Stock-Based and Other Compensation |
Note 12. Stock-Based Compensation and Equity Stock-Based Compensation We maintain several stock-based compensation plans, which are more fully described in the 2012 Annual Report. There have been no significant changes to the terms and conditions of any of our stock-based compensation plans or arrangements during 2013, other than as described below. Total compensation expense net of forfeitures for our stock-based compensation plans was $7.9 million and $10.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $25.5 million and $19.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, all of which was included in General and administrative expenses in the consolidated financial statements. Stock-based compensation expense during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same periods in 2012 decreased by $4.0 million and increased by $1.7 million, respectively, as a result of an upward revision in the third quarter of 2012 and the first quarter of 2013 in the estimated payout of performance stock units (“PSUs”) that were granted during 2011 and 2012. Stock-based compensation expense also increased by $2.5 million and $3.7 million, respectively, due to changes in our forfeiture rate assumptions in the third quarter of 2012; and increased by $0.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively, because the new awards granted in 2013 have a higher grant date fair value than previously-issued awards. Nonvested restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and PSUs at September 30, 2013 and changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were as follows: | | | | | | | | | | | RSA and RSU Awards | | PSU Awards | | | | Weighted Average | | | | Weighted Average | | | | Grant Date | | | | Grant Date | | Shares | | Fair Value | | Shares | | Fair Value | Nonvested at January 1, 2013 | 594,194 | | $ | 37.15 | | 999,513 | | $ | 34.55 | Granted (a) (b) | 185,015 | | | 57.69 | | 86,189 | | | 84.33 | Vested (c) | (233,098) | | | 37.11 | | (324,161) | | | 39.48 | Forfeited | (26,503) | | | 43.05 | | (30,108) | | | 51.13 | Adjustment (d) | - | | | - | | 322,880 | | | 52.72 | Nonvested at September 30, 2013 (e) | 519,608 | | $ | 43.54 | | 1,054,313 | | $ | 48.48 | | | | | | | | | | |
____________ - The grant date fair value of RSAs and RSUs are based on our stock price on the date of grant. The grant date fair value of PSUs were determined by utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation model to generate a range of possible future stock prices for both us and the plan defined peer index over the three-year performance period. To estimate the fair value of PSUs granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we used a risk-free interest rate of 0.37% and an expected volatility rate of 25.36% (the plan defined peer index assumes 24.83%) and assumed a dividend yield of zero.
- In July 2013, we issued 13,211 RSAs, with a total value of $0.9 million, to our directors under the 2009 Non-Employee Directors' Incentive Plan in lieu of the RSUs that had been granted in previous years, as permitted under the terms of that plan. These RSAs are scheduled to vest one year from the date of grant.
- The total fair value of shares vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $24.2 million.
- Vesting and payment of the PSUs is conditional on certain company and market performance goals being met during the relevant three-year performance period. The ultimate number of PSUs to be vested will depend on the extent to which the performance goals are met and can range from zero to three times the original awards. Pursuant to a review of our current and expected performance versus the performance goals, we revised our estimate of the ultimate number of certain of the PSUs to be vested. As a result, we recorded adjustments in 2013 to reflect the number of shares expected to be issued when the PSUs vest.
- At September 30, 2013, total unrecognized compensation expense was approximately $17.8 million related to nonvested PSUs, $16.3 million related to nonvested RSUs and $0.7 million related to nonvested RSAs.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, 135,984 stock options were exercised with an aggregate intrinsic value of $4.8 million. In July 2013, our stockholders approved an additional 2,300,000 shares of common stock to be available for issuance under the 2009 Share Incentive Plan. Earnings Per Share Under current authoritative guidance for determining earnings per share, all unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to distributions are considered to be participating securities and therefore are included in the computation of earnings per share under the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common shares and participating security according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Our unvested RSUs and RSAs contain rights to receive non-forfeitable distribution equivalents, and therefore we apply the two-class method of computing earnings per share. The calculation of earnings per share below excludes the income attributable to the unvested RSUs and RSAs from the numerator. The following table summarizes basic and diluted earnings (in thousands, except share amounts): | | | | | | | | | | | | | Three Months Ended September 30, | | Nine Months Ended September 30, | | 2013 | | 2012 | | 2013 | | 2012 | Net income attributable to W.

Securities totaling 105,920 shares associated with the Redeemable noncontrolling interest were excluded from the earnings per share computations above as their effect would have been anti-dilutive for the three months ended September 30, 2013.There were no such anti-dilutive securities for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest We account for the noncontrolling interest in WPCI held by a third party as a redeemable noncontrolling interest, as we have an obligation to repurchase the interest at fair value, subject to certain conditions. This obligation is required to be settled in shares of our common stock. The third-party interest is reflected at estimated redemption value for all periods presented. On October 1, 2013, we received a notice from the holder of the noncontrolling interest in WPCI regarding the exercise of the put option, pursuant to which we are required to purchase the third-party's 7.7% interest in WPCI. Pursuant to the terms of the related put agreement, the purchase price is to be determined based on a third-party valuation as of October 31, 2013, which is the end of the month that the put option was exercised. The agreement also requires that we and the noncontrolling interest holder agree on both the valuation firm and the valuation methodology. We cannot currently estimate when the redemption will occur. The following table presents a reconciliation of redeemable noncontrolling interest (in thousands): | | | | | | | Nine Months Ended September 30, | | 2013 | | 2012 | Balance - beginning of period | $ | 7,531 | | $ | 7,700 | Redemption value adjustment | | - | | | 79 | Net income (loss) | | 139 | | | (146) | Distributions | | (354) | | | (1,014) | Change in other comprehensive income | | - | | | 4 | Balance - end of period | $ | 7,316 | | $ | 6,623 | | | | | | |
