Pay vs Performance Disclosure, Table
Pay vs. Performance
The following table summarizes the total compensation of our principal executive officer (“PEO”) and the average of the total compensation of our other NEOs as reported in the Summary Compensation Table for the past three fiscal years, as well as their “compensation actually paid” as calculated pursuant to recently adopted SEC rules and certain performance measures required by the rules. Compensation actually paid, as determined under SEC requirements, does not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned by or paid to our executive officers during a covered year. For further information concerning the Company’s
pay-for-performance
philosophy and how the Company aligns executive compensation with the Company’s performance, refer to the Compensation Discussion and Analysis.

The Company has identified Adjusted EBITDA as the company-selected measure for the pay versus performance disclosure, as it represents the most important financial performance measure used to link compensation actually paid to the PEO and the other NEOs in 2023 to the Company’s performance. EBITDA is adjusted earnings before income taxes, interest, preferred stock dividends and depreciation and amortization, as shown on page 32 of the Company’s Form
10-K
filed with the SEC on February 20, 2024. For 2020—2023, this number was adjusted to remove the impact of stock-based compensation expense.

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Total Shareholder Return
Relationship Between Compensation Actually Paid and Cumulative TSR
As reflected in the table above and the graph below, from 2020 to 2023, the compensation actually paid to our PEO and the average of the compensation actually paid to our other NEOs increased by 25.4% and decreased 12.2%, respectively, compared to the Company’s cumulative TSR of 106.5% over the same period. The Company’s cumulative TSR from 2020 through 2023 was 106.5%, compared to the TSR of our performance peer group of 72.9% over the same period.
As described in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the Company’s long-term incentive plan is a centerpiece of our executive compensation and a significant portion of the compensation actually paid to our PEO and our other NEOs comprises equity awards. As a result, the compensation actually paid to our PEO and other NEOs is aligned with our cumulative TSR performance and stockholder value creation over the applicable measurement periods.

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Net Income
Relationship Between Compensation Actually Paid and Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders
From 2020 to 2023, the compensation actually paid to our PEO and to our other NEOs increased by 25.4% and decreased 12.2%, respectively, compared to a 905.8% increase in net income attributable to common stockholders (from $70.4 million for 2020 to $708.1 million for 2023) over the same time period.

Compensation Actually Paid and Adjusted EBITDA
As reflected in the following graph, from 2020 to 2023, compensation actually paid to our PEO and to our other NEOs increased by 25.4% and decreased 12.2%, respectively, compared to a 157.9% increase in Adjusted EBITDA over the same time period. The Company has identified Adjusted EBITDA as the company-selected measure for the pay versus performance disclosure, as it represents an important financial performance measure used to link compensation actually paid to the PEO and the other NEOs in 2023 to the Company’s performance. Adjusted EBITDA significantly increased in 2021 and 2022, highlighting the Company’s strong financial performance and creation of stockholder value in the face of significant macroeconomic challenges, while in 2023, the Company achieved relatively flat year-over-year Adjusted EBITDA of $1.7 billion.
