Financial Metrics and Liquidity

  • As of March 31, 2022, the company reported $663 million in cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and marketable securities.

Material Changes and Capital Allocation

  • On May 13, 2022, the board authorized a share repurchase program of up to $100 million of Class A common stock.
  • Repurchases may occur through open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, Rule 10b5-1 plans, or other means.
