Accordingly, we have determined that for purposes of calculating equity award adjustments above, the equity awards made pursuant to the Stock Bonus Plan will be deemed to have been granted and vested in the same year and such fair values will be identical to the fair values of the awards reported in the Stock Awards columns of the Summary Compensation Table for fiscal 2025.

Financial Performance Measures
As described in greater detail in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the Company’s executive compensation program reflects a pay-for-performance philosophy. The metrics that the Company uses for our incentive awards are selected based on an objective of incentivizing our NEOs to increase the value of our enterprise for our shareholders. The Company used fewer than three financial measures to link compensation actually paid to the Company’s NEOs for the most recently completed fiscal year to company performance. Accordingly, the list below provides all such measures that were used by the Company to link executive compensation actually paid to the Company’s NEOs for the most recently completed fiscal year:
