Stock-based compensation expense totaled $0.9 million and $1.5 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and is included in general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, stock-based compensation expense totaled $1.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively. Net stock-based compensation activity during the three months ended March 31, 2023 resulted in a reduction to expense due to the forfeiture of certain options as well as the revised estimates on the expected PSU achievement.

The following table presents a summary of the Company’s outstanding RSUs and PSUs, assuming the current estimated level of performance achievement:


	June 30, 2024
	(in thousands, except period)
Unvested units	1,660
Remaining cost on unvested units	$	3,130
Remaining vesting period	2.91 years

Stock-based compensation expense associated with the outstanding RSUs and PSUs is measured using the grant date fair value which is based on the closing price as of the grant date. The expense associated with the PSUs also incorporates the estimated achievement of the established performance criteria at the end of each reporting period until the performance period ends.
