Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]  
Share-based Payment Arrangement [Text Block] STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Our operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, included $6,924 and $6,915 of stock-based compensation costs, respectively. Our operating income for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, included $22,404 and $21,459 of stock-based compensation costs, respectively.
On November 10, 2015, the Company adopted the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (“2015 EIP”) for its employees and non-employee directors. The plan allows for grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock shares or units, and performance shares or units. The maximum number of shares authorized for issuance under the plan is 3,000.
Stock option awards
Under the 2015 EIP, terms and vesting periods of the options are determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors when granted. The option period must expire not more than ten years from the option grant date. The options granted under this plan are exercisable beginning three years after the grant date at an exercise price equal to 100% of the fair market value of the stock at the grant date. The options terminate upon surrender of the option, ninety days after termination of employment, upon the expiration of one year following notification of a deceased optionee, or ten years after grant.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2024, there were no options granted, forfeited, or exercised. At March 31, 2024, 12 options were outstanding at a weighted average exercise price of $87.27 with an aggregate intrinsic value of $1,010.
At March 31, 2024, there was no compensation cost yet to be recognized related to outstanding options. All of the options are currently exercisable, with a weighted average remaining contractual term (remaining period of exercisability) of 2.25 years as of March 31, 2024.
Restricted stock unit and performance unit awards
The Company issues unit awards under the 2015 EIP. Restricted stock unit awards (which are unit awards that have service requirements only and are not tied to performance measures) generally vest over a period of 1 to 3 years. Performance unit awards are awards that have performance measures in addition to service requirements.
The following table summarizes non-vested restricted stock unit awards and performance awards as of March 31, 2024:

Of the 154 unit awards granted in fiscal 2024, 95 were restricted stock unit awards and 59 were performance unit awards. The restricted stock unit awards were valued at the weighted average fair value of the non-vested units based on the fair market value of the Company’s equity shares on the grant date, less the present value of expected future dividends to be declared during the vesting period, consistent with the methodology for calculating compensation expense on such awards.
24 of the performance unit awards granted in fiscal 2024 were valued at grant by estimating 100% payout at release and using the fair market value of the Company equity shares on the grant date, less the present value of expected future dividends to be declared during the vesting period. The payout at release of approximately half of these performance unit awards will be determined based on the Company's compound annual growth rate for revenue (excluding adjustments) for the three-year vesting period compared against goal thresholds as defined in the award agreement. The performance payout at release of the other half of these performance unit awards will be determined based on the expansion of the Company's non-GAAP operating margin over the three-year vesting period compared against goal thresholds as defined in the award agreement. 35 of the performance unit awards have market conditions and were valued at grant using a Monte Carlo pricing model as of the measurement date customized to the specific provisions of the Company’s plan design. Per the Company's award vesting and settlement provisions, the performance unit awards that utilize a Monte Carlo pricing model were valued at grant on the basis of Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) in comparison to the compensation peer group made up of participants approved by the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors for fiscal year 2024. The Monte Carlo inputs used in the model to estimate fair value at the measurement date and resulting values for these performance unit awards are as follows:

At March 31, 2024, there was $26,784 of compensation expense that has yet to be recognized related to non-vested restricted stock unit and performance stock unit awards, which will be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.25 years.
