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 under the Exchange Act, we are providing the following information about the relationship between executive “compensation actually paid” (as computed in accordance with SEC rules) and certain financial performance measures. For further information concerning our pay-for-performance philosophy and how we align executive compensation with our performance, please see the section entitled “Executive Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis” beginning on page 42.
The following tables and related disclosures provide information about (i) the total compensation of our principal executive officer (“PEO”) and our non-PEO named executive officers (collectively, the “Other NEOs”) as presented in the “Fiscal 2024-2026 Summary Compensation Table” above and its equivalent table in prior years’ proxy statements; (ii) the “compensation actually paid” to our PEO and our Other NEOs, as calculated pursuant to Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act; (iii) certain financial performance measures; and (iv) the relationship between the “compensation actually paid” to those financial performance measures.

David Goeckeler was our PEO from the start of fiscal 2025 through February 21, 2025, and for each of the other years presented. The Other NEOs were: (i) for fiscal 2026, Messrs.

The dollar amounts reported are the amounts reported for the PEO, or the average of the amounts reported for the Other NEOs, for each of the corresponding fiscal years in the “Total” column in our applicable Summary Compensation Table.

Adjustment To PEO Compensation, Footnote The following table describes the adjustments, each of which is prescribed by the SEC rules, to calculate the “compensation actually paid” amounts from the Summary Compensation Table for each fiscal year.
