SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Earnings per Share

No adjustments were required to be made to the weighted-average common shares outstanding for purposes of computing basic and diluted earnings per share for all periods presented. At October 28, 2023, performance share units that vest based on relative total shareholder return (“TSR PSUs” - see Note 5 - Share Based Plans for a more detailed description of these awards), shareholder value creation awards (“SVCA PSUs” - see Note 5 - Share Based Plans for a more detailed description of these awards), and certain restricted stock units (“RSUs”) with a minimum performance requirement (see Note 5 - Share Based Plans for a more detailed description of these awards) were excluded from our computation of earnings (loss) per share because the minimum applicable performance conditions had not been attained. Antidilutive RSUs, performance share units (“PSUs”), SVCA PSUs, and TSR PSUs are excluded from the calculation because they decrease the number of diluted shares outstanding under the treasury stock method. The aggregate number of RSUs, PSUs, SVCA PSUs, and TSR PSUs that were antidilutive, as determined under the treasury stock method, was 1.5 million and 0.6 million for the third quarter of 2023 and the third quarter of 2022, respectively, and 1.3 million and 0.4 million for the year-to-date 2023 and the year-to-date 2022, respectively. Due to the net loss recorded in the consolidated statements of operations, any potentially dilutive shares were excluded from the denominator in computing diluted earnings (loss) per common share for the year-to-date 2023, the third quarter of 2022, and the year-to-date 2022.

Share Repurchase Programs

On December 1, 2021, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $250 million of our common shares (“2021 Repurchase Authorization”). Pursuant to the 2021 Repurchase Authorization, we may repurchase shares in the open market and/or in privately negotiated transactions at our discretion, subject to market conditions, our compliance with the terms of the 2022 Credit Agreement, and other factors. The 2021 Repurchase Authorization has no scheduled termination date. In the third quarter of 2023, third quarter of 2022, the year-to-date 2023, and the year-to-date 2022, no shares were repurchased under the 2021 Repurchase Authorization. As of October 28, 2023, we had $159.4 million available for future repurchases under the 2021 Repurchase Authorization.

Purchases of common shares reported in the consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity include shares acquired to satisfy income tax withholdings associated with the vesting of share-based awards.

Dividends

The Company declared and paid cash dividends per common share during the quarterly periods presented as follows:

	Dividends Per Share		Amount Declared		Amount Paid
2023:			(In thousands)		(In thousands)
First quarter	$	0.30	$	9,116	$	9,587
Second quarter	—		(119)		153
Third quarter	—		(1,425)		46
Total	$	0.30	$	7,572	$	9,786

The amount of dividends declared may vary from the amount of dividends paid in a period due to the vesting of share-based awards. Furthermore, dividends declared may fluctuate on a periodic basis due to the forfeiture of unpaid dividends associated with unvested share-based awards. On May 23, 2023, our Board of Directors suspended the Company’s quarterly cash dividend. The payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, compliance with applicable laws and agreements and any other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors.
