6. Net income per ordinary share
Basic
net income per ordinary share has been computed by dividing net
income available to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average
number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted
net income per ordinary share is computed by adjusting the weighted
average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period for
all potentially dilutive ordinary shares outstanding during the
period and adjusting net income for any changes in income or loss
that would result from the conversion of such potential ordinary
shares. There is no difference in net income used for basic and
diluted net income per ordinary share.

basic and diluted net income per ordinary share is as

7. Share-based Awards
Share Options
On
July 21, 2008 the Company adopted the Employee Share Option Plan
2008 (the “2008 Employee Plan”) pursuant to which the
Compensation and Organization Committee of the Company’s
Board of Directors may grant options to any employee, or any
director holding a salaried office or employment with the Company
or a Subsidiary for the purchase of ordinary shares. On the same
date, the Company also adopted the Consultants Share Option Plan
2008 (the “2008 Consultants Plan”), pursuant to which
the Compensation and Organization Committee of the Company’s
Board of Directors may grant options to any consultant, adviser or
non-executive director retained by the Company or any Subsidiary
for the purchase of ordinary shares.
Each
option granted under the 2008 Employee Plan or the 2008 Consultants
Plan (together the “2008 Option Plans”) will be an
employee stock option, or NSO, as described in Section 422 or 423
of the Internal Revenue Code. Each grant of an option under the
2008 Options Plans will be evidenced by a Stock Option Agreement
between the optionee and the Company. The exercise price will be
specified in each Stock Option Agreement, however option prices
will not be less than 100% of the fair market value of an ordinary
share on the date the option is granted.
An
aggregate of 6.0 million ordinary shares have been reserved under
the 2008 Employee Plan, as reduced by any shares issued or to be
issued pursuant to options granted under the 2008 Consultants Plan,
under which a limit of 400,000 shares applies. Further,
the maximum number of ordinary shares with respect to which options
may be granted under the 2008 Employee Option Plan, during any
calendar year to any employee shall be 400,000 ordinary
shares. There is no individual limit under the 2008
Consultants Plan. No options may be granted under
the 2008 Option Plans after July 21, 2018.
On
January 17, 2003 the Company adopted the Share Option Plan 2003
(the “2003 Share Option Plan”) pursuant to which the
Compensation and Organization Committee of the Board could grant
options to officers and other employees of the Company or its
subsidiaries for the purchase of ordinary shares. An
aggregate of 6.0 million ordinary shares were reserved under the
2003 Share Option Plan; and, in no event could the number of
ordinary shares issued pursuant to options awarded under this plan
exceed 10% of the outstanding shares, as defined in the 2003 Share
Option Plan, at the time of the grant, unless the Board expressly
determined otherwise. Further, the maximum number of ordinary
shares with respect to which options could be granted under the
2003 Share Option Plan during any calendar year to any employee was
400,000 ordinary shares. The 2003 Share Option Plan
expired on January 17, 2013. No new options may be
granted under this plan.
Share
option awards are granted with an exercise price equal to the
market price of the Company’s shares at date of
grant. Share options typically vest over a period of
five years from date of grant and expire eight years from date of
grant. The maximum contractual term of options
outstanding at September 30, 2013 is eight years.
The
following table summarizes option activity for the nine months
ended September 30, 2013:
The
Company has granted options with fair values ranging from $3.68 to
$13.93 per option or a weighted average fair value of $8.19 per
option. The Company issues ordinary shares for all options
exercised. The total amount of fully vested share options which
remained outstanding at September 30, 2013, was 1,858,811. Fully
vested share options at September 30, 2013 have an average
remaining contractual term of 3.17 years, an average exercise price
of $24.24 and a total intrinsic value of $31.0 million. The total
intrinsic value of options exercised during the nine months ended
September 30, 2013 was $29.5 million (September 30, 2012: $4.8
million).
The
following table summarizes the movement in non-vested share options
for the nine months ended September 30, 2013:
Fair value of Stock Options Assumptions
No
options were granted during the three months to September 30, 2013.
The weighted average fair value of options granted during the nine
months ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012 was
calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing
model. The weighted average fair values and assumptions
used were as follows:
Expected
volatility is based on the historical volatility of our common
stock over a period equal to the expected term of the options; the
expected life represents the weighted average period of time that
options granted are expected to be outstanding given consideration
to vesting schedules and our historical experience of past vesting
and termination patterns. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S.
government zero-coupon bonds yield curve in effect at time of the
grant for periods corresponding with the expected life of the
option.
Restricted Share Units and Performance Share Units
On
July 21, 2008 the Company adopted the 2008 Employees Restricted
Share Unit Plan (the “2008 RSU Plan”) pursuant to which
the Compensation and Organization Committee of the Company’s
Board of Directors may select any employee, or any director holding
a salaried office or employment with the Company, or a Subsidiary
to receive an award under the plan. An aggregate of 1.0
million ordinary shares have been reserved for issuance under the
2008 RSU Plan.
On
April 23, 2013 the Company adopted the 2013 Employees Restricted
Share Unit and Performance Share Unit Plan (the “2013 RSU and
PSU Plan”) pursuant to which the Compensation and
Organization Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors
may select any employee, or any director holding a salaried office
or employment with the Company, or a Subsidiary to receive an award
under the plan. An aggregate of 1.6 million ordinary
shares have been reserved for issuance under the 2013 RSU and PSU
Plan.
The
Company has awarded RSU’s and PSU’s to certain key
individuals of the Group. The following table summarizes RSU
activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2013:
The
fair value of RSU’s vested for the nine months ended
September 30, 2013 totaled $1.1 million (No RSU’s vested
during 2012).
No
PSU’s vested during either the first nine months of 2013 or
the full year 2012.
The
PSU’s vest based on service and specified EPS targets. The
maximum number of PSU’s that could vest based on PSU’s
outstanding is 359,570, based on attaining cumulative EPS targets
over the period 2013 – 2015.
Non-cash stock compensation expense
Non-cash
stock compensation expense for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2013 has been allocated as follows:
Total
non-cash stock compensation expense not yet recognized at September
30, 2013 amounted to $38.5 million. The weighted average
period over which this is expected to be recognized is 2.7
years. Total tax benefit recognized in additional paid
in capital related to the non-cash compensation expense amounted to
$0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013
(September 30, 2012: $0.9 million).

| Business Segment Information |
8. Business Segment Information
The
Company determines and presents operating segments based on the
information that is internally provided to the Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, who together are considered
the Company’s chief operating decision maker, in accordance
with FASB ASC 280-10 Disclosures about Segments of
an Enterprise and Related Information.
The
Company is a contract research organization (“CRO”),
providing outsourced development services on a global basis to the
pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device industries. It
specializes in the strategic development, management and analysis
of programs that support all stages of the clinical development
process - from compound selection to Phase I-IV clinical
studies. The Company earns revenues by providing a
number of different services to its customers. These services,
which are integral elements of the clinical development process,
include clinical trials management, biometric activities,
consulting, imaging, contract staffing, informatics and laboratory
services. The Company has the expertise and capability to conduct
clinical trials in most major therapeutic areas on a global basis
and has the operational flexibility to provide development services
on a stand-alone basis or as part of an integrated “full
service” solution. The Company has expanded
predominately through organic growth, together with a number of
strategic acquisitions to enhance its expertise and capabilities in
certain areas of the clinical development process.
Historically,
the Group organized, operated and assessed its business in two
segments, the clinical research segment and the central laboratory
segment. In 2013 the Group have consolidated and
reclassified the results of the former central laboratory segment
into the clinical research segment as the central laboratory
segment does not reach the thresholds of net revenue, income from
operations and total assets as a requirement for being reported as
a separate segment. Management have determined that its
clinical research and central laboratory businesses operate in the
same clinical research market, have a similar customer profile, are
subject to the same regulatory environment, support the development
of new clinical therapies and are so economically similar,
reporting their results on an aggregated basis would be more useful
to users of the Company’s financial statements.
The
Company's areas of operation outside of Ireland include the United
States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, The
Netherlands, Sweden, Belgium, Poland, Czech Republic, Lithuania,
Latvia, Russia, Ukraine, Hungary, Turkey, Israel, Romania, Canada,

The estimated measure of the percentage by which a share price is expected to fluctuate during a period. Volatility also may be defined as a probability-weighted measure of the dispersion of returns about the mean. The volatility of a share price is the standard deviation of the continuously compounded rates of return on the share over a specified period. That is the same as the standard deviation of the differences in the natural logarithms of the stock prices plus dividends, if any, over the period.
