NET EARNINGS PER SHARE AND SHARE REPURCHASES

NOTE 4: NET EARNINGS PER SHARE AND SHARE REPURCHASES

Our basic and diluted earnings per share were:

●

$0.11 during third quarter 2025 and $0.35 during year-to-date 2025;

●

$0.04 during third quarter 2024 and $0.43 during year-to-date 2024.

Basic earnings per share is net earnings divided by the weighted average number of our outstanding common shares, including stock equivalent units where there is no circumstance under which those shares would not be issued. Diluted earnings per share is net earnings divided by the sum of the weighted average number of our outstanding common shares and the effect of our outstanding dilutive potential common shares.

Share Repurchase Program

During second quarter 2025, we completed the $1 billion purchase authorization under the share repurchase program approved by the board in September 2021 (the 2021 Repurchase Program). On May 8, 2025, we announced the board approved a new share repurchase program (the 2025 Repurchase Program) under which we are authorized to repurchase up to $1 billion of outstanding shares. Concurrently, the board of directors terminated the completed purchase authorization under the 2021 Repurchase Program.

We repurchased 980,114 common shares for approximately $25 million (including transaction fees) under the 2025 Repurchase Program during third quarter 2025 and 5,714,095 common shares for approximately $150 million (including transaction fees) under the share repurchase programs during year-to-date 2025. As of September 30, 2025, we had remaining authorization of $948 million for future share repurchases under the 2025 Repurchase Program. During third quarter 2024, we repurchased 820,706 common shares for approximately $26 million (including transaction fees) and 3,962,220 common shares for approximately $125 million (including transaction fees) during year-to-date 2024 under the 2021 Repurchase Program.

All common stock repurchases under the share repurchase programs were made in open-market transactions. We record share repurchases upon trade date as opposed to the settlement date when cash is disbursed. We record a liability for repurchases that have not yet been settled as of period end. There were no unsettled shares as of September 30, 2025 and 12,436 unsettled shares (less than $1 million) as of December 31, 2024.
