The repurchase program will be funded with cash on hand and will be executed consistent with the company’s capital allocation strategy, which will continue to prioritize investments to grow the business.

“This program reflects the strength of R1’s business and cash flow, as well as the confidence of our senior management team and Board of Directors’ expectations for continued strong performance over the long term,” said Rachel Wilson, chief financial officer and treasurer of R1. “Our durable cash flow generation provides ample capacity to opportunistically conduct share repurchases as a component of our capital allocation strategy while continuing to execute on our growth strategy, including investing in organic growth and pursuing value-accretive M&A opportunities.”
