Equity [Abstract] |
Shareholders' Equity and Share-based Payments [Text Block] | 7. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY Equity Incentive Plan The Company’s 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the “Equity Incentive Plan”), provides for grants of phantom stock units, performance awards and stock options as well as grants of stock, including restricted stock. The Equity Incentive Plan was amended and restated effective February 20, 2025 following approval by stockholders at the Company's 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to, among other things, authorize the issuance of an additional 750,000 shares under the Equity Incentive Plan and extend its term to February 19, 2035. As of March 31, 2025, approximately 3.75 million shares of common stock were authorized for issuance under the Equity Incentive Plan, of which approximately 1,291,991 shares were available for issuance. Stock Repurchase Program On July 31, 2024, our Board authorized a stock repurchase program for the purchase from time to time of up to $200,000 of the Company’s common stock after the previous stock repurchase program was fully utilized. Share purchases are made for cash in open market transactions at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The timing and amount of purchases under the program are determined based upon prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. All or part of the repurchases may be implemented under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, which allows repurchases under predetermined terms at times when the Company might otherwise be prevented from purchasing under insider trading laws or because of self-imposed blackout periods. The program does not require the Company to purchase any specific number of shares and may be modified, suspended, reinstated, or terminated at any time at the Company’s discretion and without notice. We repurchased 118,314 and 139,362 shares of our common stock during the three and six months ended March 31, 2025 in open market transactions at an average price of $172.80 and $178.40 per share, respectively. We had no repurchases of common stock in open market transactions during the three and six months ended March 31, 2024. Treasury Stock During the six months ended March 31, 2025, we issued 94,752 shares of common stock from treasury stock to employees and repurchased 38,744 shares of common stock from our employees to satisfy statutory tax withholding requirements upon the vesting of certain phantom stock units under the Equity Incentive Plan. During the six months ended March 31, 2024, we issued 82,180 shares of common stock from treasury stock to employees and repurchased 33,940 shares of common stock from our employees to satisfy statutory tax withholding requirements upon the vesting of certain phantom stock units under the Equity Incentive Plan. During the six months ended March 31, 2024, we issued 1,000 unrestricted shares to satisfy the exercise of certain outstanding option awards under the Equity Incentive Plan. Director Phantom Stock Units Director phantom stock units (“Director PSUs”) are granted to the members of the Board of Directors as part of their overall compensation. The Director PSUs are contractual rights to receive one share of the Company's common stock and are paid via unrestricted stock grants to each director upon their departure from the Board of Directors, or upon a change in control. We record compensation expense for the full value of the grant on the date of grant. Employee Phantom Stock Units An employee phantom stock unit (an “Employee PSU”) is a contractual right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock. Depending on the terms of each grant, Employee PSUs may vest upon the achievement of certain specified performance objectives and continued performance of services, or may vest based on continued performance of services through the vesting date. A summary of Employee PSU activity for the six months ended March 31, 2025 is provided in the table below:
