Under 17 CFR §229.402(v) (the Pay-Versus-Performance rule effective for fiscal years ending after December 16, 2022), issuers must reconcile Compensation Actually Paid (CAP) to Total Shareholder Return (TSR) over a multi-year window. The chart below visualizes the relationship between AIR LEASE CORP's reported CAP and TSR for FY2023.
ISS QualityScore and Glass-Lewis voting guidelines weight performance-linked share of pay. The CII (Council of Institutional Investors) recommends ≥50% of CEO pay be tied to multi-year performance metrics.
According to the 2023 DEF 14A proxy statement filed with the SEC, AIR LEASE CORP (, CIK 1487712) reported CEO 's total compensation at $9.2M. That figure is an aggregate of base salary (N/A). The median employee at the firm — the reference point mandated by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Act — earned $317,390 over the same fiscal year, producing the headline CEO-to-worker pay ratio of 29:1 that this page tracks.
Context matters when reading this ratio. AIR LEASE CORP operates in the Business Services sector and is headquartered in DE. Across the Business Services industry (SIC 73), 247 SEC-reporting companies disclosed pay ratios in FY2023, with a median of 82:1 and an average of 129:1. Median industry CEO pay was $7.8M, so AIR LEASE CORP's $9.2M sits above that typical figure. That comparison is the fastest way to separate "the CEO is paid like peers" from "this company is an outlier."
Finally, a note on what these SEC numbers do and do not include. Total compensation reported under Item 402 of Regulation S-K reflects grant-date fair value for equity awards, not realized pay, so a CEO may eventually cash in more — or less — depending on stock performance and vesting. The pay ratio itself is calculated against a single median employee chosen under rules that allow statistical sampling, and companies may update methodology year to year. This proxy was filed on 2024-03-18; all figures on this page come directly from that public filing and can be verified against the DEF 14A on the SEC EDGAR system.
