Share-Based Compensation
Note 13. Share-Based Compensation

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company grants employee stock option awards, restricted share awards and performance share awards under the Company's 2009 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). The Company records share-based compensation expense for these awards in accordance with U.S. GAAP which requires the recognition of the fair value of share-based compensation in net earnings. The Company recognizes the share-based compensation expense over the requisite service period of the individual grantees, which generally equals the vesting period. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2011, the Company recorded $2.6 million and $7.2 million, respectively, of share-based compensation expense in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2010, the Company recorded $2.2 million and $6.0 million, respectively, of share-based compensation expense in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The share-based compensation expense is allocated approximately 20% to cost of goods sold and 80% to selling, general and administrative expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings based on the employee classification of the grantees.

 

Stock Options:

The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes valuation model for estimating the fair value of stock option awards. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2011, the weighted-average fair values of options granted under the Plan were $8.33 and $9.33 per option, respectively, and $9.97 and $8.39 per option for the three and six months ended December 31, 2010, respectively, using the following assumptions:

The risk-free interest rate is derived from the average U.S. Treasury Note rate during the period, which approximates the rate in effect at the time of grant related to the expected life of the options. The risk-free interest rate shown above is the weighted-average rate for all options granted during the periods. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company's Common Stock over the period commensurate with the expected life of the options. The expected life calculation is based on the observed and expected time to post-vesting exercises and forfeitures of options by our employees. The dividend yield of zero is based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and has no intention to pay cash dividends in the future. The estimated annualized forfeitures are based on the Company's historical experience of option pre-vesting cancellations and are generally estimated at a rate of 16%. The Company will record additional expense in future periods if the actual forfeiture rate is lower than estimated, and will record a recovery of prior expense if the actual forfeiture rate is higher than estimated. Generally, twenty percent of each stock option award may be exercised one year from the date of grant with comparable annual increases on a cumulative basis each year thereafter. The stock option plan also has vesting provisions predicated upon the death, retirement or disability of the grantee. Included in the $2.6 million and $7.2 million of share-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended December 31, 2011, was $1.1 million and $4.0 million, respectively, of share-based compensation expense related to stock option awards. Included in the $2.2 million and $6.0 million of share-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended December 31, 2010, was $1.3 million and $4.0 million, respectively, of share-based compensation expense related to stock option awards.

Restricted Share Awards:

The restricted share awards compensation expense was calculated based on the number of shares expected to be earned by the grantee multiplied by the stock price at the date of grant and is being recognized over the vesting period. Generally, the restricted share awards have a three year cliff-vesting provision and an estimated forfeiture rate of 7.5%. Included in the $2.6 million and $7.2 million of share-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended December 31, 2011, was $0.7 million and $1.5 million, respectively, of share-based compensation expense related to restricted share awards. Included in the $2.2 million and $6.0 million of share-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended December 31, 2010, was $0.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively, of share-based compensation expense related to restricted share awards.

Performance Share Awards:

The Compensation Committee granted certain named executive officers and employees performance share awards under the Plan. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2011, the Company had three outstanding performance share grants covering the periods from July 2010 to June 2012, July 2011 to June 2013, and July 2011 to December 2014. The awards are intended to provide continuing emphasis on specified financial performance goals that the Company considers important contributors to long-term shareholder value. The awards are payable only if the Company achieves specified levels of revenue and/or cash flows from operations for the applicable performance periods.

In conjunction with the Company's acquisition of Photop, the Compensation Committee established a long-term performance and retention program under the Plan for certain Photop employees. This program covers periods from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2012. Participants are eligible to receive performance shares following each of the calendar years 2010, 2011 and 2012. The awards are only payable if Photop achieves the levels of revenue and earnings specified for each calendar year performance period as well as certain other non-financial performance targets pre-established for such performance period.

 

Performance shares compensation expense is calculated based on the estimated number of shares expected to be earned multiplied by the stock price at the date of grant. Included in the $2.6 million and $7.2 million of share-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended December 31, 2011, was $0.8 million and $1.7 million, respectively, of share-based compensation expense related to performance share awards. Included in the $2.2 million and $6.0 million of share-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended December 31, 2010, was $0.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively, of share-based compensation expense related to performance share awards.
