Stock-based Compensation and Other Stock Plans | Stock-based Compensation and Other Stock Plans The 2011 Incentive Stock and Awards Plan (the “2011 Plan”) provides for the grant of stock options, performance share units (“PSUs”), stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) and restricted stock awards (which may be designated as “restricted stock units” or “RSUs”). As of April 1, 2023, the 2011 Plan had 2,612,539 shares available for future grants. The company uses treasury stock to deliver shares under the 2011 Plan. Net stock-based compensation expense was $10.2 million and $9.0 million for the respective three month periods ended April 1, 2023, and April 2, 2022. Cash received from stock purchase and option plan exercises during the respective three month periods ended April 1, 2023, and April 2, 2022 totaled $32.8 million and $5.8 million. The tax benefit realized from both the exercise and vesting of share-based payment arrangements was $5.1 million and $2.1 million for the respective three month periods ended April 1, 2023, and April 2, 2022. Stock options: Stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to the market value of a share of Snap-on’s common stock on the date of grant and have a contractual term of 10 years. Stock option grants vest ratably on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant. The fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The company uses historical data regarding stock option exercise and forfeiture behaviors for different participating groups to estimate the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the company’s stock for the length of time corresponding to the expected term of the option. The expected dividend yield is based on the expected annual dividend as a percentage of the market value of our common stock as of the date of grant. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. treasury yield curve on the grant date for the expected term of the option. The following weighted-average assumptions were used in calculating the fair value of stock options granted during three month periods ended April 1, 2023, and April 2, 2022, using the Black-Scholes valuation model: Three Months Ended April 1, 2023 April 2, 2022 Expected term of option (in years) 4.90 5.14 Expected volatility factor 23.99% 22.61% Expected dividend yield 2.60% 2.68% Risk-free interest rate 3.99% 2.00% A summary of stock option activity as of and for the three months ended April 1, 2023, is presented below: Shares (in thousands) Exercise Remaining Contractual Term* (in years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in millions) Outstanding at December 31, 2022 2,349 $ 163.07 Granted 241 249.26 Exercised (220) 148.72 Forfeited or expired (7) 203.98 Outstanding at April 1, 2023 2,363 173.08 5.8 $ 175.0 Exercisable at April 1, 2023 1,839 158.34 4.8 162.8 * Weighted-average The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted during the three months ended April 1, 2023, and April 2, 2022, was $51.09 and $34.35, respectively. The intrinsic value of options exercised was $22.6 million and $2.8 million during the respective three month periods ended April 1, 2023, and April 2, 2022. The fair value of stock options vested was $9.1 million and $10.5 million during the respective three month periods ended April 1, 2023, and April 2, 2022. As of April 1, 2023, there was $19.8 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options that is expected to be recognized as a charge to earnings over a weighted-average period of 2.1 years. Performance share units: PSUs are earned and expensed using the fair value of the award over a contractual term of three years based on the company’s performance. Vesting of the PSUs is dependent upon performance relative to pre-defined goals for revenue growth and return on net assets for the applicable performance period. For performance achieved above specified levels, the recipient may earn additional shares of stock, not to exceed 100% of the number of performance awards initially granted. The PSUs have a three-year performance period based on the results of the consolidated financial metrics of the company. The fair value of PSUs is calculated using the market value of a share of Snap-on’s common stock on the date of grant and assumed forfeitures based on recent historical experience; in recent years, forfeitures have not been significant. The weighted-average grant date fair value of PSUs granted during the three months ended April 1, 2023, and April 2, 2022, was $249.26 and $206.20, respectively. PSUs related to 60,402 shares and 46,217 shares were paid out during the three months ended April 1, 2023, and April 2, 2022, respectively. Earned PSUs vest and are generally paid out following the conclusion of the applicable performance period upon approval by the Organization and Executive Compensation Committee of the company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Changes to the company’s non-vested PSUs during the three months ended April 1, 2023, are as follows: Shares (in thousands) Fair Value Non-vested PSUs at December 31, 2022 199 $ 196.51 Granted 58 249.26 Performance assumption change ** 12 211.67 Vested — — Cancellations and other (2) 204.00 Non-vested PSUs at April 1, 2023 267 208.62 * Weighted-average ** Reflects the number of PSUs above target levels based on performance metrics. As of April 1, 2023, there was $28.6 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested PSUs that are expected to be recognized as a charge to earnings over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years. Restricted stock units: RSUs are earned and expensed using the fair value of the award over the contractual term of three years. Vesting of the RSUs is dependent upon continued employment over the three-year cliff vesting period. The fair value of RSUs is calculated using the market value of a share of Snap-on’s common stock on the date of grant and assumed forfeitures based on recent historical experience; in recent years, forfeitures have not been significant. The weighted-average grant date fair value of RSUs granted during the three months ended April 1, 2023, and April 2, 2022, was $249.26 and $211.67, respectively. Changes to the company’s non-vested RSUs during the three months ended April 1, 2023, are as follows: Shares (in thousands) Fair Value Non-vested RSUs at December 31, 2022 58 $ 200.16 Granted 26 249.26 Vested — — Cancellations and other (1) 203.64 Non-vested RSUs at April 1, 2023 83 215.54 * Weighted-average As of April 1, 2023, there was $11.3 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested RSUs that are expected to be recognized as a charge to earnings over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years. Stock appreciation rights: The company also issues stock-settled and cash-settled SARs to certain key non-U.S. employees. SARs have a contractual term of 10 years and vest ratably on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant. SARs are granted with an exercise price equal to the market value of a share of Snap-on’s common stock on the date of grant. Stock-settled SARs are accounted for as equity instruments and provide for the issuance of Snap-on common stock equal to the amount by which the company’s stock has appreciated over the exercise price. Stock-settled SARs have an effect on dilutive shares and shares outstanding as any appreciation of Snap-on’s common stock value over the exercise price will be settled in shares of common stock. Cash-settled SARs provide for the cash payment of the excess of the fair market value of Snap-on’s common stock price on the date of exercise over the grant price. Cash-settled SARs have no effect on dilutive shares or shares outstanding as any appreciation of Snap-on’s common stock over the grant price is paid in cash and not in common stock. The fair value of stock-settled SARs is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The fair value of cash-settled SARs is revalued (mark-to-market) each reporting period using the Black-Scholes valuation model based on Snap-on’s period-end stock price. The company uses historical data regarding SARs exercise and forfeiture behaviors for different participating groups to estimate the expected term of the SARs granted based on the period of time that similar instruments granted are expected to be outstanding. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the company’s stock for the length of time corresponding to the expected term of the SARs. The expected dividend yield is based on the expected annual dividend as a percentage of the market value of our common stock as of the date of grant (for stock-settled SARs) or reporting date (for cash-settled SARs). The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. treasury yield curve in effect as of the grant date (for stock-settled SARs) or reporting date (for cash-settled SARs) for the length of time corresponding to the expected term of the SARs. The following weighted-average assumptions were used in calculating the fair value of stock-settled SARs granted during the three months ended April 1, 2023, and April 2, 2022, using the Black-Scholes valuation model: Three Months Ended April 1, 2023 April 2, 2022 Expected term of stock-settled SARs (in years) 4.08 4.02 Expected volatility factor 24.68% 23.09% Expected dividend yield 2.60% 2.68% Risk-free interest rate 3.87% 1.96% A summary of stock-settled SARs as of and for the three months ended April 1, 2023, are as follows: Stock-settled SARs (in thousands) Exercise Remaining Contractual Term* (in years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in millions) Outstanding at December 31, 2022 385 $ 170.11 Granted 62 249.26 Exercised (23) 153.93 Forfeited or expired (37) 159.87 Outstanding at April 1, 2023 387 184.66 6.8 $ 24.3 Exercisable at April 1, 2023 255 163.58 5.6 21.2 * Weighted-average The weighted-average grant date fair value of stock-settled SARs granted during the three months ended April 1, 2023, and April 2, 2022, was $48.85 and $32.63, respectively. The intrinsic value of stock-settled SARs exercised was $2.2 million and $0.2 million during the respective three month periods ended April 1, 2023, and April 2, 2022. The fair value of stock-settled SARs vested was $1.9 million and $2.0 million during the respective three month periods ended April 1, 2023, and April 2, 2022. As of April 1, 2023, there was $4.8 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock-settled SARs that is expected to be recognized as a charge to earnings over a weighted-average period of 2.1 years. The following weighted-average assumptions were used in calculating the fair value of cash-settled SARs granted during the three months ended April 1, 2023, and April 2, 2022, using the Black-Scholes valuation model: Three Months Ended April 1, 2023 April 2, 2022 Expected term of cash-settled SARs (in years) 3.96 3.88 Expected volatility factor 24.42% 23.09% Expected dividend yield 2.62% 2.79% Risk-free interest rate 3.60% 2.58% The intrinsic value of cash-settled SARs exercised was $0.4 million for both the respective three month periods ended April 1, 2023, and April 2, 2022. The fair value of cash-settled SARs vested was $0.1 million for both the three month periods ended April 1, 2023, and April 2, 2022. Changes to the company’s non-vested cash-settled SARs during the three months ended April 1, 2023, are as follows: Cash-settled SARs (in thousands) Fair Value Non-vested cash-settled SARs at December 31, 2022 2 $ 53.24 Granted 1 48.85 Vested (1) 72.11 Non-vested cash-settled SARs at April 1, 2023 2 54.52 * Weighted-average As of April 1, 2023, there was $0.1 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested cash-settled SARs that is expected to be recognized as a charge to earnings over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years. Restricted stock awards – non-employee directors: The company awarded 5,760 shares and 6,525 shares of restricted stock to non-employee directors for the respective three month periods ended April 1, 2023, and April 2, 2022. The fair value of the restricted stock awards is expensed over a one-year vesting period based on the fair value on the date of grant. All restrictions generally lapse upon the earlier of the first anniversary of the grant date, the recipient’s death or disability or in the event of a change in control, as defined in the 2011 Plan. If termination of the recipient’s service occurs prior to the first anniversary of the grant date for any reason other than death or disability, the shares of restricted stock would be forfeited, unless otherwise determined by the Board. Employee stock purchase plan: Substantially all Snap-on employees in the United States and Canada are eligible to participate in an employee stock purchase plan. The purchase price of the company’s common stock to participants is the lesser of the mean of the high and low price of the stock on the beginning date (May 15) or ending date (the following May 14) of each plan year. The company records compensation expense when Snap-on’s period-end stock price is greater than the plan purchase price. There were no share issuances under this plan for the three month periods ended April 1, 2023, and April 2, 2022. As of April 1, 2023, 578,823 shares were reserved for issuance under this plan and Snap-on held participant contributions of approximately $4.7 million. Participants are able to withdraw from the plan at any time prior to the ending date and receive back all contributions made during the plan year.
