STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION | 6 Months Ended

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] |
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION | STOCK-BASED COMPENSATIONWe issue restricted stock units (“RSUs”), which consist of time-based and performance-based awards, to employees under stock awards plans approved by stockholders. In addition, RSUs are issued to non-employee directors under a Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement for Directors pursuant to the Company’s 2018 Equity Incentive Plan. RSUs granted to employees vest according to a specified performance period and/or vesting period. Time-based RSUs generally vest over three years. Performance-based RSUs vest at the end of the specified performance period, generally three years, assuming required performance or market vesting conditions are met. For awards granted in the first quarter of 2023 and thereafter, our performance-based RSUs will vest solely based on our return on invested capital ("ROIC"). Award share payouts depend on the extent to which the ROIC performance goal has been achieved, but the final payout is adjusted by a total shareholder return ("TSR") modifier. At the time of vesting, the vested shares of common stock are issued in the employee’s name. In addition, RSU awards are generally net settled (shares are withheld to cover the employee tax obligation). RSUs granted to directors are only time-based and generally vest on or around the first anniversary of the date of grant.. The fair value of both time-based RSUs and performance-based RSUs pertaining to internal performance metrics is determined using the closing price of our common stock on the grant date. The fair value of performance-based RSUs pertaining to TSR is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation. Inputs and assumptions used to calculate the fair value are shown in the table below. The fair value of these RSUs is expensed over the vesting period using the straight-line method or using the graded vesting method when an employee becomes eligible to retain the award at retirement.

The actual tax benefit realized for the tax deduction from RSUs was approximately $5.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023. As of June 30, 2023, there was $60.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost relating to RSU awards which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years. Historically we issued stock options to our employees and non-employee directors. We did not issue stock options between 2019 and 2022. Stock options were awarded in the first quarter of 2023 with the exercise price equal to the market price on the date of grant based on the Black-Scholes model and generally vest over three years and expire 10 years after grant. The Company uses historical data to estimate expected life and volatility. The weighted-average fair value of stock options granted under the stock awards plans were $19.84 and $24.23 per share for executive officers and all others employees, respectively, during the first six months of 2023. The executive awards were issued with a 10% premium. These values were estimated on the respective dates of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:
Stock Award Plans: |  |  |
Six Months Ended June 30, | 2023 |  |
Dividend Yield | 1.41 | % |  |
