performance share units financial

"includes 85,503 performance share units and restricted stock units previously reported"

Performance share units are a type of company stock award given to employees that depend on the company meeting specific goals or targets. If these goals are achieved, the employee receives shares or the value of shares; if not, they may receive little or no compensation. This aligns employees’ interests with the company's success and encourages performance that benefits investors.

restricted stock units financial

"33,272 restricted stock units are scheduled to vest in installments"

Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.

vesting financial

"will be converted on a one-for-one basis into shares ... upon vesting"

Vesting is the process by which you earn full ownership of something, like company stock or a retirement benefit, over time. It’s like earning the right to keep a gift piece by piece the longer you stay with a company, making sure employees stay committed before they receive all the benefits.

one-for-one basis financial

"converted on a one-for-one basis into shares of Applied Materials, Inc."

continued employment financial

"all vesting is subject to continued employment through each applicable vesting date"

Continued employment means that an individual remains in their current job without interruption. For investors, it signals stability and ongoing work that can affect company performance and future prospects. Like a steady heartbeat for a business, sustained employment helps ensure consistent operations and financial health.
