The $0.02 per share dividend will be paid on October 7, 2026, to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 25, 2026. We currently estimate that a total of $1.5 million will be paid on the Company's approximate seventy-seven million shares of common stock. This is the Company's ninety-third consecutive quarterly cash dividend. With the payment of this dividend, the Company will have paid a total of $566.1 million in cash dividends, including four special dividends since the dividend program was implemented in the third quarter of 2003.

Readers focused on valuation metrics should monitor whether the company's earnings and cash flow generation can support both the dividend commitment and the elevated stock price.
