Share repurchase program
In February 2023, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program (the “2023 Share Repurchase
Program”), pursuant to which we were authorized to repurchase up to $3.0 billion of our common stock. As of September 30,
2025, we had repurchased the full amount authorized under the 2023 Share Repurchase Program.
In May 2025, our Board of Directors authorized an additional share repurchase program (the “2025 Share Repurchase
Program”), pursuant to which we are authorized to repurchase up to $4.0 billion of our common stock. The 2025 Share
Repurchase Program does not have an expiration date and can be discontinued at any time.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we repurchased 0.7 million and 0.9 million shares of our
common stock under our share repurchase programs, respectively, for aggregate repurchases of $344.5 million and $416.9
million, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, we had $3.0 billion remaining available under the 2025 Share Repurchase
Program.
