| SEGMENT REPORTING |
NOTE 23 – SEGMENT REPORTING Equity Bancshares, Inc. is a financial holding company, whose principal activity is the ownership and management of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including Equity Bank (“Equity Bank”). As a community-oriented financial institution, substantially all of the Company’s operations involve the delivery of loan and deposit products to customers. Management makes operating decisions and assesses performance based on an ongoing review of these banking operations, which constitute the Company’s only operating segment for financial reporting purposes. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is comprised of the executive leadership team. For Equity Bancshares Inc., the executive leadership team uses gross profit and profit or loss from operations before interest and income taxes to allocate resources for in the annual budget and forecasting process. The chief operating decision maker considers budget-to-actual variances on a monthly basis for profit measures when making decisions about allocating capital and personnel to the operating segment. For Equity Bank, the executive leadership team uses net-interest income and non-interest income to allocate resources (including employees, financial, or capital resources) to that segment in the annual budget and forecasting process and uses that measure as a basis for evaluating lending terms for customer loans. The following tables present information about reported segment revenue, measures of a segment’s profit or loss, significant segment expenses, and measure of a segment’s assets as of December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023. The Company does not allocate all holding company expenses, income taxes or unusual items to the reportable segment. The following tables present the reconciliations of reportable segment revenues and measures of profit or loss and line item reconciliation to the Company’s consolidated financial statement totals.
