SolarWinds is committed to fairness and transparency in our compensation program design and delivery. Our talent management framework is designed to encompass clear standards for goal-setting, impartial performance evaluations with succession planning, and robust learning and development opportunities.

Our gender pay gap is driven by a variety of factors, including a higher proportion of men in leadership and technical roles. We are committed to further attracting, retaining, and developing women at all levels of the company by continuing to focus on career development, inclusive hiring efforts, and awareness among company leaders.

Pay Equity

Pay equity relates to what women and men are paid for performing equal work. SolarWinds is committed to pay equity by conducting yearly pay equity studies. With the help of third-party experts, SolarWinds runs statistical models to assess pay metrics and resolves any differences in total compensation on the basis of gender.

Pay Gap

Pay Gap is the difference in median or mean pay between women and men regardless of their roles, levels, tenure or performance. The Gender Pay Gap Information Act 2021, as amended, requires organizations that employ 50 people or more in Ireland to publicly report gender pay gap data for its Irish employees.

SolarWinds Software Europe DAC meets the headcount threshold for gender pay gap reporting in Ireland in 2025. The data reported below was taken on the snapshot date of 30 June 2025 and includes information with respect to Irish employees only.

Pay includes allowances, overtime, vested equity grants, and performance-related bonuses. The gender pay gap is measured by calculating both the mean and median pay for all women and men and does not take into account role, level, tenure, or performance.

The Gender Pay Gap report reflects the difference between the average pay for women and men, expressed as a percentage of men's pay.

The gender pay analysis and profile carried out for this Report is based on average hourly rate of pay in the 12 months from 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2025.

Percentage of Women and Men Employees Who Received Bonus Remuneration

Employees at SolarWinds are eligible to receive bonuses. Those who did not receive a bonus belong to one of two categories:

(i) eligible but did not receive a bonus due to performance; or (ii) not eligible due to their hire date being later than our bonus eligibility cut-off date.

Percentage of Women and Men Employees Who Received Benefits In Kind (BIK)

SolarWinds employees are eligible to receive BIK. Those who have not received it have not opted for it. For example, health insurance is optional. The same benefits in kind are offered to all employees.

Proportion of Women and Men Employees in Each Quartile Based on Hourly Remuneration

Each pay quartile represents a quarter, or 25%, of our total employee group ranked by hourly rate of pay.
