting from changes in prices, interest rates, and other risk exposures for the year ended December 31, 2021 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 24, 2022.
The current inflationary environment and rising interest rates 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 nine months ended September 30, 2022. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2022 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, pursuant to 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 essentially the same allegation of breach of fiduciary duty by Indemnity in connection with the setting of the management fee it receives, pursuant to 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 essentially 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. On February 25, 2022, Plaintiffs filed a Motion to Remand the matter to state court.

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.

Indemnity intends to vigorously defend against all of the allegations and requests for relief in the complaint.

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 the Sullivan, Beltz and Ritz actions and thereby foreclose further litigation of the claims and issues pertaining to the compensation practices that were the subject of the prior judgments.

For additional information on contingencies, see Part I, Item 1. "Financial Statements - Note 13, Commitment and Contingencies, of Notes to Financial Statements".
