Comparing Allot Ltd.'s CEO Compensation With The Industry

Our data indicates that Allot Ltd. has a market capitalization of US$48m, and total annual CEO compensation was reported as US$782k for the year to December 2022. That's a notable decrease of 10% on last year. We think total compensation is more important but our data shows that the CEO salary is lower, at US$286k.

On comparing similar-sized companies in the American Software industry with market capitalizations below US$200m, we found that the median total CEO compensation was US$630k. So it looks like Allot compensates Erez Antebi in line with the median for the industry. What's more, Erez Antebi holds US$531k worth of shares in the company in their own name.

Speaking on an industry level, nearly 12% of total compensation represents salary, while the remainder of 88% is other remuneration. Allot pays out 37% of remuneration in the form of a salary, significantly higher than the industry average. If total compensation is slanted towards non-salary benefits, it indicates that CEO pay is linked to company performance.

A Look at Allot Ltd.'s Growth Numbers

Allot Ltd. has reduced its earnings per share by 59% a year over the last three years. In the last year, its revenue is down 22%.

Few shareholders would be pleased to read that EPS have declined. And the fact that revenue is down year on year arguably paints an ugly picture. These factors suggest that the business performance wouldn't really justify a high pay packet for the CEO.
