Risks Factors

Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report includes a discussion of our risk factors. Other than the risk factor below and the risk factor included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, there have been no material changes from the risk factors described in our Annual Report. We may disclose changes to such risk factors or disclose additional risk factors from time to time in our future SEC filings.

We cannot guarantee that our share repurchase programs will enhance long-term shareholder value. Share repurchases could also increase the volatility of the trading price of our stock and could diminish our cash reserves. In addition, Congress enacted the Inflation Reduction Act in 2022, which (among other provisions) provided for a 1% excise tax on net share repurchases. This provision applies to share repurchases initiated after January 1, 2023.

In October 2023, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program for up to an aggregate amount of $100.0 million of our outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock over an 18-month period in open market, accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) or privately negotiated transactions. In June 2024, we entered into a share repurchase agreement with a stockholder, pursuant to which we repurchased, directly from the stockholder, 2.0 million shares of our Class A Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $51.5 million. During the fourth quarter of 2024, we repurchased approximately 1.5 million shares of our Class A Common Stock through open market transactions and paid $35.8 million.

In December 2024, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $100.0 million of our outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock under the October 2023 program, providing the Company with approximately $112.7 million available for repurchases. On December 11, 2024, we entered into an ASR agreement with a third-party financial institution to purchase $112.7 million of our Class A Common Stock. Pursuant to the terms of the ASR agreement, we received and retired 3,821,958 shares of our Class A Common Stock and paid $112.7 million. The final settlement occurred on March 3, 2025, at which time we received an additional 685,934 shares of our Class A Common Stock using a volume-weighted average price over the term of the ASR agreement. All repurchased shares were subsequently retired.

We paid a total of $200.0 million for share repurchases during the year ended December 31, 2024. In addition, we recorded approximately $1.7 million within accrued liabilities related to the excise taxes payable on net share repurchases on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2024, which has been paid as of June 30, 2025. The prior repurchase authorization expired on April 30, 2025.

On May 17, 2025, our Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program to repurchase up to an aggregate amount of $100.0 million of our outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock over an 18-month period in open market, ASR or privately negotiated transactions. We did not make any share repurchases under this program during the second quarter of 2025.

The timing, price, and quantity of purchases under the repurchase programs have been, and will continue to be, made at the discretion of our management based upon a variety of factors including share price, general and business market conditions, compliance with applicable laws and regulations, corporate and regulatory requirements, and alternative uses of capital. There is no guarantee as to the exact number of shares that we will repurchase and we cannot guarantee that share repurchase programs will enhance long-term stockholder value. Additionally, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 introduced a 1% excise tax on share repurchases, which has increased the costs associated with repurchasing shares of our Class A Common Stock. Our share repurchase programs could affect the trading price of our Class A Common Stock and increase volatility. In addition, our repurchases under our share repurchase programs have diminished, and could continue to diminish, our cash reserves.
