The fair value of PSUs reporting for CAP purposes in columns (c) and (e) assumes estimated performance results as of the end of each fiscal year for internal metrics (i.e., EBITDA & ROIC) and Monte Carlo simulation valuation model for market metrics (i.e., TSR vs. performance peer group), in accordance with FASB ASC 718. PSUs will ultimately vest based on measured performance through the end of the three-year performance period for the relevant metrics.
(4)
The fair value of stock option awards reporting for CAP purposes in columns (c) and (e) was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using materially the same assumptions as disclosed at the initial grant.
(5)
Reflects the total shareholder return indexed to $100 per share for the sixteen-company peer group we use for executive compensation benchmarking purposes which is also the industry line peer group reported in our Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2025. Two companies (FactSet and Guidewire) were added to the peer group from the 2024 Pay versus Performance disclosure. One company in the peer group from the 2023 Pay versus Performance disclosure (Black Knight) is no longer publicly traded and was replaced in the 2024 peer group. Two companies in the peer group from the 2022 Pay versus Performance disclosure (CoreLogic and IHS Markit) are no longer publicly traded and were replaced in the 2023 peer group. The comparable cumulative total shareholder return for the most recent prior peer groups for the periods starting on January 1, 2021 and ending on December 31
st
of the following years would be: 2021 ($117.18), 2022 ($93.17), 2023 ($121.63), 2024 ($138.78), and 2025 ($131.21).
(6)
Reflects “Net Income” for each applicable year as set forth in our Consolidated Statements of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form
10-K
for each of the applicable years.
(7)
Reflects the Adjusted EBITDA amounts for each applicable year as set forth in our earnings release filed as an exhibit in our Current Report on Form
8-K
for each of the applicable years. In 2023, 2024 and 2025, our Talent Management and Compensation Committee used Adjusted EBITDA on an absolute dollar basis, and in years 2021 and 2022 used Adjusted EBITDA year-over-year percentage growth rates, to determine our NEOs STI outcomes. EBITDA represents GAAP Net Income from continuing operations adjusted for (i) depreciation and amortization of fixed assets; (ii) amortization of intangible assets; (iii) interest expense; and (iv) provision for income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA adjusted for acquisition-related costs (earn-outs), gain/loss from dispositions (which includes businesses held for sale), and nonrecurring gain/loss. Adjusted EBITDA was subject to further normalization by our Talent Management and Compensation Committee in 2023, 2024 and 2025 to eliminate the financial impact of certain items, including, among others, contributions from acquisitions not included in the Company’s budget, the timing of the divestitures, and the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes.
