How Much is Bet-At-Home.com AG's (ETR:ACX) CEO Getting Paid?

The CEO of Bet-At-Home.com AG (ETR:ACX) is Franz Ömer. This report will, first, examine the CEO compensation levels in comparison to CEO compensation at companies of similar size. Next, we'll consider growth that the business demonstrates. And finally - as a second measure of performance - we will look at the returns shareholders have received over the last few years. This process should give us an idea about how appropriately the CEO is paid.

How Does Franz Ömer's Compensation Compare With Similar Sized Companies?

Our data indicates that Bet-At-Home.com AG is worth €375m, and total annual CEO compensation was reported as €1.2m for the year to December 2018. While this analysis focuses on total compensation, it's worth noting the salary is lower, valued at €470k. We note that more than half of the total compensation is not the salary; and performance requirements may apply to this non-salary portion. We looked at a group of companies with market capitalizations from €179m to €718m, and the median CEO total compensation was €739k.

It would therefore appear that Bet-At-Home.com AG pays Franz Ömer more than the median CEO remuneration at companies of a similar size, in the same market. However, this fact alone doesn't mean the remuneration is too high. We can get a better idea of how generous the pay is by looking at the performance of the underlying business.

The graphic below shows how CEO compensation at Bet-At-Home.com has changed from year to year.

Is Bet-At-Home.com AG Growing?

Bet-At-Home.com AG has increased its earnings per share (EPS) by an average of 5.4% a year, over the last three years (using a line of best fit). In the last year, its revenue is up 6.0%.

I'm not particularly impressed by the revenue growth, but the modest improvement in EPS is good. So there are some positives here, but not enough to earn high praise. It could be important to check this free visual depiction of what analysts expect for the future.

Has Bet-At-Home.com AG Been A Good Investment?

With a three year total loss of 19%, Bet-At-Home.com AG would certainly have some dissatisfied shareholders. This suggests it would be unwise for the company to pay the CEO too generously.

In Summary...

We compared the total CEO remuneration paid by Bet-At-Home.com AG, and compared it to remuneration at a group of similar sized companies. As discussed above, we discovered that the company pays more than the median of that group.

The growth in the business has been uninspiring, but the shareholder returns have arguably been worse, over the last three years. Shareholders may wish to consider further research. Although we don't think the CEO pay is too high, it is probably more on the generous side of things.
