Comparative Framework
Peer group data are among a number of factors considered in determining compensation levels and packages for our NEOs. However, true analogs to Ross are difficult to find in the traditional retail apparel sector. Although the Committee considers the compensation practices of peer companies, it does not make any determinations or changes in compensation in reaction to that market data alone and does not target compensation to a specific point or range within any peer group. In addition to reviewing their compensation practices, the Committee also evaluates the financial and operating performance of the peer group companies over one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods to gauge the Company’s comparative performance with a clear focus on the longer term.
The Committee annually reviews the companies included in the peer group and may change peer group composition as it deems appropriate. For fiscal 2025, these peer group companies consisted of:
| Bath & Body Works, Inc. | Best Buy Co., Inc. | Burlington Stores, Inc. | Dick’s Sporting Goods, Inc. |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dollar General Corporation | Dollar Tree, Inc. | Foot Locker, Inc. | The Gap, Inc. |
| Kohl’s Corporation | Macy’s, Inc. | Nordstrom, Inc. | PVH Corp. |
| The TJX Companies, Inc. | Tractor Supply Co. | Ulta Beauty, Inc. | V.F. Corporation |
| Williams-Sonoma, Inc. | |||
The peer companies considered most relevant can vary for each of the executive positions.
