Average compensation actually paid to non-PEO NEOs in 2021 and 2022 is significantly impacted by a one-time equity award to Mark Griffin in 2021, valued at $29 million at the time of grant. Mr. Griffin’s award was granted to reflect his role in the creation of value in Telos ID as reflected in its purchase price in connection with the initial public offering, and to align his compensation with similarly-situated Company executives.

Adjustment To PEO Compensation, Footnote [Text Block]
2
The calculations for compensation actually paid (for both PEO and NEOs) are set forth below the footnotes to this table.
Compensation actually paid or “CAP” are amounts calculated in accordance with applicable SEC rules and do not, necessarily, correlate to the total amount of cash or equity compensation that the executive actually realized or was paid during any fiscal year. The CAP is a calculation that includes, for example, the increase (or decrease) in value of certain elements of compensation (i.e., equity compensation) over the fiscal year, even if granted in a prior year. The amounts that the executive will ultimately receive with respect to these types of compensation (i.e., when and if the equity awards vest) are likely to be different from the amounts disclosed in this Pay versus Performance disclosure.

Most Important Financial Performance Measures for Linking Executive Pay to Company Performance

Total Revenue

Adjusted EBITDA1

Stock Price

1
Both EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are supplemental measures of operating performance that are not made under GAAP and do not represent, and should not be considered as, an alternative to net loss as determined by GAAP. We define EBITDA as net (loss) income attributable to Telos, adjusted for net (loss) income attributable to non-controlling interest, non-operating (income) expense, interest expense, provision for (benefit from) income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), adjusted for non-operating expense/(income), interest expense, provision for/(benefit from) income taxes, depreciation and amortization, restructuring expenses and stock-based compensation expense.
In the Company’s opinion, Total Revenue is the single most important financial performance measure for linking executive pay to company performance, and is therefore the company-selected measure in the Pay Versus Performance table above.
