Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers
Our board of directors has authorized the repurchase of Company stock. Repurchases under these programs are made at management's discretion from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions and through Rule 10b5-1. We spent $13.5 million on discretionary repurchases in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 to repurchase 0.3 million shares. During fiscal 2025, we spent $77.9 million to repurchase 2.0 million shares and as of April 26, 2025, 3.7 million shares remained available for repurchase pursuant to the board authorization. With the operating cash flows we anticipate generating in fiscal 2026, we expect to continue repurchasing Company stock, subject to market conditions and other factors as deemed relevant by our board of directors.
