Additional 402(v) Disclosure The following table sets forth an unranked list of the most important measures used by the Company to link Compensation Actually Paid to our NEOs for 2024 to Company performance. FY Cash Operating Expense is a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined as total operating expenses less research and development and selling, general and administrative depreciation and amortization expenses, and research and development and selling, general and administrative stock-based compensation expenses. We further adjusted FY Cash Operating Expense to exclude one-time costs of $83 million related to our first fiscal quarter restructuring, asset write-offs related to our manufacturing facility near the city of Social Circle, Georgia and Rivian VW Group Technologies start up costs. For further information regarding these measures, please see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” beginning on page 30.
