Alan Chen of Citigroup Inc. asked for the rationale behind the recently announced $50 million share repurchase program and inquired about any future plans to further enhance shareholder returns.
Answer
CEO Jay Wenjie Xiao stated that the repurchase program, along with his personal plan to purchase $10 million in shares, underscores management's confidence in the company's value, especially given a forward P/E ratio below four. He noted that these actions, combined with an increased dividend payout ratio, would raise total shareholder return above the industry average. Mr. Xiao affirmed that the company values shareholder returns and will continue to explore various means to deliver value.
