PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE
In accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation
S-K,
we are providing the following information regarding the relationship between the compensation of our CEO (or Principal Executive Officer (“PEO”)) and other named executive officers
(“Non-PEO
NEOs”), and certain financial performance measures of the Company for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2023, September 30, 2022, and September 30, 2021. For further information on the LDCC’s
“pay-for-performance”
philosophy and how executive compensation aligns with the Company’s performance, refer to the Compensation Discussion & Analysis section of this proxy statement.

Amounts reflect the total compensation for our PEO, and the average total compensation of our
Non-PEO
NEOs, as reported in the Summary Compensation Table for each applicable fiscal year.
 
(3)
 
The amounts shown for “Compensation Actually Paid” have been calculated in accordance with Item 402(v) and do not reflect compensation actually earned, realized or received by the Company’s PEO and Non-PEO NEOs. In accordance with Item 402(v) requirements, the fair values of unvested and outstanding equity awards were remeasured as of the end of each fiscal year, and as of each vesting date, during the fiscal years displayed in the tables below. For MSUs with a relative total shareholder return (“TSR”) metric, the fair values as of each measurement date (prior to the end of the performance period) were determined using a Monte Carlo simulation pricing model, with assumptions and methodologies that are generally consistent with those used to estimate the fair value of the awards at grant under U.S. GAAP. The range of estimates used in the Monte Carlo calculations are as follows: (i) for fiscal 2023, expected volatility between 36.6% - 41.1% and risk-free interest rate between 4.53% - 5.49%; (ii) for fiscal 2022, expected volatility 44.2% and risk-free interest rate between 3.20% - 4.19%; and (iii) for fiscal 2021, expected volatility 42.7% and risk-free interest rate between 0.05% - 0.32%. For PSUs, which have metrics related to Adjusted Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA, the fair values reflect the probable outcome of the performance vesting conditions as of each measurement date. For a discussion of the assumptions made in the valuation of these awards at grant, see Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form
10-K
filed with the SEC on November 8, 2023. For each fiscal year reflected, the “Compensation Actually Paid” to the PEO and the average “Compensation Actually Paid” to the
Non-PEO
NEOs reflect the following adjustments made to the total compensation amounts reported in the Summary Compensation Table for each applicable fiscal year, computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation
S-K.
None of our NEOs participate in a pension plan; therefore, no adjustment from the Summary Compensation Table total related to pension value was made.

The Company’s TSR and the Company’s Peer Group TSR reflected in these columns for each applicable fiscal year is calculated based on a fixed investment of $100 on September 30, 2020, including reinvestment of any dividends, through and including the end of each fiscal year shown in the table. The Peer Group used to determine the Company’s Peer Group TSR is the S&P 500 Application Software Index, which is the industry index used in the stock price performance graph in our Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, pursuant to Item 201(e) of Regulation
S-K.

Reflects relative TSR vs. the Russell 3000 Index. We determined relative TSR to be the most important financial performance measure (that is not otherwise required to be disclosed in the table) used to link Company performance to “Compensation Actually Paid” to our PEO and
Non-PEO
NEOs in fiscal 2023. Relative TSR is the financial metric used in our MSU awards. This performance measure may not have been the most important financial performance measure in past years, and we may determine a different financial performance measure to be the most important financial performance measure in future years. Relative TSR is equal to FICO TSR over each one-year period less the TSR of the Russell 3000 Index.
