Compensation Actually Paid (CAP) is calculated from the PEO’s SCT compensation total, less the amounts reported in the SCT equity awards (i.e., RSUs, PRSUs, and stock options), less the change in pension value; adding the fair value as of the end of the covered fiscal year of all awards granted during the fiscal year that are outstanding and unvested as of the fiscal
year-end;
adding the amount equal to the change in fair value as of the end of the covered fiscal year, whether positive or negative, of any awards granted in any prior fiscal year that are outstanding and unvested as of the end of the covered fiscal year; adding the amount equal to the change in fair value as of the vesting date, whether positive or negative, of any award granted in any prior fiscal year for which all applicable vesting conditions were satisfied at the end of or during the covered fiscal year. As described above, equity awards granted to the NEOs prior to the separation were adjusted upon the separation into awards denominated in both Crane Company and Crane NXT stock. The CAP calculations include both the Crane Company component and Crane NXT component of
 
  
 
  awards that vested during, and/or remained outstanding at the end, of the covered fiscal year. The following table shows the relationship between SCT compensation and CAP:

Additions to the SCT Total reflect the value of equity calculated in accordance with the SEC methodology for determining CAP. The equity awards were revalued using the Monte Carlo values for the PRSUs (which vest based on relative TSR) and the Black-Scholes values for the options. Because the Company includes the amount of cash dividends paid with respect to unvested TRSUs as compensation in the All Other Compensation column of the SCT, no adjustments were made for purposes of calculating CAP. Dividends or dividend equivalents do not accrue on stock options or PRSUs. There were no service cost additions to be made with respect to pension values because the Crane Company’s pension plan was previously frozen.

Average CAP is calculated by averaging the following for the
non-PEO
NEOs; SCT total, less the amounts reported in the SCT equity awards (i.e., RSUs, PRSUs, and stock options), less the change in pension value; adding the fair value as of the end of the fiscal year of all awards granted during the fiscal year that are outstanding and unvested as of the fiscal
year-end;
adding the amount equal to the change in fair value as of the end of the fiscal year, whether positive or negative, of any awards granted in the prior fiscal year that are outstanding and unvested as of the end of the fiscal year; adding the amount equal to the change in fair value as of the vesting date, whether positive or negative, of any award granted in any prior fiscal year for which all applicable vesting conditions were satisfied at the end of or during the fiscal year. As described above, equity awards granted to the NEOs prior to the separation were adjusted upon the separation into awards denominated in Crane Company and Crane NXT stock. The CAP calculations include both the Crane Company component and Crane NXT component of awards that vested and/or remained outstanding at the end of the covered fiscal year.

As noted above under “Pay versus Performance Calculations and Impact of the Separation” and as illustrated in the graphics above, the equity awards held by the Company’s NEOs following the separation, as reflected in CAP values, are tied to the value of both Crane Company and Crane NXT stock prices and performance, as applicable.

The chart below reflects the relationship between the PEO and Average
Non-PEO
NEO CAP and the Company’s Adjusted EPS for 2023, 2024, and 2025. This metric is used to determine 60% of the earnout of annual incentive program for the PEO and 75% for the other corporate NEOs and is strongly correlated to the Company’s absolute and relative stock price performance, which meaningfully impacts CAP. We consider Adjusted EPS to be among the most important financial measures used to link pay with performance in 2025 because it determines a significant portion of NEOs’ variable, and thus total, compensation each year.

The table below shows, in compliance with PVP regulations, the most important metrics used to link CAP to Company performance. These measures, along with others, significantly impact annual compensation decisions and outcomes for the executive team.
 
Performance Metric
  
Impact on CAP
Adjusted EPS
  
Earnings from continuing operations per diluted share excluding special items    Determines 60% of the annual incentive payout for the Principal Executive Officer (“PEO”) and 75% for other NEOs
Adjusted Free Cash Flow
  
Cash provided by operating activities, less capital spending, adjusted for special items    Determines 20% of annual incentive payout for the PEO and 25% for other NEOs
Relative Total Stockholder Return
  
Stock price performance versus a comparator group (S&P 400 MidCap Capital Goods Index)    Determines 100% of the PRSU payout, which represents 55% of the annual LTI grant value for the PEO and 50% for other NEOs
