(4)The compensation peer group for each listed fiscal year consists of the companies listed as our compensation benchmarking peer group in the Compensation Discussion & Analysis. For 2025, the companies included AbbVie Inc., Accenture plc, Agilent Technologies, Inc., Amgen Inc., Avantor, Inc., Biogen Inc., Bristol Myers Squibb Co., Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp., Danaher Corporation, Eli Lilly & Co., Gartner, Inc., Gilead Sciences, Inc., International Business Machines Corp., ICON Plc, Laboratory Corp of America Holdings, Merck & Co., Inc., Moderna, Inc., Pfizer Inc., Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc., Vertex Pharmaceuticals Inc., and Zoetis Inc.

(5)The Company has identified Adjusted Diluted EPS Growth as the company-selected measure for the pay versus performance disclosure, as it represents the most important financial performance measure used to link compensation actually paid to the PEO and the Other NEOs in 2025 to the Company’s performance. See Appendix A in this Proxy Statement for a reconciliation of Adjusted Diluted EPS Growth, a non-GAAP measure, to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

102IQVIA HOLDINGS INC. | 2026 Proxy Statement

(6)Adjusted Diluted EPS Growth was chosen from the following four most important financial performance measures used by the Company to link compensation actually paid to the PEO and other NEOs in 2025 to the Company’s performance:

Performance Metrics

Adjusted Diluted EPS Growth (as defined in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Elements of Compensation—Short-Term Incentive Awards,” described on page 57)

Relative Total Stockholder Return (as defined in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Elements of Compensation— Long-Term Incentive Awards,” described on page 60)

Revenue (as defined in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Elements of Compensation—Short-Term Incentive Awards,” described on page 57)

Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Elements of Compensation—Short-Term Incentive Awards,” described on page 57)

In the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this Proxy Statement, we provide greater detail on the elements of our executive compensation program and our “pay-for-performance” compensation philosophy. We believe the Company’s executive compensation program and the executive compensation decisions included in the 2025 Summary Compensation Table and related disclosures appropriately reward our PEO and the Other NEOs for Company and individual performance, assist the Company in retaining our senior leadership team and support long-term value creation for our stockholders. The values included in the columns for Compensation Actually Paid to our PEO and the Other NEOs, calculated in accordance with Item 402(v) of SEC Regulation S-K, in each of the fiscal years reported above and over the five-year cumulative period shows how the compensation awarded fluctuated year-over-year, primarily based on our stock price as of the last day of the listed fiscal year, among other factors. As the values change considerably from year-to-year based on stock price performance, they further demonstrate the “pay-for-performance” compensation philosophy of our executive compensation program. As the table demonstrates, the compensation of our PEO and the Other NEOs is higher when our stock price performs well, and lower when the stock price does not perform as well, demonstrating the clear alignment of interests of our PEO and the Other NEOs and our stockholders.

Given a significant amount of the values in the columns for Compensation Actually Paid to our PEO and the Other NEOs are based on our stock price as of a particular date in time, and specifically under the SEC rules, required to be the last day of the listed fiscal year, it is important to note that the values could have been dramatically different if other dates were chosen or if our stock price happened to be higher or lower on the last day of the listed fiscal year.
