Comparative representation of the annual change within the meaning of Section 162 (1) sentence 2 No. 2 AktG (so-called vertical comparison)
The provision of Section 162 (1) sentence 2 No. 2 AktG requires a comparative presentation of the annual change in the remuneration of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board, the development of earnings of the company and the average remuneration of the employees on a full-time equivalent basis. The annual change was determined as follows:
•The earnings development of the company was based on the annual result according to the profit and loss account. Since NORMA Group SE is the parent company of the Group and the variable remuneration of the Management Board is based, among other aspects, on Group earnings figures (e.g. adjusted Group EBIT), this figure was also included in the comparative presentation.
•The determination of the change in the average remuneration of employees on a full-time equivalent basis was based on the entire workforce in Germany (excluding the Management Board) on the one hand and on the collectively bargained employees in Germany on the other, since this data is comparable with the other remuneration due to the legal and social security framework.
•For the sake of completeness, it should be mentioned that the remuneration data for 2020 was influenced by both short-time work and executive pay cuts.
The annual changes for the years 2019 to 2022 are as follows:
