Incentive Compensation	Note 9. Incentive Compensation The Company has granted incentive compensation awards to employees pursuant to the Continental Resources, Inc. 2022 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2022 Plan”). Awards granted prior to 2024 generally vest after three years of employee service. Awards granted in 2024 and thereafter generally vest annually, in one-third increments, over three years of employee service. The Company intends to settle all outstanding incentive awards vesting in the future in cash and, thus, the awards are classified as liability awards pursuant to ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. At June 30, 2025, the Company had recorded a current liability of $53.6 million and a non-current liability of $10.8 million in the captions “Current portion of incentive compensation liability” and “Incentive compensation liability, noncurrent,” respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets associated with the awards. Such amounts reflect the Company’s estimate of expected future cash payments multiplied by the percentage of requisite service periods that employees have completed as of June 30, 2025. The compensation expense associated with such awards totaled $13.4 million and $20.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $36.8 million and $53.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which is included in the caption “General and administrative expenses” in the consolidated statements of income. As of June 30, 2025, there was approximately $84.8 million of unrecognized liabilities and compensation expense related to unvested awards, which are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.4 years. The Company’s incentive compensation liability will be remeasured each reporting period leading up to the applicable award vesting dates to reflect additional service rendered by employees and to reflect changes in expected cash payments arising from underlying changes in the value of the Company based on independent third party appraisals. Changes in the liability will be recorded as increases or decreases to compensation expense. The Company has estimated the number of forfeitures expected to occur in determining the amount of liability and expense to recognize.
