The NCIB renewal is a routine capital return program with no hard commitment on execution. The prior NCIB repurchased ~65% of its authorized maximum, suggesting management may be price-sensitive. Monitor upcoming quarterly results for actual cash flow generation and buyback activity — the 'meaningful positive operating cash flow' guidance is a soft forward-looking statement, not a hard target.
