Pay vs Performance Disclosure |  |  |
Pay vs Performance Disclosure, Table | Pay Versus Performance Commission rules adopted in 2022 pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act require most companies with publicly traded stock in the United States to describe the relationship between compensation actually paid (“CAP”) to their named executive officers, as calculated in accordance with the Commission’s rules, and the Company’s performance represented by total stockholder return (“TSR”), net income and a Company-selected financial performance measure. To determine the executive compensation that is “actually paid” for the principal executive officer (the “PEO”) and non-PEO named executive officers (“non-PEO NEOs”) in a given year, companies are required to make certain adjustments to the total executive compensation reported in the summary compensation table (“SCT”) for pension and equity awards that are calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For the pension adjustment, the aggregate change in the pension value as reflected in the SCT is deducted and the service cost and prior service cost for the year is included. For equity awards, the grant date value as reported in the SCT is subtracted and a new value is added, which is calculated as follows: the year-end fair value of awards granted in the current fiscal year plus or minus the annual change in fair value as of the year-end for any unvested awards or as of vesting for awards vested in the current year. We disclose below pay versus performance information, including the relationship between CAP, as calculated in accordance with the Commission’s rules, and Company performance.

(1) | The PEO for fiscal 2023, fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021 was Mr. Sullivan, the Chief Executive Officer. In fiscal 2023, the non-PEO NEOs were Messrs. Gordon, Moore and Kinser and Ms. Kastner. In fiscal 2022, the non-PEO NEOs were Messrs. Gordon, Moore, Kinser and Michael Sullivan and Ms. Kastner. In fiscal 2021, the non-PEO NEOs were Messrs. Gordon, Moore and Michael Sullivan and Ms. Kastner.
(2) | The following amounts were deducted from/added to Summary Compensation Table: total compensation in accordance with the Commission-mandated adjustments to calculate CAP to the Company’s PEO and average CAP to the Company’s non-PEO NEOs. The fair value of equity awards was determined using methodologies and assumptions developed in a manner substantively consistent with those used to determine the grant date fair value of such awards.

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Company Selected Measure | The chart below compares the PEO’s and the other non-PEO NEOs’ CAP to the Company’s selected measure, Adjusted EBIT Margin % and indicates that there is a strong relationship between EBIT Margin % and CAP. This is primarily due to the Company’s use of equity incentives, the value of which is tied directly to stock price and the Company’s financial performance. |  |
Total Shareholder Return Vs Peer Group | As shown in the chart below, the PEO’s and the Non-PEO NEOs’ CAP amounts are aligned with the Company’s TSR for the periods presented which reflects the Company’s weighting toward equity incentives, which are tied directly to stock price and the Company’s financial performance. |  |
