    NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED

    CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     

    NOTE 1. Interim Financial Statements

    Our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Hub Group, Inc. (the “Company,” “Hub,” “we,” “us” or “our”) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements have been omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. However, we believe that the disclosures contained herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

    The financial statements reflect, in our opinion, all material adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly present our financial position as of March 31, 2025 and results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

    These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 10-K”). Results of operations in interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year due partially to seasonality.

    On March 5, 2025, the Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.125 per share on the Company’s Class A and Class B common stock. The dividend was paid on March 28, 2025 to stockholders of record as of March 18, 2025. The declaration and payment of the quarterly cash dividend was subject to the approval of the Board at its sole discretion and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

    In October 2023, the Board authorized the purchase of up to $250 million of our Class A Common Stock pursuant to a share repurchase program. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we purchased 330,441 shares for approximately $13.8 million under this program.

    NOTE 3. Acquisitions

     

    EASO Transaction

    On October 23, 2024, we entered into an investment agreement with Corporación Interamericana de Logística, S.A. de C.V. and certain associated entities (commonly known as “EASO”), a family-led, intermodal and trucking logistics provider headquartered in Mexico City to acquire a controlling interest in EASO. EASO specializes in intermodal, dedicated trucking, truckload and freight brokerage services. Through a network of terminals across Mexico, EASO serves the entire Mexican domestic market and main logistics hubs in the U.S. using its intermodal cross-border network.

    The estimated fair value of total consideration transferred was approximately $55 million for a 51% equity stake in EASO. The financial results of EASO, since the date of acquisition, are included in our ITS segment.

    The EASO investment transaction expanded our intermodal and transportation solutions business. With a substantial increase in cross-border trade activity from nearshoring, this transaction improves our ability to provide a cross-border service offering and provides increased intermodal conversion opportunities.

    The initial accounting for the EASO transaction is incomplete as we, with the support of our valuation specialist, are in the process of finalizing the fair market value calculations of the acquired net assets as well as non-controlling interests. In addition, we are in the preparation and review process of the valuation of certain acquired assets, liabilities, and non-controlling interest used in determining the purchase accounting. Finally, certain post-closing activities outlined in the investment agreement remain incomplete. As a result, the amounts recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements related to the EASO transaction are preliminary and the measurement period remains open.

    The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of the investment agreement (in thousands):

    The EASO transaction was accounted for as a purchase business combination in accordance with ASC 805 “Business Combinations.” In connection with the transaction, we performed a consolidation analysis concluding that we control all EASO entities through either a majority voting interest or as the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. As a result, 100% of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and non-controlling interests were recorded in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at their preliminary estimated fair values as of October 23, 2024, with the remaining unallocated purchase price recorded as goodwill. The goodwill recognized in the EASO transaction was primarily attributable to potential expansion and future development of the business. This goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

    Total consideration transferred includes $28.4 million of deferred cash consideration, all or a portion of which may be paid at least two years after the closing date of the transaction. As a result of the restrictions on this deferred consideration in the investment agreement, we have classified the associated cash as Restricted Cash in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of March 31, 2025, the balances of Deferred Consideration and Restricted Cash were both $28.4 million, on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

    Total consideration transferred includes $3.7 million of contingent consideration related to certain operating tax balances existing prior to the transaction for which we have agreed to reimburse the full amount of cash collected within two years of the closing date of the transaction. The estimated fair value of such contingent consideration is based on estimated collectability of such operating tax balances within the agreed timeframe.

    Our investment in one of the EASO entities, Corporación Interamericana de Logística, S.A. de C.V. (“CIL”), qualifies as a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”). Based on the rights provided in the investment and shareholder agreements, as well as the design of the VIE, our majority exposure to the variability associated with economic performance of the VIE, and the relationship and significance of activities of the VIE to us, we determined that we are most closely associated with the VIE and are therefore considered the primary beneficiary.

    During a period from 2030 to 2032, Hub will have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase an amount of issued and outstanding shares of EASO such that, upon exercising this call right, we would own 80% of all of the issued and outstanding shares of EASO at a purchase price based on earnings multiples as defined in the shareholders agreement. We evaluated this call right and concluded that it does not meet the definition of a derivative, resulting in the non-controlling interest and embedded call right being classified as permanent equity.

    NOTE 4. Segment Reporting

     

    Our CEO has been identified as our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). We have two reportable segments: Intermodal and Transportation Solutions (“ITS”) and Logistics which are based primarily on the services each segment provides. Our ITS segment includes our asset-light business lines: intermodal and dedicated trucking. Our Logistics segment includes our non-asset business lines: managed transportation, truck brokerage, final mile and consolidation and fulfillment services. Our CODM uses operating income by segment to make decisions over the allocation of capital and resources and assess the performance of our segments.

     

    Intermodal and Transportation Solutions. Our ITS segment offers high service, nationwide door-to-door intermodal transportation, providing value, visibility and reliability in both transcontinental and local lanes by combining rail transportation with local trucking. This segment includes our trucking operations which provides our customers with local pickup and delivery (referred to as “drayage”) as well as high service local and regional trucking transportation using equipment dedicated to their needs. We arrange for the movement of our customers’ freight in one of our approximately 50,000 containers. As of March 31, 2025, we operated trucking terminals at 32 locations throughout the United States and Mexico, with locations in many large metropolitan areas. We also contract for services with independent owner-operators who supply their own equipment and operate under our regulatory authority. These assets and contractual services are used to support drayage for our intermodal service offering and to serve our customers who require high service local and regional trucking transportation using equipment dedicated to their needs. We contract with railroads to provide transportation for the long-haul portion of the shipment between rail terminals. Drayage between origin or destination and rail terminals are provided by our own trucking operations and third parties with whom we contract. Our dedicated service operation offers fleets of equipment and drivers to each customer on a contract basis, as well as the management and infrastructure to operate according to the customer’s high service expectations. As of March 31, 2025, our trucking transportation operation consisted of approximately 2,300 tractors, 3,300 employee drivers and 4,600 trailers. We also contract for services with approximately 500 independent owner-operators.

     

    Logistics. Our Logistics segment offers a wide range of services including transportation management, freight brokerage services, shipment optimization, load consolidation, mode selection, carrier management, load planning and execution, warehousing, fulfillment, cross-docking, consolidation services and final mile delivery. These services include a full range of trucking transportation services, including dry van, expedited, less-than-truckload, refrigerated and flatbed, all of which is provided by third party carriers with whom we contract. We also leverage proprietary technology along with collaborative relationships with third party service providers to deliver cost savings and performance-enhancing supply chain services to our clients. Our transportation management offering also serves as a source of volume for our ITS segment. Many of the customers for these solutions are consumer goods companies who sell into the retail channel. Our final mile delivery offering provides residential final mile delivery and installation of appliances and big and bulky goods. Final mile operates through a network of independent service providers in company, customer and third-party facilities throughout the continental United States. Our business operates or has access to approximately 7 million square feet of warehousing and cross-dock space across North America, to which our customers ship their goods to be stored and distributed to destinations including residences, retail stores and other commercial locations. These services offer our customers shipment visibility, transportation cost savings, high service and compliance with retailers’ increasingly stringent supply chain requirements. Logistics also includes our brokerage business which provides third-party truckload, less-than-truckload (“LTL”), flatbed and temperature-controlled needs.

    Separate balance sheets are not presented by segment to our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). Our CODM uses consolidated asset information to make capital decisions.

     

    NOTE 5. Fair Value Measurement

    The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximated fair value as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2025, the fair value of the Company’s fixed-rate borrowings was $1.9 million higher than the carrying value of $252.1 million. As of December 31, 2024, the $264.4 million carrying value of our fixed-rate borrowings approximated the fair value. The fair value of the fixed-rate borrowings was estimated using an income approach based on current interest rates available to the Company for borrowings on similar terms and maturities.

    We consider as cash equivalents all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our cash and temporary investments were with high quality financial institutions in demand deposit accounts, savings accounts, checking accounts, and money market accounts.

    Restricted Cash of $28.4 million and $28.7 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, includes cash held in both deposit accounts and escrow accounts that are not subject to remeasurement on a recurring basis.

    12


     

    Restricted investments included $18.5 million and $21.6 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, of mutual funds and other security investments which are reported at fair value. These investments relate to our non-qualified deferred compensation plan and insurance deposits.

    Our assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on valuation techniques which consider prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets and liabilities. These valuation methods are based on either quoted market prices (Level 1) or inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly (Level 2), or unobservable inputs (Level 3). Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and mutual funds and related liabilities are defined as “Level 1,” while long-term debt is defined as “Level 2” of the fair value hierarchy in the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the Codification.

    NOTE 6. Long-Term Debt and Financing Arrangements

    In February 2022, we entered into a five-year, $350 million unsecured credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement"). Borrowings under the Credit Agreement generally bear interest at a variable rate equal to (i) the secured overnight financing rate (published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, “SOFR”), plus a specified margin based on the term of such borrowing, plus a specified margin based upon Hub’s total net leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) (the "Total Net Leverage Ratio"), or (ii) the base rate (which is the highest of (a) the administrative agent's prime rate, (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% or (c) the sum of 1% and one-month SOFR) plus a specified margin based upon the Total Net Leverage Ratio. The specified margin for SOFR loans varies from 100.0 to 175.0 basis points per annum. The specified margin for base rate loans varies from 0.0 to 75.0 basis points per annum. Hub must also pay (1) a commitment fee ranging from 10.0 to 25.0 basis points per annum (based upon the Total Net Leverage Ratio) on the aggregate unused commitments and (2) a letter of credit fee ranging from 100.0 to 175.0 basis points per annum (based upon the Total Net Leverage Ratio) on the undrawn amount of letters of credit.

    We have standby letters of credit that expire in 2025. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our letters of credit were $0.7 and $ 0.8 million, respectively.

    As March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had no borrowings under our Credit Agreement and our unused and available borrowings were $349.3 million and $349.2 million, respectively. We were in compliance with the financial covenants in our debt agreement as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

    We have entered into various Equipment Notes (“Notes”) for the purchase of tractors, trailers, containers and refrigeration units. The Notes are secured by the underlying equipment financed in the agreements.

    The Company is involved in certain claims and pending litigation arising from the normal conduct of business, including putative class-action lawsuits involving employment related claims. Based on management's present knowledge, management does not believe that any potential unrecorded loss contingencies arising from these pending matters are likely to have a material adverse effect on our overall financial position, operating results, or cash flows after taking into account any existing accruals for settlements or losses determined to be probable and estimable. However, actual outcomes could be material to the Company's financial position, operating results, or cash flows for any particular period.

We leverage proprietary technology along with collaborative relationships with third-party service providers to deliver cost savings and performance-enhancing supply chain services to our clients. Our transportation management offering also serves as a source of volume for our ITS segment. Many of the customers for these solutions are consumer goods companies who sell into the retail channel. Our final mile delivery offering provides residential final mile delivery and installation of appliances and big and bulky goods. Final mile operates through a network of independent service providers in company, customer and third-party facilities throughout the continental United States. Our business operates or has access to approximately 7 million square feet of warehousing and cross-dock space across North America, to which our customers ship their goods to be stored and distributed to destinations including residences, retail stores and other commercial locations. These services offer our customers shipment visibility, transportation cost savings, high service and compliance with retailers’ increasingly stringent supply chain requirements.

     

    We are focused on several margin enhancement projects including network optimization, matching of inbound and outbound loads, reducing empty miles, improving our recovery of accessorial costs, increasing our driver and asset utilization, reducing repositioning costs, providing holistic solutions and improving low profit freight. Hub’s top 50 customers represent approximately 66% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025, while one customer accounted for more than 10% of our quarterly revenue in both segments in both 2025 and 2024. We use various performance indicators to manage our business. We closely monitor profit levels for our customers. We also evaluate on-time performance, customer service, cost per load and daily sales outstanding by customer account. Vendor cost changes and vendor service levels are also monitored closely.

    Uncertainties and risks to our outlook include inflation, increased healthcare costs, a slowdown in consumer spending (driven by, among other factors, tariffs, inflation, increases in interest rates, an economic recession and geopolitical concerns), a shift by consumers to spending on services at the expense of goods, an increase of retailers’ inventory levels, the ability of customers to pay our accounts receivable, a significant increase in transportation supply in the marketplace, aggressive pricing actions by our competitors and any inability to pass cost increases, such as transportation and warehouse costs, through to our customers, economic factors such as the impact of potentially increasing tariffs between trading partners, all of which could have a materially negative impact on our revenue, profitability and cash flow in 2025. Exiting of truckload capacity, retail inventory levels declining leading to restocking demand, a return of typical shipping peak season demands and a stronger used tractor market could have a materially positive impact on our revenue, profitability and cash flows in 2025.

    Operating Revenue and Operating Income

    Total consolidated operating revenue decreased 8% to $915 million in 2025 from $999 million in 2024.

     

    Intermodal and Transportation Solutions (“ITS”) revenue decreased 4% to $530 million primarily due to mix, price and fuel partially offset by higher intermodal volumes of 8%. ITS operating income increased to $14 million, or 2.7% of revenue, as compared to $13 million, 2.4% of revenue in the prior year, due to cost control efforts, lower dedicated start-up costs, and improved insurance and claims expenses.

     

    Logistics revenue decreased 14% to $411 million primarily due to lower volume and revenue per load in our brokerage business, exiting of unprofitable business in consolidation and fulfillment, and seasonal softness in managed transportation and final mile businesses. Logistics operating income decreased to $23 million, 5.7% of revenue, as compared to $24 million, 5.0% of revenue, due to positive contribution from consolidation and fulfillment, managed transportation, and final mile fully offset a lower brokerage margin.

    CONSOLIDATED OPERATING EXPENSES, OTHER EXPENSES AND INCOME TAXES

    Purchased Transportation and Warehousing

    Purchased transportation and warehousing costs decreased 11% to $658 million in 2025 from $740 million in 2024. As a percentage of revenue, purchased transportation and warehousing costs decreased to 71.9% in 2025 from 74.1% in 2024.

     

    Purchased transportation and warehousing costs declined as compared to the prior year due to lower rail and third-party warehouse costs. The reduction in warehouse costs is primarily driven by the completion of our network optimization project in 2024.

     

    Salaries and Benefits

    Salaries and benefits increased to $149 million in 2025 from $144 million in 2024. As a percentage of revenue, salaries and benefits increased to 16.3% in 2025 from 14.4% in 2024.

     

    The salaries and benefits increase of $5 million was primarily due to an increase in driver compensation and warehouse labor costs driven by additional warehouse and driver team members and the addition of EASO.

    Headcount, which includes drivers, warehouse personnel and office employees, was 6,386 as of March 31, 2025 and 5,897 as of March 31, 2024, respectively. The increase in headcount related primarily to additional warehouse and driver team members as well as office employees and drivers due to the EASO transaction.

    Depreciation and Amortization

    Depreciation and amortization expense decreased to $33 million in 2025 from $38 million in 2024. This expense decrease was related primarily to decreased container depreciation expense resulting from changes made in the third quarter of 2024 to the estimated useful lives of our containers. This expense, as a percentage of revenue, decreased to 3.6% in 2025 from 3.8% in 2024. Depreciation expense includes transportation equipment, technology investments, leasehold improvements, warehouse equipment, office equipment and building improvements.

    17


     

    Insurance and Claims

    Insurance and claims expense decreased to $11 million in 2025 from $13 million in 2024. This decrease was primarily due to less claim expenses related to auto liability claims in 2025. These expenses, as a percentage of revenue, decreased to 1.2% in 2025 from 1.3% in 2024.

    General and Administrative

    General and administrative expenses remained consistent at $27 million in both 2025 and 2024. These expenses, as a percentage of revenue, increased to 2.9% in 2025 from 2.7% in 2024.

    Gain on Sale of Assets, Net

    Net gains on the sale of equipment decreased to $0.1 million in 2025 from $0.5 million in 2024. This decrease resulted from both less units sold and a lower average gain per unit sold in 2025 as compared to 2024.

    Other Income (Expense), Net

    Other Expense decreased to $2 million in 2025 from $3 million in 2024. Interest expense decreased to $3 million in 2025 from $4 million in 2024 due primarily to lower average debt balances. Interest income remained consistent at $1 million in both 2025 and 2024.

    Provision for Income Taxes

    The provision for income taxes increased to $8 million in 2025 from $7 million in 2024. We provided for income taxes using an effective rate of 23.7% in 2025 and an effective rate of 21.5% in 2024. The first quarter 2025 effective tax rate exceeded the rate from 2024 as we had a smaller rate benefit related to stock-based compensation in 2025 than in 2024.

     

    LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    Our financing and liquidity strategy is to fund operating cash payments and future dividends through cash received from the provision of services, cash on hand, and to a lesser extent, from cash received from the sale of equipment. As of March 31, 2025, we had $113 million of cash. In addition, we had $18 million of restricted investments and $28 million of restricted cash, which are held for payments of long-term liabilities and the deferred cash consideration from the EASO transaction, respectively. We generally fund our purchases of transportation equipment through the issuance of secured, fixed rate Equipment Notes. In prior years, we have funded our business acquisitions from cash on hand. Payments for our other investing activities, such as our capitalized technology investments, have been funded by cash on hand or cash flows from operations. Cash used in financing activities, including the purchase of treasury stock and dividend payments have been funded by cash from operations or cash on hand. We have not historically used our Credit Facility to fund our operating, investing, or financing cash needs, though it is available to fund future cash requirements as needed. Based on past performance and current expectations, we believe cash on hand and cash received from the provision of services, along with other financing sources, will provide us the necessary capital to fund transactions and achieve our planned growth for the next twelve months and the foreseeable future.

    Cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $70 million, which resulted primarily from net income of $27 million, non-cash charges of $50 million partially offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities of $7 million.

    Cash provided by operating activities totaled $70 million in 2025 compared to $81 million in 2024. The $11 million decrease in cash flow was primarily due to decreases in non-cash charges of $1 million plus a decrease in the change of assets and liabilities of $10 million.

    Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $16 million which resulted from capital expenditures of $19 million, partially offset by proceeds from the sale of equipment of $3 million. Capital expenditures of $19 million related primarily to tractors of $13 million, technology investments of $4 million, and warehouse equipment of $2 million.

     

    Capital expenditures increased by approximately $2 million in 2025 as compared to 2024. The 2025 increase was due primarily to increased spend on tractors of $3 million and warehouse equipment of $1 million, partially offset by less spend on containers of $2 million.

     

    In 2025, we estimate capital expenditures will range from $40 million to $50 million. We expect to focus these expenditures on replacements for tractors that have reached the end of their useful life as well as technology investments. We do not plan to purchase containers in 2025.

     

    18


     

    Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $40 million which includes repayments of long-term debt of $26 million, purchase of treasury stock of $14 million, dividends paid and cash for stock tendered for payments of withholding taxes of $7 million each, partially offset by the proceeds from the issuance of debt of $14 million. Debt incurred in 2025 was used to fund the purchase of transportation equipment.

     

    The $18 million decrease in cash used in financing activities for 2025 versus 2024 was primarily due to a decrease in the purchase of treasury stock of $12 million, increased proceeds from the issuance of debt of $3 million, a decrease in stock tendered for payments of withholding taxes of $2 million, and a decrease in repayments of long-term debt of $1 million.

     

    As a result of anticipated unfavorable timing differences, primarily related to depreciation and compensation, we expect our cash paid for income taxes in 2025 to exceed our income tax expense.

    See Note 6 of the condensed consolidated financial statements for details related to interest rates and commitment fees.

    We have standby letters of credit that expire in 2025. As of both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our letters of credit were $1 million.

    At March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, we had no borrowings under our respective credit agreements. Our unused and available borrowings were $349 million. We were in compliance with the financial covenants in our credit agreements as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

    We are continually evaluating the possible effects of current economic conditions and reasonable and supportable economic forecasts in operational cash flows, including the risks of declines in the overall freight market and our customers’ liquidity and ability to pay. We are monitoring working capital on a daily basis and are in frequent communications with our customers.

    We do not have any off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements, obligations (including contingent obligations) or liabilities.

    Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

    (a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of March 31, 2025, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)). Based upon this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2025.

    (b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

    On October 23, 2024, we entered into an investment agreement with Corporación Interamericana de Logística, S.A. de C.V. and certain associated entities (commonly known as “EASO”), to acquire a controlling interest in EASO. We are currently integrating processes, employees, technologies and operations. Management will continue to evaluate our internal controls over financial reporting as we complete our integration.

    Item 1A. Risk Factors

    Investing in shares of our stock involves certain risks, including those identified and described in Part I, Item 1A of our 2024 10-K under the heading “Risk Factors.” When any one or more of these risks materialize from time to time, the Company’s business and stock price can be materially and adversely affected. There have been no material changes to the Company’s risk factors since the 2024 Form 10-K.

    Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

    In October 2023, the Board authorized the purchase of up to $250 million of our Class A Common Stock pursuant to a share repurchase program (the “2023 Program”). Under the 2023 Program, the shares may be repurchased in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, from time to time subject to market and other conditions. The approved share repurchase program does not obligate us to repurchase any dollar amount or number of shares and the program may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time.

    During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we purchased 330,441 shares for approximately $13.8 million under the 2023 Program.

    During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we purchased 148,024 shares for approximately $6.5 million related to withholding upon vesting of restricted stock.

    The table below includes information on a monthly basis regarding shares purchased under the 2023 Program and the number of shares delivered to us to satisfy the mandatory tax withholding requirement upon vesting of restricted stock during the first quarter of 2025. Shares delivered to us to satisfy the mandatory tax withholding requirement upon vesting of restricted stock do not reduce the repurchase authority under the 2023 Program.
