Companies that benchmark against ATKR
5 companies name ATKR as a compensation peer

Each company listed discloses ATKR 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 ATKR in an earlier year and no longer does, and one whose own most recent disclosure is older than the last two seasons.

Incentive-plan design — the Compensation Discussion & Analysis

The compensation program is designed to reward performance and align executive interests with stockholders by targeting total compensation at the median of the business markets in which the company participates. It emphasizes a pay-for-performance model where a significant portion of compensation is at-risk and tied to corporate, business unit, and individual performance metrics such as Adjusted EBITDA, working capital, and net income.
