Franklin Electric Co., Inc. is asking shareholders to vote at its May 8, 2026 annual meeting on electing two directors, ratifying Deloitte & Touche as auditor, approving executive pay, and setting the frequency of future say‑on‑pay votes.
The company reports record 2025 net sales of $2.1 billion, up 5.4%, operating income of $269 million (up 10%), and strong cash conversion of 126%. Water Systems contributed about 60% of 2025 revenue, with additional growth from Energy Systems and the Headwater distribution business, supported by acquisitions in Australia and Colombia.
Compensation is heavily performance‑based: in 2025, 55–66% of named executive officers’ target pay was at risk through bonuses and equity. Annual incentives used operating income, cash flow and business‑unit metrics, while long‑term incentives combined options, restricted stock and performance share units tied to three‑year EBITDA growth versus the S&P SmallCap 600 Industrials Index. A redesigned 2026 long‑term plan will rely solely on performance share units and restricted stock.
