Any repurchase program with remaining availability may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Repurchased shares are and will be available for use in connection with the Company’s equity compensation plans (or any successor plans) and for other corporate purposes.
During the three and nine-month periods ended September 27, 2024, the Company repurchased approximately 2.6 million and 20.0 million shares, respectively, of the Company’s common stock for $646 million and approximately $5.2 billion, respectively, inclusive of excise taxes as part of the 2013 Repurchase Program.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
Accumulated OCI refers to certain gains and losses that under U.S. GAAP are included in comprehensive income (loss) but are excluded from net earnings as these amounts are initially recorded as an adjustment to stockholders’ equity. Foreign currency translation adjustments generally relate to indefinite investments in non-U.S. subsidiaries, as well as the impact from the Company’s hedges of its net investment in foreign operations, including the Company’s cross-currency swap derivatives, net of any income tax impacts.
The changes in accumulated OCI by component are summarized below ($ in millions).
