Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] |
Stock-based Payment Compensation | NOTE 9 – Stock-based Compensation The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock option awards, without a market condition, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. The following is a summary of activity for the Company’s stock options for the nine months ended April 30, 2021:
(In thousands, except per share and term data) |  | Shares |  | Weighted Average Exercise Price |  | Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (In years) |  | Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding as of July 31, 2020 |  | 8,059 |  |  | $ | 41.44 |  |  | 6.72 |  | $ | 417,529 |
Grants of options |  | 1,280 |  |  | 107.45 |  |  |  |  |
Exercises |  | (1,148) |  |  | 25.12 |  |  |  |  |
Forfeitures or expirations |  | (212) |  |  | 47.14 |  |  |  |  |
Outstanding as of April 30, 2021 |  | 7,979 |  |  | $ | 54.23 |  |  | 6.68 |  | $ | 560,800 |
Exercisable as of April 30, 2021 |  | 4,295 |  |  | $ | 33.26 |  |  | 5.11 |  | $ | 391,925 |
The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying awards and the quoted price of the Company’s common stock. The number of options that were in-the-money was 7,978,966 at April 30, 2021. In June 2020, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors approved the grant to A. Jayson Adair, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, of nonqualified stock options to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $85.04 per share, which equaled the closing price of the Company’s common stock on June 12, 2020, the effective date of grant. The option will become exercisable over five years, subject to continued service by Mr. Adair, with 20% vesting on June 12, 2021, and the balance vesting monthly over the subsequent four years. Separate and apart from the time-based vesting schedule, the options are also subject to market based vesting, such that no options will be exercisable unless and until the average closing price in trading of Copart, Inc., common stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market is greater than or equal to $106.30 per share (which is an amount equivalent to 125% of the exercise price of the options) for a period of 20 consecutive trading days. The market based vesting condition was satisfied in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The option held by Mr. Adair will become fully vested, assuming continued service by Mr. Adair on June 12, 2025. The fair value of each option at the date of grant using the Monte Carlo simulation model was $25.47, with an expected life of 7.64 years, a risk-free interest rate of 0.71%, estimated volatility of 25.2%, and no expected dividends. The total estimated compensation expense to be recognized by the Company over the five year estimated service period for these options is $25.5 million and will be recognized using the accelerated attribution method over each vesting tranche of the award. The Company recognized $10.9 million in compensation expense for this grant in the nine months ended April 30, 2021. The table below sets forth the stock-based compensation recognized by the Company for stock options, restricted stock, and restricted unit awards:
|  | Three Months Ended April 30, |  | Nine Months Ended April 30,
(In thousands) |  | 2021 |  | 2020 |  | 2021 |  | 2020
General and administrative |  | $ | 7,966 |  |  | $ | 4,113 |  |  | $ | 22,399 |  |  | $ | 13,258 |
Yard operations |  | 1,401 |  |  | 1,442 |  |  | 4,746 |  |  | 3,971 |
Total stock-based compensation |  | $ | 9,367 |  |  | $ | 5,555 |  |  | $ | 27,145 |  |  | $ | 17,229 |
In accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, the Company made an estimate of expected forfeitures and recognized compensation cost only for those equity awards expected to vest. The Company’s restricted stock awards (“RSA”) and restricted stock unit awards (“RSU”) have generally been issued with vesting periods ranging from two years to five years and vest solely on service conditions. Accordingly, the Company recognizes compensation expense for RSA and RSU awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. The following is a summary of activity for the Company’s RSA’s and RSU’s for the nine months ended April 30, 2021:
(In thousands, except per share data) |  | Restricted Shares |  | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Outstanding as of July 31, 2020 |  | 105 |  |  | $ | 69.86 |
Grants |  | 47 |  |  | 111.52 |
Vested |  | (26) |  |  | 70.43 |
Forfeitures or expirations |  | (6) |  |  | 65.17 |
