The metrics that the Company uses for both our long-term and short-term incentive awards are selected based on an objective of incentivizing our NEOs to increase the value of our enterprise for our stockholders. The following table presents the financial performance measures that the Company considers the most important in linking Compensation Actually Paid to our CEO and other NEOs for 2023 to Company performance. The measures in this table are not ranked. Description of Certain Relationships between Information Presented in the Pay Versus Performance Table As described in greater detail under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the Company’s executive compensation program reflects a performance-based pay philosophy. While the Company utilizes several performance measures to align executive compensation with Company performance, not all of those Company measures are presented in the Pay Versus Performance table. Moreover, the Company generally seeks to incentivize long-term performance, and therefore does not specifically align the Company’s performance measures with compensation that is actually paid (as computed in accordance with SEC rules) for a particular year. In accordance with SEC rules, the Company is providing the following descriptions of the relationships between information presented in the Pay Versus Performance table. | | | |
