Compensation Actually Paid vs. Total Shareholder Return

Compensation Actually Paid and Company TSR

As demonstrated by the following chart, the amount of CAP to the Company’s CEOs for the applicable year and the average amount of CAP to the Company’s other NEOs as a group is aligned with the Company’s cumulative TSR over the five years presented in the table. The alignment of CAP reflects the fact that a significant portion of the compensation paid to our CEOs and to the other NEOs is comprised of equity awards, as described in more detail in “Compensation Matters – Compensation Discussion and Analysis.”

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Net Income

Compensation Actually Paid and Net Income

The following chart demonstrates the amount of CAP to the Company’s CEOs for the applicable year and the average amount of CAP to the Company’s other NEOs as a group in relation to the Company’s net income over the last four fiscal years. The Company does not use net income as a performance measure in the overall executive compensation program.

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Company Selected Measure

Compensation Actually Paid and CANCOI

The following graph demonstrates the amount of CAP to our CEOs and the average amount of CAP to the Company’s other NEOs as a group in relation to the Company’s CANCOI (as described above and in the Annex to this proxy statement), over the five years presented in the Pay Versus Performance table. While the Company uses numerous financial performance measures for the purpose of evaluating performance for the Company’s compensation programs, the Company has determined that CANCOI 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 CAP to the Company’s NEOs, for the most recently completed fiscal year, to Company performance. As described in more detail in “Compensation Matters – Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the Company utilizes CANCOI when setting goals in the Company’s annual cash incentive program because it views CANCOI as a key corporate metric that takes into account both revenue and expense.

Total Shareholder Return Vs Peer Group

Company TSR and S&P 500 Index

As demonstrated by the following chart, the Company’s cumulative TSR over the five-year period presented in the table was 511.94% while the cumulative TSR of the S&P 500 Index was 98.89% and cumulative TSR of the S&P MidCap 400 Index was 82.29% over the five years presented in the table.

Tabular List, Table

Financial Performance Measures

As described in greater detail under “Compensation Matters – Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the Company’s executive compensation program reflects a variable

pay-for-performance

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 most important financial performance measures used by the Company to link executive compensation actually paid to the Company’s NEOs, for the most recently completed fiscal year, to the Company’s performance are as follows:
