Compensation History

See how much did David Lopez make over time.

In 2022, David Lopez received a total compensation of approximately $1.43 million, which included a base salary of $700,000 and a performance-based bonus of $714,000. His bonuses are tied directly to the company’s key performance indicators and overall EBITDA targets, showcasing a consistent focus on financial performance. The previous year, he had a total pay of about $923,000, indicating a notable increase due to achieving corporate goals. In 2020, Lopez’s compensation faced challenges with no bonuses due to unmet performance targets, resulting in $578,846 for the year. This illustrates how variable and all-encompassing his compensation can be, directly tied to both his leadership and the company's outcomes. Beyond salary and bonuses, Lopez’s compensation package included benefits, matching contributions under the company’s 401(k) plan, and other perks that contribute to total earnings but are often overlooked during financial assessments. By sticking to this performance-driven model, Lopez aims to align his goals with those of the shareholders.
