The equity award adjustments for each applicable year include the addition (or subtraction, as applicable) of the following: (i) the year-end fair value of any equity awards granted in the applicable year that are outstanding and unvested as of the end of the year; (ii) the amount of change as of the end of the applicable year (from the end of the prior fiscal year) in fair value of any awards granted in prior years that are outstanding and unvested as of the end of the applicable year; (iii) for awards that are granted and vest in same applicable year, the fair value as of the vesting date; (iv) for awards granted in prior years that vest in the applicable year, the amount equal to the change as of the vesting date (from the end of the prior fiscal year) in fair value; (v) for awards granted in prior years that are determined to fail to meet the applicable vesting conditions during the applicable year, a deduction for the amount equal to the fair value at the end of the prior fiscal year; and (vi) the dollar value of any dividends or other earnings paid on stock or option awards in the applicable year prior to the vesting date that are not otherwise reflected in the fair value of such award or included in any other component of total compensation for the applicable year.

Amounts reported in column (g) represent the average amount of CAP to the Non-PEO NEOs as a group, as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. The dollar amounts do not reflect the actual average amount of compensation earned by or paid to the Non-PEO NEOs as a group during the applicable year. In accordance with the requirements of Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the following adjustments were made to average total compensation for the Non-PEO NEOs as a group for each year to determine the compensation actually paid, using the same methodology described above in Note 2:

Cumulative TSR is calculated by dividing the sum of the cumulative amount of dividends for the measurement period, assuming dividend reinvestment, and the difference between the Company’s share price at the end and the beginning of the measurement period by the Company’s share price at the beginning of the measurement period.

(8)

Represents the TSR, weighted according to the respective companies’ stock market capitalization at the beginning of each period for which a return is indicated included in the following peer groups: (1) S&P 600 Materials (Sector), and (2) S&P 600 Industrials (Sector). The blended weighted TSR of these two peer groups is used by the Company to determine the Company’s relative TSR performance for purposes of applying a potential positive or negative modifier in connection with the settlement of the Company’s long-term performance-based incentive awards, as described under “Executive Compensation and Related Information – Compensation Discussion and Analysis – 2022 Long-Term Incentives.” The S&P 600 Materials (Sector) is included in the five year cumulative total return chart included in the Company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

(9)	The dollar amounts reported represent the amount of net income reflected in the Company’s audited financial statements for the applicable year.

(10)

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income plus depreciation and amortization, interest expense (net), income tax provision, and restructuring or other unusual charges. While the Company uses numerous financial and non-financial performance measures for the purpose of evaluating performance for the Company’s compensation programs, the Company has determined that Adjusted EBITDA is the financial performance measure that, in the Company’s assessment, represents the most important performance measure (that is not otherwise required to be disclosed in the table) used by the Company to link CAP to the Company’s NEOs, for the most recently completed fiscal year, to Company performance.

Analysis of Information Presented in Pay versus Performance Table

As described in greater detail in “Executive Compensation and Related Information – Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the Company’s executive compensation program reflects a strong pay-for-performance philosophy with an emphasis on variable, performance-based compensation. While the Company uses several objective metrics to align executive compensation with our financial performance, we do not specifically align such metrics with CAP (as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K) for a particular year. In accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the Company is providing the following tables to reflect the relationships between certain of the information presented in the Pay versus Performance table and CAP.

Financial Performance Measures

As described in greater detail in “Executive Compensation and Related Information – Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the Company’s executive compensation program reflects an objective pay-for-performance philosophy. The metrics that the Company uses for both our short-term and long-term incentive awards are selected based on an overall objective of providing incentives to our named executive officers to increase the value of our enterprise for our shareholders. In addition to Adjusted EBITDA, which is the sole financial performance metric currently used in our short-term incentive plan, and relative TSR, which is included as a modifier to our Adjusted EBITDA performance in our long-term incentive plan, the most important financial performance measures used by the Company to measure and internally manage our performance and to align the executive compensation actually paid to our NEOs with the Company’s performance are as follows:
