Understanding This Pay Ratio

COMMERCIAL METALS Co's CEO-to-worker pay ratio of 99:1 means that the CEO earned 99 times more than the company's median employee in FY2024.

The median employee at COMMERCIAL METALS Co earned $80,849 annually. At that wage, it would take a median employee approximately 99 years to earn what the CEO earned in a single year.

Why cross-company pay-ratio comparisons need caution

SEC rules let each company choose its own methodology for identifying the "median employee" (measurement date, statistical sampling, whether part-time pay is annualized, and a de minimis exemption for up to 5% of non-U.S. employees), so a higher ratio doesn't automatically mean less-fair pay practices, it can also reflect workforce mix (a large offshore, outsourced, or part-time-heavy workforce lowers the reported median and raises the ratio for reasons unrelated to CEO compensation itself).

COMMERCIAL METALS Co operates in the Primary Metals sector and is headquartered in DE. Across the Primary Metals industry (SIC 33), 14 SEC-reporting companies disclosed pay ratios in FY2025, with a median of 72:1 and an average of 128:1. Median industry CEO pay was $4.2M, so COMMERCIAL METALS Co's $8.0M sits above that typical figure.

This proxy was filed on 2025-11-25; all figures on this page come directly from that public filing and can be verified against the DEF 14A on the SEC EDGAR system.

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.
