In accordance with SEC rules, the aggregate grant date fair value of the PRSUs is calculated based on the probable outcome of the performance conditions as of the grant date, which, for the PRSUs reflected in the summary compensation table for each of the fiscal years 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023, was target level performance. In accordance with SEC rules, the change in fair value of the PRSUs as of the end of each of the fiscal years 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 is based upon the probable outcome of the performance conditions as of the last day of the applicable fiscal year. The amounts included in the columns in footnotes 3 and 4 below identified as “Year-End Fair Value of Equity Awards Granted During Applicable Year,” “Change in Fair Value as of Year-End of Any Prior Year Awards that Remain Unvested as of Year-End,” and “Change in Fair Value as of the Vesting Date of Any Prior Year Awards that Vested During Applicable Year,” are based on the probable outcome, as of the last day of the applicable fiscal year, of the PRSU performance conditions, reflecting the actual outcome of the performance conditions of the applicable PRSU awards to date as of the last day of such fiscal year.

Tabular List, Table | Most Important Financial Performance Measures Our compensation and management development committee selects performance metrics for our incentive compensation programs that align executive interests with those of our shareholders. See “Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Compensation Discussion and Analysis: In Detail — Key Elements of NEO Compensation Program” on page 59 for the definition of these metrics and further explanation of how our compensation metrics in our annual incentive plan and long-term incentive plan tie to our business strategy. Below in an unranked order are the most important financial performance measures used for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
​ | ​ | Metric | ​ | ​ | ​ | Alignment | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | Adjusted EBITDA | ​ | ​ | ​ | Adjusted EBITDA is a cornerstone of our annual incentive program. It is the primary metric by which we measure our profitability and by which investors measure our performance. | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | Return on Net Assets (RONA) | ​ | ​ | ​ | Our PRSU awards are subject to three-year vesting criteria based on RONA over three one-year periods. RONA is correlated with long-term total shareholder return and is viewed as an indicator of the results of management’s operating decisions. | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | Total Shareholder Return (TSR) | ​ | ​ | ​ | Our PRSU awards have a modifier pursuant to which the number of shares earned based on RONA may be increased or decreased by up to 20% based on our three-year TSR as compared to threshold, target and maximum levels of performance. Use of TSR as a performance measure establishes a clear linkage between executive incentives and shareholder value creation. | ​ | ​
