Company Selected Measure Name

We determined Adjusted Operating Income to be the most important financial performance measure used to link Company performance to Compensation Actually Paid to our PEOs and Non-PEO NEOs in fiscal year 2023. “Adjusted Operating Income” for purposes of annual incentive payments means Operating Income but takes into account any unusual or unique items, such as one time gains or losses, as determined by the Compensation and Leadership Development Committee. This performance measure may not have been the most important financial performance measure for fiscal years 2022 and 2021 and we may determine a different financial performance measure to be the most important financial performance measure in future years.

Total Shareholder Return Vs Peer Group

The Company’s Total Shareholder Return (TSR) and Peer Group TSR (change in the year-end stock price plus reinvested dividends) as shown in the table, is based on $100 invested at the end of fiscal year 2020, through the end of each of our fiscal years 2021, 2022 and 2023, respectively. The Peer Group TSR set forth in this table utilizes a custom group of peer companies, which we also utilize in the stock performance graph required by Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K included in our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023. During fiscal year 2023, we changed our peer group to include geographically relevant peers in addition to those operating in the manufacturing, food and consumer packaged goods (CPG) industries, because we believe a peer group that includes companies with a comparable geographical market as well as companies in adjacent industries better reflects the Company’s competitive landscape. The fiscal year 2023 peer group is comprised of the following companies: Albertsons Companies, Inc., Archer-Daniels-Midland Company, Bunge Ltd., Caterpillar, Inc.,The Coca-Cola Company, Deere & Co., J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc., The Kraft Heinz Company, Mondelez International, Inc., PepsiCo, Inc., Performance Food Group Co., Sysco Corp., United Natural Foods, Inc., U.S. Foods Holding Corp., The Proctor & Gamble Company and Walmart Inc. For fiscal years 2020 to 2022, our Peer Group (the “Old Peer Group”) was comprised of the following companies: Archer-Daniels-Midland Company, Bunge Limited, Campbell Soup Company, ConAgra Foods, Inc., The Coca-Cola Company, General Mills, Inc., Hormel Foods Corp., Kellogg Co., The Kraft Heinz Company, Mondelez International, Inc., PepsiCo, Inc., Pilgrim’s Pride Corporation, The Hershey Company and The J.M. Smucker Company. For the Old Peer Group, the total shareholder return for fiscal years 2021, 2022 and 2023 would be $110.55, $123.08, and $128.04, respectively. In calculating the total shareholder return for each peer group, the return of each company in the peer group was weighted by market capitalization.
