Compensation History

See how much did Dean A. Scarborough make over time.

In 2016, Dean A. Scarborough's compensation totaled over $2.8 million, a significant decline from his 2015 total of $8.5 million as he transitioned to Executive Chairman. His pay mainly consisted of a base salary, as there were no bonuses in 2016 due to his role change. In prior years, like in 2015, his compensation was heavily influenced by performance metrics, including adjusted sales growth and cash flow. This made his payout more variable compared to many executives who might stick to a fixed salary structure. In 2015 alone, Scarborough earned a salary of $1.12 million complemented by other forms of compensation such as a significant bonus based on performance. His pay structure reflects a philosophy where a considerable portion of executive compensation is tied directly to achieving substantial company goals.
