Pay Versus Performance Tables

 

As required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform, Consumer Protection Act and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship between executive officer “compensation actually paid” (“CAP”) and certain Company financial performance metrics. CAP is calculated in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K and differs from compensation shown in the Summary Compensation Table (“SCT”) on page 71. See below for a reconciliation of the total compensation shown in the SCT to CAP. The Compensation and Human Capital Committee makes executive compensation decisions independent of SEC disclosure requirements and reviews a variety of Company-wide and individual factors to link CAP to our Company and executive performance. For further information concerning our variable pay-for-performance philosophy and how we align executive compensation with our performance, refer to the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” above.

(a) All equity awards used to determine compensation actually paid to NEOs were re-valued according to FASB ASC Topic 718 and use materially consistent methodologies and assumptions as those used for purposes of grant date fair values reported in the SCT.

 

(3) Total shareholder return (“TSR”) is calculated based on a fixed investment of one hundred dollars measured from the market close on December 31, 2019 (the last trading day of 2019) through and including the end of the fiscal year for each year reported in the table.

 

(4) For 2023, we have elected to begin using our 10-K peer group of the S&P 500 Pharmaceuticals Index to provide additional clarity and consistency across our external reporting. The peer group used above and in the graphical displays is the S&P 500 Pharmaceuticals Index. In our prior year Pay Versus Performance disclosure, the TSR calculation reflected the peer group used for executive benchmarking purposes as disclosed in the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" for the relevant years. As a means of comparison, the peer groups used for the prior year's TSR Pay vs Performance calculations and their respective returns are displayed below, as is the 2023 peer group and its TSR.

 

For 2023, the peer group consists of Agilent Technologies, Inc.; Baxter International Inc.; Boston Scientific Corporation; Charles River Laboratories International, Inc.; DENTSPLY SIRONA Inc.; Edwards Lifesciences Corporation; Hologic, Inc.; Horizon Therapeutics; IDEXX Laboratories, Inc.; Incyte Corporation; Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc; Perrigo Company plc; Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc.; STERIS plc; Vertex Pharmaceuticals, Inc.; Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc.; and Zoetis Inc.

 

For 2022, the peer group consisted of Agilent Technologies, Inc.; Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc.; Baxter International Inc.; Boston Scientific Corporation; Charles River Laboratories International, Inc.; DENTSPLY SIRONA Inc.; Edwards Lifesciences Corporation; Endo International plc; Hologic, Inc.; IDEXX Laboratories, Inc.; Incyte Corporation; Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc; Perrigo Company plc; Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc.; STERIS plc; Varian Medical Systems, Inc.; Vertex Pharmaceuticals, Inc.; Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc.; and Zoetis Inc.

 

For 2021, the peer group consisted of Agilent Technologies, Inc.; Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc.; Baxter International Inc.; Boston Scientific Corporation; Charles River Laboratories International, Inc.; DENTSPLY SIRONA Inc.; Edwards Lifesciences Corporation; Endo International plc; Hologic, Inc.; IDEXX Laboratories, Inc.; Incyte Corporation; Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc; Perrigo Company plc; Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc.; STERIS plc; Varian Medical Systems, Inc.; Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc.; and Zoetis Inc.

 

For 2020, the peer group consisted of Agilent Technologies, Inc.; Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc.; BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc.; Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc.; DENTSPLY SIRONA Inc.; Edwards Lifesciences Corporation; Endo International plc; Hologic, Inc.; IDEXX Laboratories, Inc.; Incyte Corporation; Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc; Mettler-Toledo International Inc.; PerkinElmer, Inc.; Perrigo Company plc; STERIS plc; United Therapeutics Corporation; Varian Medical Systems, Inc.; West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc.; and Zoetis Inc.

 

Returns for the 2020 peer group over the four-year period would have been $132, $156, $113, and $120 for 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023, respectively. Returns for the 2021 peer group over the four-year-year period would have been $118, $133, $106, and $119 for 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023, respectively. Returns for the 2022 peer group over the four-year-year period would have been $115, $139, $117, and $136 for 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023, respectively. Returns for the 2023 peer group over the four-year-year period would have been $125, $151, $117, and $133 for 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023, respectively.

(5) For 2023, the most important metric in determining CAP to our executive officers was our TSR, as a 22% increase in our share price was the primary driver in our year-over-year change in CAP. Because approximately 70% of our NEO and CEO's total on-target earnings is at-risk stock-based compensation, our executives’ CAP is closely aligned with the returns of our shareholders. However, because TSR is already reported in the table, we have identified our Company Selected Measure as Adjusted EBITDA. This measure was selected because it is a critical component embedded in the metrics of both our 2023 Annual Cash Incentive program as well as our 2022 and 2023 Performance Awards. For 2023, the combination of our Annual Cash Incentive and Performance Awards at target made up nearly half of at-target NEO compensation, so changes in Adjusted EBITDA have a material impact on resulting multiples in both metrics, impacting CAP to our executives. The full reconciliation between our GAAP Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA can be found in Appendix A: “Reconciliation of GAAP Reported to Selected Non-GAAP Adjusted Information.”

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Total Shareholder Return

Relationship between Pay and Performance

 

As described in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” our executive compensation program reflects a pay-for-performance philosophy. While we utilize several performance measures to align executive compensation with Company performance, all of those Company measures are not presented in the Pay Versus Performance table above. Moreover, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee generally seeks to incentivize long-term performance, and therefore, does not specifically align the Company’s performance measures with CAP (as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K) for a particular year. Furthermore, both total compensation and CAP are impacted by various factors described in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” including adjustments to NEO compensation over recent years on the glidepath to market competitive compensation.

 

In accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following descriptions of the relationships between CAP and the information presented in the Pay Versus Performance table.

 

CAP AND TSR VERSUS S&P 500 PHARMACEUTICALS INDEX

 

The chart below compares our TSR, S&P 500 Pharmaceuticals Index TSR, and CAP to our CEO and other NEOs (averaged) for the four-year period from 2020 to 2023. The graph compares the return on Elanco’s common stock with that of the S&P 500 Pharmaceuticals Index, as described in footnote 4 from our Pay Versus Performance Table. The graph assumes a person invested $100 at market close on December 31, 2019 (the last trading day of 2019) in both Elanco and the S&P 500 Pharmaceuticals Index, and measures TSR, through and including the end of the fiscal year, for each year shown below. This TSR calculation includes both stock price and dividends. It assumes that dividends paid by a company are reinvested in that company’s stock.

The charts shown below present a graphical comparison of CAP to our CEO and the average CAP to our other NEOs set forth in the Pay Versus Performance Table above, as compared against the following performance measures: (1) GAAP Net Income, and (2) Adjusted EBITDA.

 

Executive pay is not linked to GAAP Net Income; therefore, there is a limited relationship between this metric and CAP.

This TSR calculation includes both stock price and dividends. It assumes that dividends paid by a company are reinvested in that company’s stock.

Non-GAAP Measure Description
(5) For 2023, the most important metric in determining CAP to our executive officers was our TSR, as a 22% increase in our share price was the primary driver in our year-over-year change in CAP. Because approximately 70% of our NEO and CEO's total on-target earnings is at-risk stock-based compensation, our executives’ CAP is closely aligned with the returns of our shareholders. However, because TSR is already reported in the table, we have identified our Company Selected Measure as Adjusted EBITDA. This measure was selected because it is a critical component embedded in the metrics of both our 2023 Annual Cash Incentive program as well as our 2022 and 2023 Performance Awards. For 2023, the combination of our Annual Cash Incentive and Performance Awards at target made up nearly half of at-target NEO compensation, so changes in Adjusted EBITDA have a material impact on resulting multiples in both metrics, impacting CAP to our executives. The full reconciliation between our GAAP Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA can be found in Appendix A: “Reconciliation of GAAP Reported to Selected Non-GAAP Adjusted Information.”
