2 Introduction Our interviews with hundreds of investors and corporate executives in companies with award winning investor relations programs have identified how these companies perform above and beyond peers on a variety of IR-specific and company facets. In their own words, these interviews with executives and call outs from investor interviews provide insight into how the most successful IR programs deliver top-notch investor communications. The Investor Relations ScoreCard and the interviews are invaluable for any investor relations professional interested in enhancing their own program. These interviews and the Investor Relations ScoreCard answer these questions: What can CEOs and CFOs do to understand the importance of and support excellence in investor relations? What can senior executives do to recognize and promote excellence in investor relations? What can investor relations professionals do to advance their own positions and to design and follow a path of success up the corporate ladder? What does the investment community expect and how does this correlate with what is currently being provided? Most professionals are so busy with the day-to-day requirements of the job that they're unable to carve out time for true career development and personal brand building. Fast, punchy and prescient, these interviews are worth bookmarking today for greater job security, value and recognition tomorrow. Investor Relations Best Practices series of reports in this collection are available in individual reports on the website at Each publication gathers together separate but related articles on investor relations, governance, and enterprise risk management.

6 B. Interviews With Award-Winning Companies and Investors (Excerpts) B1. Investor Relations Has Role in Strategic Planning Process Throughout this entire process of transformation of Newfield Exploration, investor relations had a seat at the executive management and board director tables and we were able to anticipate the reaction from the Street in terms of news flow and change. So, if investor relations have a seat at the table with management and the board of directors, I think you can ultimately make better decisions as a company. An effective IRO you have to the ear of management and sit at the table with Management and the board of directors to intimately understand how strategy is being developed and what the ultimate view for the company is. Steve Campbell, Vice President of Investor Relations at Newfield Exploration B2. Investor Relations is Helpful to Board of Directors CACI established an Investor Relations Committee of the Board of Directors. Interestingly, the committee started with 4 directors. Other directors learned how useful the committee is and three additional directors asked to be on the committee. So today, 7 of the total 11 directors on CACI s board are on the Investor Relations Committee of the Board. Transparency is key. The Ear of management and sit at the table with board of directors Additional Board of Directors asked to be on the investor relations committee committee meets each quarter in conjunction with the quarterly board meeting. Dave Dragics, Vice President of Investor Relations at CACI International 6
7 B3. Value-Driving Performance Metrics of the Company The company s understanding of statistically selected value-driving performance metrics that drive value of our peers and Devon Energy played a significant role in the decision to strategically reposition Devon, a move announced about a year ago. We recognized that we did not have enough capital to develop all of our opportunities. This was resulting in a suboptimum present value of our portfolio of projects, White said. It became obvious that our international and offshore segments were dragging down our value-driving metrics, contributing to the underperformance of our stock price. As a Focus company where it is most competitive and has best risk-adjusted returns result, Devon announced its decision to strategically reposition the company. Devon monetized its international and offshore assets to focus solely on the North American onshore segment. This is where the company is most competitive and has the best risk-adjusted returns. We are now positioned to deliver industry-leading, organically-funded growth. It has been a great move for the company. Vince White, Senior Vice President of Investor Relations at Devon Energy B4. Investor Perception Research and Feedbacks on Value-Drivers One of the most beneficial things that we did in the perception studies was not only polling buyside and sell-side, but polling internal management that allowed us to see where there were discrepancies in our future view, and where there were perception realities that didn t line up. I think when you can compare your internal views on key strategies to the external views to the market has you are able to craft your message to ensure it is factual and addresses things that are of most interest to internal and external participants. By polling Wall Street and polling management simultaneously and comparing results yields a big eye opener and a huge benefit in planning your communications strategy. Steve Campbell, Vice President of Investor Relations at Newfield Exploration Polling investors / analysts and polling management simultaneously and comparing results yields a big eye opener and a huge benefit in planning your communications strategy. 7
8 Chief Financial Officers must take a leadership role in improving the company s investor relationships. Chief Financial Officers must understand the needs of the company s primary constituents and be aware of their perception of the company, its critical issues and enterprise risks. We have found independent perception research is an invaluable tool for reaching out to investors, board directors and all levels of management to capture in confidence their most intimate thoughts, identify concerns and collect suggestions on immediate corrective actions to build understanding and create sustainable long-term value. Nothing else matters if you don t take action. James Hatfield, Senior Vice President & Chief Financial Officer of Pinnacle West Capital Corporation Investors trust and their perceived credibility of our company management increased dramatically when we started having an independent firm gather investor perceptions on our company they simply ask investors for their input and concerns, and our company evaluates and acts upon investor comments. I can t overstate the importance of the positive feeling among investors when they understand that our company seriously values investors opinion and input. We have not always had smooth sailing, we have had shareholders make demands on the company and some have filed shareholder lawsuits, and we have had hiccups in our financial results. Because of our relationships with investors by asking for their input and acting upon investor comments, we have navigated through tough times with surprisingly little impact on our market capitalization. Jeff Elefante, former Executive Vice President, General Counsel, Corporate Secretary and Director of Contract and Administrative Services for CACI. Kyphon reaches out before investor meetings and earnings conference calls to find out what investors want to talk about and what s important for management to discuss. Institutional Investor 8 Chief Financial Officers must understand the needs of the primary constituents and be aware of their perception of the company, its critical issues and enterprise risks. Send a strong message to the investment community that management values investors opinions and input. Performing pre- and post-event candid investor feedback on value-drivers before and after earnings conference calls and meetings with investors contributes real value. Kyphon has solid 2-way communication they always want to know how they can be better and want to know which investor questions are topical for upcoming quarterly earnings meetings; they are very responsive in getting answers to investors. Institutional Investor Kyphon won best IR program among smaller U.S. medical device companies and here is what investors said about Kyphon:
9 B5. Investor Relations Outreach We have sell-side analysts arrange only about 25% of our investor meetings. We arrange our own meetings with investors and with the help of an independent agency this enables us to have a better relationship with investors than when a sell-side analyst arranges meetings with investors. We encourage investors to call our investor relations department because if an investor is going to come to a conclusion that could impact their buy/hold/sell decision We have sell-side analysts arrange only about 25% of our investor meetings. on the company or the investor has a question about our company, our industry, or the business environment in which we operate, we want the investor to know our company s position. We help to educate investors on our company, our industry, and the business environment in which we operate. Dave Dragics, Vice President of Investor Relations at CACI International 9
