Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract] |
Stock-Based Awards | Stock-Based Awards The Company has certain stock-based compensation plans which provide for the grants of stock options, time based restricted share units ("RSUs"), and performance based restricted share units ("Performance RSUs"). On November 20, 2012, the shareholders of the Company approved the Dycom Industries, Inc. 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2012 Plan"). The 2012 Plan authorizes 3,000,000 shares of common stock for grants of stock options, RSUs and Performance RSUs to key employees and officers of the Company. No new awards will be made under the Company's previous 2003 Long-Term Incentive Plan. As of April 27, 2013, the number of shares available for grant under the 2012 Plan was 1,911,121. Compensation expense for stock-based awards is based on the fair value at the measurement date and is included in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Stock-based compensation expense and the related tax benefit recognized related to stock options and restricted share units during the three and nine months ended April 27, 2013 and April 28, 2012 were as follows:

As of April 27, 2013, unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options, RSUs and target Performance RSUs was $6.1 million, $6.0 million and $9.9 million, respectively. The Company may recognize an additional $12.1 million in compensation expense related to Performance RSUs if the maximum amount of restricted share units are earned based on certain performance goals being met. Any compensation expense previously recognized with respect to Performance RSUs will be reversed to the extent the performance goals are not met. Unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options, RSUs and Performance RSUs will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.2, 3.1 and 1.4 years, respectively, which is the weighted average remaining contractual term for RSUs and Performance RSUs.
