Stock-Based Compensation
 
We account for share-based awards in accordance with ASC 718 which requires that the cost resulting from all share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. ASC 718 requires all entities to apply a fair value-based measurement method in accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees except for equity instruments held by employee share ownership plans.
 
Total compensation expense recognized related to stock-based compensation was $3.7 million and $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, we recognized stock-based compensation expense of $7.5 million and $5.1 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2016, total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense was $27.3 million, with a weighted average period over which the remaining unrecognized compensation expense is expected to be recorded of approximately 2.2 years.
