Repurchases of Common Shares [Abstract] |
Schedule of Treasury Stock by Class [Text Block] | 13.REPURCHASES OF ORDINARY SHARES On May 7, 2019, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program resulting in a share repurchase authorization of approximately $78,979 (net of taxes, fees and commissions). On July 30, 2019, our Board of Directors approved an increase in the May 7, 2019 authorization of an additional amount of $300,000 (net of taxes, fees and commissions). As of March 31, 2023, there was approximately $13,932 (net of taxes, fees and commissions) of remaining availability under the Board authorized share repurchase program. The share repurchase program has no specified expiration date. Under the authorization, the Company may repurchase its shares from time to time through open market purchases, including 10b5-1 plans. Any share repurchases may be activated, suspended or discontinued at any time. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, share repurchases were suspended on April 9, 2020. The suspension was lifted effective February 10, 2022, enabling the Company to resume stock repurchases pursuant to the prior authorizations. During fiscal 2023, we repurchased 1,563,983 of our ordinary shares for the aggregate amount of $295,000 (net of fees and commissions) pursuant to the authorizations. From February 14, 2022, through March 31, 2022, we repurchased 108,368 of our ordinary shares for the aggregate amount of $25,000 (net of fees and commissions) pursuant to the authorizations. During fiscal 2021, we repurchased 35,000 of our ordinary shares for the aggregate amount of $5,047 (net of fees and commissions) pursuant to the authorizations. During fiscal 2023, we obtained 79,169 of our ordinary shares in the aggregate amount of $13,534 in connection with share-based compensation award programs. During fiscal 2022, we obtained 244,395 of our ordinary shares in the aggregate amount of $30,775 in connection with share-based compensation award programs. During fiscal 2021, we obtained 91,567 of our ordinary shares in the aggregate amount of $9,599 in connection with share-based compensation award programs. On May 3, 2023, our Board of Directors terminated the existing share repurchase program and authorized a new share repurchase program for the purchase of up to $500,000 (net of taxes, fees and commissions). We have not made any repurchases under the new share repurchase program to date.
