#### Calculation Methodology
For 2024, we identified the employee with annual total compensation at the median of the compensation of all our employees (the “median employee”) by considering our employee population as of December 31, 2024 (the “employee population determination date”). We considered all individuals, excluding our then-serving CEO, who were employed by us (including our consolidated subsidiaries) on the employee population determination date, whether employed in the United States or outside of the United States, or on a full-time, part-time, seasonal or temporary basis, including employees on a leave of absence. Contractors and other non-employees were not included in our employee population. As of December 31, 2024, our employee population consisted of 1,141 employees.

Compensation for purposes of identifying the median employee included the following: (1) base salary paid between January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024 (annualized for permanent employees who joined after January 1, 2024), (2) actual cash incentive compensation paid between January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024, and (3) the grant date fair value of equity awards granted between January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024, calculated using the same methodology we use for our NEOs in our Summary Compensation Table, which reflects all new hire and annual equity awards granted in 2024 to our employees who were employed as of the employee population determination date. For employees paid other than in U.S. dollars, we converted their compensation to U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect as of December 31, 2024, as provided in our system of record for compensation information. We did not make any cost-of-living adjustments for employees outside of the United States. We believe our methodology represents a consistently applied compensation measure because it strikes a balance in terms of administrative burden while consistently treating all the primary compensation components for our worldwide workforce and capturing a full year of each of such primary compensation components.

After identifying the median employee based on the methodology above, we calculated the annual total compensation for such median employee using the same methodology we use to calculate the amount reported for our NEOs in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table.
