Executive Summary

Vyaderm Pharmaceuticals is an American Pharmaceutical manufacturing organisation which


started manufacturing common drugs like Penicillin. Later on, they also evolved into patent-
protected as well as brand-protected products. Currently, Vyaderm Pharmaceuticals majorly
work in area related to dermatology, gastroenterology, and veterinary drugs. And have 15
subsidiaries worldwide. The top executives of the company feel that the executives are working
just for improving the ‘Earnings per Share’ data and this doesn’t allow the synergy between
the division and subsidiary for the overall growth of company.
Along with this even though the company was able to meet the market analyst predictions, the
profit of the company was slipping. CEO Maurice Vedrine felt that it is happening because due
to previous CEO the manager were focused only on improving the ‘Earnings per Share’ and
wanted to implement the EVA system as he believed that this would make manager focus more
on the long term growth of the company.
We have calculated the EVA and Bonus Payment of a manager for the year 2017 and estimated
the same for 2018 under historic growth assumptions to understand the implication of
implementing EVA as the sole metric for performance bonus payment
We observe the EVA provides a more comprehensive and transparent method of bonus
calculation but it can drastically change for varying income growth rate.

Problem Statement
To calculate the bonus of a manager using the EVA method for the year 2017 and estimated
for the year 2018 and assess whether the proposed method of EVA should be implemented
throughout the organisation

Different cases for evaluation


A. We’ll calculate the 2017 EVA for the North American Dermatology Division

B. To see the implications on bonus, we’ll calculate the 2017 EVA bonus pay-out for a
manager earning $300,000, for a bonus which is based 100% on division’s EVA

C. We’ll estimate the bonus pay-out for the same manager, considering profits falling back to
the same level as before and the EVA improvement goal remaining constant. This will help
us get an idea about the method’s practicality in cases where profits fall.
