Stock-Based Compensation

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2025

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]

We recorded stock-based compensation expense of $6 million ($4 million, net of tax) and $7 million ($5 million, net of tax) during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

As part of our declaration and payment of a special cash dividend in December 2023, we granted additional restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to our award holders with unvested shares as a dividend equivalent, which has been deferred until, and will not be paid unless, the shares of stock underlying the award vest.

The activity related to stock units consisted of (in thousands of shares):


	Number of Shares	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in millions)
Time-based RSUs
Outstanding at January 1, 2025	306	$	143.25
Granted (a)	280	62.64
Vested (b)	(70)	155.33
Forfeited	(4)	149.77
Outstanding and expected to vest at March 31, 2025 (c)	512	$	97.36	1.6	$	39
Performance-based RSUs
Outstanding at January 1, 2025	315	$	159.62
Granted (a)	428	62.64
Vested (b)	(61)	194.23
Forfeited	(81)	157.61

Outstanding and expected to vest at March 31, 2025 (c)	326	$	70.28	2.1	$	25
