1.4.1 The Net Production result is the sum of all individual fee earners’ net production results for the year. The Net Production result for 2020–21 was 108%. This exceeded the budgeted target of 103% and reflects strong client demand throughout the year.
1.4.2 The total cost per full-time equivalent (equal to one full-time staff member) was $213,615, being 4.4% lower (better) than the $223,260 average achieved in 2019–20. This reflects improved leverage (more fee earners) with approximately the same level of overheads. We use this target as a proxy measure for efficiency, with the total cost per FTE showing how we are controlling costs year-to-year and against budget.
