Adjustment To PEO Compensation, Footnote   Compensation actually paid ("CAP") as reported in this section is derived from certain adjustments made to the Summary Compensation Table totals. CAP does not necessarily represent cash and/or equity value transferred to the applicable named executive officer without restriction, but rather is a value calculated under applicable SEC rules. In general, CAP is calculated as total compensation reported in the applicable fiscal year in the Summary Compensation Table (i) less the aggregate equity compensation reported in the applicable fiscal year in the Summary Compensation Table, (ii) plus any dividends or dividend equivalents paid during the fiscal year, (iii) plus the aggregate change in equity fair value accrued for equity awards outstanding as of fiscal year end, and (iv) plus the aggregate change in equity fair value up to any applicable vesting event for equity awards vesting during the fiscal year. The reconciliations of total compensation as reported in the Summary Compensation Table to CAP for our PEO and other named executive officers are included in the tables below.
(3)Equity compensation fair value is calculated based on assumptions determined in accordance with ASC Topic 718. Grant date fair values for time-based restricted stock units are calculated using the stock price as of the date of grant. Adjustments have been made using the stock price as of each fiscal year end and as of each respective vesting date. Grant date fair values for performance-based restricted stock units linked to ROE are calculated using the stock price as of the date of grant assuming target performance. Grant date fair values for performance-based restricted stock units linked to rTSR are determined based on Monte Carlo valuations. Adjustments for performance-based restricted stock units have been made using stock price, Monte Carlo valuation, and performance accrual modifier information, as applicable, as of each fiscal year end and as of each respective vesting date. Grant date fair values for stock options are calculated based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model as of the date of grant. Adjustments have been made using stock option fair values as of each measurement date using the Company's stock price and updated assumptions (i.e., term, volatility, dividend yield, risk free rates) as of each respective measurement date. Performance-based awards are recognized as vested in the fiscal year during which the HR Committee formally certifies the applicable performance results and any earned shares are distributed to the applicable executive.
The following table presents the reconciliation of total compensation as reported in the Summary Compensation Table to CAP for our named executive officers, calculated in accordance with SEC rules, for fiscal years 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021:

Non-GAAP Measure Description   The Company has identified Profit Before Tax, or PBT, as the company-selected measure for the pay versus performance disclosure, as it represents the most important financial performance measure used to link CAP for the PEO and the other named executive officers in 2025 to the Company’s performance. PBT is defined as income from continuing operations before income taxes and has been adjusted for each fiscal year presented to exclude the impacts of certain gains, losses or other items that are not indicative of our normal business operations as approved by the HR Committee. PBT reflected in the table is PBT for the Company as a whole. For purposes of determining incentive compensation payouts for the PEO and certain other named executive officers during the years disclosed, individual adjustments were made from time to time, consistent with the authority described in the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" section.
