SEGMENT INFORMATION

Reportable segments are determined by the type of products and services offered and the level of information provided to the chief operating decision maker, who uses such information to review performance of various components of the business (such as banking centers and business units), which are then aggregated if operating performance, products/services, and clients are similar.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company was divided into five reportable segments: Traditional Banking, Warehouse Lending, TRS, RPS, and RCS. Management considers the first two segments to collectively constitute “Core Bank” or “Core Banking” operations, while the last three segments collectively constitute RPG operations.

The Company’s Executive Chair and Chief Executive Officer serves as the Company’s CODM. Income (loss) before income tax expense is the reportable measure of segment profit or loss that the CODM regularly reviews and uses to allocate resources and assess performance.

The nature of segment operations and the primary drivers of net revenues by reportable segment are provided below:

Reportable Segment:

Nature of Operations:

Primary Drivers of Net Revenue:

Traditional Banking

Tax Refund Solutions

Net interest income and Net refund transfer fees

Republic Payment Solutions

RPS offers general-purpose reloadable cards. RPS products are primarily provided to clients outside of the Bank’s market footprint.

Net interest income and Program fees

Republic Credit Solutions

Offers consumer credit products. RCS products are primarily provided to clients outside of the Bank’s market footprint, with a substantial portion of RCS clients considered subprime or near-prime borrowers.

Net interest income and Program fees

The accounting policies used for Republic’s reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Segment performance is evaluated using operating income before income taxes. Goodwill is allocated to the Traditional Banking segment. Income taxes are generally allocated based on income before income tax expense unless specific segment allocations can be reasonably made.

Transactions among reportable segments are made at carrying value. Net Interest income is reflected within each applicable business segment based on the underlying financial instruments assigned to each segment as well as the impact of the Company’s internal FTP applied to each instrument. FTP is allocated from the Traditional Bank to each segment based on the assumed terms of the underlying financial instruments within that segment in combination with applicable market interest rates matching the assumed terms of each instrument.

Beginning in 2024 annual reporting, we adopted ASU 2023-07 retrospectively. Segment information for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 is as follows:
