Remuneration report continued

 

The targets focused on the delivery of profit, cash flow, return on capital employed (ROCE), sales and key strategic objectives, with greatest weighting on the financial measures of profit and cash flow. For those executives responsible for the performance of one of ICI’s businesses, the heaviest weighting was on the profit of the executive’s own business, with the other financial measures being the cash flow, ROCE and sales performance of their business plus an element on ICI Group profit and cash flow performance.

On-target performance and the ranges defining minimum and maximum payment were agreed by the Remuneration Committee and were set to be appropriately challenging for the ICI Group and for each business. Indicatively, the financial performance required to achieve maximum payment in 2006 on the ICI Group profit measure was 10% greater than the level for on-target performance.

Bonus payments made to the executives in respect of ICI’s performance in 2006 reflected good performance, particularly against a backdrop of mixed market conditions. The Group exceeded the target level of performance for adjusted profit before tax and cash flow. Return on capital employed reached the on-target level for the Group. More than 75% of the bonus payments were linked to financial targets. Performance against key strategic objectives reflects targets that were focused on driving profitable growth and operating efficiency, implementing the restructuring plans and further developing the executive and senior management talent pool. The level of performance, against both financial targets and key strategic objectives, has been reviewed in detail by the Remuneration Committee which has approved the level of individual payments.

The payments under the 2006 Annual Incentive Plan are shown in the Directors’ emoluments table on page 49.

2005 Actual remuneration (continued)

The targets focused on the delivery of profit, cash flow, return on capital employed (ROCE), sales and key strategic objectives, with greatest weighting on the financial measures of profit and cash flow. For those executives responsible for the performance of one of ICI’s International Businesses, the heaviest weighting was on the profit of the executive’s own business, with the other financial measures being the cash flow, ROCE and sales performance of their business. On-target performance and the ranges defining minimum and maximum payment were agreed by the Remuneration Committee and were set to be appropriately challenging for the ICI Group and for each International Business. Indicatively, the financial performance required to achieve maximum payment in 2005 on the profit measures was 15% greater than the level for on-target performance.

Bonus payments made to the executives in respect of ICI’s performance in 2005 reflected the satisfactory progress made during the year in mixed trading conditions. The on-target level of performance for the Group profit measure was achieved and the on-target performance for cash flow before acquisitions and divestments was comfortably exceeded, whilst return on capital employed was just below the on-target level. Generally the International Businesses met or exceeded targets, with cash flow generation being of particular note, achieved through good working capital control and the effective management of capital expenditure. Payments for the financial elements comprised, on average, approximately 80% of the total bonus payments made for 2005.

The key strategic objectives for 2005 focused on driving down operating costs, development and retention of executive talent and, where required, developing and executing focused improvement plans for specific business areas to ensure they meet their strategic targets. The level of performance against the individual objectives has been reviewed in detail by the Remuneration Committee which has approved the appropriate levels of payment.

The payments under the 2005 Annual Incentive Plan are shown in the Directors’ emoluments table on page 45.
