Companies that benchmark against WMS
11 companies name WMS as a compensation peer

Each company listed discloses WMS 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 WMS 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 Company's compensation philosophy focuses on linking equity compensation to sustained value creation for stockholders, placing greater emphasis on variable pay versus fixed pay, and ensuring performance predominantly drives compensation. Compensation levels are benchmarked against a peer group, generally positioning total compensation between the 25th and 75th percentiles while recognizing individual performance and skills.
