Stock Repurchase Program [Abstract] |
STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM | STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM To facilitate our stock repurchase program, designed to return value to our stockholders and minimize dilution from stock issuances, we may repurchase our shares in the open market or enter into structured repurchase agreements with third parties. In December 2020, our Board of Directors granted authority to repurchase up to $15 billion in our common stock through the end of fiscal 2024. During the nine months ended September 1, 2023 and September 2, 2022, we entered into accelerated share repurchase agreements (“ASRs”) with large financial institutions whereupon we provided them with prepayments of $1.4 billion and $2.4 billion, respectively. Under the terms of our ASRs, the financial institutions agree to deliver a portion of shares to us at contract inception and the remaining shares at settlement. The total number of shares delivered and average purchase price paid per share are determined upon settlement based on the Volume Weighted Average Price (“VWAP”) over the term of the ASR, less an agreed upon discount. During the nine months ended September 1, 2023 and September 2, 2022, we also entered into structured stock repurchase agreements with large financial institutions whereupon we provided them with prepayments totaling $2 billion and $2.4 billion, respectively. Under the terms of these structured stock repurchase agreements, the financial institutions agree to deliver shares to us at monthly intervals during the respective contract terms, and the number of shares delivered each month are determined based on the total notional amount of the contracts, the number of trading days in the intervals and the VWAP during the intervals, less an agreed upon discount. During the nine months ended September 1, 2023, we repurchased a total of 9.7 million shares, including approximately 5.7 million shares at an average price of $396.43 through structured repurchase agreements entered into during fiscal 2022 and the nine months ended September 1, 2023, as well as 4.0 million shares at an average price of $348.46 through the ASR entered into during the nine months ended September 1, 2023. During the nine months ended September 2, 2022, we repurchased a total of 10.7 million shares, including approximately 5.4 million shares at an average price of $429.13 through structured repurchase agreements entered into during fiscal 2021 and the nine months ended September 2, 2022, as well as 5.3 million shares at an average price of $451.55 through the ASR entered into during the nine months ended September 2, 2022. For the nine months ended September 1, 2023, the prepayments were classified as treasury stock, a component of stockholders’ equity on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, at the payment date, though only shares physically delivered to us by September 1, 2023 were excluded from the computation of net income per share. As of September 1, 2023, $333 million of prepayment remained under our outstanding structured stock repurchase agreement. Subsequent to September 1, 2023, as part of the December 2020 stock repurchase authority, we entered into a structured stock repurchase agreement with a large financial institution whereupon we provided them with a prepayment of $1 billion. Upon completion of the $1 billion stock repurchase agreement, $2.15 billion remains under our December 2020 authority.
