Adjusted Earnings per Share and Core Revenue Growth are equally weighted metrics used to determine Company performance under our 2025 executive annual cash incentive compensation program. The Compensation Committee weights the two metrics most heavily in the Company performance formula because it believes Adjusted Earnings per Share measures profitable growth for the company and Core Revenue Growth provides incentive to grow the business organically. Accordingly, Adjusted Earnings per Share is the Company-selected measure included in the tables that follow.
Values are shown in millions.Please see page 109 for a definition of Adjusted Earnings per Share. Values shown reflect Adjusted Earnings per Share as calculated for purposes of our executive compensation program for the applicable reporting year.
