The Board initially approved the commencement of a stock repurchase program in the fall of 1996. In November 2022, the Board approved a 3,000,000 share expansion to the Company’s existing stock repurchase program, increasing the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock approved for repurchase over the life of the program to 117,000,000 shares. The stock repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any amount of common stock and may be suspended or discontinued at any time at its discretion. During the quarter ended December 31, 2024, the Company effected the Stock Split. All prior period share, equity award and per share amounts and calculations in these consolidated financial statements and elsewhere in this report have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Stock Split.

Since the commencement of the stock repurchase program, the Company has spent $823 million on the repurchase of 114,396,030 shares of its common stock, equal to 69% of the outstanding common stock had there been no repurchases. The average price of these repurchases was $7.19 per share. These repurchases were funded primarily by the net earnings of the Company, along with proceeds from the exercise of common stock options.

During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, the Company repurchased 85,710 shares of the common stock for $9.5 million at an average price of $111.87 per share and 296,493 shares for $28.6 million at an average price of $96.81, respectively. The Company had 51,367,173 shares of common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2024, net of the 114,396,030 shares in treasury.

During the period subsequent to the quarter ended December 31, 2024, the Company repurchased 28,233 shares of the common stock for $3.1 million at an average price of $111.51 per share under the Company’s stock repurchase program.
