Stock-Based Compensation

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2025

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]

Pursuant to the 2022 Stock Incentive Plan, we grant stock options, stock-only stock appreciation rights ("SOSARs"), restricted stock units ("RSUs"), and performance stock units ("PSUs") to employees and non-employee directors. SOSARs and RSUs generally vest in two equal installments on the second and third anniversary of the grant date. PSUs are subject to service, market and performance vesting conditions, and the quantity of shares that vest will range from 0% to 300% of the targeted number of shares.

In response to the departure of our former CEO in 2024, we granted retention RSUs to key executives. These awards have various vesting terms, and will vest over one, two or three years. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, total expense recognized for the retention RSUs was $11,877. The impact of these employee retention awards are reflected in the tables below.

Total stock-based compensation expense was as follows:


	Three months ended March 31,

Stock-based compensation	$	38,180	$	36,681
Stock-based compensation, net of income taxes	$	31,811	$	31,286
Total capitalized stock-based compensation included in leasehold improvements, property and equipment, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets	$	579	$	678
Excess tax benefit on stock-based compensation recognized in provision for income taxes on the condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income	$	10,181	$	13,255
