Iridium Communications sets 2025 bonus plan for executives

MCLEAN, VA – Iridium Communications Inc. (NASDAQ:IRDM), a $3.24 billion market cap satellite communications company, has announced the approval of its 2025 Performance Bonus Plan, which outlines the potential bonus structure for employees, including top executives. According to InvestingPro data, the company maintains strong profitability with a 72.19% gross margin and healthy liquidity metrics. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved the plan on February 6, 2025, with the intent to incentivize and retain key personnel through performance-based rewards.

Under the new plan, employees eligible for a bonus must remain in service through the payment date, except in certain circumstances such as death, disability, or qualifying retirement. The plan specifies that a Target (NYSE:TGT) Bonus Award for each participant will be determined by multiplying their base salary by a Target Bonus Percentage established by the Committee. With a current P/E ratio of 30.11x and strong financial health metrics, InvestingPro analysis indicates the company has maintained its profitable status over the last twelve months.

Key executives have their Target Bonus Percentages set as follows: CEO Matthew J. Desch at 100%, COO Suzanne E. McBride at 80%, CFO Vincent J. O’Neill and EVP of Government Programs Scott T. Scheimreif both at 65%. The actual Bonus Award will be based on corporate performance factors, including operational EBITDA, strategic goals, and network and quality metrics. This figure can be adjusted by the Committee with a personal performance factor ranging from 0% to 150%.

The first 60% of each executive officer’s Target Bonus Award will be granted as restricted stock units on March 1, 2025, with potential vesting in March 2026 upon meeting performance goals and continued service. Cash payments for any earned amounts exceeding 60% of the Target Bonus Award will be issued by March 15, 2026. Additionally, the plan includes provisions for recoupment of incentives in accordance with the company’s Incentive Compensation Recoupment Policy.

This announcement is based on the recent SEC filing by Iridium Communications Inc. Further details of the Iridium Bonus Plan will be included in the company’s upcoming Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending March 31, 2025.
