Pay vs Performance Disclosure |  |  |  |
Pay vs Performance Disclosure, Table | Pay Versus Performance We are required by SEC rules to disclose information regarding the relationship between compensation actually paid to Howard W. Lutnick, our principal executive officer (“PEO”) and named executive officers (“NEOs”) other than the PEO (the “non-PEO NEOs”) and the financial performance of the Company. The following table sets forth additional compensation information for Howard W. Lutnick, our CEO, who serves as PEO, and the non-PEO NEOs, along with total stockholder return (“TSR”), net income, and the “Company Selected Measure,” which we have selected as Total Revenues, each for fiscal years 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023. The amounts set forth below under the headings “Compensation Actually Paid to PEO” and “Average Compensation Actually Paid to Non-PEO NEOs” have been calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. Footnote 5 below sets forth the adjustments from the Total Compensation for the PEO and Average Total Compensation for the non-PEO NEOs reported in the Summary Compensation Table to arrive at the values presented for compensation actually paid for each of the fiscal years shown.

(1) | The PEO was Mr. Lutnick during all periods presented.
(2) | The non-PEO NEOs in fiscal year 2023 consisted of Messrs. Merkel, Winde att, and Hauf. The non-PEO NEOs in fiscal year 2022 consisted of Messrs. Merkel, Windeatt, Hauf and Bisgay. Mr. Bisgay served as Chief Financial Officer of the Company until June 6, 2022, and Mr. Hauf began serving as Chief Financial Officer on that date. When calculating the average compensation for the non-PEO NEOs in fiscal year 2022, each of Messrs. Bisgay and Hauf are included in the denominator of such calculation. The non-PEO NEOs in fiscal year 2021 consisted of Messrs. Merkel, Windeatt, and Bisgay, who each served for the entirety of the year. The non-PEO NEOs in fiscal year 2020 consisted of Messrs. Merkel, Windeatt, Bisgay, and Lynn. Mr. Lynn served as President of the Company until October 1, 2020, when he became Vice Chairman of the Company and no longer served as an executive officer. Accordingly, when calculating the average compensation for the non-PEO NEOs in fiscal year 2020, Mr. Lynn’s compensation for the entire year is included, as he continued his service to the Company after ceasing to be an executive officer. When calculating Mr. Windeatt’s portion of the average compensation for the non-PEO NEOs for each fiscal year, his portion was calculated using the applicable exchange rate as set forth in the notes to the Summary Compensation Table.
(3) | The peer group consists of Compagnie Financière Tradition SA and TP ICAP plc. The returns of the peer group companies have been weighted according to their U.S. dollar stock market capitalization for purposes of arriving at a peer group average. TSR is calculated as the cumulative total stockholder return, on a gross dividend reinvestment basis, of $100 invested in shares of each of the Company and the peer group on December 31, 2019.
(4) | The Company selected Total Revenues to be the most important financial performance measure that is not otherwise required to be disclosed in the table above used by the Company to link compensation actually paid to its NEOs for the most recently completed fiscal year to its performance. While Total Revenues was chosen for this table, our executive compensation programs use a balanced portfolio of measures to drive short and long-term objectives aligned with our strategy and shareholder interests as further described in our Compensation Discussion and Analysis above.
(5) | For each year, “Compensation Actually Paid to PEO” in column (c) and “Average Compensation Actually Paid to Non-PEO NEOs” in column (e) reflect the following adjustments from Total Compensation amounts reported in the Summary Compensation Table (all amounts are averages for the non-PEO NEOs). As described in the footnotes to the Summary Compensation Table, these adjustments do not include reflect awards that were the subject of dollar-denominated awards under the Incentive Plan included in column (g) of the Summary Compensation Table at full notional value and not subsequently reportable as “Equity Awards.”
