We have neither declared nor paid any cash dividends on our common stock since our initial public offering. Our future dividend policy with respect to our common stock will depend upon our earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, debt restrictions and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors in its sole discretion.

Our outstanding debt facilities may limit the amount of dividends we are permitted to pay and share repurchases under the Share Repurchase Program and the New Share Repurchase Program (each as defined below). We may pay dividends and buy back shares under the New Share Repurchase Program in an unlimited amount so long as, after giving effect thereto, the consolidated total net leverage ratio (calculated in accordance with our Credit Agreement) does not exceed 2.75 to 1.00. Additionally, under a different provision, so long as no default has occurred and is continuing or results therefrom, our Credit Agreement permits us to pay cash dividends to our common stockholders, buy back shares under the New Share Repurchase Program, or a combination thereof, in an amount up to $350.0 million per year. See Note 9: ''Long-Term Debt'' in the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for further discussion of our Credit Agreement.

Share Repurchase Program

In February 2023, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase Program”), which allowed for the repurchase of our common stock from time to time through a variety of methods, including in privately negotiated transactions or open market transactions, such as pursuant to a trading plan in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act or a combination of methods. The Share Repurchase Program, which did not require us to purchase any minimum amount of our common stock, allowed for repurchases up to $3.0 billion from February 8, 2023 through December 31, 2025 (exclusive of fees, commissions and other expenses). Any repurchases were at the Company’s discretion and subject to market conditions, the price of our shares and other factors.

The repurchases under the Share Repurchase Program amounted to an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1,375 million during the year ended December 31, 2025 (excluding fees, commissions and other expenses). There were approximately $650 million in repurchases of common stock for the year ended December 31, 2024 and approximately $564 million in repurchases of common stock under the previous share repurchase program during the year ended December 31, 2023 (in each case excluding fees, commissions and other expenses).

New Share Repurchase Program

In November 2025, the Board of Directors approved a new Share Repurchase Program (the "New Share Repurchase Program") under which the Company may repurchase up to an aggregate of $6.0 billion of the Company's common stock (exclusive of fees, commissions and other expenses). Under the New Share Repurchase Program, which does not require the Company to purchase any minimum amount of common stock or at all, the Company may repurchase shares from January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2028. The New Share Repurchase Program may be modified, suspended or terminated by the Board of Directors at any time without prior notice.

Through February 4, 2026, the Company acquired 2.9 million shares for $175.6 million under the New Share Repurchase Program pursuant to a 10b5-1 trading arrangement.
