Pay-Versus-Performance

 

As required by Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the following table provides information about the relationship between executive compensation actually paid to our NEOs and certain financial performance measures of the Company. The table below provides information about the compensation shown on the Summary Compensation Table (“SCT”) and the Compensation Actually Paid (“CAP”) to the CEO and the average for the other NEOs for the years ended December 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, December 31, 2023, December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, along with information on total shareholder return (“TSR”), net income and adjusted operating income as the Company-Selected Measure for each year. For more information concerning the Company’s pay-for-performance philosophy and how the Company seeks to align executive compensation with the Company’s performance, please refer to “Executive Compensation – Compensation Discussion & Analysis” on page 15.

 

As reflected in the table below, CAP for our CEO for the year ended December 31, 2025 was approximately 12.5% higher than the total compensation disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table for our CEO.

Financial Performance Measures

 

As described in greater detail in our “Executive Compensation – Compensation Discussion & Analysis” on page 15, we have a significant focus on pay-for performance. Adjusted operating income was the sole financial performance measure used to link CAP (as calculated in accordance with the SEC rules) to our NEOs in 2025 to our financial performance for the year.
