For RSUs with service-based vesting conditions, the fair value is calculated based upon the Company’s closing stock price on the date of grant, and the stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the applicable grant vesting term, generally three to four years. For performance stock units (“PSUs”), the awards vest based on the achievement of certain performance goals over a specified period, generally ranging from four to five years. The fair value of PSUs is calculated based on the Company’s closing stock price on the grant date. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the applicable vesting period based on the number of units expected to vest. The aggregate fair value of RSUs and PSUs vested was $2,984 and $11,889 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $1,471 and 5,814 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

In connection with the sale of the Company’s maritime business, certain employees affected by the transaction had their outstanding RSUs accelerated. This acceleration resulted in incremental stock‑based compensation expense of $0 and $1,517 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. The accelerated RSUs retained their original grant terms.

As of September 30, 2025, there was $20,655 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to options, RSUs, and PSUs expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.3 years.
