The statement of earnings classification of amounts reclassified to net income for cash flow hedges is disclosed in “Note N – Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities.”

 

On March 24, 2021, the Board authorized the repurchase of up to 5,618,464 common shares. During the current year period, we repurchased a total of 450,000 common shares under this authorization leaving 4,915,000 common shares available for repurchase at February 28, 2026.

 

Common shares may be repurchased from time to time, with consideration given to the market price of the common shares, the nature of other investment opportunities, cash flows from operations, general economic conditions and other relevant considerations. Repurchases may be made on the open market or through privately-negotiated transactions.
