Compensation Actually Paid vs. Total Shareholder Return
CAP versus TSR.   As shown in the chart below, the CEO and other NEOs’ CAP values are aligned with the Company’s TSR. This is due primarily to the Company’s use of long-term equity incentive awards, which are tied directly to our stock price in addition to our financial performance. The chart also compares the Company’s cumulative TSR and the 2023 Performance Peer’s TSR.
[MISSING IMAGE: bc_capvstsr-pn.jpg]
     
Compensation Actually Paid vs. Net Income
CAP versus Net Income.   As shown in the chart below, the Company’s net income decreased meaningfully in 2023 and the CEO and other NEOs’ CAP values decreased as well. This is due in large part to the significant emphasis the Company places on long-term equity incentive awards, which are sensitive to changes in stock price. These measures do not align as closely as TSR because the Company does not use net income to determine compensation levels or annual cash performance award payouts.
[MISSING IMAGE: bc_netincome-pn.jpg]
     
Compensation Actually Paid vs. Company Selected Measure
CAP versus adjusted EBITDA.    The chart below compares the CEO and other NEOs’ CAP values to our adjusted EBITDA, which indicates there is a very strong relationship between adjusted EBITDA and CAP.
Historically, adjusted EBITDA determined the largest portion of our annual cash performance awards. Because the Company used adjusted EBITDA margin in 2022, this portion of the annual cash performance award was not earned, thus showing a lower correlation in 2022. In 2023, the Company again used adjusted EBITDA, thus increasing the correlation.

Total Shareholder Return Vs Peer Group
CAP versus TSR.   As shown in the chart below, the CEO and other NEOs’ CAP values are aligned with the Company’s TSR. This is due primarily to the Company’s use of long-term equity incentive awards, which are tied directly to our stock price in addition to our financial performance. The chart also compares the Company’s cumulative TSR and the 2023 Performance Peer’s TSR.
