LiveRamp Increases Share Repurchase Authorization and Extends Program to December 31, 2026

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LiveRamp® (NYSE: RAMP), the leading data collaboration platform, today announced that its Board of Directors increased the Company’s share repurchase authorization by $200 million to $1.3 billion and extended the expiration by two years to December 31, 2026.

Fiscal year-to-date the Company has repurchased $35 million in stock, including $19 million repurchased during the ongoing fiscal second quarter through August 14, 2024. With this program expansion, the Company has approximately $322 million currently available for share repurchases through the end of calendar 2026.

Commenting on the announcement, CEO Scott Howe said, “We have a long history of returning capital to shareholders through our share repurchase program. At the current share price, we think accelerating our share repurchase program represents a particularly attractive investment. Between our current cash balance and the free cash flow we expect to generate this fiscal year, we have ample financial resources to take advantage of the recent share price dislocation.”

The timing and amounts of any purchases will be based on market conditions and other factors, including price and capital availability. The Company reserves the right to modify or terminate this program and authorization at any time.
