FirstEnergy modifies executive LTIP awards, swapping Operating EPS for Core EPS metric
On June 17, 2025, FirstEnergy's Board approved changes to certain outstanding long-term incentive awards for its CEO, CFO, and other named executive officers. For the unfinished parts of the 2023-2025 and 2024-2026 performance periods, the 65% Operating EPS measure is replaced by Core EPS, which the company now uses for reporting and guidance, and the EPS payout is capped at 100% of target.
Key points
- Board action dated June 17, 2025, on the Compensation Committee's recommendation, applies to all eligible recipients of the 2023 and 2024 LTIP awards
- Operating EPS (weighted 65%) is replaced by Core EPS for January 1, 2025 onward; the relative total shareholder return measure (weighted 35%) is unchanged
- 2023-2025 awards: threshold $7.32 and target $7.76; 2024-2026 awards: threshold $7.44 and target $7.88, each with a 25% threshold payout and 100% target payout
- The change follows the company's early 2025 decision to report and guide on Core EPS, effective with the quarter ended March 31, 2025
