Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] |
STOCK OPTION PLANS | (L) Stock Option Plans On August 7, 2013, our stockholders approved the Eagle Materials Inc. Amended and Restated Incentive Plan (the Plan), which increased the shares we are authorized to issue as awards by 3,000,000 (1,500,000 of which may be stock awards). Under the terms of the Plan, we may issue equity awards, including stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs), restricted stock, and stock appreciation rights to employees of the Company and members of the Board of Directors. Awards that were already outstanding prior to the approval of the Plan remained outstanding. The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors specifies the terms for grants of equity awards under the Plan. Long-Term Compensation Plans Options In May 2022, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved the granting to certain officers and key employees an aggregate of 25,192 performance-vesting stock options that would be earned only if certain performance conditions were satisfied (the Fiscal 2023 Employee Performance Stock Option Grant). The performance criterion for the Fiscal 2023 Employee Performance Stock Option Grant was based upon the achievement of certain levels of return on equity (as defined in the option agreements), ranging from 10.0% to 20.0%, for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023. All stock options would be earned if the return on equity was 20.0% or greater, and the percentage of shares earned are reduced proportionately to approximately 66.7% if the return on equity was 10.0%. If the Company does not achieve a return on equity of at least 10.0%, all stock options granted would be forfeited. During fiscal 2023, our adjusted return on equity exceeded 20.0%; therefore, all of the options were earned. The earned stock options will vest ratably over four years, with the first fourth vesting promptly following the determination date, and the remaining options vesting on March 31, 2024 through 2026. The Compensation Committee also approved the granting of 20,994 time-vesting stock options to the same officers and key employees, which vest ratably over a four-year period, with the first tranche vesting on March 31, 2023 and the remaining options vesting on March 31, 2024 through 2026 (the Fiscal 2023 Employee Time-Vesting Stock Option Grant). All of our stock options have a term of 10 years from the date of grant. In August 2022, we granted 3,510 options to members of the Board of Directors (the Fiscal 2023 Board of Directors Stock Option Award). Options granted under the Fiscal 2023 Board of Directors Stock Option Award vest immediately and can be exercised from the grant date until their expiration on the tenth anniversary of the grant date. All stock options issued during fiscal 2023 and 2022 were valued at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The weighted-average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model to value the option awards in fiscal 2023 and 2022 are as follows:
|  | 2023 |  |  | 2022 |
Dividend Yield |  |  | 0.8 | % |  |  | 0.8 | %
Expected Volatility |  |  | 38.2 | % |  |  | 38.4 | %
Risk-Free Interest Rate |  |  | 2.90 | % |  |  | 1.00 | %
Expected Life |  | 6.0 years |  |  | 6.0 years |
Stock option expense for all outstanding stock option awards was approximately $3.4 million, 3.4 million, and $4.9 million for the years ended March 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. At March 31, 2023, there was approximately $3.3 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.3 years. The following table shows stock option activity for the years presented:

At March 31, 2023, the aggregate intrinsic value for outstanding and exercisable options was approximately $24.9 million and $20.0 million, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021 was approximately $4.4 million, $15.7 million and $26.4 million, respectively. Restricted Stock In May 2022, the Compensation Committee approved the granting to certain officers and key employees an aggregate of 50,783 shares of performance vesting restricted stock that would be earned only if certain performance conditions were satisfied (the Fiscal 2023 Employee Restricted Stock Performance Award). The performance criterion for the Fiscal 2023 Employee Restricted Stock Performance Award is based upon the achievement of certain levels of return on equity (as defined in the agreement), ranging from 10.0% to 20.0%, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023. All restricted shares would be earned if the return on equity was 20.0% or greater, and the percentage of shares earned would be reduced proportionately to approximately 66.7% if the return on equity was 10.0%. If the Company did not achieve a return on equity of at least 10.0%, all awards would be forfeited. During fiscal 2023, the return on equity exceeded 20.0%; therefore all of the shares were earned. Restrictions on the earned shares will lapse ratably over four years, with the first fourth lapsing promptly following the determination date and the remaining restrictions lapsing on March 31, 2024 through 2026. The Compensation Committee also approved the granting of 42,545 shares of time-vesting restricted stock to the same officers and key employees, which vest ratably over four years, with the first tranche vesting on March 31, 2023 and the remaining restricted shares vesting on March 31, 2024 through 2026 (the Fiscal 2023 Employee Restricted Stock Time-Vesting Award). Both of the Fiscal 2023 Employee Restricted Stock Performance Award and the Fiscal 2023 Employee Restricted Stock Time-Vesting Award were valued at the closing price of the stock on the date of grant and are being expensed over a four-year period. In August 2022, we granted to members of the Board of Directors 14,482 shares of restricted stock (the Fiscal 2023 Board of Directors Restricted Stock Award), which vested six months after the grant date. The Fiscal 2023 Board of Directors Restricted Stock Award was valued at the closing price of the stock on the date of the grant and was expensed over a six-month period. The fair value of restricted stock is estimated based on the stock price at the date of the grant. The following table summarizes the activity for nonvested restricted shares during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021:

Expense related to restricted shares was $13.7 million, $10.9 million, and $10.4 million in fiscal years ended March 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. At March 31, 2023, there were approximately 219,000 shares with remaining restrictions, for which $17.8 million of unearned compensation will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.4 years. The number of shares available for future grants of stock options, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, and restricted stock under the Plan was 3,260,302 at March 31, 2023. Of the available shares, a total of 944,043 shares can be used for future restricted stock and restricted stock unit grants.
