14.SEGMENT INFORMATION

Segment Data:

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 June 30, 2015, the Company was divided into four distinct operating segments: Traditional Banking, Warehouse Lending (“Warehouse”), Mortgage Banking and Republic Processing Group (“RPG”). Management considers the first three segments to collectively constitute “Core Bank” or “Core Banking” activities. The RPG segment includes the Tax Refund Solutions (“TRS”) division, Republic Payment Solutions (“RPS”) and Republic Credit Solutions (“RCS”). TRS generates the majority of RPG’s income, with the relatively smaller divisions of RPG, RPS and RCS, considered immaterial for separate and independent segment reporting. All divisions of the RPG segment operate through the Company.

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

	Segment:	Nature of Operations	Primary Drivers of Net Revenues
Core Banking	Traditional Banking	Provides traditional banking products primarily to customers in the Company’s market footprint.	Loans, investments and deposits
	Warehouse Lending	Provides short-term, revolving credit facilities to mortgage bankers across the Nation.	Mortgage warehouse lines of credit
	Mortgage Banking	Primarily originates, sells and services long-term, single family, first lien residential real estate loans.	Gain on sale of loans and servicing fees
	Republic Processing Group	The TRS division facilitates the receipt and payment of federal and state tax refund products. The RPS division offers general purpose reloadable cards. The RCS division offers short-term credit products.	Net refund transfer fees

The accounting policies used for Republic’s reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in the Company’s 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Segment performance is evaluated using operating income. Goodwill is not allocated. 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.
