Share Repurchase Program

On August 3, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program, under which the Company is authorized to purchase up to $80 million of its outstanding common stock through December 31, 2024. The Company has fully utilized this $80 million repurchase program as of December 31, 2024. On January 24, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program to purchase up to $160 million of its outstanding common stock. The Company may from time to time repurchase common stock through various methods, including, but not limited to, open market, privately negotiated transaction, or by other means which comply with applicable state and federal securities laws. The amount and timing of any repurchase will depend on several factors, including share price, general business and market conditions, and alternative investment opportunities. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to repurchase shares and may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company's discretion. All shares repurchased shall be retired pursuant to the terms of the share repurchase program. Depending on the timing of the retirement and cash settlement of the repurchased shares, the Company could have shares held in treasury stock until settled. Share repurchases made after December 31, 2022, are subject to a 1% excise tax, as enacted under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. The impact of this 1% excise tax was less than $1 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Consolidated Variable Interest Entities ("VIE")

The Company holds a 49% interest in one VIE located in the Middle East. The Company is the primary beneficiary and consolidates the VIE as it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance and has the obligation to absorb the VIE’s losses or the right to receive benefits. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, net income attributable to noncontrolling interest was $1 million each year, respectively.

The assets of the VIE can only be used to settle its own obligations and its creditors have no recourse to the Company’s assets. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the VIE’s assets were primarily current assets of $10 million and $19 million, respectively, and the liabilities were primarily current liabilities of $2 million and $8 million, respectively.
