Share-based Compensation [Abstract] |
Stock-Based Compensation | STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company’s Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan") allows for grants of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and other stock-based or cash-based awards. The majority of all stock options and restricted stock unit grants outstanding under the Plan were granted in the first quarter of each fiscal year. Stock compensation is recognized based on an estimated number of awards that are expected to vest. Stock-based compensation expense consisted of the following (in thousands):
| Three Months Ended March 31,
| 2017 |  | 2016
Stock options | $ | 1,004 |  |  | $ | 972 |
Restricted stock units | 1,937 |  |  | 2,101 |
Total | $ | 2,941 |  |  | $ | 3,073 |
Stock Options The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes model. Key inputs and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options include the exercise price of the award, the expected option term, the expected stock price volatility of the Company’s stock over the option’s expected term, the risk-free interest rate over the option’s expected term and the Company’s expected annual dividend yield. The following table presents the weighted average assumptions for stock options granted in the periods:
| Three Months Ended March 31,
| 2017 |  | 2016
Expected option term | 4.34 years |  | 4.36 years
Expected stock price volatility | 28.95% |  | 29.70%
Risk-free interest rate | 1.70% |  | 1.14%
Expected annual dividend yield | 1.30% |  | 1.20%
Weighted average grant date fair value | $12.73 |  | $13.03
During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company granted a total of 455,342 and 389,186 stock options, respectively. At March 31, 2017, unrecognized costs related to outstanding stock options totaled approximately $10,424,000, before any related tax benefit. The unrecognized costs related to stock options are amortized over the related vesting period using the straight-line attribution method. Unrecognized costs related to stock options at March 31, 2017 are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.87 years. Restricted Stock Units The Company estimates the fair value of service-based and performance-based restricted stock units using the Black-Scholes model. Key inputs and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of restricted stock units include the vesting period, expected annual dividend yield and closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The following table presents the weighted average assumptions for restricted stock units granted in the periods:
| Three Months Ended March 31,
| 2017 |  | 2016
Vesting period | 3.91 years |  | 3.90 years
Expected annual dividend yield | 1.31% |  | 1.16%
Estimated average grant date fair value per restricted stock unit | $52.40 |  | $56.02
During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company granted 233,175 and 175,938 restricted stock units, respectively. At March 31, 2017, unrecognized costs related to outstanding restricted stock units totaled approximately $20,609,000, before any related tax benefit. The unrecognized costs related to restricted stock units are being amortized over the related vesting period using the straight-line attribution method. These unrecognized costs at March 31, 2017 are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.74 years.
