Peer Group Issuers, Footnote The Peer Group TSR set forth in this table utilizes the comparison index which we also utilize in the stock performance graph required by Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K included in our Annual Reports. The comparison assumes $100 was invested for the period starting December 31, 2019, through the end of the listed year in the Company and in the peer group index, respectively. Historical stock performance is not necessarily indicative of future stock performance.
The Peer Group TSR - New reflects the S&P SmallCap 600 Capped Industrials Index, an index comprised of industrial sector companies with comparable market capitalization to NPK. The S&P SmallCap 600 Capped Industrials Index replaced the Philadelphia Oil Service Sector Index in the 2024 analysis and going forward, as this index is more representative of our current business following the sale of the Fluids Systems business in September 2024. The Peer Group TSR - Old columns reflects the Philadelphia Oil Service Sector Index.
        
Adjustment To PEO Compensation, Footnote To calculate “Compensation Actually Paid,” adjustments were made to the amounts reported in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable year. “Compensation Actually Paid” does not necessarily represent cash and/or equity value paid to or earned by the applicable NEO, but rather is a value calculated under applicable SEC rules. In accordance with SEC requirements, the following adjustments were made to the applicable NEO’s total compensation for each year to determine the “Compensation Actually Paid”:

Additional 402(v) Disclosure
We provide the following disclosure regarding executive “Compensation Actually Paid” or “CAP” (as calculated in accordance with SEC rules), and certain Company performance for the fiscal years listed below. You should refer to “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” in this proxy statement for a complete description of how executive compensation relates to Company performance and how the Compensation Committee makes its decisions.
When referring to the CEO, the following table presents Mr. Lanigan for 2024 and 2023, Mr. Lanigan and Mr. Paul Howes for 2022, and Mr. Howes for 2021 and 2020. Effective February 28, 2022, Mr. Howes retired as Chief Executive Officer, and effective March 1, 2022, Mr. Lanigan was appointed President and Chief Executive Officer. The 2022 amounts shown for Mr. Lanigan represent total compensation for the full year, even though he was CEO for only a portion of the year.
Total Shareholder Return (TSR) is calculated by dividing (a) the sum of (i) the cumulative amount of dividends for the measurement period, assuming dividend reinvestment, and (ii) the difference between the Company’s share price at the end of each fiscal year shown and the beginning of the measurement period, and the beginning of the measurement period by (b) the Company’s share price at the beginning of the measurement period. The beginning of the measurement period for each year in the table is December 31, 2019. See below for a reconciliation of Consolidated EBITDA, as adjusted by the Compensation Committee, to net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for the year ended December 31, 2024. Included in the table is a reconciliation to Adjusted EBITDA. These measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. For such reconciliation for the year ended December 31, 2023, please see footnote 6 to our Pay Versus Performance Table in our 2024 Proxy Statement, and for reconciliations for the years ended December 31, 2022, December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 please see footnote 6 to our Pay Versus Performance Table in our 2023 Proxy Statement.

Financial Performance Measures
As described in greater detail under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the Company’s executive compensation program reflects a performance-based pay philosophy. The metrics that the Company uses for both our long-term and short-term incentive awards are selected based on an objective of incentivizing our NEOs to increase the value of our enterprise for our stockholders.
The following table presents the financial performance measures that the Company considers the most important in linking Compensation Actually Paid to our CEO and other NEOs for 2024 to Company performance. The measures in this table are not ranked.
Description of Certain Relationships between Information Presented in the Pay Versus Performance Table
As described in greater detail under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the Company’s executive compensation program reflects a performance-based pay philosophy. While the Company utilizes several performance measures to align executive compensation with Company performance, not all of those Company measures are presented in the Pay Versus Performance table. Moreover, the Company generally seeks to incentivize long-term performance, and therefore does not specifically align the Company’s performance measures with compensation that is actually paid (as computed in accordance with SEC rules) for a particular year. In accordance with SEC rules, the Company is providing the following descriptions of the relationships between information presented in the Pay Versus Performance table.
