STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Equity Incentive Plan

In May 2021, the Company’s board of directors adopted, and the stockholders approved, the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2021 Plan") with the purpose of granting stock-based awards, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, RSAs, RSUs, performance awards and other forms of awards, to employees, directors, and consultants. A total of 30,962,615 shares of common stock were authorized for issuance under the 2021 Plan. As of December 31, 2021, a total of 26,286,192 shares of common stock were available for issuance under the 2021 Plan. No options have been issued under the 2021 Plan.

In June 2014, the Company adopted the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”), which was amended in April 2020 to increase the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance. The 2014 Plan provides for the issuance of incentive and non-statutory stock options to purchase common shares and the grant of other common stock awards to employees, officers, consultants, and directors of the Company. The 2014 Plan served as the successor to the Company’s 2012 and 2004 Plans. On the date the Company adopted the 2014 Plan, any options issued and outstanding under the 2012 and 2004 Plans were substituted by options with identical terms to purchase the Company’s common stock under the 2014 Plan. On the date the 2021 Plan was adopted, no further shares could be issued under the 2014 Plan, however all shares outstanding under the 2014 Plan remain subject to the terms of the 2014 Plan. Options issued under the 2014 Plan generally are exercisable for periods not to exceed 10 years and generally vest over a four to five-year period. The Company issues new shares upon exercise of stock-based awards.

 Stock options

No stock options were granted during 2021 or 2020. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the fair value of each stock option was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

 

Risk-free interest rate

 

1.4% to 2.2%

 

Expected term (in years)

 

5.4

 

Estimated dividend yield

 

0%

 

Estimated weighted-average volatility

 

39% to 41%

 

 

Use of the Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires the input of subjective assumptions. The assumptions used in the Company’s option-pricing model represent management’s best estimates and are as follows:

Fair value of common stock

Prior to the IPO, given the Company’s common stock was not publicly traded, its board of directors exercised significant judgment in determining the fair value of its common stock with input from management, based on several objective and subjective factors. Factors considered by the Company’s board of directors include the price paid by investors for its common and preferred stock, actual and forecasted operating and financial performance, market conditions, performance of comparable publicly traded companies and transactions of comparable companies, developments and milestones within the Company, the rights, preferences, and privileges of its common and preferred stock, the likelihood of achieving a liquidating event, and the results of contemporaneous third-party valuations. The fair value was determined in accordance with applicable elements of the practice aid issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, Valuation of Privately Held Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation.

Expected term

The expected term of employee stock options represents the weighted-average period that the stock options are expected to remain outstanding. The expected term assumptions were determined based upon actual historical exercises and post-vesting cancelations, adjusted for expected future exercises.

Expected volatility

The expected volatility of stock options is estimated based upon the historical volatility of a group of publicly traded companies, selected by management, which are in similar stages of development and comparable industries for a period commensurate with the expected term.

Risk-free interest rate

The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for zero-coupon U.S. Treasury notes with maturities approximately equal to the option’s expected term.

Dividend yield

The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends and does not presently plan to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, an expected dividend yield of zero was utilized.

The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $9.17 per share. No options were granted in 2021 or 2020. 

As of December 31, 2021, the total unrecognized stock-based compensation cost for unvested stock options was $12.2 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.1 years. As of December 31, 2020, the total unrecognized stock-based compensation cost for unvested stock options was $31.9 million, which was expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years.

Restricted stock units

    In 2018, the Company began issuing RSUs to certain employees, officers, non-employee consultants, and directors. The RSUs granted prior to the IPO vest upon the satisfaction of both a service and a performance condition, if both conditions are met before the award’s expiration date. For certain awards the performance condition was satisfied solely on the effective date of a registration statement for our IPO and for other awards the performance condition was satisfied on the earlier of either the effective date of a registration statement for our IPO or a change in control. RSUs granted with service vesting conditions, generally vest over four years on either a quarterly or annual vesting schedule. Prior to the Company’s IPO, the grant date fair value of RSUs was determined based upon the fair value of the Company’s common stock as described above under stock options. Subsequent to the completion of the Company’s IPO in May 2021, the fair value of RSUs was determined based on the trading price of our publicly traded common stock. The grant date fair value of RSUs granted during 2021, 2020, and 2019 was $350.6 million, $132.4 million and $32.2 million, respectively.

Prior to the effective date of the registration statement for our IPO, achievement of the performance conditions was not probable. Upon the effective date of the registration statement for the IPO, the performance vesting condition for all RSUs granted was satisfied and the Company recognized on a graded vesting basis a cumulative catch-up stock-based compensation adjustment of $115.3 million in its consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the portion of the service period satisfied from the grant date through the effective date of the registration statement. All RSUs granted subsequent to the IPO vest based on continued service, which is generally over four years. The intrinsic value of RSUs vested during the year ended December 31, 2021 was $187.7 million.   

As of December 31, 2021, the total unrecognized stock-based compensation cost for all RSUs outstanding at that date was $281.0 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average vesting period of 2.0 years.

 During 2021, we granted an aggregate of 1,024,946 RSUs in connection with the acquisitions of Levelset, LaborChart, and Indus at grant date fair values ranging from $64.55 to $100.10 per share, for a total grant date fair value of $90.6 million. These RSUs are included in the number of shares granted during 2021 and are accounted for as post-acquisition stock-based compensation expense as they vest over a period of four years based on continued employment.

Restricted stock awards

In November 2021, the Company issued 199,670 RSAs to certain key Levelset employees in connection with the acquisition of Levelset that vest based on their continued services over a two-year period. The fair value of the RSAs issued was $95.05 per share, which was the closing trading stock price of the Company’s common stock on the acquisition date. These shares are released from restriction quarterly over a two-year period assuming the continued service of the employees. As of December 31, 2021, no shares have vested. During 2021, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $1.6 million relating to these shares.

In July 2019, the Company issued 205,464 restricted Series H-1 redeemable convertible preferred stock awards (“Series H-1 RSAs”) to certain employees at a grant date fair value of $26.75 in connection with the acquisition of Honest Buildings. These shares were released from restriction 50% on the first anniversary and 50% on the second anniversary of the acquisition date based on the continued service of the employees. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, 205,464 and 102,732 of the Series H-1 RSAs have vested, respectively. Upon the closing of the IPO, the Series H-1 RSAs automatically converted into shares of restricted common stock on a one-for-one basis. During the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $1.6 million and $2.7 million, respectively, for these shares.

Sales of common stock

During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, certain of the Company’s investors acquired outstanding common stock from the Company’s employees. For the shares acquired at a price in excess of the estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $5.5 million during the period from January 1, 2021 through the Company’s IPO on May 20, 2021 and $21.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2020, for the difference between the price paid by the investors and the estimated fair value on the date of the transactions.          

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In May 2021, the Company’s board of directors adopted, and the stockholders approved, the ESPP, which became effective immediately prior to the effective date of the Company's IPO. A total of 2,600,000 shares of common stock were initially reserved for issuance under the ESPP. The number of shares of our common stock reserved for issuance under the ESPP will automatically increase on January 1 of each year for a period of ten years, beginning on January 1, 2022 and continuing through January 1, 2031, by the lesser of (i) 1% of the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding on December 31 of the immediately preceding year; and (ii) 3,900,000 shares, except before the date of any such increase, our board of directors may determine that such increase will be less than the amount set forth in clauses (i) and (ii).

The offering periods are scheduled to start in May and November of each year. The first offering period commenced on the Company’s first day of trading on May 20, 2021 and comprises three purchase periods of approximately six months in length, scheduled to end on November 15, 2022. The ESPP provides for consecutive offering periods that will typically have a duration of 12 months in length and comprise two purchase periods of six months in length.

The ESPP provides eligible employees with an opportunity to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock through payroll deductions of up to 15% of their eligible compensation, subject to a maximum of $25,000 of stock per calendar year. A participant may purchase a maximum of 2,500 shares of common stock during a purchase period. Amounts deducted and accumulated by the participant are used to purchase shares of common stock at the end of each six-month purchase period. The purchase price of the shares shall be 85% of the lower of the fair market value of the common stock on (i) the first trading day of the applicable offering period and (ii) the last trading day of each purchase period in the related offering period. However, in the event the fair value of the common stock on the purchase date is lower than the fair value on the first trading day of the offering period, the offering period is terminated immediately following the purchase and a new offering period begins the following day. Participants may end their participation at any time prior to the last 15 days of a purchase period and will be repaid their accrued contributions that have not yet been used to purchase shares of common stock. Participation ends automatically upon termination of employment.

We estimate the fair value of the ESPP purchase rights on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions during the year ended December 31, 2021.

Risk-free interest rate

 

0.03% to 0.18%

 

Expected term (in years)

 

0.5 to 1.5

 

Estimated dividend yield

 

0%

 

Estimated weighted-average volatility

 

44.81% to 69.39%

 

The term for the ESPP purchase rights is the offering period. We estimate volatility using historical volatilities of a group of public companies in a similar industry and stage of life cycle, selected by management, for a period commensurate with the term. The interest rate is derived from government bonds with a similar term to the ESPP purchase right granted. We have not declared, nor do we expect to declare dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, an expected dividend yield of zero was utilized. The fair value of the Company’s common stock used to value ESPP purchase rights is determined based upon the fair value of the Company’s common stock as described above under stock options.

Employee payroll contributions accrued in connection with the ESPP were $4.5 million as of December 31, 2021, and are included within accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheet. Employee payroll contributions ultimately used to purchase shares will be reclassified to stockholders' equity on the purchase date. Stock-based compensation expense related to the ESPP is recognized on a straight-line basis over the offering period. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded stock-based compensation of $8.5 million in connection with the ESPP. During the year ended December 31, 2021, 166,370 shares of our common stock were purchased under the ESPP.

As of December 31, 2021, unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to the ESPP was $13.8 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.6 years.
