The annual cash incentive program is intended to provide a competitive level of compensation when specific individual and/or business performance objectives are achieved. The 2010 incentive awards were based on an assessment of actual performance against pre-established Company and business segment performance objectives specified in the Company’s 2010 annual cash incentive plan. The performance objectives as outlined in the 2010 annual cash incentive plan included contract profit, cash flow, adjusted earnings before interest and taxes, awards and personal factors, as defined therein, each of which were weighted differently.
The performance objectives for the 2011 incentive targets are contract profit, cash flow, awards, non-financial metrics, and personal factors, as defined therein, each of which is weighted differently. The Compensation Committee has discretion to adjust these payments. With input from the Company, incentives are paid based upon the Compensation Committee’s assessment of both individual and Company-wide actual performance against these established performance objectives. The potential payouts range from 0% to 185% of an individual’s target incentive. Target incentives represent a percentage of an eligible participant’s base salary.
The Company uses long-term incentive compensation to focus on the importance of returns to shareholders, promote the achievement of long-term performance goals, encourage executive retention, and promote higher levels of Company stock ownership by executives. The 2011 LTIP approved metrics based on fiscal 2013 targets are as follows: (i) sales; (ii) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and retirement benefit expenses; (iii) capital turnover ratio; and (iv) the economic value added performance target.
