Investor Expectation ———


Investors and company boards of directors have established annual targets for five key performance measures and the
Score (I.E.) importance weighting of each: EPS (20 points), ROE (20 points), Stock Price (20 points), Credit Rating (20 points), and
Image Rating (20 points). Pages 2 and 3 of this report show the investor expectation targets (in parenthesis just under
the column heads for each year). The score on a performance measure is equal to the percentage of the target that
was achieved. Achieving higher than targeted performance results in bonus awards of 0.5% for each 1% overachieved
(capped at 40% over the target). Thus, the Investor Expectation Score ranges from 0 to a max of 120 (if all targets are
exceeded by 40% or more).
Best-In-Industry —————
This scoring standard is based on how well each company performs relative to the best-performing company in the
Score (B-I-I) industry on EPS (20 points max), ROE (20 points max), Stock Price (20 points max), Credit Rating (20 points max), and
Image Rating (20 ponits max). In order to get a score of 100, a company must be the best performing company in the
industry on all 5 measures, achieve no lower than the investor expectation on EPS, ROE, Stock Price, and Image
Rating, and have an A+ Credit Rating.
Overall Score ——————
This measure is used to determine each company's ranking in the Year 20 Scoreboard and Game-To-Date Scoreboard
above. The overall score is determined by combining the Investor Expectation Score and the Best-In-Industry Score
into a single score using the 50%-50% weighting that was specified by your instructor.
