(4) The Peer Group TSR set forth in this table utilizes the Dow Jones U.S. Select Pharmaceuticals Index, 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 year ended December 31, 2023. The comparison assumes $100 was invested for the period starting December 31, 2019 (the last trading day of fiscal 2019), through the end of the listed year in the Company and in the Dow Jones U.S. Select Pharmaceuticals Index, respectively. Historical stock performance is not necessarily indicative of future stock performance.
(5) We determined adjusted EBITDA 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 2023. We may determine a different financial performance measure to be the most important financial performance measure in future years. Adjusted EBITDA is not a term defined under U.S. GAAP. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income before net interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), as adjusted for certain other items described in our SEC filings, including stock-based compensation expense, acquisition, site closure and idle facility expenses, restructuring and other charges, net charges related to legal matters, asset impairment charges, foreign exchange losses or gains, change in fair value of contingent consideration, and insurance recoveries for property losses and associated expenses. Prior to January 1, 2022, research and development milestone expenses related to license and collaboration agreements were excluded from our calculation of adjusted EBITDA. The amounts shown in this column for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 reflect this historical approach. Effective January 1, 2022, we no longer exclude research and development milestone expenses related to license and collaboration agreements from adjusted EBITDA. The amounts shown in this column for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 reflect this modified approach; for prior periods, refer to our Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 4, 2022 for a full reconciliation of previously reported non-GAAP results, including adjusted EBITDA, to revised non-GAAP results. As a result of this modified approach, our reported adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was revised to $512 million and $433 million, respectively.

[1] Chirag Patel and Chintu Patel were our Co-PEOs for each year presented. The individuals comprising the Non-PEO NEOs for each year presented are listed below.
[2] Compensation Actually Paid reflects the exclusions and inclusions of certain amounts for the PEOs and the Non-PEO NEOs as set forth below. Equity values are calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. Amounts in the Exclusion of Stock Awards column are the amounts from the Stock Awards column set forth in the Summary Compensation Table.
[3] The amounts shown for Compensation Actually Paid have been calculated in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K and do not reflect compensation actually earned, realized, or received by the Company’s NEOs. These amounts reflect the Summary Compensation Table Total with certain adjustments as described in footnote 3 below.
[4] The Peer Group TSR set forth in this table utilizes the Dow Jones U.S. Select Pharmaceuticals Index, 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 year ended December 31, 2023. The comparison assumes $100 was invested for the period starting December 31, 2019 (the last trading day of fiscal 2019), through the end of the listed year in the Company and in the Dow Jones U.S. Select Pharmaceuticals Index, respectively. Historical stock performance is not necessarily indicative of future stock performance.
[5] We determined adjusted EBITDA 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 2023. We may determine a different financial performance measure to be the most important financial performance measure in future years. Adjusted EBITDA is not a term defined under U.S. GAAP. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income before net interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), as adjusted for certain other items described in our SEC filings, including stock-based compensation expense, acquisition, site closure and idle facility expenses, restructuring and other charges, net charges related to legal matters, asset impairment charges, foreign exchange losses or gains, change in fair value of contingent consideration, and insurance recoveries for property losses and associated expenses. Prior to January 1, 2022, research and development milestone expenses related to license and collaboration agreements were excluded from our calculation of adjusted EBITDA. The amounts shown in this column for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 reflect this historical approach. Effective January 1, 2022, we no longer exclude research and development milestone expenses related to license and collaboration agreements from adjusted EBITDA. The amounts shown in this column for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 reflect this modified approach; for prior periods, refer to our Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 4, 2022 for a full reconciliation of previously reported non-GAAP results, including adjusted EBITDA, to revised non-GAAP results. As a result of this modified approach, our reported adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was revised to $512 million and $433 million, respectively.
