MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Dividends and Share Repurchases
We have historically paid quarterly dividends on our outstanding Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Subject to legally available funds, we intend to continue to pay a quarterly cash dividend. The declaration and payment of future dividends is at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors after taking into account various factors, including our financial condition, operating results, available cash and current and anticipated cash needs.
The following table summarizes the dividends declared by our Board of Directors on our outstanding Class A common stock and Class B common stock, payable in 2026:

Repurchased shares of our common stock are considered treasury stock. In December 2025 and 2024, our Board of Directors approved programs authorizing us to repurchase shares of our Class A common stock up to $14.0 billion and $12.0 billion, respectively. The program approved in 2025 became effective in March 2026, after the completion of the program approved in 2024. The timing and actual number of additional shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including cash requirements to meet the operating needs of the business, legal requirements, as well as the share price and economic and market conditions.
