The previous year's results were also benefited by a one-time return of escrow payments associated with litigation against Google that was settled in the previous year.

Specifically, in assessing individual 2024 achievements for each of our NEOs, the Committee considered the following: (i) with respect to Mr. Kim, his role as Chief Executive Officer, including his focus on overseeing the operations of, and developing the strategic agenda for, the Company; (ii) with respect to Mr. Swidler, his role as President and Chief Financial Officer, including his management of our finance, tax, real estate and facilities, advertising sales, investor relations, M&A, corporate social responsibility and corporate communications functions, his work on transitioning the Chief Financial Officer role through internal succession, his oversight and planning of our first ever Investor Day held in December 2024, and his leadership strength, which continued to provide needed continuity for the Company; (iii) with respect to Mr. Edgett, his role as Chief Legal Officer, including his management of our legal, compliance and privacy functions, the immediate value he quickly added to the Company shortly after joining, and his willingness to take on additional responsibilities; (iv) with respect to Mr. Eigenmann, his role as Chief Accounting Officer, including his management of our global accounting and financial reporting functions, and his contributions to the Company’s enterprise planning process; and (v) with respect to Ms. Teckman, her role in successfully guiding our legal, compliance and privacy functions on an interim basis through much of 2024.
