About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Coty Increases Share Repurchase Program by $600 Million to Accommodate Planned Hedged Share Buyback Transaction of Additional 25 Million Shares

By: via Business Wire
  • Coty Share Repurchase Authorization Increased by $600M to a Total of Approximately $1B
  • Coty Starting to Hedge Stock Price for Potential Buyback in FY26 Targeting Repurchase of 25M Shares
  • Program Builds on Previously Executed Hedge Transactions for Planned Buyback of 27M shares in 3Q FY24 and 23M in FY25
  • Coty to Continue its Disciplined Deleveraging Trajectory of Approximately 2x Exiting CY25

Coty Inc. (NYSE: COTY) today announced that its Board of Directors has increased its share repurchase program authorization by an additional $600 million to a total availability of approximately $1 billion. In connection with today’s announcement, Coty is entering into total return swaps in respect of its Class A Common Stock with several banks to hedge its potential exposure to prevailing stock price trading levels over the applicable hedging periods for a planned share buyback of approximately 25 million shares in fiscal 2026.

These agreements are in addition to the Company’s previously announced hedge transactions for planned buyback of 27 million shares in 3Q FY24 and 23 million shares in FY25. Similar to the initial hedge transactions executed in June and December 2022, any total return swap settled in shares would be covered by the Company’s share repurchase authorization.

The three hedge transactions are part of Coty's target to reduce its diluted share count toward 800 million by FY26. Coty anticipates continued strong free cash flow generation and to achieve steady deleveraging with target leverage of approximately 3x exiting CY23, approximately 2.5x exiting CY24 and approximately 2x exiting CY25.
