Share Repurchases

Our Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to approximately $8.1 billion of our common stock under a plan originally approved in 2013 and subsequently expanded, most recently in February 2023 (the “Stock Repurchase Program”). During the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, we did not repurchase shares of common stock under the Stock Repurchase Program. As of June 30, 2026, approximately $757 million of authorization remained available to repurchase common stock under the Stock Repurchase Program.

Common stock repurchases under the Stock Repurchase Program do not include shares withheld to satisfy employees’ income tax liabilities attributable to the vesting of restricted stock unit awards.
