Stock Based Compensation

The Company recognizes compensation costs for stock options awarded to employees based on their grant-date fair value.  The value of each stock option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.  No stock options were granted during the three months ended March 31, 2018.  The weighted-average fair value per share for the stock options granted to employees during the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $21.02.  

For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded $1,039 and $998, respectively, in “Selling, general and administrative expenses” for stock options.  As of March 31, 2018, the total compensation cost related to unvested stock options not yet recognized was $9,373.  The cost will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining weighted-average vesting period of 2.5 years.

For all periods presented, the expense recorded for restricted stock awards, and unvested restricted stock expense not yet recognized, were immaterial.

The Company granted equity-settled performance shares (“PS”) to certain executives.  PS awards provide the recipient the right to receive a certain number of shares of the Company’s common stock in the future, which depends on the Company’s level of achievement of net revenue and EBITDA growth as compared to the net revenue and EBITDA growth of the members of a specified peer group of companies over a three year period.  For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded $605 and $783, respectively, in “Selling, general and administrative expenses” related to these PS awards. As of March 31, 2018, total compensation cost related to unvested performance shares not yet recognized was $4,926. The cost will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining weighted-average vesting period of 1.3 years.
