Note 26. Segment Information

 

The Company’s reportable segments are determined by the CFO, who is the designated chief operating decision maker, based upon information provided about the Company’s products and services offered. They are also distinguished by the level of information provided to the chief operating decision maker, who uses such information to review performance of various components of the business, which are then aggregated if operating performance, products/services, and customers are similar. The reportable segments during  2025 were corporate banking and financial technology. As of December 31, 2025, the financial technology segment has been shut down given the Company's decision to pivot away from operating certain BaaS services. The expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 for the financial technology segment are elevated due activities related to shutting down the segment, such as canceling contracts and accelerating the remaining expense. The core banking segment will be the sole segment from this point on. 
 
The chief operating decision maker evaluates the financial performance of the Company’s business components such as by evaluating revenue streams, significant expenses, and budget to actual results in assessing the performance of the Company’s segments and in the determination of allocating resources. The chief operating decision maker uses revenue streams to evaluate product pricing and significant expenses to assess performance of each segment to evaluate compensation of certain employees. Segment pretax profit or loss is used to assess the performance of the core banking segment by monitoring the margin between interest income and interest expense. Financial technology segment pretax profit or loss was used to assess the performance of the financial technology segment by monitoring the service charge income received on customer transactions. Loans and investments provide the revenues in the core banking segment, and service charges provided the revenues in the financial technology segment. Interest expense, provisions for credit losses, and salaries and employee benefits provide the significant expenses in the core banking segment. Salaries and employee benefits and outside services provided the significant expenses in the financial technology segment.  All operations are domestic.


Accounting policies for segments are the same as those described in Note 1.  Indirect expenses are allocated on revenue. Transactions among segments are made at fair value. Information reported internally for performance assessment by the chief operating decision maker is as follows, inclusive of reconciliations of significant segment totals to the financial statements:

The core banking segment reported segment profit before income taxes of $9.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $32.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in core banking segment profit was primarily related to:

 

higher interest expense due primarily to higher rates on deposits and higher balances of interest-bearing deposits, specifically money market and time deposits;
higher provision for credit losses due primarily to loan growth, charge offs taken in 2024, as well as increasing qualitative factors within our model assumptions for increased levels of past dues and potential weaknesses in underlying collateral for certain asset classes;
higher other operating expenses due primarily to increases in meals and entertainment, board and shareholder expenses, settlement and workout costs, DDA losses, and brokered deposits fees. 

 

The financial technology segment reported segment loss before income taxes of $23.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to segment loss of $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase in financial technology segment loss was primarily related to:

 

impairment of the computer software intangible asset. The impairment charge of $19.7 million reduced fully the carrying value of the Company's intangible asset of $19.1 million and the related prepaid asset of $621,000, consisting of the enhanced value of cloud development expenses; 

higher salaries and employee benefits as well as outside services, primarily due to the development of the Avenu SaaS software program;
lower transfer pricing income for 2024 due primarily to lower deposit balances in the financial technology segment in 2024 compared to 2023.

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.
