Item 1A. Risk Factors

An investment in our common stock involves risks. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider all the information within Part I, Item 2, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," as well as in our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes contained in Part I, Item 1 within this Quarterly Report. In addition, you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of our 2021 Annual Report, as well as in our other public filings with the SEC. If any of the identified risks are realized, our business, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In that case, the trading price of our common stock may decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. In addition, other risks of which we are currently unaware, or which we do not currently view as material, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects.

During the three months ended December 31, 2021, there were no material changes to the risks and uncertainties described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of our 2021 Annual Report.

Our Board of Directors has authorized various stock repurchase programs pursuant to which we may repurchase shares of our common stock. Our Board of Directors approved an additional authorization of $750,000 during April 2021 to repurchase our common stock under the same conditions as our prior stock repurchase program. Our stock repurchase programs do not obligate us to acquire any amount of common stock and may be suspended at any time at our discretion.

Our current revolving credit agreements allow us to make stock repurchases under these programs, so long as we do not exceed certain leverage ratios and no event of default has occurred under these agreements. As of December 31, 2021, no defaults have occurred under our credit agreements.

Below is a summary of stock repurchase activity under our stock repurchase programs during the three months ended December 31, 2021:

*Any share repurchases are made as part of publicly announced programs in open-market transactions.

** May not calculate on rounded dollars.

Subsequent to December 31, 2021 through January 20, 2022, we repurchased 2,643 shares for $973 at an average price of $368.25 per share, and have $543,003 remaining authorized under our stock repurchase programs.
