Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]  
SHARE-BASED PLANS SHARE-BASED PLANS
We have issued RSUs, PSUs, SVCA PSUs, and TSR PSUs under our shareholder-approved equity compensation plans. We recognized share-based compensation expense of $4.4 million and $3.9 million in the second quarter of 2023 and the second quarter of 2022, respectively, and $8.5 million and $7.5 million for the year-to-date 2023 and the year-to-date 2022, respectively.

Non-vested Restricted Stock Units
The following table summarizes the non-vested RSU activity for the year-to-date 2023:
Number of SharesWeighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value Per Share
Outstanding non-vested RSUs at January 28, 2023875,503 $34.75 
Granted1,354,505 $13.40 
Vested(308,051)$29.28 
Forfeited(45,949)$29.99 
Outstanding non-vested RSUs at April 29, 20231,876,008 $20.35 
Granted228,662 $8.71

Forfeited(63,066)$20.12 
Outstanding non-vested RSUs at July 29, 20231,982,781 $18.68 

The non-vested RSUs granted in the year-to-date 2023 generally vest, and are expensed, on a ratable basis over three years from the grant date of the award, if the grantee remains employed by us through the vesting dates. The RSUs granted in 2023 have no required financial performance objectives.

Non-vested Restricted Stock Units Granted to Non-Employee Directors
In the second quarter of 2023, 46,937 common shares underlying the restricted stock units granted in 2022 to the non-employee directors vested on the trading day immediately preceding our 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (“2023 Annual Meeting”). These units were part of the annual compensation of the non-employee directors of the Board. In the second quarter of 2023, the chairman of our Board received an annual restricted stock unit grant having a grant date fair value of approximately $245,000 and the remaining non-employees elected to our Board at our 2023 Annual Meeting each received an annual restricted stock unit grant having a grant date fair value of approximately $145,000. The 2023 restricted stock units will vest on the earlier of (1) the trading day immediately preceding our 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, or (2) the non-employee director’s death or disability. However, the non-employee directors will forfeit their restricted stock units if their service on the Board terminates before either vesting event occurs.

Performance Share Units
In the year-to-date 2023, we issued PSUs to certain members of management, which will vest if certain minimum financial performance objectives are achieved over a three-year performance period and the grantee remains employed by us during the performance period. The minimum financial performance objectives will be established for each fiscal year within the three-year performance period and are generally approved by the Human Capital and Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors during the first quarter of the respective fiscal year. Based on the uncertain macroeconomic environment and a wide range of potential outcomes, the Committee chose to defer establishment of the financial performance objectives for 2023 to later in the fiscal year.

In the third quarter of 2023, the Committee established the financial performance objectives for the 2023 fiscal year, which apply to the 2021 PSUs, 2022 PSUs, and the 2023 PSUs awards.

The 2023 PSU awards were issued with three distinct annual minimum financial performance objectives. The annual minimum financial performance objectives for the fiscal years 2024 and 2025 are expected to be set at the beginning of each of the respective fiscal years. As a result of the process used to establish the minimum financial performance objectives, we may meet the requirements for establishing a grant date for the 2023 PSUs when we communicate the financial performance objectives
for 2023 to the award recipients, which will then trigger the service inception date, the fair value of the awards, and the associated expense recognition period. If we meet the applicable minimum threshold financial performance objectives in any of the three performance periods and the grantee remains employed by us through the end of the performance period, the PSUs will vest on the first trading day after we file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the last fiscal year in the three-year performance period.

In 2021 and 2022, we issued PSUs to certain members of management, which will vest if certain financial performance objectives are achieved over a three-year performance period and the grantee remains employed by us during the performance period. The financial performance objectives for each fiscal year within the three-year performance period are generally approved by the Human Capital and Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors during the first quarter of the respective fiscal year.

As a result of the process used to establish the financial performance objectives, we will only meet the requirements for establishing a grant date for PSUs issued in 2021 and 2022 when we communicate the financial performance objectives for the third fiscal year of the award to the award recipients, which will then trigger the service inception date, the fair value of the awards, and the associated expense recognition period. If we meet the applicable threshold financial performance objectives over the three-year performance period and the grantee remains employed by us through the end of the performance period, the PSUs will vest on the first trading day after we file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the last fiscal year in the performance period.

The number of shares distributed upon vesting of the 2021 and 2022 PSUs depends on the average performance attained during the three-year performance period compared to the performance targets established by the Human Capital and Compensation Committee, and may result in the distribution of an amount of shares that is greater or less than the number of 2021 and 2022 PSUs granted, as defined in the award agreement.

In 2022 and the year-to-date 2023, we also awarded TSR PSUs to certain members of management, which vest based on the achievement of total shareholder return (“TSR”) targets relative to a peer group over a three-year performance period and require the grantee to remain employed by us through the end of the performance period. If we meet the applicable performance thresholds over the three-year performance period and the grantee remains employed by us through the end of the performance period, the TSR PSUs will vest on the first trading day after we file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the last fiscal year in the performance period. We use a Monte Carlo simulation to estimate the fair value of the TSR PSUs on the grant date and recognize expense over the service period. The TSR PSUs have a contractual period of three years.

The number of shares distributed upon vesting of the TSR PSUs depends on the average performance attained during the three-year performance period compared to the performance targets established by the Human Capital and Compensation Committee, and may result in the distribution of an amount of shares that is greater or less than the number of TSR PSUs granted, as defined in the award agreement.

In the year-to-date 2023, we also awarded SVCA PSUs to certain members of management, which vest based on the achievement of multiple share price performance goals over a three-year contractual term and require the grantee to remain employed by us through the end of the contractual term. We use a Monte Carlo simulation to estimate the fair value of the SVCA PSUs on the grant date and recognize expense ratably over the service period. If we meet the applicable performance thresholds over the three-year performance period and the grantee remains employed by us through the end of the contractual term, the SVCA PSUs will vest at the end of the contractual term. If the share price performance goals applicable to the SVCA PSUs are not achieved prior to expiration, the unvested portion of the awards will be forfeited.
We have begun or expect to begin recognizing expense related to PSUs, TSR PSUs, and SVCA PSUs as follows:

We recognized $0.4 million and $0.3 million of share-based compensation expense related to SVCA PSUs and TSR PSUs in the second quarter of 2023 and the second quarter of 2022, respectively, and $0.8 million and $0.4 million of share-based compensation expense related to SVCA PSUs and TSR PSUs in the year-to-date 2023 and the year-to-date 2022, respectively. As of July 29, 2023, financial performance objectives have not been set for the 2021 PSUs, 2022 PSUs, and the 2023 PSUs. As a result, there were no PSUs outstanding at July 29, 2023.

The total unearned compensation expense related to all share-based awards outstanding, excluding PSUs issued in 2021, 2022, and 2023, at July 29, 2023, was approximately $30.8 million. We expect to recognize this compensation cost through June 2026 based on existing vesting terms with the weighted-average remaining expense recognition period being approximately 2.2 years from July 29, 2023.
