During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, our Board of Directors approved, and we paid, a quarterly cash dividend on common stock of $0.48 and $0.43 per share, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we reflected the applicable excise tax on share repurchases in Additional paid-in capital as part of the cost basis of the stock repurchased and recorded a corresponding liability in Accrued and other liabilities on the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheets.
