HANOVER, Md.: Ciena (NYSE: CIEN) today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a program to repurchase up to $1 billion of the company’s common stock, commencing in fiscal year 2025 and continuing through the end of fiscal year 2027.

“Our new share repurchase program reflects the confidence we have in the ongoing strength of our business, cash generation, and operating results. It also highlights the competitive advantage we enjoy with our robust balance sheet,” said Ciena’s Chief Financial Officer James E. Moylan, Jr. “As we approach the completion of fiscal year 2024 and successfully wrap up our existing three-year repurchase program, this step demonstrates our continued priority to return capital to shareholders as part of our strategic and operating plans.”

Ciena may purchase shares at management’s discretion in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, in transactions structured through investment banking institutions, or a combination of the foregoing. The Company may also, from time to time, enter into Rule 10b5-1 plans to facilitate repurchases of its shares under this authorization. The amount and timing of repurchases are subject to a variety of factors including liquidity, cash flow, stock price, and general business and market conditions. The program may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time. The share repurchase program will be funded with cash on hand or cash generated from operations.
