1 | Bryan H. Sayler has served as the Company’s PEO (Principal Executive Officer) since the second quarter of fiscal 2023.
2 | Victor L. Richey served as the Company’s PEO during fiscal 2021, fiscal 2022 and the first quarter of fiscal 2023.
3 | The Company’s non-PEO executive officers for fiscal 2022 through 2025 were Christopher L. Tucker, Senior VP & CFO, and David M. Schatz, Senior VP, General Counsel & Secretary. In fiscal 2021, Mr. Tucker succeeded Gary E. Muenster as an executive officer, and Mr. Schatz succeeded Alyson S. Barclay as an executive officer. Accordingly, there were two persons serving as non-PEO executive officers at all times during these years.
4 | The following amounts were deducted from or added to Summary Compensation Table total compensation in accordance with the SEC-mandated adjustments to calculate Compensation Actually Paid to our principal executive officer (PEO) and the average Compensation Actually Paid to our non-PEO executive officers. 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. In calculating the year-end fair values of equity awards, the assumptions made did not differ materially from the assumptions made in calculating the grant date fair values of such awards.
5 | The Peer Group TSR set forth in this table utilizes the S&P SmallCap 600 Industrials Index, which we also utilize in the stock performance graph required by Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K included in our Annual Report for the year ended September 30, 2025. The comparison assumes $100 was invested for the period starting September 30, 2021 through the last day of the subsequent fiscal years, in the Company and in the S&P SmallCap 600 Industrials Index, respectively. Historical stock performance is not necessarily indicative of future stock performance.
6 | We determined EPS to be the most important financial performance measure used to link Company performance to Compensation Actually Paid to our PEO and the other executive officers in 2025. This performance measure may not have been the most important financial performance measure for one or more of fiscal years 2021 through 2024 and we may determine a different financial performance measure to be the most important financial performance measure in future years.
