Tabular List, Table    
As described in greater detail in our Compensation Discussion and Analysis, our executive compensation program reflects a variable pay-for-performance philosophy. The following list presents the corporate performance measures that Coursera considers to have been the most important measures used to link the compensation actually paid to our NEOs, for 2025, to Coursera’s performance (each as defined and described in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section above):
•Revenue (Company Selected Measure)
•Consumer Revenue
•Adjusted EBITDA*
•Enterprise ACV*
*    See Appendix A for the definition of Adjusted EBITDA and the reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to its comparable GAAP measure. Enterprise ACV is a non-GAAP financial measure for which there is no comparable GAAP measure. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as an alternative to, their comparable GAAP measures.

Additional 402(v) Disclosure     In accordance with Item 402(v), the comparison assumes $100 was invested in our common stock as of the close of the day of our IPO on March 31, 2021. Historic stock price performance is not necessarily indicative of future stock price performance.Net loss amounts reported on a GAAP basis.As noted in our Compensation Discussion and Analysis, for 2025, our HRC Committee determined that revenue continues to be viewed as a key indicator of our business performance and aligned with the creation of stockholder value.
