Notes: 1. The CEO single figure used in the calculation of the 2023 ratios reflects a blended figure for Nick Read and Margherita Della Valle, recognising the change in incumbency for the role during this year. 2. The CEO single figure used in the calculation of the 2019 ratios reflects a blended figure for Vittorio Colao and Nick Read, recognising the change in incumbency for the role during this year. The pay ratio figures in the above table are calculated using the following total pay and benefits information: Year Supporting information 25th percentile pay ratio (£’000) Median pay ratio (£’000) 75th percentile pay ratio (£’000) 2024 Salary 35.9 54.6 72.8 Total pay and benefits 41.3 63.7 88.5 2023 Salary 26.5 56.1 75.6 Total pay and benefits 34.6 70.5 92.8 2022 Salary 31.7 47.1 71.5 Total pay and benefits 36.9 57.5 87.2 2021 Salary 30.0 37.1 71.2 Total pay and benefits 33.5 41.0 85.3 2020 Salary 28.0 42.8 65.0 Total pay and benefits 31.3 51.1 78.6 2019 Salary 23.1 36.4 65.0 Total pay and benefits 28.3 40.8 78.2 The calculation methodology used reflects Option B as defined under the relevant regulations. In line with the relevant regulations this utilises the most recently collected and disclosed data analysed within our Gender Pay Gap report, with employees at the three quartiles identified from this analysis and their respective single figure values calculated. To ensure this data accurately reflects individuals at such quartiles, the single figure values for individuals immediately above and below the identified employee at each quartile within the gender pay gap analysis were also reviewed. In recent years our ratios have remained relatively consistent, reflecting how the single figures for both the Chief Executive and employees at the quartile positions have remained stable when viewed over the period set out in the table above. In general we expect the ratios to be primarily driven by the valuation of the long-term incentive that is included in the Chief Executive’s single figure for the year.
