We repurchased 8.6 million shares of class B common stock for$1.0 billion under our share repurchase program during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. We do not anticipate further repurchases in 2025. We repurchased 3.9 million shares of class B common stock for$500 million under our share repurchase program during the nine months ended September 30, 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. We increased our quarterly cash dividend to $1.64 per share in 2025, compared to $1.63 per quarter in 2024.
Issuances of debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 consisted of fixed-rate and floating-rate senior notes of varying maturities totaling $4.2 billion. Repayments of debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 consisted of $1.1 billion of senior notes and finance lease obligations.
Issuances of debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 consisted of fixed-rate and floating-rate senior notes of varying maturities totaling $2.8 billion. Repayments of debt in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 consisted of $2.2 billion of short- and long-term commercial paper, our C$750 million and $400 million fixed-rate senior notes as well as scheduled principal payments on our finance lease obligations.
As of September 30, 2025, we had €700 million of fixed-rate senior notes outstanding that mature in 2025. We intend to repay or refinance these amounts when due. We consider the overall fixed and floating interest rate mix of our portfolio and the related overall cost of borrowing when planning for future issuances and non-scheduled repayments of debt.
The amount of commercial paper outstanding fluctuates based on daily liquidity needs. The following is a summary of our commercial paper program (in millions):
| Outstanding balance at quarter end ($) | Average balance outstanding ($) | Average interest rate | |
|---|---|---|---|
| USD | $— | $63 | 4.01% |
| Total | $— | ||
As of September 30, 2025, we had no outstanding balances under our U.S. or European commercial paper programs.
Cash outflows from other financing activities decreased primarily 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 $14 and $200 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Cash outflows from other financing activities also included fees associated with finance leases for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we entered into new leases, which required parent company guarantees of approximately $1.3 billion. For additional information on guarantees, see note 9 to the unaudited, consolidated financial statements.
Except as disclosed above and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, we do not have other off-balance sheet financing arrangements, including variable interest entities, which we believe could have a material impact on our financial condition or liquidity.
