Each company listed discloses ESTC 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 ESTC in an earlier year and no longer does, and one whose own most recent disclosure is older than the last two seasons.

Our executive compensation program is guided by our overarching philosophy of paying for performance, structuring compensation to be competitive, reward achievement of business objectives, and align named executive officers' interests with those of shareholders. The program is designed so that a meaningful portion of annual target total direct compensation is variable, with the majority of compensation delivered in the form of variable (or 'at risk') compensation.

The compensation peer group as the company disclosed it in its own proxy — the reference set behind the percentile above.
Of the companies Elastic N.V. names as compensation peers, which name it back in their own disclosed peer groups. A peer set the market reciprocates reads differently from one selected in a single direction.
Reciprocity shown where the peer's own current proxy has been read — each mark is cited in the register to that peer's filing. A dash means the peer's current proxy was read and names no reciprocal group including Elastic N.V..
Most recent fiscal-year chief executive compensation at each disclosed peer, taken from that company's own proxy statement.

Read from each company's Compensation Discussion and Analysis: annual incentive payout as a percentage of target, the disclosed long-term vehicle mix, whether performance-share measures include a total shareholder return component, and the retained compensation consultant. “Not disclosed” appears only where the company's filing does not state the item.
Answers are drawn only from the figures disclosed in this brief and cited to their location in the source filing. Where a figure required for an answer is not disclosed, that is stated rather than estimated.
Each figure's location is given both for the eye (section · page · table · row · column) and for a script (table/row/column index and exact character span in the filed document). Any figure can be independently confirmed against the source.
