Weighted-average assumptions used for options
The fair value of options without market conditions is estimated on the grant date using a Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. The following weighted-average assumptions were used for options granted in 2025, 2024 and 2023:

(a)The expected volatility is based on historical and implied volatilities of our common stock price.
(b)The expected life of stock options was determined using historical option exercise behavior.
Weighted-average remaining contractual life and aggregate intrinsic value of stock options
The weighted-average remaining contractual life and the aggregate intrinsic value (the amount by which the fair value of our stock price exceeds the exercise price of the option) of the stock options outstanding, exercisable, and vested and expected to vest as of December 31, 2025, were as follows:
