The Peer Group TSR set forth in the table below utilizes the Dow Jones US Electrical Components & Equipment 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 fiscal year ended March 31, 2024. The comparison assumes $100 was invested for the period starting March 31, 2020, through the end of the listed fiscal year in the Company and in the Dow Jones US Electrical Components & Equipment Index, respectively. Historical stock performance is not necessarily indicative of future stock performance.

We determined Adjusted Operating Earnings to be the most important financial performance measure used to link Company performance to Compensation Actually Paid to our PEO and
Non-PEO
NEOs in fiscal year 2024. Adjusted Operating Earnings is a
non-GAAP
measure that adjusts Operating Earnings for charges that the Company incurs as a result of restructuring activities, impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles and other assets, acquisition activities and those charges and credits that are not directly related to operating unit performance. Please see “Fiscal Year 2024 MIP Targets and Payout” on page 41 for a description of the adjustments to operating earnings for fiscal year 2024, please see “Fiscal Year 2023 MIP Targets and Payout” on page 44 of our 2023 Proxy Statement, “Fiscal Year 2022 MIP Targets and Payout” on page 33 of our 2022 Proxy Statement, and “Fiscal Year 2021 MIP Targets and Payout” on page 30 of our 2021 Proxy Statement for a description of the adjustments to operating earnings for each fiscal year. This performance measure may not have been the most important financial performance measure for prior fiscal years and we may determine a different financial performance measure to be the most important financial performance measure in future years.

Non-GAAP Measure Description We determined Adjusted Operating Earnings to be the most important financial performance measure used to link Company performance to Compensation Actually Paid to our PEO and
Non-PEO
NEOs in fiscal year 2024. Adjusted Operating Earnings is a
non-GAAP
measure that adjusts Operating Earnings for charges that the Company incurs as a result of restructuring activities, impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles and other assets, acquisition activities and those charges and credits that are not directly related to operating unit performance. Please see “Fiscal Year 2024 MIP Targets and Payout” on page 41 for a description of the adjustments to operating earnings for fiscal year 2024, please see “Fiscal Year 2023 MIP Targets and Payout” on page 44 of our 2023 Proxy Statement, “Fiscal Year 2022 MIP Targets and Payout” on page 33 of our 2022 Proxy Statement, and “Fiscal Year 2021 MIP Targets and Payout” on page 30 of our 2021 Proxy Statement for a description of the adjustments to operating earnings for each fiscal year. This performance measure may not have been the most important financial performance measure for prior fiscal years and we may determine a different financial performance measure to be the most important financial performance measure in future years.
