Peer group, and who names Janus International as a peer

Companies that benchmark against JBI

4 companies name JBI as a compensation peer

Each company listed discloses JBI in its own benchmarking peer group, as disclosed in each company's most recent proxy statement within the last two proxy seasons. Two companies are therefore absent by design: one that named JBI in an earlier year and no longer does, and one whose own most recent disclosure is older than the last two seasons.
