Comparing Hill Incorporated's CEO Compensation With The Industry

Our data indicates that Hill Incorporated has a market capitalization of CA$1.2m, and total annual CEO compensation was reported as CA$293k for the year to June 2024. That's a modest increase of 7.5% on the prior year. Notably, the salary of CA$293k is the entirety of the CEO compensation.

On comparing similar-sized companies in the Canada Personal Products industry with market capitalizations below CA$277m, we found that the median total CEO compensation was CA$112k. Hence, we can conclude that Craig Binkley is remunerated higher than the industry median.

On an industry level, it's fascinating to see that all of total compensation represents salary and non-salary benefits do not factor into the equation at all. On a company level, Hill prefers to reward its CEO through a salary, opting not to pay Craig Binkley through non-salary benefits. If total compensation veers towards salary, it suggests that the variable portion - which is generally tied to performance, is lower.

Hill Incorporated's Growth

Hill Incorporated's earnings per share (EPS) grew 37% per year over the last three years. It saw its revenue drop 39% over the last year.

Overall this is a positive result for shareholders, showing that the company has improved in recent years. The lack of revenue growth isn't ideal, but it is the bottom line that counts most in business. While we don't have analyst forecasts for the company, shareholders might want to examine this detailed historical graph of earnings, revenue and cash flow.
