Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract] |
Share-Based Compensation and Related Income Tax Benefit | Total pre-tax expense associated with share-based compensation and its related income tax benefit is shown in the table below. The year over year decrease in expense related to performance units, stock options and restricted stock units and awards is primarily due to modifications to the terms of awards in 2017 (see Equity Award Modifications below), the reduction of management headcount in 2017 and adjustments to reflect changes in the expected award payouts on existing plans for each year. Additionally, the 9 million stock options granted in February 2017 to former President and CEO E. Hunter Harrison were forfeited upon his death in December 2017.
