Stock And Stock-Based Incentive Plans [Abstract] |
Stock And Stock-Based Incentive Plans | 1 1.Stock and Stock-Based Incentive Plans (A)Share Repurchase Program In fiscal 2013, our board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $800 million of our common stock. On April 4, 2014, we announced that they had authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $1 billion of our common stock expiring on December 31, 2015. On October 22, 2014, we announced that they had authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $2 billion of our common stock expiring on December 31, 2016. During the nine months ended November 30, 2014, we exhausted the initial $800 million authorization and, as of November 30, 2014, $2.58 b illion was available for repurchase unde r the rem aining authorizations. For the three months ended November 30, 2014, we repurchased 6,234,799 shares of common stock at an average purchase pric e of $52.48 per share. For the nine months ended November 30, 2014, we repurchased 14,101,539 shares of common stock at an average purchase price of $49.80 per share. For the three months ended November 30, 2013, we repurchased 313,042 shares of common stock at an average purchase price of $47.39 per share. For the nine months ended November 30, 2013, we purchased 4,305,293 shares of common stock at an average price of $43.69 per share. (B)Stock Incentive Plans We maintain long-term incentive plans for management, key employees and the nonemployee members of our board of directors. The plans allow for the granting of equity-based compensation awards, including nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, stock- and cash-settled restricted stock units, stock grants or a combination of awards. To date, we have not awarded a n y incentive stock options. The majority of associates who receive share-based compensation awards primarily receive cash-settled restricted stock units. Senior management and other key associates receive awards of nonqualified stock options and stock-settled restricted stock units. Nonemployee directors receive awards o f nonqualified stock options, stock grants and/or restricted stock awards. Excluding stock grants, all share-based compensation awards, including any associated dividend rights, are subject to forfeiture. Nonqualified Stock Options. Nonqualified stock options are awards that allow the recipient to purchase shares of our common stock at a fixed price. Stock options are granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the grant date. The stock options generally vest annually in equal amounts over periods of one to four years. These option s expire no later than ten years after the date of the grant. Cash-Settled Restricted Stock Units. Also referred to as restricted stock units, or RSUs, these are awards that entitle the holder to a cash payment equal to the fair market value of a share of our common stock for each unit granted. Conversion generally occurs at the end of a three-year vesting period. However, the cash payment per RSU will not be greater than 200% or less than 75% of the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the grant date. RSUs are liability awards and do not have voting rights. Stock-Settled Restricted Stock Units. Also referred to as market stock units, or MSUs, these are awards to eligible key associates that are converted into between zero and two shares of common stock for each unit granted. Conversion generally occurs at the end of a three-year vesting period. The conversion ratio is calculated by dividing the average closing price of our stock during the final forty trading days of the t hree-year vesting period by our stock price on the grant date, with the resulting quotient capped at two. This quotient is then multiplied by the number of MSUs granted to yield the number of shares awarded. MSU s do not have voting rights. Restricted Stock Awards. Restricted stock awards (RSAs) are awards of our common stock that are subject to specified restrictions that lapse 1 year from the grant date. Participants holding RSAs are entitled to vote on matters submitted to holders of our common stock for a vote. During the nine months ended November 30, 2014, we granted to our board of directors RSAs of 22,860 shares at a fair value per share on the grant date of $51.18. No RSAs were outstanding during the nine months ended November 30, 2013. The unrecognized compensation costs related to nonvested RSAs totaled $0.1 million as of November 30, 2014. These costs are expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over a weighted average period of 0.6 years. (C)Share-Based Compensation Composition of Share-Based Compensation Expense

We recognize compensati on expense for stock options, MSUs and RSAs on a straight-line basis (net of estimated forfeitures) over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the award. The variable expense associated with RSUs is recognized over their vesting period (net of estimated forfeitures) and is calculated based on the volume-weighted average price of our common stock on the last trading day of each reporting period. The total costs for matching contributions for our employee stock purchase plan are included in share-based compensation expense. There were no capitalized share-based compensation costs as of or for the nine months ended November 30, 2014 or 2013. Stock Option Activity

During the nine months ended November 30, 2014 and 2013, we granted nonqualified options to purchase 2,050,919 and 1,605,149 shares of common stock, respectively. The total cash received as a result of stock option exercises for the nine months ended November 30, 2014 and 2013, was $54.3 million and $26.0 million, respectively. We settle stock option exercises with authorized but unissued shares of our common stock. The total intrinsic value of options exercised for the nine months ended November 30, 2014 and 2013, was $99.9 million and $34.7 million, respectively. We realized related tax benefits of $40.2 million and $13.9 million during the nine months ended November 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Outstanding Stock Options

For stock options, the fair value of each award is estimated as of the date of grant using a binomial valuation model. In computing the value of the option, the binomial model considers characteristics of fair-value option pricing that are not available for consideration under a closed-form valuation model (for example, the Black-Scholes model), such as the contractual term of the option, the probability that the option will be exercised prior to the end of its contractual life and the probability of termination or retirement of the option holder. For this reason, we believe that the binomial model provides a fair value that is more representative of actual experience and future expected experience than the value calculated using a closed-form model. Estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by the recipients of share-based awards. The weighted average fair value per share at the date of grant for options granted during the nine months ended November 30, 2014 and 2013, was $13.25 and $15.59, respectively. The unrecognized compensation costs related to nonvested options totaled $38.2 million as of November 30, 2014. These costs are expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over a weighted average period of 2.3 years. Assumptions Used to Estimate Option Values

During the nine months ended November 30, 2014 and 2013, we granted 587,990 and 541,819 RSUs, respectively. The initial fair market value per RSU at the date of grant for the RSUs granted during the nine months ended November 30, 2014 and 2013, was $44.96 and $42.68, respectively. The RSUs are cash-settled upon vesting. During the nine months ended November 30, 2014 and 2013, we paid $21.6 million and $23.3 million, respectively (before payroll tax withholdings), to RSU holders upon the vesting of RSUs. We realized tax benefits of $8.7 million and $9.3 million during the nine months ended November 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Expected Cash Settlement Range Upon Restricted Stock Unit Vesting

During the nine months ended November 30, 2014 and 2013, we granted 249,291 and 237,660 MSUs, respectively. The weighted average fair value per MSU at the date of grant for MSUs granted during the nine months ended November 30, 2014 and 2013, was $55.42 and $52.02, respectively. The fair values were determined using a Monte-Carlo simulation and were based on the expected market price of our common stock on the vesting date and the expected number of converted common shares. We realized related tax benefits of $7.5 million and $6.7 million for the nine months ended November 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, from the vesting of market stock units. The unrecognized compensation costs related to nonvested MSUs totaled $16.2 million as of November 30, 2014. These costs are expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over a weighted average period of 1.2 years.
