Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract] |
Stock Issuance and Stock Repurchase Program | Stockholders’ Equity Our authorized capital stock consists of 400 million shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share (“common stock”), and 15 million shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share. At October 31, 2024, we had 99.8 million shares of common stock issued and outstanding, 2.4 million shares of common stock reserved for outstanding stock options and restricted stock units, 3.2 million shares of common stock reserved for future stock option and award issuances, and 232,780 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under our employee stock purchase plan. As of October 31, 2024, no shares of preferred stock have been issued. Cash Dividends In March 2024, our Board of Directors approved an increase in the quarterly dividend from $0.21 to $0.23 per share. During the fiscal years October 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, we declared and paid aggregate cash dividends of $0.90, $0.83 and $0.77 per share, respectively, to our shareholders. Stock Repurchase Program From time to time, our Board of Directors has renewed its authorization to repurchase up to 20 million shares of our common stock in open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions (including accelerated share repurchases), issuer tender offers or other financial arrangements or transactions for general corporate purposes, including to obtain shares for the Company’s equity award and other employee benefit plans. Most recently, on December 13, 2023, the Board of Directors renewed its authorization to repurchase 20 million shares of our common stock and terminated, effective the same date, the existing authorization that had been in effect since May 17, 2022. The Board of Directors did not fix any expiration date for this repurchase program. The following table provides information about the share repurchase programs for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022:
| 2024 |  | 2023 |  | 2022
Number of shares purchased (in thousands) | 4,914 |  |  | 7,860 |  |  | 11,000 |
Average price per share (1) | $ | 127.79 |  |  | $ | 72.00 |  |  | $ | 49.34 |
Remaining authorization at October 31 (in thousands) | 15,087 |  |  | 6,716 |  |  | 14,577 |
(1) Average price per share includes costs associated with the purchases. For the fiscal 2024 and 2023 periods, it also includes the excise tax accrued on our share repurchases as a result of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. Transfer Restriction On March 17, 2010, our Board of Directors adopted a Certificate of Amendment to the Second Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the “Certificate of Amendment”). The Certificate of Amendment includes an amendment approved by our stockholders at the 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders that restricts certain transfers of our common stock. The Certificate of Amendment’s transfer restrictions generally restrict any direct or indirect transfer of our common stock if the effect would be to increase the direct or indirect ownership of any Person (as defined in the Certificate of Amendment) from less than 4.95% to 4.95% or more of our common stock or increase the ownership percentage of a Person owning or deemed to own 4.95% or more of our common stock. Any direct or indirect transfer attempted in violation of this restriction would be void as of the date of the prohibited transfer as to the purported transferee.
