Compensation Actually Paid vs. Total Shareholder Return Compensation Actually Paid and Cumulative TSR
From 2022 year-end to 2023 year-end, the Company’s Cumulative TSR increased 41% to $199.77, while the Peer
Group Cumulative TSR increased 16% to $131.91, the compensation actually paid to the PEO increased $32.4 million during
2023 as compared to 2022 and the average of the compensation actually paid to the Non-PEO NEOs increased $15.4 million.
The significant increases in both the compensation actually paid to the PEO and the average of the Non-PEO NEOs, both
going from a negative number to a positive, was primarily driven by the increase in fair value of equity awards granted in
both the current and prior years, compared to declines in the prior year, and is consistent with the increase in the Company’s
Cumulative TSR and the significant component of executive compensation paid in equity.
From 2021 year-end to 2022 year-end, the Company’s Cumulative TSR decreased 35% to $142.08, while the Peer
Group Cumulative TSR decreased 14% to $113.64, the compensation actually paid to the PEO decreased 106% during 2022,
as compared to 2021 and the average of the compensation actually paid to the Non-PEO NEOs decreased 103%. The
significant declines in both the compensation actually paid to the PEO and the average of the Non-PEO NEOs was primarily
driven by the decline in fair value of equity awards granted in both the current and prior years and is consistent with the
decline in the Company’s Cumulative TSR and the significant component of executive compensation paid in equity.
From 2020 year-end to 2021 year-end, the Company’s Cumulative TSR increased 61% to $218.10, while the Peer
Group Cumulative TSR increased 32% to $131.62, the compensation actually paid to the PEO increased 67% during 2021, as
compared to 2020 and the average of the compensation actually paid to the Non-PEO NEOs increased 33%. The significant
increases in both the compensation actually paid to the PEO and the average of the Non-PEO NEOs was primarily driven by
the increase in fair value of equity awards granted in both the current and prior years and is consistent with the increase in the
Company’s Cumulative TSR and the significant component of executive compensation paid in equity.
From 2019 year-end to 2020 year-end, the Company’s Cumulative TSR increased 36% to $135.50, while the Peer
Group Cumulative TSR decreased 1% to $99.47.
The graphic below illustrates the relationship between compensation actually paid to the Company’s Cumulative TSR,
as well as the relationship between the Company’s Cumulative TSR to the Peer Group Cumulative TSR for each of the
periods described above.

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Net Income Compensation Actually Paid and Net Income
From 2022 year-end to 2023 year-end, net income increased 17%, the compensation actually paid to the PEO increased
$32.4 million and the average of the compensation actually paid to the Non-PEO NEOs increased $15.4 million. The primary
driver of the increase in compensation actually paid in 2023, a significant component of which is compensation paid in equity,
was the positive equity award adjustments driven by a current year increase in fair value of equity awards granted in the
current and prior years, in comparison to a prior year decline in fair value of equity awards granted in the current and prior
years. Therefore, the increase in net income, representing the Company’s strong performance during the year, did
directionally correlate with the increases in compensation actually paid during the year, as the increase in net income
correlated with the stock price appreciation during the year.
From 2021 year-end to 2022 year-end, net income increased 32%, while the compensation actually paid to the PEO
decreased 106%, and the average of the compensation actually paid to the Non-PEO NEOs decreased 103%, as compared to
2021. The increase in net income, representing the Company’s strong performance during the year, did not directionally
correlate with the declines in compensation actually paid as the increase in net income did not correlate with the stock price
depreciation during the year. Declines in the compensation actually paid were primarily driven by declines in the fair value of
equity awards granted in both the current and prior years, resulting in negative equity award adjustments. Equity awards are a
significant component of executive compensation and therefore these adjustments have a significant impact on compensation
actually paid.
From 2020 year-end to 2021 year-end, net income increased 25%, the compensation actually paid to the PEO increased
67% and the average of the compensation actually paid to the Non-PEO NEOs increased 33%. The primary driver of the
increase in compensation actually paid in 2021, a significant component of which is compensation paid in equity, was the
positive equity award adjustments driven by the increase in fair value of equity awards granted in both the current and prior
years. Therefore, the increase in net income, representing the Company’s strong performance during the year, did
directionally correlate with the increases in compensation actually paid during the year, as the increase in net income
correlated with the stock price appreciation during the year.
From 2019 year-end to 2020 year-end, net income increased 26%.
The graphic below illustrates the relationship between compensation actually paid to the Company’s net income for
each of the periods described above.

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Company Selected Measure Compensation Actually Paid and Constant Currency Revenue Change
From 2022 year-end to 2023 year-end, constant currency revenue increased 12.2%, the compensation actually paid to
the PEO increased $32.4 million and the average of the compensation actually paid to the Non-PEO NEOs increased $15.4
million. Our constant currency revenue change directly correlated with the increase in the "Non-Equity Incentive Plan
Compensation" component of compensation actually paid to Mr. Hult, as his annual performance bonus was based, in part, on
constant currency revenue growth targets, which achieved the maximum payout performance goals set by the Compensation
Committee for 2023. The number of PRSUs granted during 2023 to both the PEO and Non-PEO NEOs were also positively
impacted by achieving above the target constant currency revenue change goals set for 2023 (which, when combined with the
constant currency Adjusted EBITDA margin performance, resulted in the application of a total 181.3% performance modifier
to the awards). However, the primary driver of the increase in compensation actually paid during 2023 was the positive equity
award adjustments, primarily driven by the current year increase in fair value of equity awards granted in both the current and
prior years, in comparison to a prior year decline, as a result of stock price appreciation during the year and the significant
component of executive compensation paid in equity.
From 2021 year-end to 2022 year-end, constant currency revenue increased 14%, while the compensation actually paid
to the PEO decreased 106%, and the average of the compensation actually paid to the Non-PEO NEOs decreased 103%, as
compared to 2021. Our constant currency revenue change directly correlated with the decline in the "Non-Equity Incentive
Plan Compensation" component of compensation actually paid to Messrs. Olesky and Hult (as one of the Non-PEO NEOs) as
their annual performance bonuses were based, in part, on constant currency revenue growth targets, which did not reach the
maximum payout performance goals set by the Compensation Committee for 2022 where such maximum payout goals were
reached in 2021 and 2020. The number of PRSUs granted during 2022 to both the PEO and Non-PEO NEOs were also
negatively impacted by not reaching the maximum payout performance goals set for 2022 (impacting the performance
modifier applicable for the award). By linking the performance modifier for PRSUs to important metrics of Company
business performance, including constant currency revenue growth, the NEOs’ interests are aligned with those of stockholders
to drive revenue and margin growth. Declines in the compensation actually paid were primarily driven by the decline in fair
value of equity awards granted in both the current and prior years, resulting in negative equity award adjustments, which
equity awards are a significant component of executive compensation and therefore these adjustments have a significant
impact on compensation actually paid.
From 2020 year-end to 2021 year-end, constant currency revenue increased 19.3%, the compensation actually paid to
the PEO increased 67% and the average of the compensation actually paid to the Non-PEO NEOs increased 33%. Our
constant currency revenue change directly correlated with the increase in the "Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation"
component of compensation actually paid to Messrs. Olesky and Hult (as one of the Non-PEO NEOs) as their annual
performance bonuses were based, in part, on constant currency revenue growth targets, which achieved the maximum payout
performance goals set by the Compensation Committee for 2021. The number of PRSUs granted during 2021 to both the PEO
and Non-PEO NEOs were also positively impacted by achieving the maximum payout performance goals set for 2021
(resulting in the application of the maximum performance modifier for the award). However, the primary driver of the change
in compensation actually paid during 2021 was the positive equity award adjustments, primarily driven by the increase in fair
value of equity awards granted in both the current and prior years, as a result of stock price appreciation during the year and
the significant component of executive compensation paid in equity.
From 2019 year-end to 2020 year-end, constant currency revenue increase was 14.5%.
The graphic below illustrates the relationship between compensation actually paid to the Company’s constant currency
revenue change for each of the periods described above.

Total Shareholder Return Vs Peer Group Compensation Actually Paid and Cumulative TSR
From 2022 year-end to 2023 year-end, the Company’s Cumulative TSR increased 41% to $199.77, while the Peer
Group Cumulative TSR increased 16% to $131.91, the compensation actually paid to the PEO increased $32.4 million during
2023 as compared to 2022 and the average of the compensation actually paid to the Non-PEO NEOs increased $15.4 million.
The significant increases in both the compensation actually paid to the PEO and the average of the Non-PEO NEOs, both
going from a negative number to a positive, was primarily driven by the increase in fair value of equity awards granted in
both the current and prior years, compared to declines in the prior year, and is consistent with the increase in the Company’s
Cumulative TSR and the significant component of executive compensation paid in equity.
From 2021 year-end to 2022 year-end, the Company’s Cumulative TSR decreased 35% to $142.08, while the Peer
Group Cumulative TSR decreased 14% to $113.64, the compensation actually paid to the PEO decreased 106% during 2022,
as compared to 2021 and the average of the compensation actually paid to the Non-PEO NEOs decreased 103%. The
significant declines in both the compensation actually paid to the PEO and the average of the Non-PEO NEOs was primarily
driven by the decline in fair value of equity awards granted in both the current and prior years and is consistent with the
decline in the Company’s Cumulative TSR and the significant component of executive compensation paid in equity.
From 2020 year-end to 2021 year-end, the Company’s Cumulative TSR increased 61% to $218.10, while the Peer
Group Cumulative TSR increased 32% to $131.62, the compensation actually paid to the PEO increased 67% during 2021, as
compared to 2020 and the average of the compensation actually paid to the Non-PEO NEOs increased 33%. The significant

From 2019 year-end to 2020 year-end, the Company’s Cumulative TSR increased 36% to $135.50, while the Peer
