Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
(amounts in millions)
The Company, in the normal course of doing business, is exposed to a variety of risks, including market risks associated with foreign currency exchange rates and changes in interest rates. The Company does not have any significant concentration with any one counterparty. There has been no material change in the Company’s assessment of its sensitivity to foreign currency exchange rate risk since its presentation set forth in Part II, Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk in its 2023 Annual Report. From time to time, the Company may borrow under the Revolving Credit Facility and Commercial Paper Programs. In addition to the outstanding borrowings under the Company’s Euro Notes (as discussed in Note 4 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements), any borrowings under the Euro Commercial Paper Program and Revolving Credit Facility have been and may continue to be denominated in various foreign currencies, including the Euro, and there can be no assurance that the Company can
successfully manage changes in exchange rates, including in the event of a significant and sudden decline in the value of any of the foreign currencies in which such borrowings are made.
The Company manages its exposure to interest rate risk through a mix of fixed and variable rate debt. The Company currently has various fixed rate senior notes outstanding, in both the United States and Europe, with various maturity dates, the most recent of which were issued in April 2024. In addition, any borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at rates that fluctuate with a spread that varies, based on the Company’s debt rating, over certain currency-specific benchmark rates, which benchmark rates in the case of U.S. dollar borrowings are either the base rate or the adjusted term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). Any borrowings under the Commercial Paper Programs are subject to floating interest rates. Therefore, when the Company borrows under these debt instruments, the Company is exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, Term Loan, U.S. Commercial Paper Program and Euro Commercial Paper Program. However, the Company borrowed under the U.S. Commercial Paper Program throughout much of the first quarter of 2024, the proceeds of which were used for general corporate purposes. Although all such borrowings were repaid before the end of the first quarter of 2024, the Company may make additional borrowings under any of its debt instruments from time to time. As a result of increases in the federal funds rate by the U.S. Federal Reserve in recent years, the floating interest rates related to our U.S. Commercial Paper Program (as well as our Revolving Credit Facility, to the extent drawn upon in the future) have increased substantially, a trend that could continue through the remainder of 2024 and potentially beyond. To the extent that interest rates related to this floating rate debt increase further and the Company borrows under any of these floating interest rate instruments in the future, interest expense and interest payments would increase. Although the Company does not expect changes in interest rates to have a material effect on income or cash flows for the remainder of 2024, there can be no assurance that interest rates will not change significantly from current levels.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this report. These disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on their evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Repurchase of Equity Securities
On April 27, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) authorized a stock repurchase program under which the Company may purchase up to $2.0 billion of the Company’s Class A Common Stock (“Common Stock”) during the three-year period ending April 27, 2024 (the “2021 Stock Repurchase Program”). During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company repurchased 1.4 million shares of its Common Stock for $153.8 million under the 2021 Stock Repurchase Program. All of the repurchased shares during the first three months of 2024 were retired by the Company. From April 1, 2024 to April 26, 2024, the Company repurchased 0.6 million additional shares of its Common Stock for $71.8 million, which were the final repurchases under the 2021 Stock Repurchase Program.
The table below reflects the Company’s stock repurchases for the three months ended March 31, 2024:

| Total | 1,429,100 | $ | 107.61 | 1,429,100 | | | |
On April 23, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a new stock repurchase program under which the Company may purchase up to $2.0 billion of the Company’s Common Stock during the three-year period ending on the close of business on April 28, 2027 (the “2024 Stock Repurchase Program”). The 2024 Stock Repurchase Program becomes effective on April 29, 2024. The timing and amount of any future repurchases will depend on a number of factors, such as the levels of cash generation from operations, the volume of stock options exercised by employees, cash requirements for acquisitions, dividends paid, economic and market conditions and the price of the Common Stock.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
None.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures
Not Applicable.
