Additional 402(v) Disclosure

Pay Versus Performance

As required by Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act, we are providing the following information about the relationship between compensation actually paid (“CAP”) as calculated pursuant to Item 402(v) and performance. This disclosure has been prepared in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K and does not necessarily reflect value actually realized by the executives or how the Compensation and Social Principles Committee evaluates compensation decisions in light of Company or individual performance. For further information concerning the Company’s variable pay-for-performance philosophy and how the Company aligns executive compensation with the Company’s performance, see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” above.

Cumulative total shareholder return (“TSR”) is calculated based on a hypothetical $100 investment beginning at the market close on the last trading day before fiscal 2021. The TSR is reported on a cumulative basis over fiscal 2021-2024. Specifically, TSR for fiscal 2021 in the table will represent TSR over fiscal 2021. TSR for fiscal 2022 will represent the cumulative TSR over fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2022. TSR for fiscal 2023 will represent the cumulative TSR over fiscal 2021, 2022 and 2023. TSR for fiscal 2024 will represent the cumulative TSR over fiscal 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024.

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

Financial Performance Measures

As described in greater detail under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” above, the Company’s executive compensation program reflects a variable pay‑for‑performance philosophy. The metrics we use 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 shareholders. The most important financial performance measures we used to link executive compensation actually paid to our NEOs, for the most recently completed fiscal year, to our performance are as follows:

Analysis of the Information Presented in the Pay versus Performance Table

We believe the “Compensation Actually Paid” in each of the years reported above and over the three-year cumulative period are reflective of the Compensation and Social Principles Committee’s philosophy to create and reinforce a pay for performance culture. As described in the CD&A above, a significant portion of annual target compensation awarded to NEOs is compensation at risk because it is dependent on the Company’s performance against pre-established performance goals under our Annual Incentive Plan, including our adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, adjusted earnings per share, and return on equity performance. The amounts reflected as “Compensation Actually Paid” represents a new required calculation of compensation that differs significantly from the Summary Compensation Table calculation of compensation, primarily as it relates to equity valuations. The Compensation Actually Paid calculation also differs from the way in which the Compensation and Social Principles Committee views annual compensation decisions, as discussed in the CD&A. The amounts shown in the tables above are calculated in accordance with SEC rules and may not reflect actual amounts paid or earned by the NEOs, including with respect to equity awards that remain subject to forfeiture if vesting conditions are not satisfied.

The charts below show the relationship between “Compensation Actually Paid” to the Company’s PEOs and NEOs in fiscal 2022, 2023 and 2024, respectively, calculated under the SEC rules and the Company’s TSR, S&P Household Durables TSR, the Company’s Net Income and its Adjusted EBITDA:

Non-GAAP Measure Description

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income determined in accordance with GAAP adjusted to exclude, (1) income tax expense, (2) interest expense, net, (3) depreciation and amortization expense, net of amounts included in restructuring, (4) amortization of customer relationship intangibles and trademarks, (5) expenses related to the RSI acquisition and subsequent restructuring charges that the Company incurred related to the acquisition, (6) non-recurring restructuring charges, (7) stock-based compensation expense, (8) gain/loss on asset disposals, (9) change in fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts, and (10) net gain/loss on debt forgiveness and modification. 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 compensation actually paid to the Company’s NEOs, for the most recently completed fiscal year, to Company performance.
