How Does Total Compensation For Albrecht Hornbach Compare With Other Companies In The Industry?

Our data indicates that HORNBACH Holding AG & Co. KGaA has a market capitalization of €1.3b, and total annual CEO compensation was reported as €1.5m for the year to February 2024. Notably, that's an increase of 58% over the year before. While this analysis focuses on total compensation, it's worth acknowledging that the salary portion is lower, valued at €480k.

In comparison with other companies in the German Specialty Retail industry with market capitalizations ranging from €934m to €3.0b, the reported median CEO total compensation was €1.5m. This suggests that HORNBACH Holding KGaA remunerates its CEO largely in line with the industry average. What's more, Albrecht Hornbach holds €8.6m worth of shares in the company in their own name, indicating that they have a lot of skin in the game.

Component	2024	2023	Proportion (2024)
Salary	€480k	€480k	33%
Other	€976k	€445k	67%
Total Compensation	€1.5m	€925k	100%
