Share-based Compensation Arrangement by Share-based Payment Award [Line Items]
Spin-Off Executive Compensation	SPIN-OFF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION On August 28, 2014, the Board of Directors of Capital Southwest (our former parent company) adopted an executive compensation plan consisting of grants of nonqualified stock options, restricted stock and cash incentive awards to executive officers of Capital Southwest (the “Spin-Off Executive Compensation Plan”). The Spin-Off Executive Compensation Plan was intended to align the compensation of Capital Southwest’s executive officers with Capital Southwest’s key strategic objective of increasing the market value of Capital Southwest’s shares through a transformative transaction for the benefit of Capital Southwest’s shareholders. Under the Spin-Off Executive Compensation Plan, Joseph B. Armes, Kelly Tacke and Bowen S. Diehl were to receive an amount equal to 6.0% of the aggregate appreciation in Capital Southwest’s share price from August 28, 2014 (using a base price of $36.16 per share) to the Trigger Event Date (later to be determined to be December 29, 2015, as discussed below) (the “Total Payment Amount”). The initial plan component consisted of nonqualified options awarded to purchase a total of 258,000 shares of Capital Southwest common stock. The second plan component consisted of total awards of 127,000 shares of Capital Southwest restricted common stock, which have voting rights, but do not have cash dividend rights. The final plan component consisted of cash incentive payments awarded to each of Mr. Armes, Ms. Tacke and Mr. Diehl in an amount equal to the excess of each awardee’s allocable portion of the Total Payment Amount over the aggregate value of the awardee’s restricted common stock and nonqualified option awards under the Spin-Off Executive Compensation Plan, calculated as of the Trigger Event Date. The equity based awards vest and become exercisable as follows: (1) 1/3 on the Trigger Event Date; (2) 1/3 on the first anniversary of the Trigger Event Date; and (3) 1/3 on the second anniversary of the Trigger Event Date. Generally, entitlement to such awards is conditioned on the awardee remaining in the employment of Capital Southwest or its subsidiaries on the vesting date, or in the event the employment of the awardee was transferred to CSWI, continuing employment by CSWI. Effective immediately with the spin-off of CSWI, both Joseph B. Armes and Kelly Tacke became employees of CSWI and Bowen Diehl remained an employee of Capital Southwest. On September 8, 2015, the Board of Directors of Capital Southwest designated the Share Distribution as a transformative transaction for purposes of the Spin-Off Executive Compensation Plan and amended the award agreements granted under the Spin-Off Executive Compensation Plan to provide for accelerated vesting of the awards held by an executive in the event of a termination of such executive’s service effected by the executive for good reason, by the employer without cause, or as a result of the disability or death of the executive. As a result of the Share Distribution completed on September 30, 2015, the Trigger Event Date was determined to be December 29, 2015. As of December 29, 2015, the cash component of the Spin-Off Executive Compensation Plan was calculated based on the volume weighted average price of Capital Southwest and CSWI common stock for the 20 trading days ended December 29, 2015. Effective with the Share Distribution, CSWI entered into an Employee Matters Agreement with Capital Southwest. Under this agreement, Capital Southwest retained the obligation to fund the cash incentive awards granted under the Spin-Off Executive Compensation Plan, and all liabilities with respect to such cash incentive awards remained liabilities of Capital Southwest. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016, we recorded total executive compensation expense for the cash incentive payments of $0.2 million and $1.7 million, respectively, for Mr. Armes and Ms. Tacke, and total stock compensation expense of $0.1 million and $0.9 million, respectively. Within those amounts, for the nine months ended December 31, 2016, were $1.2 million and $1.0 million of cash incentive and stock compensation expenses, respectively, which were accelerated as a result of our chief financial officer transition in June 2016. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015, we recorded total executive compensation expense for the cash incentive payments of $0.9 million for Mr. Armes and Mrs. Tacke, and total stock compensation expense of $0.2 million.
