FIRST UNITED CORP/MD/ Segments Disclosure
20. Segment Reporting
The Corporation is managed under an organizational structure that conducts business in two primary operating segments: (i) Community Banking and (ii) Wealth Management. The Corporation is primarily managed based on the line of business structure. In that regard, the Corporation provides the same lines of business, which have the same product and service offerings, have similar types and classes of customers and utilize similar service delivery methods across our entire geographic footprint. Pricing guidelines for products and services are across all regions. Community Banking and Trust and Investment Services are delineated by the products and services that each segment offers.
Business activity for the operating segments are as follows:
Community Banking: The Community Banking segment is conducted through the Bank and involves delivering a broad range of financial products and services, including various loan and deposit products, to consumer, business, and not-for-profit customers. Parent company income and assets are included in the Community Banking segment, as the majority of parent company functions are related to this segment. Major revenue sources include net interest income, gains on sales of mortgage loans, and service charges on deposit accounts. Expenses include salaries and employee benefits, occupancy, data processing, FDIC premiums, marketing, equipment, and other expenses.
Wealth Management: The Wealth Management segment is conducted through the Bank and offers corporate trustee services, trust and estate administration, IRA administration and custody services. Revenues for this segment is generated from administration, service and custody fees, brokerage commissions, and management fees that are derived from Assets Under Management. Expenses include personnel, occupancy, data processing, marketing, equipment, and other expenses.
The accounting policies of each reportable segment are the same as those of our consolidated entity except that expenses for consolidated back-office operations and general overhead-type expenses such as executive administration, accounting, information technology and human resources are recorded in the Community Banking segment and reimbursed by the Wealth Management segment through a monthly management fee based on estimated uses of those services.
An internal team of the Corporation’s executive directors including the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Wealth Officer serve as the Corporation’s CODM. The CODM reviews actual net income verses budgeted net income to assess segment performance on a monthly basis and to make decisions about allocating capital and personnel to the segments.
Financial results by operating segment, including significant expense categories provided to the CODM are detailed below. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. The Trust and Investment Services segment excludes off-balance-sheet assets under management with a total fair value of $1.8 billion and $1.7 billion at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

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.
