Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract] |
Stock-based Compensation and Other Stock Plans | Note 12: Stock-based Compensation and Other Stock Plans The 2011 Incentive Stock and Awards Plan (the “2011 Plan”) provides for the grant of stock options, performance awards, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) and restricted stock awards (which may be designated as “restricted stock units” or “RSUs”). No further grants are being made under its predecessor, the 2001 Incentive Stock and Awards Plan (the “2001 Plan”), although outstanding awards under the 2001 Plan will continue until exercised, forfeited or expired. As of September 27, 2014, the 2011 Plan had 1,873,245 shares available for future grants. The company uses treasury stock to deliver shares under both the 2001 and 2011 Plans. Net stock-based compensation expense was $8.6 million and $27.3 million for the respective three and nine month periods ended September 27, 2014, and $9.4 million and $28.9 million for the respective three and nine month periods ended September 28, 2013. Cash received from option exercises during the three and nine month periods ended September 27, 2014, totaled $1.8 million and $30.8 million, respectively. Cash received from option exercises during the three and nine month periods ended September 28, 2013, totaled $1.8 million and $27.9 million, respectively. The tax benefit realized from both the exercise and vesting of share-based payment arrangements was $0.8 million and $16.2 million for the respective three and nine month periods ended September 27, 2014, and $0.7 million and $11.2 million for the respective three and nine month periods ended September 28, 2013. Stock Options Stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to the market value of a share of Snap-on’s common stock on the date of grant and have a contractual term of ten years. Stock option grants vest ratably on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant. The fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The company uses historical data regarding stock option exercise behaviors for different participating groups to estimate the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the company’s stock for the length of time corresponding to the expected term of the option. The expected dividend yield is based on the company’s historical dividend payments. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. treasury yield curve on the grant date for the expected term of the option. The following weighted-average assumptions were used in calculating the fair value of stock options granted during the nine month period ended September 27, 2014, and the three and nine month periods ended September 28, 2013, using the Black-Scholes valuation model; no stock options were granted during the three month period ended September 27, 2014:

* | Weighted-average
The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted during the nine month periods ended September 27, 2014, and September 28, 2013, was $20.19 and $17.36, respectively. The intrinsic value of options exercised was $2.3 million and $21.7 million during the respective three and nine month periods ended September 27, 2014, and $1.7 million and $12.7 million during the respective three and nine month periods ended September 28, 2013. The fair value of vested stock options was $9.5 million and $7.9 million during the respective nine month periods ended September 27, 2014, and September 28, 2013. As of September 27, 2014, there was $16.2 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options that is expected to be recognized as a charge to earnings over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years. Performance Awards Performance awards, which are granted as performance share units and performance-based RSUs, are earned and expensed using the fair value of the award over a contractual term of three years based on the company’s performance. Vesting of the performance awards is dependent upon performance relative to pre-defined goals for revenue growth and return on net assets for the applicable performance period. For performance achieved above a certain level, the recipient may earn additional shares of stock, not to exceed 100% of the number of performance awards initially granted. The performance share units have a three-year performance period based on the results of the consolidated financial metrics of the company. The performance-based RSUs have a one-year performance period based on the results of the consolidated financial metrics of the company followed by a two-year cliff vesting schedule, assuming continued employment. The fair value of performance awards is calculated using the market value of a share of Snap-on’s common stock on the date of grant. The weighted-average grant date fair value of performance awards granted during the nine month periods ended September 27, 2014, and September 28, 2013, was $101.08 and $77.31, respectively. Performance share units of 146,313 shares and 213,459 shares were paid out during the respective nine month periods ended September 27, 2014, and September 28, 2013. Earned performance share units are generally paid out following the conclusion of the applicable performance period upon approval by the Organization and Executive Compensation Committee of the company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Based on the company’s 2013 performance, 84,413 RSUs granted in 2013 were earned; assuming continued employment, these RSUs will vest at the end of fiscal 2015. Based on the company’s 2012 performance, 95,047 RSUs granted in 2012 were earned; assuming continued employment, these RSUs will vest at the end of fiscal 2014. Based on the company’s 2011 performance, 159,970 RSUs granted in 2011 were earned; these RSUs vested as of fiscal 2013 year end and were paid out in the first quarter of 2014. As a result of employee retirements, a total of 1,563 of the RSUs earned in 2013 and 2012 vested pursuant to the terms of the related award agreements and the underlying shares will be paid out in the fourth quarter of 2014. The changes to the company’s non-vested performance awards during the nine month period ended September 27, 2014, are as follows:
|  | Shares (in thousands) |  |  | Fair Value Price per Share (*) |
Non-vested performance awards at December 28, 2013 |  |  | 381 |  |  | $ | 68.13 |

* | Weighted-average
As of September 27, 2014, there was $18.4 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested performance awards that is expected to be recognized as a charge to earnings over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years. Stock Appreciation Rights (“SARs”) The company also issues cash-settled and stock-settled SARs to certain key non-U.S. employees. SARs have a contractual term of ten years and vest ratably on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant. SARs are granted with an exercise price equal to the market value of a share of Snap-on’s common stock on the date of grant. Cash-settled SARs provide for the cash payment of the excess of the fair market value of Snap-on’s common stock price on the date of exercise over the grant price. Cash-settled SARs have no effect on dilutive shares or shares outstanding as any appreciation of Snap-on’s common stock value over the grant price is paid in cash and not in common stock. Stock-settled SARs are accounted for as equity instruments and provide for the issuance of Snap-on common stock equal to the amount by which the company’s stock has appreciated over the exercise price. Stock-settled SARs have an effect on dilutive shares and shares outstanding as any appreciation of Snap-on’s common stock value over the exercise price will be settled in shares of common stock. The fair value of cash-settled SARs is revalued (mark-to-market) each reporting period using the Black-Scholes valuation model based on Snap-on’s period-end stock price. The fair value of stock-settled SARs is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The company uses historical data regarding SARs exercise behaviors for different participating groups to estimate the expected term of the SARs granted based on the period of time that similar instruments granted are expected to be outstanding. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the company’s stock for the length of time corresponding to the expected term of the SARs. The expected dividend yield is based on the company’s historical dividend payments. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. treasury yield curve in effect as of the reporting date (for cash-settled SARs) or grant date (for stock-settled SARs) for the length of time corresponding to the expected term of the SARs. The following weighted-average assumptions were used in calculating the fair value of cash-settled SARs granted during the nine month periods ended September 27, 2014, and September 28, 2013, using the Black-Scholes valuation model; no cash-settled SARs were granted during the three month periods ended September 27, 2014 or September 28, 2013:

The intrinsic value of cash-settled SARs exercised was $0.7 million and $4.7 million during the three and nine month periods ended September 27, 2014, respectively, and $0.9 million and $3.6 million during the three and nine month periods ended September 28, 2013, respectively. The fair value of cash-settled SARs vested during the nine month periods ended September 27, 2014, and September 28, 2013, was $4.7 million and $4.8 million, respectively. Changes to the company’s non-vested cash-settled SARs during the nine month period ended September 27, 2014, are as follows:

As of September 27, 2014, there was $2.6 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested cash-settled SARs that is expected to be recognized as a charge to earnings over a weighted-average period of 0.6 years. The following weighted-average assumptions were used in calculating the fair value of stock-settled SARs granted during the nine month period ended September 27, 2014, and the three and nine month periods ended September 28, 2013, using the Black-Scholes valuation model; no stock-settled SARs were granted during the three month period ended September 27, 2014:

* | Weighted-average
The weighted-average grant date fair value of stock-settled SARs granted during the nine month periods ended September 27, 2014, and September 28, 2013, was $19.55 and $17.47, respectively. The intrinsic value of stock-settled SARs exercised was zero and $0.1 million during the three and nine month periods ended September 27, 2014, respectively, and zero for both the three and nine month periods ended September 28, 2013. The fair value of stock-settled SARs vested during the nine month periods ended September 27, 2014, and September 28, 2013, was $0.6 million and zero, respectively. As of September 27, 2014, there was $2.8 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock-settled SARs that is expected to be recognized as a charge to earnings over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years. Restricted Stock Awards – Non-employee Directors The company awarded 10,398 shares of restricted stock and 13,437 shares of restricted stock to non-employee directors in the first nine months of 2014 and 2013, respectively. The fair value of the restricted stock awards is expensed over the one year vesting period based on the fair value on the date of grant. All restrictions on the restricted stock generally lapse upon the earlier of the first anniversary of the grant date, the recipient’s death or disability or in the event of a change in control, as defined in the 2011 Plan. If termination of the recipient’s service occurs prior to the first anniversary of the grant date for any reason other than death or disability, the shares of restricted stock would be forfeited, unless otherwise determined by the Board.
