For the values of equity awards at fiscal
year-end
that are reflected in the Total Adjustments above in the footnote 3 tables, the valuations of certain performance stock unit awards which vest based on relative TSR and were granted prior to our 2023 fiscal year use a Monte Carlo simulation methodology which differs from the approach used to value the awards as of the grant date. A Monte Carlo simulation was used because it provides a better estimate of fair value compared to closing stock price, the methodology used for the grant date valuations.

The Peer Group TSR set forth in this table utilizes the Dow Jones U.S. Home Construction 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 November 30, 2023. The comparison assumes $100 was invested for the period starting November 30, 2020, through the end of the listed year in the Company and in the Dow Jones U.S. Home Construction Index, respectively. Historical stock performance is not necessarily indicative of future stock performance.
 
5.
We determined Pretax Income (as defined in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—2023 Compensation Decisions—Annual Cash Incentive Compensation” of this proxy statement) 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. This performance measure may not have been the most important financial performance measure for years 2022 and 2021 and we may determine a different financial performance measure to be the most important financial performance measure in future years.
