Equity

9 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2025

Share Repurchases

On May 31, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a resolution authorizing the repurchase of up to $1 billion of the Company’s common stock and 10.625% Series A Fixed-Rate Reset Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”). The share repurchase authorization has no expiration date and may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time without prior notice.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company entered into spot repurchase transactions through a broker to purchase 119,042 and 419,570 shares, respectively, of its common stock in the open market for cash totaling $25.3 million and $75.8 million, respectively, including excise taxes. Wesco funded the repurchases with available cash and borrowings under its accounts receivable securitization and revolving credit facilities. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company entered into spot repurchase transactions through a broker to purchase 161,614 and 2,183,937 shares, respectively, of its common stock in the open market for cash totaling $25.3 million and $378.8 million, respectively, including excise taxes. Wesco funded the repurchases with available cash and borrowings under its accounts receivable securitization and revolving credit facilities.

Series A Preferred Stock Redemption

On February 13, 2025, the Company's Board of Directors adopted a resolution authorizing the redemption of all outstanding shares of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock. As this authorization was separate from the May 31, 2022 share purchase authorization noted above, the redemption of Series A Preferred Stock did not impact the approximate dollar value of shares that may be repurchased under the earlier 2022 authorization.

As of June 22, 2025, the Company redeemed all 21,612 outstanding shares of its Series A Preferred Stock, and the related depositary shares, each representing 1/1,000th of one share of Series A Preferred Stock, at a redemption price of $25,000 per share, for a total payment of $540.3 million. The Company accrued $5.4 million in excise tax and recognized a $27.6 million gain from the redemption as income attributable to common stockholders. As described in Note 9, “Debt”, Wesco funded the redemption with the net proceeds from the March 2025 issuance of the 6.375% senior notes due 2033.
