Share-based Compensation Arrangement by Share-based Payment Award [Line Items] |
Share-Based Payments | Share-based Payments During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we granted 168,700 stock options with an exercise price equal to the closing market price of a share of our Common Stock on the date of grant. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which resulted in a weighted average grant date fair value per share of $6.50. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we also granted 79,080 shares of time-based restricted stock and 65,486 shares of total return-based restricted stock with weighted average grant date fair values per share of $36.35 and $31.73, respectively. We recorded stock-based compensation expense of $3.4 million and $2.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. At March 31, 2013, there was $7.2 million of total unrecognized stock-based compensation costs, which will be recognized over a weighted average remaining contractual term of 2.7 years.
