Pay Versus Performance

 

The following table presents information as required under Item 402(v) of SEC Regulation S-K regarding the relationship for the three most recently completed fiscal years between the compensation of our NEOs – as reported in the Summary Compensation Table and adjusted to reflect “compensation actually paid” (“CAP”) as defined under SEC rules – and our performance relative to the identified metrics. Our compensation philosophy and how we align executive compensation with our performance is described under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis.” The CAP amounts disclosed do not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned, realized, or received by our NEOs during the applicable fiscal year. The Compensation Committee did not consider the information provided in this section in making its compensation decisions for the years shown.

(b) Mr. Mezger served as our PEO for each fiscal year shown.  Our other NEOs were as follows: Messrs. Kaminski, McGibney, Praw and Woram for the 2023 and 2022 fiscal years; and Messrs. Kaminski, McGibney and Praw, and Matthew W. Mandino for the 2021 fiscal year.

(c) The amounts reported reflect the cumulative total shareholder return (“TSR”) on our common stock for each of the last three fiscal years ended November 30, 2023, assuming an investment of $100 on November 30, 2020, and the reinvestment of dividends.

(d) The peer group used in this disclosure is the Dow Jones US Home Construction Index, which is the same index we used in the Stock Performance Graph in our Annual Report. The amounts reported reflect the cumulative TSR of the Dow Jones US Home Construction Index for each of the last three fiscal years ended November 30, 2023, assuming an investment of $100 on November 30, 2020, and the reinvestment of dividends.

(e) Represents net income reported in our audited consolidated financial statements for each of the applicable fiscal years.
(f) Annex 2 to this Proxy Statement contains a reconciliation of our diluted earnings per share calculated in accordance with GAAP to the non-GAAP financial measure of AEPS. We included AEPS as our company-selected financial measure as this metric has the largest weighting in determining our NEO’s long-term incentive compensation, a significant component of their overall compensation.

Adjustment to Compensation Amount
[1] To calculate CAP per SEC rules, adjustments were made to the amounts reported in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable fiscal year. A reconciliation of the adjustments for the PEO and for the average of the other NEOs is set forth below. 
[2] Mr. Mezger served as our PEO for each fiscal year shown.  Our other NEOs were as follows: Messrs. Kaminski, McGibney, Praw and Woram for the 2023 and 2022 fiscal years; and Messrs. Kaminski, McGibney and Praw, and Matthew W. Mandino for the 2021 fiscal year.
[3] The amounts reported reflect the cumulative total shareholder return (“TSR”) on our common stock for each of the last three fiscal years ended November 30, 2023, assuming an investment of $100 on November 30, 2020, and the reinvestment of dividends.
[4] The peer group used in this disclosure is the Dow Jones US Home Construction Index, which is the same index we used in the Stock Performance Graph in our Annual Report. The amounts reported reflect the cumulative TSR of the Dow Jones US Home Construction Index for each of the last three fiscal years ended November 30, 2023, assuming an investment of $100 on November 30, 2020, and the reinvestment of dividends.
[5] Represents net income reported in our audited consolidated financial statements for each of the applicable fiscal years.
[6] Annex 2 to this Proxy Statement contains a reconciliation of our diluted earnings per share calculated in accordance with GAAP to the non-GAAP financial measure of AEPS. We included AEPS as our company-selected financial measure as this metric has the largest weighting in determining our NEO’s long-term incentive compensation, a significant component of their overall compensation.
[7] Represents the aggregate fair value as of the indicated fiscal year-end of outstanding and unvested stock awards granted during such fiscal year, calculated using the same methodology used for financial statement reporting purposes.
[8] Represents the aggregate change in fair value during the indicated fiscal year of the outstanding and unvested stock awards and option awards held, as of the last day of the indicated fiscal year, calculated using the same methodology used for financial statement reporting purposes. For awards subject to performance-based vesting conditions, the fair value is based on the probable outcome of such performance-based vesting conditions as of the last day of the fiscal year.
[9] Represents the aggregate change in fair value, measured from the prior fiscal year-end to the vesting date, of each stock award and option award, that was granted in a prior fiscal year and which vested during the indicated fiscal year, calculated using the same methodology used for financial statement reporting purposes.
