The Company recorded total non-cash compensation expense related to the RSUs and PSUs under the plans of $2.0 million and $8.4 million for the quarter and three quarters ended September 28, 2025, respectively, and $9.2 million and $22.1 million for the quarter and three quarters ended September 29, 2024, respectively, which is included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The unrecognized compensation cost related to the unvested RSUs and PSUs and the weighted average period over which such cost is expected to be recognized are as follows:

| Unrecognized Compensation Cost |  | Recognized Over a Weighted Average Period of

KK Mexico | 13 |  |  | 1.0 year
The estimated fair value of restricted stock is calculated using a market approach whereby an agreed-upon EBITDA buyout multiple is used for KK Australia and KK Mexico plans. Time-Vested Stock Options KKI issues time-vested stock options under the Omnibus Plan. The fair value of time-vested stock options was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The status of the time-vested stock options as of December 29, 2024 and changes during the first three quarters of fiscal 2025 are presented below:
