Pay Versus Performance
As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship between executive compensation actually paid (“
CAP
”, as defined by SEC rules) and certain financial performance measures for the last five completed fiscal years. These financial metrics include total shareholder return (TSR), net income metric, and a company-selected measure of Adjusted Operating Income (AOI).
We selected AOI as the most important in linking compensation actually paid to our NEOs for 2025 to our performance, as it was the predominant metric used in our 2025 incentive plans as described in the Compensation Discussion & Analysis earlier in this Proxy Statement.

Dollar amounts shown in this column represent compensation actually paid calculated by adjusting amounts in summary compensation table in accordance with SEC rules. As required, the dollar amounts include unpaid amounts of equity compensation that may be realizable in future periods, and as such, the dollar amounts do not fully represent the actual final amount of compensation earned or actually paid to the CEO or other NEO during the applicable years. Adjustments made are shown in below tables.
(3)
For 2025, our Company Selected Measure is Adjusted Operating Income, consistent with our Short-Term Incentive Program. In prior years, we used Adjusted EBITDA. For more details, refer to our Compensation Discussion and Analysis, beginning on page 35. Adjusted Operating Income (AOI) is a non-GAAP measure, and reconciliation to Operating Income is provided in Appendix B.
