Incentive-plan design — the Compensation Discussion & Analysis

The Company adopts a 'pay-for-performance' compensation program that links a substantial portion of compensation to the achievement of financial and operational objectives, specifically annual adjusted diluted net earnings per share targets. The program rewards the achievement of these targets with cash bonuses and performance-based restricted stock units that vest over a minimum three-year period to align executive interests with long-term shareholder value.

Peer group, and who names Hackett as a peer

Companies that benchmark against HCKT

6 companies name HCKT as a compensation peer

Each company listed discloses HCKT in its own benchmarking peer group, as disclosed in each company's most recent proxy statement within the last two proxy seasons. Two companies are therefore absent by design: one that named HCKT in an earlier year and no longer does, and one whose own most recent disclosure is older than the last two seasons.

Chief executive pay against the peer group

Most recent fiscal-year chief executive compensation at each disclosed peer, taken from that company’s own proxy statement.

Rank	Company	FY	Chief executive	Salary	Stock awards	Option awards	Non-equity incentive	Total
1	Hackett Group, Inc	2025	Ted A. Fernandez	$900,000	$334,688	$0	$393,750	$1,628,438

Each peer’s compensation is from its most recently filed proxy; fiscal years differ by company. Each peer’s figures come from its own filings; the subject company is highlighted. Peers whose chief executive compensation is outside our coverage universe are stated as such, never left blank.
