  • No tax gross‑ups (except limited relocation per policy); perquisites limited .
  • Related person transactions: None identified in 2024 .

Performance & Track Record

  • 2024 company outcomes used in pay decisions: $5.0B revenue, $911.9M adjusted EBITDA, $399.9M free cash flow before dividends; AMS/DRS organic growth 23% .
  • Individual assessment: Compensation Committee recognized Ms. Galloway’s “visionary leadership,” launch of new Purpose and Values, enhancement of HR capabilities, and support through key leadership transitions in 2024 .

Compensation Structure Analysis

  • Increased at‑risk mix: For NEOs (ex‑CEO), ~60% of target total compensation is performance‑based; LTI emphasizes EBITDA and relative TSR via PSUs; no stock options since 2020 .
  • Metric rigor and adjustments: Pre‑set adjustments (FX, M&A, unusual items) disclosed for transparency .
  • Year‑over‑year changes: Ms. Galloway’s year‑end base increased 4.1% to $484,000; LTI target increased from $700,000 (2023) to $800,000 (2024) .

Investment Implications

  • Alignment: Strong linkage of incentives to cash generation and AMS/DRS growth; clawback, hedging/pledging prohibitions, and ownership guidelines reinforce alignment .
  • Retention/selling pressure: Meaningful unvested RSUs (including $1.4M sign‑on grant) and IM PSUs (2023–2026 cycles) create retention hooks; vesting events (each June for sign‑on RSUs; annual RSUs and 2027 PSU certification) may drive episodic selling needs for tax/cash but 2024 showed aggregated 8,234 shares vesting ($843k) without option exercises .
  • Downside protections/costs: Double‑trigger CIC benefits at 2x cash for NEOs and full/target equity vesting can be material (e.g., $5.22M modeled for Galloway), but design follows market norms and avoids single‑trigger windfalls .
