Common Stock Repurchase

NOTE 15: COMMON STOCK REPURCHASE

In August 2021, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program (“2021 Stock Repurchase Program”) authorizing up to $750.0 million in repurchases of our common stock. At the end of 2023, the 2021 Stock Repurchase Program had remaining authorized funds of $115.3 million.

On January 28, 2024, our Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase program (“2024 Stock Repurchase Program”) authorizing up to $800.0 million in repurchases of our common stock. The 2024 Stock Repurchase Program replaced the 2021 Stock Repurchase Program, which has been cancelled. Under the 2024 Stock Repurchase Program, the stock repurchase authorization does not have an expiration date.

According to the 2024 Stock Repurchase Program, we may repurchase stock from time to time through accelerated share repurchase programs, open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, block purchases, tender offers, 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 2024 Stock Repurchase Program may be suspended, modified, or discontinued at any time without prior notice.

During 2023, 2022, and 2021, we repurchased approximately 2.4 million, 6.0 million, and 2.1 million shares of common stock in open market purchases at an average price of $42.50, $65.90, and $85.75 per share for a total of $100.0 million, $394.7 million, and $180.0 million.

Stock repurchases are reflected as a decrease to common stock based on par value and additional-paid-in-capital, determined by the average book value per share of outstanding stock, calculated at the time of each individual repurchase transaction. The excess of the purchase price over this average for each repurchase was charged to retained earnings. Common stock repurchases under the program were recorded based upon the trade date for accounting purposes. As a result of the 2023 repurchases under the 2021 Stock Repurchase Program, retained earnings was reduced by $79.0 million in 2023.
