9 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2022

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]

From time to time, the Company grants various types of stock-based compensation under the 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (2015 SIP), including time-based restricted stock units (RSUs), performance-based restricted stock units (PSUs), and long-term incentive plan PSUs (LTIP PSUs), to key personnel, including employees and directors. During the nine months ended December 31, 2022, no additional awards were granted under the 2015 SIP, with the exception of the RSUs and LTIP PSUs awards summarized below. Refer to Note 8, “Stock-Based Compensation,” of our consolidated financial statements in Part IV of our 2022 Annual Report for further information on previously granted awards under the 2015 SIP.

Annual Awards. The Company granted the following awards under the 2015 SIP during the periods presented, which were recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income:


	Nine Months Ended December 31,
	2022			2021
	Shares Granted	Weighted-average grant date fair value per share		Shares Granted	Weighted-average grant date fair value per share
RSUs	50,923	$	337.44	40,062	$	386.17

RSUs are subject to time-based vesting criteria and typically vest in equal annual installments over three years following the date of grant. Stock-based compensation is recorded net of estimated forfeitures in SG&A expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Future unrecognized stock-based compensation for annual awards, including RSUs outstanding, as of December 31, 2022 was $18,720.

Long-Term Incentive Plan Awards. During the nine months ended December 31, 2022, the Company approved awards under the 2015 SIP for the issuance of PSUs (2023 LTIP PSUs), which were awarded to certain members of the Company's management team, including the Company's named executive officers and vice presidents. The 2023 LTIP PSUs are subject to vesting based on service conditions over either two or three years. The Company must meet certain revenue and pre-tax income performance targets individually over three reporting periods for the fiscal years ending March 31, 2023, 2024, and 2025 (collectively, the Measurement Periods). The 2023 LTIP PSUs incorporate a relative total stockholder return (TSR) modifier for both the 24-month performance period (commencing April 1, 2022) ending March 31, 2024, and the 36-month performance period (commencing April 1, 2022) ending March 31, 2025 (collectively, the Performance Periods). To the extent financial performance is achieved above the threshold levels for each of these performance criteria, the number of 2023 LTIP PSUs that vest will increase up to a maximum of 200% of the targeted amount for that award. No vesting of any portion of the 2023 LTIP PSUs will occur if the Company fails to achieve the pre-established minimum revenue and pre-tax income amounts for each reporting period. Following the determination of the Company’s achievement with respect to the revenue and pre-tax income criteria for the Measurement Periods, the vesting of each 2023 LTIP PSU will be subject to adjustment based on the application of the 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 Performance Periods. 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 Performance Periods.

The Company granted awards of 32,735 2023 LTIP PSUs at the target performance level during the nine months ended December 31, 2022. The weighted-average grant date fair value per share of these 2023 LTIP PSUs was $387.44. Based on the Company's current long-range forecast, the Company determined that the achievement of at least the minimum threshold target performance criteria was probable as of December 31, 2022. Future unrecognized stock-based compensation for the current performance attainment level of all LTIP PSUs outstanding as of December 31, 2022, including the 2023 LTIP PSUs discussed above, the 2022 LTIP PSUs, and the 2021 LTIP PSUs, is $17,813.
