Share-based Compensation [Abstract] |
Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation The Company measures compensation cost for all stock awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognizes compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service period for awards expected to vest. The Company recognized pretax stock-based compensation expense of $18.7 million and $7.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $47.8 million and $22.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The following table summarizes the changes in the number of outstanding restricted stock units for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 (shares in millions):
| Restricted Stock Units |  | Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value
Outstanding at December 31, 2015 | 2.9 |  |  | $ | 34 |
Granted | 2.6 |  |  | 55 |
Vested | (1.0 | ) |  | 27 |
Forfeited | (0.2 | ) |  | 44 |
Outstanding at September 30, 2016 | 4.3 |  |  | $ | 48 |
During 2014, 2015 and 2016, the Company awarded performance stock units which entitle recipients to shares of the Company’s stock at the end of a three-year vesting period if specified performance or market conditions are achieved (“PSUs”). The PSUs generally entitle recipients to shares of common stock equal to 0% up to 200% of the number of units granted at the vesting date depending on the level of achievement of the specified performance, market and service conditions. As of September 30, 2016, 2.1 million PSUs were outstanding. Based on performance through September 30, 2016, holders of unvested PSUs would be entitled to approximately 3.8 million shares at the vesting date. The PSUs are included in the preceding table as if the holders of PSUs earn shares equal to 100% of the units granted. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company awarded performance stock units which entitle recipients to shares of the Company’s stock at the end of a two- to five-year vesting period if specified cost savings targets are achieved (“Cost Savings PSUs”). The Cost Savings PSUs generally entitle recipients to shares of common stock equal to 100% of the number of units granted at the vesting date subject to achievement of the specified performance and service conditions. As of September 30, 2016, 0.5 million Cost Savings PSUs were outstanding. Based on performance through September 30, 2016, the holders of Cost Savings PSUs would not have vested in the Cost Savings PSUs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, pursuant to agreements certain Jarden employees entered into with Jarden prior to the Jarden Acquisition, the Jarden employees exchanged 0.8 million unvested restricted shares of Jarden on April 15, 2016 for 1.0 million unvested restricted shares of Newell Brands (the “Jarden Rollover Shares”). The Jarden Rollover Shares were subject to vesting conditions that were dependent on the Company’s stock price. The value of the Jarden Rollover Shares was estimated at $42.1 million and is included in the merger consideration in Footnote 2. The Jarden Rollover Shares vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 upon the achievement of the stock price-based performance conditions. The Jarden Rollover Shares are not included in the preceding table.
