 adjusted these amounts by annualizing the compensation for full-time and part-time individuals employed on December 31, 2024 who did not work the entire year. No full-time equivalent adjustments were made for part-time individuals, and we did not annualize the compensation of temporary or seasonal employees.

• Because we had an even number of employees as of the date we used for determining our median employee (that is, December 31, 2024), there was not a single median employee. We determined our “median employee” by averaging the total compensation of the two employees nearest the median.

Calculation of the CEO Pay Ratio. The CEO pay ratio compares the annual total compensation of Mr. Waycaster to the annual total compensation of our median employee. For this comparison, we are required to calculate Mr. Waycaster’s “annual total compensation” as the amount we reported in the “ Total ” column of the 2024 Summary Compensation Table above.

We calculated the annual total compensation of our median employee as if the amount would be reported in the “ Total ” column of the 2024 Summary Compensation Table. Our median employee’s annual total compensation is different (greater) than the amount of our median employee’s total cash compensation because it includes some non-cash items, such as the value of our contributions to the 401(k) plan, payroll deductions for deferrals to our 401(k) plan and insurance premiums and our insurance premium payments. We calculated the annual total compensation of our median employee on this basis because it permits us to more accurately compare the total compensation this employee received to the total compensation Mr. Waycaster received.
