The following graph shows the Compensation Actually Paid (CAP) versus Total Shareholder Return (TSR). The CAP reflects in 2022 and 2024 lower incentive compensation due to losses, and in 2024 the lowest NEO average CAP across the five-year period. In 2023, PEO and NEO average CAP reached their highest levels over the period, reflecting stronger equity values. The PEO CAP was impacted by the turnover in PEOs in 2024. In 2025, CAP levels remained relatively stable, with PEO CAP consistent with 2024 and NEO average CAP recovering modestly from the 2024 low. The TSR declined from 2021 through 2024 and showed a partial recovery in 2025, generally correlating with the trends in CAP over the period.
