The company's share repurchase program was also approved by the board, which doubled its capacity to $400 million. The $200 million program that was set to expire at the end of February 2026 has been replaced by this new authorization.

The permission will be valid until February 28, 2027. The company's ongoing commitment to returning money to shareholders while retaining flexibility in how and when shares are repurchased is reflected in the combined dividend increase and increased repurchase program.
