Over the first half of the year, this figure grew by 6.5% to $354.2 million.
One of the key drivers of this financial success was the rise in management fee revenue from policy issuance and renewal services, which climbed 8.3% in the second quarter to $824.5 million. Administrative services revenue also showed positive growth, increasing by 7.3% to $17.6 million during the same period. For the first half of 2025, total revenue from policy issuance and renewal services surged by 10.7% to $1.57 billion, while administrative services revenue rose by 5.8% to $36.8 million.

The Exchange, which is Erie Indemnity’s sole customer, reported $3.1 billion in direct and affiliated assumed premiums for the first quarter of 2025, marking a 13.9% increase from the previous year.

In terms of expenses, commissions related to policy issuance and renewal services rose by $43.5 million in the second quarter. Non-commission expenses also increased, driven primarily by a $7.1 million rise in information technology costs.
