Pay Versus Performance
As required by Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act, we are providing the following information about the relationship between executive “compensation actually paid” (as computed in accordance with SEC rules) and certain financial performance measures. For further information concerning our pay-for-performance philosophy and how we align executive compensation with our performance, please see the section entitled “—Compensation Discussion and Analysis” beginning on page 38.
The following tables and related disclosures provide information about (i) the total compensation of our principal executive officer (“PEO”) and our non-PEO named executive officers (collectively, the “Other NEOs”) as presented in the “Fiscal 2023-2025 Summary Compensation Table” above and its equivalent table in prior years’ proxy statements; (ii) the “compensation actually paid” to our PEO and our Other NEOs, as calculated pursuant to Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act; (iii) certain financial performance measures; and (iv) the relationship between the “compensation actually paid” to those financial performance measures.

Financial Performance Measures
As described in greater detail under “—Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” our executive compensation programs reflect a pay-for-performance philosophy. The metrics that we use for both our short- and long-term incentives are selected to incentivize our named executive officers to create value for our stockholders. We will continue to evolve our financial performance measures in alignment with our business strategy to maintain a strong focus on long-term stockholder value creation. The most important financial performance measures used to link executive compensation actually paid to our named executive officers to our company’s performance for the most recent fiscal year, are as follows:
