FIRST HAWAIIAN, INC. Segments Disclosure
22. Reportable Operating Segments
The Company’s reportable segments are based on the manner in which management organizes the business for making operating decisions and assessing performance. These segments reflect how discrete financial information is currently evaluated by the chief operating decision maker and how performance is assessed and resources are allocated. The Company’s internal management process measures the performance of these business segments. This process, which is not necessarily comparable with similar information for any other financial institution, uses various techniques to assign balance sheet and income statement amounts to the business segments, including allocations of income, expense, the provision for credit losses and capital. This process is dynamic and requires certain allocations based on judgment and other subjective factors. Unlike financial accounting, there is no comprehensive authoritative guidance for management accounting that is equivalent to GAAP.
During the quarter ended December 31, 2025, the Company realigned its internal organizational and management reporting structure. As a result of this change, the Company reduced its reportable operating segments from three to two. The Company’s reportable segments are now Retail Banking and Commercial Banking. Activities previously reported within the Treasury and Other segment are now included in Corporate/Other, as Treasury exists to support the Company’s operating segments. The change in reportable segments reflects how the Company’s chief operating decision maker currently evaluates performance and allocates resources. In addition, during the third quarter of 2025, the Company made changes to the internal measurement of segment operating profits for the purpose of evaluating segment performance and resource allocation. The primary reason for the change was to align loan and deposit balances within the business segment that directly manages them. Specifically, certain loan and deposit balances previously included as part of the Retail Banking and Commercial Banking segments were reclassified among the segments and what is now Corporate/Other. The reallocation of select loan and deposit balances affected net interest income, net interest income after provision for credit losses, provision for income taxes, net income and segment earning assets. The Company has reported its selected financial information using the new loan and deposit balance alignments and using two reportable operating segments for the year ended December 31, 2025. Prior-period segment information has been recast to conform to the current presentation.
The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the chief executive officer, who assesses the segments’ performance by using each segment’s net income. Segment net income is predominantly considered in the annual budget and forecasting process. The chief operating decision maker considers budget-to-actual variances on a monthly basis to monitor profitability of each segment as well as to monitor each segment’s expenditures alongside the performance of each segment and its respective managers.
The net interest income of the business segments reflects the results of a funds transfer pricing process that matches assets and liabilities with similar interest rate sensitivity and maturity characteristics and reflects the allocation of net interest income related to the Company’s overall asset and liability management activities on a proportionate basis. The basis for the allocation of net interest income is a function of the Company’s assumptions that are subject to change based on changes in current interest rates and market conditions. Funds transfer pricing also serves to transfer interest rate risk to Corporate/Other.
The Company allocates the provision for credit losses from Corporate/Other (which includes activity within the Company’s support units) to the Retail Banking and Commercial Banking business segments. These allocations are based on direct costs incurred by the Retail Banking and Commercial Banking business segments.
Noninterest income and expense includes allocations from support units to the business segments. These allocations are based on actual usage where practicably calculated or by management’s estimate of such usage. Income tax expense is allocated to each business segment as well as Corporate/Other based on the consolidated effective income tax rate for the period shown.
Business Segments
Retail Banking
Retail Banking offers a broad range of financial products and services to consumers and small businesses. Loan and lease products offered include residential and commercial mortgage loans, home equity lines of credit and loans, automobile loans and leases, secured and unsecured lines of credit, installment loans and small business loans and leases. Deposit products offered include checking, savings and time deposit accounts. Retail Banking also offers wealth management services. Products and services from Retail Banking are delivered to customers through 49 banking locations throughout the State of Hawaii, Guam and Saipan.
Commercial Banking
Commercial Banking offers products that include corporate banking related products, commercial real estate loans, commercial lease financing, secured and unsecured lines of credit, automobile loans and auto dealer financing, business deposit products and credit cards. Commercial lending and deposit products are offered primarily to middle-market and large companies locally, nationally and internationally.
Corporate/Other
Corporate/Other includes activity within the support units of the Company and not associated with a segment. One such area is Treasury, which includes activities surrounding the management of interest-bearing deposits, investment securities, federal funds sold and purchased, government deposits, short- and long-term borrowings and bank-owned properties (and these assets’ and liabilities’ related interest income and expense). The primary sources of noninterest income are from bank-owned life insurance, net gains from the sale of investment securities, foreign exchange income related to customer driven cross-border wires for business and personal reasons and management of bank-owned properties. The net residual effect of the transfer pricing of assets and liabilities is included in Corporate/Other, along with the elimination of intercompany transactions.
Other organizational units within Corporate/Other (such as Technology, Operations, Credit and Risk Management, Human Resources, Finance, Administration, Marketing and Corporate and Regulatory Administration) provide a wide range of support to the Company’s reportable segments. Expenses incurred by these support units are charged to the business segments through an internal cost allocation process.

About Segments Disclosures
Segment disclosures break a company into its reportable operating units, revealing revenue, profit, and asset allocation that consolidated financial statements obscure. Under ASC 280, segments must match how the chief operating decision maker views the business, providing a window into internal management structure and resource allocation priorities.
Key signals: compare segment margins to identify which units drive profitability and which destroy value. Watch for changes in the number of reportable segments — segment aggregation or disaggregation often coincides with strategic shifts or attempts to obscure declining performance. Intersegment elimination patterns reveal internal pricing practices. The reconciliation between segment totals and consolidated figures exposes corporate overhead allocation and unallocated items. Geographic revenue concentration highlights regulatory and currency exposure. Compare segment-level capital expenditure against segment revenue to assess where management is investing for future growth versus harvesting existing assets.
