Share Repurchase Programs
In September 2021, the Board approved a strategic share repurchase program of up to $500 million (September 2021 program). The September 2021 program has no expiration date, but it may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Repurchases under the September 2021 program may be made in open-market or privately negotiated transactions.
In September 2024, the Board authorized a new anti-dilutive share repurchase program of up to $250 million (September 2024 program) to offset the impact of dilution from shares issued under our stock compensation programs. The September 2024 program has no expiration date, but it may be discontinued at any time. Repurchases under the September 2024 program may be made in open-market or privately negotiated transactions. The September 2024 program replaced an anti-dilutive share repurchase program of up to $250 million that was approved by the Board in June 2021 and has been terminated.
In 2025, we repurchased 1.303 million shares at a cost of $62 million pursuant to our anti-dilutive share repurchase program. In 2024 and 2023, we repurchased 1.56 million shares at a cost of $67 million and 2.698 million shares at a cost of $142 million, respectively. As of August 3, 2025, approximately $198 million remained available under the September 2024 program and approximately $301 million remained under the September 2021 program.
