Pay vs Performance Disclosure

Pay vs Performance Disclosure, Table

Pay Versus Performance. The SEC requires us to present the following disclosures of our “pay versus performance”. These disclosures are intended to show the relationship of the compensation we paid to certain of our executives compared to our financial performance over the past five years. Below you will find: (1) a table with five years of information on compensation “actually paid” to the Principal Executive Officer (“PEO”), which is our CEO, and our other NEOs for the applicable years on average as a group, as well as Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”), net income and EBITDA as adjusted if applicable, as described below; (2) disclosures explaining the relationship between compensation “actually paid” and the performance measures disclosed in the Pay versus Performance Table; and (3) a tabular list of financial performance measures we use to link compensation “actually paid” to NEOs for the last fiscal year to our performance. Our Company produced earnings in the past five years which resulted in a substantial increase in our stock price in certain years. The SEC’s definition of compensation “actually paid” includes the increase in value of unvested restricted stock held by our NEOs which vests over four years with 70% of any award vesting in the third and fourth years. As a result, compensation “actually paid” pursuant to the SEC’s definition of that term has increased significantly in certain years in part as a result of appreciation in the value of the NEOs’ unvested restricted stock. Our NEOs may or may not receive the full economic benefit of the compensation showed as “actually paid” depending on our stock price at the time of vest of the restricted stock despite the characterization of such compensation being “actually paid” pursuant to SEC rules.

By SEC rules, these amounts reflect the amount disclosed in our Summary Compensation Table (SCT) for the applicable year (a) minus the grant date fair value of equity compensation in the SCT, (b) plus year-end fair value of stock awards granted in the year that were outstanding and unvested as of the end of year, (c) plus the change as of year-end in fair value of prior year awards that were outstanding and unvested as of the end of year or, for awards vesting in that year, the change in fair value of those awards as of the vesting date. The other elements required to be disclosed pursuant to SEC rules in the definition of compensation “actually paid” are inapplicable to our NEO compensation. The calculations for (b) and (c) are as follows:

Total Shareholder Return Vs Peer Group

Tabular List, Table

We are required under SEC rules to also disclose the most important financial performance measures that link compensation “actually paid” to our NEOs (which amounts are shown in the table above using the SEC’s methodology) to Company performance. We believe those metrics are as follows:


	Financial Performance Measures
	Net Income
	Adjusted EBITDA
	Earnings Per Share
	Stock Price Performance

We selected these measures because we believe our compensation “actually paid” is most influenced by two factors: (1) the amount of restricted stock granted to our NEOs annually under the long-term performance plans over the relevant period and (2) the change in our stock price over time (see footnote 1 to the Pay Verses Performance Table above). Our 2025 performance plans include metrics for EBITDA and EPS, which together could represent more than 40% of the total amount available under the plans. We believe the change in our stock price over time is correlated most closely to the financial performance measures EBITDA (as adjusted if applicable), EPS (as adjusted if applicable) and net income.
