Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]  
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company grants stock-based compensation awards under the Amended and Restated 2016 Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2016 LTIP"). We have granted stock options, restricted stock units with time-based vesting ("RSUs"), and restricted stock units with performance-based vesting ("PSUs"). Awards granted under the 2016 LTIP vest over the periods determined by the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, which has the discretion to establish the terms, conditions and criteria of the various awards. The RSUs granted to eligible employees and non-employees generally vest in installments over a period of up to three years. PSUs will vest upon the achievement of a defined performance target or market conditions for the Company's common stock or certain operational milestones over a prescribed period.
On May 8, 2025, the Company's stockholders approved an amendment to the 2016 LTIP that increased the number of shares available for issuance under the 2016 LTIP by an additional 4,900,000 shares. As of September 30, 2025, approximately 1.6 million shares of our common stock were available for future grants under the 2016 LTIP.
Stock-based compensation expense recognized for restricted stock units and stock options granted to employees and non-employees is included in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations, net of adjustments. There were no income tax benefits recognized on the stock-based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024.

On February 20, 2025, the Company amended certain previously granted PSUs that could settle in up to 2,462,445 shares of its common stock and would only vest if the Company achieves certain financial performance targets for fiscal year 2025. The amendment eliminated one of the financial performance targets.
On May 14, 2025, the Company granted PSUs to a certain employee that could settle in up to (i) 65,000 shares of its common stock that will vest only if the Company achieves a certain operational milestone prior to January 1, 2027; and (ii) 50,000 shares of its common stock and will vest only if the Company achieves certain financial performance targets for fiscal year 2025.
On June 11, 2025, the Company granted PSUs containing stock price market conditions to certain employees that could settle in up to 1,060,000 shares of its common stock. These PSUs will vest, in whole or in part, only if the Company's closing common stock price remains at or above certain specified stock prices for 50 consecutive days prior to January 1, 2027.
On June 11, 2025, the Company also granted to certain executives PSUs that were market conditions dependent on total shareholder return ("TSR"), that could settle in up to 2,206,163 shares of its common stock. The vesting criteria for these awards are based on the Company's TSR performance relative to the TSR performance of the Company's current compensation peer group as of the grant date over the three-year performance period, June 1, 2025, through May 31, 2028, and conditioned upon neutral or positive free cash flow (i.e. cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditure) at the end of each fiscal year 2025, 2026, and 2027. The final payout of these PSUs will vary between 0% to 200% of the target number of PSUs granted, depending on the TSR performance and meeting the free cash flow requirements.
For the Company's stock-based compensation awards subject to market conditions, the grant date fair value per share is based on a Monte Carlo simulation method. The expenses for these awards are recognized over the derived service period as determined through the Monte Carlo simulation model (as defined below).
For the awards subject to stock price market conditions, the Monte Carlo approach uses a class of computational algorithms that rely on repeated random sampling to compute their results. This approach allows the calculation of the value of such PSUs based on a large number of possible stock price path scenarios. The risk-free rate is based on a zero-coupon yield from the Treasury Constant Maturities yield curve at the time of grant over the performance period. Our key assumptions include a performance period of 1.56 years, an expected volatility of 97.5%, and a risk-free rate of 3.9%. The fair value for these stock price market condition PSUs at the grant date ranges between $1.17 – $1.51, and the derived service period ranges between 0.8 – 0.94 years.
For the awards subject to TSR market conditions, the Monte Carlo simulation simulates a distribution of stock prices for the Company and its current compensation peer group throughout the remaining performance period based on certain assumptions of stock price performance. Monte Carlo valuations of relative TSR PSUs depend on two sets of prices: realized performance and simulated performance. Our key assumptions include a performance period of 2.97 years, an expected volatility of 114.7%, and a risk-free rate of 3.8%. The fair value for these relative TSR market condition PSUs at the grant date was $4.82.
As of September 30, 2025, and 2024, the intrinsic value of the RSUs and PSUs outstanding, exercisable, and vested or expected to vest was $105.0 million and $45.8 million, respectively. There was approximately $17.8 million of total compensation costs related to stock-based awards not yet recognized as of September 30, 2025, which is expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over a weighted-average remaining vesting period of 0.5 years.

The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying stock option awards and the quoted closing price of the Company's common stock as of September 30, 2025.
The fair value of the stock options, including the stock options granted to directors, is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of one year, as the annual stockholders meeting is expected to occur at the same approximate time each year. As of September 30, 2025, there were no unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested stock options.
