NET EARNINGS PER SHARE AND SHARE REPURCHASES

NOTE 4: NET EARNINGS PER SHARE AND SHARE REPURCHASES

 

Our basic and diluted earnings per share were:

$0.42 during third quarter 2022 and $2.51 during year-to-date 2022;  

$0.64 during third quarter 2021 and $2.92 during year-to-date 2021.

Basic earnings per share is net earnings divided by the weighted average number of our outstanding common shares, including stock equivalent units where there is no circumstance under which those shares would not be issued. Diluted earnings per share is net earnings divided by the sum of the weighted average number of our outstanding common shares and the effect of our outstanding dilutive potential common shares.

Share Repurchase Program

On September 22, 2021, we announced that our board of directors approved a new share repurchase program (the 2021 Repurchase Program) under which we are authorized to repurchase up to $1 billion of outstanding shares. Concurrently, the board terminated the remaining repurchase authorization under the share repurchase program approved by the board in February 2019 (the 2019 Repurchase Program).

We repurchased 4,234,838 common shares for approximately $145 million (including transaction fees) under the 2021 Repurchase Program during third quarter 2022 and 11,217,300 common shares for approximately $404 million (including transaction fees) under the 2021 Repurchase Program during year-to-date 2022. As of September 30, 2022, we had remaining authorization of $523 million for future share repurchases. During year-to-date 2021, we repurchased 780,228 common shares for approximately $26 million (including transaction fees) under the 2019 Repurchase Program.

All common stock repurchases under the 2019 Repurchase Program and 2021 Repurchase Program were made in open-market transactions. We record share repurchases upon trade date as opposed to the settlement date when cash is disbursed. We record a liability for repurchases that have not yet been settled as of period end. There were 64,135 unsettled shares (approximately $2 million) as of September 30, 2022 and no unsettled shares as of December 31, 2021.
