The numbers previously disclosed for Ball’s TSR for 2021 and for peer group TSR for 2020-2023 have been updated. The differences relate to utilizing different providers who use different methodologies for dividend reinvestment. All TSR numbers disclosed above are now based on the same reinvestment methodology.
(5)
Our Peer Group for TSR is the Dow Jones Containers & Packaging Index (DJCPI). The majority of Ball’s sales and earnings are generated from our global packaging business, and members of the DJCPI compete across similar markets and product categories for rigid packaging and secondary packaging. While share price performance may not fully capture our progress in 2025, and recent years, the foundation we are building, through growing volumes, robust cash flow, increasing EVA dollars and significant capital returns, positions us to drive sustained value for shareholders in the years ahead. Ball’s 1-year, 3-year and 5-year total shareholder returns are shown below, relative to both the DJCPI and the S&P 500.

2024 net income included the proceeds of the sale of our Aerospace business.
​
(7)
The 2025 EVA number above reflects the historical EVA definition (“Prior EVA”). This is different from an updated EVA methodology (“New EVA”) used for setting EVA targets for incentive purposes from 2025 onwards. The EVA performance targets for the 2025 Performance Stock Units (PSUs), part of the company’s Long Term Incentive Program, as disclosed on page 37, are based on New EVA, which redefines invested capital from the historical Operating Approach “Net Assets Method” to defining invested capital under the “Financing Approach” ​(Net Debt + Equity). This approach was adopted to reflect the company size post-Aerospace sale and to provide more transparency to investors regarding Ball’s invested capital post-sale. Under New EVA, EVA dollars were rebased for 2024 using the Financing Approach, with the EVA targets for the 2025-27 PSUs being determined from the reset 2024 baseline.
Our Company Selected Measure is EVA, as it is the lens used to measure business and strategic initiatives. There is a high correlation between our total executive compensation actually paid compared to our EVA performance over recent years. As mentioned under “Summary of Changes made to 2025 Executive Compensation”, the company updated the incentive programs for 2025 to ensure that the compensation plans were aligned to the strategy of simplifying sustainability for our customers by delivering scalable aluminum packaging solutions and to our ambition of achieving a $30 billion market capitalization by 2030. EVA has served us well as our key incentive metric and continues to play an important role going forward as part of a broader set of incentive measures.

Non-GAAP Measure Description    
(7)
The 2025 EVA number above reflects the historical EVA definition (“Prior EVA”). This is different from an updated EVA methodology (“New EVA”) used for setting EVA targets for incentive purposes from 2025 onwards. The EVA performance targets for the 2025 Performance Stock Units (PSUs), part of the company’s Long Term Incentive Program, as disclosed on page 37, are based on New EVA, which redefines invested capital from the historical Operating Approach “Net Assets Method” to defining invested capital under the “Financing Approach” ​(Net Debt + Equity). This approach was adopted to reflect the company size post-Aerospace sale and to provide more transparency to investors regarding Ball’s invested capital post-sale. Under New EVA, EVA dollars were rebased for 2024 using the Financing Approach, with the EVA targets for the 2025-27 PSUs being determined from the reset 2024 baseline.
Our Company Selected Measure is EVA, as it is the lens used to measure business and strategic initiatives. There is a high correlation between our total executive compensation actually paid compared to our EVA performance over recent years. As mentioned under “Summary of Changes made to 2025 Executive Compensation”, the company updated the incentive programs for 2025 to ensure that the compensation plans were aligned to the strategy of simplifying sustainability for our customers by delivering scalable aluminum packaging solutions and to our ambition of achieving a $30 billion market capitalization by 2030. EVA has served us well as our key incentive metric and continues to play an important role going forward as part of a broader set of incentive measures.
