Peer group, and who names Inspired Entertainment as a peer
Companies that benchmark against INSE
5 companies name INSE as a compensation peer
- Everi Holdings Inc.EVRIFY2024
- FULL HOUSE RESORTS INCFLLFY2025
- Janus International Group, Inc.JBIFY2025
- NEW ROYAL HOLDCO I INC.GDENFY2024
Each company listed discloses INSE 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 INSE in an earlier year and no longer does, and one whose own most recent disclosure is older than the last two seasons.
Disclosed peer group — fiscal year 2025
The compensation peer group as the company disclosed it in its own proxy — the reference set behind the percentile above.
Peer reciprocity
Of the companies Inspired Entertainment, Inc. names as compensation peers, which name it back in their own disclosed peer groups. A peer set the market reciprocates reads differently from one selected in a single direction.
Reciprocity shown where the peer’s own current proxy has been read — each mark is cited in the register to that peer’s filing. A dash means the peer’s current proxy was read and names no reciprocal group including Inspired Entertainment, Inc..
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.
