Stock-Based Compensation

8.     Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has a long-term incentive compensation program for certain Company executive officers that includes grants of performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) in addition to time-based restricted stock units (“RSU”). Under the terms of the PRSU Agreement, the number of PRSUs that may be earned depends on the extent to which performance goals for the award are achieved over a three-year performance period, as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board. As of June 30, 2023, PRSUs granted in 2023 and 2022 are being accrued at target and PRSUs granted in 2021 are being accrued above target. The different levels of accrual are commensurate with the projected performance of the respective grant.

On May 18, 2021, stockholders approved an amendment to the 2014 Omnibus Plan (the “Amendment”) authorizing an additional 1,100,000 shares available for future issuance. Including the additional shares authorized from the Amendment, 744,593 shares were available for future issuance under the 2014 Omnibus Plan at June 30, 2023.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s net income, as reported, included $0.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation costs, including the benefit or expense of phantom stock awards, and $0.1 million and $0.3 million of income tax benefit respectively, related to the stock-based compensation plans. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s net income, as reported, included $3.6 million and $4.9 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation costs, including the benefit or expense of phantom stock awards, and $0.9 million and $1.3 million of income tax benefit, respectively, related to the stock-based compensation plans.

During the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not grant any RSU or PRSUs. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company granted 235,850 and 212,811 RSU awards and 79,050 and 63,250 PRSU awards, respectively.  

The Company uses the fair value of the common stock on the date of award to measure compensation cost for restricted stock unit awards and performance restricted stock units. Compensation cost is recognized over the vesting period of the award using the straight-line method. Forfeitures are recorded in the period they occur.

As of June 30, 2023, there was $5.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to RSU and PRSU awards granted. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.7 years. The total fair value of awards vested for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, was $0.2 million, and $0.5 million, respectively. The total fair value of awards vested for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $5.2 million and $7.1 million, respectively. The vested but unissued RSU and PRSU awards consist of awards made to employees and directors who are eligible for retirement. According to the terms of these awards, which provide for vesting upon retirement, these employees and directors have no risk of forfeiture. These shares will be issued at the original contractual vesting and settlement dates.

Phantom Stock Plan: The Company maintains a non-qualified phantom stock plan as a supplement to its profit-sharing plan for officers who have achieved the designated level and completed one year of service. The Company adjusts its liability under this plan to the fair value of the shares at the end of each period.
