Performance

Measure

Weighting

 

Performance Target

EPS

28.33%

Statutory Earnings Per Share (EPS) before exceptional items (adjusted to reflect tax paid on a cash basis) of 19.0p (threshold, 25% vesting) to 23.2p (maximum, 100% vesting), measured as an aggregate over the three-year performance period ending 31 December 2021.

TSR

28.33%

Total Shareholder Return (TSR) of median (threshold, 25% vesting) to upper quartile (maximum, 100% vesting) when ranked relative to companies in the FTSE250 (excluding investment trusts), measured over the three-year performance period ending 31 December 2021.

ROIC

28.33%

Pre-tax Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) of 15.6% (threshold, 25% vesting) to 19.0% (maximum, 100% vesting), measured as an average over the three-year performance period ending 31 December 2021.

Strategic objective - Order Book

7.50%

Book-to-bill ratio of 100% (target, 50% vesting) to 105% (maximum, 100% vesting) measured as an average over the three-year performance period ending 31 December 2021.

Strategic objective - Employee Engagement

7.50%

For  the year ending 31 December 2021, achieve an engagement score of 67 points (target, 50% vesting) to 70 points (maximum, 100% vesting) in our annual employee engagement survey.

 

The Remuneration Committee retains discretion to change performance measures and targets, and the weightings attached to performance measures part-way through the performance period if there is a significant event, such as a major transaction.

 

For Executive Directors, any shares that vest will be subject to a post-vesting holding requirement that takes the total term of the award to a minimum of five years. Post-vesting clawback also applies to the Executive Directors awards. Awards to all participants are subject to pre-vesting malus.
