Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]  
Value Appreciation Pool Value Appreciation Pool
The Value Appreciation Pool ("VAP") is a long-term incentive compensation plan that rewarded employees with 10% of the increase in the multiple of the Company's estimated fair market value to GAAP shareholders' equity between the December 1, 2020 VAP inception date and the Company's Initial Public Offering on November 10, 2023.

As a then nonpublic company, the VAP was initially measured at intrinsic value and no compensation cost was recorded over the period December 1, 2020 to March 31, 2023. On May 15, 2023, the Company became a public business entity and the VAP was remeasured at fair value. The fair value of the compensation cost was estimated at each reporting date and expensed over the period for which the employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, with any changes recorded in compensation expense by a cumulative catch-up adjustment.

In the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company consummated an IPO of its Class B common shares and, on November 10, 2023, closed its first day of trading. In accordance with the Compensation Committee's decision that the VAP award would be settled in shares if triggered by an IPO, the VAP became subject to equity award accounting. The VAP RSUs vest in two tranches, subject to continued service: 50% on each of the first and second anniversaries of the November 10, 2023 trigger event. Participants who leave prior to vesting forfeit any previously unsettled portion of their awards.

The Company recorded a compensation expense of $1.9 million and $11.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company recorded a compensation expense of $7.5 million and $15.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Of the total expense recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, $4.2 million was recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings in "Share compensation expense" in the second quarter of 2023.
