Nova Announces $200M Share Repurchase Program

Rehovot, Israel, September 2, 2026 - Nova (Nasdaq: NVMI) today announced that its board of directors authorized a new share repurchase program providing for the repurchase of up to $200 million of the Company’s ordinary shares.

Share repurchases, if any, will be funded with available cash. Repurchases of the Company’s ordinary shares will be made through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, transactions pursuant to trading plans or other legally permissible means, at prevailing market prices. The timing, volume and nature of share repurchases are subject to market prices and conditions, applicable securities laws and other factors, and are at the discretion of the Company’s board of directors. Share repurchases may be commenced, suspended, or discontinued at any time. The program will remain in effect until the authorized amount has been repurchased or the program is suspended or discontinued by the Company.

“This share repurchase authorization reflects our confidence in Nova’s long-term growth strategy, exceptional cash-generation capabilities, and strong financial position,” said Gaby Waisman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Nova. “Our primary capital allocation priority remains investing in our business and pursuing strategic acquisitions that strengthen our technology leadership, expand our addressable markets, and create long-term shareholder value. Supported by our strong balance sheet, we believe we are well positioned to execute these priorities while maintaining the flexibility to repurchase shares. This authorization complements our broader capital allocation strategy and preserves significant capacity to pursue attractive M&A opportunities as they arise.”
