Susan Duinhoven has been the CEO of Sanoma Oyj (HEL:SAA1V) since 2015. This report will, first, examine the CEO compensation levels in comparison to CEO compensation at companies of similar size. Next, we'll consider growth that the business demonstrates. And finally - as a second measure of performance - we will look at the returns shareholders have received over the last few years. This process should give us an idea about how appropriately the CEO is paid.

How Does Susan Duinhoven's Compensation Compare With Similar Sized Companies?
According to our data, Sanoma Oyj has a market capitalization of €1.7b, and paid its CEO total annual compensation worth €1.1m over the year to December 2018. While this analysis focuses on total compensation, it's worth noting the salary is lower, valued at €585k. When we examined a selection of companies with market caps ranging from €915m to €2.9b, we found the median CEO total compensation was €1.3m.
So Susan Duinhoven receives a similar amount to the median CEO pay, amongst the companies we looked at. While this data point isn't particularly informative alone, it gains more meaning when considered with business performance. Shareholders might be interested in this free visualization of analyst forecasts.
The graphic below shows how CEO compensation at Sanoma Oyj has changed from year to year.
Is Sanoma Oyj Growing?
Over the last three years Sanoma Oyj has grown its earnings per share (EPS) by an average of 56% per year (using a line of best fit). Its revenue is down 1.4% over last year.
This shows that the company has improved itself over the last few years. Good news for shareholders. While it would be good to see revenue growth, profits matter more in the end.
Has Sanoma Oyj Been A Good Investment?
Sanoma Oyj has generated a total shareholder return of 31% over three years, so most shareholders would be reasonably content. But they probably don't want to see the CEO paid more than is normal for companies around the same size.
In Summary...
Susan Duinhoven is paid around what is normal the leaders of comparable size companies.
The company is growing EPS but shareholder returns have been sound but not amazing. As a result of these considerations, I would suggest the CEO pay is reasonable. CEO compensation is one thing, but it is also interesting to check if the CEO is buying or selling Sanoma Oyj (free visualization of insider trades).
Arguably, business quality is much more important than CEO compensation levels. So check out this free list of interesting companies, that have HIGH return on equity and low debt.

As someone who has dealt directly with them as a CTO for a credit union, I have 8 years of horror stories about doing business with them. If there was any other competitor than could deliver 80% of Fiserv services, there would be a mad rush to migrate to them. They should thank their lucky stars they are a near monopoly. this industry is so ripe for a well funded competitor. Their integration of technology is awful, their ability to fix their own implementation screwups is sadly tragic. Sometimes they just silently kill support tickets without resolution and you never find out until you do a follow up inquiry. Why, because sometimes no one you are dealing with knows how to fix it and knows no one to ask for help. They can not meet their own implementation deadlines and sometimes there is no one on a technical team dealing with you that has any banking or credit union experience. The is an industry insider phrase when you meet other Fiserv customers called being "Fiserved". It means telling others of your worst stories of dealing with them. Ask around, all CTO's have some doozies.

Great narrative! Many people focus on AI nowadays (including me), and it's refreshing to see a deep dive into the fundamentals of a business like Green Tea. I really appreciate how you cut through the market noise to focus on the unit economics and the structural risks.I also write from a fundamentals-first perspective, and I'm currently working on an analysis of Samsung Electronics. I've been trying to refine how I balance factors such as financial health, future, and valuation of a company.If you have a moment, I'd love for you to take a look at my narritives. I'd value your perspective on whether my analysis holds up to the level of rigor you set here. No pressure at all, but I'd appreciate the feedback if you're open to it!
