(3) | For each of fiscal 2023, 2022 and 2021, total shareholder return for the Company and the peer group was calculated as the yearly percentage change in cumulative total shareholder return based on a deemed fixed investment of $100 at market close on October 31, 2020. The yearly percentage change in cumulative total shareholder return was measured as the quotient of (a) the sum of (i) the cumulative amount of dividends for the period from October 31, 2020 through and including the last day of the covered fiscal year (the “Measurement Period”), assuming dividend reinvestment, plus (ii) the difference between stock price per share at the end and the beginning of the Measurement Period, divided by (b) stock price per share at the beginning of the Measurement Period. Each of these yearly percentage changes was then applied to a deemed fixed investment of $100 at the beginning of the Measurement Period to produce the year-end values of such investment as of the end of fiscal 2023, 2022 and 2021, as applicable. For purposes of this pay versus performance disclosure, our peer group is the S&P MidCap 400 Ind. Machinery Index (the “Peer Group”). Because fiscal years are presented in the table in reverse chronological order (from top to bottom), the table should be read from bottom to top for purposes of understanding cumulative returns over time.
(4) | Net income is calculated in accordance with GAAP.
(5) | The Company-selected measure of Base Business Operating Profit Growth is calculated set forth as described in “Executive Compensation Discussion and Analysis” above.
