7. Share-Based Compensation

The Company has share-based compensation plans, which are more fully described in Note 9, Share-Based Compensation, to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2024 10-K. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company granted its executives stock appreciation rights, or SARs, subject to service conditions and restricted stock units subject to service and performance conditions, or performance stock units.

Share-based compensation expense amounted to $11.6 million and $11.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of March 31, 2025, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to all non-vested stock awards was $60.2 million and the related weighted-average period over which it is expected to be recognized is approximately 1.7 years.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company granted SARs with service conditions to its executives which generally vest over a two to three-year period. The fair value of all these SARs was determined on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. These grants are included in the table below.
