REPORTABLE SEGMENTS

Management Reporting

The Company has four reportable segments: Private Banking, Wealth Management and Trust, Investment Management, and Wealth Advisory, and the Parent Company (Boston Private Financial Holdings, Inc.) (the “Holding Company”). The financial performance of the Company is managed and evaluated by these four areas. The segments are managed separately as a result of the concentrations in each function.

The Company’s Segment Chief Executive Officers (“CEOs”) manage the segments and have full authority and responsibility for the performance and the allocation of resources within their respective segments. The Company’s CEO is the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) .

The day to day activities of the affiliates are managed by the affiliate CEOs, except in the Private Banking segment. The Company’s CEO is also the Bank’s CEO. The president of the Bank is the Private Banking Segment CEO and reports to the Company CEO. The Segment CEOs have authority with respect to the allocation of capital within their segments, management oversight responsibility, performance assessments, and overall authority and accountability for all of the affiliates, if any, within their segment. The Segment CEO for the non-banks communicates with the affiliate CEOs regarding profit and loss responsibility, strategic planning, priority setting and other matters. The Holding Company’s Chief Financial Officer reviews all affiliate financial detail with the CODM on a monthly basis.

Description of Reportable Segments

Private Banking

The Private Banking segment operates primarily in three geographic markets: New England, San Francisco Bay, and Southern California.

The Bank currently conducts business under the name of Boston Private Bank & Trust Company in all markets. The Bank is chartered by The Commonwealth of Massachusetts and is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”). The Bank is principally engaged in providing private banking services to high net worth individuals, privately owned businesses, private partnerships, and nonprofit organizations. In addition, the Bank is an active provider of financing for affordable housing, first-time homebuyers, economic development, social services, community revitalization and small businesses.

Wealth Management and Trust

The Wealth Management and Trust segment is comprised of the trust operations of Boston Private Bank and the operations of Boston Private Wealth. Boston Private Wealth combines Boston Private Bank’s existing wealth management business and the business of Banyan, which Boston Private Bank purchased in the fourth quarter of 2014. The segment offers investment management, wealth management, family office, and trust services to individuals, families, and institutions. The Wealth Management and Trust segment operates in New England; South Florida; Texas; California; Atlanta, Georgia; and Madison, Wisconsin. For comparative purposes, the Wealth Management and Trust data that was previously included within the Private Banking segment has been stated separately for the periods presented in the table below. See Part II. Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 3: Acquisitions, Asset Sales, and Divestitures” for additional details on the acquisition of Banyan.

Investment Management

The Investment Management segment has two consolidated affiliates, including DGHM and Anchor, both of which are registered investment advisers (“RIAs”). The Investment Managers serve the needs of pension funds, endowments, trusts, foundations and select institutions, mutual funds and high net worth individuals and their families throughout the U.S. and abroad. The Investment Managers specialize in value-driven equity portfolios with products across the capitalization spectrum. The specific mix of products, services and clientele varies between affiliates. The Investment Managers are located in New England and New York, with one affiliate administrative office in South Florida.

Wealth Advisory

The Wealth Advisory segment has two consolidated affiliates, including KLS and BOS, both of which are RIAs and wealth management firms. The Wealth Advisors provide comprehensive, planning-based financial strategies to high net worth individuals and their families, and non-profit institutions. The services the firms offer include fee-only financial planning, tax planning, tax preparation, estate and insurance planning, retirement planning, charitable planning and intergenerational gifting and succession planning. The Wealth Advisors manage investments covering a wide range of asset classes for both taxable and tax-exempt portfolios. The Wealth Advisors are located in New York, Southern California and Northern California.

Measurement of Segment Profit and Assets

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Part II. Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 1: Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.”

(1)	Included in Private Banking non-interest income for the year ended December 31, 2013 is the $10.6 million gain on sale of the Bank’s three offices in the Pacific Northwest.


(2)	Operating expense for 2015 includes $3.7 million in restructuring expenses related to the Wealth Management and Trust segment. Operating expense for 2014 includes $0.7 million restructuring expenses. Operating expense for 2013 includes no restructuring expenses.

(3)

The Company’s effective tax rate for 2015, 2014, and 2013 are not consistent due to earnings from tax-exempt investments, non-deductible compensation, state and local taxes, income tax credits and income attributable to noncontrolling interests having a different impact on the effective tax rate due primarily to the different levels of income before taxes in years 2015, 2014, and 2013. See Part II. Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 17: Income Taxes” for additional details.


(4)	Net income from discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 of $6.4 million, $6.2 million, and $7.8 million, respectively, are included in Holding Company and Eliminations in the calculation of net income attributable to the Company.
