For both the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, cash dividends paid totaled $6.1 million.

On March 16, 2026, the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.17 per share of the Company’s common stock to shareholders of record as of March 31, 2026. The dividend was paid on April 10, 2026.

The Board of Directors currently intends to continue to pay quarterly dividends. However, the Company’s future dividend policy is subject to the Company’s compliance with applicable laws, and depends on, among other things, the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, level of indebtedness, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, restrictions in the Company’s debt agreements, and other factors that the Board of Directors may deem relevant. Dividend payments are not mandatory or guaranteed and no assurance is made that the Company will continue to pay a dividend in the future.

On February 19, 2020, the Board of Directors approved an expanded share repurchase authorization granting the Company authority to repurchase up to $150 million in common stock.

Share purchases may be made in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or block transactions, at the discretion of the Company’s management and as market conditions warrant. Purchases will be funded from available cash and may be commenced, suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice. Shares repurchased under the program are retired.

The Company repurchased 0.1 million shares during the three months ended March 31, 2026 for an aggregate of $5.8 million, at an average price of $53.67. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $116.9 million remaining under share repurchase authorizations.

Under the 2019 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (as amended, the 2019 Plan), the Company, upon approval of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, may grant stock options, restricted shares, restricted stock units (both time-based and performance-based) and certain other forms of equity awards, or any combination thereof, to any director, officer, employee or consultant (including any prospective director, officer, employee or consultant) of the Company. Stock options (which have not been awarded since 2015) are granted to employees with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, generally vest over a four-year period from the date of grant and typically have a term of 10 years. Time-based restricted stock units granted to employees generally vest over a three-year or four-year period from the date of grant and are subject to continued employment with the Company. Performance-based restricted stock units generally vest over a three-year performance cycle, which includes the year of the grant, and are based upon the Company’s achievement of specified performance metrics. Awards under the 2019 Plan to non-employee directors have historically been in the form of restricted stock units, which vest annually starting on the grant date. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had 0.9 million common shares available for issuance under the 2019 Plan.

All share-based payments to employees of the Company, including grants of employee stock options (last awarded in 2015), are recognized in the consolidated financial statements based on their grant date fair values. The total compensation costs recognized for stock-based awards were $5.4 million and $4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The future tax benefit of these stock-based awards as of the grant date was $0.8 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The fair value of stock option grants is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair values of restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units are determined based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. For performance-based restricted stock units, compensation cost is calculated taking into consideration the probability that the underlying performance goals will be achieved, which is monitored by management throughout the requisite service period. When it becomes probable, based on management’s expectation of the Company’s performance during the measurement period, that more or less than the previous estimate of the awarded shares will vest, an adjustment to compensation cost is recognized as a change in accounting estimate in the period the change is determined.

As of March 31, 2026, the unrecognized compensation costs and remaining weighted-average amortization periods related to stock-based awards were as follows:


(in thousands)	Time- Based Restricted Stock Units		Performance- Based Restricted Stock Units(1)
Unrecognized compensation cost	$	36,752	$	8,198
Remaining weighted-average amortization period	2.2 years		2.5 years

(1) Based on the probable achievement of the performance goals identified in each award.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, no stock options were exercised. The actual tax benefit realized as a result of vesting of share-based awards for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were $3.7 million and $2.2 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the total intrinsic value of stock options exercised was less than $0.1 million.

For performance-based restricted stock units granted during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the number of performance-based restricted stock units that will ultimately be earned will not be determined until the end of the respective performance periods, and may vary from as low as zero to as high as 2 times the target number depending on the level of achievement of certain performance goals. The level of achievement of these goals is based upon the financial results of the Company for the last full calendar year within the performance period. The performance goals consist of certain levels of achievement using the following financial metrics: for the performance-based restricted stock units granted during the three months ended March 31, 2026, revenue and earnings per share, and for the performance-based restricted stock units granted during the three months ended March 31, 2025, revenue, operating income margin, and operating cash flow. If the performance goals are not met based on the Company’s financial results, the applicable performance-based restricted stock units will not vest and will be forfeited. Shares subject to forfeited performance-based restricted stock units will be available for re-issuance under the 2019 Plan.
