Peer Group Issuers, Footnote Company TSR and Peer Group TSR reflected in these columns for each applicable fiscal year are calculated based on a fixed investment of $100 at the applicable measurement point on the same cumulative basis as is used in Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K. Peer Group TSR for each applicable fiscal year uses the Dow Jones U.S. Building Materials & Fixtures Index as disclosed in our annual report on Form 10K for fiscal year ended 2024 pursuant to Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K. Historical stock performance is not necessarily indicative of future stock performance.      
Adjustment To PEO Compensation, Footnote In accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the fair values of unvested and outstanding equity awards were remeasured as of the end of each fiscal year, and as of each vesting date, during the years displayed in the tables below. For PRSUs with an rTSR metric, or Market Units, the fair values as of each measurement date (prior to the end of the performance period) were determined using a Monte Carlo simulation pricing model, with assumptions and methodologies that are generally consistent with those used to estimate fair value at grant under GAAP. The range of estimates used in the Monte Carlo calculations are as follows: (i) for 2024, volatility between 28.3% and 29.2% and risk-free rate between 3.6% and 3.9%; (ii) for 2023, volatility between 30.0% and 30.8% and risk-free rate between 4.9% and 5.3%; (iii) for 2022, volatility between 29.4% and 31.3% and risk-free rate between 4.0% and 4.1%; and (iv) for 2021, volatility between 27.3% and 41.3% and risk-free rate between 0.1% and 0.3%. For PRSUs with a Return on Net Assets metric, fair values reflect the probable outcome of the performance vesting conditions as of each measurement date. For a discussion of the assumptions made in the valuation at grant, see Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2024. For each fiscal year reflected, the “compensation actually paid” to the PEOs and the average “compensation actually paid” to the non-PEO NEOs reflect the following adjustments made to the total compensation amounts reported in the Summary Compensation Table for each applicable fiscal year, computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K:

Non-GAAP Measure Description While we use numerous financial and non-financial performance measures to evaluate performance under our compensation programs, Adjusted EBITDA is the financial performance measure that, in the Company’s assessment, represents the most important performance measure (that is not otherwise required to be disclosed in the table) used to link compensation actually paid to NEOs, for the most recently completed fiscal year, to Company performance.
