Frequently Asked Questions

The 2025 long-term equity incentive awards consist of time-based RSUs and performance-based PSUs. The PSUs are specifically tied to Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) and Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) performance goals over a three-year period (fiscal years 2025-2027). The number of PSUs ultimately awarded can be adjusted based on the company's Total Shareholder Return (TSR) relative to a comparator group.

For fiscal year 2024, the Named Executive Officers (NEOs) received incentive payouts equal to 157% of their target bonus. This payout level is based on the company's overall performance during the 2024 fiscal year, as determined by the Compensation Committee.

The 2025 Annual Incentive Plan will be based on two primary metrics: EBITDA, weighted at 60%, and same-store sales growth in the inside sales category, weighted at 40%. Payouts are determined as a percentage of base salary, with a range from 0% to 200% of the target amount, depending on performance achievement.

The time-based RSUs will vest in three equal installments on June 15th of 2025, 2026, and 2027. The performance-based PSUs will vest in full on June 15, 2027, subject to the satisfaction of the applicable performance goals (ROIC and EBITDA) and the TSR modifier, as well as continued employment.
