Item 1A. Risk Factors

Risk Factors:

We are subject to various risks and uncertainties that may affect our business, results of operations and financial condition including not limited to, those described in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (“2022 Form 10-K”). Current global economic and geopolitical events and conditions may amplify many of these risks. These risks are not the only risks that may affect us. Additional risks that we are not aware of or do not believe are material at the time of this filing may also become important factors that adversely affect our business. There have been no material changes to the Company’s risk factors since the 2022 Form 10-K.

(1)Our stock repurchase programs are intended to programmatically offset the impact of dilution from our equity compensation programs and, subject to market conditions and other factors, to make opportunistic and programmatic repurchases of our common stock to reduce our outstanding share count. Any share repurchases under our stock repurchase programs may be made through open market transactions, block trades, privately negotiated transactions (including accelerated share repurchase transactions) or other means at times and in such amounts as management deems appropriate and will be funded from our working capital or other financing alternatives. These stock repurchase programs have no expiration from the date of authorization.

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we repurchased approximately $250 million of our common stock under our stock repurchase programs. As of June 30, 2023, a total of approximately $2.3 billion remained available for future repurchases of our common stock under our stock repurchase programs.

We expect, subject to market conditions and other uncertainties, to continue making opportunistic and programmatic repurchases of our common stock. However, our stock repurchase programs may be limited or terminated at any time without prior notice. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including corporate and regulatory requirements, price and other market conditions and management’s determination as to the appropriate use of our cash.

(2)Excludes broker commissions and excise tax accruals.
