Erie Indemnity Company
Reconciliation of Operating Income to Net Income



Reconciliation of operating income to net income

We disclose operating income, a non-GAAP financial measure, to enhance our investors’ understanding of our performance.  Our method of calculating this measure may differ from those used by other companies, and therefore comparability may be limited.
 
We define operating income as net income excluding realized capital gains and losses, impairment losses, and related federal income taxes.
 
We use operating income to evaluate the results of our 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 our overall profitability.
 
The following table reconciles operating income and net income:
