Compensation Actually Paid vs. Total Shareholder Return [Text Block]
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 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 87% of the value of total compensation awarded to the CEO and approximately 78% of the value of total compensation awarded to the other NEOs who served for all of FY22 is composed of equity awards, including restricted stock units, performance-based restricted stock units and stock options.

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 the Company’s NEOs as a group (excluding Mr. Rahim). While the Company does not use net income specifically as a performance measure in the overall executive compensation program, it is strongly correlated with Non-GAAP EPS, which the Company uses 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 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 the Company’s NEOs as a group (excluding Mr. Rahim) is generally aligned with the Company’s net revenue over the three years presented in the table. 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. The Company uses net revenue when setting goals in the Company’s short-term incentive compensation program, as well as for setting goals for the performance-based RSUs that are awarded to the NEOs, as described in more detail in the section “Executive Compensation — Compensation Discussion and Analysis.”
