Adjustment To PEO Compensation, Footnote [Text Block] None of our NEOs participate in a pension plan; therefore, we did not report a change in pension value for any of the years reflected in this table, and a deduction from the SCT total related to pension value is not needed. The following table shows items added to or deducted from the Total Compensation in the Summary Compensation Table in order to calculate the amount of executive Compensation Actually Paid (or “CAP”), as shown in table above:

Non-GAAP Measure Description [Text Block] Our company-selected measure, which is the measure we believe represents the most important financial performance not otherwise presented in the table above that we use to link CAP to our NEOs for fiscal 2022 to our company’s performance, is Profit Before Taxes Margin (or “PBT Margin”). PBT Margin is a non-GAAP financial measure that takes GAAP Profit Before Taxes, adds back litigation settlement expense and in prior years, other nonrecurring items, and divides by Net Sales. For a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure for fiscal year 2022, see Annex A at the end of this proxy statement.
