Blue Bird Corporation (Nasdaq: BLBD), the leader in electric and low-emission school buses, today announced that its Board of Directors authorized the company to repurchase up to $60 million in the aggregate of its outstanding common stock during the next 24 months. The repurchase program permits repurchases in open market or private transactions, including accelerated share repurchase transactions, block trades, or pursuant to trading plans intended to comply with SEC Rule 10b5-1.

“We are proud of Blue Bird’s continued strong performance and are excited to leverage our strong free cash flow generation again to return capital to our shareholders through this new stock repurchase program,” said Blue Bird CEO Phil Horlock. “This initiative reflects management’s confidence in the health of our business, our long-term growth prospects, and our overall commitment to continually enhancing shareholder value.”

The timing, manner, price, and amount of securities to be repurchased will be at the discretion of Blue Bird management.

Repurchases under this program are expected to be funded from one or a combination of existing cash balances, future free cash flow or indebtedness.
