(4) The amounts reported in column (h) represent net income of the Company reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the applicable fiscal year.

(5) The amounts reported in column (i) represent MIP Incentive Pre-Tax Income: the adjusted pre-tax income performance results under our MIP for the applicable fiscal year or, in the case of FY21, an estimate of adjusted pre-tax income performance results under our MIP had the Compensation Committee established adjusted pre-tax income performance goals for FY21. The Company did not use Incentive Pre-Tax Income in its annual MIP program for FY21 but instead established a temporary alternative framework in light of the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic, as discussed in our 2021 proxy statement. MIP Incentive Pre-Tax Income for FY22, FY23, FY24, and FY25 reflects the definitions and automatic adjustments pre-established by the Compensation Committee for the applicable fiscal year. Refer to Appendix A for information about how MIP Incentive Pre-Tax Income was determined based on total segment profit reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for each applicable fiscal year.

While the Company uses various performance measures under its executive compensation program, Incentive Pre-Tax Income is the primary metric in our annual incentive plan and the multi-year cumulative metric in our long-term cash program, and the Company has determined that MIP Incentive Pre-Tax Income represents the most important performance measure used by the Company to link CAP to our NEOs to Company performance for FY25 under SEC rules.

### FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE MEASURES
In accordance with SEC rules, the Company has determined that the following financial performance measures were used by the Company to link CAP to our NEOs to Company performance for FY25:

| Financial Performance Measures for FY25 |
| Incentive Pre-Tax Income                |
| Incentive EPS                           |
| Incentive ROIC                          |

The Company has designated MIP Incentive Pre-Tax Income as the “Company-Selected Measure” for purposes of Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, and additional information about MIP Incentive Pre-Tax Income is shown in column (i) of the table above. For more information on our incentive plan performance measures, including why each measure is used and how each measure is included within our program, refer to FY25 Performance Measures in the CD&A.
