Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] |
Derivatives | 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 only risk that the Company is currently utilizing financial derivatives to mitigate is foreign currency risk. Signet does not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes. The following types of derivative financial instruments are utilized by Signet to mitigate certain risk exposures related to changes in 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. The total notional amount of these foreign currency contracts outstanding as of July 29, 2023 was $24.0 million (January 28, 2023 and July 30, 2022: $25.9 million and $20.9 million, respectively). These contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges and will be settled over the next 11 months (January 28, 2023 and July 30, 2022: 12 months and 12 months, respectively). The fair value of outstanding contracts as well as related activity were not material for the periods presented. There were no discontinued cash flow hedges during the 26 weeks ended July 29, 2023 and July 30, 2022 as all forecasted transactions are expected to occur as originally planned. As of July 29, 2023, based on current valuations, the Company expects approximately $1.0 million of net pre-tax derivative losses to be reclassified out of AOCI into earnings within the next 12 months. 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 July 29, 2023 was $35.5 million (January 28, 2023 and July 30, 2022: $27.3 million and $93.7 million, respectively). The Company recognizes activity related to these derivative instruments within other operating income (expense) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Gains were $0.7 million and $0.5 million during the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 29, 2023, respectively, and losses were $2.4 million and $7.2 million during the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 30, 2022, 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 July 29, 2023, Signet believes that this credit risk did not materially change the fair value of the foreign currency contracts.
