Pay vs Performance Disclosure

Pay vs Performance Disclosure, Table

Pay Versus Performance

The following table reports the compensation of our CEO (PEO) and the average compensation of our other NEOs as reported in the Summary Compensation Table for the past four years, as well as their “compensation actually paid”, alongside total shareholder return (TSR) and net income metrics, and a company-selected measure of Adjusted EBITDA. We selected this measure as the most important in linking compensation actually paid to our NEOs for 2023 to our performance, as Adjusted EBITDA was the predominant metric used in our 2023 annual incentive plan, as described in more detail above.

The dollar amounts shown is this column reflect “compensation actually paid” calculated by adjusting the amounts in the summary compensation table in accordance with SEC rules. As required, the dollar amounts include unpaid amounts of equity compensation that may be realizable in future periods, and as such, the dollar amounts shown do not fully represent the actual final amount of compensation earned or actually paid to the CEO or other NEO during the applicable years. The adjustments made are shown in the table below:
