Peer Group Issuers, Footnote 4.The Peer Group TSR set forth in this table utilizes the S&P 500 Information Technology
Index, which we also utilize in the stock performance graph required by Item 201(e) of
Regulation S-K included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2025. The comparison assumes $100 was invested for the period starting
September 30, 2020, through the end of the listed fiscal year in the Company and in the
S&P 500 Information Technology Index, respectively. Historical stock price performance is
not necessarily indicative of future stock price performance.
