Stock-Based Compensation |
Stock-Based Compensation | 11. Stock-Based Compensation We maintain performance incentive plans under which incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted share units, deferred shares, performance shares and performance units may be granted to employees and consultants. Our current practice is to issue new shares, rather than treasury shares, upon stock option exercises and for restricted share grants. To date, we have only granted non-qualified stock options, restricted shares and restricted share units of common stock under these plans. Non-employee directors have received only non-qualified stock options under a non-employee director equity plan, which expired in May 2007. Currently, we do not have a plan under which non-employee directors may be granted stock options or other equity interests in the Company. In April 2011, our Board approved an amendment to our 2010 Stock Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the plan to 4.8 million shares from 3.8 million shares. This amendment was approved by our shareholders at our Annual Meeting held on June 1, 2011. This is our only active performance incentive plan, and 1.4 million of these shares are currently available for grant. Stock options generally vest at 20% per year and expire eight to ten years from the date of grant. Restricted shares and restricted share units generally vest between three to five years from the date of grant and require that the staff member remains employed in good standing with the Company as of the vesting date. Since restricted stock provides strong retention power through economic value to our staff members even when our stock price remains flat or declines, and it also reduces our total share usage, we have increased the proportion of restricted stock versus stock option grants over the past several years, except for awards to those executives named in our proxy statement. Equity awards for certain executive officers may vest earlier in the event of a change of control, as defined in the plan. The following table presents information related to stock-based compensation (in thousands):
|  | Fiscal Year |
|  | 2012 |  | 2011 |  | 2010 |
Labor expenses |  | $ | 3,445 |  | $ | 3,186 |  | $ | 3,205 |
Other operating costs and expenses |  | 187 |  | 138 |  | 165 |
General and administrative expenses |  | 7,206 |  | 6,311 |  | 7,543 |
Total stock-based compensation |  | 10,838 |  | 9,635 |  | 10,913 |
Income tax benefit |  | 4,146 |  | 3,685 |  | 4,139 |
Total stock-based compensation, net of taxes |  | $ | 6,692 |  | $ | 5,950 |  | $ | 6,774 |
Capitalized stock-based compensation (1) |  | $ | 255 |  | $ | 197 |  | $ | 257 |
(1) It is our policy to capitalize the portion of stock-based compensation costs for our internal development and construction, legal, and facilities departments that relates to capitalizable activities such as the design and construction of new restaurants, remodeling existing locations, lease, intellectual property and liquor license acquisition activities and equipment installation. Capitalized stock-based compensation is included in property and equipment, net and other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Stock Options The weighted average fair value at the grant date for options issued during fiscal 2012, 2011 and 2010 was $12.00, $12.62 and $10.03 per option, respectively. The fair value of options at the grant date was estimated utilizing the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following weighted average assumptions for fiscal 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively: (a) an expected option term of 6.1 years, 6.0 years and 5.8 years, (b) expected stock price volatility of 40.5%, 39.7% and 41.1%, (c) a risk-free interest rate of 1.4%, 2.0% and 2.3%, and (d) a dividend yield on our stock of 0.2%, 0.0% and 0.0%. Prior to fiscal 2012, we had not declared or paid any cash dividends. On July 23, 2012, our Board approved the initiation of a cash dividend to our stockholders which is subject to quarterly Board approval. A cash dividend of $0.12 per common share was declared during both the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2012. However, since most of the stock options granted in fiscal 2012 occurred in the first quarter, the weighted average dividend yield for the full year was minimal. The expected option term represents the estimated period of time until exercise and is based on historical experience of similar options, giving consideration to the contractual terms, vesting schedules and expectations of future employee behavior. Expected stock price volatility is based on a combination of the historical volatility of our stock and the implied volatility of actively traded options on our common stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant with an equivalent remaining term. In the third quarter of fiscal 2012, our Board approved the initiation of a cash dividend to our stockholders which is subject to quarterly Board approval. Prior to this, we had not declared or paid any cash dividends. The dividend yield is based on anticipated cash dividend payouts. Compensation expense is recognized only for those options expected to vest, with forfeitures estimated based on our historical experience and future expectations. Stock option activity during fiscal 2012 was as follows:
|  | Shares |  | Weighted Average Exercise Price |  | Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term |  | Aggregate Intrinsic Value(1) |
|  | (In thousands) |  | (Per share) |  | (In years) |  | (In thousands) |
Outstanding at beginning of year |  | 8,827 |  | $ | 23.51 |  | 4.8 |  | $ | 58,857 |
Granted |  | 485 |  | $ | 29.35 |  |  |  |  |
Exercised |  | (1,696 | ) | $ | 23.12 |  |  |  |  |
Forfeited or cancelled |  | (202 | ) | $ | 23.70 |  |  |  |  |
Outstanding at end of year |  | 7,414 |  | $ | 23.98 |  | 4.2 |  | $ | 66,682 |
Exercisable at end of year |  | 4,057 |  | $ | 27.29 |  | 3.3 |  | $ | 23,896 |
(1) Aggregate intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between our closing stock price at fiscal year end and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options and represents the pretax amount that would have been received by the option holders, had they all exercised their options on the fiscal year end date. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during fiscal years 2012, 2011 and 2010 was $16.3 million, $6.4 million and $10.3 million, respectively. As of January 1, 2013, total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to nonvested stock options was $15.0 million, which we expect to recognize over a weighted average period of approximately 2.2 years. Restricted Shares and Restricted Share Units Restricted share and restricted share unit activity during fiscal 2012 was as follows:
|  | Shares |  | Weighted Average Fair Value |
|  | (In thousands) |  | (Per share) |
Outstanding at beginning of year |  | 826 |  | $ | 20.40 |
Granted |  | 684 |  | $ | 31.38 |
Vested |  | (178 | ) | $ | 14.03 |
Forfeited |  | (16 | ) | $ | 24.89 |
Outstanding at end of year |  | 1,316 |  | $ | 26.91 |
Fair value of our restricted shares and restricted share units is based on our closing stock price on the date of grant. The weighted average fair value at the grant date for restricted shares and restricted share units issued during fiscal 2012, 2011 and 2010 was $31.38, $29.12 and $23.16, respectively. The fair value of shares that vested during fiscal years 2012, 2011 and 2010 was $2.5 million, $1.2 million and $4.7 million, respectively. As of January 1, 2013, total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested restricted shares and restricted share units was $25.3 million, which we expect to recognize over a weighted average period of approximately 3.6 years.
