The consolidated financial statements of Erie Indemnity Company ("Indemnity") reflect the consolidated results of Indemnity and the Erie Insurance Exchange ("Exchange"), which we refer to collectively as the "Erie Insurance Group." Indemnity, or Indemnity shareholder interest, refers to the interest in Erie Indemnity Company owned by the Class A and Class B shareholders. The Exchange refers to the noncontrolling interest held for the interest of the subscribers (policyholders), and includes its interest in its property and casualty subsidiaries and Erie Family Life Insurance Company ("EFL").

(2)

All property and casualty and life insurance results accrue to the interest of the subscribers (policyholders) of the Exchange, or noncontrolling interest.

The following tables and discussion show the operating results attributable to the Indemnity shareholder interest in the Erie Indemnity Company owned by the Class A and Class B shareholders for the third quarter of 2013.

  • The management fee rate was 25 percent for both the third quarters of 2013 and 2012. Direct written premium of the property and casualty insurance operations, upon which the management fee is calculated, increased 9.6 percent in the third quarter of 2013, due to a 4.7 percent increase in policies in force and a 4.7 percent increase in the year-over-year average premium per policy for all lines of business at September 30, 2013.
  • Commissions increased $24 million in the third quarter of 2013, compared to the third quarter of 2012. Base commissions increased due to the 9.6 percent increase in direct written premium of the property and casualty insurance operations. Agent bonuses also increased due to an increase in the profitability component of the bonus as a result of factoring in the most recent year's underwriting results and the increased premium levels of the property and casualty insurance operations.
  • Non-commission expense increased $10 million in the third quarter of 2013, compared to the third quarter of 2012. Sales, policy issuance, advertising, and underwriting costs increased $2 million. Personnel costs increased $4 million as a result of a $1 million increase in salaries, a $1 million increase in pension costs, and a $2 million increase in the estimate for incentive plan compensation related to growth and underwriting performance. All other operating costs increased $4 million.

Earnings on life insurance related invested assets are integral to the evaluation of the life insurance operations because of the long duration of life products. On that basis, for presentation purposes, the life insurance operations in the table above include life insurance related investment results.

Erie Indemnity Company 
Reconciliation of Operating Income to Net Income (Unaudited) 

Reconciliation of operating income to net income
We disclose operating income, a non-GAAP financial measure, to enhance our investors' understanding of our performance related to the Indemnity shareholder interest.  Our method of calculating this measure may differ from those used by other companies, and therefore comparability may be limited.

Indemnity defines operating income as net income excluding realized capital gains and losses, impairment losses and related federal income taxes.

Indemnity uses operating income to evaluate the results of its operations.  It reveals trends that may be obscured by the net effects of realized capital gains and losses including impairment losses.  Realized capital gains and losses, including impairment losses, may vary significantly between periods and are generally driven by business decisions and economic developments such as capital market conditions which are not related to our ongoing operations.  We are aware that the price to earnings multiple commonly used by investors as a forward-looking valuation technique uses operating income as the denominator.  Operating income should not be considered as a substitute for net income prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and does not reflect Indemnity's overall profitability.

The following table reconciles operating income and net income for the Indemnity shareholder interest:
