FEATURE Salary survey Bringing home the bacon FTSE 100 finance chiefs earned £2.4m on average, while those in the FTSE 250 averaged total pay of £1.1m, finds Richard Crump A nyone who says that money can’t buy you happiness should take a look at the latest findings from Financial Director’s annual CFO salary survey. According to the latest survey of the remuneration packages of finance chiefs at the UK’s largest listed companies, total average pay for chief financial officers who are plying their trade in the FTSE 100 and FTSE 250 reached £2.4m and £1.1m, respectively. Indeed, calculations by the High Pay Centre (HPC) think-tank found that, by the end of 6 January, Britain’s most senior executives will have picked up more money in 2015 than the average UK worker earns in an entire year. Our survey – compiled from companies’ 2014 annual accounts – found that finance chiefs at the UK’s largest companies saw their base salaries fall, reflecting shareholder pressure on executive pay. The base salaries of FTSE 100 FDs fell 6.2%% to £478,592, while bonuses increased by 4.4%% to £554,264. Lower down in the FTSE 250, CFOs saw their salaries jump 5.4% to 315,085, while bonuses increased 9.9%% to £307,188. This year’s iteration of the survey is more comprehensive than ever and includes more data related to other forms of remuneration, including pensions and long-term and short-term incentive plans. As such, overall salaries appear larger than in previous surveys. Strong performance The results also appear to have been improved further by the strong performance of the FTSE in late 2013 and early 2014. London’s FTSE 100 index ended the year having recorded its biggest annual gain since 2009, with the benchmark closing up 14.4% for the year. The FTSE 250, meanwhile, closed at an all-time high – up 28.8% for the year. Both long- and short-term incentive plans received a welcome boost. 26 | financialdirector.co.uk | February 2015 HIGHEST SALARY £1,083,000 Graham Kerr, BHP Billiton HIGHEST TOTAL PAY £9,176,000 Paul Richardson, WPP BEST-PAID WOMAN £3,784,000 Deirdre Mahlan, Diageo BIGGEST BONUS £3,222,000 Iain Mackay, HSBC LONGEST-SERVING CFO £429,000 Allen Roberts, Renishaw (34 years) WOMEN FDs Index Company Name Total remuneration 100 3i Group Julia Wilson £1,222,000 100 Ashtead Group Suzanne Wood £2,355,000 100 British Land Co Lucinda Bell £2,288,686 100 Burberry Group Carol Fairweather £1,049,000 250 Cairn Energy Jann Brown £784,474 100 CRH Maeve Carton £1,063,340 250 Dechra Pharmaceuticals Anne-Francoise Nesmes £901,000 100 Diageo Deirdre Mahlan £3,784,000 100 Hargreaves Lansdown Tracey Taylor £1,153,000 100 Kingfisher Karen Witts £1,540,900 250 Lancashire Holdings Elaine Whelan £2,033,700 250 Mitie Group Suzanne Baxter £860,678 250 Ophir Energy Lisa Mitchell £584,000 250 Redrow Barbara Richmond £1,217,000 250 Rightmove Robyn Perriss £503,016 100 Smith & Nephew Julie Brown £1,943,823 100 Standard Life Jackie Hunt £228,000 250 Stock Spirits Group Lesley Jackson £1,363,540 250 Ultra Electronics Holdings Mary Waldner £241,000 “Bonus outcomes were lifted by the headwinds of share price increases,” explains Alastair Woods, a director in PwC’s rewards team. The survey also finds CFOs were individually taking home improved pay deals. In the past financial year, five finance chiefs took home a base salary of £800,000 or above – compared to none in last year’s survey – while 160 finance directors took home total earnings of more than £1m. The previous year only 64 chief financial officers in the index achieved this feat. The number of women working within the FTSE 350 increased to 19 from 17 – still woefully underrepresented despite attempts to make boardrooms more diverse. Nevertheless, remuneration terms for women improved on average in the past financial year. But women are still some way from achieving parity of pay with their male peers.

By comparison, Paul Richardson, CFO at WPP and the highestpaid chief financial officer in the past financial year, received an eye-watering £9.2m for services rendered to the advertising giant. However, Richardson’s pay is somewhat of an anomaly – it is almost £4m higher than that of David Keens, who retires from Next later this year – so perhaps a better benchmark for gender comparison is the consideration that Mahlan was paid less than any of the top ten earners in the index. A full breakdown of the remuneration packages of every single chief financial officer in the FTSE 350 is available on www. financialdirector.co.uk ■ The Financial Director salary survey has been produced using data based on disclosure in 2013/14 annual reports. Bonuses include cash and sharebased bonuses, as well as deferred bonuses. Constituents of the FTSE 350 are correct as of November 2014. Remuneration information is provided for all companies where the finance director sits on the board of directors. In instances where the finance director is part of the management, but does not sit on the board, no information has been provided. Some finance directors featured in the list resigned from their roles during 2014, but feature in the list as remuneration terms were provided in their company’s annual accounts. Except as noted, data may exclude that of finance directors who have not served a full year. Individual FDs listed may have left their company or been promoted since the balance sheet date.
