Early Exercise of Unvested Stock Options
Shares purchased by employees pursuant to the early exercise of stock options are not deemed, for accounting purposes, to be outstanding shares until those shares vest according to their respective vesting schedules. Cash received from employee exercises of unvested options is included in current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Amounts recorded are reclassified to common stock and additional paid-in capital as the shares vest. Vesting can occur in the year of exercise and thereafter. There were no unvested shares and 1,676 unvested shares related to early exercises of stock options as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. As of June 30, 2025, there was no liability associated with the unvested early exercise of stock options. As of December 31, 2024, the liability associated with the unvested early exercise of stock options was less than $0.1 million.

As of June 30, 2025, there was $14.8 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.4 years.
Restricted Stock Units
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, restricted stock units ("RSUs") were granted to employees with vesting conditions based on continued service over time. Accordingly, stock-based compensation expense for such awards is recognized using a straight-line attribution model over the vesting term of each RSU. The fair value of each RSU is based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant.
