Peer Group Issuers, Footnote Amounts reported in these columns represent the cumulative total shareholder return of GMS Inc. common stock and the cumulative total return of our peer group, the S&P 500 Select Sector SPDR (XLI), for purposes of this table, the same index used for our performance graph disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2024. The total shareholder return for each investment assumes that $100 was invested in GMS Inc. common stock and the respective index at the beginning of the three-year period, including reinvestment of any dividends. Historical stock performance is not necessarily indicative of future stock performance.

(b)Fair values of unvested and outstanding equity awards were remeasured as of the end of each fiscal year, and as of each vesting date, during the years displayed in the table above. Fair values as of each measurement date were determined using valuation assumptions and methodologies that are generally consistent with those used to estimate fair value at grant under U.S. GAAP. Fair value of stock awards was determined using the closing stock price of our common stock on the applicable measurement dates. Fair value of stock options was determined using the Black-Scholes methodology on the applicable measurement dates.

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Total Shareholder Return
We believe the “compensation actually paid” in each of the years reported above and over the three-year cumulative period are reflective of the Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee’s emphasis on “pay for performance” as the “compensation actually paid” fluctuated year-over-year, primarily due to the result of our stock performance and our varying levels of achievement against pre-established performance goals under our AIP and long-term incentive plan. The following graphs show the relationship between the compensation actually paid to our PEO and non-PEO NEOs and (i) our total shareholder return and (ii) our net income and Adjusted EBITDA for the past three fiscal years. In addition, the first graph below compares our cumulative total shareholder return and our peer group’s cumulative total shareholder return.

Additional 402(v) Disclosure Amounts reported in these columns represent the total compensation reported in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable fiscal year in the case of our PEO and the average of the total compensation reported in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable fiscal year for our non-PEO NEOs.Amounts shown for compensation actually paid have been calculated in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K and do not reflect compensation actually earned, realized or received by our PEO or other non-PEO NEOs during the applicable fiscal year. These amounts reflect total compensation as set forth in the Summary Compensation Table with equity award value adjustments for the applicable year. A reconciliation of the adjustments for our PEO and for the average of our non-PEO NEOs is set forth following the footnotes to this table.Amounts represent consolidated net income as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the applicable fiscal year.      
Measure:: 1        
Pay vs Performance Disclosure        
Name Adjusted EBITDA      
Non-GAAP Measure Description In accordance with SEC rules, the Company is required to include in the Pay versus Performance table the “most important” financial performance measure (as determined by the Company) used to link compensation actually paid to our named executive officers to Company performance for the most recently completed fiscal year. We determined Adjusted EBITDA meets this requirement and therefore, we have included this performance measure in the Pay versus Performance table. Adjusted EBITDA for acquisitions is not included for AIP purposes for the NEOs. Adjusted EBITDA, as we define it, is an amount equal to net income (loss) plus interest expense and related items, income taxes, stock compensation, depreciation and amortization, further adjusted to exclude other non-cash items and certain other adjustments. See Appendix A for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most comparable measure reported in accordance with GAAP.
