Netcare | ESG analysis
We rank Netcare's (JSE: NTC) corporate governance as ‘good' with a score of 3.16. Based on our ESG risk framework, NTC's ESG risk exposure is moderate, with a residual risk rating of 3.2 out of 5. We commend the Group's willingness to engage in ESG topics. The Group's Board comprises eight non-executive members, of which three have served over nine years. NTC's board is 80% independent (Avior: 50%). We consider Board members with a tenure of over nine years to be non-independent.We support variable compensation comprising 42% and 35% of NTC's CEO and CFO total FY '19 remuneration, respectively. We commend the NTC Board on the extensive disclosure of its STI targets. Ideally, we want to see variable remuneration contribute c.50% to total executive remuneration.
We recommend voting ‘FOR' all resolutions except ordinary resolution 2.5 which we recommend voting ‘AGAINST'. We estimate that NTC is trading at a 10.4x rolled forward PE (0.9x PE relative). We currently have an OUTPERFORM recommendation with an R23.10 target price.
