Investment Implications

  • Pay-for-performance alignment: Annual bonus is 70% tied to adjusted EPS and 30% to strategic/individual goals; long-term equity tilts to PSUs based on multi-year adjusted EPS, supporting linkage to profitability and TSR momentum .
  • Retention risk mitigated: A substantial one-time retention PSU grant (53,074 target units) requires Keim to remain through 12/31/2027 and hit an aggressive FY2027 EPS target of ≥$36, reducing near-term departure risk but concentrating value in a single metric and date .
  • Potential insider selling pressure: Scheduled RSA tranches vest each March (2026, 2027) and PSUs certify in 2026 and 2027, creating periodic net-settlement share deliveries; however, pledging/hedging are prohibited and CFO ownership guidelines (≥4× salary) are already met, moderating sell pressure signals .
  • Equity alignment: Beneficial ownership of 59,486 shares and significant unearned PSU exposure align incentives with long-term adjusted EPS and stock performance; say-on-pay support (93% in 2024) indicates shareholders broadly approve the compensation framework .
