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 CORNING INC /NY'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, CORNING INC /NY (GLW, CIK 24741) reported CEO 's total compensation at $15.6M. 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 $42,240 over the same fiscal year, producing the headline CEO-to-worker pay ratio of 370:1 that this page tracks.
Context matters when reading this ratio. CORNING INC /NY operates in the Primary Metals sector and is headquartered in NY. Across the Primary Metals industry (SIC 33), 21 SEC-reporting companies disclosed pay ratios in FY2023, with a median of 90:1 and an average of 128:1. Median industry CEO pay was $6.7M, so CORNING INC /NY's $15.6M 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 2024-03-22; all figures on this page come directly from that public filing and can be verified against the DEF 14A on the SEC EDGAR system.
