The dollar amounts do not reflect the actual average amount of compensation earned by or paid to the NEOs as a group (excluding our Chief Executive Officers) during the applicable year and were not considered by the Compensation Committee at the time it made decisions with respect to the compensation of the NEOs. In accordance with the requirements of Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the following adjustments were made to average total compensation for the NEOs as a group (excluding our Chief Executive Officers) for each fiscal year to determine the compensation actually paid, using the same methodology described above in Note 2:
Year |  | Average Reported Summary Compensation Table Total for Non-PEO NEOs ($) |  |  | Average Reported Value of Equity Awards ($) |  |  | Average Equity Award Adjustments ($) (a) |  |  | Average Compensation Actually Paid to Non-PEO NEOs ($) |

(a) | The amounts deducted or added in calculating the total average equity award adjustments are as follows:
|  | Year-end Fair Value of Unvested Equity Awards Granted in the Year ($) |  |  | Year-Over- Year Change in Fair Value of Outstanding and Unvested Equity Awards ($) |  |  | Fair Value as of Vesting Date of Equity Awards Granted and Vested in the Year |  |  | Year- Over- Year Change in Fair Value of Equity Awards Granted in Prior Years that Vested in the Year ($) |  |  | Fair Value at the End of the Prior Year of Equity Awards that Failed to Meet Vesting Conditions in the Year ($) |  |  | Value of Dividends or Other Earnings Paid on Stock or Option Awards not Otherwise Reflected in Fair Value or Total Compensation ($) |  |  | Total Equity Award Adjustments ($) |

(5) | Cumulative TSR is calculated by dividing the sum of the cumulative amount of dividends for the measurement period, assuming dividend reinvestment, and the difference between the Company’s share price at the end and the beginning of the measurement period by the Company’s share price at the beginning of the measurement period.
(6) | Represents the weighted peer group TSR, weighted according to the respective companies’ stock market capitalization at the beginning of each period for which a return is indicated. The peer group used for this purpose is the following published industry index: the S&P 500 Consumer Discretionary Distribution & Retail Index over the same period.
(7) | The dollar amounts reported represent the amount of net income reflected in the Company’s audited financial statements for the applicable year.
(8) | “Adjusted Operating Income” is measured as reported Operating Income adjusted for items that are not the result of our normal operations. For fiscal year 2023, the Compensation Committee approved add backs for the impact of separation costs associated with our Chief Executive Officer departure, less savings associated with our Interim CEO’s choosing to decline to receive compensation for his services; the write-off of certain VAT receivables following unfavorable court rulings; $2.1 million of Aeropost-related write-offs in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 and $660,000 of a receivable written-off in connection with the settlement in the third quarter of fiscal year 2023 of a claim for indemnification from the buyer of the Aeropost business; a $5.1 million adjustment representing 50% of impairment and closure costs and other unbudgeted losses associated with our Trinidad sustainable packaging plant; and a $9.2 million charge to settle minimum tax litigation in one of our markets. While the Company uses various financial and non-financial performance measures for the purpose of evaluating performance for the Company’s compensation programs, the Company has determined that Adjusted Operating Income is the financial performance measure that, in the Company’s and the Compensation Committee’s assessment, represents the most important performance measure (that is not otherwise required to be disclosed in the table) used by the Company to link compensation actually paid to the Company’s NEOs, for the most recently completed fiscal year, to Company performance. Reconciliation and further information for Adjusted Operating Income can be found on Appendix A.

McCleary, John D. Hildebrandt, Francisco Velasco, Ana Luisa Bianchi and Nicolas Maslowski; (ii) for 2022, Mr. McCleary, Mr. Hildebrandt, Mr. Velasco, Juan Ignacio Biehl and William J.
