Year (1)		Summary Compensation Table Total for PEO (2)				Compensation Actually Paid to PEO (3)				Average Summary Compensation Table Total for Non-PEO Named Executive Officers (2)				Average Compensation Actually Paid to Non-PEO Named Executive Officers (3)				Whirlpool TSR				Index TSR (5)				GAAP Net Income ($M)				Ongoing EBIT ($M) (6)				Free Cash Flow ($M) (6)

(1)  Mr. Bitzer served as the Principal Executive Officer (PEO) for the entirety of 2022, 2021 and 2020 and the Company’s other NEOs for the applicable years were as follows:

2022: Messrs. Peters, Liotine, Morel, and Brega.

2021: Messrs. Peters, Liotine, Morel, and Brega.

2020: Messrs. Peters, Liotine, Morel, and Samuel Wu.

(2)  Amounts reported in this column represent (i) the total compensation reported in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable year for Mr. Bitzer and (ii) the average of the total compensation reported in the Summary Compensation Table for the NEOs listed in footnote 1 for each applicable year.

(3)  To calculate compensation actually paid, adjustments were made to the amounts reported in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable year. A reconciliation of the adjustments for Mr. Bitzer and for the average of the other NEOs is set forth following the footnotes to this table.

(4)  Pursuant to rules of the SEC, the comparison assumes $100 was invested on December 31, 2019 in our common stock. Historical stock price performance is not necessarily indicative of future stock price performance.

(5)  Index TSR reflects the S&P 500 Household Durables Index.

(6)  As noted in the “CD&A,” Ongoing EBIT and Free Cash Flow represent the two, equally weighted, performance goals for determining the Company Performance Factor under the 2022 short-term incentive program. Given their use in the 2022 short-term incentive program, the Committee selected Ongoing EBIT and Free Cash Flow as the Company Selected Measures. Please see Annex B for reconciliation to GAAP measures.
