Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
Segment Reporting | Note 17 - Segment Reporting Synovus' business segments are based on the products and services provided or the clients served and reflect the manner in which financial information is evaluated by the chief operating decision maker. Prior to the fourth quarter of 2019, Synovus identified its overall banking operations as its only reportable segment. During the fourth quarter of 2019, Synovus announced changes in its organizational structure and segmented its business into three major reportable business segments: Community Banking, Wholesale Banking, and Financial Management Services with functional activities such as treasury, technology, operations, marketing, finance, enterprise risk, legal, human resources, corporate communications, executive management, among others, included in Treasury and Corporate Other. Business segment results are determined based upon Synovus' management reporting system, which assigns balance sheet and income statement items to each of the business segments. Certain assets, liabilities, revenue, and expense not allocated or attributable to a particular business segment are included in Treasury and Corporate Other. Synovus' third-party lending consumer loans and loans held for sale, as well as PPP loans, are included in Treasury and Corporate Other. The management accounting policies and processes utilized in compiling segment financial information are highly subjective and, unlike financial accounting, are not based on authoritative guidance similar to GAAP. As a result, reported segment results are not necessarily comparable with similar information reported by other financial institutions. The Community Banking business segment serves clients using a relationship-based approach through its branch, ATM, commercial, and private wealth network in addition to mobile, Internet, and telephone banking. This segment primarily provides individual, small business, and corporate clients with an array of comprehensive banking products and services including commercial, home equity, and other consumer loans, credit and debit cards, and deposit accounts. The Wholesale Banking business segment serves primarily larger corporate clients by providing commercial lending and deposit services through specialty teams including middle market, CRE, senior housing, national accounts, premium finance, structured lending, healthcare, asset-based lending, and community investment capital. The Financial Management Services business segment serves its clients by providing mortgage and trust services and also specializing in professional portfolio management for fixed-income securities, investment banking, the execution of securities transactions as a broker/dealer, asset management, financial planning, and family office services, as well as the provision of individual investment advice on equity and other securities. Synovus uses a centralized FTP methodology to attribute appropriate net interest income to the business segments. The intent of the FTP methodology is to transfer interest rate risk from the business segments by providing matched duration funding of assets and liabilities. The result is to centralize the financial impact, management, and reporting of interest rate risk in the Treasury and Corporate Other function where it can be centrally monitored and managed. Treasury and Corporate Other includes certain assets and/or liabilities managed within that function. Additionally, Treasury and Corporate Other also charges (credits) an internal cost of funds for assets held in (or pays for funding provided by) each business segment. The process for determining FTP is based on a number of factors and assumptions, including prevailing market interest rates, the expected lives of various assets and liabilities, and the Company's broader funding profile. The following tables present certain financial information for each reportable business segment for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019 and as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. The fourth quarter of 2019 was the first financial period in which the new segment reporting became effective; thus, to provide comparable prior year information, Synovus has included proforma business segment financial information for the full year 2019 utilizing various allocation methodologies based on balance sheet and income statement items assigned to each business segment. The application and development of management reporting methodologies is a dynamic process and is subject to periodic enhancements. As these enhancements are made, financial results presented by each reportable business segment may be periodically revised. During the year ended December 31, 2021, Treasury and Corporate Other's net interest income benefited from the recognition of $79.2 million of PPP fees, an increase of $33.2 million from $46.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. During the year ended December 31, 2020, Synovus strategically repositioned the investment securities portfolio, which resulted in net gains of $78.9 million in the Treasury and Corporate Other segment. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2020, Synovus recognized a $44.9 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge representing all of the goodwill allocated to the Consumer Mortgage reporting unit (which is included in the FMS reportable segment) resulting from a combination of factors, including the extended duration of lower market valuations, high volumes in refinance activity that reduced mortgage yields, and the clarity around longer term policy actions designed to keep interest rates low.
