o     Gross Margin, Contribution Margin: 80% of target

 

●     Payout at the threshold level of performance will be 50% of the target allocated to that metric.

Calculation Guidelines
 

Total Company Metrics

Company EPS   

The adjusted EPS as disclosed in the Company’s quarterly earnings release.

 

HBF Organic Revenue 

	
 
	
●
	
The adjusted reported revenue as disclosed in the Company’s quarterly earnings release is adjusted for currency impact compared to budgeted exchange rates.

	 	 	 
	 	● 	Unbudgeted acquisitions and divestitures are excluded from the calculation.
	 	 	 

HBF Operating Income

	
 
	
●
	
The adjusted gross profit minus adjusted SG&A expenses as disclosed in the Company’s quarterly earnings release adjusted for currency impact compared to budgeted exchange rates. 

	 	 	 
	 	●	Unbudgeted acquisitions and divestitures are excluded from the calculation.

     

Region/Operating Segment Metrics

Organic Revenue

	 	
●
	
Total company adjustments are transferred down to the region/operating segment revenue which is impacted by the adjustments, unless not approved by the CEO.

	 	 	 
	 	
●
	
Basis of targets is US dollars. The budgeted exchange rates will be used to assess performance.

	 	 	 
	 	
●
	
Unbudgeted acquisitions and divestitures are excluded from the calculation.

  

Fully allocated operating income

	 	
●
	
At the region/operating segment level, operating income targets include corporate governance allocation at budget. In determining performance, actual corporate governance allocations will be used at the region/operating segment level. Below the region/operating segment level, the corporate governance allocation will remain at budget for measuring performance, where applicable.

	 	 	 
	 	
●
	
Total company adjustments are transferred down to the region/operating segment operating income which is impacted by the adjustments, unless not approved by the CEO.

Adjustments

In calculating the results, the following adjustments will be made:

	
 
	a.	
Individual legal settlements (payments or receipts) with a value (net of insurance) of $3 million or greater will not be included in metric calculations.

	 	b.	Any unbudgeted reorganization or restructuring-related items which cannot be offset by related benefits in the fiscal year will not be included in metric calculations.
	 	c.	Any unbudgeted asset write-downs in excess of $2 million will not be included in metric calculations.
	 	d.	Adjustments needed to (1) correct any inadvertent errors or miscalculations made in setting a performance target for our key markets (such as Hygiene, Packaging, or Durable Assembly) or (2) account for changes resulting from new accounting definitions, requirements or pronouncements.
	 	e.	Other items as publicly disclosed in the Company’s quarterly earnings release. However, the above adjustments (a-d) will not be made to the extent they are inconsistent with publicly disclosed earnings.

 

Any discretion related to total company adjustments transferred to the region/operating segment exercised by the CEO requires approval by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.
