| Tabular List [Table Text Block] | Financial Performance Measures As described in greater detail in “Executive Compensation – Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the Company’s executive compensation program reflects a variable pay-for-performance philosophy. 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 most important financial performance measures used by the Company to link executive compensation actually paid to the Company’s NEOs, for the most recently completed fiscal year, to the Company’s performance are as follows: ● Adjusted EBIT ● Adjusted EBITDA ● Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share ● Revenue ● Return on Invested Capital | |||
