Erie Indemnity’s Q2 results reflected operational resilience amid two major challenges: a cybersecurity incident that led to a temporary network outage and elevated catastrophe losses from severe spring weather events. Management credited recent premium rate increases and retention of existing policyholders for supporting revenue, but acknowledged that higher commissions and IT expenses, as well as the costs associated with sustaining operations during the outage, weighed on profitability. CFO Julie Pelkowski stated, “Given the diligent implementation of our business continuity protocols, we do not believe there has been a material impact to our statements of financial position, income or cash flows as a result of this incident.”
