CSI declares dividend, authorizes additional $5M shares repurchase program

“This dividend payment represents a 14.3 percent increase in the cash dividend compared with the amount paid last year,” stated CEO Steven A. Powless. “Our cash dividend program is an important part of building long-term shareholder value and this year’s increase represents the 25th consecutive year of dividend growth.

“Our board’s authorization to increase our share repurchase program marks the second time this year they approved a $5 million increase in the program. We believe CSI’s stock represents an attractive investment at current prices in light of our growth and highlights our Board’s confidence in the future of our company,” Powless concluded.
