Share Repurchase Programs

On November 7, 2018, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase up to $75.0 million of our common stock over a two-year time period. On October 30, 2020, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized a new program to repurchase up to $100.0 million of our common stock, which replaced the previously announced $75.0 million program. On December 16, 2022, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized a new $100.0 million share repurchase program, which replaced the previously announced $100.0 million program. Under the current repurchase program, shares may be repurchased from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. Repurchases will be made at our discretion, based on ongoing assessments of the capital needs of the business, the market price of our common stock and general market conditions. Our Board of Directors has established an expiration of December 31, 2024 for completion of the new repurchase program; however, the program may be limited or terminated at any time at our discretion without notice.

Under the current $100.0 million repurchase program, 53,133 shares were repurchased during the year ended March 31, 2024 for $10.5 million and no shares were repurchased during the year ended March 31, 2023. Under the prior $100.0 million repurchase program, no shares were repurchased during the year ended March 31, 2024 and 336,347 shares were repurchased during the year ended March 31, 2023 for $35.7 million. A total of 462,462 shares had been repurchased for an aggregate amount of $50.1 million under the prior $100.0 million program. As of March 31, 2024, a total of 53,133 shares were repurchased for an aggregate amount of $10.5 million under the current $100.0 million program.

Dividends

On April 4, 2019, we announced we had commenced a dividend program and that our Board of Directors approved a regular quarterly dividend of $0.135 per share. On April 15, 2021, we announced a quarterly dividend increase to $0.15 per share. On April 14, 2022, we announced a quarterly dividend increase to $0.17 per share. On April 14, 2023, we announced a quarterly dividend increase to $0.19 per share. On April 12, 2024, we announced a quarterly dividend increase to $0.21 per share, which dividend was paid on May 10, 2024 to shareholders of record as of April 26, 2024. Any future dividends at the existing $0.21 per share quarterly rate or otherwise will be reviewed individually and declared by our Board of Directors in its
discretion. Total dividends of $11.9 million and $10.6 million were paid during the years ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
