Shareholders' Equity

We declared dividends totaling $5.4 million ($0.25 per share) in the first three months of fiscal 2025, compared to dividends paid of $5.2 million ($0.24 per share) in the comparable prior year period.

During fiscal 2004, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program allowing us to repurchase shares of our outstanding common stock, with subsequent increases in authorization. During the three-months ended June 1, 2024, we repurchased 241,573 shares under the program, for a total cost of $15.1 million, inclusive of the applicable excise tax. During the three-months ended May 27, 2023, we repurchased 119,916 shares under the program, for a total cost of $5.2 million. We have repurchased a total of 11,518,090 shares, at a total cost of $408.5 million, since the inception of this program in fiscal 2004. We have remaining authority to repurchase 2,731,910 shares under this program, which has no expiration date. We may also elect to repurchase additional shares of common stock under our authorization, subject to limitations contained in our debt

agreements and based upon our assessment of a number of factors, including share price, trading volume and general market conditions, working capital requirements, general business conditions, financial conditions, any applicable contractual limitations, and other factors, including alternative investment opportunities. We may finance share repurchases with available cash, additional debt or other sources of financing.
