Netflix has issued estimates for the 2023 compensation for its top executives, with Co-CEOs Reed Hastings and Ted Sarandos set to take home $34.65 million and $40 million, respectively.
The forecast by the board of director’s compensation committee, disclosed today in an SEC filing, is in line with 2022 as far as the top execs. Hastings will receive $650,000 in base salary and stock options worth $34 million. Sarandos will get a salary of $3 million, options worth another $20 million and a target bonus of $17 million.
Netflix is among the few companies issuing guidance for executive pay, rather than reporting figures from prior periods.
Greg Peters, the company’s COO and head of product and the key overseer of the company’s launch of an ad-supported subscription tier, is in line to receive $24 million in 2023, the same outlook the company gave heading into 2022. Of that total, $1.5 million is base salary; options are $10 million and bonus is $10.5 million. Last year, he was not slated to receive a bonus.
“Awards under the plan will only be paid after achievement of specified performance goals,” the filing notes. “The committee will be the administrator of the plan and will assign each participant a target award and performance goal or goals for a performance period set by the committee. The estimated target bonus amounts set out in the table above are estimates only, and any actual amounts that may be paid to the may differ based on factors adopted by the committee pursuant to the plan.”
The landscape has shifted dramatically for Hastings and Sarandos over the past year. Heading into 2022, the company’s stock was still above $600 and the company’s dominance was illustrated by the global success of shows like Squid
