Trane Technologies plc (TT) announced a new special long-term Outperformance Incentive Program (Outperformance Program) approved by its Human Resources and Compensation Committee on February 6, 2024.
This program is designed to incentivize executive officers and senior leaders to achieve exceptional, profitable revenue growth over a three-year period, from January 1, 2024, to December 31, 2026. The goal is to foster enterprise-wide collaboration and reward extraordinary efforts that surpass the company's existing short-term incentive program (AIM Program). The Outperformance Program offers participants the potential to earn incentive-based cash compensation ranging from 0%a to 200% of their target award.
Payouts are contingent on exceeding specific, fixed revenue growth targets measured against the AIM Program's maximum revenue targets, averaged over the three-year performance period. Stringent conditions apply, including a minimum revenue achievement and an "Enterprise Organic Leverage" metric (a measure of profit generation relative to revenue growth) of at least 25%b in each performance year for any benefit to accrue.
Maximum payouts require exceeding revenue targets by 200 basis points or more in all three years and maintaining the leverage metric at or above 25%c annually. Funding and payouts are subject to committee discretion and continued employment.
