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

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 March 31, 2015 is eight years.
The
following table summarizes option activity for the three months
ended March 31, 2015:
The
Company has granted options with fair values ranging from $5.88 to
$19.78 per option or a weighted average fair value of $10.64 per
option. The Company issues ordinary shares for all options
exercised. The total amount of fully vested share options which
remained outstanding at March 31, 2015, was 924,768. Fully vested
share options at March 31, 2015, have an average remaining
contractual term of 3.42 years, an average exercise price of $25.53
and a total intrinsic value of $41.6 million. The total intrinsic
value of options exercised during the three months ended March 31,
2015 was $12.6 million (March 31, 2014: $8.9 million).
The
following table summarizes the movement in non-vested share options
for the three months ended March 31, 2015:
Fair value of Stock Options Assumptions
The
weighted average fair value of options granted during the three
months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014 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

| 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, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer, who
together are considered the Company’s chief operating
decision makers, 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 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 internal growth, together with a
number of strategic acquisitions to enhance its expertise and
capabilities in certain areas of the clinical development
process.
The
Company is generally awarded projects based upon responses to
requests for proposals received from companies in the
pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device industries or work
orders executed under our strategic partnership
arrangements. Contracts with customer are generally
entered into centrally, in most cases with ICON Clinical Research
Limited (“ICON Ireland”), the Company’s principal
operating subsidiary in Ireland. Revenues, which consist
primarily of fees earned under these contracts, are allocated to
individual entities within the Group, based on where the work is
performed in accordance with the Company’s global transfer
pricing model.
ICON
Ireland acts as the group entrepreneur under the Company’s
global transfer pricing model given its role in the development and
management of the group, it’s ownership of key intellectual
property and customer relationships, its key role in the mitigation
of risks faced by the group and its responsibility for maintaining
the Company’s global network. As such
it enters into the majority of the Company’s customer
contracts.
ICON
Ireland remunerates other operating entities in the ICON Group on
the basis of a guaranteed cost plus mark up for the services they
perform in each of their local territories. The cost
plus mark up for each ICON entity is established to ensure that
each of ICON Ireland and the ICON entities that are involved in the
conduct of services for customers, earn an appropriate arms-length
return having regard to the assets owned, risks borne, and
functions performed by each entity from these intercompany
transactions. The cost plus mark-up policy is reviewed annually to
ensure that it is market appropriate.
The
geographic split of revenue disclosed for each region outside
Ireland is the cost plus revenue attributable to these entities.
The residual revenues of the Group, once each ICON entity has been
paid its respective intercompany service fee, generally fall to be
retained by ICON Ireland. As such revenues and income
from operations in Ireland are a function of this global transfer
pricing model and comprise net revenues of the Group after
deducting the cost plus revenues attributable to the activities
performed outside Ireland.
The
Company's areas of operation outside of Ireland include the United
States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, The
Netherlands, Sweden, Turkey, Poland, Czech Republic, Lithuania,
Latvia, Russia, Ukraine, Hungary, Israel, Romania, Switzerland,
Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Argentina, Chile, Peru, India,
China, South Korea, Japan, Thailand, Taiwan, Singapore, The
Philippines, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa.
