NACCO Industries Declares Quarterly Dividend And Announces Stock Repurchase Program

CLEVELAND, Feb. 14, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- NACCO Industries, Inc. (NYSE: NC) today announced that the Board of Directors declared a regular cash dividend of 16.5 cents per share.  The dividend is payable on both the Class A and Class B Common Stock, and will be paid March 15, 2018 to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 1, 2018.

NACCO's Board of Directors also approved a stock repurchase program providing for the purchase of up to $25 million of the Company's outstanding Class A Common Stock through December 31, 2019.  The Company's previously authorized share buyback program to purchase up to $50 million of the Company's outstanding Class A common stock expired on December 31, 2017.  Under that program, NACCO repurchased approximately 109,300 shares for an aggregate purchase price of $6.0 million.

The timing and amount of any repurchases under the new repurchase program will be determined at the discretion of the Company's management based on a number of factors, including the availability of capital, other capital allocation alternatives and market conditions for the Company's Class A common stock.  The share repurchase program does not require the Company to acquire any specific number of shares.  It may be modified, suspended, extended or terminated by the Company at any time without prior notice and may be executed through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.  All or part of the repurchases may be implemented under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, which would allow repurchases under pre-set terms at times when the Company might otherwise be prevented from doing so.
