PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE
The following information is presented to disclose the relationship between executive “compensation actually paid,” as calculated under applicable SEC rules, and the Company’s financial performance.
Pay versus Performance Table
The following table provides information on the total compensation and compensation actually paid to our principal executive officer and to our other named executive officers, along with the total shareholder return of the Company and our executive compensation peer group, our net income and our adjusted operating income for the fiscal years 2022, 2021 and 2020. The Company-selected measure for evaluating pay versus performance is adjusted operating income. The Company-selected peer group is the Company’s compensation benchmarking peer group for each fiscal year presented. The compensation actually paid to our named executive officers has been calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K.

These columns represent cumulative shareholder return on our common stock and on the Company’s benchmarking peer group for each of the relevant measurement periods, assuming a fixed investment of $100 on January 31, 2020, in our common stock. The stock price performance shown in the table is not necessarily indicative of future price performance.

The Company’s benchmarking peer group in 2020 included the following nineteen companies (the “2020 Peer Group”): Aramark, Bed Bath & Beyond, Inc., Best Buy Co. Inc., CarMax, Inc., Dollar General Corporation, Gap, Inc., Genuine Parts Company, Kohl’s Corporation, L Brands, Inc., Lowe’s Companies, Inc., Macy’s Inc., McDonalds Corporation, Nordstrom, Inc., Rite Aid Corporation, Ross Stores, Inc., Starbucks Corporation, Sysco Corporation, TJX Companies, Inc. and Tractor Supply Company. In December 2020 the Company established a new peer group for 2021 which included 15 companies from its then existing peer group and three new companies. The change in peer group reflected the higher weighting that was placed on essential businesses and companies with a similar customer base. The Company’s benchmarking peer group in 2021 and 2022 included the following eighteen companies (the “2021/2022 Peer Group”): Bed Bath & Beyond, Inc., Best Buy Co., Inc., BJ’s Wholesale Club Holdings, Inc., Dollar General Corporation, Gap, Inc., Genuine Parts Company, Home Depot, Inc., Kohls Corporation, Lowe’s Companies, Inc., Macy’s Inc., McDonalds Corporation, Nordstrom, Inc., Rite Aid Corporation, Ross Stores, Inc., Starbucks Corporation, Target Corporation, TJX Companies, Inc. and Tractor Supply Company. Had the Company maintained the 2020 Peer Group as the Company’s benchmarking peer group from fiscal year 2020 through fiscal year 2022 then the cumulative total shareholder return for the 2020 Peer Group, assuming a fixed investment of $100 on January 31, 2020, would have been $114.40, $134.13 and $140.45 in 2020, 2021 and 2022 respectively.

Adjusted Operating Income for purposes of our executive compensation program is a non-GAAP measure that adjusts GAAP operating income to exclude the impact of various items to the extent that the amounts related to those items differ from the budget approved by the Board of Directors for the applicable year.
