How Does Total Compensation For Jim Beyer Compare With Other Companies In The Industry?

According to our data, Regis Resources Limited has a market capitalization of AU$1.4b, and paid its CEO total annual compensation worth AU$1.8m over the year to June 2023. That's a notable increase of 9.6% on last year. While this analysis focuses on total compensation, it's worth acknowledging that the salary portion is lower, valued at AU$829k.

For comparison, other companies in the Australian Metals and Mining industry with market capitalizations ranging between AU$613m and AU$2.5b had a median total CEO compensation of AU$1.5m. This suggests that Regis Resources remunerates its CEO largely in line with the industry average. What's more, Jim Beyer holds AU$867k worth of shares in the company in their own name.

Talking in terms of the industry, salary represented approximately 61% of total compensation out of all the companies we analyzed, while other remuneration made up 39% of the pie. Regis Resources pays a modest slice of remuneration through salary, as compared to the broader industry. If non-salary compensation dominates total pay, it's an indicator that the executive's salary is tied to company performance.

Regis Resources Limited's Growth

Regis Resources Limited has reduced its earnings per share by 100% a year over the last three years. In the last year, its revenue is up 12%.

Few shareholders would be pleased to read that EPS have declined. There's no doubt that the silver lining is that revenue is up. But it isn't sufficiently fast growth to overlook the fact that EPS has gone backwards over three years. It's hard to argue the company is firing on all cylinders, so shareholders might be averse to high CEO remuneration.
