Disclosure Pay vs Performance Table

Pay vs Performance [Table Text Block]

PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE

As required by Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information regarding the relationship between executive compensation and our financial performance for each of the last three completed calendar years. In determining the “compensation actually paid” to our NEOs, we are required to make various adjustments to amounts that have been reported in the Summary Compensation Table in previous years, as the SEC’s valuation methods for this section differ from those required in the Summary Compensation Table.

Pay Versus Performance Table

The table below summarizes compensation values both previously reported in our Summary Compensation Table, as well as the adjusted values required in this section for fiscal years 2022, 2023 and 2024. Note that for our NEOs other than our principal executive officer (the “PEO”), compensation is reported as an average.

Relationships between Compensation Actually Paid and Performance Measures

The Company enthusiastically embraces a pay-for performance philosophy. Over the last several years, the Company has not achieved the performance goals across our key metrics and as such the pay for the performance has been below expectations but underscores the effectiveness of our compensation program; however, with the recent change in management we are beginning to see true alignment between shareholder returns and executive compensation. For 2024, our shareholders’ value increased by approximately 20% of the value on their shareholder return and accordingly, the executive compensation actually paid for the PEO & non-PEO NEOs was decreased by approximately 40% and 16%, respectively. For 2024, the executive compensation actually paid for the PEO & the non-PEO NEOs as a percentage of net income was 11% and 7%, respectively. For 2023, our shareholders’ value increased by approximately 15% of the value on their shareholder return and accordingly, the executive compensation actually paid for the PEO & non-PEO NEOs was increased by approximately 17% and 9%, respectively. For 2023, the executive compensation actually paid for the PEO & the non-PEO NEOs as a percentage of net income was 20% and 7%, respectively.  For 2022, the executive compensation actually paid for the PEO & the non-PEO NEOs as a percentage of net income was 6% and 4%, respectively. The program we have designed continues to incentivize our executive team to drive the results that create value for our shareholders and motivate our executive team to sustain that value creation in the future fiscal years by rewarding the value created in the current fiscal year.  We believe our compensation program exemplifies a properly functioning pay-for-performance approach to compensation.  We have constructed a compensation program that incentivizes our executive team to outperform our peers thereby generating significant value for our shareholders.
