(1)The dollar amounts reported in this column are the amounts of the total compensation reported for our PEO, Anthony W. Oxley, who was our Chief Executive Officer for a portion of fiscal 2024 and for fiscal 2025. Refer to “Executive Compensation - Summary Compensation Table.”
(2)The dollar amounts reported represent the amount of “compensation actually paid” to Mr. Oxley, as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, and do not reflect the total compensation actually realized or received by Mr. Oxley. In accordance with these rules, these amounts reflect “Total Compensation” as set forth in the Summary Compensation Table for the year, adjusted as shown below for fiscal 2025.

(9)Amounts represent net income reported in the Company's audited financial statements for the applicable fiscal year and are included as required by Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K.
(10)We have updated our Pay Versus Performance disclosure to identify the financial performance measure that we believe most directly links compensation actually paid to our NEOs to company performance. Beginning in fiscal 2025, the Compensation Committee approved the PTI Bonus program under which bonuses are earned based on our Pre-Tax Income ("PTI") for the year. Because PTI is the primary financial metric used in determining actual annual incentive compensation for our NEOs, PTI has been designated as the Company-Selected Measure for purposes of this disclosure.
Financial Performance Measures
The most important financial performance measures used by the Company to link NEO compensation actually paid for the most recently completed fiscal year to the Company's performance are as follows:
Pre-tax Income
Relative Total Shareholder Return
Return on Inventory
Market Share
Relationship Between Pay and Performance
As described in more detail in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section, the Company's executive compensation program for fiscal 2025 reflected a variable pay-for-performance philosophy based on the consideration of several factors. Moreover, the Compensation Committee generally seeks to incentivize NEOs to maximize the Company's value over the long-term and, therefore, does not specifically align the Company's performance measures with compensation that is actually paid (as calculated in accordance with SEC rules) for a particular year. Pursuant to SEC rules, the following graphs are provided to show the relationships between information presented in the Pay versus Performance table.
