Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] |
Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation The Company has various stock-based compensation plans. The Company issues restricted stock units ("RSUs") and stock options to key employees and non-employee directors. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation costs for those shares expected to vest on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. The Company estimates a forfeiture rate and adjusts expense as forfeitures occur. Stock Incentive Plans At April 30, 2025, the Company had stock option and RSU awards outstanding under two different plans: (1) 2023 stock incentive plan and (2) 2016 employee stock incentive plan. As of April 30, 2025, there were 640,270 shares of common stock available for future stock-based compensation awards under the 2023 stock incentive plan. Methodology Assumptions For purposes of valuing stock option grants, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value the Company’s stock options. For purposes of determining the fair value of RSUs, the Company uses the closing stock price of its common stock as reported on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on the date of grant. The fair value of the Company's stock options and RSU awards is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the stock options and RSUs to the extent the Company believes it is probable the related performance criteria, if any, will be met. The expected volatility assumption is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock over a term equal to the expected term of the option granted. The expected term of stock option awards granted is derived from the Company’s historical exercise experience and represents the period of time that stock option awards granted are expected to be outstanding. The expected term assumption incorporates the contractual term of an option grant, which is generally ten years for employees, as well as the vesting period of an award, which is typically three years. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield on a U.S. Treasury constant maturity with a remaining term equal to the expected term of the option granted. Stock Option Activity: Performance-based stock options ("Performance-Based Options") granted and outstanding under the Company’s 2023 stock incentive plan cliff vest at the end of three-years and have contractual terms of ten-years. The Performance-Based Options are subject to performance conditions and continued employment through the vest date. The exercise price of all stock options granted is equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the option grant date. The Company did not grant stock options during the fiscal years ended April 30, 2025 and 2023. The following table presents a summary of the Company’s stock option activity for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2025 and 2024 (remaining contractual term in years and exercise prices are weighted-averages):

As of April 30, 2025, there was no unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options granted under the Company's stock-based compensation plans. Restricted Stock Unit Activity: Prior to June 2023, the Company's RSUs granted to employees cliff-vest over a three-year period from date of grant, while RSUs granted to non-employee directors vest daily over a two-year period from date of grant. Directors were granted service-based RSUs only, while employees were awarded both service-based and performance-based RSUs ("PBRSUs"). Beginning in June 2023, service-based RSUs granted to employees vest one-third on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date and service-based RSUs granted to non-employee directors (i) vest daily through the end of the one-year vesting period as long as the recipient continuously remains a member of the Board and (ii) entitle the recipient to receive one share of the Company's common stock per unit vested. Directors were granted service-based RSUs only, while employees were awarded both service-based RSUs and PBRSUs in fiscal years 2025, 2024, and 2023. The PBRSUs granted in fiscal 2025, 2024, and 2023 are earned based on achievement of a number of goals pertaining to the Company's financial performance during three one-year performance periods and the achievement of certain cultural goals for the three-year period. Employees who satisfy the vesting criteria will receive a proportional amount of PBRSUs based upon the Compensation Committee's assessment of the Company's achievement of the performance criteria. The following table contains a summary of the Company's RSU activity for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2025, 2024, and 2023:
