Based on feedback obtained through its 2016 policy survey, ISS has announced that it will incorporate an additional pay-for-performance metric into its analysis beginning in 2017. Specifically, ISS has developed a new metric that compares the relative degree of alignment between the CEO's annualized total awarded compensation and the company's performance as calculated by ISS based on six financial metrics, with both compensation and financial performance being measured relative to an ISS-selected peer group over a three-year period. The six financial performance metrics that will be used in this analysis are (a) return on invested capital, (b) return on assets, (c) return on equity, (d) revenue growth, (e) EBITDA growth, and (f) growth in cash flow from operations. The weight that ISS places on each of these six metrics will vary by industry for purposes of producing the new numerical weighted financial performance metric.
