Comparing One Glove Group Berhad's CEO Compensation With The Industry
Our data indicates that One Glove Group Berhad has a market capitalization of RM111m, and total annual CEO compensation was reported as RM635k for the year to March 2024. That's a notable decrease of 19% on last year. In particular, the salary of RM540.0k, makes up a huge portion of the total compensation being paid to the CEO.
For comparison, other companies in the Malaysia Medical Equipment industry with market capitalizations below RM875m, reported a median total CEO compensation of RM916k. Accordingly, One Glove Group Berhad pays its CEO under the industry median. Moreover, BT Low also holds RM40m worth of One Glove Group Berhad stock directly under their own name, which reveals to us that they have a significant personal stake in the company.

Salary | RM540k | RM810k | 85% |
Other | RM95k | 15% | |
Total Compensation | RM635k | RM785k | 100% |
On an industry level, around 74% of total compensation represents salary and 26% is other remuneration. It's interesting to note that One Glove Group Berhad pays out a greater portion of remuneration through salary, compared to the industry. If total compensation veers towards salary, it suggests that the variable portion - which is generally tied to performance, is lower.
