Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Text Block] | Note 9. Stock-based Compensation The Company’s stockholders approved the 2017 Equity Compensation Plan (“the Plan”) on May 23, 2017. The Plan eliminates all remaining issuable shares under previous plans and is the only outstanding plan as of September 30, 2024. On May 30, 2023, the Company's stockholders approved an amendment to the Plan that increased the maximum number of shares issuable to 1,200,000. Grants under the Plan can be in the form of stock options (qualified or non-qualified), restricted shares, deferred stock units or performance units. Shares available for grant and issuance under the Plan as of September 30, 2024 were approximately 336,584. The Company intends to issue all shares under the Plan in the form of newly issued shares. As of both September 30, 2024 and December, 31, 2023, the Company did not have any outstanding stock options. Restricted stock and deferred stock units typically have a three-year vesting period starting one year after the date of grant with one-third vesting each year, with accelerated vesting upon a change in control. Restricted stock and deferred stock units granted to new employees and board members may be granted with shorter vesting periods. Grants of performance units typically have a cliff vesting after three years or upon a change of control. All issuances are subject to forfeiture if the recipient is no longer employed prior to the award's vesting. Any forfeitures would result in previously recognized expense being reversed. Restricted stock grants have the same dividend and voting rights as common stock, while options, performance units and deferred stock units do not. All awards are issued at the fair value of the underlying shares on the grant date. The Company expenses the cost of the awards, which is determined to be the fair market value of the awards at the date of grant, ratably, over the vesting or measurement period. Forfeiture rates are not estimated but are recorded as incurred. Stock-based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $1.1 and $3.2 million respectively. Stock-based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $1.3 million and $3.6 million, respectively. Activity in the Company’s restricted stock for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was as follows:
|  | Nonvested Shares |  |  | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value |
Nonvested as of December 31, 2023 |  |  | 115,805 |  |  | $ | 17.85 |
Granted |  |  | 71,843 |  |  |  | 18.93 |
Vested |  |  | (76,770 | ) |  |  | 18.42 |
Forfeited/cancelled/expired |  |  | (2,638 | ) |  |  | 18.97 |
Nonvested as of September 30, 2024 |  |  | 108,240 |  |  | $ | 18.14 |
As of September 30, 2024, there was approximately $1.0 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested restricted stock granted. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.2 years. A summary of the status of unearned performance unit awards and the change during the period is presented in the table below:
|  | Units (expected) |  |  | Units (maximum) |  |  | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value |
Unearned as of December 31, 2023 |  |  | 164,231 |  |  |  |  |  |  | $ | 23.06 |
Awarded |  |  | 91,691 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 19.01 |
Change in estimate |  |  | (10,774 | ) |  |  |  |  |  |  | 11.93 |
Vested shares |  |  | (53,041 | ) |  |  |  |  |  |  | 25.24 |
Forfeited/cancelled/expired |  |  | (10,260 | ) |  |  |  |  |  |  | 23.10 |
Unearned as of September 30, 2024 |  |  | 181,847 |  |  |  | 302,196 |  |  | $ | 21.04 |
As of September 30, 2024, the specific number of shares related to performance units that were expected to vest was 181,847, determined by actual performance in consideration of the established range of the performance targets, which is consistent with the level of expense currently being recognized over the vesting period. Should this expectation change, additional compensation expense could be recorded in future periods or previously recognized expense could be reversed. As of September 30, 2024, the maximum amount of performance units that ultimately could vest if performance targets were exceeded is 302,196. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, 53,041 shares vested. A total of 28,971 shares were netted from the vested shares to satisfy employee tax obligations. The net shares issued from vesting of performance units during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were 24,070 shares. As of September 30, 2024, compensation cost of approximately $1.8 million related to non-vested performance units not yet recognized is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years. A summary of the status of unearned deferred stock units and the changes in deferred stock units during the period is presented in the table below:
|  | Units (expected) |  |  | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value |
Unearned as of December 31, 2023 |  |  | 188,348 |  |  | $ | 22.11 |
Awarded |  |  | 81,736 |  |  |  | 19.01 |
Vested shares |  |  | (80,889 | ) |  |  | 23.05 |
Forfeited/cancelled/expired |  |  | (7,360 | ) |  |  | 21.53 |
Unearned as of September 30, 2024 |  |  | 181,835 |  |  | $ | 20.32 |
Any forfeitures would result in previously recognized expense being reversed. A portion of the shares that vest will be netted out to satisfy the tax obligations of the recipient. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, 80,889 shares vested. A total of 43,347 shares were netted from the vested shares to satisfy employee tax obligations. The net shares issued from vesting of deferred stock units during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were 37,542 shares. As of September 30, 2024, compensation cost of approximately $1.6 million related to non-vested deferred stock units, not yet recognized, is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years.
