While EVA (or Economic Value Added) is not new, it has been one of the more obscure financial performance metrics for incentive compensation. However, thanks to ISS, it is now center stage. Beginning this year, EVA will be included for “informational purposes” in some ISS research reports. Further, ISS has indicated that they may include EVA in the Financial Performance Assessment (FPA) screens in the future.
What do you need to know about this enigmatic performance metric and how does it apply to compensation plans with a pay-for-performance orientation? This webinar will provide a starting point for understanding EVA and how to evaluate its relevance to your industry, company, and incentive programs.
The Agenda:
- What is EVA?
- Why are we talking about it?
- What are its benefits and challenges?
- What must boards do?
