| Fair values are calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 as of the end of the respective fiscal year, other than awards that vest in the covered year, which are valued as of the applicable vesting dates. Stock option fair values were calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, determined based on the same methodology as used to determine grant date fair values but using the common stock closing price on the applicable revaluation date, and in all cases based on volatility, term to exercise, dividend yields and interest rates determined as of the revaluation date. For PSUs and RSUs granted prior to 2021, the fair values were determined by multiplying the Class A common stock closing price on the valuation date by the number of outstanding shares, adjusted for dividends accrued, and, for PSUs as defined in the Glossary to FASB ASC Topic 718, taking into account the probable outcome of the PSUs’ performance conditions as of the valuation date. For PSUs granted in 2021 and subsequent years, fair values were calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation model, determined based on the probable outcome of the performance condition as of the applicable year-end revaluation date(s). No awards were granted and vested within the same year in any period covered by the table above, and no dividends, dividend equivalents or other earnings are paid on equity awards prior to their vesting dates.

Tabular List [Table Text Block] |
(6) | The following table sets forth an unranked list of the financial performance measures “most important” in 2024 for linking our NEOs’ compensation “actually paid” to company performance, which are the financial measures used in our annual cash bonus and long-term incentive program, as specifically listed below.
| Performance Measure
| Adjusted EBITDA
| Free Cash Flow
| Revenue
| ROIC
| Adjusted EPS growth (relative to S&P 100 EPS)
| These financial quantitative measures generally reflect those used internally to measure our performance and externally to report to investors, and we believe that, taken together, they provide a holistic measure of company growth, shareholder value and overall financial performance. We do not consider any one of the above performance measures to be the single most important financial measure for our company or executive compensation design. However, for purposes of compiling the above table in compliance with the SEC rules, which require us to present one of these most important measures, we are presenting Adjusted EBITDA. For more detail on these measures and why we believe that they are important in structuring our incentive compensation programs and linking pay with performance, please see the discussion under “Our Approach to Compensation” on page 29.
