Stock Compensation Plans [Abstract] |
Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments | Stock Compensation Plans The Company maintains a stock compensation plan, the Kimball Electronics, Inc. 2014 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which allows for the issuance of up to 4.5 million shares and may be awarded in the form of incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, unrestricted shares, restricted share units, or performance shares and performance units. The Plan is a ten-year plan with no further awards allowed to be made under the Plan after October 1, 2024. For more information on our Plan, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2017. The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a nonqualified deferred compensation plan in fiscal year 2017, the Kimball Electronics, Inc. Non-Employee Directors Stock Compensation Deferral Plan (the “Deferral Plan”), which allows Non-Employee Directors to elect to defer all, or a portion of, their retainer fees in stock until retirement or termination from the Board or death. The Deferral Plan allows for issuance of up to 1.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock. During the first three months of fiscal year 2018, the following stock compensation was awarded under the Plan. No awards were issued under the Deferral Plan during the period.
Performance Shares |  | Quarter Awarded |  | Shares |  | Grant Date Fair Value (2)
Long-Term Performance Shares (1) |  | 1st Quarter |  | 205,821 |  |  |  | $18.30 |
(1) Long-term performance shares were awarded to officers and other key employees. Payouts will be based upon a combination of a bonus percentage attainment component calculated under the Company’s profit sharing incentive bonus plan, adjusted to a three-year average bonus percentage, and a growth attainment component, which is the Company’s growth in sales revenue based on comparison of its three-year compounded annual growth rate (“CAGR”) with the Electronics Manufacturing Services Industry’s three-year CAGR. The long-term performance shares awarded are based on three successive annual performance measurement periods, with each annual tranche having a grant date when economic profit tiers are established and approved by the Board near the beginning of the applicable fiscal year and a vesting date shortly after the end of each annual period. The number of shares issued will be less than the maximum shares issuable if one or both of the above-mentioned incentive metric maximum thresholds are not obtained. (2) The grant date fair value is based on the stock price at the date of the award and is applicable to the first tranche only.
