Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Organization and Principal Accounting Policies | 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 primarily consists of subsidiaries involved in the purchasing and conversion of rough diamonds to polished stones. See Note 5 for additional discussion of the Company’s reportable segments. Signet’s business is seasonal, with the fourth quarter historically accounting for approximately 35-40% of annual sales as well as accounts for a substantial portion of the annual operating profit. Risks and Uncertainties - COVID-19 In December 2019, a novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was identified in Wuhan, China. During Fiscal 2021, the Company experienced significant disruption to its business, specifically in its retail store operations through temporary closures during the first half of the year. By the end of the third quarter of Fiscal 2021, the Company had re-opened substantially all of its stores. However, during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2021, both the UK and certain Canadian provinces re-established mandated temporary closure of non-essential businesses. The UK stores began to reopen in April 2021, while the Canadian stores began reopening in the second quarter of Fiscal 2022. The full extent and duration of the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s operations and financial performance remains unknown and depends on future developments that are uncertain and unpredictable, including the duration and possible resurgence of COVID-19 (including through variants), the success of the vaccine rollout globally, its impact on the Company’s global supply chain, and the uncertainty of customer behavior and potential shifts in discretionary spending. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 on its business, results of operations and cash flows throughout Fiscal 2023, including the potential impacts on various estimates and assumptions inherent in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements. 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. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Signet has reclassified certain prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation. 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 January 29, 2022 filed with the SEC on March 17, 2022. 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 periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and assumptions are primarily made in relation to the valuation of 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 2023 and Fiscal 2022 refer to the 52 week periods ending January 28, 2023 and ended January 29, 2022, respectively. Within these condensed consolidated financial statements, the second quarter and year to date period of the relevant fiscal years 2023 and 2022 refer to the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021, 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. Investment in Sasmat During the 13 weeks ended July 30, 2022, the Company acquired a 25% interest in Sasmat Retail, S.L (“Sasmat”) for $17.1 million in cash. Sasmat is a Spanish jewelry retailer specializing in online selling, with two brick and mortar locations. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company has the option to acquire the remaining 75% of Sasmat exercisable at the earlier of three years or upon Sasmat reaching certain revenue targets as defined in the agreement. The Company is applying the equity method of accounting to the Sasmat investment. The Sasmat investment was recorded within other noncurrent assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of July 30, 2022. The Sasmat investment did not have a material impact to Signet’s condensed consolidated statement of operations for the second quarter of Fiscal 2023.
