SEC rules require certain adjustments be made to the Summary Compensation Table (“SCT”) totals to determine “compensation actually paid” ​(“CAP”) as reported in the Pay Versus Performance table. CAP does not necessarily represent cash and/or equity value transferred to the applicable NEO without restriction, but rather is a value calculated under applicable SEC rules. A reconciliation of the SCT totals to CAP to our PEO and our Other NEOs (as an average) is shown below:

Rows reporting the following adjustments were omitted from this table because they were not applicable: (i) aggregate change in the actuarial present value of accumulated benefits under all defined benefit and pension plans reported in the SCT; (ii) service cost; (iii) prior service cost; and (iv) dividends or other earnings paid on stock or option awards in the covered fiscal year prior to vesting if not otherwise included in the fair value of the award or the SCT total compensation for the covered fiscal year.
​

Total shareholder return is calculated based on a fixed investment of one hundred dollars measured from the market close on September 30, 2020 (the last trading day of fiscal 2020) through and including the end of each fiscal year reported in the table.

Our peer group used for the TSR calculation is the Nasdaq Telecommunications Index, which is the same “peer index” used in the performance graph appearing in our annual report on Form 10-K.

Our company-selected measure, which is the measure we believe represents the most important financial performance not otherwise presented in the table above that we use to link CAP to our NEOs for fiscal 2023 to our Company’s performance, is Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses, restructuring charges and reversals and changes in fair value of contingent consideration is useful to investors to evaluate our core operating results and financial performance because it excludes items that are significant non-cash or non-recurring expenses reflected in the consolidated statements of operation.
