Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Reporting

12. Segment Reporting

The Company’s reportable operating segments consist of the Hancock segment, which coincides generally with the Company’s Hancock Bank subsidiary, and the Whitney segment, which coincides generally with its Whitney Bank subsidiary. Each of the bank segments offers commercial, consumer and mortgage loans and deposit services as well as certain other services, such as trust and treasury management services. Although the bank segments offer the same products and services, they are managed separately due to different pricing, product demand, and consumer markets. In addition, the “Other” column in the following tables includes activities of other consolidated subsidiaries which do not constitute reportable segments under the quantitative and aggregation accounting guidelines. These subsidiaries provide investment services, insurance agency services, and various other services to third parties.
