(A)The fair values of unvested and outstanding equity awards to our NEOs were remeasured as of the end of each fiscal year, and as of each vesting date, during the 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 fiscal years. Adjustments for the items shown in the table above for fiscal year 2025 were also made for the 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 fiscal years. Fair values as of each measurement date were determined using valuation assumptions and methodologies (including volatility, dividend yield, and risk-free interest rates) that are stock units, fair values were estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model, using assumptions that are consistent with those used at grant. For other performance-based awards, the fair values reflect the probable outcome of the performance vesting conditions as of the last day of the applicable fiscal year.
