Stockholders' Equity Note 6: Stockholders' Equity

Common Stock

In May 2025, the Company’s board of directors authorized a new share repurchase program, which supersedes and replaces all prior repurchase programs. Under the 2025 Repurchase Program, the Company is authorized to repurchase up to 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock in the aggregate through open market and privately negotiated transactions, at such times and in such amounts as the Company deems appropriate. Repurchases may also be made under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, which would permit shares to be repurchased when the Company might otherwise be precluded from doing so under insider trading laws. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including price, corporate and regulatory requirements, capital availability, and other market conditions. The 2025 Repurchase Program does not have an expiration date and may be expanded, limited, or terminated at any time without prior notice. The Company has made no repurchases under the 2025 Repurchase Program and additionally no repurchases were made under the superseded 2014 Repurchase Program for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. Shares repurchased but not yet retired by the Company will be classified as treasury stock on the Consolidated Balance Sheets before retirement. Retirement of treasury stock results in reductions to common stock and additional paid-in capital.

Stock-based Compensation Plans

The Company grants stock-based awards, including stock options, restricted stock awards ("RSAs"), and restricted stock units ("RSUs"). The Company measures stock-based compensation cost at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and recognizes it as expense over the vesting or service period, as applicable, of the stock-based award using the straight-line method. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. Stock-based compensation expense has been included in the same lines as compensation paid to the same employees in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Stock-based compensation expense was included in the following operating expense categories:

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the per share fair value of stock option grants with time-based vesting. The Black-Scholes model relies on a number of key assumptions to calculate estimated fair values. There were no stock option grants during the three months ended March 31, 2026. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the expected life of each award granted was determined based on historical experience with similar awards, giving consideration to contractual terms, anticipated exercise patterns, and vesting schedules. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility levels of the Company’s Class B common stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury issues with terms approximately equal to the expected life of the option. The Company uses an expected annual dividend yield in consideration of the Company’s common stock dividend payments, which we consider to be zero.

The following assumptions were used in determining the fair value of time-vested stock option grants for the periods indicated (there were no stock option grants for the three months ended March 31, 2026):
