Stock Repurchase Activities

In August 2021, our Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program (“2021 Stock Repurchase Program”) authorizing up to $750.0 million in repurchases of our common stock. Under the 2021 Stock Repurchase Program, the share repurchase authorization does not have an expiration date and supersedes and replaces the $600.0 million share repurchase authorization approved by our Board of Directors in November 2017 (“2017 Stock Repurchase Program”), of which $50.7 million was remaining and has been cancelled.

Under the 2021 Stock Repurchase Program, we may repurchase shares from time to time, subject to business and market conditions and other investment opportunities, through open market transactions, privately-negotiated transactions, accelerated stock repurchase plans, or by other means. The timing and actual number of any shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including market conditions, our share price, other available uses of capital, applicable legal requirements, and other factors. The 2021 Stock Repurchase Program may be suspended, modified, or discontinued at any time at the Company’s discretion without notice.

During the third quarter and first three quarters of 2021, we repurchased approximately 1.0 million and 1.6 million shares of common stock in open market purchases at an average price of $92.74 and $85.38 per share for a total of $100.0 million and $140.0 million. At the end of the third quarter of 2021, the 2021 Stock Repurchase Program had remaining authorized funds of $650.0 million.

During the third quarter and first three quarters of 2020, we repurchased approximately 0.6 million and 1.8 million shares of common stock in open market purchases at an average price of $48.70 and $43.03 per share for a total of $28.0 million and $78.0 million under the 2017 Stock Repurchase Program.

Stock repurchases are reflected as a decrease to common stock par value and additional-paid-in-capital, based on the average book value per share for all outstanding shares calculated at the time of each individual repurchase transaction. The excess of the purchase price over this average for each repurchase is charged to retained earnings. Common stock repurchases under the program are recorded based upon the trade date for accounting purposes.
