MRC Global's board has approved the repurchase of up to $125 million in common stock over the next three years.
MRC said Friday its streamlined capital structure, efficient operating model and anticipated ability to deliver consistent cash-flow generation made it the right time to introduce a repurchase program, adding it expects to begin buying back stock in the second quarter.
The Houston distributor of pipes, valves and fittings, which had about 85.2 million shares outstanding as of Oct. 31, sports a market capitalization of around $1.08 billion.
MRC in late October spent more than $360 million to buy back all of its Series A convertible perpetual preferred stock, issued in 2015.
