SIGNET JEWELERS LIMITED
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Organization and principal accounting policies
Signet Jewelers Limited (“Signet” or the “Company”), a holding company incorporated in Bermuda, is the world’s largest retailer of diamond jewelry. The Company operates through its 100% owned subsidiaries with sales primarily in the United States (“US”), United Kingdom (“UK”) and Canada. Signet manages its business as three reportable segments: North America, International, and Other. The “Other” reportable segment consists of subsidiaries involved in the purchasing and conversion of rough diamonds to polished stones. See Note 4 for additional discussion of the Company’s segments.
Signet’s business is seasonal, with the fourth quarter accounting for approximately 35-40% of annual sales as well as accounts for a substantial portion of the annual operating profit. The “Holiday Season” consists of results for the months of November and December, with December being the highest volume month of the year.
The Company has evaluated and determined that there were no additional events or transactions subsequent to October 31, 2020 for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the condensed consolidated interim financial statements were issued.
Risks and Uncertainties - COVID-19
In December 2019, a novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was identified in Wuhan, China. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic as a result of the further spread of the virus into all regions of the world, including those regions where the Company’s primary operations occur in North America and the UK. COVID-19 has significantly impacted consumer traffic and the Company’s retail sales, based on the perceived public health risk and government-imposed quarantines and restrictions of public gatherings and commercial activity to contain spread of the virus.
Effective March 23, 2020, the Company temporarily closed all of its stores in North America, its diamond operations in New York and its support centers in the US. Additionally, effective March 24, 2020, the Company temporarily closed all of its stores in the UK. The COVID-19 pandemic has also disrupted the Company’s global supply chain, including the temporary closure of the Company’s diamond polishing operations in Botswana, and may cause additional disruptions to operations if employees of the Company become sick, are quarantined, or are otherwise limited in their ability to work at Company locations or travel for business. The Company continued to fill e-commerce orders during the temporary closure period of all stores. Beginning in the second quarter, the Company began a measured approach to re-opening its stores, and by the end of the third quarter had re-opened substantially all of its stores. At the beginning of November 2020, the UK re-established mandated temporary closure of non-essential businesses, which is currently expected to continue for four weeks until early December 2020.
In addition, as a result of the uncertainty surrounding the impacts of COVID-19, beginning in March 2020, there was a significant decline in all major domestic and global financial market indicators. The Company’s share price and market capitalization significantly declined during the first half of Fiscal 2021 and while there has been substantial recovery, the sustainability of this recovery is still unpredictable in light of the current economic conditions and risks to the retail markets from COVID-19.
The full extent and duration of the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s operations and financial performance is currently unknown and depends on future developments that are uncertain and unpredictable, including the duration and possible resurgence of the pandemic, its impact on capital and financial markets on a macro-scale and the actions to contain the virus or mitigate its impact, among others. While the full extent of the impact of COVID-19 is currently unknown, it had a significant impact on Signet’s results of operations and cash flows during the first half of Fiscal 2021. However, management currently believes that it has adequate liquidity and business plans to continue to operate the business and mitigate the risks associated with COVID-19 for the 12 months following the date of this report.
As a result of the potential risks identified related to COVID-19 on its condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company considered and performed the following assessments during Fiscal 2021: impairment assessments for goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets and store level long-lived assets (including property and equipment and operating lease right-of-use assets); assessment of rent concessions, including deferrals or other lease modifications; assessment of the effectiveness of certain foreign currency and commodity derivative financial instruments; assessment of the realizability of the Company’s deferred tax assets; and assessment of the impacts of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) enacted on March 27, 2020.
Basis of preparation
The condensed consolidated financial statements of Signet are prepared, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted from this report, as is permitted by such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for

the interim periods. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in Signet’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2020 filed with the SEC on March 26, 2020.
Use of estimates
The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements, in conformity with US GAAP and SEC regulations for interim reporting, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and as a result of the above noted risks associated with COVID-19, it is reasonably possible that those estimates will change in the near term and the effect could be material. Estimates and assumptions are primarily made in relation to the valuation of accounts receivables, inventories, deferred revenue, derivatives, employee benefits, income taxes, contingencies, leases, asset impairments for goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible and long-lived assets and the depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets.
Fiscal year
The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest to January 31 st. Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2020 refer to the 52 week periods ending January 30, 2021 and February 1, 2020, respectively. Within these condensed consolidated financial statements, the third quarter of the relevant fiscal years 2021 and 2020 refer to the 13 weeks ended October 31, 2020 and November 2, 2019, respectively.
Foreign currency translation
The financial position and operating results of certain foreign operations, including certain subsidiaries operating in the UK as part of the International segment and Canada as part of the North America segment, are consolidated using the local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange on the balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses are translated at the monthly average rates of exchange during the period. Resulting translation gains or losses are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”). Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in other operating income, net within the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
See Note 9 for additional information regarding the Company’s foreign currency translation.

2. New accounting pronouncements
The following section provides a description of new accounting pronouncements ("Accounting Standard Update" or "ASU") issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") that are applicable to the Company.
New accounting pronouncements recently adopted
The following ASU’s were adopted as of February 2, 2020. The impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements is described within the table below.

Standard |  | Description
ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software: Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract, issued July 2018. |  | Aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs in cloud computing arrangements with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
ASU No. 2018-14, Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Topic 715-20): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans, issued August 2018. |  | Modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other post-retirement plans and clarifies the disclosure requirements regarding projected benefit obligations and accumulated benefit obligations. The ASU is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The new guidance does not affect the existing recognition or measurement guidance, and therefore had no impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, issued August 2018. |  | Modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820 and eliminates ‘at a minimum’ from the phrase ‘an entity shall disclose at a minimum’ to promote the appropriate exercise of discretion by entities when considering fair value disclosures and to clarify that materiality is an appropriate consideration. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, issued June 2016. |  | Requires entities to measure and recognize expected credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost basis. The estimate of expected credit losses should consider historical information, current information, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of expected losses over the remaining contractual life that affect collectability. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations upon adoption; however, this ASU impacts the accounting for expected credit losses on the Company’s non-prime customer in-house finance receivables (as discussed in Note 11).

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This ASU is intended to reduce complexity in the accounting for income taxes while maintaining or improving the usefulness of information provided to financial statement users. The guidance amends certain existing provisions under ASC 740 to address a number of distinct items. This standard is effective for public companies in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for which financial statements have not yet been issued. Depending on the amendment, adoption may be applied on the retrospective, modified retrospective or prospective basis. The Company has elected to early adopt this ASU effective August 2, 2020 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations upon adoption.
New accounting pronouncements issued but not yet adopted
There are no new accounting pronouncements issued that are expected to be applicable to the Company in future periods.

(1) Includes sales from Signet’s diamond sourcing initiative.
The Company recognizes revenues when control of the promised goods and services are transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those goods. Transfer of control generally occurs at the time merchandise is taken from a store, or upon receipt of the merchandise by a customer for an e-commerce shipment. The Company excludes all taxes assessed by government authorities and collected from a customer from its reported sales. The Company’s revenue streams and their respective accounting treatments are further discussed below.

Merchandise sales and repairs
Store sales are recognized when the customer receives and pays for the merchandise at the store with cash, in-house customer finance, private label credit card programs, a third-party credit card or a lease purchase option. For online sales shipped to customers, sales are recognized at the estimated time the customer has received the merchandise. Amounts related to shipping and handling that are billed to customers are reflected in sales and the related costs are reflected in cost of sales. Revenues on the sale of merchandise are reported net of anticipated returns and sales tax collected. Returns are estimated based on previous return rates experienced. Any deposits received from a customer for merchandise are deferred and recognized as revenue when the customer receives the merchandise. Revenues derived from providing replacement merchandise on behalf of insurance organizations are recognized upon receipt of the merchandise by the customer. Revenues on repair of merchandise are recognized when the service is complete and the customer collects the merchandise at the store.
Extended service plans and lifetime warranty agreements (“ESP”)
The Company recognizes revenue related to ESP sales in proportion to when the expected costs will be incurred. The deferral period for ESP sales is determined from patterns of claims costs, including estimates of future claims costs expected to be incurred. Management reviews the trends in claims to assess whether changes are required to the revenue and cost recognition rates utilized. A significant change in estimates related to the time period or pattern in which warranty-related costs are expected to be incurred could materially impact revenues. All direct costs associated with the sale of these plans are deferred and amortized in proportion to the revenue recognized and disclosed as either other current assets or other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. These direct costs primarily include sales commissions and credit card fees. Amortization of deferred selling costs related to the Company’s warranty programs is included within selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Amortization of deferred selling costs was $8.5 million and $16.0 million during the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 31, 2020, respectively, and $8.4 million and $25.8 million during the 13 and 39 weeks ended November 2, 2019, respectively.
Unamortized deferred selling costs as of October 31, 2020, February 1, 2020 and November 2, 2019 were as follows:

(in millions) | October 31, 2020 |  | February 1, 2020 |  | November 2, 2019
Other current assets | $ | 24.0 |  |  | $ | 23.6 |  |  | $ | 23.5 |
Other assets | 81.7 |  |  | 80.0 |  |  | 76.1 |
Total deferred selling costs | $ | 105.7 |  |  | $ | 103.6 |  |  | $ | 99.6 |

The North America segment sells ESP, subject to certain conditions, to perform repair work over the life of the product. Customers generally pay for ESP at the store at the time of merchandise sale. Revenue from the sale of the lifetime ESP is recognized consistent with the estimated pattern of claim costs expected to be incurred by the Company in connection with performing under the ESP obligations. Lifetime ESP revenue is deferred and recognized over a maximum period of 17 years after the sale of the warranty contract. Although claims experience varies between the Company’s national banners, thereby resulting in different recognition rates, approximately 55% of revenue is recognized within the first two years on a weighted average basis.
The North America segment also sells a Jewelry Replacement Plan (“JRP”). The JRP is designed to protect customers from damage or defects of purchased merchandise for a period of three years. If the purchased merchandise is defective or becomes damaged under normal use in that time period, the item will be replaced. JRP revenue is deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the period of expected claims costs.
Signet also sells warranty agreements in the capacity of an agent on behalf of a third-party. The commission that Signet receives from the third-party is recognized at the time of sale less an estimate of cancellations based on historical experience.
Sale vouchers
Certain promotional offers award sale vouchers to customers who make purchases above a certain value, which grant a fixed discount on a future purchase within a stated time frame. The Company accounts for such vouchers by allocating the fair value of the voucher between the initial purchase and the future purchase using the relative-selling-price method. Sale vouchers are not sold on a stand-alone basis. The fair value of the voucher is determined based on the average sales transactions in which the vouchers were issued, when the vouchers are expected to be redeemed and the estimated voucher redemption rate. The fair value allocated to the future purchase is recorded as deferred revenue.
Consignment inventory sales
Sales of consignment inventory are accounted for on a gross sales basis. The Company maintains control of the merchandise through the point of sale and provides independent advice, guidance and after-sales services to customers. The products sold from consignment inventory are indistinguishable from other products that are sold to customers and are sold on the same terms. Supplier products are selected at the discretion of the Company. The Company is responsible for determining the selling price and physical security of the products.

As the Company began reopening stores and service centers during the second quarter of Fiscal 2021, the Company resumed recognizing service revenue as it fulfilled its performance obligations under the ESP.
4. Segment information
Financial information for each of Signet’s reportable segments is presented in the tables below. Signet’s chief operating decision maker utilizes segment sales and operating income, after the elimination of any inter-segment transactions, to determine resource allocations and performance assessment measures. Signet manages its business as three reportable segments: North America, International, and Other. Signet’s sales are derived from the retailing of jewelry, watches, other products and services as generated through the management of its reportable segments. The Company allocates certain support center costs between operating segments, and the remainder of the unallocated costs are included with the corporate and unallocated expenses presented. In addition, beginning in Fiscal 2021, the Company allocates restructuring costs (further described in Note 5) to the operating segment where these charges were incurred, and the presentation of such costs has been reflected consistently in all periods presented.
The North America reportable segment operates across the US and Canada. Its US stores operate nationally in malls and off-mall locations principally as Kay (Kay Jewelers and Kay Jewelers Outlet), Zales (Zales Jewelers and Zales Outlet), Jared (Jared The Galleria Of Jewelry and Jared Vault), James Allen and Piercing Pagoda, which operates through mall-based kiosks. Its Canadian stores operate as the Peoples Jewellers store banner. The segment also operates a variety of mall-based regional banners.
The International reportable segment operates stores in the UK, Republic of Ireland and Channel Islands. Its stores operate in shopping malls and off-mall locations (i.e. high street) principally as H.Samuel and Ernest Jones.
The Other reportable segment consists of subsidiaries involved in the purchasing and conversion of rough diamonds to polished stones.

5. Restructuring Plans
Signet Path to Brilliance Plan
During the first quarter of Fiscal 2019, Signet launched a three-year comprehensive transformation plan, the “Signet Path to Brilliance” plan (the “Plan”), to reposition the Company to be a share-gaining, OmniChannel jewelry category leader. The Plan was originally expected to result in pre-tax charges in the range of $200 million - $220 million over the duration of the plan of which $105 million - $115 million were expected to be cash charges. To date the Company has incurred charges of $252 million under the Plan, including $124 million in non-cash charges, which have exceeded the original estimates of the Plan based primarily on certain accelerated actions during Fiscal 2021, specifically as it relates to the optimization of its real estate footprint and the right-sizing of staffing at its stores and support centers. The remaining costs expected to be incurred under the Plan are $8 million - $12 million, of which $7 million - $10 million are expected to be cash charges.
Restructuring charges and other Plan related costs of $5.6 million and $46.6 million were recognized in the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 31, 2020, respectively, primarily related to store closure costs (including non-cash accelerated depreciation on property and equipment), severance costs and professional fees for legal and consulting services.

6. Redeemable preferred shares
On October 5, 2016, the Company issued 625,000 shares of Series A Redeemable Convertible Preference Shares (“Preferred Shares”) to certain affiliates of Leonard Green & Partners, L.P., for an aggregate purchase price of $625.0 million, or $1,000 per share (the “Stated Value”) pursuant to the investment agreement dated August 24, 2016. Preferred shareholders are entitled to a cumulative dividend at the rate of 5% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears either in cash or by increasing the stated value of the Preferred Shares. The Company declared the Preferred Share dividend during the first, second and third quarter of Fiscal 2021 payable “in-kind” by increasing the Stated Value of the Preferred Shares. The Stated Value of the Preferred Shares increased by $12.66 per share during the third quarter of Fiscal 2021, and increased by $12.81 per share subsequent to the end of the third quarter of Fiscal 2021, all of which will become payable upon liquidation of the Preferred Shares. Refer to Note 7 for additional discussion of the Company’s dividends on Preferred Shares.

There were no cumulative undeclared dividends on the Preferred Shares that reduced net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders during the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 31, 2020 or November 2, 2019. See Note 6 for additional discussion of the Company’s Preferred Shares.
Share repurchases
There were no share repurchases executed during the 39 weeks ended October 31, 2020 and November 2, 2019. The 2017 Program had $165.6 million remaining as of October 31, 2020.
8. Earnings (loss) per common share (“EPS”)
Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The computation of basic EPS is outlined in the table below:

The dilutive effect of share awards represents the potential impact of outstanding awards issued under the Company’s share-based compensation plans, including restricted shares, restricted stock units and stock options issued under the Omnibus Plan and stock options issued under the Share Saving Plans. The dilutive effect of Preferred Shares represents the potential impact for common shares that would be issued upon conversion. Potential common share dilution related to share awards and Preferred Shares is determined using the treasury stock and if-converted methods, respectively. Under the if-converted method, the Preferred Shares are assumed to be converted at the beginning of the period, and the resulting common shares are included in the denominator of the diluted EPS calculation for the entire period being presented, only in the periods in which such effect is dilutive. Additionally, in periods in which Preferred Shares are dilutive, cumulative dividends and accretion for issuance costs associated with the Preferred Shares are added back to net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders. See Note 6 for additional discussion of the Company’s Preferred Shares.
The computation of diluted EPS is outlined in the table below:

10. Income taxes

| 39 weeks ended
| October 31, 2020 |  | November 2, 2019
Estimated annual effective tax rate before discrete items | 19.5 | % |  | 13.6 | %
Discrete items recognized | 8.6 | % |  | (9.3) | %
Effective tax rate recognized in statement of operations | 28.1 | % |  | 4.3 | %

During the 39 weeks ended October 31, 2020, the Company’s effective tax rate was higher than the US federal income tax rate primarily due to the anticipated benefit from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) enacted on March 27, 2020, recognized as discrete items during the 39 weeks ended October 31, 2020, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of a valuation allowance recorded against certain US and state deferred tax assets and the impairment of goodwill which was not deductible for tax purposes. The Company’s effective tax rate for the same period during the prior year was lower than the US federal income tax rate primarily due to the unfavorable impact of impairment of goodwill which was not deductible for tax purposes.
19

Table of Contents
The CARES Act provides a technical correction to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”) allowing fiscal year tax filers with federal net operating losses arising in the 2017/2018 tax year to be carried back two years to tax years that had higher enacted tax rates resulting in a tax benefit of $73.8 million. The CARES Act also provides for net operating losses incurred in Fiscal 2021 to be carried back five years to tax years with higher enacted tax rates resulting in an anticipated tax benefit of $23.5 million. In addition, during the first quarter of Fiscal 2021, based on weighing all positive and negative evidence, management determined it was more likely than not that it would not be able to realize certain US and state deferred tax assets primarily related to state deferred tax assets including state net operating losses and recorded a valuation allowance of $66.9 million. The estimated annual effective tax rate excludes the effects of any discrete items that may be recognized in future periods.
As of October 31, 2020, there has been no material change in the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits, or the related accrued interest and penalties (where appropriate), in respect of uncertain tax positions identified and recorded as of February 1, 2020.
11. Accounts receivable
The following table presents the components of Signet’s accounts receivable:

(in millions) | October 31, 2020 |  | February 1, 2020 |  | November 2, 2019
Customer in-house finance receivables, net | $ | 39.6 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |
Accounts receivable, trade | 13.2 |  |  | 34.4 |  |  | 16.4 |
Accounts receivable, held for sale | 5.5 |  |  | 4.4 |  |  | 4.4 |
Accounts receivable, net | $ | 58.3 |  |  | $ | 38.8 |  |  | $ | 20.8 |

As previously disclosed, during Fiscal 2018, Signet announced a strategic initiative to outsource its North America private label credit card programs and sell the existing in-house finance receivables. In October 2017, Signet, through its subsidiary Sterling Jewelers Inc. (“Sterling”), completed the sale of the prime-only credit quality portion of Sterling’s in-house finance receivable portfolio to Comenity Bank (“Comenity”). In June 2018, the Company completed the sale of the non-prime in-house accounts receivable to CarVal Investors (“CarVal”) and the appointed minority party, Castlelake, L.P. (“Castlelake” and collectively with CarVal, the “Investors”).
In addition, for a five-year term, Signet would remain the issuer of non-prime credit with investment funds managed by the Investors purchasing forward receivables at a discount rate determined in accordance with their respective agreements. Signet would hold the newly issued non-prime credit receivables on its balance sheet for two business days prior to selling the receivables to the respective counterparty in accordance with the agreements. Receivables issued by the Company but pending transfer to the Investors as of period end were classified as “held for sale” and included in the accounts receivable caption in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of October 31, 2020, February 1, 2020, and November 2, 2019, the accounts receivable held for sale were recorded at fair value.
In conjunction with the sale of the majority of Signet’s non-prime in-house accounts receivable to the Investors, beginning in June 2018, the Investors began purchasing the majority of forward flow receivables of Signet’s non-prime credit from Signet for a five-year term. In Fiscal 2020, those forward flow receivables represented approximately 7% of Signet’s revenue. During Fiscal 2021, the 2018 agreements pertaining to the purchase of forward flow receivables were terminated and new agreements were executed with both Investors which will remain effective until June 2021, unless terminated earlier by either party pursuant to the terms of respective agreements. The new agreements provide that the Investors will continue to purchase add-on receivables created on existing customer accounts at a discount rate determined in accordance with the new agreements. Signet will retain forward flow non-prime receivables created for new customers, which are expected to represent less than 2.5% of Signet’s Fiscal 2021 revenue. The termination of the previous agreements has no effect on the receivables that were previously sold to the Investors prior to the termination, except that Signet agreed to extend the Investors’ payment obligation for the remaining 5% of the receivables previously purchased in June 2018 until the new agreements terminate. The Company’s agreement with the credit servicer Genesis Financial Solutions remains in place.
Receivables issued by the Company but pending transfer to its credit partners as of period end are classified as held for sale. Accounts receivable classified as trade receivables are comprised primarily of accounts receivable related to the sale of diamonds to third parties from its polishing factory deemed unsuitable for Signet's needs in the Other segment.
Customer in-house finance receivables
As discussed above, the Company has begun to retain certain customer in-house finance receivables beginning in the second quarter of Fiscal 2021. The allowance for credit losses is an estimate of expected credit losses, measured over the estimated life of its credit card receivables that considers forecasts of future economic conditions in addition to information about past events and current conditions. The Company accounts for the expected credit losses under ASC 326, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which is referred to as the Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”) model. The estimate under the CECL model is significantly influenced by the composition, characteristics and quality of the Company’s portfolio of credit card receivables, as well as the prevailing economic conditions and forecasts utilized. The estimate of the allowance for credit losses includes an estimate for uncollectible principal as well as unpaid interest and fees.
20

Table of Contents
The allowance is maintained through an adjustment to the provision for credit losses and is evaluated for appropriateness and adjusted quarterly. CECL requires entities to use a “pooled” approach to estimate expected credit losses for financial assets with similar risk characteristics. The Company evaluated multiple risk characteristics of its credit card receivables portfolio and determined that credit quality and account vintage to be the most significant characteristics for estimating expected credit losses. To estimate its allowance for credit losses, the Company segregates its credit card receivables into credit quality categories using the customers’ FICO scores.
The following three industry standard FICO score categories are used:
•620 to 659 (“Near Prime”)
•580 to 619 (“Subprime”)
•Less than 580 (“Deep Subprime”)
These risk characteristics are evaluated on at least an annual basis, or more frequently as facts and circumstances warrant. The expected loss rates are adjusted on a quarterly basis based on historical loss trends and are risk-adjusted for current and future economic conditions and events. As summarized in the table below, based on the changes in the agreements with the Investors in Fiscal 2021, there is currently one vintage year since the Company began maintaining new accounts.
The following table disaggregates the Company’s customer in-house finance receivables by credit quality and vintage year as of October 31, 2020:

(in millions) |  |  |  |  |  | Year of origination |  |
Credit quality |  |  |  |  |  | Fiscal 2021 |  |
Near Prime |  |  |  |  |  | $ | 26.4 |  |  |
Subprime |  |  |  |  |  | 21.8 |  |  |
Deep Subprime |  |  |  |  |  | 6.0 |  |  |
Total at amortized cost |  |  |  |  |  | $ | 54.2 |  |  |

In estimating its allowance for credit losses, for each identified risk category, management utilized estimation methods based primarily on historical loss experience, current conditions, and other relevant factors. These methods utilize historical charge-off data of the Company’s non-prime portfolio, as well as incorporate any applicable macroeconomic variables (such as unemployment) that may be expected to impact credit performance. In addition to the quantitative estimate of expected credit losses under CECL using the historical loss information, the Company also incorporates qualitative adjustments for certain factors such as Company specific risks, changes in current economic conditions that may not be captured in the quantitatively derived results, or other relevant factors to ensure the allowance for credit losses reflects the Company’s best estimate of current expected credit losses. Management considered qualitative factors such as the unfavorable macroeconomic conditions caused by the COVID-19 uncertainty (including rates of unemployment), the Company’s non-prime portfolio performance during the prior recession, and the potential impacts of the economic stimulus packages in the US, in developing its estimate for current expected credit losses for the current period.
The following table is a rollforward of the Company’s allowance for credit losses on customer in-house finance receivables:

(in millions) |  |
Balance at February 1, 2020 |  | $ | — |
Provision for credit losses |  | 14.6 |
Write-offs |  | — |
Recoveries |  | — |
Balance at October 31, 2020 |  | $ | 14.6 |

Beginning in the second quarter, in connection with the new agreements executed with the Investors, additions to the allowance for credit losses are made by recording charges to bad debt expense (credit losses) within selling, general and administrative expenses within the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The uncollectible portion of customer in-house finance receivables are charged to the allowance for credit losses when an account is written-off after 180 days of non-payment, or in circumstances such as bankrupt or deceased cardholders. Write-offs on customer in-house finance receivables include uncollected amounts related to principal, interest, and late fees. Recoveries on customer in-house finance receivables previously written-off as uncollectible are credited to the allowance for credit losses.
A credit card account is contractually past due if the Company does not receive the minimum payment by the specified due date on the cardholder’s statement. It is the Company’s policy to continue to accrue interest and fee income on all credit card accounts, except in

limited circumstances, until the credit card account balance and all related interest and other fees are paid or charged-off, typically at 180 days delinquent, as noted above.
The following table disaggregates the Company’s customer in-house finance receivables by past due status as of October 31, 2020:

(in millions) |  |
Current |  | $ | 47.6 |
1 - 30 days past due |  | 4.0 |
31 - 60 days past due |  | 1.5 |
61 - 90 days past due |  | 0.7 |
Greater than 90 days past due |  | 0.4 |
Total at amortized cost |  | $ | 54.2 |

Accrued interest is included within the same line item as the respective principal amount of the customer in-house finance receivables in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The accrual of interest is discontinued at the time the receivable is determined to be uncollectible and written-off. Accrued interest during the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 31, 2020 was immaterial.
12. Inventories
The following table summarizes the Company’s inventory by classification:

(1) Refer to Note 15 for additional information.
(2) During the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 31, 2020, the Company recorded $0.9 million and $3.2 million, respectively, of gains on terminations or modifications of leases resulting from previously recorded impairments of the right of use assets.
Long-lived assets of the Company consist primarily of property and equipment, definite-lived intangible assets and operating lease right-of-use (ROU) assets. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Potentially impaired assets or asset groups are identified by reviewing the undiscounted cash flows of individual stores. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the store asset group, based on the Company’s internal business plans. If the undiscounted cash flow for the store asset group is less than its carrying amount, the long-lived assets are measured for potential impairment by estimating the fair value of the assets in the group, and recording an impairment loss for the amount that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value. The Company utilizes primarily the replacement cost method to estimate the fair value of its property and equipment, and the income capitalization method to estimate the fair value of its ROU assets, which incorporates historical store level sales, internal business plans, real estate market capitalization and rental rates, and discount rates.

Due to the various impacts of COVID-19 to the Company’s business during the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2020, including the temporary closure of all the Company’s stores beginning in late March 2020 (see additional information in Note 1), the Company determined triggering events had occurred for certain of the Company’s long-lived asset groups at the individual stores that required an interim impairment assessment during the first quarter of Fiscal 2021. This impacted property and equipment and ROU assets at the store level. The Company identified certain stores in the initial recoverability test which had carrying values in excess of the estimated undiscounted cash flows. For these stores failing the recoverability test, a fair value assessment for these long-lived assets was performed, and as a result of the estimated fair values, the Company recorded an impairment charge for property and equipment of $13.8 million and ROU assets of $28.5 million for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2020.
During the 13 weeks ended August 1, 2020, the Company completed its quarterly trigger event assessment and determined that a triggering event had occurred for certain additional long-lived asset groups at the individual stores based on real estate assessments (including store closure decisions) and the continued uncertainty related to COVID-19 on forecasted cash flows for the remaining lease period for certain stores. These events required an interim impairment assessment during the second quarter of Fiscal 2021 for the identified store assets. This impacted property and equipment and ROU assets at the store level. The Company identified certain stores in the initial recoverability test which had carrying values in excess of the estimated undiscounted cash flows. For these stores failing the recoverability test, a fair value assessment for these long-lived assets was performed, and as a result of the estimated fair values, the Company recorded impairment charges for property and equipment of $11.9 million and ROU assets of $8.4 million for the 13 weeks ended August 1, 2020.
During the 13 weeks ended October 31, 2020, the Company completed its quarterly trigger event assessment and determined that a triggering event had occurred for certain additional long-lived asset groups at the individual stores based on real estate assessments (including store closure decisions) and the continued uncertainty related to COVID-19 on forecasted cash flows for the remaining lease period for certain stores. These events required an interim impairment assessment during the third quarter of Fiscal 2021 for the identified store assets. This impacted property and equipment and ROU assets at the store level. The Company identified certain stores in the initial recoverability test which had carrying values in excess of the estimated undiscounted cash flows. For these stores failing the recoverability test, a fair value assessment for these long-lived assets was performed, and as a result of the estimated fair values, the Company recorded impairment charges for property and equipment of $1.5 million and ROU assets of $0.0 million, which is net of $0.9 million gains on terminations or modifications of leases resulting from previously recorded impairments of the right of use assets for the 13 weeks ended October 31, 2020.
The uncertainty of the COVID-19 impact to the Company’s business could continue to further negatively affect the operating performance and cash flows of the above identified stores or additional stores, including the magnitude and potential resurgence of COVID-19, occupancy restrictions during the holiday shopping season, the inability to achieve cost savings initiatives included in the business plans, or macroeconomic factors which influence consumer behavior. I n addition, key assumptions used to estimate fair value, such as sales trends, capitalization and market rental rates, and discount rates could impact the fair value estimates of the store assets in future periods.
14. Leases
Signet occupies certain properties and holds machinery and vehicles under operating leases. Signet determines if an arrangement is a lease at the agreement’s inception. Certain operating leases include predetermined rent increases, which are charged to store occupancy costs within cost of sales on a straight-line basis over the lease term, including any construction period or other rental holiday. Other variable amounts paid under operating leases, such as taxes and common area maintenance, are charged to selling, general and administrative expenses as incurred. Premiums paid to acquire short-term leasehold properties and inducements to enter into a lease are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In addition, certain leases provide for contingent rent based on a percentage of sales in excess of a predetermined level. Further, certain leases provide for variable rent increases based on indexes specified within the lease agreement. The variable increases based on an index are initially measured as part of the operating lease liability using the index at the commencement date. Contingent rent and subsequent changes to variable increases based on indexes will be recognized in the variable lease cost and included in the determination of total lease cost when it is probable that the expense has been incurred and the amount is reasonably estimable. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and current and non-current operating lease liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
23

Table of Contents
ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate available at the lease commencement date, based primarily on the underlying lease term, in measuring the present value of lease payments. Lease terms, which include the period of the lease that cannot be canceled, may also include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. The operating lease ROU asset may also include initial direct costs, prepaid and/or accrued lease payments and the unamortized balance of lease incentives received. ROU assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable in accordance with the Company’s long-lived asset impairment assessment policy.
Payments arising from operating lease activity, as well as variable and short-term lease payments not included within the operating lease liability, are included as operating activities on the Company’s consolidated statement of cash flows. Operating lease payments representing costs to ready an asset for its intended use (i.e. leasehold improvements) are represented within investing activities within the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows.
The Company deferred substantially all of its rent payments due in the months of April 2020 and May 2020. The Company began paying certain rents in June 2020 and all rents in July 2020. In total, the Company had approximately $81 million of rent payments originally due in Fiscal 2021 that have been deferred to beyond Fiscal 2021 (expected to paid by the end of the second quarter of Fiscal 2022). The Company has not recorded any provision for interest or penalties which may arise as a result of these deferrals, as management does not believe payment for any potential amounts to be probable. In April 2020, the FASB granted guidance (hereinafter, the practical expedient) permitting an entity to choose to forgo the evaluation of the enforceable rights and obligations of the original lease contract, specifically in situations where rent concessions have been agreed to with landlords as a result of COVID-19. Instead, the entity may account for COVID-19 related rent concessions, whatever their form (e.g. rent deferral, abatement or other) either: a) as if they were part of the enforceable rights and obligations of the parties under the existing lease contract; or b) as lease modifications. In accordance with this practical expedient, the Company has elected not to account for any concessions granted by landlords as a result of COVID-19 as lease modifications. Rent abatements under the practical expedient would be recorded as a negative variable lease cost. The Company is currently negotiating with nearly all of its landlords, and to date, has received certain concessions in the form of rent deferrals and other lease or rent modifications. In addition, the Company continued recording lease expense during the deferral period in accordance with its existing policies.
The weighted average lease term and discount rate for the Company’s outstanding operating leases were as follows:

15. Goodwill and intangibles
Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets, such as indefinite-lived trade names, are evaluated for impairment annually. Additionally, if events or conditions indicate the carrying value of a reporting unit or an indefinite-lived intangible asset may be greater than its fair value, the Company would evaluate the asset for impairment at that time. Impairment testing compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit or other intangible assets with its fair value. When the carrying amount of the reporting unit or other intangible assets exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recorded.
Due to various impacts of COVID-19 to the Company’s business during the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2020, the Company determined a triggering event had occurred that required an interim impairment assessment for all of its reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets. The income approach was used to estimate the fair value of each reporting unit, whereby the Company calculates the fair value based on the present value of estimated future cash flows, using a discount rate aligned with market-based assumptions. The relief-from-royalty method was used to estimate the fair value of indefinite-lived intangible assets. As part of the assessment, it was determined that an increase in the discount rates were required to reflect the prevailing uncertainty inherent in the forecasts due to current market conditions and potential COVID-19 impacts. This higher discount rate, in conjunction with revised long-term projections associated with certain aspects of the Company’s forecast, resulted in lower than previously projected long-term future cash flows for the reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets which negatively affected the valuation compared to previous valuations. As a result of the interim impairment assessment, the Company recognized pre-tax impairment charges for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets totaling $94 million in the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2020.
During the second quarter of Fiscal 2021, the Company completed its annual evaluation of its indefinite-lived intangible assets, including goodwill and trade names identified in the Zale acquisition, and through this assessment, the Company did not identify any events or conditions that would indicate that it was more likely than not that the carrying values of the reporting units and indefinite-lived trade names exceeded their fair values. Additionally, the Company completed its quarterly trigger event assessment and determined that no triggering event had occurred during the second quarter of Fiscal 2021 requiring interim impairment assessments for its remaining reporting units with goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets.
Based on management’s trigger event assessment during the 13 weeks ended October 31, 2020, the Company did not identify any events or conditions that would indicate that it was more likely than not that the carrying values of the reporting units and indefinite-lived trade names exceed their fair values.

Table of Contents
The uncertainty of the COVID-19 impact could negatively affect the share price of the Company’s stock, as well as key assumptions used to estimate fair value, such as sales trends, margin trends, long-term growth and discount rates. In addition, as a result of the impairment of goodwill and trade names during the first quarter of Fiscal 2021, the Company’s goodwill and trade names within the North America segment approximate their respective fair values and could be at risk for additional impairments should there be an adverse business or economic change in future periods.
Goodwill
During the 13 weeks ended August 3, 2019, a non-cash immaterial out-of-period adjustment of $47.7 million, with $35.2 million related to Zales goodwill and $12.5 million related to R2Net goodwill, was recognized within asset impairments on the condensed consolidated statements of operations related to an error in the calculation of goodwill impairments during Fiscal 2019.
During the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2020, the Company recognized pre-tax impairment charges within asset impairments on the condensed consolidated statements of operations of $10.7 million within its North America segment related to R2Net and Zales Canada goodwill.
The following table summarizes the Company’s goodwill by reportable segment:

(in millions) |  | North America |  |  |  |  |  |
Balance at February 2, 2019 |  | $ | 296.6 |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Impairment(1) |  | (47.7) |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Impact of foreign exchange and other adjustments |  | (0.1) |  |  |  |  |  |  |

(1) During Fiscal 2020, an immaterial out-of-period adjustment was recognized related to an error in the calculation of goodwill impairments during Fiscal 2019.
Intangibles
Definite-lived intangible assets include trade names and favorable lease agreements. All indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of trade names. Both definite and indefinite-lived assets are recorded within intangible assets, net, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Intangible liabilities, net, is comprised of unfavorable lease agreements and contracts and is recorded within other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The following table provides additional detail regarding the composition of intangible assets and liabilities:

|  | October 31, 2020 |  | February 1, 2020 |  | November 2, 2019
(in millions) |  | Gross carrying amount |  | Accumulated amortization(1) |  | Net carrying amount |  | Gross carrying amount |  | Accumulated amortization(1) |  | Net carrying amount |  | Gross carrying amount |  | Accumulated amortization(1) |  | Net carrying amount
Intangible assets, net: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Definite-lived intangible assets |  | $ | 53.1 |  |  | $ | (51.5) |  |  | $ | 1.6 |  |  | $ | 53.2 |  |  | $ | (50.9) |  |  | $ | 2.3 |  |  | $ | 53.2 |  |  | $ | (50.7) |  |  | $ | 2.5 |
Indefinite-lived intangible assets |  | 474.7 |  |  | (297.5) |  |  | 177.2 |  |  | 475.4 |  |  | (213.9) |  |  | 261.5 |  |  | 475.8 |  |  | (214.1) |  |  | 261.7 |
Total intangible assets, net |  | $ | 527.8 |  |  | $ | (349.0) |  |  | $ | 178.8 |  |  | $ | 528.6 |  |  | $ | (264.8) |  |  | $ | 263.8 |  |  | $ | 529.0 |  |  | $ | (264.8) |  |  | $ | 264.2 |
Intangible liabilities, net |  | $ | (113.8) |  |  | $ | 102.0 |  |  | $ | (11.8) |  |  | $ | (113.9) |  |  | $ | 98.0 |  |  | $ | (15.9) |  |  | $ | (113.9) |  |  | $ | 96.7 |  |  | $ | (17.2) |

(1) Accumulated amortization amounts related to the indefinite-lived intangible assets represents accumulated impairment losses recorded to date and includes the impact of foreign currency.
The interim impairment test resulted in the determination that the fair values of indefinite-lived intangible assets related to certain Zales trade names were less than their carrying value. Accordingly, in the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2020, the Company recognized pre-tax impairment charges within asset impairments on the condensed consolidated statements of operations of $83.3 million within its North America segment.

16. Derivatives
Derivative transactions are used by Signet for risk management purposes to address risks inherent in Signet’s business operations and sources of financing. The main risks arising from Signet’s operations are market risk including foreign currency risk, commodity risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk. Signet uses derivative financial instruments to manage and mitigate certain of these risks under policies reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors. Signet does not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes.
Market risk
Signet generates revenues and incurs expenses in US dollars, Canadian dollars and British pounds. As a portion of the International segment purchases and purchases made by the Canadian operations of the North America segment are denominated in US dollars, Signet enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign currency swaps to manage this exposure to the US dollar.
Signet holds a fluctuating amount of British pounds and Canadian dollars reflecting the cash generative characteristics of operations. Signet’s objective is to minimize net foreign exchange exposure to the condensed consolidated statement of operations on non-US dollar denominated items through managing cash levels, non-US dollar denominated intra-entity balances and foreign currency swaps. In order to manage the foreign exchange exposure and minimize the level of funds denominated in British pounds and Canadian dollars, dividends are paid regularly by subsidiaries to their immediate holding companies and excess British pounds and Canadian dollars are sold in exchange for US dollars.
Signet’s policy is to reduce the impact of precious metal commodity price volatility on operating results through the use of outright forward purchases of, or by entering into options to purchase, precious metals within treasury guidelines approved by the Board of Directors. In particular, Signet undertakes some hedging of its requirements for gold through the use of forward purchase contracts, options and net zero premium collar arrangements (a combination of forwards and option contracts).
Liquidity risk
Signet’s objective is to ensure that it has access to, or the ability to generate, sufficient cash from either internal or external sources in a timely and cost-effective manner to meet its commitments as they become due and payable. Signet manages liquidity risks as part of its overall risk management policy. Management produces forecasting and budgeting information that is reviewed and monitored by the Board of Directors. Cash generated from operations and external financing are the main sources of funding, which supplement Signet’s resources in meeting liquidity requirements.
The primary external sources of funding are an asset-based credit facility and senior unsecured notes as described in Note 18.
Interest rate risk
Signet has exposure to movements in interest rates associated with cash and borrowings. Signet may enter into various interest rate protection agreements in order to limit the impact of movements in interest rates.
Interest rate swap (designated) — The Company entered into an interest rate swap in March 2015 with an aggregate notional amount of $300.0 million that matured in April 2019. Under this contract, the Company agreed to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed contract rates and floating rate interest amounts calculated by reference to the agreed notional amounts. This contract was entered into to reduce the consolidated interest rate risk associated with variable rate, long-term debt. The Company designated this derivative as a cash flow hedge of the variability in expected cash outflows for interest payments. During the term of the interest rate swap, the Company effectively converted a portion of its variable-rate senior unsecured term loan into fixed-rate debt.
Credit risk and concentrations of credit risk
Credit risk represents the loss that would be recognized at the reporting date if counterparties failed to perform as contracted. Signet does not anticipate non-performance by counterparties of its financial instruments. Signet does not require collateral or other security to support cash investments or financial instruments with credit risk; however, it is Signet’s policy to only hold cash and cash equivalent investments and to transact financial instruments with financial institutions with a certain minimum credit rating. As of October 31, 2020, management does not believe Signet is exposed to any significant concentrations of credit risk that arise from cash and cash equivalent investments, derivatives or accounts receivable.
Commodity and foreign currency risks
The following types of derivative financial instruments are utilized by Signet to mitigate certain risk exposures related to changes in commodity prices and foreign exchange rates:
Forward foreign currency exchange contracts (designated) — These contracts, which are principally in US dollars, are entered into to limit the impact of movements in foreign exchange rates on forecasted foreign currency purchases. These contracts were de-designated during the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2020. This de-designation occurred due to uncertainly around the volume of purchases in the Company’s UK business. These contracts were unlikely to retain hedge effectiveness given the change in circumstances.
27

Table of Contents
Trading for these contracts resumed during the third quarter of Fiscal 2021. Gains, losses, and fair values for these contracts were not material for the third quarter of Fiscal 2021. The total notional amount of these foreign currency contracts outstanding as of October 31, 2020 was $13.5 million (February 1, 2020 and November 2, 2019: $23.0 million and $25.0 million, respectively). These contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges and will be settled over the next 12 months (February 1, 2020 and November 2, 2019: 12 months and 11 months, respectively).
Forward foreign currency exchange contracts (undesignated) — Foreign currency contracts not designated as cash flow hedges are used to limit the impact of movements in foreign exchange rates on recognized foreign currency payables and to hedge currency flows through Signet’s bank accounts to mitigate Signet’s exposure to foreign currency exchange risk in its cash and borrowings. The total notional amount of these foreign currency contracts outstanding as of October 31, 2020 was $51.3 million (February 1, 2020 and November 2, 2019: $224.2 million and $134.3 million, respectively).
Commodity forward purchase contracts and net zero-cost collar arrangements (designated) — These contracts are entered into to reduce Signet’s exposure to significant movements in the price of the underlying precious metal raw materials. During the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2020, the contracts which were still outstanding (and unrealized) were de-designated and liquidated. The contracts which were already settled remain designated as the hedged inventory purchases from these contracts are still on hand. The unrealized contracts were de-designated as a result of uncertainty around the Company’s future purchasing volume due to COVID-19 and thus the contracts were unlikely to retain hedge effectiveness.
Trading for these contracts resumed during the third quarter of Fiscal 2021. Gains, losses, and fair values for these contracts were not material for the third quarter of Fiscal 2021. The total notional amount of these commodity derivative contracts outstanding as of October 31, 2020 was 11,000 ounces of gold (February 1, 2020 and November 2, 2019: 63,000 ounces and 75,000 ounces, respectively). These contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges and will be settled over the next 6 months (February 1, 2020 and November 2, 2019: 12 months and 14 months, respectively).
The bank counterparties to the derivative instruments expose Signet to credit-related losses in the event of their non-performance. However, to mitigate that risk, Signet only contracts with counterparties that meet certain minimum requirements under its counterparty risk assessment process. As of October 31, 2020, Signet believes that this credit risk did not materially change the fair value of the foreign currency or commodity contracts.

17. Fair value measurement
The estimated fair value of Signet’s financial instruments held or issued to finance Signet’s operations is summarized below. Certain estimates and judgments were required to develop the fair value amounts. The fair value amounts shown below are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that Signet would realize upon disposition nor do they indicate Signet’s intent or ability to dispose of the financial instrument. Assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value are required to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level 1—quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities
Level 2—observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data
Level 3—unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data
Signet determines fair value based upon quoted prices when available or through the use of alternative approaches, such as discounting the expected cash flows using market interest rates commensurate with the credit quality and duration of the investment. The methods Signet uses to determine fair value on an instrument-specific basis are detailed below:

| October 31, 2020 |  | February 1, 2020 |  | November 2, 2019

Investments in US Treasury securities and corporate equity securities are based on quoted market prices for identical instruments in active markets, and therefore were classified as Level 1 measurements in the fair value hierarchy. Investments in US government agency securities and corporate bonds and notes are based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, and therefore were classified as Level 2 measurements in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of derivative financial instruments has been

Table of Contents
determined based on market value equivalents at the balance sheet date, taking into account the current interest rate environment, foreign currency forward rates or commodity forward rates, and therefore were classified as Level 2 measurements in the fair value hierarchy. See Note 16 for additional information related to the Company’s derivatives.
During the second quarter of Fiscal 2019, the Company completed the sale of all eligible non-prime in-house accounts receivable. Upon closing, 5% of the purchase price was deferred until the second anniversary of the closing date. Final payment of the deferred purchase price is contingent upon the non-prime portfolio achieving a pre-defined yield. The Company recorded an asset at the transaction date related to this deferred payment at fair value. This estimated fair value was derived from a discounted cash flow model using unobservable Level 3 inputs, including estimated yields derived from historic performance, loss rates, payment rates and discount rates to estimate the fair value associated with the accounts receivable. The measurement period was completed in June 2020 and the Company expects to receive the full deferred payment of $23.5 million. As a result of the amended agreements described in Note 11, the deferred payment will now be due in June 2021, or earlier upon termination by the parties. This amount has been recorded within other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of October 31, 2020. See Note 11 for additional information.
Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets, are evaluated for impairment annually or more frequently if events or conditions indicate the carrying value of a reporting unit or an indefinite-lived intangible asset may be greater than its fair value. Long-lived asset impairment testing is performed if events occur which indicate the carrying value of the long-lived asset or asset group may be greater than its fair value, and when the undiscounted cash flows of the asset or asset group are below its carrying value. During the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2020, the Company performed an interim impairment test for goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets and long-lived assets. The fair value was calculated using the income approach for the reporting units and the relief from royalty method for the indefinite-lived intangible assets, respectively. The fair value is a Level 3 valuation based on certain unobservable inputs including estimated future cash flows and discount rates aligned with market-based assumptions, that would be utilized by market participants in valuing these assets or prices of similar assets. For long-lived assets, the Company utilizes primarily the replacement cost method for the fair value of its property and equipment, and the income method to estimate the fair value of its ROU assets, which incorporates Level 3 inputs such as historical store level sales, internal business plans, real estate market capitalization and rental rates, and discount rates. See Note 13 and Note 15 for additional information.
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and income taxes approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these amounts.
The fair values of long-term debt instruments, excluding revolving credit facilities, were determined using quoted market prices in inactive markets or discounted cash flows based upon current observable market interest rates and therefore were classified as Level 2 measurements in the fair value hierarchy. The carrying value of the ABL Revolving Facility (as defined in Note 18) approximates fair value. The following table provides a summary of the carrying amount and fair value of outstanding debt:

Revolving credit facility and senior unsecured term loan (the “Credit Facility”)
On September 27, 2019, in connection with the issuance of a new senior secured asset-based credit facility, the Company repaid and terminated the Credit Facility. Refer to the “Asset-based credit facility” section below. The original maturity of the Credit Facility was July 2021.
Senior unsecured notes due 2024
On May 19, 2014, Signet UK Finance plc (“Signet UK Finance”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, issued $400 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.70% senior unsecured notes due in 2024 (the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes were issued under an effective registration statement previously filed with the SEC. The Senior Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed, on a full and unconditional basis, by the Company and by certain of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries (such subsidiaries, the “Guarantors”). See Supplemental Guarantor Financial Information within Item 2 of this Form 10-Q for additional information.
On September 5, 2019, Signet UK Finance announced the commencement of a tender offer to purchase any and all of its outstanding Senior Notes (the “Tender Offer”). Upon receipt of the requisite consents from Senior Note holders, Signet UK Finance entered into a supplemental indenture which eliminated most of the restrictive covenants and certain default provisions of the indenture. The supplemental indenture became operative on September 27, 2019 upon the Company’s acceptance and payment for the Senior Notes previously validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Tender Offer for an aggregate principal amount of $239.6 million, which represented a purchase price of $950.00 per $1,000.00 in principal amount of the Senior Notes validly tendered.
Unamortized debt issuance costs relating to the Senior Notes as of October 31, 2020 was $0.9 million (February 1, 2020 and November 2, 2019: $1.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively). The unamortized debt issuance costs are recorded as a direct deduction from the outstanding liability within the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amortization relating to debt issuance costs of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, was recorded as interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 31, 2020, respectively ($0.2 million and $0.5 million for the 13 and 39 weeks ended November 2, 2019, respectively).
Asset-based credit facility
On September 27, 2019, the Company entered into a senior secured asset-based credit facility consisting of (i) a revolving credit facility in an aggregate committed amount of $1.5 billion (“ABL Revolving Facility”) and (ii) a first-in last-out term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $100.0 million (the “FILO Term Loan Facility” and, together with the ABL Revolving Facility, the “ABL Facility”) pursuant to that certain credit agreement. The ABL Facility will mature on September 27, 2024.
Revolving loans under the ABL Revolving Facility are available in an aggregate amount equal to the lesser of the aggregate ABL revolving commitments and a borrowing base determined based on the value of certain inventory and credit card receivables, subject to specified advance rates and reserves. Indebtedness under the ABL Facility is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, subject to customary exceptions. Borrowings under the ABL Revolving Facility and the FILO Term Loan Facility, as applicable, bear interest at the Company’s option at either eurocurrency rate plus the applicable margin or a base rate plus the applicable margin, in each case depending on the excess availability under the ABL Revolving Facility. The Company had stand-by letters of credit outstanding of $16.6 million on the ABL Revolving Facility as of October 31, 2020. The Company had available borrowing capacity of $483.1 million on the ABL Revolving Facility as of October 31, 2020.
If the excess availability under the ABL Revolving Facility falls below the threshold specified in the ABL Facility agreement, the Company will be required to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.00 to 1.00. As of October 31, 2020, the threshold related to the fixed coverage ratio was approximately $132 million. The ABL Facility places certain restrictions upon the Company’s ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends, grant liens and make certain loans, investments and divestitures. The ABL Facility contains customary events of default (including payment defaults, cross-defaults to certain of the Company’s other indebtedness, breach of representations and covenants and change of control). The occurrence of an event of default under the ABL Facility would permit the lenders to accelerate the indebtedness and terminate the ABL Facility.
Debt issuance costs relating to the ABL Facility totaled $9.3 million, of which $8.7 million of these costs were allocated to the ABL Revolving Facility and $0.6 million was allocated to the FILO Term Loan Facility. The remaining unamortized debt issuance costs for the ABL Revolving Facility are recorded within other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and the remaining unamortized debt issuance costs for the FILO Term Loan Facility are recorded as a direct deduction from the outstanding liability within the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amortization relating to the ABL Facility debt issuance costs of $0.5 million and $1.4 million was recorded as interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 31, 2020 ($0.1 million for the 13 and 39 weeks ended November 2, 2019). Unamortized debt issuance costs related to the ABL facility totaled $7.3 million as of October 31, 2020 (February 1, 2020 and November 2, 2019: $8.7 million and $9.2 million, respectively).
Other
As of October 31, 2020, February 1, 2020 and November 2, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.

Legal proceedings
Employment practices
As previously reported, in March 2008, a group of private plaintiffs (the “Claimants”) filed a class action lawsuit for an unspecified amount against SJI, a subsidiary of Signet, in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York alleging that US store-level employment practices are discriminatory as to compensation and promotional activities with respect to gender. In June 2008, the District Court referred the matter to private arbitration where the Claimants sought to proceed on a class-wide basis. The Claimants filed a motion for class certification and SJI opposed the motion. On February 2, 2015, the arbitrator issued a Class Determination Award in which she certified for a class-wide hearing Claimants’ disparate impact declaratory and injunctive relief class claim under Title VII, with a class period of July 22, 2004 through date of trial for the Claimants’ compensation claims and December 7, 2004 through date of trial for Claimants’ promotion claims. The arbitrator otherwise denied Claimants’ motion to certify a disparate treatment class alleged under Title VII, denied a disparate impact monetary damages class alleged under Title VII, and denied an opt-out monetary damages class under the Equal Pay Act. On February 9, 2015, Claimants filed an Emergency Motion To Restrict Communications With The Certified Class And For Corrective Notice. SJI filed its opposition to Claimants’ emergency motion on February 17, 2015, and a hearing was held on February 18, 2015. Claimants’ motion was granted in part and denied in part in an order issued on March 16, 2015. Claimants filed a Motion for Reconsideration Regarding Title VII Claims for Disparate Treatment in Compensation on February 11, 2015, which SJI opposed. April 27, 2015, the arbitrator issued an order denying the Claimants’ Motion. SJI filed with the US District Court for the Southern District of New York a Motion to Vacate the Arbitrator’s Class Certification Award on March 3, 2015, which Claimants opposed. On November 16, 2015, the US District Court for the Southern District of New York granted SJI’s Motion to Vacate the Arbitrator’s Class Certification Award in part and denied it in part. On December 3, 2015, SJI filed with the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit SJI’s Notice of Appeal of the District Court’s November 16, 2015 Opinion and Order. On November 25, 2015, SJI filed a Motion to Stay the AAA Proceedings while SJI appeals the decision of the US District Court for the Southern District of New York to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, which Claimants opposed. The arbitrator issued an order denying SJI’s Motion to Stay on February 22, 2016. SJI filed its Brief and Special Appendix with the Second Circuit on March 16, 2016. The matter was fully briefed, and oral argument was heard by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit on November 2, 2016. On April 6, 2015, Claimants filed in the AAA Claimants’ Motion for Clarification or in the Alternative Motion for Stay of the Effect of the Class Certification Award as to the Individual

Intentional Discrimination Claims, which SJI opposed. On June 15, 2015, the arbitrator granted the Claimants’ motion. On March 6, 2017, Claimants filed Claimants’ Motion for Conditional Certification of Claimants’ Equal Pay Act Claims and Authorization of Notice, which SJI opposed The arbitrator heard oral argument on Claimants’ Motion on December 18, 2015 and, on February 29, 2016, issued an Equal Pay Act Collective Action Conditional Certification Award and Order Re Claimants’ Motion For Tolling Of EPA Limitations Period, conditionally certifying Claimants’ Equal Pay Act claims as a collective action, and tolling the statute of limitations on EPA claims to October 16, 2003 to ninety days after notice issues to the putative members of the collective action. SJI filed in the AAA a Motion To Stay Arbitration Pending The District Court’s Consideration Of Respondent’s Motion To Vacate Arbitrator’s Equal Pay Act Collective Action Conditional Certification Award And Order Re Claimants’ Motion For Tolling Of EPA Limitations Period on March 10, 2016. SJI filed in the AAA a Renewed Motion To Stay Arbitration Pending The District Court’s Resolution Of Sterling’s Motion To Vacate Arbitrator’s Equal Pay Act Collective Action Conditional Certification Award And Order Re Claimants’ Motion For Tolling Of EPA Limitations Period on March 31, 2016, which Claimants opposed. On April 5, 2016, the arbitrator denied SJI’s Motion. On March 23, 2016 SJI filed with the US District Court for the Southern District of New York a Motion To Vacate The Arbitrator’s Equal Pay Act Collective Action Conditional Certification Award And Order Re Claimants’ Motion For Tolling Of EPA Limitations Period, which Claimants opposed. SJI’s Motion was denied on May 22, 2016. On May 31, 2016, SJI filed a Notice Of Appeal of Judge Rakoff’s opinion and order to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, which Claimant’s opposed. On June 1, 2017, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed SJI’s appeal for lack of appellate jurisdiction. Claimants filed a Motion For Amended Class Determination Award on November 18, 2015, and on March 31, 2016 the arbitrator entered an order amending the Title VII class certification award to preclude class members from requesting exclusion from the injunctive and declaratory relief class certified in the arbitration. The arbitrator issued a Bifurcated Case Management Plan on April 5, 2016 and ordered into effect the parties’ Stipulation Regarding Notice Of Equal Pay Act Collective Action And Related Notice Administrative Procedures on April 7, 2016. SJI filed in the AAA a Motion For Protective Order on May 2, 2016, which Claimants opposed. The matter was fully briefed, and oral argument was heard on July 22, 2016. The motion was granted in part on January 27, 2017. Notice to EPA collective action members was issued on May 3, 2016, and the opt-in period for these notice recipients closed on August 1, 2016. Approximately, 10,314 current and former employees submitted consent forms to opt in to the collective action; however, some have withdrawn their consents. The number of valid consents is disputed and yet to be determined. SJI believes the number of valid consents to be approximately 9,124. On July 24, 2017, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit issued its unanimous Summary Order that held that the absent class members “never consented” to the Arbitrator determining the permissibility of class arbitration under the agreements, and remanded the matter to the District Court to determine whether the Arbitrator exceeded her authority by certifying the Title VII class that contained absent class members who had not opted in the litigation. On August 7, 2017, SJI filed its Renewed Motion to Vacate the Class Determination Award relative to absent class members with the District Court. The matter was fully briefed, and an oral argument was heard on October 16, 2017. On November 10, 2017, SJI filed in the arbitration motions for summary judgment, and for decertification, of Claimants’ Equal Pay Act and Title VII promotions claims. On January 30, 2018, oral argument on SJI’s motions was heard. On January 26, 2018, SJI filed in the arbitration a Motion to Vacate The Equal Pay Act Collective Action Award And Tolling Order asserting that the Arbitrator exceeded her authority by conditionally certifying the Equal Pay Act claim and allowing the absent claimants to opt-in the litigation. On March 12, 2018, the Arbitrator denied SJI’s Motion to Vacate The Equal Pay Act Collective Action Award and Tolling Order. SJI still has a pending motion seeking decertification of the EPA Collective Action before the Arbitrator. On March 19, 2018, the Arbitrator issued an Order partially granting SJI’s Motion to Amend the Arbitrator’s November 2, 2017, Bifurcated Seventh Amended Case Management Plan resulting in a continuance of the May 14, 2018 trial date. A new trial date has not been set. On January 15, 2018, District Court granted SJI’s August 17, 2017 Renewed Motion to Vacate the Class Determination Award finding that the Arbitrator exceeded her authority by binding non-parties (absent class members) to the Title VII claim. The District Court further held that the RESOLVE Agreement does not permit class action procedures, thereby, reducing the Claimants in the Title VII matter from 70,000 to potentially 254. Claimants dispute that the number of claimants in the Title VII is 254. On January 18, 2018, the Claimants filed a Notice of Appeal with the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. The appeal was fully briefed and oral argument before the Second Circuit occurred on May 7, 2018. On May 17, 2019, SJI submitted a Rule 28(j) letter to the Second Circuit addressing the effects of the Supreme Court’s ruling in Lamps Plus, Inc. v. Varela, No. 17-988 (S. Ct. Apr. 24, 2019), on the pending appeal. The Second Circuit then issued an order directing the parties to submit additional arguments on that issue, which were submitted. On November 18, 2019 the Second Circuit issued an order reversing and remanding the District Court’s January 15, 2018 Order that vacated the Arbitrator’s Class Determination Award certifying for declaratory and injunctive relief a Title VII pay and promotions class of female retail sales employees. The Second Circuit held that the District Court erred when it concluded that the Arbitrator exceeded her authority in purporting to bind absent class members to the Class Determination Award. The Second Circuit remanded the case to the District Court to decide the narrower question of whether the Arbitrator erred in certifying an opt-out, as opposed to a mandatory, class for declaratory and injunctive relief. On December 2, 2019, SJI filed a petition for a hearing en banc with the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. On January 15, 2020, SJI filed a Rule 28(j) letter in the Second Circuit. On that same day the Second Circuit denied the petition for rehearing en banc. On January 21, 2020, Sterling filed its motion for stay of mandate with the Second Circuit pending the filing of a petition for writ of certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court. On January 22, 2020, the Second Circuit granted Sterling’s motion for stay of mandate. SJI’s petition for a writ of certiorari from the U.S. Supreme Court was denied on Octobere 5, 2020.

SJI denies the allegations of the Claimants and has been defending the case vigorously. At this point, no outcome or possible loss or range of losses, if any, arising from the litigation is able to be estimated.
As previously reported, on May 5, 2017, without any findings of liability or wrongdoing, SJI entered into a Consent Decree with the EEOC settling a previously disclosed lawsuit that alleged that SJI engaged in intentional and disparate impact gender discrimination with respect to pay and promotions of female retail store employees since January 1, 2003. On May 5, 2017 the U.S. District Court for the Western District of New York approved and entered the Consent Decree jointly proposed by the EEOC and SJI, resolving all of the EEOC’s claims against SJI in this litigation for various injunctive relief including but not limited to the appointment of an employment practices expert to review specific policies and practices, a compliance officer to be employed by SJI, as well as obligations relative to training, notices, reporting and record-keeping. The Consent Decree does not require an outside third-party monitor or require any monetary payment. The duration of the Consent Decree was three years and three months, expiring on August 4, 2020. On March 6, 2020, SJI and the EEOC filed their Joint Motion to Approve an Amendment to And Extension of the Term of the Consent Decree, which provides for a limited extension of a few aspects of the Consent Decree terms regarding SJI’s compensation practices, and incorporating its implementation of a new retail team member compensation program into the overall Consent Decree framework. This extension will enable SJI to implement changes to its retail team member compensation strategy and validate that the new program is consistent with the overall purposes of the Consent Decree. On March 11, 2020 the U.S. District Court for the Western District of New York granted the joint motion and entered the parties’ Amendment to And Extension of the Term of the Consent Decree. The term of the amended Consent Decree expires on November 4, 2021.
Shareholder Actions
As previously reported, in August 2016, two alleged Company shareholders each filed a putative class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company and its then-current Chief Executive Officer and current Chief Financial Officer (Nos. 16-cv-6728 and 16-cv-6861, the “S.D.N.Y. cases”). In 2017, three other Company shareholders each filed putative class action complaints (Nos. 17-cv-875, 17-cv-923, and 17-cv-9853) which were ultimately consolidated with the S.D.N.Y. cases under case number 16-cv-6728 (the “Consolidated Action”). The Consolidated Action was settled as further described below. The Consolidated Action alleged that the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by, among other things, misrepresenting the Company’s business and earnings by making misleading statements about the Company’s credit portfolio and failing to disclose reports of sexual harassment allegations that were raised by claimants in an ongoing pay and promotion gender discrimination class arbitration.
On March 15, 2019, the lead plaintiff moved for appointment of a class representative and class counsel and for certification of a class period of August 29, 2013, through March 13, 2018. On July 10, 2019, the Court granted the motion and certified a class of all persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired Signet common stock from August 29, 2013 to May 25, 2017. The Court also appointed a class representative and class counsel.
On July 24, 2019, the defendants filed with the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit a petition for permission to appeal the District Court’s class certification decision.
On March 16, 2020, the Company, all of the other defendant parties to the Consolidated Action, and the lead plaintiff entered into a settlement agreement in the Consolidated Action. The settlement of $240 million provides for the dismissal of the Consolidated Action with prejudice. The settlement agreement also states that the Company and all the other defendants expressly deny any and all allegations of fault, liability, wrongdoing, or damages whatsoever, and that defendants are entering into the settlement solely to eliminate the uncertainty, burden, and expense of further protracted litigation. As a result of the settlement, the Company recorded a charge of $33.2 million during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2020 in other operating income (loss), which includes administration costs of $0.6 million and is recorded net of expected recoveries from the Company’s insurance carriers of $207.4 million. As of May 2, 2020 and February 1, 2020, the liability related to settlement and administration fees was recorded in other current liabilities, and the expected insurance recoveries are recorded in other current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The settlement was fully funded in the second quarter of Fiscal 2021, and the Company contributed approximately $35 million of the $240 million settlement payment, net of insurance proceeds and including the impact of foreign currency. The Court granted final approval of the settlement on July 21, 2020.
In 2019, four actions were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York by investment funds that allegedly purchased the Company’s stock (Nos. 19-cv-2757, 19-cv-2758, 19-cv-9916 and 19-cv-9917), and name the Company and its current and former Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officers as defendants. All four complaints allege violations of Sections 10(b), 18, and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and common law fraud largely based on the same allegations as the Consolidated Action. Soon thereafter the Court entered orders staying these actions until entry of final judgment in the Consolidated Action.

On June 27, 2020, the Company and plaintiffs in the four stayed actions above reached a settlement in principle, which was finalized on July 10, 2020 requiring the Opt-Out Plaintiffs to rejoin the Consolidated Action. The Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $7.5 million, net of expected insurance recovery, during Fiscal 2021 in anticipation of those four settlements. The final amount of the settlement and net charge are dependent upon the amount the Opt-Out Plaintiffs receive as part of the Consolidated Action and is not expected to be materially different than the amounts recorded. The initial portion of the settlement due to the Opt-Out Plaintiffs under the settlement agreement was paid in August 2020.
Derivative Action
As previously reported, on September 1, 2017, Josanne Aungst filed a putative shareholder derivative action entitled Aungst v. Light, et al., No. CV-2017-3665, in the Court of Common Pleas for Summit County Ohio. The complaint in this action, which purported to have been brought by Ms. Aungst on behalf of the Company, named certain current and former directors and officers of the Company as defendants and alleged claims for breach of fiduciary duty, abuse of control, and gross mismanagement. The complaint challenged certain public disclosures and conduct relating to the allegations that were raised by the claimants in the Arbitration. The complaint also alleges that the Company’s share price was artificially inflated as a result of alleged misrepresentations and omissions. The defendants’ motion to dismiss the complaint was granted on February 28, 2019. Plaintiff appealed that dismissal in the Court of Appeals, Ninth Judicial District, Summit County, Ohio. On June 17, 2020, the Court of Appeals issued a decision affirming the dismissal. Plaintiff has not sought a discretionary appeal with the Supreme Court of Ohio, and the deadline for seeking any such appeal lapsed on August 3, 2020.
Regulatory Matters
As previously reported, on January 16, 2019, Sterling Jewelers Inc., (“Sterling”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Company, without admitting or denying any of the allegations, findings of fact, or conclusions of law (except to establish jurisdiction), entered into a Consent Order with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the "CFPB") and New York Attorney General (the “NY AG”) settling a previously disclosed investigation of certain in-store credit practices, promotions, and payment protection products (the "Consent Order"). Among other things, the Consent Order requires Sterling to (i) submit an accurate written compliance report to the CFPB; (ii) pay an $10,000,000 civil money penalty to the CFPB; (iii) pay a $1,000,000 civil money penalty to the NY AG: and (iv) maintain policies and procedures related to the issuance of credit cards, including with respect to credit applications, credit financing terms and conditions, and any related add-on products that are reasonably designed to ensure consumer knowledge or consent. All payments required by the Consent Order were made in February 2019. We continue to work to ensure compliance with the Consent Order, which may result in us incurring additional costs. See Item 1A of Signet’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2020 filed with the SEC on March 26, 2020 for risks relating to the CFPB and our continued compliance with the Consent Order.

OVERVIEW
Signet Jewelers Limited (“Signet” or the “Company”) is the world’s largest retailer of diamond jewelry. Signet is incorporated in Bermuda and its address and telephone number are shown on the cover of this document. Its corporate website is www.signetjewelers.com, from where documents that the Company is required to file or furnish with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) may be viewed or downloaded free of charge.
The Company, with 2,893 stores and kiosks as of October 31, 2020, manages its business by geography, a description of which follows:
•The North America segment has 2,436 locations in the US and 103 locations in Canada as of October 31, 2020.
◦In the US, the segment primarily operates in malls and off-mall locations under the following banners: Kay (Kay Jewelers and Kay Outlet); Zales (Zales Jewelers and Zales Outlet); Jared (Jared The Galleria Of Jewelry and Jared Vault); James Allen; and a variety of mall-based regional banners.

•The International segment has 354 stores in the UK, Republic of Ireland and Channel Islands as of October 31, 2020. The segment primarily operates in shopping malls and off-mall locations under the H.Samuel and Ernest Jones banners.
Certain Company activities (e.g. diamond sourcing) are managed in the “Other” segment for financial reporting purposes. The Company’s diamond sourcing function includes its diamond polishing factory in Botswana. See Note 4 of Item 1 for additional information regarding the Company’s reportable segments.
Impacts of COVID-19 to Signet’s business
In December 2019, a novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was identified in Wuhan, China. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic as a result of the further spread of the virus into all regions of the world, including those regions where the Company’s primary operations occur in North America and the UK. COVID-19 has significantly impacted consumer traffic and the Company’s retail sales, based on the perceived public health risk and government-imposed quarantines and restrictions of public gatherings and commercial activity to contain spread of the virus.
Effective March 23, 2020, the Company temporarily closed all of its stores in North America, its diamond operations in New York and its support centers in the United States. Additionally, effective March 24, 2020, the Company temporarily closed all of its stores in the UK. The COVID-19 pandemic has also disrupted the Company’s global supply chain, including the temporary closure of the Company’s diamond polishing operations in Botswana, and may cause additional disruptions to operations if employees of the Company become sick, are quarantined, or are otherwise limited in their ability to work at Company locations or travel for business. While the Company experienced a temporary disruption in its James Allen New York distribution center, the Company has continued to fill substantially all of its eCommerce orders during Fiscal 2021.
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly altered the retail climate and the Company is navigating that change by accelerating its application of the key Path to Brilliance initiatives developed over the past two years including the Company’s focus on becoming an OmniChannel leader, meeting the needs of its customers, removing non-customer facing costs, and accelerating the optimization of its real estate footprint. The Company continues to maintain its cost diligence efforts and net structural cost savings are on track to exceed $100 million in Fiscal 2021. Total three-year net cost savings through the end of Fiscal 2021 related to the Company’s Path to Brilliance are expected to be at least $285 million compared to its original target of $225 million. To date in Fiscal 2021, the Company has closed 316 store locations under the acceleration of these real estate initiatives. The Company continues to actively monitor and manage the situation related to its store and support center operations at the local level focusing on the best interests of its employees, customers, suppliers and shareholders. Beginning in May, Signet initiated a measured approach to store re-openings based on health and safety standards, as well as regional customer demand. As of the end of the third quarter, the Company had re-opened substantially all of its stores in North America and the UK. At the beginning of November 2020, the UK re-established mandated temporary closure of non-essential businesses, which is currently expected to continue for four weeks until early December 2020. Management does not currently expect this disruption in the UK to have a material impact to its fourth quarter or full year Fiscal 2021 results of operations; however, the re-opening of these locations will continue to be monitored closely, with a priority and focus on safety.

Signet’s sales grew 9.5% during the third quarter of Fiscal 2021 compared to the prior comparable quarter, reflecting a combination of factors including the continued traction of Signet's Path to Brilliance strategies, the Company's ability to capture pent up demand from the second quarter, as well as intentional marketing and promotional efforts to drive early holiday demand, helping to mitigate traditionally high traffic days. Higher conversion rates and transaction values, both online and in-store, also helped to drive overall sales performance during the third quarter. It is not clear what the full extent of the COVID-19 impacts will have on the Company’s business during the fourth quarter or longer term; however, the Company expects that sales during the Holiday Season could be negatively impacted as a result of weaker retail store traffic trends, COVID-19 social distancing capacity constraints, and further temporary store closures due to virus trends.
During Fiscal 2021, the Company has also taken numerous actions to maximize its financial flexibility, bolster its cash position and reduce operating expenditures, both strategically and as temporary measures as a result of COVID-19. Refer to Liquidity and Capital Resources section below.
Non-GAAP Measures
Signet provides certain non-GAAP information in reporting its financial results to give investors additional data to evaluate its operations. 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. For these reasons, internal management reporting also includes non-GAAP measures. Items may be excluded from GAAP financial measures when the Company believes this provides greater clarity to management and investors.
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 the Company’s 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.
1. Net cash (debt)
Net cash (debt) is the total of cash and cash equivalents less loans, overdrafts and long-term debt. Management considers this metric to be helpful in understanding the total indebtedness of the Company after consideration of liquidity available from cash balances on-hand.

Net cash (debt) | $ | 292.8 |  |  | $ | (237.0) |  |  | $ | (605.2) |

2. Free cash flow
Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure defined as the net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment. Management considers this 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 and determining appropriate capital allocation strategies. Free cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures.

3. Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure defined as earnings before interest and income taxes (operating income), depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is an important indicator of operating performance as it excludes the effects of financing and investing activities by eliminating the effects of interest, depreciation and amortization costs. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure which further excludes the impact of significant and unusual items which management believes are not necessarily reflective of operational performance during a period. Management believes these financial measures enhance investors’ ability to analyze trends in the business and evaluate performance relative to other companies. Management also utilizes these metrics to evaluate its current credit profile, which is a view consistent with rating agency methodologies.

4. Non-GAAP operating income (loss)
Non-GAAP operating income (loss) is a non-GAAP measure defined as operating income (loss) excluding the impact of significant and unusual items which management believes are not necessarily reflective of 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 significant and unusual items. In particular, management believes the consideration of measures that exclude such expenses can assist in the comparison of operational performance in different periods which may or may not include such expenses.

Signet's total sales increased 9.5% to $1.30 billion in the 13 weeks ended October 31, 2020 compared to the prior year quarter. Total sales at constant exchange rates increased 9.0%. Signet’s same store sales increased 15.1%, compared to an increase of 2.1% in the prior year quarter.

Table of Contents
This growth reflects a combination of factors including the continued traction of Signet's Path to Brilliance strategies, the Company's ability to capture pent up demand from the second quarter, as well as intentional marketing and promotional efforts to drive early holiday demand, helping to mitigate traditionally high traffic days. Sales were unfavorably impacted by permanent store closures of $59 million during the third quarter.
eCommerce sales in the third quarter were $238.8 million, up $99.5 million or 71.4%, compared to $139.3 million in the prior year quarter. eCommerce sales accounted for 18.4% of third quarter sales, up from 11.7% of total sales in the prior year third quarter. Brick and mortar same store sales increase 6.8% from prior year third quarter.
The increase in eCommerce sales reflects the accelerated enhancement of eCommerce capabilities and a digital first focus during the third quarter. The brick and mortar sales increase was primarily the result of new product launches and expanded customization options during the third quarter of Fiscal 2021. The Company began reopening stores in May 2020 and as of the end of the third quarter of Fiscal 2021, substantially all of the Company’s brick and mortar stores had resumed in-person operations.

North America sales
The North America segment’s total sales were $2.79 billion compared to $3.61 billion in the prior year, down 22.8%. Same store sales decreased 20.2% compared to an increase of 0.2% in the prior year. North America’s ATV decreased (1.3)%, while the number of transactions decreased 18.9%. The declines noted reflect the impact of the temporary closures of all North America stores beginning on March 23, 2020, as a result of COVID-19, which began reopening in May 2020 as noted above. The decline in sales also reflects the impact of permanent store closures of approximately $119 million.
eCommerce sales increased 49.1%, while brick and mortar same store sales decreased 29.8%.
International sales
The International segment’s total sales decreased 29.8% to $232.8 million compared to $331.8 million in the prior year and decreased 29.9% at constant exchange rates. Same store sales decreased 23.1% compared to a decrease of 5.8% in the prior year. The ATV increased 11.3% over prior year, while the number of transactions decreased 30.8%.

Cost of sales and gross margin
In the third quarter of Fiscal 2021, gross margin was $434.5 million or 33.4% of sales compared to $367.7 million or 31.0% of sales in the prior year comparable period. In the 39 weeks ended October 31, 2020, gross margin was $863.0 million or 28.4% of sales compared to $1,325.8 million or 33.3% of sales in the prior year comparable period. The increase in gross margin rate for the third quarter of Fiscal 2021, compared to prior year quarter, was primarily driven by higher sales volume driving better leverage on fixed costs, as well as the favorable impact of costs savings initiatives, primarily related to lower store occupancy costs.
43

Table of Contents
The decline in gross margin rate for the 39 weeks ended October 31, 2020, compared to prior year, was primarily driven by a reduction in service revenue recognition relating to warranties while stores were temporarily closed, as well as lower sales resulting from the temporary store closures stemming from COVID-19, which led to a deleveraging on fixed store occupancy costs. The rate decline was partially offset through transformation cost savings, driven primarily by lower occupancy costs lower inventory related costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”)
In the third quarter of Fiscal 2021, SG&A was $389.3 million or 29.9% of sales compared to $398.4 million or 33.5% of sales in prior year quarter. SG&A decreased primarily due to lower staff costs, inclusive of closed stores, and the benefits of transformation cost savings, offset by higher advertising expense, incentive compensation, and the provision for credit losses (see Note 11 for further information).
In the 39 weeks ended October 31, 2020, SG&A was $1,013.6 million or 33.3% compared to $1,285.0 million or 32.3% of sales in the prior year comparable period. SG&A decreased primarily due to lower staff costs, inclusive of closed stores, and the impact of furloughed store and support center employees as a result of the COVID-19 disruption to the business. SG&A in Fiscal 2021 also reflects lower advertising expenses and the benefits of transformation cost savings, offset by the provision for credit losses (see Note 11 for further information).
Restructuring charges
During the first quarter of Fiscal 2019, Signet launched a three-year comprehensive transformation plan, called “Signet Path to Brilliance” (the “Plan”), to, among other objectives, reposition the Company to be a share gaining, OmniChannel jewelry category leader. Restructuring charges of $3.6 million and $9.2 million were recognized in the 13 weeks ended October 31, 2020 and November 2, 2019, respectively, primarily related to store closures, severance costs, and professional fees for legal and consulting services related to the Plan.
Restructuring charges of $45.2 million and $59.4 million were recognized in the 39 weeks ended October 31, 2020 and November 2, 2019, respectively, primarily related to store closures, severance costs, and professional fees for legal and consulting services related to the Plan. See Note 5 for additional information.
Asset impairments
During the third quarter of Fiscal 2021, the Company recorded non-cash, pre-tax asset impairment charges of $1.5 million, all of which related to long-lived assets. For the 39 weeks ended October 31, 2020, the Company recorded charges related to the impairment of goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets of $10.7 million, $83.3 million and $64.1 million, respectively. See Notes 13 and 15 for additional information on the asset impairments.
In addition, during the 39 weeks ended August 3, 2019, a non-cash immaterial out-of-period adjustment of $47.7 million, with $35.2 million related to Zales goodwill and $12.5 million related to R2Net goodwill, was recognized within asset impairments on the condensed consolidated statements of operations related to an error in the calculation of goodwill impairments during Fiscal 2019.
Other operating income (loss)
During the 39 weeks ended October 31, 2020, other operating income (loss) was $4.3 million primarily driven by the gains recognized as a result of the Company liquidating derivative financial instruments primarily related to forecasted commodity purchases that were deemed no longer effective in light of the economic circumstances altered by COVID-19. These gains were offset by a charge of $7.5 million, net of insurance recoveries, related to the settlement of previously disclosed shareholder litigation matters. See Note 16 and Note 21 for additional information on these matters.
Operating income (loss)
In the third quarter of Fiscal 2021, operating income (loss) was $39.7 million or 3.1% of sales, compared to $(39.9) million or (3.4)% of sales in the prior year third quarter. These results reflected the Company's ability to capture pent up demand from the second quarter, as well as intentional marketing and promotional efforts to drive early holiday demand, helping to mitigate traditionally high traffic days. Additionally, operating income (loss) was favorably impacted by transformation cost savings, inclusive of closed stores year over year, offset by higher advertising and incentive compensation.

Interest expense, net
In the 13 and 39 weeks ended October 31, 2020, net interest expense was $9.1 million and $25.6 million, respectively, compared to $8.6 million and $27.9 million in the 13 and 39 weeks ended November 2, 2019, respectively. During the third quarter of Fiscal 2021, the increase is primarily due to higher average borrowings compared to prior year quarter.
During the 39 weeks ended October 31, 2020, the reduction is primarily due to the favorable impact of lower average interest rates due to the debt refinancing during the third quarter of Fiscal 2020 partially offset by higher average borrowings compared to prior year comparable periods.
Other non-operating income, net
In the third quarter of Fiscal 2021, other non-operating income, net, was $0 million compared to $7.0 million in the prior third quarter. The third quarter of Fiscal 2020 reflects a $6.7 million net gain related to the completion of the Company’s debt refinancing, which consists of an $8.7 million net gain on the early extinguishment of senior notes, partially offset by a $2.0 million write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the termination of the Company’s prior Credit Facility. See Note 18 for additional information.
Income taxes
In the third quarter of Fiscal 2021, the income tax expense was $21.3 million, an effective tax rate (“ETR”) of 69.6%, compared to the income tax benefit of $6.0 million, an ETR of 14.5% in the prior year comparable period. The ETR for the 13 weeks ended October 31, 2020, was unfavorably impacted by the reduction in the anticipated benefit of the CARES Act for the rate benefit of the net operating losses incurred in Fiscal 2021 to be carried back to tax years with higher enacted tax rates and increase in valuation allowance recorded against certain US and state deferred tax assets. The Company’s effective tax rate for the same period during the prior year was unfavorably impacted by the non-tax deductible goodwill impairment charge recognized in the prior year.

Table of Contents
In the year to date period of Fiscal 2021, the income tax benefit was $105.4 million, an ETR of 28.1%, compared to income tax benefit of $3.7 million, an ETR of 4.3% in the prior year comparable period. The increase in the ETR is primarily due to the anticipated benefit of $97.4 million relating to the CARES Act offset by the unfavorable impact of the valuation allowance recorded against certain US and state deferred tax assets of $66.9 million and the impairment of goodwill which was not deductible for tax purposes. The year to date ETR in the prior year comparable period was also impacted by the anticipated annual mix of pre-tax income by jurisdiction and the unfavorable impact of non-tax deductible goodwill impairment recognized in the prior year. Refer to Note 10 for additional information.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Overview
The Company’s primary sources of liquidity are cash on hand, cash provided by operations and availability under its ABL Revolving Facility (defined below). As of October 31, 2020, the Company had $1,332.6 million of cash and cash equivalents and $1,041.2 million of outstanding debt.
During Fiscal 2021, the Company has accelerated its transformation efforts and focused on prioritizing digital investments in both technology and talent, to enhance its new and modernized eCommerce platform and to optimize the OmniChannel shopping journey for its customers. This includes flexible fulfillment capabilities which unlock store level inventory and enable buy online pick up in-store, as well as a continued strategic focus on inventory management to align with customer preferences. The Company’s cash discipline has also led to more efficient working capital, through both the extension of payment terms with the Company’s vendor base, as well through continued inventory reduction efforts. In addition, structural cost reductions during Fiscal 2021 under the Company’s transformation strategy are expected to result in at least $100 million of annual cost savings that will be used to fuel strategic investments and enhance liquidity.
In addition to its strategic initiatives, as a result of COVID-19 in Fiscal 2021, the Company took temporary actions to preserve liquidity, which included reduced overall capital expenditures, significant reductions to discretionary spend, the implementation of temporary reduced work hours and furloughs across store and support center teams, as well as reduced cash compensation for executives and the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company also temporarily suspended its common dividend program and has paid its preferred dividends during each quarter of Fiscal 2021 “in-kind”.
As a prudent measure to increase the Company’s financial flexibility and bolster its cash position, during the first quarter of Fiscal 2021, the Company elected to access an additional $900 million on the ABL Revolving Facility. The Company paid down $300 million of the ABL Revolving Facility during the 13 weeks ended October 31, 2020, as well paid down an additional $190 million in November 2020.
If the excess availability under the ABL Revolving Facility falls below the threshold specified in the ABL Facility agreement, the Company will be required to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.00 to 1.00. As of October 31, 2020, the threshold related to the fixed coverage ratio was approximately $132 million. The ABL Facility places certain restrictions upon the Company’s ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends, grant liens and make certain loans, investments and divestitures. The ABL Facility contains customary events of default (including payment defaults, cross-defaults to certain of our other indebtedness, breach of representations and covenants and change of control). The occurrence of an event of default under the ABL Facility would permit the lenders to accelerate the indebtedness and terminate the ABL Facility.
The Company believes that cash on hand, cash flows from operations and available borrowings under the ABL Revolving Facility will be sufficient to meet its ongoing business requirements, including funding working capital needs, projected investments (including capital expenditures) and debt service.
Primary sources and uses of operating cash flows
Operating activities provide the primary source of cash for the Company and are influenced by a number of factors, the most significant of which are operating income and changes in working capital items, such as:
•changes in the level of inventory as a result of sales and other strategic initiatives (i.e. store count);
•changes and timing of accounts payable and accrued expenses, including variable compensation; and
•changes in deferred revenue, reflective of the revenue from performance of extended service plans.
Signet derives most of its operating cash flows through the sale of merchandise and extended service plans. As a retail business, Signet receives cash when it makes a sale to a customer or when the payment has been processed by Signet or the relevant bank if the payment is made by third-party credit or debit card. As further discussed in Note 11, the Company has outsourced its prime credit portfolio and a substantial portion of its non-prime credit portfolio, and it receives cash from its outsourced financing partners (net of

applicable fees) within two days of the customer sale. Offsetting these receipts, the Company’s largest operating expenses are the purchase of inventory, store occupancy costs (including rent), and payroll and payroll-related benefits.

Operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $606.7 million compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $113.5 million in the prior year comparable period, primarily due to the Company’s ongoing cost control and working capital management initiatives, as well as temporary measures in place to manage liquidity as a result of the impacts of COVID-19, offset by the impacts of the pandemic on the Company’s operating results.
•Net loss was $269.5 million compared to net loss of $81.6 million in the prior year period, an increase of $187.9 million.
•Net loss for the period was significantly impacted by changes in deferred tax liabilities, which increased $149.1 million compared to a decrease of $0.4 million in the prior year period offset by changes in current income taxes of $99.7 million compared to $7.6 million in the prior year. This was primarily the result of the net operating loss carried back and filed in the first quarter in accordance with the provisions of the CARES Act, offset by an increase in the valuation allowance related to certain deferred tax assets in the US. During the third quarter of Fiscal 2021, the Company collected approximately $164 million related to loss carryback filed earlier in the year under the CARES Act. Refer to Note 10.
•Non-cash impairment charges were $158.1 million compared to $47.7 million in the prior year period. See Note 13 for additional information regarding asset impairments.
•Cash provided by other assets and other receivables was $188.2 million, compared to $4.0 million in the prior year period, and was driven primarily by the collection of insurance proceeds related to the shareholder litigation settlement described in Note 21. Offsetting these cash proceeds was the payment of the settlement amount during the second quarter, which resulted in cash used by accrued expenses and other liabilities of $192.5 million in Fiscal 2021 compared to $30.5 million in the prior year.
•Cash provided by inventory was $151.1 million compared to cash used of $133.0 million in the prior year period. This increase was driven by the Company’s continued inventory reduction initiatives and the lower store count of 315 stores compared to prior year-end.
•Cash provided by accounts payable was $325.2 million compared to cash provided of $183.7 million in the prior year period. This increase was driven by the Company’s aggressive working capital management initiatives throughout Fiscal 2021, including the extension of payment terms with numerous vendors during the year.
•Cash provided by changes in operating leases was $43.9 million in Fiscal 2021, compared to cash used of $8.0 million in the prior year period, driven by the Company’s deferral of rent payments due in the months of April through July 2020, which are now expected to be paid primarily in early Fiscal 2022. See Note 14 for further information.
Forward-Flow Receivables Outsourcing Agreement with Investors
In conjunction with the sale of the majority of Signet’s non-prime in-house accounts receivable to CarVal and Castlelake (collectively, the “Investors”), beginning in June 2018, the Investors began purchasing the majority of forward flow receivables of Signet’s non-prime credit from Signet for a five-year term. In Fiscal 2020, those forward flow receivables represented approximately 7% of
48

Table of Contents
Signet’s revenue. During Fiscal 2021, the 2018 agreements pertaining to the purchase of forward flow receivables were terminated and new agreements were executed with both Investors which will remain effective until June 2021, unless terminated earlier by either party pursuant to the terms of respective agreements. The new agreements provide that the Investors will continue to purchase add-on receivables created on existing customer accounts at a discount rate determined in accordance with the new agreements. Signet will retain forward flow non-prime receivables created for new customers, which are expected to represent less than 2.5% of Signet’s Fiscal 2021 revenue. The termination of the previous agreements has no effect on the receivables that were previously sold to the Investors prior to the termination, except that Signet agreed to extend the Investors’ payment obligation for the remaining 5% of the receivables previously purchased in June 2018 until the new agreements terminate. The Company’s agreement with the credit servicer Genesis Financial Solutions remains in place.
Investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities in the 39 weeks ended October 31, 2020 was $37.7 million compared to net cash used in investing activities of $99.9 million in the prior period. Cash used in Fiscal 2021 was primarily related to strategic capital investments in digital and IT, compared to Fiscal 2020 which related primarily to capital expenditures associated with new stores, remodels of existing stores, and capital investments in IT.
Stores opened and closed in the 39 weeks ended October 31, 2020:

Store count by segment | February 1, 2020 |  | Openings |  | Closures |  | October 31, 2020
North America segment(1) | 2,757 |  | 1 |  | (219) |  | 2,539
International segment(1) | 451 |  | — |  | (97) |  | 354
Signet | 3,208 |  | 1 |  | (316) |  | 2,893

(1) The net change in selling square footage for Fiscal 2021 year to date for the North America and International segments was (6.4%) and (14.0%), respectively.
Financing activities
Net cash provided by financing activities in the 39 weeks ended October 31, 2020 was $395.1 million, comprised primarily of net borrowings of $435.8 million, partially offset by $27.1 million for dividend payments on common and preferred shares. The reduction in cash payments for dividends in the current year was the result of the Company’s cash management efforts described above. See further information on debt movements below.
Net cash used in financing activities in the 39 weeks ended November 2, 2019 was $15.5 million, comprised primarily of $81.4 million for dividend payments on common and preferred shares, partially offset by net borrowings of $72.2 million. See further information on debt movements below.
Movement in cash and indebtedness
Cash and cash equivalents at October 31, 2020 were $1,332.6 million compared to $188.6 million as of November 2, 2019. Signet has cash and cash equivalents invested in various ‘AAA’ rated government money market funds and at a number of large, highly rated financial institutions. The amount invested in each liquidity fund or at each financial institution takes into account the credit rating and size of the liquidity fund or financial institution and is invested for short-term durations.
At October 31, 2020, Signet had $1,041.2 million of outstanding debt, comprised of $147.6 million of Senior Notes, $790.0 million on the ABL Revolving Facility, $100.0 million on the FILO Term Loan Facility, and $3.6 million of other loans and bank overdrafts. On March 19, 2020, as a prudent measure in response to COVID-19 to increase the Company’s financial flexibility and bolster its cash position, the Company elected to access $900 million on the $1.5 billion ABL Revolving Facility. The Company repaid $300 million on the ABL Revolving Facility during the 13 weeks ended October 31, 2020, and paid down an additional $190 million during November 2020.
At November 2, 2019, Signet had $795.5 million of outstanding debt, comprised of $147.5 million of Senior Notes, $543.0 million on the ABL Revolving Facility, $100.0 million on the FILO Term Loan Facility on a term loan facility and $5.0 million of bank overdrafts. On September 27, 2019, in connection with the issuance of the ABL Facility, the Company repaid and terminated the Credit Facility. On September 5, 2019, Signet UK Finance announced the commencement of the Tender Offer. An aggregate principal amount of $239.6 million, which represented a purchase price of $950.00 per $1,000.00 in principal amount of the Senior Notes, were validly tendered. See Note 18 for more details.
The Company had stand-by letters of credit outstanding of $16.6 million as of October 31, 2020 that reduces borrowing capacity under the ABL Revolving Facility.

Net cash was $292.8 million as of October 31, 2020 compared to net debt of $605.2 million as of November 2, 2019. Refer to the non-GAAP measures discussed above for the definition of net cash (debt) and reconciliation to its most comparable financial measure presented in accordance with GAAP.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
Signet’s contractual obligations and commitments as of October 31, 2020 and the effects such obligations and commitments are expected to have on Signet’s liquidity and cash flows in future periods have not changed materially outside the ordinary course from those disclosed in Signet’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 1, 2020 filed with the SEC on March 26, 2020.
SEASONALITY
Signet’s business is seasonal, with the fourth quarter accounting for approximately 35-40% of annual sales as well as accounts for a substantial portion of the annual operating profit. The “Holiday Season” consists of results for the months of November and December, with December being the highest volume month of the year.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its accounting policies, estimates and judgments, including those related to the valuation of accounts receivables, inventories, deferred revenue, derivatives, employee benefits, income taxes, contingencies, asset impairments, leases, indefinite-lived intangible assets, depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets and accounting for business combinations. Management bases the estimates and judgments on historical experience and various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates. There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in Signet’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2020 filed with the SEC on March 26, 2020, except as noted below:
Long-lived assets
Long-lived assets of the Company consist primarily of property, plant and equipment and operating lease right-of-use (ROU) assets. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Potentially impaired assets or asset groups are identified by reviewing the undiscounted cash flows of individual stores. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the store asset group, based on the Company’s internal business plans. If the undiscounted cash flow for the store asset group is less than its carrying amount, the long-lived assets are measured for potential impairment by estimating the fair value of the assets in the group, and recording an impairment loss for the amount that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value. The Company utilizes primarily the replacement cost method to estimate the fair value of its property and equipment, and the income capitalization method to estimate the fair value of its ROU assets, which incorporates historical store level sales, internal business plans, real estate market capitalization and rental rates, and discount rates.
The valuation of the Company’s long-lived assets could be negatively impacted by unfavorable operating performance and cash flows of the Company’s stores, including a slower than anticipated re-opening of the stores, lower than anticipated consumer traffic, changes in the Company’s real estate strategy or other key business initiatives. Key assumptions used to estimate fair value, such as sales trends, market capitalization and rental rates, and discount rates could impact the fair value estimates of the store assets in future periods.
SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The Company and certain of its subsidiaries, which are listed on Exhibit 22.1 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, have guaranteed obligations under the 4.70% senior unsecured notes due in 2024 (the “Senior Notes”).
The Senior Notes were issued by Signet UK Finance plc (the “Issuer”). The Senior Notes rank senior to the Preferred Shares (as defined in Note 6) and Common Shares. The Senior Notes are effectively subordinated to our existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the assets securing that indebtedness. The Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by the Company, as the parent entity ( the “Parent”) of the Issuer, and certain of its subsidiary guarantors (each, a “Guarantor” and collectively, the “Guarantors”).
The Senior Notes are structurally subordinated to all existing and future debt and other liabilities, including trade payables, of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Senior Notes (the “Non-Guarantors”). The Non-Guarantors will have no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to pay amounts due under the Senior Notes or to make funds available to pay those amounts. Certain Non-Guarantors
50

Table of Contents
may be limited in their ability to remit funds to us by means of dividends, advances or loans due to required foreign government and/or currency exchange board approvals or limitations in credit agreements or other debt instruments of those subsidiaries.
The Guarantors jointly and severally irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee on a senior unsecured basis the performance and full and punctual payment when due of all obligations of Issuer, as defined in the Indenture, in accordance with the Senior Notes and the related Indentures, as supplemented, whether for payment of principal of or interest on the Senior Notes when due and any and all costs and expenses incurred by the trustee or any holder of the Senior Notes in enforcing any rights under the guarantees (collectively, the “Guarantees”). The Guarantees and Guarantors are subject to release in limited circumstances only upon the occurrence of certain customary conditions.
Although the Guarantees provide the holders of Senior Notes with a direct unsecured claim against the assets of the Guarantors, under U.S. federal bankruptcy law and comparable provisions of U.S. state fraudulent transfer laws, in certain circumstances a court could cancel a Guarantee and order the return of any payments made thereunder to the Guarantor or to a fund for the benefit of its creditors.
A court might take these actions if it found, among other things, that when the Guarantors incurred the debt evidenced by their Guarantee (i) they received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for the incurrence of the debt and (ii) any one of the following conditions was satisfied:
•the Guarantor entity was insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of the incurrence;
•the Guarantor entity was engaged in a business or transaction for which its remaining assets constituted unreasonably small capital; or
•the Guarantor entity intended to incur or believed (or reasonably should have believed) that it would incur, debts beyond its ability to pay as those debts matured.
In applying the above factors, a court would likely find that a Guarantor did not receive fair consideration or reasonably equivalent value for its Guarantee, except to the extent that it benefited directly or indirectly from the issuance of the Senior Notes. The determination of whether a Guarantor was or was not rendered insolvent when it entered into its Guarantee will vary depending on the law of the jurisdiction being applied. Generally, an entity would be considered insolvent if the sum of its debts (including contingent or unliquidated debts) is greater than all of its assets at a fair valuation or if the present fair salable value of its assets is less than the amount that will be required to pay its probable liability on its existing debts, including contingent or unliquidated debts, as they mature.
If a court canceled a Guarantee, the holders of the Senior Notes would no longer have a claim against that Guarantor or its assets.
Each Guarantee is limited, by its terms, to an amount not to exceed the maximum amount that can be guaranteed by the applicable Guarantor without rendering the Guarantee, as it relates to that Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.
Each Guarantor is a consolidated subsidiary of Parent at the date of each balance sheet presented. The following tables present summarized financial information for Parent, Issuer, and the Guarantors on a combined basis after elimination of (i) intercompany transactions and balances among Parent, Issuer, and the Guarantors and (ii) equity in earnings from and investments in any Non-Guarantor.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Signet is exposed to market risk from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and precious metal prices, which could affect its consolidated financial position, earnings and cash flows. Signet manages its exposure to market risk through its regular operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. Signet uses derivative financial instruments as risk management tools and not for trading purposes.
As certain of the International segment’s purchases are denominated in US dollars and its net cash flows are in British pounds, Signet’s policy is to enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign currency swaps to manage the exposure to the US dollar. Signet also hedges a significant portion of forecasted merchandise purchases using commodity forward contracts. Additionally, the North America segment occasionally enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to manage the currency fluctuations associated with purchases for our Canadian operations. These contracts are entered into with large, reputable financial institutions, thereby minimizing the credit exposure from our counterparties.
Signet has significant amounts of cash and cash equivalents invested in various ‘AAA’ rated government money market funds and at a number of large, highly rated financial institutions. The amount invested in each liquidity fund or at each financial institution takes into account the credit rating and size of the liquidity fund or financial institution and is invested for short-term durations.
Signet’s market risk profile as of October 31, 2020 has not materially changed since February 1, 2020. The market risk profile as of February 1, 2020 is disclosed in Signet’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 26, 2020.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act, as amended. Based on this review, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of October 31, 2020.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended October 31, 2020, the Company implemented a new enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system. The new ERP system replaced certain legacy systems in which a significant portion of the Company’s business transactions originated, were processed, or were recorded. The new ERP system is intended to provide management with enhanced transactional processing, security and management tools and is an important component of the Company’s system of disclosure controls and procedures. Except for the implementation of the ERP system, during the quarter ended October 31, 2020, there were no other changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Information regarding legal proceedings is incorporated by reference from Note 21 of the Financial Statements set forth in Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The Company is supplementing the risk factors previously disclosed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 1, 2020 with the following risk factor, which should be read in conjunction with the other risk factors presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2020 that was filed with the SEC on March 26, 2020.
The outbreak of COVID-19 has had a significant adverse impact on the Company’s business to date in Fiscal 2021, and this outbreak, as well as other public health crises or disease outbreaks, epidemics or pandemics, has and could continue to adversely impact Signet’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and has or could exacerbate other risk factors.
A public health crisis or disease outbreak, epidemic or pandemic, such as COVID-19, or the threat or fear of such event, has been and could continue to adversely impact the Company’s business. COVID-19 has significantly impacted consumer traffic and the Company’s retail sales, based on the perceived public health risk and government imposed quarantines and restrictions of public gatherings and commercial activity to contain spread of the virus. Effective March 23, 2020, the Company temporarily closed all of its stores in North America, its diamond operations in New York and its support centers in the United States, and effective March 24, 2020, temporarily closed all of its stores in the UK. The growth in our eCommerce business was disrupted to some extent by the shutdown of the New York diamond operations. There is no guarantee that our eCommerce business will not be further impacted if the recent economic downturn continues or deteriorates further due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and additional federal or state mandates ordering the shutdown of additional non-essential businesses. Further, we have and may continue to record non-cash asset impairment charges, which may affect our operating results under US GAAP.
While we have re-opened our stores consistent with government guidelines, in connection with the widespread protests across the country and out of concern for the well-being of its customers and employees, the Company made the decision to temporarily close a small percentage of its stores throughout the year, and a resumption of widespread protesting could result in similar impacts to the Company’s operations. Additionally, there is significant uncertainty around our customers’ willingness to visit retail stores even after they are reopened. Social distancing protocols, government mandated occupancy limitations, modification to store hours and general consumer behaviors due to COVID-19 may continue to negatively impact store traffic and Company sales. Such negative impacts may be exacerbated during peak traffic times such as the Holiday shopping season. Further, while we have implemented strict safety protocols in stores that we have re-opened, there is no guarantee that such protocols will be effective or be perceived as effective, and any virus-related illnesses linked or alleged to be linked to our stores, whether accurate or not, may negatively affect our reputation, operating results and/or financial condition. The COVID-19 pandemic also has disrupted the Company’s global supply chain, and may cause additional disruptions to operations, including increased costs of production and distribution. In addition, there could be further adverse impacts if employees of the Company become sick, continue to be quarantined, or are otherwise limited in their ability to work at Company locations or travel. The Company may experience increased operational challenges due to the implementation of work from home policies for both office employees and store employees whose stores are temporarily closed. Remote working arrangements may increase risks associated with the Company’s information systems such as the risk of cybersecurity incidents or system failures, which could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business.
The uncertainty around the duration of business disruptions, the possibility of additional periods of increases or spikes in the number of COVID-19 cases; pace of the recovery when the pandemic subsides; whether a vaccine or a cure that mitigates the effect of the virus will be synthesized and, if so, when such vaccine or cure will be ready for public use; and the extent of the spread of the virus in the United States and to other areas of the world, could continue to adversely impact the national or global economy and negatively impact consumer spending, particularly discretionary spending, and our stock price. Any of these outcomes could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, operating results, our level of indebtedness and covenant compliance, our ability to raise additional capital, our ability to execute our business plans, our access to and cost of financing, our lease obligations and relationships with our landlords, asset impairments, and our ability to execute and capitalize on our strategies. The full extent of COVID-19 on the Company’s operations, financial performance, and liquidity, depends on future developments that are uncertain and unpredictable, including the duration and spread of the pandemic, its impact on capital and financial markets on a macro-scale and any new information that may emerge concerning the severity of the virus, its spread to other regions and the actions to contain the virus or treat its impact, among others.

Table of Contents
To the extent that COVID-19 has affected and continues to adversely affect the U.S. and global economy, our business, results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition, it has heightened, and may continue to heighten, other risks described in the “Risk Factors” section in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 1, 2020.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
