Stock-Based Compensation [Abstract]  
Stock-Based Compensation
Note 10 – Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based awards are provided to certain employees under the terms of
 
our 2020 Stock Incentive Plan and to
non-employee directors under the terms of our 2015 Non-Employee Director
 
Stock Incentive Plan (together, the
“Plans”).
 
The Plans are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board
 
of Directors (the
“Compensation Committee”).
 
Historically, equity-based awards to our employees have been granted solely in the
form of time-based and performance-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”).
 
However, for our 2021 fiscal year, in
light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Compensation Committee determined
 
it would be difficult for management
to set a meaningful three-year cumulative earnings per share target as the goal applicable
 
to performance-based
restricted stock unit awards as it had done in prior years.
 
Instead, the Compensation Committee set our equity-
based awards to employees for fiscal 2021 in the form of time-based RSUs
 
and non-qualified stock options which
focus on stock value appreciation and retention instead of pre-established
 
performance goals.
 
Our non-employee
directors continued to receive equity-based awards for fiscal 2021
 
solely in the form of time-based RSUs.
 
In March
2022, the Compensation Committee reinstated performance-based
 
RSUs for equity-based awards to employees for
fiscal 2022 and awarded grants in the form of time-based RSUs, performance-based
 
RSUs and non-qualified stock
options.
 
RSUs are stock-based awards granted to recipients with specified vesting provisions.
 
In the case of RSUs, common
stock is generally delivered on or following satisfaction of vesting conditions.
 
We issue RSUs to employees that
vest (i) solely based on the recipient’s continued service over time, primarily with
four
-year cliff vesting and/or (ii)
based on achieving specified performance measurements and the recipient’s continued service over time, primarily
with
three
-year cliff vesting.
 
RSUs granted under the 2015 Non-Employee Director Stock Incentive
 
Plan primarily
are granted with
12
-month cliff vesting.
 
For these RSUs, we recognize the cost as compensation expense on
 
a
straight-line basis.
With respect to time-based RSUs, we estimate the fair value on the date of grant based on our closing
 
stock price at
the time of grant.
 
With respect to performance-based RSUs, the number of shares that ultimately vest
 
and are
received by the recipient is based upon our performance as measured against
 
specified targets over a specified
period, as determined by the Compensation Committee.
 
Although there is no guarantee that performance targets
will be achieved, we estimate the fair value of performance-based RSUs
 
based on our closing stock price at time of
grant.
Each of the Plans provide for certain adjustments to the performance
 
measurement in connection with awards under
the Plans.
 
With respect to the performance-based RSUs granted under our 2020 Stock Incentive Plan, such
performance measurement adjustments relate to significant events, including,
 
without limitation, acquisitions,
divestitures, new business ventures, certain capital transactions (including share
 
repurchases), differences in
budgeted average outstanding shares (other than those resulting from capital
 
transactions referred to above),
restructuring costs, if any, certain litigation settlements or payments, if any, changes in accounting principles or in
applicable laws or regulations, changes in income tax rates in certain markets,
 
foreign exchange fluctuations, the
financial impact, either positive or negative, of the differences in projected earnings
 
generated by sales of COVID-
19 test kits (solely with respect to performance-based RSUs
 
granted in the 2022 plan year) and unforeseen events or
circumstances affecting us.
 
Over the performance period, the number of shares of common stock that will
 
ultimately vest and be issued and the
related compensation expense is adjusted upward or downward based upon
 
our estimation of achieving such
performance targets.
 
The ultimate number of shares delivered to recipients and the
 
related compensation cost
recognized as an expense will be based on our actual performance metrics
 
as defined under the Plans.
 
Stock options are awards that allow the recipient to purchase shares of our
 
common stock at a fixed price following
vesting of the stock options.
 
Stock options are granted at an exercise price equal to our closing stock
 
price on the
date of grant.
 
Stock options issued beginning in 2021 vest
one-third
 
per year based on the recipient’s continued
service, subject to the terms and conditions of the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan,
 
are fully vested
three years
 
from the
grant date and have a contractual term of
ten years
 
from the grant date, subject to earlier termination of the term
upon certain events.
 
Compensation expense for these stock options is recognized
 
using a graded vesting method.
 
We estimate the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes valuation model.
 
In addition to equity-based awards granted in fiscal 2021 under the our long-term
 
incentive program, the
Compensation Committee granted a Special Pandemic Recognition Award under the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan to
recipients of performance-based RSUs under the 2018 long-term
 
incentive program.
 
The payout under the
performance-based restricted stock units granted under the fiscal 2018 long-term
 
incentive program (the “2018
LTIP”) was negatively impacted by the global COVID-19 pandemic.
 
Given the significance of the impact of the
pandemic on our
three-year
 
EPS goal under such equity awards and the contributions made by our
 
employees
(including those who received such awards), on March 3, 2021, the Compensation
 
Committee granted a Special
Pandemic Recognition Award to recipients of performance-based restricted stock units under the 2018 LTIP who
were employed by us on the grant date of the Special Pandemic
 
Recognition Award.
 
These time-based RSU
awards vest
50
% on the first anniversary of the grant date and
50
% on the second anniversary of the grant date,
based on the recipient’s continued service and subject to the terms and conditions of the 2020 Stock Incentive
 
Plan,
and are recorded as compensation expense using a graded vesting
 
method.
 
The combination of the
20
% payout
based on actual performance of the 2018 LTIP and the one-time Special Pandemic Recognition Award granted in
2021 will generate a cumulative payout of
75
% of each recipient’s original number of performance-based restricted
stock units awarded in 2018 if the recipient satisfies the
two-year
 
vesting schedule commencing on the grant date.
Our accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income reflect
 
pre-tax share-based compensation expense
of $
15
 
million ($
12
 
million after-tax) and $
27
 
million ($
21
 
million after-tax) for the three and six months ended
June 25, 2022, respectively.
 
For the three and six months ended June 26, 2021, we recorded pre-tax share-based
compensation expense of $
17
 
million ($
13
 
million after-tax) and $
30
 
million ($
23
 
million after-tax), respectively.
Total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested awards as of June 25, 2022 was $
116
 
million, which is
expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately
2.4
 
years.
Our accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows present
 
our stock-based compensation expense
as an adjustment to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating
 
activities for all periods presented.
 
In
the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, there were
no
 
benefits associated with tax
deductions in excess of recognized compensation as a cash inflow from
 
financing activities for the six months
ended June 25, 2022 and June 26, 2021, respectively.
The following weighted-average assumptions were used in determining
 
the most recent fair values of stock options
granted using the Black-Scholes valuation model:
2022
Expected dividend yield
 
0.0
%
Expected stock price volatility
 
27.40
%
Risk-free interest rate
 
3.25
%
Expected life of options (years)
 
6.00
We have not declared cash dividends on our stock in the past and we do not anticipate declaring cash dividends in
the foreseeable future.
 
The expected stock price volatility is based on implied volatilities
 
from traded options on
our stock, historical volatility of our stock, and other factors.
 
The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S.
Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant in conjunction with considering the expected life of options.
 
The
six-year expected life of the options was determined using the simplified
 
method for estimating the expected term
as permitted under SAB Topic 14.
 
Estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or
 
the
value ultimately realized by recipients of stock options, and subsequent
 
events are not indicative of the
reasonableness of the original estimates of fair value made by us.
