Capital Return Program 
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, we repurchased 9.9 million shares of our common stock for $8.0 billion. We did not repurchase any shares during the first quarter of fiscal year 2024. As of April 28, 2024, we were authorized, subject to certain specifications, to repurchase up to $14.5 billion additional shares of our common stock. Our share repurchase program aims to offset dilution from shares issued to employees. We may pursue additional share repurchases as we weigh market factors and other investment opportunities.
From April 29, 2024 through May 24, 2024, we repurchased 2.3 million shares for $2.1 billion pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan.
During the first quarter of fiscal years 2025 and 2024, we paid $98 million and $99 million in cash dividends to our shareholders, respectively. Our cash dividend program and the payment of future cash dividends under that program are subject to our Board of Directors' continuing determination that the dividend program and the declaration of dividends thereunder are in the best interests of our shareholders.
