Capital Transactions | (3) Capital Transactions Stock-Based Compensation During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company granted 50,577 restricted stock units and 118,021 performance shares to certain employees of the Company under the SkyWest, Inc. 2019 Long-Term Incentive Plan. Both the restricted stock units and performance shares have a three-year vesting period, during which the recipient must remain employed with the Company. The number of performance shares awardable from the 2024 grants can range from 0% to 200% of the original amount granted depending on the Company’s performance over three one-year measurement periods against the pre-established targets. Upon vesting, each restricted stock unit and performance share will be replaced with one share of common stock. The weighted average fair value of these restricted stock units and performance shares on their date of grant was $59.57 per share. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company granted 14,179 fully vested shares of common stock and 2,632 fully vested restricted stock units to the Company’s directors at a weighted average grant date fair value of $61.13. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company did not grant any options to purchase shares of common stock to employees. The Company accounts for forfeitures of restricted stock units and performance shares when forfeitures occur. The estimated fair value of the restricted stock units and performance shares is amortized over the applicable vesting periods. Stock-based compensation expense for the performance shares is based on the Company’s anticipated outcome of achieving the performance metrics. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded pre-tax stock-based compensation expense of $15.1 million and $12.9 million, respectively. Warrants In 2020 and 2021, the Company issued to U.S. Department of the Treasury (“U.S. Treasury”) warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the three Payroll Support Program Agreements and a loan agreement with U.S. Treasury. The warrants have a five-year term from the date of issuance. The weighted average grant-date fair value of these warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The current holder of the warrants exercised 706,909 warrants in August 2024. The Company settled the exercise through a net share issuance of 443,756 shares of common stock to the holder. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had an aggregate of 78,317 warrants issued and outstanding, each with an exercise price of $57.47, under the Payroll Support Program Agreements.
