Treasury Shares
On August 2, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase authorization of $1.0 billion. This authorization fully replaces a prior stock repurchase authorization of $1.3 billion that had $129.1 million remaining when it was terminated. In fiscal year 2024, the Company repurchased 0.5 million shares of common stock for $100.7 million under the new stock repurchase program.
As of December 28, 2024, the Company had $899.3 million remaining on the current authorized stock repurchase program. As of December 30, 2023, the Company had $129.1 million remaining on the prior stock repurchase program.
The Company’s stock-based compensation plans permit the netting of common stock upon vesting of RSUs and PSUs in order to satisfy individual statutory tax withholding requirements. The Company acquired shares of 0.1 million in fiscal years 2024 and 2023, for $18.5 million and $24.2 million, respectively, from such netting.
Prior to the end of fiscal years 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the cancellation and return to the Company’s authorized and unissued capital stock, reducing treasury stock on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The Company allocated the excess of the repurchase price over the par value of shares acquired to reduce both retained earnings and additional paid-in capital.

(1) The impact of the foreign currency translation adjustment to other comprehensive income (loss) before reclassifications was primarily due to the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates of the Euro, British Pound, Canadian Dollar, Hungarian Forint, Swedish Krona, Mauritian Rupee, and Chinese Yuan Renminbi.
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests
During fiscal years 2024, 2023, and 2022, the Company held several redeemable noncontrolling interests. Since the Company has the right to purchase, and the noncontrolling interest holders have the right to require the Company to purchase the remaining interest, which represents a derivative embedded within the equity instrument, the noncontrolling interest is classified in the mezzanine section of the consolidated balance sheets, which is presented above the equity section and below liabilities.
The redeemable noncontrolling interests are measured at the greater of (i) the redemption amount or (ii) the historical value resulting from the original acquisition date fair value, increased or decreased for the noncontrolling interest’s share of net income (loss), equity capital contributions and distributions. The fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest is determined using the income approach, with key assumptions being projected cash flows and discount rates based on market participant’s weighted average cost of capital. To the extent redemption value exceeds carrying value, adjustments are recorded to additional paid-in capital, with any cumulative excess of redemption value over fair value recorded in retained earnings, which impacts net income available to common shareholders used in the calculation of earnings per common share.
Noveprim
The Company holds a 90% ownership interest in Noveprim. The Company has the right to purchase, and the noncontrolling interest holders have the right to sell, the remaining 10% equity interest at a fixed redemption value that ranges from $47.0 million to $54.0 million depending on when exercised. The Company has the call option right to purchase the remaining 10% equity up until one month after the sixth anniversary of closing the 41% equity stake (December 2029). On the first anniversary of the expiration of the call option (December 2030), a 12-month put option will be triggered giving the seller the right to require the Company to acquire the remaining shares of the seller for $54.0 million. The redemption value is accreted to the put purchase price of $54.0 million using the interest method through December 2030. As of December 28, 2024, the redemption value of $41.1 million exceeded the carrying value, resulting in an adjustment to additional paid in capital of $7.9 million for the twelve months ended December 28, 2024. Additionally, during fiscal year 2024 the 10% noncontrolling interest holders have and may continue to receive a dividend disproportionate to their equity ownership, of which the fair value of $8.0 million as of the acquisition date was recorded within the redeemable noncontrolling interest. Through fiscal year 2024, incremental dividends based on Noveprim statutory net income attributed to the redeemable noncontrolling interest holders of $11.9 million reduced net income available to common shareholders used in the calculation of earnings per common share.
Other redeemable noncontrolling interest
In 2019, the Company acquired an 80% equity interest in a subsidiary, which included a 20% redeemable noncontrolling interest. In June 2022, the Company purchased an additional 10% interest in the subsidiary for $15.0 million, resulting in a remaining noncontrolling interest of 10%. Beginning in 2024, the Company had the right to purchase, and the noncontrolling interest holders had the right to sell, the remaining 10% equity interest at its appraised value. The redemption value was measured at the greater of the appraised value or a predetermined floor. The amount that the Company could be required to pay to purchase the remaining 10% equity interest was not limited. As of March 30, 2024, the redemption value of $12.0 million exceeded the carrying value, resulting in an adjustment to additional paid in capital of $2.8 million. During the second quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company acquired the remaining 10% for $12.0 million.
Vital River
The Company held a 92% ownership interest in Vital River, a commercial provider of research models and related services in China as of December 31, 2022. The Company had the right to purchase, and the noncontrolling interest holders had the right to sell, the remaining 8% equity interest at a contractually defined redemption value, subject to a redemption floor. The amount that the Company could be required to pay to purchase the remaining 8% equity interest was not limited. During 2023, the Company acquired the remaining 8% and paid $4.8 million of the total $24.4 million due. The remaining purchase price payable was included in Accrued liabilities within the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023 and is expected to be paid during fiscal year 2025.
Nonredeemable Noncontrolling Interest
The Company has an investment in an entity whose financial results are consolidated in the Company’s financial statements, as it has the ability to exercise control over this entity. The interest of the noncontrolling party in this entity has been recorded as noncontrolling interest within Equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The activity within the nonredeemable noncontrolling interest (net income less dividends declared) during fiscal years 2024, 2023, and 2022 was not material.
