Name Adjusted EBITDA        
Non-GAAP Measure Description We have designated adjusted EBITDA as our Company-Selected Measure under the PVP Rules, which is reported in this table in millions. Adjusted EBITDA is the principal financial measure used under our AIP to align annual payouts with performance. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the effects of pre-established categories of items that the Human Capital and Compensation Committee believes are not reflective of operating performance. These categories are identical to the adjustments that we use for the external reporting of our adjusted EBITDA results in our periodic earnings releases. For a further discussion, see "Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Elements of Fiscal 2025 Target Pay—Annual Incentives" and "Appendix B: Reconciliation of GAAP Measures to Non-GAAP Measures." The Committee does not consider the calculation of CAP as part of its executive compensation determinations; accordingly, the Committee does not actually use any financial performance measure specifically to link CAP to Company performance.
