Tabular List, Table

In the periods presented, we use the following financial performance measures to link executive compensation to Company performance.

 

Financial Performance Measures

 

Adjusted EPS

 

Earnings from continuing operations before taxes, without special items

 

Business growth

  

The measure “Adjusted EPS” is a financial measure calculated by dividing net earnings attributable to the Company by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for significant, non-reoccurring and non-operational gains or losses to provide a view of the Company with respect to ongoing operating results. The measure is used in the calculation that determines achievement of a portion of the annual cash incentive award, representing approximately 70% of an executive’s total target cash incentive award in any year. Specifically, achievement of the award is based on the year-over-year percentage improvement in the three-year weighted average of our Adjusted EPS. The weighted average is computed by multiplying our Adjusted EPS for the most recently completed fiscal year by fifty percent (50%), and our Adjusted EPS for each of the two years immediately preceding the most recently completed fiscal year by twenty-five percent (25%). Year-over-year improvement of 500 basis points would result in the achievement of 100% of the target award amount, and each 700-basis point improvement thereafter would result in the achievement of an additional 100% of the target award amount. However, the award is capped at 200% of the target award amount, and any excess is carried forward into next year’s calculation, subject to risk of forfeiture depending upon the following year’s performance.

 

The measure “earnings from continuing operations before taxes, without special items” is a financial measure used to determine achievement of our performance share awards, which have a three-year vesting period and performance target goals based on this measure at the end of a three-year period.

The measure “business growth” is a financial measure used to determine achievement of a portion of the annual cash incentive award that is based on MBO goals, which collectively represent approximately 30% of an executive’s total target cash incentive award in any year. The measure is based on the aggregate dollar value of new business awarded in any year, less business lost, in all three of our operating segments – Engineered Solutions, Vehicle Control and Temperature Control.
