Investment Implications
- Strong pay-for-performance alignment at the division level: Mission Technologies exceeded revenue, EBITDA, and OCF targets, delivering the maximum AIP score and 200% bonus payout for Green, directly tied to segment operational and financial metrics .
- Equity leverage and retention: Significant unearned RPSR balance from 2023–2026 cycles (market/payout value shown) plus 2024 grants indicate meaningful at-risk equity; accelerated vesting requires a change‑in‑control and qualifying termination (double-trigger), supporting retention while moderating M&A-related windfalls .
- Ownership alignment and risk controls: Stock ownership guidelines (3× salary) with a reported 160% attainment, holding requirements on pre‑2024 awards, and strict prohibitions on hedging/pledging reduce misalignment and selling pressure risks; clawback policy further mitigates misconduct risk .
- Macro headwinds vs compensation optics: Despite a company-level TSR of -25.7% in 2024, Mission Technologies growth and record revenue underpin Green’s payout; investors should watch how 2024–2026 RPSR metrics (ROIC, EBITDAP, relative EBITDAP growth vs SPSIAD) evolve given shipbuilding cost, labor, and inflation dynamics noted in the proxy .
