Fiscal year 2025 executive and director compensation, incentive-plan design, equity activity, and governance — every figure in this brief is traceable to its exact location in the company’s SEC filing — the document, the section, the page, and the table, linked directly.
Each company listed discloses USNA 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 USNA in an earlier year and no longer does, and one whose own most recent disclosure is older than the last two seasons.

USANA's compensation philosophy is to attract and retain executives through fair and competitive pay, motivate executives to achieve financial and non-financial performance objectives by tying compensation to individual and Company performance, and ensure compensation practices do not impair the Company's financial strength. The program targets the market median for base salary (25th-75th percentile range) and targets total compensation within the 50th to 75th percentile of the peer group.

Computed as the sum of the director compensation table rows above; inputs and formula shown in the register.
The compensation peer group as the company disclosed it in its own proxy — the reference set behind the percentile above.
Of the companies Usana Health Sciences 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 Usana Health Sciences.
Most recent fiscal-year chief executive compensation at each disclosed peer, taken from that company's own proxy statement.
