The Peer Group TSR set forth in this table utilizes the NASDAQ Telecommunications Index, which we also utilize in the stock performance graph required by Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K included in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2024. The comparison assumes $100 was invested for the period starting December 31, 2019, through the end of the listed year in the Company and in the NASDAQ Telecommunications Index, respectively. Historical stock performance is not necessarily indicative of future stock performance.

(5)

We determined Adjusted EBIT to be the most important financial performance measure used to link Company performance to Compensation Actually Paid to our PEO and Non-PEO NEOs in 2024. Adjusted EBIT is a non-GAAP measure. More information on Adjusted EBIT can be found in “Elements of 2024 Executive Compensation—Short-Term Cash Incentives—2024 Bonus Program” above. This performance measure may not have been the most important financial performance measure for prior years and we may determine a different financial performance measure to be the most important financial performance measure in future years.
