Reading the Electric, Gas & Sanitary Services CEO Pay Landscape (SIC 49, FY2025)
The Electric, Gas & Sanitary Services industry, classified under 2-digit SIC code 49, had 57 SEC-reporting public companies disclose CEO pay ratio data in fiscal year 2025. Across that set of firms, the median CEO-to-worker pay ratio was 79:1 and the average was 80:1. Median CEO total compensation in the sector was $11.0M, with the sector-wide average at $12.1M. These figures are aggregated from DEF 14A proxy statements filed under Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Act, which requires every U.S.-listed reporting company to compare its CEO's total compensation against a representative median employee.
Pay dispersion inside this industry is substantial. The 25th percentile CEO in Electric, Gas & Sanitary Services earned $6.1M, while the 75th percentile CEO earned $16.2M - a spread that shows how firm size, equity-heavy compensation packages, and performance-linked incentives can drive very different outcomes even among peers sharing the same SIC code. When the average and median ratios are close, as they are here, pay practices in the sector are relatively uniform and the median is a reliable representative value.
