Comparing Ease2pay N.V.'s CEO Compensation With The Industry

At the time of writing, our data shows that Ease2pay N.V. has a market capitalization of €13m, and reported total annual CEO compensation of €88k for the year to December 2023. That's a fairly small increase of 7.3% over the previous year. It is worth noting that the CEO compensation consists entirely of the salary, worth €88k.

For comparison, other companies in the the Netherlands IT industry with market capitalizations below €187m, reported a median total CEO compensation of €293k. This suggests that Gijs van Lookeren Campagne is paid below the industry median.

On an industry level, roughly 71% of total compensation represents salary and 29% is other remuneration. On a company level, Ease2pay prefers to reward its CEO through a salary, opting not to pay Gijs van Lookeren Campagne through non-salary benefits. If salary dominates total compensation, it suggests that CEO compensation is leaning less towards the variable component, which is usually linked with performance.

Ease2pay N.V.'s Growth

Over the last three years, Ease2pay N.V. has shrunk its earnings per share by 67% per year. In the last year, its revenue is down 20%.

The decline in EPS is a bit concerning. This is compounded by the fact revenue is actually down on last year. So given this relatively weak performance, shareholders would probably not want to see high compensation for the CEO. Although we don't have analyst forecasts, you might want to assess this data-rich visualization of earnings, revenue and cash flow.

Has Ease2pay N.V. Been A Good Investment?

Few Ease2pay N.V. shareholders would feel satisfied with the return of -82% over three years. So shareholders would probably want the company to be less generous with CEO compensation.
