PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE
Our compensation committee approves and administers our executive compensation program to align executive compensation with stockholder interests by linking pay to performance. Our overall compensation program includes a mix of short-term and long-term components through our annual incentive plan and equity awards. During fiscal year 2023, there were changes to our executive management team, with the termination of a former executive officer and addition of new executive officers; therefore, five NEOs are included in the 2023 Non-PEO NEO (as defined below) calculations.
As required by Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following disclosure regarding executive compensation for our principal executive officer (“PEO”) and non-PEO named executive officers (“Non-PEO NEOs”) and certain aspects of our financial performance for the fiscal years listed below. Our compensation committee did not consider the Item 402(v) Pay Versus Performance disclosure below in making its pay decisions for any of the years shown.

Equity Award Valuations – PEO and Non-PEO NEOs: Stock option grant date fair values are calculated based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model as of date of grant. The valuation assumptions used to calculate the fair values of the stock options held by our PEO and Non-PEO NEOs on average that vested during or were outstanding as of the end of each covered fiscal year differed from those valuation assumptions disclosed at the time of grant primarily based on the differing option value assumptions. Performance-based RSUs used a different Monte Carlo valuation at FY22 and FY23 year ends than the grant date valuation based on updated probability of achievement and stock volatility. Restricted stock unit award grant date fair values are calculated using the stock price as of date of grant and were calculated using the same methodology for the vesting or fiscal year end date.
(5)
Cumulative total stockholder return (“TSR”) in column (f) is calculated by dividing the sum of the cumulative amount of dividends during the measurement period, assuming dividend reinvestment, and the difference between our share price at the end of the applicable measurement period and the beginning of the measurement period by our share price at the beginning of the measurement period. The same methodology is used for our performance peer group in column (g).
(6)
The peer group used to determine the Company’s Peer Group TSR for each applicable fiscal year is the S&P 500 Information Technology index.
(7)
The dollar amounts reported in column (h) represent the amount of net income (loss) reflected in our audited financial statements for each covered fiscal year.
(8)
Our company selected performance measure is Non-GAAP Operating Income, column (i), which we believe is a strong driver in determining our company’s performance. We define Non-GAAP Operating Income as our operating income excluding, as applicable, stock-based compensation expense-related charges, charges on litigation settlements, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and any other non-recurring item deemed to be non-GAAP. Non-GAAP Operating Income is a non-GAAP financial measure. For additional details and a reconciliation of Non-GAAP Operating Income to its most comparable GAAP measure, please see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 3, 2023.

As demonstrated by the following graph, the amount of compensation actually paid to our PEO and Non-PEO NEOs is not directly correlated to our company TSR during the identified period.

Financial Performance Measures
As described in greater detail in “Executive Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” our executive compensation program is designed to reflect our variable “pay-for-performance” philosophy.

The most important financial performance measures (which are not ranked by relative importance) used by us to link compensation actually paid to our named executive officers for the most recently completed fiscal year, to our performance are as follows:
Non-GAAP Operating Income
Stock Price
