Share Repurchases
In January 2024, we announced a share repurchase program of up to $650 million of common stock (the “2024 Share Repurchase Program”), which expired on February 6, 2026. Under the 2024 Share Repurchase Program, we repurchased 1.0 million shares of common stock for $33 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, prior to the February 6, 2026 expiration. Under the 2024 Share Repurchase Program, we repurchased 5.6 million shares of common stock for $166 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025, and 9.0 million shares of common stock for $266 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
On January 22, 2026, we announced a new share repurchase program (the “2026 Share Repurchase Program”), which became effective on January 22, 2026 and will expire, if not earlier exhausted, on February 4, 2028. The 2026 Share Repurchase Program permits us to repurchase shares of our common stock from time to time up to an aggregate repurchase price not to exceed $500 million. Under the 2026 Share Repurchase Program, we repurchased 5.1 million shares of common stock for $132 million in the three months ended September 30, 2026, and 16.9 million shares of common stock for $383 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2026. We had $111 million of capacity remaining under the 2026 Share Repurchase Program at September 30, 2026.
On March 9, 2026, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (“ASR”) with a third-party financial institution under which we purchased $200 million of our outstanding common stock. On March 11, 2026, the third-party financial institution initially delivered to us approximately 8.4 million shares. The final total actual number of shares of common stock delivered to us was based generally upon a discount to the Rule 10b-18 volume-weighted average price at which the shares of our common stock traded during the regular trading sessions on the NASDAQ Global Select Market during the term of the ASR. The transactions were accounted for as equity transactions and were included in treasury stock, at which time there was an immediate reduction in the weighted average common shares calculation for basic and diluted earnings per share. On June 30, 2026, we completed the ASR and upon final settlement on July 1, 2026, we received an additional 0.9 million shares of common stock. In total, we repurchased 9.3 million shares of common stock under the ASR at an average price of $21.59 per share.
Under the 2026 Share Repurchase Program, repurchases may continue to occur from time to time and through a variety of methods, including open market repurchases, repurchases effected through Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, negotiated or block purchases, accelerated share repurchase programs, tender offers, or other similar transactions. The timing and volume of any repurchases are subject to market conditions, and there can be no guarantee that the Company will repurchase up to the limit of the 2026 Share Repurchase Program.
Share Repurchases under Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plans
During the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, we repurchased 5.1 million and 5.6 million shares, respectively, of our common stock at a total cost of $132 million and $166 million, respectively, and during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, we repurchased 8.8 million and 9.0 million shares, respectively, of our common stock at a total cost of $223 million and $266 million, respectively, under Rule 10b5-1 trading plans authorized under our share repurchase programs.
