 driver of the variation in PEO CAP and average NEO CAP over the five years presented in the table was changes in equity award values under SEC rules as noted above. We did not use Incentive Pre-Tax Income in our annual MIP program for FY21 but instead established a temporary alternative framework in light of the uncertainty of the pandemic, as discussed in our 2021 proxy statement.

Cumulative TSR of the Company and Cumulative TSR of the Peer Index: For the periods presented in the table, both our cumulative TSR and the cumulative TSR of the Dow Jones U.S. Apparel Retailers Index (DJUSRA) were positive, with our TSR outperforming the TSR of the DJUSRA for each period shown. Although our Compensation Committee continues to monitor our relative TSR performance as discussed in the CD&A, we did not use our TSR performance versus the TSR performance of the DJUSRA as a financial performance measure within our incentive plans for the years presented in the table. For more information about the peer group used by the Compensation Committee as part of its decision-making process for FY25, refer to The Role of Our Peer Group in the CD&A.

Each non-employee director is eligible for two annual deferred stock awards (including deferred dividend awards) under the SIP. For FY25, the target value of each of these two deferred stock awards was $100,000, for a total target award value of $200,000.
