Share repurchases

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we repurchased 100 thousand shares of our common stock with an aggregate price of approximately $20.7 million, or $206.90 price per share. Repurchases during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 amounted to approximately 315 thousand shares of our common stock with an aggregate price of approximately $66.4 million, or $210.94 average price per share. The effect of these treasury shares in reducing the number of common shares outstanding is reflected in our earnings per share calculation. We did not repurchase any common stock during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

On February 22, 2024, we announced that our board of directors authorized a new stock repurchase program that allows for the repurchase of up to $300.0 million of our outstanding common stock. The new program replaces the previous program and is in effect through March 1, 2025.

Dividends

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we declared and paid the following cash dividends (amount declared and amount paid in millions):

Declaration Date	Record Date	Payment Date	Dividend Per Share		Amount Declared		Amount Paid
2/22/2024	3/15/2024	3/31/2024	$	1.60	$	45.5	$	45.1
2/22/2024	3/15/2024	3/31/2024	0.35		10.0		9.8

8/1/2024	9/15/2024	9/30/2024	0.35		9.8		9.8

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we declared and paid the following cash dividends (amount declared and amount paid in millions):

Declaration Date	Record Date	Payment Date	Dividend Per Share		Amount Declared		Amount Paid
2/22/2023	3/15/2023	3/31/2023	$	0.90	$	25.5	$	25.3
2/22/2023	3/15/2023	3/31/2023	0.33		9.4		9.2
5/5/2023	6/15/2023	6/30/2023	0.33		9.4		9.3
8/2/2023	9/15/2023	9/30/2023	0.33		9.4		9.3

The amount of dividends declared may vary from the amount of dividends paid in a period due to the vesting of restricted stock awards and performance share awards, which accrue dividend equivalent rights that are paid when the award vests. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we also paid $0.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively, in accrued dividends not included in the table above related to the vesting of these awards. The payment of future dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our future earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, future prospects, results of operations, contractual restrictions, legal requirements, and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors.
