Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] |
INCENTIVE COMPENSATION | INCENTIVE COMPENSATION The Company sponsors short-term incentive plans that provide the grant of either cash or stock-based bonus awards payable upon achievement of specified performance goals. As of December 29, 2024, the Company has accrued $87.9 million, $36.7 million and $7.8 million related to cash bonus awards that are recognized in the U.S., Europe, and Mexico reportable segments, respectively. The Company also sponsors a performance-based, omnibus long-term incentive plan that provides for the grant of a broad range of long-term equity-based and liability-based awards to the Company’s officers and other employees, members of the Board of Directors and any consultants (the “LTIP”). Awards that may be granted under the LTIP include “incentive stock options,” within the meaning of the IRC, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units (“RSUs”). Equity-based awards are converted into shares of the Company’s common stock shortly after award vesting. Compensation cost to be recognized for an equity-based awards grant is determined by multiplying the number of awards granted by the closing price of a share of the Company’s common stock on the award grant date. Liability-based awards granted under the LTIP are converted into cash shortly after award vesting. Compensation cost to be recognized for a liability-based awards grant is first determined by multiplying the number of awards granted by the closing price of a share of PPC’s common stock on the award grant date. However, the compensation cost to be recognized is adjusted at each subsequent milestone date (i.e., forfeiture date, vesting date or financial reporting date) by multiplying the number of awards granted by the closing price of a share of PPC’s common stock on the milestone date. On May 1, 2019, the Company’s stockholders approved the Pilgrim’s Pride Corporation 2019 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “2019 LTIP”), which replaced the expiring Pilgrim’s Pride Corporation 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2009 LTIP”). The 2019 LTIP became effective as of December 28, 2019. As of December 29, 2024, we have in reserve less than 0.1 million shares of common stock for future issuance under the 2019 LTIP. Compensation costs and the income tax benefit recognized for our stock-based compensation arrangements are included below:

(a)The milestone date fair value is either the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date for equity-based awards or the closing price of a share of the Company’s common stock on the respective milestone date for cash-based liability-based awards (i.e., grant date, vesting date, forfeiture date or financial reporting date). The total fair value of equity-based awards vested during 2024 was $7.1 million. No liability-based awards vested during 2024. The total fair values of equity-based awards and liability-based awards vested during 2023 were $9.3 million and $5.0 million, respectively. As of December 29, 2024, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to all nonvested equity-based awards was $16.9 million. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.91 years. As of December 29, 2024, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to all nonvested liability-based awards was immaterial. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.01 years. Historically, we have issued new shares, as op po sed to treasury shares, to satisfy equity-based award conversions.
