CEO and executive KMP KPIs and outcomes for 2018
CEO KPIs and outcomes
FAR
In February 2018, Woodside conducted a review of the CEO's remuneration. This review took into account the changes to the CEO’s
incentive structure alongside the CEO’s individual and company performance together with comparative data against a defined peer
group. This supported the Board's decision to award the CEO an increase of 7.9% in April 2018.
VAR
For 2018, the individual performance of the CEO was reviewed by the Board against five equally weighted measures. These metrics,
outlined in Table 4, were chosen because successful performance in each area is a key driver of superior shareholder returns.
At the completion of the year, the Board reviews the CEO’s performance for that year. The CEO is given an individual performance
score of between 0 and 1.6. The CEO’s overall IPF for 2018 was 1.29, resulting in an award of 85.8% of maximum. The 2018 award for
the CEO is detailed in Table 6a on page 86.
