1Mr. Iger has served as the Company’s CEO since November 20, 2022. Mr. Iger also served as Executive Chairman from February 24, 2020 until his retirement on December 31, 2021. Values shown relate to Mr. Iger’s service as CEO during fiscal 2025, fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023.
2Represents the amount of total compensation reported for our CEO, Mr. Iger, in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table for each of fiscal 2025, fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023.
3We made certain assumptions in valuing equity for our compensation actually paid (“CAP”) calculations to determine the fair value or change in fair value as of the applicable year-end date. The assumptions used for each valuation date included stock price, risk-free rate, stock price volatility, expected exercise behavior and the probable outcome of any applicable performance conditions. These assumptions were determined based on the same methodologies as used to determine grant date fair values and were estimated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718.
4The dollar amounts reported in the “Compensation Actually Paid to Mr. Iger column 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 CEO during the fiscal year. These amounts reflect the amount set forth in the “Total column of the Summary Compensation Table for the most recently completed fiscal year, with certain adjustments as described in the table below, in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. Amounts in the below reconciliation table may not sum to total due to rounding:

10Values in these columns were calculated in the same manner as required under Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K. Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) represents the cumulative return on a fixed investment of $100 in the common stock (including reinvested dividends) of (a) the Company and (b) our general industry peer group, respectively, for the period starting October 3, 2020, through the last day of the listed fiscal year.
For purposes of calculating Peer Group TSR, we used the following peer companies from our general industry peer group for each fiscal year:
Fiscal 2025: Alphabet Inc., Amazon.com, Inc., Apple Inc., AT&T Inc., Charter Communications, Inc., Comcast Corporation, International Business Machines Corporation, Meta Platforms, Inc., Microsoft Corporation, Netflix, Inc., NIKE, Inc., Oracle Corporation, Paramount Global (now Paramount Skydance Corporation), Salesforce, Inc., T-Mobile US, Inc., Uber Technologies, Inc., Verizon Communications Inc., Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. For fiscal 2025, Uber Technologies, Inc., was added due to its technology focus, global business-to-consumer market, growth trajectory and transaction-heavy platform that aligns with several of the Company’s key competencies.
Fiscal 2024: Alphabet Inc., Amazon.com, Inc., Apple Inc., AT&T Inc., Charter Communications, Inc., Comcast Corporation, International Business Machines Corporation, Meta Platforms, Inc., Microsoft Corporation, Netflix, Inc., NIKE, Inc., Oracle Corporation, Paramount Global (now Paramount Skydance Corporation), Salesforce, Inc., T-Mobile US, Inc., Verizon Communications Inc., Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. For fiscal 2024, Salesforce was added due to its subscription-based technology focus and recurring revenue model, and T-Mobile US was added due to its continued valuation growth, comparable financial size and strong consumer focus.
11Peer Group TSR for each of fiscal years 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 was calculated using the fiscal 2025 general industry peer group identified in the immediately preceding footnote. Had the fiscal 2024 general industry peer group identified in the immediately preceding footnote been used for the five fiscal years instead, Peer Group TSR would have resulted in the following:
2025: $224.27
2024: $179.61
2023: $128.26
2022: $96.74
2021: $131.00
12Reflects net income calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (”GAAP”) in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income included in the Company’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the applicable fiscal year.
13“Adjusted Total Segment Operating Income” consists of total segment operating income, as adjusted based on the Compensation Committee's evaluation against the bonus plan performance each fiscal year. ”Total segment operating income” consists of the total of segment operating income from each of our segments, which is equivalent to income from continuing operations before income taxes, adjusted for equity in the loss of the India joint venture (for fiscal 2025), for corporate and unallocated shared expenses, restructuring and impairment charges, A+E gain (for fiscal 2023), net other (income) expense, net interest expense, amortization of TFCF and Hulu intangible assets and fair value step-up on film and television costs and the impact of content license early terminations (for fiscal 2022). In addition, in fiscal 2021 the Committee adjusted actual total segment operating income to exclude the net benefits the Company received from timing variances related to the pandemic, such as savings from delayed programming and domestic parks operating efficiencies, partially offset by delays in park openings. We determined Adjusted Total Segment Operating Income to be the most important financial performance measure used to link Company performance to CAP to Mr. Iger and our non-CEO NEOs in fiscal 2025, as required pursuant to Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. This performance measure may not have been the most important financial performance measure for prior fiscal years, and we may determine a different financial performance measure to be the most important financial performance measure in future years.

Award Timing Disclosures [Line Items]  
Award Timing MNPI Disclosure
Equity awards are generally approved on dates the Compensation Committee meets and vesting dates are determined by the Compensation Committee. Committee meetings are normally scheduled well in advance and are not scheduled with an eye to announcements of MNPI regarding the Company. The Committee may make an award with an effective date in the future, including awards contingent on commencement of employment, execution of a new employment agreement or some other subsequent event, or may act by unanimous written consent on the date of such an event when the proposed issuances have been reviewed by the Committee prior to the date of the event. During fiscal 2025, the Company did not grant stock options to any NEO during any period beginning four business days before and ending one business day after the filing of any Company periodic report on Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, or the filing or furnishing of any Company current report on Form 8-K that disclosed any MNPI.
Award Timing Method Equity awards are generally approved on dates the Compensation Committee meets and vesting dates are determined by the Compensation Committee. Committee meetings are normally scheduled well in advance and are not scheduled with an eye to announcements of MNPI regarding the Company. The Committee may make an award with an effective date in the future, including awards contingent on commencement of employment, execution of a new employment agreement or some other subsequent event, or may act by unanimous written consent on the date of such an event when the proposed issuances have been reviewed by the Committee prior to the date of the event.
Award Timing Predetermined true
Award Timing MNPI Considered true
Award Timing, How MNPI Considered The Compensation Committee does not grant equity awards in anticipation of the release of material nonpublic information (“MNPI”), and the Company does not time the release of MNPI based upon grant dates of equity. In the event MNPI becomes known to the Compensation Committee before granting an equity award, the Compensation Committee will consider such information and use its business judgment to determine whether to delay the grant of equity to avoid any appearance of impropriety.
