A little more than half of Robert Beauchamp's 2008 pay package came in the form of stock and option awards, which were valued at $5.97 million when they were granted. His $950,000 salary, $4.33 million in performance-based cash bonuses, and $17,206 in other compensation make up the remainder. Overall, Beauchamp's 2007 package was up 45% from 2007 ($7.76 million). Also up 45% was BMC's net income, which hit $313.6 million in fiscal 2008 (up from $215.9 million in 2007). BMC's revenue came in at $1.73 billion, up 10% from $1.58 billion in 2007. BMC's 2008 fiscal year ended March 31.
