Pay Versus Performance
This section should be read in conjunction with our Compensation Discussion and Analysis which provides additional information regarding our compensation philosophy, our performance-based compensation programs structure, and compensation decisions made this year. Under the Dodd-Frank Act, we are required to disclose certain information about the relationship between the compensation deemed “actually paid” to our named executive officers and certain company performance measures. The principal difference between the compensation shown in the Summary Compensation Table and the table below is that the below table adds the change in fair value of unvested option awards as though it was actually paid in that year.
The following table provides information regarding compensation actually paid to our principal executive officer, or PEO, and other named executive officers, or NEOs, during fiscal 2023, 2022 and 2021, compared to our total shareholder return (TSR) from October 31, 2020 through the end of each such fiscal year and our net income and EBITDA for each such fiscal year.

Compensation Actually Paid does not necessarily reflect compensation actually earned, realized, or received by the PEO or the non-PEO NEOs, but reflects adjustments made to the Summary Compensation Table totals for the PEO and non PEO NEOs in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K as set forth below. The valuation assumptions used to calculate fair value, or change in fair value, as applicable, were made in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 and the valuation assumptions did not materially differ from those disclosed at the time of the grant.

The peer group used is the Dow Jones U.S. Aerospace Index, which was also utilized in the Company's stock performance graph in its 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Total shareholder return is calculated by assuming that a $100 investment was made for the three-year period from October 31, 2020 through October 31, 2023. The total shareholder returns include the reinvestment of cash dividends.
(4)
The dollar amounts reflect HEICO's net income as reported in the Company's audited financial statements.
(5)
In the Company's assessment, EBITDA is the most important financial performance measure (other than net income attributable to HEICO and operating cash flow) used by the Company in fiscal 2023 to link Compensation Actually Paid to its NEOs to Company performance.
