Our Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to approximately $8.1 billion of our common stock under a plan originally approved in 2013 and subsequently expanded, most recently in February 2023 (the “Stock Repurchase Program”). During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we repurchased approximately 0.1 million shares of common stock at a cost of approximately $8 million (excluding excise taxes due under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022) under the Stock Repurchase Program. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we repurchased approximately 2.9 million shares of common stock at a cost of approximately $633 million (excluding excise taxes due under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022) under the Stock Repurchase Program. As of September 30, 2024, approximately $794 million of authorization remained available to repurchase common stock under the Stock Repurchase Program.

Common stock repurchases under the Stock Repurchase Program do not include shares withheld to satisfy employees’ income tax liabilities attributable to the vesting of restricted stock unit awards.
