PEOPLES FINANCIAL SERVICES CORP. Segments Disclosure
20. Segment Reporting:
We operate our business as a single integrated business unit which provides a number of products and services to meet our customers banking and financial needs. Our products and services include commercial lending and leasing products such as real estate secured lending, equipment finance, working capital lines of credit, and construction loans. We also offer consumer lending services including secured and unsecured installment loans, home equity loans, construction and real estate loans, credit lines and auto loans. Our products also include deposit services such as personal and business checking accounts, savings, money market and certificates of deposits. Additionally, we provide an array of cash management services, trust and wealth management services. These services are all delivered through the same business network.
The Company has identified its executive management committee as the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). Collectively, this centralized leadership group is responsible for allocating resources across the Company, assessing overall financial and operational performance, setting strategic direction and risk appetite, and approving major investments and capital decisions. The CODM uses consolidated financial results and metrics to assess performance and profitability as a single business segment. Consolidated net income and other metrics are used to assess performance by comparing results on a monthly basis, including variances to consolidated budget and prior period results. Consideration is given to performance of components of the business, such as branches and geographic regions, which are then aggregated. This information is used to achieve strategic initiatives by allowing the CODM to manage resources that drive our business and earnings. Additionally, consolidated net income is used to benchmark the Company against its banking peers.
The accounting policies of the single business unit are the same as provided in Note 1 - "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" and our segment assets are the same as assets presented in the consolidated balance sheets.

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.
