STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM AND DIVIDENDS | STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM AND DIVIDENDS Stock Repurchase Program In March 2023, our Board of Directors authorized a new stock repurchase program for $1 billion, which replaced our existing program. During the thirteen weeks ended April 30, 2023, we repurchased 2,510,718 shares of our common stock at an average cost of $119.49 per share for an aggregate cost of $300.0 million, excluding excise taxes of $2.4 million. As of April 30, 2023, there was $700.0 million remaining under our current stock repurchase program. During the thirteen weeks ended May 1, 2022, we repurchased 3,379,731 shares of our common stock at an average cost of $148.26 per share for an aggregate cost of $501.1 million. As of April 30, 2023 and May 1, 2022, we held treasury stock of $1.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively, that represents the cost of shares available for issuance intended to satisfy future stock-based award settlements in certain foreign jurisdictions. Stock repurchases under our program may be made through open market and privately negotiated transactions at times and in such amounts as management deems appropriate. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including price, corporate and regulatory requirements, capital availability and other market conditions. Dividends In March 2023, our Board of Directors authorized a 15% increase in our quarterly cash dividend, from $0.78 to $0.90 per common share, subject to capital availability. We declared cash dividends of $0.90 and $0.78 per common share during the thirteen weeks ended April 30, 2023 and May 1, 2022, respectively. Our quarterly cash dividend may be limited or terminated at any time.
