For the full year 2024, we repurchased 22.2 million shares of our common stock for $753 million at an average price of $33.86. On December 10, 2024, our board of directors authorized a new repurchase program of up to $1.5 billion in aggregate value of shares of Match Group common stock which will take effect when the $247 million available under the previous share repurchase program authorization is exhausted. In total, we have $1.75 billion in aggregate value of shares of Match Group stock available under our share repurchase programs as of February 4, 2025. As of December 31, 2024, we had $971 million in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments and $3.9 billion of long-term debt, $3.5 billion of which is fixed rate debt, including $1.2 billion of Exchangeable Senior Notes. Our $500 million revolving credit facility was undrawn as of December 31, 2024.
