Peer Group Issuers, Footnote Total stockholder return ("TSR") shown in the table above utilizes the S&P Software & Services Select Index which we use in the stock performance graph required by Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K included in the Company’s consolidated audited financial statements filed with the SEC on Form 10-K for fiscal years 2022, 2023 2024, 2025 and 2026. The comparison of TSR assumes that $100 was invested for the period starting April 1, 2021 through March 31 of the applicable fiscal year in each of the Company’s Common Stock and the S&P Software & Services Select Index. All dollar values assume reinvestment of the pre-tax value of dividends paid by companies included in the S&P Software & Services Select Index. The historical stock price performance of our Common Stock shown is not necessarily indicative of future stock price performance.

Name Adjusted EBITDA        
Non-GAAP Measure Description Pursuant to Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we determined annual Adjusted EBITDA to be our most important financial performance measure used to link Company performance to CAP to our PEO and other Non-PEO NEOs in fiscal year 2026. See Appendix A to this proxy statement for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Annually, we review our established performance financial metrics to ensure they maximize stockholder value. As such, we may determine a different financial performance measure in future years.
