Is CXO’s CEO overpaid relative to the market?

Though one size does not fit all, as compensation should account for specific factors of the company and market, we can fashion a high-level benchmark to see if CXO is an outlier. This outcome can help shareholders ask the right question about Biggins’s incentive alignment. Generally, an Australian small-cap has a value of $140M, creates earnings of $10M, and pays its CEO at roughly $500,000 annually. Usually I would look at market cap and earnings as a proxy for performance, however, CXO’s negative earnings lower the usefulness of my formula. Given the range of pay for small-cap executives, it seems like Biggins is paid aptly compared to those in similar-sized companies. On the whole, even though CXO is loss-making, it seems like the CEO’s pay is sound.

Next Steps:

CEO pay is one of those topics of high controversy. Nonetheless, it should be talked about with full transparency from the board to shareholders. Is Biggins remunerated appropriately based on other factors we have not covered today? Is this justified? As a shareholder, you should be aware of how those that represent you (i.e. the board of directors) make decisions on CEO pay and whether their incentives are aligned with yours.
