Understanding This Pay Ratio

Park Aerospace Corp's CEO-to-worker pay ratio of 5:1 means that the CEO earned 5 times more than the company's median employee in FY2025.

The median employee at Park Aerospace Corp earned $60,648 annually. At that wage, it would take a median employee approximately 5 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).

Across the Transportation Equipment industry (SIC 37), 39 SEC-reporting companies disclosed pay ratios in FY2025, with a median of 165:1 and an average of 265:1.

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.
