(1) Ms. Leahy has served as the Principal Executive Officer (“PEO”) for the entirety of 2022, 2021 and 2020 and our other Named Executive Officers for the applicable years were as follows:
  2022: Albert J. Miralles; Sona Chawla; Christina M. Corley; and Frederick J. Kulevich.
  2021: Albert J. Miralles; Sona Chawla; Christina M. Corley; Elizabeth H. Connelly; and Collin B. Kebo.
  2020: Collin B. Kebo; Sona Chawla; Christina M. Corley; Douglas E. Eckrote; Mark C. Chong; and Elizabeth H. Connelly
(2) Amounts reported in this column represent (i) the total compensation reported in the SCT for the applicable year in the case of Ms. Leahy and (ii) the average of the total compensation reported in the SCT for the applicable year for our other Named Executive Officers reported for the applicable year other than Ms. Leahy.
(3) To calculate CAP, adjustments were made to the amounts reported in the SCT for the applicable year. The primary difference between the calculation of SCT total compensation and CAP relates to the calculation of stock and option awards:

 

       
  SCT CALCULATION IS BASED ON:   COMPANY CAP CALCULATION IS BASED ON:
  Grant date fair value of stock and option awards granted during the year   Year over year change in the fair value of stock and option awards that are unvested as of the end of the year, or vested or were forfeited during the year

 

A reconciliation of the adjustments for Ms. Leahy and for the average of the other Named Executive Officers is set forth in the table below.

(4) Pursuant to rules of the SEC, the comparison assumes $100 was invested on December 31, 2019. Historic stock price performance is not necessarily indicative of future stock price performance.
(5) The TSR Peer Group consists of S&P 500 Information Technology Index.
(6) The Company determined that adjusted EPS is the most important financial performance measure used to link CAP to Company performance given it impacts the vesting of 50% of the PSUs and also encompasses Non-GAAP operating income performance, the sole financial measure under our SMIP. In addition, we believe that over the long-term, our earnings per share is the most significant driver of CDW’s stock price performance, which impacts the value of equity awards granted to the Named Executive Officers, the largest component of our executive compensation program. Adjusted EPS is defined as non-GAAP net income plus/minus extraordinary, non-recurring items divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding on a diluted basis. For purposes of determining adjusted EPS, non-GAAP net income is defined as net income, adjusted for the items set forth in the Company’s earnings releases which may include, among other items, amortization of intangibles, non-cash equity-based compensation and associated taxes, losses or gains from the extinguishment of debt and acquisition and integration expenses. The amount reported for each reporting year in this table represents the adjusted EPS, as calculated for the first year of the PSU performance cycle that commenced in the applicable reporting year.

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Total Shareholder Return [Text Block]      

2. CAP Versus TSR

 

As shown in the chart below, the PEO’s and other Named Executive Officers’ CAP amounts align with the Company’s TSR over the three-year period reported in the chart. This is due primarily to the Company’s use of long-term incentives, particularly a significant weighting in stock options, the value of which are tied directly to stock price.

 

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Net Income [Text Block]      

4. CAP Versus Net Income

 

The chart below demonstrates the relationship between CAP amounts for our PEO and our other Named Executive Officers and our net income. Variations in the CAP amounts for our PEO and other Named Executives Officers are due in large part to the significant emphasis the Company places on long-term incentives, the value of which fluctuates most significantly based on the vesting level of our PSU awards and changes in stock price over time.

 

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Company Selected Measure [Text Block]      

3. CAP Versus Adjusted EPS (Company Selected Measure)

 

The chart below demonstrates the relationship between CAP amounts for our PEO and our other Named Executive Officers and our adjusted EPS for the applicable fiscal year. Variations in the CAP amounts for our PEO and other Named Executives Officers are due in large part to the significant emphasis the Company places on long-term incentives, the value of which fluctuates most significantly based on the vesting level of our PSU awards and changes in stock price over time. Adjusted EPS is viewed as the most important financial measure to link CAP and Company performance given it impacts the vesting of 50% of the PSUs and it also encompasses Non-GAAP operating income performance, the sole financial measure under our SMIP. In addition, we believe that over the long-term, our earnings per share is the most significant driver of CDW’s stock price performance, which impacts the value of equity awards granted to the PEO and other Named Executive Officers, the largest component of our executive compensation program.

 

Total Shareholder Return Vs Peer Group [Text Block]      

1. TSR: Company versus Peer Group

 

As shown in the chart below, the Company’s 3-year cumulative TSR for the period of 2020-2022 is less than the 3-year cumulative TSR for companies included in our peer group TSR. However, the Company’s TSR performance for the 5-year TSR (2018-2022) outperformed the peers, which is also illustrated in our 2022 10-K performance graph.

 

Tabular List [Table Text Block]

Performance Measures Used to Link Company Performance and CAP to the Named Executive Officers

 

The following is a list of financial performance measures, which in our assessment represent the most important measures used by the Company to link CAP for the Named Executive Officers in 2022. Please see the CD&A for a further description of these metrics, including how they are calculated for incentive purposes, and how they are used in the Company’s executive compensation program, including the SMIP and 2022 long-term incentive program.

[3] (4)Pursuant to rules of the SEC, the comparison assumes $100 was invested on December 31, 2019. Historic stock price performance is not necessarily indicative of future stock price performance.
[4] (5)The TSR Peer Group consists of S&P 500 Information Technology Index.
[5] (6)The Company determined that adjusted EPS is the most important financial performance measure used to link CAP to Company performance given it impacts the vesting of 50% of the PSUs and also encompasses Non-GAAP operating income performance, the sole financial measure under our SMIP. In addition, we believe that over the long-term, our earnings per share is the most significant driver of CDW’s stock price performance, which impacts the value of equity awards granted to the Named Executive Officers, the largest component of our executive compensation program. Adjusted EPS is defined as non-GAAP net income plus/minus extraordinary, non-recurring items divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding on a diluted basis. For purposes of determining adjusted EPS, non-GAAP net income is defined as net income, adjusted for the items set forth in the Company’s earnings releases which may include, among other items, amortization of intangibles, non-cash equity-based compensation and associated taxes, losses or gains from the extinguishment of debt and acquisition and integration expenses. The amount reported for each reporting year in this table represents the adjusted EPS, as calculated for the first year of the PSU performance cycle that commenced in the applicable reporting year.
