Restricted Stock Units
Each restricted stock unit ("RSU") represents the right to receive one share of the Company's common stock upon vesting. The fair value of RSUs granted by the Company was calculated based upon the Company's closing stock price on the date of the grant, and the stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period. RSUs generally vest over four years with 25% of the grants vesting at the end of the first year and the remaining vesting annually over the following three years.
There were 1,494,482 and 1,294,694 RSUs granted during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The weighted average grant date fair value for each RSU granted during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $12.14 and $21.25, respectively.
As of March 31, 2026, there was $52,413 of unrecognized compensation cost related to RSUs granted under the Plans, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.92 years. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, 662,334 and 405,545 RSUs vested, respectively. The fair value of RSUs vested during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $8,604 and $9,212, respectively.
Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units
In March 2026, March 2025, March 2024, and February 2023, the Company awarded performance-based restricted stock units ("PRSUs") under the 2022 Plan. Each PRSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of common stock upon the achievement of specified performance goals. The fair value of PRSUs granted by the Company
was calculated based upon the Company's closing stock price on the date of the grant, and the stock-based compensation expense is recognized when the grant date is determined and performance conditions are probable of achievement. At the point when performance conditions are considered probable of achievement, the Company records stock-based compensation expense with a cumulative catch-up expense in the period first recognized and on a straight-line basis over the remaining period for which the performance criteria are expected to be completed.
In March 2026, the Company awarded to all executive officers PRSUs for a maximum of 498,375 shares (based on 150% achievement of the applicable performance conditions outlined in the awards), with a target award of 332,250 PRSUs (based on 100% achievement of the applicable performance conditions), and a threshold award of 166,125 PRSUs (based on 50% achievement of the applicable performance conditions) (the "2026 PRSUs"). The 2026 PRSUs were considered granted under ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation ("Topic 718") in March 2026. The 2026 PRSUs are scheduled to vest, if at all, upon the certification by the Company's compensation committee of the achievement of the applicable performance conditions following the filing of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2028.
In March 2025, the Company awarded to all executive officers PRSUs for a maximum of 173,438 shares (based on 150% achievement of the applicable performance conditions outlined in the awards), with a target award of 115,625 PRSUs (based on 100% achievement of the applicable performance conditions), and a threshold award of 57,813 PRSUs (based on 50% achievement of the applicable performance conditions) (the "2025 PRSUs"). The 2025 PRSUs were considered granted under Topic 718 in March 2025. 18,750 2025 PRSUs were forfeited in June 2025, representing the number of shares that would have vested at the maximum level for the applicable milestones. The remaining 2025 PRSUs are scheduled to vest, if at all, upon the certification by the Company's compensation committee of the achievement of the applicable performance conditions following the filing of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2027.
In March 2024, the Company awarded to all executive officers PRSUs for a maximum of 180,000 shares (based on 150% achievement of the applicable performance conditions outlined in the awards), with a target award of 120,000 PRSUs (based on 100% achievement of the applicable performance conditions), and a threshold award of 60,000 PRSUs (based on 50% achievement of the applicable performance conditions) (the "2024 PRSUs"). The 2024 PRSUs were considered granted under Topic 718 in March 2024. 22,500 2024 PRSUs were forfeited in June 2025, representing the number of shares that would have vested at the maximum level for the applicable milestones. In March 2026, the Company's compensation committee determined the achievement of the PRSUs set to vest upon the certification by the Company's compensation committee following the filing of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, subject to the continued provision of services by the holder to the Company through such vesting date. The Company's compensation committee determined that the applicable performance conditions had been met between target and maximum level for 50,275 of the PRSUs and at the maximum level for 94,500 of the PRSUs.
In February 2023, the Company awarded to certain executive officers PRSUs for a maximum of 62,693 shares (based on 150% achievement of the applicable performance conditions outlined in the awards), with a target award of 41,795 PRSUs (based on 100% achievement of the applicable performance conditions), and a threshold award of 20,898 PRSUs (based on 50% achievement of the applicable performance conditions) (the "2023 PRSUs"). The 2023 PRSUs were considered granted under Topic 718 in February 2023. 13,215 2023 PRSUs were forfeited in June 2025, representing the number of shares that would have vested at the maximum level for the applicable milestones. In March 2026, the Company's compensation committee determined the achievement of the PRSUs set to vest upon the certification by the Company's compensation committee following the filing of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. Of the PRSUs that were eligible to vest, the Company's compensation committee determined that the applicable performance conditions had been met at the target level for 10,994 of the PRSUs and between the threshold and target level for 8,687 of the PRSUs, all of which vested in March 2026, and that the applicable performance conditions had not been met for 16,496 PRSUs, representing the number of shares that would have vested at the maximum level for the applicable milestones, which were forfeited in March 2026.
In August 2022, the Company awarded 90,000 PRSUs to an executive officer, all of which are considered granted under Topic 718. In March 2025, the Company's compensation committee determined the achievement of the awards set to vest upon the certification by the Company's compensation committee following the filing of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. Of the 27,000 PRSUs that were eligible to vest following the filing of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the Company's compensation committee determined that the applicable performance conditions had been met for 14,850 of the PRSUs, which vested in March 2025, and that the applicable performance conditions had not been met for 12,150 PRSUs,
which were forfeited in March 2025. The Company's compensation committee also determined that the applicable performance conditions for 27,000 PRSUs that were eligible to vest following the filing of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 could not be met and these awards were forfeited in March 2025.
The weighted average grant date fair value for each PRSU granted during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $12.15 and $21.24, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, 19,681 and 14,850 PRSUs vested, respectively.
Stock Options
Stock options must be granted at an exercise price not less than 100% of the fair market value per share at the grant date. The board of directors or compensation committee determines the exercise price of the Company’s stock options based on the closing price of the common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on the date of the grant. The maximum contractual term of options granted under the Plans is typically 10 years, options generally vest over four years with 25% of the shares underlying the option vesting at the end of the first year and the remaining vesting monthly over the following three years. In March 2025, March 2024, and February 2023, the Company granted the chief executive officer premium priced options to purchase 90,000, 87,271 and 65,525 shares of common stock, respectively, with exercise prices equal to 110% of the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, 185,915 and 48,198 options under the Plans were exercised for total proceeds of $583 and $423, respectively.
The fair value of each option award is determined on the date of grant using the Black Scholes Merton option-pricing model. The calculation of fair value included several assumptions that require management’s judgment. The expected terms of options granted to employees during 2026 and 2025 were calculated using an average of historical exercises. The estimated volatility for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 incorporated a calculated volatility derived from a 50/50 blended approach using the Company's own historical closing prices of its shares of common stock for the expected term of the option with the historical closing prices of shares of common stock of similar entities whose share prices were publicly available for the expected term of the option. The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury constant maturities in effect at the time of grant for the expected term of the option. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur; as such, the Company does not estimate forfeitures at the time of grant.
Following are the weighted average valuation assumptions used for option awards during the periods presented:

The weighted average grant date fair value per share of options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $7.38 and $13.32, respectively. The intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $1,683 and $637, respectively.
As of March 31, 2026, there was $24,531 of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options granted under the Plans, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.53 years. The fair value of shares vested during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $6,454 and $11,080, respectively.
