KENOSHA, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Snap-on Incorporated (NYSE: SNA) announced that its Board of Directors has declared a quarterly common stock dividend of $1.42 per share payable December 10, 2021 to shareholders of record on November 19, 2021. This represents an increase of $0.19 per share, or 15.4%, over Snap-on’s previous quarterly dividend of $1.23 per share.
Snap-on also announced today that its Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $500 million of common stock, replacing the current share repurchase program under which, as of the end of the third quarter of 2021, approximately $194 million of authorization remained. An additional previously approved share repurchase program, which allows the company to repurchase up to the number of shares issued under the company’s various equity plans, remains in place. Including the new authorization, total share repurchase availability currently stands at approximately $503 million.
“The dividend increase and the new share repurchase program demonstrate our steadfast commitment to create long-term value for our shareholders and our ongoing belief that we’re well-positioned for the future,” said Nick Pinchuk, Snap-on chairman and chief executive officer. “This twelfth consecutive annual dividend increase confirms the resilience and strength of our business as evidenced by our payment of consecutive quarterly cash dividends, without interruption or reduction since 1939, even during times of substantial turbulence. Our strong financial position and robust cash generation enables both our return of capital to shareholders and our support of ongoing strategic investment, organically and through acquisitions, along our defined runways for growth and improvement.”
Shares may be repurchased from time to time in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, subject to applicable laws and regulations. The company intends to fund repurchases through a combination of available cash and debt.
