After taking into account the de minimis exemption, 1,947 employees in the United States and 18,110 employees located outside of the United States were considered for identifying the median employee.

• We considered actual annual base pay, actual bonus payout, and equity income, for the purposes of determining the median employee.

• We annualized the salaries for those employees that were hired in 2024. We did not perform adjustments to the compensation paid to part-time employees to calculate what they would have been paid on a full-time basis.

• In determining the annual total compensation of the median employee, we calculated such employee’s compensation in accordance with Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K as required pursuant to SEC executive compensation disclosure rules. This calculation is the same calculation used to determine total compensation for purposes of the 2024 Summary Compensation Table with respect to each of the NEOs.

Using this methodology, we determined that our median employee was a Supervisor, Tool Crib working in our manufacturing facility in Juarez, Mexico. Our median employee compensation for a Supervisor, Tool Crib position in Juarez, Mexico in 2024 as calculated using Summary Compensation Table requirements was $24,348. Our CEO’s compensation as reported in the Summary Compensation Table was $27,321,179. Therefore, our CEO to median employee pay ratio is 1,122 to 1.

This information is being provided for compliance purposes. Neither our Compensation and Human Capital Committee nor our executive management used the pay ratio measure in making compensation decisions.
