Peer Group Issuers, Footnote The Peer Group TSR represents TSR of the Company's peer group using the same peer group included in the Company's stock performance graph in Item 5 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2024 based upon an investment of $100 as of September 30, 2020. The S&P 400 Commercial and Professional Services index was used as the peer group for fiscal year 2024 in lieuof the prior peer group composed of Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corp., CACI International Inc., Conduent, Inc., ICF International, Inc., Leidos Inc., and Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) which had a Total Shareholder Return of $205.71 for 2024, $130.74 for 2023, $113.26 for 2022, and $110.72. The decision to align our peer group with an index was to ease administrative burden and better align with prevalent market practice.
