Note 36 – Segment reporting
The
Corporation’s
corporate
structure
consists
of
two
Banco Popular de Puerto Rico and Popular U.S.
Management determined the reportable segments based on the internal reporting used to evaluate performance and to assess
where to allocate resources.
The segments were
determined based on the
organizational structure, which focuses
primarily on the
markets the segments serve, as well as on the products
and services offered by the segments.
The chief operating
decision maker (“CODM”) of
the Corporation is
the Chief Executive
Officer (“CEO”) who
utilizes net income
as
one of
the segment
profitability measures,
to evaluate
the performance
of each
reportable segment and
assess where
to allocate
resources effectively.
The CEO
receives
profitability reports
that
include net
income
per segment,
net
interest income
and
other
income
and expense
categories. The
CODM uses
the segment’s
net income
and components
of net
income, including
segment
revenues and
expenses to
assess performance
and to
manage important
aspects by
each reportable
segments,
such as
human
capital, investment in technology, making budget allocations,
as well as other strategic decisions.
