Share-based Payment Arrangement [Text Block]

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Our operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 included $5,207 and $4,691 of stock-based compensation costs, respectively. Our operating income for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 included $14,959 and $11,688 of stock-based compensation costs, respectively.

Stock Options

On November 10, 2015, the Company adopted the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan ("2015 EIP") for its employees and non-employee directors. The plan allows for grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock shares or units, and performance shares or units. The maximum number of shares authorized for issuance under the plan is 3,000. For stock options, terms and vesting periods of the options are determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors when granted. The option period must expire not more than ten years from the option grant date. The options granted under this plan are exercisable beginning three years after the grant date at an exercise price equal to 100% of the fair market value of the stock at the grant date. The options terminate upon surrender of the option, ninety days after termination of employment, upon the expiration of one year following notification of a deceased optionee, or ten years after grant.

A summary of option plan activity under this plan is as follows:


	Number of Shares	Weighted Average Exercise Price		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding July 1, 2020	22	$	87.27
Granted	—	—
Forfeited	—	—
Exercised	—	—
Outstanding March 31, 2021	22	$	87.27	$	1,398
Vested and Expected to Vest March 31, 2021	22	$	87.27	$	1,398
Exercisable March 31, 2021	22	$	87.27	$	1,398

At March 31, 2021, there was no compensation cost yet to be recognized related to outstanding options. For options currently exercisable, the weighted average remaining contractual term (remaining period of exercisability) as of March 31, 2021 was 5.25 years.

Restricted Stock Unit Awards

The Company issues unit awards under the 2015 EIP. The following table summarizes non-vested restricted stock unit awards as of March 31, 2021:


Unit awards	Units	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding July 1, 2020	307	$	136.41
Granted	109	171.43
Vested	(113)	107.34
Forfeited	(1)	139.17
Outstanding March 31, 2021	302	$	159.83	$	45,817

The 109 unit awards granted in fiscal 2021 had service requirements and performance targets, with 74 having only service requirements. Those 74 unit awards were valued at the weighted-average fair value of the non-vested units based on the fair market value of the Company’s equity shares on the grant date, less the present value of expected future dividends to be declared during the vesting period, consistent with the methodology for calculating compensation expense on such awards. The remaining 35 unit awards granted in fiscal 2021 had performance targets along with service requirements, all of which were valued using a Monte Carlo pricing model as of the measurement date customized to the specific provisions of the Company’s plan design to value the unit awards as of the grant date. Per the Company's award vesting and settlement provisions, approximately half of the awards that utilize a Monte Carlo pricing model were valued at grant on the basis of Total Shareholder Return (TSR) in comparison to the compensation peer group made up of participants approved by the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors for fiscal year 2021, and the other half of the awards utilizing a Monte Carlo pricing model were valued at grant on the basis of Total Shareholder Return in comparison to the Standard & Poor's 1500 Information Technology Index (S&P 1500 IT Index) participants. The Monte Carlo inputs used in the model to estimate fair value at the measurement date and resulting values for these performance unit awards are as follows.


	Compensation Peer Group		S&P 1500 IT Index
Volatility	25.17	%	25.17	%
Risk free interest rate	0.11	%	0.11	%
Annual dividend based on most recent quarterly dividend	1.72		1.72
Beginning TSR	37	%	30	%

At March 31, 2021, there was $23,718 of compensation expense, excluding forfeitures, that has yet to be recognized related to non-vested restricted stock unit awards, which will be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.40 years.
