12 Months Ended
May 31, 2025
Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Fiscal Period The Company’s fiscal year consists of 52 or 53 weeks, ending on the Saturday in May closest to May 31. Fiscal year 2025 consisted of three 13-week quarters and one 14-week fourth quarter for a total of 53 weeks. Fiscal years 2024 and 2023 consisted of four 13-week quarters and included a total of 52 weeks of activity in each fiscal year.
Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company (“financial statements”) have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Principles of Consolidation The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reporting Segments
Reporting Segments
During the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the Chief Executive Officer announced a decision to reorganize the Company’s business by forming multiple discrete operational business units. To align the new operating model and financial reporting, the Company made management organizational changes and implemented new reporting modules and processes to provide discrete information to manage the business. During the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company completed its assessment of the Company's operating segments and identified the following newly defined operating segments:

On-Demand Talent – this segment provides businesses with a go-to source for bringing in experts when they need them.

Consulting – this segment drives transformation across people, processes and technology across domain areas including finance, technology and digital, risk and compliance and supply chain transformation.

Europe & Asia Pacific – is a geographically defined segment that offers both on-demand and consulting services (excluding the digital consulting business, which is included in our Consulting segment) to clients throughout Europe and Asia Pacific.

Outsourced Services – operating under the Countsy by RGPTM brand, this segment offers finance, accounting and HR services provided to startups, spinouts and scale-up enterprises, utilizing a technology platform and fractional team.

Sitrick – a crisis communications and public relations firm that provides corporate, financial, transactional and crisis communication and management services.
Each of these segments reports through a separate segment manager to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer, who are collectively designated as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) for segment reporting purposes. The Company's reportable segments are comprised of On-Demand Talent, Consulting, Europe & Asia Pacific, and Outsourced Services. Sitrick does not individually meet the quantitative thresholds to qualify as a reportable segment. Therefore, Sitrick is disclosed under the “All Other” segment. Each of these segments represents a reporting unit for the purposes of assessing goodwill for impairment.
On November 15, 2023, the Company acquired CloudGo Pte Ltd. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “CloudGo”). On July 1, 2024, the Company acquired Reference Point LLC (“Reference Point”). CloudGo and Reference Point are both reported as part of the Consulting operating segment. See Note 3 – Acquisitions and Dispositions in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
Reclassifications
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported totals for assets, liabilities, stockholders’ equity, cash flows or net income.
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although management believes these estimates and assumptions are adequate, actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue Recognition
The Company generates substantially all of its revenues from providing professional consulting services to its clients. Revenues are recognized when control of the promised service is transferred to the Company’s clients, in an amount that reflects the consideration expected in exchange for the services rendered. Revenue is recorded net of sales or other transaction taxes collected from clients and remitted to taxing authorities. Revenues for the vast majority of our contracts are recognized over time, based on hours worked by the Company’s professionals. The performance of the agreed-to service over time is the single performance obligation for revenues. Certain clients may receive discounts (for example, volume discounts or rebates) to the amounts billed. These discounts or rebates are considered variable consideration. Management evaluates the facts and circumstances of each contract and client relationship to estimate the variable consideration assessing the most likely amount to recognize and considering management’s expectation of the volume of services to be provided over the applicable period. Rebates are the largest component of variable consideration and are estimated using the most-likely-amount method, contracts terms and estimates of revenue. Revenues are recognized net of variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of revenues will not occur in subsequent periods.
On a limited basis, the Company may have fixed-price contracts, for which revenues are recognized over time using the input method based on time incurred as a proportion of estimated total time. Time incurred represents work performed, which corresponds with, and therefore best depicts, the transfer of control to the client. Management uses significant judgments when estimating the total hours expected to complete the contract performance obligation. It is possible that updated estimates for consulting engagements may vary from initial estimates with such updates being recognized in the period of determination. Depending on the timing of billings and services rendered, the Company accrues or defers revenue as appropriate.
The Company recognizes revenues primarily on a gross basis as it acts as a principal for primarily all of its revenue transactions. The Company has concluded that gross reporting is appropriate because it controls the services before they are transferred to the customers. The Company a) has the risk of identifying and hiring qualified consultants; b) has the discretion to select the consultants and establish the price and responsibilities for services to be provided; c) is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the service to the customer; and d) bears the risk for services provided that are not fully paid for by clients. The Company recognizes all reimbursements received from clients for “out-of-pocket” expenses as revenue and all such expenses as direct cost of services. Reimbursements received from clients were $4.4 million, $4.3 million and $4.7 million for the years ended May 31, 2025, May 25, 2024, and May 27, 2023, respectively.
Commissions earned by the Company’s sales professionals are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. The Company elected to apply the practical expedient to expense sales commissions as incurred as the expected amortization period is one year or less. Sales commissions are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the years ended May 31, 2025, May 25, 2024 and May 27, 2023, sales commission expense was $3.1 million, $2.8 million, and $3.3 million, respectively.
The Company’s clients are contractually obligated to pay the Company for all hours billed. The Company invoices most of its clients on a weekly basis or, in certain circumstances, on a bi-weekly or monthly basis, and its typical
arrangement of payment is due within 30 days. To a much lesser extent, in certain circumstances, the Company also earns revenue if one of its consultants is hired by, or if the Company places an outside candidate with, its client. Conversion fees or permanent placement fees are recognized when one of the Company’s professionals, or a candidate identified by the Company, accepts an offer of permanent employment from a client and all requisite terms of the agreement have been met. Such conversion fees or permanent placement fees are recognized when the performance obligation is considered complete, which the Company considers a) when the consultant or candidate accepts the position; b) the consultant or candidate has notified either RGP or their current employer of their decision; and c) the start date is within the Company’s current quarter. Conversion fees were 0.2% of revenue for the year ended May 31, 2025, and 0.3% of revenue for each of the years ended May 25, 2024 and May 27, 2023. Permanent placement fees were 0.1%, 0.2% and 0.3% of revenue for the years ended May 31, 2025, May 25, 2024 and May 27, 2023, respectively.
The Company’s contracts generally have termination-for-convenience provisions and do not have termination penalties. While clients are contractually obligated to pay the Company for all hours billed, the Company does not have long-term agreements with its clients for the provision of services and the Company’s clients may terminate engagements at any time. All costs of compensating the Company’s professionals for services provided are the responsibility of the Company and are included in direct cost of services.
Foreign Currency Translation
Foreign Currency Translation
The financial statements of subsidiaries outside the United States (“U.S.”) are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated at current exchange rates, income and expense items are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the period and the related translation adjustments are recorded as a component of comprehensive income or loss within stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Per Share Information
Per Share Information
The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”). Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is based upon the weighted-average number of common shares and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive shares of common stock include the assumed exercise of outstanding in-the-money stock options, assumed issuance of common stock under the Company's 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as amended (“ESPP”), assumed release of outstanding restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance stock units (“PSUs”) using the treasury stock method. However, potentially dilutive shares of common stock are excluded from the computation in periods in which they have an anti-dilutive effect.
During the year ended May 31, 2025, the Company incurred a net loss, and as a result potentially dilutive common shares issuable from the assumed exercise of stock options and the assumed release of shares of common stock under the outstanding ESPP, RSAs, RSUs, and PSUs awards were not included in the diluted shares used to calculate net loss per share, as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers cash on hand, deposits in banks, and short-term investments purchased with an original maturity date of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. The carrying amounts reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for cash and cash equivalents approximate the fair values due to the short maturities of these instruments.
Restricted Cash
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash consists of cash and claims to cash that are restricted as to withdrawal or usage. This includes cash designated for specific use in an acquisition or dissolution.
Financial Instruments
Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments reflects the amounts that the Company estimates it will receive in connection with the sale of an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation techniques into the following three levels:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs.
Contingent consideration liability is for estimated future contingent consideration payments related to the Company’s acquisitions. Total contingent consideration liabilities related to the acquisition of CloudGo were preliminarily valued at $4.4 million as of November 25, 2023 and zero as of May 31, 2025 and May 25, 2024, respectively. As a result, no further remeasurements or revisions are required. The fair value measurement of the liability was based on significant inputs not observed in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the contingent consideration liability at these dates were the Company’s measures of the estimated payouts based on internally generated financial projections and discount rates. The fair value of contingent
consideration liability will be remeasured on a quarterly basis until settlement by the Company using additional information as it becomes available, and any change in the fair value estimates will be recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. Future revisions to these significant unobservable inputs and the assumptions underlying them could materially change the estimate of the fair value of contingent consideration and therefore could materially affect the Company’s future operating results.
The Company’s remaining financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable and other accrued expenses, and long-term debt, are carried at cost, which approximates their fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments or because their stated interest rates are indicative of market interest rates.
Allowance for Credit Losses
Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses for estimated losses resulting from its clients’ failure to make required payments for services rendered. Management estimates this allowance based upon knowledge of the financial condition of the Company’s clients (which may not include knowledge of all significant events), review of historical receivable and reserve trends and other pertinent information. If the financial condition of the Company’s clients deteriorates or there is an unfavorable trend in aggregate receivable collections, additional allowances may be required.
Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale
Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale
Assets and liabilities held for sale primarily represent property and equipment, and other assets and liabilities that have met the criteria of “held for sale” accounting, as specified by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. The effect of suspending amortization on noncurrent assets held for sale is immaterial to the results of operations.
The Company records assets and liabilities held for sale at the lower of carrying value or fair value less cost to sell. Any loss resulting from this measurement is recognized in the period in which the held for sale criteria are met. Conversely, gains are not recognized on the sale of a long-lived asset or disposal group until the date of sale.
On February 24, 2024, the Company determined the asset groups associated with the Company's former corporate office in Irvine, California met the criteria of held for sale, since the Company intended to complete the sale of these assets within the twelve months following the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2024. The Company concluded that the offering price of the disposal assets was an approximate fair value. The Company sold its Irvine, California corporate office in August 2024. See Note 4 – Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale for further information.
Property and Equipment
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Furniture and fixtures
5 to 10 years
Leasehold improvementsLesser of useful life of asset or term of lease
Computer, equipment and software
3 to 5 years
Costs for normal repairs and maintenance are expensed to operations as incurred, while renewals and major refurbishments are capitalized.
Long-lived Assets
Long-lived Assets
The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The impairment test is comprised of two steps. The first step compares the carrying amount of the asset to the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows. If the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows exceeds the carrying amount of the asset, no impairment is taken. If the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a second step is warranted and an impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value calculated using the present value of estimated net future cash flows. The Company recorded an impairment against its right of use (“ROU”) assets and leasehold improvements of zero, $0.2 million and zero for the years ended May 31, 2025, May 25, 2024 and May 27, 2023, respectively, primarily associated with exiting certain real estate leases as part of its restructuring initiatives. The impairment charges are included in selling, general and administrative expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill is recorded at the time of an acquisition and is calculated as the difference between the aggregate consideration paid for an acquisition and the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is not subject to amortization but the carrying value is tested for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if the Company believes indicators of impairment exist. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company voluntarily changed the date of the annual impairment test from the last day of the fourth quarter to the first day of the fourth quarter to better align with our internal operations. This change was applied prospectively and was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements as it did not delay, accelerate or avoid an impairment charge.
Impairment testing is conducted at the reporting unit level. Under ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, the qualitative assessment requires the consideration of factors such as recent market transactions, macroeconomic conditions, and changes in projected future cash flows or planned revenue or earnings of the reporting unit as potential indicators when determining the need for a quantitative assessment of impairment.
Under the quantitative analysis, the fair value of the reporting units is determined by using a market-based approach, an income-based approach or a combination thereof. The market-based approach estimates fair value by applying revenue and EBITDA multiples to each reporting unit’s operating performance. The multiples are derived from guideline public companies with similar operating and investment characteristics to the Company's reporting units, and are evaluated and adjusted, if needed, based on specific characteristics of the reporting units relative to the selected guideline companies. The market-based approach requires the Company to make a series of assumptions that involve significant judgment, such as the selection of comparable companies and the evaluation of the multiples. The income-based approach estimates fair value based on estimated future cash flows of each reporting unit, discounted by an estimated weighted-average cost of capital that reflects the relevant risks associated with each reporting unit and the time value of money. The income approach also requires a series of assumptions that involve significant judgment, such as revenue projections and Adjusted EBITDA margin projections, which are based on historical experience and internal forecasts about future performance.
While the Company believes that the assumptions underlying its quantitative assessment are reasonable, these assumptions could have a significant impact on whether a non-cash impairment charge is recognized and the magnitude of such charge. The results of an impairment analysis are as of a point in time. There is no assurance that the actual future earnings or cash flows of the reporting units will be consistent with the Company’s projections.

The Company’s identifiable intangible assets include customer contracts and relationships, and computer software, including internally-developed software. These assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over lives ranging from one to twelve years. For intangible assets subject to amortization, if the estimated undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the net book value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to the amount by which the net book value exceeds the estimated fair value of assets. The Company reviewed its intangible assets and did not identify any impairment during the years ended May 31, 2025, May 25, 2024 and May 27, 2023.
See Note 5 —Goodwill and Intangible Assets for a further description of the Company’s goodwill and intangible assets, including information about the Company’s goodwill impairment assessment.
Leases
Leases
The Company currently leases office space, vehicles and certain equipment under operating leases expiring through 2034. At May 31, 2025, the Company had no finance leases. The Company’s operating leases are primarily for real estate, which include fixed payments plus, in some cases, scheduled base rent increases over the term of the lease. Certain leases require variable payments of common area maintenance, operating expenses and real estate taxes applicable to the property. Variable payments are excluded from the measurements of lease liabilities and are expensed as incurred. Any tenant improvement allowances received from the lessor are recorded as a reduction to rent expense over the term of the lease. None of the Company’s lease agreements contained residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. The Company has not entered into any real estate lease arrangements where it occupies the entire building. As such, the Company does not have any separate land lease components embedded within any of its real estate leases.
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at the inception of the contract. Specifically, the Company considers whether it can control the underlying asset and have the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits or outputs from the assets. The ROU assets represent the right to use the underlying assets for the lease term and the lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the leases. The Company’s lease liability is recognized as of the lease commencement date at the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. The Company’s ROU asset is recognized as of the lease commencement date at the amount of the corresponding lease liability, adjusted for prepaid lease payments, lease incentives received, and initial direct costs incurred. The Company evaluates its ROU assets for impairment consistent with its policy for evaluating long-lived assets for impairment. See “Long-lived Assets” above. ROU assets are presented as operating ROU assets in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Operating lease liabilities are presented as operating lease liabilities, current or operating lease liabilities, noncurrent in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets based on their contractual due dates. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, and is recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate that can be readily determined. Therefore, the Company uses a discount rate based on its incremental borrowing rate and the information available at the commencement date. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow on a fully collateralized basis over a similar term in an amount equal to the total lease payments in a similar economic environment. The Company has a centrally managed treasury function; therefore, the portfolio approach is applied in determining the incremental borrowing rate. Application at the portfolio level is not materially different from applying guidance at the individual lease level.
Certain of the Company’s leases include one or more options to renew or terminate the lease at the Company’s discretion. Generally, the renewal and termination options are not included in the ROU assets and lease liabilities as they are not reasonably certain of exercise. The Company regularly evaluates lease renewal and termination options and, when they are reasonably certain of exercise, includes the renewal or termination option in the lease term.
In some instances, the Company subleases excess office space to third-party tenants. The Company, as sublessor, continues to account for the head lease. If the lease cost for the term of the sublease exceeds the Company’s anticipated sublease income for the same period, this indicates that the ROU asset associated with the head lease should be assessed for impairment under the long-lived asset impairment provisions. Sublease income is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company has elected the practical expedient that allows lessees to choose to not separate lease and non-lease components by class of underlying asset and is applying this expedient to all real estate asset classes. Additionally, the Company has also made an accounting policy election to recognize the lease payments under short-term leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term without recognizing the lease liability and the ROU asset.
See Note 7 — Leases for further information on the Company’s leases.
Capitalized Hosting Arrangements
Capitalized Hosting Arrangements
The capitalized hosting arrangements costs are primarily related to the Company’s implementation of a cloud-based enterprise resource planning system and talent acquisition and management system. Such costs include third party implementation costs and costs associated with internal resources directly involved in the implementation. Capitalized hosting arrangements are stated at historical cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of the expected term of the hosting arrangement, taking into consideration several other factors such as, but not limited to, options to extend the hosting arrangement or options to terminate the hosting arrangement. The amortization of capitalized
implementation costs for hosting arrangements will commence when the systems are ready for their intended use and will be presented as operating expenses on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations consistent with the presentation for expensing the fees for the associated hosting arrangement.
As of May 31, 2025 and May 25, 2024, the capitalized costs related to hosting arrangements incurred during the application development stage were $20.8 million and $16.1 million, respectively. These capitalized hosting arrangements are included in current and other non-current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the years ended May 31, 2025 and May 25, 2024, amortization was $1.8 million and less than $0.2 million, respectively. No costs were amortized during the year ended May 27, 2023.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company recognizes compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, employee stock options, performance stock units awarded under the Company’s 2020 Performance Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”) and the Company’s 2014 Performance Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”), stock units credited under the Directors Deferred Compensation Plan and employee stock purchases made via the Company’s 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as amended (the “ESPP”), based on estimated fair value at the date of grant.
The Company estimates the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model for stock options, including options under the ESPP, and the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant for restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and performance stock units. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized on a straight-line basis as an expense over the requisite service periods. If the actual number of forfeitures, and in the case of performance stock units, the actual performance, differs from that estimated by management, additional adjustments to compensation expense may be required in future periods. Excess income tax benefits and deficiencies from stock-based compensation are recognized as a discrete item within the provision for income taxes on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. Stock options and restricted stock units typically vest over three to four years and restricted stock award vesting is determined on an individual grant basis under the 2014 Plan or the 2020 Plan. Performance stock units vest on the last day of the three-year performance period, based on the actual performance for the performance period.
See Note 15 — Stock-Based Compensation Plans for further information on the 2020 Plan and stock-based compensation.
Income Taxes
Income Taxes
The Company recognizes deferred income taxes for the estimated tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end based on enacted tax laws and statutory rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized when, in management’s opinion, it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The provision for income taxes represents current taxes payable net of the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company also evaluates its uncertain tax positions and only recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such positions are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement. The Company records a liability for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Any change in judgment related to the expected ultimate resolution of uncertain tax positions is recognized in earnings in the period in which such change occurs. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax matters, if applicable, in income tax expense.
Share Repurchases and Retirement of Treasury Shares
Share Repurchases and Retirement of Treasury Shares
The Company’s stock repurchase programs authorize the Company to repurchase shares at the discretion of the Company’s senior executives based on numerous factors, including, without limitation, share price and other market conditions, the Company’s ongoing capital allocation planning, the levels of cash and debt balances, and other demands for cash. The Company records the shares repurchased as treasury stock based on the amount paid to repurchase its shares. Direct costs incurred to acquire treasury stock are treated like stock issue costs and added to the cost of the treasury stock.
The Company accounts for the retirement of treasury shares using the par-value method under which the cost of repurchased and retired treasury shares in excess of the par value is allocated between additional paid-in capital and retained earnings. When the repurchase price is greater than the original issue proceeds, the excess is charged to retained earnings. The Company uses the weighted-average cost flow assumption to identify and assign the original issue proceeds to the cost of the repurchased and retired treasury shares. The Company believes that this allocation method is preferable because it more accurately reflects its paid-in capital balances by allocating the cost of the repurchased and retired treasury shares to paid-in capital in proportion to paid-in capital associated with the original issuance of those shares.
See Note 12 — Stockholders’ Equity for further information on the repurchase of shares.
