At September 30, 2026, the total unamortized stock‑based compensation expense was approximately $112.9 million, of which $17.5 million and $95.4 million was attributable to stock options and RSUs, respectively. The Company currently issues its annual stock options and RSU grants to senior executives during the first quarter and all other eligible employees during the second quarter, of each year.

Of the $17.5 million related to stock options, $13.0 million is attributable to time-based stock options and will be recognized over the time-based stock options’ remaining vesting terms of approximately 4.0 years (2.6 years on a weighted average basis). The remaining $4.5 million is attributable to performance-based options and will be recognized over the performance-based stock options’ remaining vesting terms of approximately one year (1.1 years on a weighted average basis).

Of the $95.4 million related to RSUs, $88.0 million is attributable to time-based RSUs and will be recognized over the RSUs’ vesting terms of approximately 4.0 years (2.8 years on a weighted-average basis). The remaining $7.4 million is attributable to performance-based RSUs and will be recognized over the performance-based RSUs’ remaining vesting terms of less than two years (1.2 years on a weighted average basis).

The total stock-based compensation cost capitalized in inventory was not significant for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 or 2025.
