Adjustment To PEO Compensation, Footnote Mr. Snow served as the Company's PEO for fiscal 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024. SEC rules require certain adjustments to be made to the amounts reported in the Summary Compensation Table ("SCT") in order to calculate CAP as shown in the table above. The following table details the applicable adjustments to the SCT Total for our PEO that were made to calculate PEO CAP. CAP does not reflect the actual amount of compensation that was or may be earned by or paid to our PEO during the applicable fiscal year. The PEO CAP for fiscal 2021-2023 has been updated from the amounts reported in our 2023 Proxy Statement to correct certain calculations based on our PEO's stock option grant vesting schedule.

Name ASV + Professional Services Growth      
Non-GAAP Measure Description In accordance with SEC rules, we are required to include in the PVP table the "most important" financial performance measure used to link compensation of our NEOs to Company performance during fiscal 2024. We have selected ASV + Professional Services Growth as this required Company Selected Measure ("CSM"). This metric is a key performance measure used for the annual incentive plan ("AIP") for our NEOs. We believe ASV + Professional Services Growth reflects our ability to grow recurring revenues and generate positive cash flow and is a key indicator of the successful execution of our business strategy. ASV + Professional Services Growth is indicative of growth in adjusted cumulative revenues, which is the performance measure for 50% of the PSUs granted to our PEO and non-PEO NEOs. "ASV" at any point in time represents our forward-looking revenues for the next 12 months from all subscription services currently being supplied to clients, excluding revenues from Professional Services. "Professional Services" are revenues derived from project-based consulting and implementation, annualized over the past 12 months. "ASV + Professional Services Growth" reflects the year-over-year increase in ASV + Professional Services.
