(5)The EEI Investor-Owned Electrics Index ("EEI Electrics Index") (market capitalization-weighted) is a broad measure of industry performance, and which is the industry index used to show our performance in our Form 10-K.
(6)The SEC's rules and related guidance state that the "Company-Selected Measure" must be a financial performance measure not otherwise presented in the table above that we use to link CAP for our NEOs for fiscal 2025 to our Company's performance. The only financial performance measures used in our executive compensation program are relative TSR and ongoing EPS, which is a non-GAAP measure that we reconcile in Exhibit A which can be adjusted for certain identified financial impacts. Adjustments were made to ongoing EPS for 2025 as noted in Exhibit A. As described in the CD&A, our annual incentive awards are, in part, based on ongoing EPS. When ongoing EPS is below guidance, annual incentive awards will not be paid. As described in the CD&A, our 2025-2027 PSU awards are, in part, based on the rate at which the Company’s annual ongoing EPS changes from the 2024 baseline of $3.55 to the end of 2027, and the number of PSUs that will vest is subject to a relative TSR ranking modifier.
