The filing does not specify an authorization amount, authorization date, or the mechanism by which shares were repurchased (e.g., Rule 10b-18 open-market purchases or accelerated share repurchase agreement). The company's weighted-average diluted share count decreased from 225.1 million shares in Q2 2025 to 222.5 million shares in Q2 2026, reflecting the cumulative impact of repurchases in the period.
