Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] |
Equity and Stock-Based Compensation | Note 9. Equity and Stock-Based Compensation Stock Repurchase Activity On April 9, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program to acquire up to $15.0 million of its common stock. Any repurchases under the program will be made from time to time on the open market at prevailing market prices. On April 1, 2021, the Board of Directors approved an extension and expansion of this stock repurchase program up to $25.0 million of its common shares, expiring April 9, 2023. On March 3, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a two-year extension of this stock repurchase plan. On April 9, 2024, the Board of Directors approved an additional expansion of this stock repurchase program to up to $55 million of the Company’s common shares. As of December 31, 2024, the Company has repurchased 1.8 million shares of its common stock for a total cost of $27.8 million. Stock-Based Compensation On October 30, 2013, the Board of Directors adopted, and on December 27, 2013, the stockholders approved, the 2013 Stock-Based Incentive Compensation Plan, which was subsequently renamed the 2023 Stock-Based Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2023 Plan”), which was subsequently amended at the 2019, 2021 and 2023 annual meetings of stockholders to increase the total number of shares of common stock authorized for grant. The Company’s stock-based compensation program is a broad-based program designed to attract and retain employees while also aligning employees’ interests with the interests of the Company's stockholders. In addition, members of the Board of Directors participate in the stock-based compensation program in connection with their service on the board. Stock option awards outstanding under the 2023 Plan are time-based and granted at exercise prices which are equal to the market value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date and expire no later than ten years from the date of grant, but only to the extent they have vested. The options generally vest as specified in the option agreements subject, in some instances, to acceleration in certain circumstances. The restrictions on restricted stock generally lapse over a three-year period from the date of the grant. In the event a participant terminates employment with the Company, any vested stock options, and any restricted stock still subject to restrictions are generally forfeited if they are not exercised within 90 days. The following table presents the stock activity and the total number of shares available for grant as of December 31, 2024:
|  | (in thousands) |
Balance at December 31, 2023 |  |  | 1,059 |
Options cancelled |  |  | 7 |
Restricted stock granted |  |  | (214 | )
Forfeited/ Expired restricted stock added back |  |  | 46 |
Performance-Based restricted stock unearned |  |  | 1 |
Performance-Based restricted stock granted |  |  | (171 | )
Balance at December 31, 2024 |  |  | 728 |
Total estimated stock-based compensation expense for employees and non-employees, related to all of the Company's stock-based units, was comprised as follows:
|  | Year ended December 31, |
|  | 2024 |  |  | 2023 |  |  | 2022 |
|  | (in thousands) |
Cost of revenue |  | $ | 727 |  |  | $ | 824 |  |  | $ | 433 |
Selling and marketing |  |  | 1,928 |  |  |  | 2,475 |  |  |  | 2,028 |
Research and development |  |  | 1,532 |  |  |  | 1,870 |  |  |  | 1,444 |
General and administrative |  |  | 1,985 |  |  |  | 6,814 |  |  |  | 4,079 |
Total stock-based compensation |  | $ | 6,172 |  |  | $ | 11,983 |  |  | $ | 7,984 |
Forfeitures on option grants are estimated at 10% based on evaluation of historical and expected future turnover for non-executives and 0% for executives. Stock-based compensation expense was recorded net of estimated forfeitures, such that expense was recorded only for those stock-based awards that are expected to vest. The Company reviews this assumption periodically and will adjust it if it is not representative of future forfeiture data and trends within employee types (executive vs. non-executive). On May 1, 2023, the Company announced that the Company and Juergen Stark, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company, agreed that Mr. Stark would not continue as Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company, with his employment to terminate effective as of the close of business on June 30, 2023. On May 2, 2023, the Company entered into a separation agreement with Mr. Stark, resulting in an acceleration of the total stock-based compensation associated with equity awards granted to him. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded a total of $4.0 million in stock-based compensation expenses and related payroll that would not have been recognized if Mr. Stark had not announced his retirement. The associated tax benefit recognized on the consolidated statements of operations for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 was approximately $0.4 million, $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

As of December 31, 2024, total unrecognized compensation cost related to the nonvested restricted stock units granted was $6.4 million, which is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted average vesting period of 2.0 years. Performance-Based Restricted Share Units As of December 31, 2024, the Company had 253,395 performance-based restricted share units outstanding. On April 1, 2024, the Company granted 171,393 PSUs to certain executives, of which 50% vest based on achievement of defined Company stock price appreciation over the period of April 1, 2024 through May 9, 2025, and 50% vest based on defined Adjusted EBITDA targets for the period commencing on the second fiscal quarter in 2024 through the first fiscal quarter of 2025. The awards granted on April 1, 2024 are also subject to three year time-based vesting periods with the ability to earn and vest into such units ranging from 0% to 175% of the granted PSUs (200% max for stock price achievement and 150% max for Adjusted EBITDA achievement). The remaining 82,002 PSUs outstanding were granted to executives on April 1, 2023 and 2022, and will vest over a three-year period from the respective grant dates based on (i) the amount by which revenue growth exceeds a defined baseline market growth each year and (ii) the achievement of specified tiers of Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net revenue each year, with the ability to earn and vest into such units ranging from 0% to 200% of the granted PSUs. Included in the Company’s share-based compensation was expense recognized for the Company’s performance-based restricted share unit awards of $1.4 million in 2024 and $1.7 million in 2023. There was no stock-based compensation expense recorded in 2022 as the performance conditions were not achieved. Warrants As of December 31, 2024, the Company had 550,000 wholly-funded warrants related to a series of transactions pursuant to which the previously outstanding Series B Preferred Stock were retired. The warrants do not expire.
