SIGNET JEWELERS REPORTS FIRST QUARTER FISCAL 2025 RESULTS
Delivered First Quarter Expectations
Engagement Recovery Momentum Continues
Reaffirms April Increase to Full Year Outlook
HAMILTON, Bermuda, June 13, 2024 – Signet Jewelers Limited (“Signet” or the "Company") (NYSE:SIG), the world's largest retailer of diamond jewelry, today announced its results for the 13 weeks ended May 4, 2024 (“first quarter Fiscal 2025”).
"Our results reflect notable acceleration from a sluggish February to the top half of expectations, with an even stronger May,” said Signet Chief Executive Officer Virginia C. Drosos. “Compared to the previous quarter, we increased North America engagement unit sales by 400 basis points excluding Digital banners. Further, customers continue to respond well to our new product offerings and loyalty program, reflected in a meaningful improvement in comparable sales for Fashion since February. We expect continued momentum in the second quarter, leading to a positive same store sales inflection in the second half of Fiscal 25.”
“Our flexible operating model continues to work as designed, leading to adjusted merchandise margin expansion of 100 basis points, continued working capital optimization, and improved free cash flow over the prior year,” said Joan Hilson, Chief Financial, Strategy & Services Officer. “Signet’s strong balance sheet provides a clear line of sight to redeeming all convertible preferred shares. We are reaffirming our increased full year guidance."

By reportable segment:

•SSS declined 9.2% compared to Q1 of FY24.
International
•Total sales of $77.2 million, down $15.8 million or 17.0% to Q1 of FY24 (down 19.5% on a constant currency basis) reflecting a decrease of 15.3% in total ATV driven by the previously announced sale of prestige watch locations, as well as a lower number of transactions.
•SSS declined 3.2% versus Q1 of FY24.
Gross margin was $572.4 million, down from $632.0 million in Q1 of FY24. Gross margin was 37.9% of sales, or flat to Q1 of FY24 as favorable merchandise margins, including a more than 300 basis point improvement in Digital banners (James Allen and Blue Nile), and a higher mix of Services business offset by deleveraging of fixed costs such as store occupancy.

Subsequent to the end of the first quarter, Signet redeemed an additional 100,000 Preferred Shares, or 32% of the remaining preferred shares, for an aggregate price of approximately $129.0 million, which represents common share volume weighted average price of approximately $97 per share. Inventory ended the quarter at $2.0 billion, down $199.9 million or 9.2% to Q1 of FY24, driven by Signet's demand planning efforts and life cycle management.
The Company ended the first quarter with an Adjusted Debt to Adjusted EBITDAR ratio of 2.2x on a trailing 12-month basis, well below the stated goal of at or below 2.5x, and was 1.6x on an Adjusted Net Debt basis. Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA was (0.3)x on a trailing 12-month basis.
Capital Returns to Shareholders:
Signet's Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend on common shares of $0.29 per share for the second quarter of Fiscal 2025, payable August 23, 2024 to shareholders of record on July 26, 2024, with an ex-dividend date of July 26, 2024.
In the first quarter Signet repurchased approximately 73,000 common shares at an average cost per share of $101.10, or $7.4 million.
Second Quarter and Full Year Fiscal 2025 Guidance:
Signet's second quarter Fiscal 2025 guidance for sales, same store sales, operating income and adjusted EBITDA is provided on an adjusted basis:
| | | | | | | |
| Second Quarter | | |
| Total sales | $1.46 billion to $1.52 billion | | |
| Same store sales | (6)% to (2)% | | |
Operating income (1) | $50 million to $75 million | | |
Adjusted EBITDA (1) | $98 million to $123 million | | |
(1) See description of non-GAAP financial measures below.
Forecasted adjusted operating income and adjusted EBITDA exclude potential non-recurring charges, such as restructuring charges, asset impairments or integration-related costs. However, given the potential impact of non-recurring charges to the GAAP operating income, we cannot provide forecasted GAAP operating income or the probable significance of such items without unreasonable efforts. As such, we do not present a reconciliation of forecasted adjusted operating income or adjusted EBITDA to corresponding forecasted GAAP amounts.
Signet's full year Fiscal 2025 guidance for sales, same store sales, operating income, adjusted EBITDA, and diluted EPS is provided on an adjusted basis:
| | | | | | | |
| | | Fiscal 2025 |
| Total sales | | | $6.66 billion to $7.02 billion |
| Same store sales | | | (4.5)% to +0.5% |
Operating income (1) | | | $590 million to $675 million |
Adjusted EBITDA (1) | | | $780 million to $865 million |
Diluted EPS (1) | | | $9.90 to $11.52 |
(1) See description of non-GAAP financial measures below.
Forecasted adjusted operating income, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted EPS provided above exclude potential non-recurring charges, such as restructuring charges, asset impairments or integration-related costs. However, given the potential impact of non-recurring charges to the GAAP operating income and diluted EPS, we cannot provide forecasted GAAP operating income or diluted EPS or the probable significance of such items without unreasonable efforts. As such, we do not present a reconciliation of forecasted adjusted operating income, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted EPS to corresponding forecasted GAAP amounts.
The Company's Fiscal 2025 outlook is based on the following assumptions:
•The Company expects an approximately 1.5% to 2.0% negative impact to sales from integration issues with its Digital banners. The Company expects to resolve the issues in the second half of the year but is not reflected as such in guidance. Importantly, the issues are not tied to nor impacting the eCommerce channels of our core banners, which are performing well.
•Approximately $225 million in non-comparable sales headwinds reflecting over $100 million from the 53rd week in Fiscal 2024, approximately $75 million in the UK from the sale of previously announced prestige watch locations in the UK and up to 30 Ernest Jones store closures, and approximately $50 million from total store closures in North America in Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2025. The Company anticipates net square footage decline of 1% to flat for the year.
•The Company continues to expect a three-year recovery in US engagement rates, with Fiscal 2025 engagement incidents increasing 5% to 10% to Fiscal 2024.
•Approximately $150 million to $180 million in new cost savings initiatives leveraging technology such as AI, sourcing efficiencies, and spend discipline.
•Planned capital expenditures of approximately $160 million to $180 million, reflecting investments in 20 to 30 new stores, nearly 300 renovations with focus on Kay, Jared and Diamonds Direct stores, Connected Commerce capabilities, and digital and technology advancement.
•Annual tax rate of 19% to 20% excludes potential discrete items.
•Approximately $1.1 billion allocated to retirement of debt, redemption of preferred shares and open-market common share repurchases in Fiscal 2025.
Our Purpose and Sustainable Growth:
Signet reaffirmed its commitment to leadership in sustainable business practices in the Company’s latest Corporate Citizenship & Sustainability Report released this week. The Report, which uses the Company's Sustainability framework defined by Love for All People, Love for Our Team and Love for Our Planet and Products, introduces revised 2030 Corporate Sustainability Goals to improve impact and measurability across its global operations. The Report details incremental progress achieved during Fiscal 2024 including the integration of environmental considerations into Signet’s product packaging and store operations.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to reporting the Company's financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the Company reports certain financial measures on a non-GAAP basis. The Company believes that non-GAAP financial measures, when reviewed in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, can provide more information to assist investors in evaluating historical trends and current period performance and liquidity. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not superior to or as a substitute for, the GAAP financial measures presented in this earnings release and the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and other publicly filed reports. In addition, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as or comparable to similar non-GAAP measures presented by other companies.
The Company previously referred to certain non-GAAP measures as non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin and non-GAAP diluted EPS. Beginning in Fiscal 2025, these non-GAAP measures are now referred to as adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin and adjusted diluted EPS, respectively. There have been no changes to how these non-GAAP measures are defined or reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
The Company reports the following non-GAAP financial measures: sales changes on a constant currency basis, free cash flow, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted diluted earnings per share ("EPS"), adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“adjusted EBITDA”) and adjusted EBITDAR, and the debt and net debt leverage ratios, including on an adjusted basis.
The Company provides the year-over-year change in total sales excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations to provide transparency to performance and enhance investors’ understanding of underlying business trends. The effect from foreign currency, calculated on a constant currency basis, is determined by applying current year average exchange rates to prior year sales in local currency.
Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure defined as the net cash used in operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment. Management considers this metric to be helpful in understanding how the business is generating cash from its operating and investing activities that can be used to meet the financing needs of the business. Free cash flow is an indicator frequently used by management in evaluating its overall liquidity needs and determining appropriate capital allocation strategies. Free cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary purposes.
Adjusted operating income is a non-GAAP measure defined as operating income excluding the impact of certain items which management believes are not necessarily reflective of normal operational performance during a period. Management finds the information useful when analyzing operating results to appropriately evaluate the performance of the business without the impact of these certain items. Management believes the consideration of measures that exclude such items can assist in the comparison of operational performance in different periods which may or may not include such items. Management also utilizes adjusted operating margin, defined as adjusted operating income as a percentage of total sales, to further evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of the Company’s flexible operating model.
Adjusted diluted EPS is a non-GAAP measure defined as diluted EPS excluding the impact of certain items which management believes are not necessarily reflective of normal operational performance during a period. Management finds the information useful when analyzing financial results in order to appropriately evaluate the performance of the business without the impact of these certain items. In particular, management believes the consideration of measures that exclude such items can assist in the comparison of performance in different periods which may or may not include such items. The Company estimates the tax effect of all non-GAAP adjustments by applying a statutory tax rate to each item. The income tax items are used to estimate adjusted income tax expense, and represent the discrete amount that affected the diluted EPS during the period.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure, defined as earnings before interest and income taxes, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense, other non-operating expense, net and certain non-GAAP accounting adjustments. Adjusted EBITDAR takes this adjusted EBITDA and further excludes minimum fixed rent expense for properties occupied under operating leases. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR are considered important indicators of operating performance as they exclude the effects of financing and investing activities by eliminating the effects of interest, depreciation and amortization costs and certain accounting adjustments.
The debt and net debt leverage ratios are non-GAAP measures calculated by dividing Signet’s debt or net debt by adjusted EBITDA. Debt as used in these ratios is defined as current or long-term debt recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheet plus Preferred Shares. Net debt as used in these ratios is debt less the cash and cash equivalents on hand as of the balance sheet date. The adjusted debt and adjusted net debt leverage ratios are non-
GAAP measures calculated by dividing Signet’s adjusted debt or adjusted net debt by adjusted EBITDAR. Adjusted debt is a non-GAAP measure defined as debt recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheet, plus Preferred Shares, plus an adjustment for operating leases (5x annual rent expense). Adjusted net debt, a non-GAAP measure, is adjusted debt less the cash and cash equivalents on hand as of the balance sheet dates. Management believes these financial measures are helpful to investors and analysts to analyze trends in Signet’s business and evaluate Signet’s performance. The debt and adjusted debt leverage ratios are key to the Company’s capital allocation strategy as measures of the Company’s optimized capital structure. The net debt and adjusted net debt leverage ratios are supplemental to the debt and adjusted debt ratios as both investors and management find it useful to consider cash on hand available to pay down debt. These ratios are presented on a trailing twelve-month (“TTM”) basis, which uses either adjusted EBITDA or adjusted EBITDAR calculated on the prior four fiscal quarters.
The following information provides reconciliations of the most comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP to presented non-GAAP financial measures.
