Dividends

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we paid $336.5 million of dividends to shareholders. On August 27, 2024, PCA’s Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $1.25 per share of common stock, which was paid on October 15, 2024 to shareholders of record as of September 16, 2024. The dividend payment was $112.3 million.

Repurchases of Common Stock

On January 26, 2022, PCA announced that its Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional $1 billion of the Company’s outstanding common stock. Repurchases may be made from time to time in open market or privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable securities regulations. The timing and amount of repurchases will be determined by the Company in its discretion based on factors such as PCA’s stock price and market and business conditions.

The company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock under this authority during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. At September 30, 2024, $436.0 million of the authorized amount remained available for repurchase of the Company’s common stock.
