As of May 22, 2026, the Company repurchased $260 million of Class A common stock in the second quarter, exhausting its prior authorization of $300 million. After accounting for the increased authorization, there is $300 million of authorization remaining available under the current program.
"The increased authorization of our share repurchase program reflects the Board's ongoing confidence in our long-term strategy," said Patrick G.

The timing of purchases and number of shares repurchased under the program will depend upon a variety of factors including the Company's stock price, trading volume, working capital or other liquidity requirements, and market conditions. The Company is not obligated to purchase any shares under the program and the program may be suspended or discontinued at any time without notice.
