THE 2016 ALL- AMERICA EXECUTIVE TEAM: THE LEADERS
OVERVIEW
AMERICA’S
BEST INVESTOR
RELATIONS
Who participates in the study?
Institutional Investor is the industry’s most trusted source for research and rankings among top analysts
and portfolio managers. For the 2016 ranking, we collected the opinions of 1,221 portfolio managers
and buy-side analysts and 912 sell-side analysts.
When is the polling conducted?
Polling is conducted from May through July 2015.
Top-Ranked CEOs, CFOs,
IR Professionals and
Best Analyst Days
How are the results tabulated?
Voters rank the top-four companies that they believe demonstrate excellence in each of eight IR
characteristics or performance attributes. Their votes are then weighted by the rank they have assigned
each company and aggregated to produce buy-side, sell-side and combined buy- and sell-side rankings
for each sector.
How are the results disseminated?
The top-three places in each of our IR rankings are announced in December on our website, which enjoys
a global audience of more than 115,000 senior-level executives. The first-place winners are published in
the December/January edition of the print magazine. In both, the rankings presented include Best IR Program,
as well as Best CEO, CFO, IR Professional and Best Analyst Days, across 45 sectors.
Best Investor Relations attributes
Buy- and sell-side voters separately evaluate the following attributes of IR programs:

Balancing
Act
The 2016 All-America Executive Team
staying on top of emerging trends while maintaining a focus on
day-to-day operations can be daunting. Money managers and
sell-side researchers identify the corporate leaders who are up
to the challenge. By Carolyn Koo
Deere & Co. may be most
famous for its iconic green
and yellow tractors, but those
vehicles — along with the rest of the
company’s large agricultural, construction and forestry equipment —
now boast advanced communications
systems that enable farmers to capture
data for agronomic decision-making
and allow different pieces of machinery to talk to each other.
this development has gained significant traction under the leadership
of samuel allen, who became Deere’s
chief executive officer in 2009.
“It’s the ability for the farmer to
not only optimize his equipment and
his whole logistics, but also to get
the data off the piece of equipment
and put it into a system that’s able to
analyze and tweak what we call his
prescription of what he’s going to do
next year to improve yields,” he says.
“Farmers do see 5 to 10 percent yearover-year yield improvements by
doing this.”
allen, 62, notes that the moline,
Illinois–based manufacturer employs
about 2,400 software developers. “a
lot of people don’t appreciate that we
have that much going on in our intelligent solutions group and that level of
sophistication,” he believes. “take one
of our flagship tractors, the 8r row crop
tractor. It will have more lines of software code in it than the first microsoft
operating system had, and it will have
more computing power than the first
space shuttle.”
another major accomplishment of
allen’s tenure has been the company’s
growing presence in markets outside the
U.s., exemplified by the opening of three
facilities in China, two in brazil and one
each in India and russia. at these centers Deere makes construction machinery, farm tractors and seeding and
tillage equipment for use locally, to meet
customer needs and reduce the costs of
shipping products from other areas.
and, despite suppressed crop prices
and a projected drop in total equipment

sales amid a sluggish global economy,
Deere has been spending a record
amount on research and development —
more than $1.4 billion in each of the past
three fiscal years — and is maintaining
that commitment, according to allen.
“We’ve chosen to stay at that high
level, to continue to bring out a suite of
new products over the next couple of
years to help mitigate some of the downturn,” he explains, pointing to the company’s first four-track tractor, as well as
a hybrid wheel loader that achieves a 40
percent improvement in fuel economy
over conventional models.
“even though it hasn’t paid off yet in
the way we think it will — globalizing
the company, seven new plants, completely expanding the product line in
support of that — I feel good that that
positions the company for the next
decade plus,” he explains.
the widespread use of telematics
and the expansion of its geographic
footprint are examples of innovations
at Deere, which posted its two highest-net-income years in fiscal 2012
($3.54 billion) and 2013 ($3.16 billion),
and they underscore how the most
heralded Ceos are able to set their companies apart from the competition and
prepare them for the future.
Portfolio managers and sell-side analysts who participate in the all-america
executive team, Institutional Investor’s
annual ranking of the nation’s best corporate leaders, are impressed. Deere is
the across-the-board winner in machinery, with allen named the sector’s best
Ceo. survey results reflect the opinions
of nearly 2,040 investment professionals

another company that dominates its
category — in this instance, retailing/
Food & Drug Chains — is CVs Health
Corp. Larry merlo, who became Ceo in
2011, set the bar high for corporate innovation in 2014 when the company boldly
eliminated tobacco products from its
7,800 outlets. He describes the move as
“the right decision for our brand, our business and for the health of the country.”
For instance, the move has helped

“If we wanted CVs Health to be credibly viewed as a setting where health
care is delivered, then the sale of tobacco
had no place in our business model,”
explains merlo, 59. “second, the fact
that companies and consumers are now
seeing us as a convenient and affordable
point of access for quality care creates
longer-term growth opportunities for
our business.”
In addition, he reports that smokers
in states where CVs had at least a 15 percent share of the retail pharmacy market

the company’s cessation of tobacco

patch purchases. “I think a decade from
now we’ll look back on our exit from
tobacco as a truly seminal moment in
our company’s history, evolution and
continued success,” he declares.

CVs’s drive to expand its core business

minuteClinic locations (which offer
routine care for common ailments and
such wellness services as flu shots);
merlo expects the deal to clear regulatory review by late December.
meanwhile, the Patient Protection
and affordable Care act has led to more
opportunities for the company as consumers play “an increasing role in their
health care decisions,” he observes.
“as a result, we see people taking more
financial responsibility for their health
care choices and costs, and CVs Health
is now in the consideration set because
our reach and unique suite of offerings
provide more convenient access to
high-quality, affordable care with
improved health outcomes.”
Discover Financial services, which
sweeps the Consumer Finance category,
has taken a different tack, harnessing
technology in its drive toward innovation.
“If we have the goal of being the
leading direct bank, obviously tech-
nology is something that we embrace
— and we have to be a leader to be
successful,” asserts David Nelms,
who became Ceo of the riverwoods,
Illinois–based outfit in 2004.
DFs partnered with online payment
services providers PayPal and Google
Wallet back in 2012 and apple Pay in
september 2015 and tasks its technology
staff with creating advanced credit card
tools such as Freeze It. this security
feature allows users to turn off new
activity on a card temporarily if it has
been misplaced and turn it back on
when it has been found, instead of going
through the hassle of canceling the card
and getting a new one issued.
“We have a history of innovation,”
says Nelms, 54. “If you go way back, we
were the first no-fee card, the first reward
card, the first 24-hour customer service
card, and today we’re the only people that

DFs launched a state-of-the-art

Partners and three other acquisitions to
get into the business of delivering product in nearly 200,000-barrel barges
along the east, West and Gulf coasts, up
to alaska and around Hawaii.
“It added a lot of breadth to our company and, if you think about what we
move and the customers that we move
for, principally we did it on the inland
rivers,” says Grzebinski, 54. “Now we’re
doing it all over the U.s. for the same
customer group. We were moving
petroleum products inland, and they
were moving it coastwise, so it’s a great
expansion of our service.” Kirby’s operating income margins were 1 to 2 percent
when the K-sea deal was struck; today
they are in the mid-teens, he reports.
Not all the news is positive, however.
oil prices have dropped precipitously
during Grzebinski’s tenure, from more
than $100 per barrel of brent crude in
the summer of 2014 to roughly $44 in
November 2015. moreover, the resulting
curtailing of hydraulic fracturing, or
fracking, of shale rock has affected
Lance Allega / v.F. corp.
Kirby’s diesel engine operations, which
repair and supply the equipment that
supports shale activity.
“Unfortunately, we’re losing a little
bit of money in that land-based diesel
engine business,” he affirms. earlier this
year, in a bid to reduce operating costs
and increase efficiency, Kirby consolidated the five facilities where it repaired
and manufactured fracking units into a
new factory, in oklahoma City.
also, as the price of oil has been
declining, crude production has been
falling, resulting in far fewer barges
needed to transport supply. “the
uncertainty of what’s happening to the
crude market has made our customers a
little more cautious with looking at their
barge needs,” Grzebinski notes.
on the other hand, lower crude prices
are beneficial for refined products, such
as gasoline and jet fuel, which are enjoying an ensuing boost in demand, he adds.
another bright spot is the U.s. chemicals industry’s anticipated investment
of more than $100 billion to expand

infrastructure, mostly along the Gulf
Coast, since fracking has produced an
oversupply of ethane, a key chemical
feedstock. although it probably won’t
come to fruition until 2017 or 2018,
“there should be more barge moves
because chemical volumes from these
new plants will start to emerge,” he
explains. “Given that 50 percent of what
we move, both coastal and inland, is
chemicals, it’s very important.”
also essential: positioning the
company for additional growth. Kirby is
spending close to $300 million on new
offshore equipment and is actively looking for m&a opportunities, Grzebinski
says: “When business gets a little
tougher and there’s some downward
pressure, that’s typically when we invest
countercyclically and use our balance
sheet appropriately.”
