Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]  
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
    The Company has stock incentive plans for executives, directors and eligible employees. Stock awards include performance share units, restricted stock units and awards, and stock options. Stock-based compensation expense in the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $8.5 million compared to $3.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025. At March 31, 2026, there was $44.4 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation cost which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining vesting period of two years. The Company granted 1.4 million cash-settled replacement restricted stock units that have a remaining vesting period of one year for awards assumed as part of the New Gold Transaction.
Granted restricted stock units and awards generally vest in equal installments annually over three years. Performance share units granted during 2026 vest at the end of a three-year service period if relative stockholder return and an internal performance metric are met. The existence of a market condition requires recognition of compensation cost for the performance share unit awards over the requisite period regardless of whether the relative stockholder return metric is met. On the other hand, the existence of a performance condition requires recognition of compensation cost for the performance share awards based on the performance achieved ranging from 0%-200%. Outstanding performance share units granted prior to 2025 will vest at the end of a three-year service period if internal performance metrics are met, with the number of shares vesting impacted by the inclusion of a modifier based upon a relative stockholder return metric. During the first quarter of 2026, the
Company settled the vested performance share awards in cash for $72 million, of which 41 million represented the value of the cash settled awards received by the recipient after withholding $31 million which were remitted to satisfy employee tax withholding requirements. An additional $23 million of tax withholdings were remitted to satisfy employee tax withholding requirements related to restricted stock awards that vested.
