Total annual compensation rate Due to the organizational structure based on three pillars of operations (Stores, Logistics, Headquarters), the compensation rate is presented on each pillar separately because each pillar accumulates specific business conditions, which are very different between the three pillars and cannot be compared from an operational point of view. In 2024, the highest-paid store employee had a compensation level 13.95 times higher than the annual median of all store employees except the highest-paid person. At the same time, within the Logistics Centers, the highest paid employee received compensations 6.16 times higher than the median of annual compensations in the same category, except for the highest paid individual, and in the case of the Headquarters, 4.59 times higher than the median of annual compensations in the same category, except for the highest paid individual. The data was compiled taking into account the compensation for the person with the highest position in each category, except for the positions of Logistics Director belonging to the Headquarters. They were taken into all employees during 2024, not just those active at the end of the year, excluding CxOs.
