We Think Shareholders May Want To Consider A Review Of Dish TV India Limited's (NSE:DISHTV) CEO Compensation Package

Dish TV India Limited (NSE:DISHTV) has not performed well recently and CEO Anil Dua will probably need to up their game. Shareholders will be interested in what the board will have to say about turning performance around at the next AGM on 30 December 2021. It would also be an opportunity for shareholders to influence management through voting on company resolutions such as executive remuneration, which could impact the firm significantly. The data we present below explains why we think CEO compensation is not consistent with recent performance.

Comparing Dish TV India Limited's CEO Compensation With the industry

According to our data, Dish TV India Limited has a market capitalization of ₹32b, and paid its CEO total annual compensation worth ₹44m over the year to March 2021. That's a modest increase of 5.9% on the prior year. We note that the salary portion, which stands at ₹35.1m constitutes the majority of total compensation received by the CEO.

On comparing similar companies from the same industry with market caps ranging from ₹15b to ₹60b, we found that the median CEO total compensation was ₹37m. This suggests that Dish TV India remunerates its CEO largely in line with the industry average.

Component	2021	2020	Proportion (2021)
Salary	₹35m	₹34m	80%
Other	₹8.7m	₹7.1m	20%
Total Compensation	₹44m	₹41m	100%

Speaking on an industry level, nearly 100% of total compensation represents salary, while the remainder of 0.2491% is other remuneration. Dish TV India pays a modest slice of remuneration through salary, as compared to the broader industry. If salary is the major component in total compensation, it suggests that the CEO receives a higher fixed proportion of the total compensation, regardless of performance.

Dish TV India Limited's Growth

Over the last three years, Dish TV India Limited has shrunk its earnings per share by 30% per year. In the last year, its revenue is down 12%.

Few shareholders would be pleased to read that EPS have declined. And the fact that revenue is down year on year arguably paints an ugly picture. These factors suggest that the business performance wouldn't really justify a high pay packet for the CEO. Historical performance can sometimes be a good indicator on what's coming up next but if you want to peer into the company's future you might be interested in this free visualization of analyst forecasts.

Has Dish TV India Limited Been A Good Investment?

With a total shareholder return of -53% over three years, Dish TV India Limited shareholders would by and large be disappointed. Therefore, it might be upsetting for shareholders if the CEO were paid generously.

To Conclude...

Along with the business performing poorly, shareholders have suffered with poor share price returns on their investments, suggesting that there's little to no chance of them being in favor of a CEO pay raise. At the upcoming AGM, the board will get the chance to explain the steps it plans to take to improve business performance.
