Net Revenue is calculated in accordance with GAAP. While we use numerous financial and non-financial performance measures to evaluate performance under the Company’s compensation programs, net revenue 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 compensation actually paid to the company’s NEOs, for the most recently completed fiscal year, to Company performance.

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Total Shareholder Return
The following graph shows that the amount of compensation actually paid to our CEO and the average amount of compensation actually paid to our non-CEO NEOs as a group is generally aligned with the Company’s cumulative TSR over the three years presented in the table. The alignment of compensation actually paid with the Company’s cumulative TSR over the period presented is because equity awards comprise a significant portion of the compensation actually paid to the CEO and other NEOs. As described in more detail in the section “Executive Compensation — Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Appropriate Pay Mix,” the Company targets that approximately 83% of the value of total compensation awarded to the CEO and approximately 76% of the value of total compensation awarded to the other NEOs who served for all of FY23 is composed of equity awards, including restricted stock units, performance-based restricted stock units and stock options.

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Net Income
Compensation Actually Paid and Net Income
The following graph shows the amount of compensation actually paid to Mr. Rahim compared to the average amount of compensation actually paid to our NEOs as a group (excluding Mr. Rahim) from 2020 through fiscal 2023. While we do not use net income specifically as a performance measure in the overall executive compensation program, it is strongly correlated with Non-GAAP EPS, which we use as a metric for performance-based equity awards, as described in more detail in the section “Executive Compensation — Compensation Discussion and Analysis”.

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Company Selected Measure
Compensation Actually Paid and Revenue
As shown by the following graph, the amount of compensation actually paid to Mr. Rahim and the average amount of compensation actually paid to our NEOs as a group (excluding Mr. Rahim) is generally aligned with our net revenue over the four years presented in the table. While we use numerous financial and non-financial performance measures to evaluate performance under our compensation programs, net revenue is the financial performance measure that, in our assessment, represents the most important performance measure (that is not otherwise required to be disclosed in the table) used to link compensation actually paid to our NEOs, for the most recently completed fiscal year, to Company performance. We use net revenue when setting goals in our short-term incentive compensation program, as well as for setting goals for the performance-based RSUs that are awarded to our NEOs, as described in more detail in the section “Executive Compensation — Compensation Discussion and Analysis.”

Total Shareholder Return Vs Peer Group
Cumulative TSR of the Company vs. Peer Group
In this Pay vs. Performance section, the Company’s peer group is the Nasdaq Telecommunications Index, which we use for purposes of Item 201(e)(ii) of Regulation S-K. The performance graph below shows the cumulative total stockholder return over a four-year period assuming the investment of $100 on December 31, 2019, in each of Juniper Networks’ common stock and the Nasdaq Telecommunications Index. Total stockholder return assumes reinvestment of all dividends.

Net Revenue is calculated in accordance with GAAP. While we use numerous financial and non-financial performance measures to evaluate performance under the Company’s compensation programs, net revenue 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 compensation actually paid to the company’s NEOs, for the most recently completed fiscal year, to Company performance.
