Stock Compensation

The Company uses various types of stock-based compensation under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, and the 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (2015 SIP), including time-based restricted stock units (RSUs), performance-based restricted stock units (PSUs), stock appreciation rights, and non-qualified stock options (NQSOs). Annual grants of RSUs (Annual RSUs) and PSUs (Annual PSUs) are available to key employees and certain executive officers, and long-term incentive plan (LTIP) awards are available to certain officers, including named executive officers.

These grants entitle the recipients to receive shares of the Company's common stock upon vesting. The Annual RSUs are subject to time-based vesting criteria and vest in equal annual installments over three years following the date of grant. The vesting of Annual PSUs is subject to the achievement of pre-established Company performance criteria measured over the fiscal year during which they are granted, and to the extent the performance criteria has been met, vest in equal annual installments over three years thereafter. As of September 30, 2018, the Company has determined that the achievement of the target performance criteria for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2019 Annual PSUs was probable.

The Company recorded aggregate stock compensation expense for the Annual RSUs and Annual PSUs, net of forfeitures, of $2,589 and $2,870 during the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $4,819 and $4,702 during the six months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, in SG&A expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Future unrecognized stock compensation expense for Annual RSUs and Annual PSUs granted as of September 30, 2018, excluding estimated forfeitures, was $13,842. Subsequent to September 30, 2018 through November 2, 2018, the Company granted no Annual RSUs or Annual PSUs.

Long-Term Incentive Plan Options

During the three and six months ended September 30, 2018, no LTIP NQSOs were granted. Previously, the Company approved the issuance of LTIP NQSOs under the 2015 SIP. If the recipient provides continuous service, the LTIP NQSOs will vest if the Company achieves the target performance criteria by the date specified in the award. Each vested LTIP NQSO provides the recipient the right to purchase a specified number of shares of the Company's common stock at a fixed exercise price per share based on the closing price of the common stock on the date of grant. The Company measures stock compensation expense for LTIP NQSOs at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Subsequent to September 30, 2018 through November 2, 2018, the Company granted no LTIP NQSOs.


The Company recorded aggregate stock compensation expense for outstanding LTIP NQSOs, net of forfeitures, of $914 and $924 during the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $1,904 and $1,500 during the six months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, in SG&A expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Future unrecognized stock compensation expense for all LTIP NQSOs granted as of September 30, 2018, excluding estimated forfeitures, was $3,643.

Long-Term Incentive Plan Awards

In September 2018, the Company approved LTIP awards under the 2015 SIP for the issuance of PSUs (2019 LTIP PSUs), which were awarded to certain members of the Company's senior management team, including the Company's named executive officers. The 2019 LTIP PSUs are subject to vesting based on service conditions over three years, as well as the Company meeting certain revenue and pre-tax income performance targets for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021. To the extent financial performance is achieved above the threshold levels for each of these performance criteria, the number of PSUs that will vest will increase up to a maximum of 200% of the targeted amount for that award. No vesting of any portion of the 2019 LTIP PSUs will occur if the Company fails to achieve revenue and pre-tax income amounts equal to at least 90% of the threshold amounts for these criteria. Following the determination of the Company’s achievement with respect to the revenue and pre-tax income criteria for the measurement period, the vesting of each 2019 LTIP PSUs will be subject to adjustment based on the application of a relative total shareholder return (TSR) modifier. The amount of the adjustment will be determined based on a comparison of the Company's TSR relative to the TSR of a pre-determined set of peer group companies for the 36-month performance period commencing on April 1, 2018 and ending on the vesting date. A Monte- Carlo simulation model was used to determine the grant date fair value by simulating a range of possible future stock prices for the Company and each member of the peer group over the 36-month performance period.

Under the new program, the Company granted awards at the target performance level of 41,793 2019 LTIP PSUs during the three months ended September 30, 2018. The average grant date fair value of these 2019 LTIP PSUs was $120.24 per share. Based on the Company's current long-range forecast, the Company determined that the achievement of at least the target performance criteria of these awards was probable as of the grant date, and therefore recorded stock compensation expense of approximately $59 in SG&A expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2018. Future unrecognized stock compensation expense at the target performance level for 2019 LTIP PSUs granted as of September 30, 2018, excluding estimated forfeitures, was $4,967.
