Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract] |
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION | STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company's stock-based compensation expense primarily includes the fair value of restricted stock units (RSUs) and employees' purchase rights under the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Stock-based compensation expense was $12.5 million and $40.1 million during the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 29, 2017, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense was $12.5 million and $37.3 million during the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 30, 2016, respectively. The Company granted approximately 0.5 million service-based RSUs from the Omnibus Incentive Plan (Omnibus Plan) to employees and officers in the 26 weeks ended July 29, 2017. The estimated $42.5 million fair value of these RSUs is being expensed ratably over the three-year vesting periods, or shorter periods based on the retirement eligibility of certain grantees. The fair value was determined using the Company's closing stock price on the date of grant. The Company recognized $3.7 million and $9.4 million of expense related to these RSUs during the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 29, 2017, respectively. In the 26 weeks ended July 29, 2017, the Company granted 0.2 million RSUs with a fair value of $18.4 million from the Omnibus Plan to certain officers of the Company, contingent on the Company meeting certain performance targets in fiscal 2017. If the Company meets these performance targets in fiscal 2017, the RSUs will vest ratably over three years. The estimated fair value of these RSUs is being expensed ratably over the three-year vesting periods, or shorter periods based on the retirement eligibility of certain grantees. The Company recognized $0.7 million and $11.4 million of expense related to these RSUs in the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 29, 2017, respectively. In the 26 weeks ended July 29, 2017, the Company granted RSUs with a fair value of $4.1 million from the Omnibus Plan to certain officers of the Company, contingent on the Company meeting certain performance targets for the period beginning on January 29, 2017 and ending on February 1, 2020. Provided the vesting conditions are satisfied, the awards will vest at the end of the performance period. The estimated fair value of these RSUs is being expensed ratably over the three-year vesting period, or shorter periods based on the retirement eligibility of certain grantees. The Company recognized $0.2 million and $1.9 million of expense related to these RSUs in the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 29, 2017, respectively. The Company recognized $6.3 million and $14.6 million of expense related to RSUs granted prior to fiscal 2017 in the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 29, 2017, respectively. For the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 30, 2016, the Company recognized $12.1 million and $36.5 million, respectively, of expense related to RSUs granted in fiscal 2016 and prior. The Company recognized $0.6 million and $0.6 million of expense related to options granted prior to fiscal 2017 in the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 29, 2017, respectively. In the 26 weeks ended July 29, 2017, approximately 0.8 million RSUs vested and approximately 0.5 million shares, net of taxes, were issued. During the 26 weeks ended July 30, 2016, approximately 0.6 million RSUs vested and approximately 0.4 million shares, net of taxes, were issued.

In connection with the Family Dollar acquisition, the Company converted approximately 1.5 million Family Dollar vested and unvested options into equivalent options to purchase Dollar Tree Common Stock at the date of the acquisition and recognized $0.3 million and $0.7 million of expense related to these options during the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 29, 2017, respectively. The Company recognized $0.3 million and $1.0 million of expense related to these options during the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 30, 2016, respectively.
