Note 10. Stockholders’ Equity

Stock Option Activity

A summary of stock option activity for the three months ended April 30, 2018 is as follows:

 

 

During the three months ended April 30, 2018, we granted 175,000 stock options, respectively, under the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (EIP). The weighted average grant-date fair value of options granted was $35.04  for the three months ended April 30, 2018.

As of April 30, 2018, there was $113.4 million in unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options granted under the 2007 Stock Plan (2007 Plan), 2012 Equity Incentive Plan and 2013 EIP. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.9 years.

As of April 30, 2018, we had authorized and unissued shares of common stock sufficient to satisfy exercises of stock options.

The total intrinsic value of options exercised was approximately $48.4 million for the three months ended April 30, 2018.

Restricted Stock Units

A summary of restricted stock unit (RSU) activity for the three months ended April 30, 2018 is as follows:

 

 

During the three months ended April 30, 2018, we granted 637,710 RSUs under the 2013 EIP with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $69.94 .

As of April 30, 2018, there was a total of $134.0 million in unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSUs. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.6 years.

Stock-Based Compensation

Compensation expense related to share-based transactions, including equity awards to employees, consultants, and non-employee directors, is measured and recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements based on fair value. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the grant date using the Monte Carlo simulation or Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The stock-based compensation expense is recognized using a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally four to nine years. For RSUs, fair value is based on the closing price of our common stock on the grant date.

Our option-pricing model requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the fair value of the underlying common stock, the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of the price of our common stock, risk-free interest rates, and the expected dividend yield of our common stock. The assumptions used in our option-pricing model represent management’s best estimates. These estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. If factors change and different assumptions are used, our stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.

The following table presents the weighted-average assumptions used to estimate the grant date fair value of options granted during the periods presented:

 

 

For the three months ended April 30, 2018 and 2017, we capitalized an immaterial amount of stock-based compensation as part of our internal-use software capitalization.
