Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract] |
STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY | 18. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY Stock Repurchase Program On November 22, 2013 we announced that our board of directors had authorized a share repurchase program. The program was designed to reduce or eliminate dilution resulting from issuance of stock under the company's employee equity incentive programs to target maintaining a weighted average share count of approximately 335 million diluted shares. For the year ended October 31, 2016, we repurchased 2.4 million shares for $98 million, which completed the purchases under this authorization. For the year ended October 31, 2015 we repurchased approximately 6 million shares for $267 million. For the year ended October 31, 2014 we repurchased 4 million shares for $200 million. All such shares and related costs are held as treasury stock and accounted for using the cost method. On May 28, 2015 we announced that our board of directors had approved a new share repurchase program (the "2015 repurchase program"). The 2015 share repurchase program authorizes the purchase of up to $1.14 billion of our common stock through and including November 1, 2018. The 2015 repurchase program does not require the company to acquire a specific number of shares and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. During the year ended October 31, 2016, upon the completion of our previous repurchase program, we repurchased approximately 8.3 million shares for $336 million under this authorization. All such shares and related costs are held as treasury stock and accounted for using the cost method. As of October 31, 2016, we had remaining authorization to repurchase up to $804 million of our common stock under this program. In the first quarter of 2017, we repurchased approximately 2.5 million shares for $111 million under the 2015 repurchase program. In addition, we retired 292.5 million treasury shares at an aggregate cost of $10.6 billion, which represents all our previously repurchased shares over the past 11 years and our November 2016 repurchases. Also the retirement resulted in a decrease of $6.7 billion to retained earnings and a decrease of $3.9 billion to additional paid-in-capital. Cash Dividends on Shares of Common Stock During the year ended October 31, 2016, cash dividends of $0.46 per share, or $150 million were declared and paid on the company's outstanding common stock. During the year ended October 31, 2015, cash dividends of $0.40 per share, or $133 million were declared and paid on the company's outstanding common stock. During the year ended October 31, 2014, cash dividends of $0.53 per share, or $176 million were declared and paid on the company's outstanding common stock. On November 16, 2016, we declared a quarterly dividend of $0.132 per share of common stock, or approximately $43 million which will be paid on January 25, 2017 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on January 3, 2017. The timing and amounts of any future dividends are subject to determination and approval by our board of directors.
