Pay Versus Performance

As required by Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about “compensation actually paid” (or “CAP”) for 2025 for this Proxy Statement’s NEOs, as well as for our NEOs for 2024, 2023, 2022 and 2021 (each, including 2025, a “Covered Year”), as defined by SEC rules, and certain of our financial performance results for the Covered Years. The CAP amounts disclosed in the table below may not necessarily reflect the final compensation that our NEOs actually received for their service in the Covered Years. For further information concerning our variable pay-for-performance philosophy and how we align executive compensation with our performance, refer to the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this Proxy Statement.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Please see page 85 for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to its most closely comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP financial measure is not a substitute for or superior to the comparable financial measures under GAAP.

Column (b). Reflects compensation amounts reported in the “Summary Compensation Table” for our principal executive officer (“PEO”), for the respective years shown. Michael J. Kasbar, was our PEO for each of the covered years shown in the table.

Column (c). CAP for our PEO in each of the Covered Years reflects the respective amounts set forth in column (b), adjusted as set forth in the table below, as determined in accordance with SEC rules. The dollar amounts reflected in column (c) do not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned by or paid to our PEO during the applicable year. For information regarding decisions made by our Compensation Committee with respect to the PEO’s compensation for each Covered Year, please see the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this Proxy Statement and the Proxy Statements for the 2025, 2024, 2023 and 2022 annual meetings of shareholders.

Equity Valuations: For PRSUs, the grant date fair value of awards used for SCT calculations assumes target performance. To determine the year-end fair values used in the CAP calculations, we have updated the performance expectations to reflect the latest performance estimates for unvested and outstanding awards at each fiscal year-end date.

Column (d). The following non-PEO NEOs are included in the average figures shown for each of 2022 and 2021: Ira M. Birns, John P. Rau, Jeffrey P. Smith and Michael J. Crosby. For 2023 & 2024, only Ira M. Birns and John P. Rau are included. For 2025, Ira M. Birns, John P. Rau and Mike Tejada are included.

Column (e). Average CAP for our non-PEO NEOs in each Covered Year reflects the respective amounts set forth in column (d), adjusted as set forth in the table below, as determined in accordance with SEC rules. The dollar amounts reflected in column (e) do not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned by or paid to our non-PEO NEOs during the applicable year. For information regarding the decisions made by our Compensation Committee with respect to the non-PEO NEOs’ compensation for each fiscal year, please see the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this Proxy Statement and the Proxy Statements for the 2025, 2024, 2023 and 2022 annual meetings of shareholders.

Equity Valuations: For PRSU awards, the grant date fair value of awards used for SCT calculations assumes target performance. To determine the year-end fair values used in the CAP calculations, we have updated the performance expectations to reflect the latest performance estimates for unvested and outstanding awards at each fiscal year-end date.

Column (f). For the relevant fiscal year, represents the cumulative total shareholder return (TSR) of World Kinect for the measurement periods ending on December 31 of each Covered Year, respectively. TSR for the Company and the peer group in column (g) was calculated as the yearly percentage change in cumulative TSR based on a deemed fixed investment of $100 at market close on December 31, 2020 and in accordance with Items 201(e) and 402(v) of Regulation S-K. Because fiscal years are presented in the table in reverse chronological order (from top to bottom), the table should be read from bottom to top for purposes of understanding cumulative returns over time.

Column (g). For the relevant fiscal year, represents the cumulative TSR of the S&P 500 Energy Index for the measurement periods ending on December 31 of each Covered Year, respectively.

Column (h). Reflects “Net income attributable to World Kinect” in our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income included in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K for each of the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022 and 2021.

Column (i). Company-selected measure is Adjusted EBITDA, which is described below.

Relationship between Pay and Performance

The graphs below reflect the relationship of CAP to our PEO and other Non-PEO NEOs (on average) in the Covered Years as compared to World Kinect’s TSR, net income and Adjusted EBITDA for the Covered Years. The first graph below also reflects the relationship of World Kinect’s TSR to the peer group TSR for the Covered Years.

CAP, as required under the SEC rules, reflects adjusted values to unvested and vested equity awards during the years shown in the tables above, including based on year-end stock prices, various accounting valuation assumptions and projected performance modifiers, but it does not necessarily reflect actual amounts paid out for those awards. CAP generally fluctuates due to stock price achievement and varying levels of projected and actual achievement of performance goals. In 2023 and 2025, CAP for our PEO is a negative number, reflecting the impact of the change in our stock price between fiscal years because of the significant portion of our executives’ compensation tied to equity with fair values based in part on stock price. For a discussion of how our Compensation Committee assessed our performance and our NEOs pay each year, see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” in this Proxy Statement and in the Proxy Statements for the 2025, 2024, 2023 and 2022 annual meetings of shareholders.

COMPENSATION ACTUALLY PAID VS. TOTAL SHAREHOLDER RETURN

COMPENSATION ACTUALLY PAID VS. NET INCOME & ADJUSTED EBITDA(1)

Listed below are the financial measures which in our assessment represent the most important financial performance measures we used in 2025 to link CAP to our NEOs to the Company’s performance.


Financial Performance Measures		Explanation

Adjusted EPS		Adjusted diluted earnings per common share is a non-GAAP financial measure computed by dividing adjusted net income attributable to World Kinect and available to common shareholders by the sum of the weighted average number of shares of common stock, stock units, restricted stock entitled to dividends not subject to forfeiture and vested restricted stock units outstanding during the period and the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if our outstanding potentially dilutive securities had been issued.

Adjusted ROIC		Adjusted return on invested capital is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as adjusted operating income (less minority interest) after tax, divided by average invested capital, which includes total debt plus equity less excess cash.

Adjusted EBITDA		Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization is defined as net income including noncontrolling interest and excluding the impact of interest, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization, in addition to acquisition and divestiture related expenses, costs associated with restructuring activities (including all costs associated with exit activities), impairments, gains or losses on sale of businesses, integration costs, non-operating legal settlements, and costs associated with the Finnish bid error.
