How Does Francis Tiong's Compensation Compare With Similar Sized Companies?
Our data indicates that Media Chinese International Limited is worth HK$591m, and total annual CEO compensation is US$486k. (This figure is for the year to March 2019). Notably, that's an increase of 22% over the year before. While we always look at total compensation first, we note that the salary component is less, at US$326k. We looked at a group of companies with market capitalizations under US$200m, and the median CEO total compensation was US$225k.
It would therefore appear that Media Chinese International Limited pays Francis Tiong more than the median CEO remuneration at companies of a similar size, in the same market. However, this fact alone doesn't mean the remuneration is too high. We can get a better idea of how generous the pay is by looking at the performance of the underlying business.
You can see, below, how CEO compensation at Media Chinese International has changed over time.
Is Media Chinese International Limited Growing?
Media Chinese International Limited has reduced its earnings per share by an average of 100% a year, over the last three years (measured with a line of best fit). The trailing twelve months of revenue was pretty much the same as the prior period.
Sadly for shareholders, earnings per share are actually down, over three years. And the flat revenue hardly impresses. So given this relatively weak performance, shareholders would probably not want to see high compensation for the CEO.
