Restricted stock units (RSUs)
Prior to the IPO, RSUs granted under the award plan generally vested upon the satisfaction of both a service condition and a liquidity-event related performance condition. Both the service and liquidity-event related performance conditions needed to be met for the expense to be recognized. RSUs granted after the IPO generally vest solely based on the satisfaction of a service condition. We record stock-based compensation expense for service-based RSUs on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period.
Prior to the IPO, we had not recognized stock-based compensation expense related to certain RSU awards as the qualifying liquidity-event related performance condition had not yet occurred and was not considered probable of occurring. Stock-based compensation expense related to remaining service-based awards after the IPO is recorded over the remaining requisite service period.
A summary of RSUs activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 is as follows:
