We repurchased 8.6 million shares of class B common stock for $1.0 billion under our stock repurchase program during the first quarter of 2025. We do not currently anticipate further repurchases in 2025. We did not repurchase any shares under our stock repurchase program during the first quarter of 2024. For additional information on our share repurchase activities, see note 12 to the unaudited, consolidated financial statements.

The declaration of dividends is subject to the discretion of the Board and depends on various factors, including our net income, financial condition, cash requirements, future prospects and other relevant factors. In the first quarter of 2025, we increased our quarterly cash dividend to $1.64 per share, compared to $1.63 in the 2024 period.

Repayments of debt during the quarter consisted of $32 million of senior notes and finance lease obligations. We received $25 million in proceeds related to other financing arrangements during the first quarter of 2025. Repayments of debt in the 2024 period consisted of $2.2 billion of short- and long-term commercial paper as well as scheduled principal payments on our finance lease obligations. There were no issuances of debt during the first quarter of 2024.

As of March 31, 2025, we had $1.8 billion of fixed-rate senior notes outstanding that mature in 2025. We repaid $1.0 billion of these notes at maturity in April 2025 with cash from operations and intend to repay or refinance the remaining amounts when due. We consider the overall fixed and floating interest rate mix of our portfolio and the related overall cost of borrowing when planning for future issuances and non-scheduled repayments of debt. Subsequent to March 31, 2025, we entered into six aircraft leases which we expect will be treated as finance leases.

The amount of commercial paper outstanding fluctuates based on daily liquidity needs. The following is a summary of our commercial paper program (in millions):

Outstanding balance at quarter end ($)Average balance outstanding ($)Average interest rate
USD$—$524.08%
Total$—

As of March 31, 2025, we had no outstanding balances under our U.S. or European commercial paper programs.

Cash outflows from other financing activities decreased driven by lower tax withholdings on employee stock compensation as a result of previously disclosed changes to the payout structure of our management incentive award program. Cash outflows for this purpose were approximately $12 and $177 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Except as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, we do not have guarantees or other off-balance sheet financing arrangements, including variable interest entities, which we believe could have a material impact on our financial condition or liquidity.
