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.

  • Repurchased 1,444,432 shares in total during Q1 and Q2 2024
  • Board of Directors approved new $150 million share repurchase authorization

Northern Oil and Gas, Inc. (NYSE: NOG) (the “Company” or “NOG”) provided a shareholder return update.

SHAREHOLDER RETURN UPDATE

NOG repurchased 895,076 shares of common stock during the second quarter of 2024 at an average price, inclusive of commissions, of $38.96 per share. During the first half of 2024, the Company repurchased 1,444,432 shares at an average price, inclusive of commissions, of approximately $37.99 per share. In total, the Company has allocated approximately $55 million to share repurchases year-to-date. Additionally, the Company has declared common stock dividends totaling approximately $80 million year-to-date, bringing capital allocated to shareholder returns to approximately $135 million in the first half of 2024.

In July 2024, NOG’s Board of Directors approved a new $150 million common stock repurchase authorization, replacing its prior authorization which was substantially depleted. Under this program, shares may be repurchased periodically, including in the open market or privately negotiated transactions. The actual timing, manner, number, and value of shares repurchased, if any, will depend on a number of factors, including the availability of free cash flow, market price, general market and economic conditions, applicable legal and contractual requirements, and other business considerations.

Per Company policy, interim modifications to the dividend can be driven by material changes in realized commodity prices, significant corporate actions or other events, prior to the Company’s planned annual dividend review during the first quarter of a given fiscal year. Management intends to submit a request to the Board of Directors for a 5%, or $0.02, mid-year increase to NOG’s quarterly common stock dividend, to $0.42 per share, for the third quarter of 2024. The recommendation is driven by strong cash flow experienced year-to-date and a robust business outlook, combined with the confidence in the cash flows to be provided by NOG’s pending acquisitions, Under Delaware law, the Board may not approve dividends more than 60 days before the record date.

The Company continues to plan for its regularly scheduled annual review of dividend policy with the Board of Directors in the first quarter of 2025.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTS

“NOG continues with a multi-pronged approach to creating value,” commented Nick O’Grady, NOG’s Chief Executive Officer. “We see benefits to retiring our shares when attractive, increasing our cash returns to our shareholders when appropriate, and continuing to find organic and inorganic growth opportunities to drive the highest possible long term total return for our investors. Our share repurchases and recommendation for a mid-year increase to our dividend are a testament to the confidence we have in NOG’s future.”

“Per our policy, significant corporate actions can warrant interim increases to the dividend prior to our annual review,” commented Chad Allen, NOG’s Chief Financial Officer. “We believe our strong base business outlook and the significant cash flows associated with our pending acquisitions also provide capacity for additional shareholder returns over time.”
