10. Stockholders’ Equity
Stock Repurchase Programs and Treasury Shares
Intuit’s Board of Directors has authorized a series of common stock repurchase programs. Shares of common stock repurchased under these programs become treasury shares. During the three months ended October 31, 2022, we repurchased a total of 1.2 million shares for $519 million under these programs. Included in this amount were $19 million of repurchases which occurred in late October 2022 and settled in early November 2022. On August 19, 2022, our Board approved an increase in the authorization under the existing stock repurchase program under which we are authorized to repurchase up to an additional $2 billion of our common stock. At October 31, 2022, we had authorization from our Board of Directors to expend up to $3.0 billion for stock repurchases. Future stock repurchases under the current program are at the discretion of management, and authorization of future stock repurchase programs is subject to the final determination of our Board of Directors.
Our treasury shares are repurchased at the market price on the trade date; accordingly, all amounts paid to reacquire these shares have been recorded as treasury stock on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Repurchased shares of our common stock are held as treasury shares until they are reissued or retired. When we reissue treasury stock, if the proceeds from the sale are more than the average price we paid to acquire the shares we record an increase in additional paid-in capital. Conversely, if the proceeds from the sale are less than the average price we paid to acquire the shares, we record a decrease in additional paid-in capital to the extent of increases previously recorded for similar transactions and a decrease in retained earnings for any remaining amount.
In the past we have satisfied option exercises and restricted stock unit vesting under our employee equity incentive plans by reissuing treasury shares, and we may do so again in the future. During the second quarter of fiscal 2014, we began issuing new shares of common stock to satisfy option exercises and RSU vesting under our 2005 Equity Incentive Plan. We have not yet determined the ultimate disposition of the shares that we have repurchased in the past, and consequently we continue to hold them as treasury shares.
Dividends on Common Stock
During the three months ended October 31, 2022, we declared quarterly cash dividends that totaled $0.78 per share of outstanding common stock for a total of $225 million. In November 2022, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.78 per share of outstanding common stock payable on January 18, 2023, to stockholders of record at the close of business on January 10, 2023. Future declarations of dividends and the establishment of future record dates and payment dates are subject to the final determination of our Board of Directors.
