GERMAN AMERICAN BANCORP, INC. Segments Disclosure
Segment Information
The Company’s reportable segments are determined by the type of products and services offered and the level of information provided to the Company’s chief operating decision maker, who uses such information in evaluating revenue streams, significant expenses, and budget to actual results in assessing the performance of the Company’s segments and in the determination of allocation resources.
For the year ended December 31, 2025 and the last 7 months of 2024, the Company’s operations included two primary segments: core banking and wealth management services. For the first five months of 2024, the Company’s operations included three primary segments: core banking, wealth management services, and insurance operations. On June 1, 2024, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of its insurance operations and ceased insurance-related activities for the Company. As a result of the sale, insurance revenue and expenses reported within the accompanying financial statements reflect operations during the first five months of 2024. See Note 2 for additional information on this sale.
The core banking segment involves attracting deposits from the general public and using such funds to originate consumer, commercial and agricultural, commercial and agricultural real estate, and residential mortgage loans, primarily in the Company’s local markets by the Company’s banking subsidiary, German American Bank, which operated through 94 banking offices at December 31, 2025. Net interest income from loans and investments funded by deposits and borrowings is the primary revenue for the core-banking segment. The core banking segment also involves the sale of residential mortgage loans in the secondary market. The wealth management segment’s revenues are comprised primarily of fees generated by the wealth advisory and trust operations of the Company’s banking subsidiary and by German American Investment Services, Inc. These fees are derived by providing trust, investment advisory, brokerage and retirement planning services to its customers. The insurance segment offered a full range of personal and corporate property and casualty insurance products, primarily in the Company’s banking subsidiary’s local markets. Commissions derived from the sale of insurance products by GAI were the primary source of revenue for the insurance segment.
The following segment financial information has been derived from the internal financial statements of the Company which are used by management to monitor and manage financial performance. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those of the Company. The evaluation process for segments does not include holding company income and expense. Holding company amounts are the primary differences between segment amounts and consolidated totals, and are reflected in the column labeled “Other” below.

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.
