(1) The amounts in this column represent the amounts reported for Mr. Lindsay in the total column of the Summary Compensation Table (“SCT”) for each applicable fiscal year. ​ (2) Compensation Actually Paid (“CAP”) is the SCT total value for Mr. Lindsay, and average SCT total for the non-CEO NEOs, for each applicable fiscal year with adjustments to the stock award and pension values as required by SEC regulations and described in more detail in the reconciliation tables for our CEO and non-CEO NEOs below. ​ (3) The amounts reported in this column represent the average of the amounts reported in the total column of the SCT for the Non-CEO NEOs’ in each applicable fiscal year. For each of fiscal years 2023, 2022, and 2021, the Non-CEO NEOs were Messrs. Smith, Bell and Lennox and Ms. Hair. ​ (4) The Company calculates TSR in a manner consistent with the stock performance graph disclosure requirements under Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K, reflecting cumulative TSR on an initial base investment of $100 for the measurement periods beginning on September 30, 2020 and ending on September 30 of each of 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The peer group used for comparison for each of the fiscal years 2023, 2022 and 2021 is the Philadelphia Oil Service (“OSX”) Index. ​ (5) We determined Modified Cash Flow to be the most important financial performance measure used to link Company performance to CAP for fiscal 2023. Modified Cash Flow was the performance objective in our 2023 STI Plan with the heaviest weighting. Modified Cash Flow is (a) drilling services revenue less the following expenses from condensed consolidated statements of operations (i) drilling services operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization and (ii) selling, general and administrative expenses, with (b) the following normalizing adjustments: ​ (6) STI Plan expense to the extent actual payout was different than amounts accrued and certain director stock expenses. ​ (7) Expenses or expense accruals for certain legal proceedings. ​ (8) Valuation adjustment of a contingent earnout. ​ (9) Certain consulting expenses recognized in fiscal 2021 but included in the 2022 STI Plan performance objective target. ​ (10) Expenses related to a business development project and cost savings initiatives. ​ The CEO Summary Compensation Table to CAP reconciliation is summarized in the following table:
