(1) | The dollar amounts reported in column (b) are the amounts of total compensation reported for our Principal Executive Officer(s) for each corresponding year in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table.
(2) | In 2021, the company had two Principal Executive Officers (PEO). Olivier Filliol (PEO – 2, in the table above) was the PEO until April 1, 2021, and during all prior periods shown. Patrick Kaltenbach (PEO – 1, in the table above) is the PEO since April 1, 2021.
(3) | The dollar amounts reported in column (c) represent the “Compensation Actually Paid” to the applicable PEO for the corresponding year. Compensation Actually Paid is calculated pursuant to the requirements of Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, adjusting Summary Compensation Table totals to reflect equity award valuation changes at certain points over time. It does not reflect dollar amounts actually paid to our PEOs
(4) | The dollar amounts reported in column (d) represent the average of the amounts reported for the company’s named executive officers (NEOs) as a group (excluding the PEOs) in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table in each applicable year. The non-PEO NEOs were Shawn P. Vadala, Marc de La Guéronnière, and Gerhard Keller for all periods shown above. For 2020 and 2021, Peter Aggersbjerg, the Head of Divisions during those periods, was also an NEO. For 2022, 2023, and 2024 Richard Wong is also an NEO.
(5) | The dollar amounts reported in column (e) represent the average amount of “Compensation Actually Paid” to the NEOs as a group (excluding the PEOs) for the corresponding year. Compensation Actually Paid is calculated pursuant to the requirements of Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, adjusting Summary Compensation table totals to reflect equity award valuation changes at certain points over time. It does not reflect dollar amounts actually paid to our NEOs. The NEOs included for purposes of these calculations are described in footnote 4
(6) | Represents the weighted peer group TSR, weighted according to the respective companies’ stock market capitalization at the beginning of each period for which a return is indicated. The peer group used for this purpose is the following published industry index: SIC Code 3826 Index – Laboratory Analytical Instruments.
(7) | The dollar amounts reported represent the amount of net income reflected in the company’s audited financial statements for the applicable year.
(8) | While the company uses numerous financial and non-financial performance measures for the purpose of evaluating performance for the company’s compensation programs, the company has determined that non-GAAP earnings per share is the financial performance measure that, in the company’s assessment, represents the most important performance measure (that is not otherwise required to be disclosed in the table) used by the company to link compensation actually paid to the company’s NEOs (including the PEOs), for the most recently completed fiscal year, to company performance.
