Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]  
Stock-Based Compensation STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
We have four types of stock-based compensation awards: restricted stock units ("RSUs"), stock options, company stock awarded as part of our long-term performance plan ("LTPP") and, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2020, price-vested stock options. The following table sets forth the stock-based compensation expense recorded in selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expense (in millions):

Stock-based compensation expense$28.5 $20.7 $42.6 $27.1 

Our 2021 annual grant of stock options and RSUs occurred in the second quarter, similar to the 2020 annual grant. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of each stock option granted in 2021 was $18.36 and in 2020 was $13.26 as calculated under a lattice pricing model. Substantially all of the stock options and RSUs granted in 2021 and 2020 vest ratably over a three-year period or, if earlier, upon the retirement eligibility date of the holder. The fair values of stock option grants in the stated periods were computed using the following range of assumptions for our various stock compensation plans:

Dividend yield1.5%1.8%
