Specifically, as reported in this table, Adjusted EPS represents our adjusted diluted net income per share attributable to DaVita Inc. from continuing operations, as adjusted under the pre-established terms of the applicable PSU awards for each reporting year, which may include, among other things, impacts of force majeure events, adjustments to remain consistent with reporting methodology in place at the time that the grant was designed and made, COVID-19 normalization adjustment, and ballot initiatives, in each case, net of any associated taxes. For additional information on how the Compensation Committee designed our compensation programs using certain adjustments, see "What We Pay and Why - Long-Term Incentive Program for 2025." The amount reported for each reporting year in this table represents the Adjusted EPS calculated in accordance with the PSU awards granted during the applicable reporting year and may not align with similar measures under other compensation plan agreements or be comparable to other years presented in this table. Please see Annex A for a presentation of the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure and a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure |  |  |  |

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Company Selected Measure | Relationship Between Pay and Performance We believe the compensation actually paid, as calculated in accordance with SEC disclosure rules, in each of the years reported above and over the five-year cumulative period reflect the Compensation Committee’s emphasis on “pay-for-performance” as the compensation actually paid fluctuated year-over-year, primarily due to our stock performance and our varying levels of achievement against pre-established performance goals under our STI program and LTI program, including our Adjusted EPS performance. The CD&A describes in greater detail the Compensation Committee's emphasis on "pay-for-performance" and how our executive compensation program is designed to link executive compensation with the achievement of our financial and strategic objectives as well as stockholder value creation. Because of the weighting of our executive compensation program towards long-term incentives through grants of some combination of PSUs, SSARs and RSUs, the compensation actually paid is most significantly impacted by changes in our stock price over the vesting period of those awards. The following graph illustrates the relationship between pay and performance, as calculated per the SEC disclosure rules. |  |  |  |
Tabular List, Table | Tabular List of Financial Performance Measures The following is a list of financial performance measures, which in the Company’s assessment represent the most important financial performance measures used by the Company to link compensation actually paid to the NEOs for 2025. In addition to these financial metrics, the Company's executive compensation program is impacted by our performance with respect to operational and sustainability-related goals and the achievement by the executive officers of customized objectives under the STI Program. Please see the CD&A for further information regarding the following financial performance measures as well as the operational and sustainability and customized objectives used in the STI Program.
