$148.3 million returned to shareholders
Our rigorous approach to allocating capital strives to achieve the best risk adjusted shareholder returns by balancing acquisitive growth with our core commitments of sustaining capital, maintaining a strong balance sheet, and our strong commitment to returning capital to shareholders. Over the course of 2020, we returned $148.3 million to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases, and in 2021 we announced a 6.5% increase in our dividend, reflecting our ongoing confidence in our long-term profitability.
