Stock-Based Compensation Expense

Components of stock-based compensation included in selling, general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statements of net and comprehensive income consisted of the following (in thousands, except common stock price):

 

     Three Months
Ended March 31,
 
     2016      2015  

Employee stock purchase plan

     48       $ 62   

RSAs – non-employee directors

     89         59   

RSUs – employees

     658         527   

RSUs – independent contractors (1)

     530         1,259   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 
   $ 1,325       $ 1,907   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

Common stock price at beginning of period

   $ 29.14       $ 33.25   

Common stock price at end of period

   $ 25.39       $ 37.48   

(Decrease) increase in stock price

   $ (3.75    $ 4.23   

 

(1)  The Company grants RSUs to independent contractors (i.e. investment sales and financing professionals), who are considered non-employees under ASC 718. Accordingly, such awards are required to be measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period until settlement. Stock-based compensation expense is therefore impacted by the changes in the Company’s common stock price during each reporting period.
