Share Repurchases
In the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Company executed an accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) agreement and accounted for the agreement as two transactions upon prepayment: (1) the initial delivery of shares was recorded as an increase to Common stock in treasury to recognize the acquisition of common stock acquired in a treasury stock transaction, and (2) the remaining amount of shares was recorded as a decrease to Capital in excess of par value to recognize a net share-settled forward sale contract indexed to the Company's own common stock. Upon final settlement of the repurchase agreement and the forward sale contract in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Company’s receipt of additional shares was recorded as an increase to Common stock in treasury and an offsetting increase to Capital in excess of par value. The impacts of these accelerated share repurchase transactions were as follows:
Execution DateSettlement DateAggregate Common Stock Repurchased (millions of dollars) (a)Initial Shares Delivered (in thousands)Additional Shares Delivered at Settlement (in thousands) (b)Total Shares Delivered (in thousands)
Q1 2025Q2 2025$750 2,637 619 3,256 
(a)    Excludes a 1% excise tax on share repurchases of $6 million.
(b)    The final settlement for the first quarter transaction amounted to $150 million.
In the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Company executed and settled ASR agreements for the repurchase of 2.118 million shares of its common stock for total consideration of $500 million, excluding a 1% excise tax on share repurchases of $3 million. The share repurchases were recorded as an increase to Treasury stock.
The share repurchases discussed above were made pursuant to the repurchase program authorized by the Board of Directors on November 3, 2021, for 10 million shares of BD common stock, for which there is no expiration date. On January 28, 2025, the Board of Directors authorized BD to repurchase up to an additional 10 million shares of BD common stock, for which there is also no expiration date. As of June 30, 2025, 13 million shares remained unused under these programs.
