"Our capital allocation strategy is grounded in four key levers — driving productivity and gross margin improvement, accelerating organic growth, pursuing strategic M&A with discipline, and returning capital to shareholders through share repurchases," said John Marotta, President and Chief Executive Officer. "The share repurchase authorization reflects our deliberate use of these levers to enhance long-term shareholder value while maintaining strategic flexibility to invest in growth."
