Share-Based Compensation and Earnings Per Share Sid Glandon, DBA, CPA Associate Professor of Accounting The University of Texas at El Paso
Stock Compensation Plans • Provide employee incentives: • Stock award plans • Stock option plans • Stock appreciation rights • Broad-based (noncompensatory plans)
Stock Award Plans • Restricted shares are issued as compensation • Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period • At the end of the vesting period the normal equity accounts are credited for common stock and additional paid-in capital
Stock Option Plans • Important dates • Grant date of options • Vesting date • Exercise date of options • Compensation expense recognized by • Fair value method (SFAS 123)
Example: Fact Pattern • Grant date, January 1, 2001 • 10,000 options granted • One option = one $1 par value share • Exercise price: $60; Market price: $70 • Options exercisable within 10 years • Service period is 2 years • 2,000 options exercised on June 1, 2004 • 8,000 options expired on January 1, 2011 • Using an option pricing model the fair value of options is $220,000
Stock Appreciation Rights SARs • SARs are designed to mitigate employee cash flow problems in non-qualified plans • Employee gets right to receive any appreciation in share value at exercise date equal to market price • Less pre-established amount • Employee receives cash or stock only for the appreciation
Example: Stock Appreciation Rights • Fact Pattern: • SARs program established, January 1, 2001 • Exercise period, over next five years • Pre-established price per SAR $10 • Number of SARs granted, 10,000 • Market prices of stock at December 31, • 2001, $13 • 2002, $17 • 2003, $15 • Service period: 2 years • The SARs are exercised on December 31, 2003
Adjustment to Compensation Expense and Exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights
Earnings Per Share (EPS) • Most important number in income statement • Dilution of EPS means reduction in EPS • Potential conversion of dilutive securities into common stock • If dilution takes place extent of reduction must be disclosed
Basic EPS • Fact Pattern: • Beginning balance = 800,000 shares • Issued 100,000 shares on April 1 • Reacquired 300,000 shares on July 1 • Net income = $1,700,000 • Preferred dividends = $250,000
Stock Dividends and Splits • Restatement of weighted shares outstanding before the dividend or split • Deemed to have been outstanding since the beginning of the year • After year end but before issuance of financial statements require restatement to beginning of year
Basic EPS with Stock Dividends • Fact Pattern: • Beginning balance = 800,000 shares • Issued 100,000 shares on April 1 • Reacquired 300,000 shares on July 1 • 25% stock dividend on October 1 • Issue 120,000 shares on November 1 • Net income = $1,500,000 • Preferred dividends = $481,125
Complex Capital Structures • Stock options, rights and warrants • Convertible securities • Convertible bonds • Convertible preferred stock • Only dilutive securities are considered • Antidilutive securities are ignored
Dilution • Reduction in EPS if potentially dilutive: • Stock options, rights or warrants • Convertible securities • Assumed exercised or converted at beginning of the year • Two EPS calculations • Basic EPS, and • Diluted EPS
Methods • Treasury stock method • Options, Rights and Warrants • If converted method • Convertible Securities • Maximum dilutive conversion rate is used in calculating diluted EPS
Treasury Stock Method • Options, rights and warrants are included in EPS computations • Assumed exercised at beginning of year • Proceeds from exercise are assumed used to buy back common shares • Exercise price per share must be less than market price per share for dilution
Treasury Stock Method • Fact Pattern: • Exercise price = $10 per share • Average market price = $40 per share • 1,000 options outstanding and assumed exercised • Additional shares added to weighted-average common shares outstanding
If-Converted Method • Conversion of securities into common stock is assumed to occur at the beginning of the year • Related interest effect (net of tax) and/or convertible preferred dividends are removed from the calculation of income available to common shares • Weighted average number of shares is increased by additional common shares assumed issued at beginning of year
If-Converted Method • Fact Pattern: • Net income = $500,000 • Common shares outstanding = 250,000 • $1,000,000 6% convertible bonds • Each $1,000 bond convertible into 25 shares of common stock • Income tax rate = 35%
Complex Capital Structures • Requires duel presentation • Basic earnings per share • Diluted earnings per share
