PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE

As required by Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship of “compensation actually paid” (“CAP”) to our PEO and other NEOs (“Non-PEO NEOs”) and our, and certain of our peers’, performance. For information regarding the Company’s compensation philosophy and how the Company aligns executive compensation with financial performance, refer to the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this proxy statement, beginning on page 21.

We had two PEOs during fiscal 2025. Mr. Conroy (“PEO 2”) served as the PEO from March 31, 2024 until his resignation from the Company effective November 22, 2024. Mr. Hazen (“PEO 1”) served as the PEO beginning on November 22, 2024 and through the remainder of fiscal 2025.

The methodology for calculating amounts presented in the columns for 2025 “CAP to PEO 1,” “CAP to PEO 2,” and “Average CAP to Non-PEO NEOs,” including details regarding the amounts that were deducted from, and added to, the SCT totals to arrive at the values presented for CAP, are provided in the footnotes to the table.

The following tables and narrative disclosure provide information on the relationship of the compensation of PEO 1, PEO 2, and our other Non-PEO NEOs, compared to our performance over the past five fiscal years.

(1)John Hazen was PEO beginning on November 22, 2024 through the end of fiscal 2025.
(2)James G. Conroy was PEO during fiscal 2025 until November 22, 2024 and during each of fiscal 2024, fiscal 2023, fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021.
(3)Non-PEO NEOs whose average compensation is reflected in columns (f) and (g) consist of: James M. Watkins, Laurie Grijalva, and Michael A. Love for each of the fiscal years presented; Peter Starrett for fiscal 2025; John Hazen for fiscal 2024, fiscal 2023, fiscal 2022, and fiscal 2021; and Gregory V. Hackman for fiscal 2023, fiscal 2022, and fiscal 2021.
(4)The dollar amounts reported in columns (d), (e), and (g) represent the amounts of CAP to PEO 1, CAP to PEO 2, and Average CAP to Non-PEO NEOs, respectively. CAP does not necessarily represent cash and/or equity value transferred to the PEOs or Non-PEO NEOs without restriction, but rather is a value calculated in accordance with applicable SEC rules. As the Company does not have a defined benefit plan, no adjustments for pension benefits are included in the below tables. Similarly, no adjustments were made for dividends, as the Company has not paid any dividends. No adjustments were made for equity awards that were granted and vested in the same fiscal year, as there were no such equity awards for the fiscal years presented. Additionally, no adjustments were made for equity awards that failed to meet their vesting conditions, as any such equity awards were previously accounted for in prior fiscal years. The following tables reconcile CAP to the SCT Total for the PEOs and the Non-PEO NEOs.
(5)Total Stockholder Return (“TSR”) and peer group TSR reflect our TSR compared to that of a peer group of similarly-sized (based on EBIT, market capitalization, and revenue sizes, as well as total shareholder return) publicly-traded companies in similar business sectors, most notably specialty retail, used by our Compensation Committee in making executive compensation determinations and described under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis.” Information regarding the peer group is set forth under “Company TSR Compared to Peer Group TSR.” The dollar amounts in columns (h) and (i) represent the value at the end of the applicable year of an assumed $100 investment in, respectively, our common stock and the peer group on the last trading day before the earliest fiscal year the peer group company is included, assuming reinvestment of dividends.
(6)In accordance with SEC rules, the table must include, in addition to relative TSR and Net Income, a Company-Selected Measure (“CSM”). We have included Consolidated EBIT, a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined for this purpose as earnings before income taxes, excluding certain one-time selling, general, and administrative expenses. As discussed above under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” Consolidated EBIT is a key measure used in determining compensation of our NEOs.

Tabular Disclosure of Most Important Compensation-Related Measures

The following table sets forth an unranked list of the most important measures, including the CSM, used by the Company to link CAP for the PEOs and each of the Non-PEO NEOs to Company performance for fiscal 2025 as described in more detail above under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis”:

(1)As discussed in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” Mr. Starrett was appointed Executive Chairman effective November 22, 2024, and as the Executive Chairman, he is not eligible to participate in the Annual Cash Incentive Bonus Plan. Additionally, he did not receive a fiscal 2025 performance share unit grant. Accordingly, except with respect to stock price as it relates to his restricted stock unit grants, Mr. Starrett’s fiscal 2025 compensation was not directly tied to the Company’s most importance compensation-related measures.

Company TSR Compared to Peer Group TSR

The Company’s peer group, as discussed further above under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” has varied during the presented fiscal years, largely given the outsized growth the Company has seen in Consolidated EBIT and revenue over the last several fiscal years, which has impacted the peer group used to analyze executive compensation. Below is a recap of the Company’s peer group over each of the last five fiscal years. As discussed in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” Hibbett Sports, Inc. was removed from the fiscal 2025 peer group as it was acquired in July 2024 and ceased to be a public company.

The chart below shows the Company’s four-year cumulative TSR compared to that of its peer group TSR. Each peer group company has been included in the cumulative TSR calculation only in the fiscal years in which it was part of the Company’s peer group, and the chart below assumes $100 invested on the last trading day before the earliest fiscal year the peer group company is included.

CAP versus TSR

The chart below provides a comparison of the PEO 1 CAP, PEO 2 CAP, and average Non-PEO NEOs CAP with the Company TSR. As shown in the chart below, the Company’s TSR over the five-year period of fiscal 2021 through fiscal 2025 generally aligns with CAP values for our PEOs and Non-PEO NEOs over the same period, with the exception of PEO 2 in fiscal 2025. Mr. Conroy forfeited all unvested equity awards upon resignation from the Company, which negatively impacted his CAP in fiscal 2025.

CAP versus Net Income

SEC rules require that net income be presented as a performance measure in the Pay Versus Performance Table above. The Company does not use net income to determine compensation levels or incentive plan payouts, and therefore, as depicted in the below chart, there was not total alignment between CAP and net income. Specifically, the improvement in net income from fiscal 2021 to fiscal 2022 and the decrease in net income from fiscal 2023 to fiscal 2024 do not directly align with CAP outcomes. While there are several contributing reasons for this, the main driver, especially with respect to fiscal 2021 PEO 2 CAP, is related to the change in the fair values of the equity awards from prior years. Further, the increase in net income for fiscal 2025 does not align with PEO 2 CAP for fiscal 2025 due to the fact that Mr. Conroy forfeited all unvested equity awards upon resignation from the Company, which negatively impacted his CAP in fiscal 2025.

CAP versus Consolidated EBIT

As described above, we identified Consolidated EBIT as our CSM that represents, in our view, the most important financial measure used to link CAP to our performance. The chart below provides a comparison of the PEO 1 CAP, PEO 2 CAP, and average Non-PEO NEOs CAP with the Company’s Consolidated EBIT. While Consolidated EBIT was our most heavily-weighted metric under the Annual Cash Incentive Bonus Plan for each of the fiscal years presented, there is not total alignment between the Company’s Consolidated EBIT performance and CAP. As noted above, the primary driver in the discrepancy between Consolidated EBIT and CAP relates to the change in the fair values of the equity awards from prior years. Further, the increase in Consolidated EBIT for fiscal 2025 does not align with PEO 2 CAP for fiscal 2025 due to the fact that Mr. Conroy forfeited all unvested equity awards upon resignation from the Company, which negatively impacted his CAP in fiscal 2025.
