NOTE 13. EQUITY TRANSACTIONS
We account for stock-based compensation expense in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation.” As a result, $44,000 and $1.4 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense has been recorded to additional paid-in capital for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017, respectively, in comparison to $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2016, respectively.
While we intend to pay regular quarterly distributions, the actual declaration of such future distributions and the establishment of the per share amount, record dates, and payment dates are subject to final determination by our Board of Directors and dependent upon future earnings, cash flows, financial and legal requirements, and other factors. The current policy of the Board of Directors is to review each of these factors on a quarterly basis to determine the appropriate amount, if any, to allocate toward a cash distribution. In recent years, distributions have been approximately 20% of Adjusted EBITDA less cash paid for capital expenditures, less cash paid for income taxes, and less cash paid for interest. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined in Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included with this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Future distributions, if any, are likely to be approximately 30% of Adjusted EBITDA less cash paid for capital expenditures, less cash paid for income taxes, and less cash paid for interest.
The following table shows distributions that have been declared and paid since January 1, 2016:
Based on the number of shares of Class A and Class B currently outstanding, we expect to pay total annual distributions of approximately $6.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2017.
