PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
PURPOSE & STRATEGY
Signet’s Purpose is Inspiring Love, with the mission to enable individuals to “Celebrate Life and Express Love.” The Company's new vision, announced in Fiscal 2026, is to “Create an influential community of distinct jewelry brands, designs, and experiences for every significant milestone, every special moment, every expression of self, every kind of love, every day.” Signet aims to lead innovation and market share in the jewelry category, expanding its market presence and achieving profitable growth by fostering brand loyalty through emotional and engaging customer connections while fully leveraging scale benefits.
Signet introduced the Grow Brand Love strategy in Fiscal 2026. This transformative approach focuses on accelerating growth and builds on the Company’s strong core foundation to create shareholder value. Grow Brand Love emphasizes style and product innovation, captivating experiences, and brand loyalty while harnessing centralized core capabilities. This strategic framework revolves around three imperatives: Shifting from Banners to Brand Mindset; Growing our Core Business and Expanding to Adjacent Categories; and Organizational Realignment to Accelerate Strategy Execution. Grow Brand Love positions Signet for balanced and sustainable organic growth to drive shareholder value.
Below is a summary of the goals within each of the three strategic imperatives under Grow Brand Love:
Shifting from Banners to Brand Mindset aims to leverage the strong brand recognition of Signet’s businesses, focusing on experiences, designs, and collaborations to drive emotional connections rather than primarily relying on promotion. Merchandising will use in-house design, trend capabilities, and strategic vendors to differentiate by brand and increase speed-to-market. This strategy emphasizes style and innovation through our Brand ambassadors, supported by industry voices, designers and the creator community.
Aligned with our go-to-market strategies, we will create a captivating and modern shopping experience for our customers. The focus will be on reflecting each Brand identity through new store designs, product innovation, and leveraging eCommerce for storytelling of style introductions. Additionally, we will realign our real estate footprint to support each Brand proposition and modernize stores through capital improvements. Our real estate strategy includes refreshing existing stores, closing underperforming locations, maximizing transference and repositioning from declining venues to off-mall sites.
Growing our Core Business and Expanding to Adjacent Categories focuses on increasing market share in core areas such as Bridal, where Signet currently holds a leading market share position in the US, while expanding into categories like self-purchase and gifting. Our goal is to further increase our Bridal share through strategic assortment, pricing architecture, and modern design enhancements. We plan to expand into adjacent categories such as fashion and gifting, targeting the rapidly growing everyday jewelry market where we currently have a low single-digit share. Expanding these adjacencies will attract consumers from multiple entry points across our portfolio.
Organizational Realignment to Accelerate Strategy Execution involves restructuring to streamline operations, increase efficiencies, improve accountability and reduce costs. This new operating model supports future growth by speeding up decision making and enabling new go-to-market strategies. Actions include:
•Simplifying and Aligning the Portfolio of Signet’s Brands to focus on customer needs in four distinct customer families:
◦Core Milestone & Romantic Gifting Jewelry: Kay and Peoples
◦Style & Trend: Zales and Banter

Competition and Signet’s Competitive Strengths
Jewelry retailing is highly fragmented and competitive. Signet competes against other specialty jewelers, as well as other retailers that sell jewelry, including department stores, mass merchandisers, discount stores, apparel and accessory fashion stores, brand retailers, online retail and auction sites, shopping clubs, home shopping television channels and direct home sellers. The jewelry category competes for customers’ share-of-wallet with other consumer sectors such as electronics, clothing and furniture, as well as experience-oriented categories such as travel and restaurants. This competition for consumers’ discretionary spending is particularly relevant to gift giving.
In addition to the core strengths noted above, Signet believes its competitive advantages include strong awareness for each brand, superior customer experience, branded differentiated and exclusive merchandise, data-driven marketing and advertising, a diversified real estate portfolio, an efficient and flexible supply chain, a range of customer financing options, and services such as extended service plans, repair, custom design, and piercing, among others.
Signet’s Connected Commerce
Signet offers its customers a personalized and intimate shopping experience as a specialty jeweler, setting it apart from other retailers. Signet operates websites for each of its brands that serve as educational resources for customers seeking information on jewelry products and brands. Customers are able to invest time on these websites and social media to explore a range of merchandise, and often before visiting physical stores to make their purchase. Through our Voice of the Customer survey, over two-thirds of in-store buyers indicate that they also interact with our digital channels. These websites also offer customers the ability to purchase products online and have them delivered to their local store or home. Customers can filter product assortments by various delivery methods,

including quick ship, buy-online-pickup-in-store (“BOPIS”), and same-day delivery. The Signet brand websites continue to drive a modernized customer experience while contributing to each brand's marketing programs.
Connected Commerce Strategies
The Company has the following connected commerce strategies:
•Invest in technologies and digital capabilities to enhance the customer journey, including AI-driven conversational commerce and on-site search, virtual product try-ons, configuration capability, flexible payment options, jewelry-related services, personalization/behavioral targeting, creative execution, and brand differentiation.
•Prioritize customer-centric delivery options, including BOPIS, curbside pickup, same-day delivery and ship to UPS Access Points. The aim is to create a hassle-free customer experience, connecting websites and customers seamlessly. Approximately 30% of customers currently use these convenient and flexible delivery options. New this year is the use of artificial intelligence (“AI”) to estimate the delivery date for customers based on previous actual delivery data.
•Invest in virtual and in-store selling to make it easier and more enjoyable for customers to shop whenever and however they choose. In Fiscal 2025, we launched more than 10,000 Digital Storefronts, making storefronts for all Jewelry Consultants (“JCs”) so they can now connect with customers anytime, anywhere, and sell beyond the limitations of physical stores. Sales attributed to Digital Storefronts increased over 3x versus Fiscal 2024.
For the last three years, the Company has offered 2-way SMS as a communication channel with our online virtual jewelry experts. This past year, we established another 2-way SMS journey that lives fully within the clienteling application used by our in-store JCs, allowing customers to connect with their JCs utilizing their preferred method of communication. Adoption of this new communication channel with JCs increased conversions compared to personalized email communications. This solidifies the Company's investment in Connected Commerce strategies. The Company has implemented asynchronous messaging with intent recognition, allowing efficient routing to the appropriate expert based on customer intent. For example, sales experts can assist customers with engagement rings, watches, and other gifts, while service experts can assist with existing orders or purchases.
Our robust Customer Data Platform and Journey Analytics and Orchestration program allows the Company to gain a more detailed and personalized understanding of the customer. This program has enabled the Company to activate cookie-less data to follow up on previous purchases and anticipate customer needs. We also personalize our messaging and onsite experiences based on our customer's purchasing preferences and behavior to build stronger connections and increase purchase confidence.
Our Commitment to Customer Experience
Signet is committed to delivering an inspiring, innovative, full-service experience for customers across all channels to ensure the business’s success. The Company prioritizes recruiting, training, and retaining qualified JCs to deliver customer satisfaction. Signet also continues to invest in capabilities to enhance the customer experience to make it more personalized and journey-focused. Signet’s Voice of the Customer program uses the Net Promoter System that was established to take stable measurements throughout the shopping ecosystem for key customer journeys, and discovering how to operationalize customer feedback effectively. We continue to expand our customer listening to prioritize investing in the moments that matter to the customer. We have achieved our highest Net Promoter Scores to date in both the store and digital shopping journey, well above industry benchmarks.
Store and brand operations
As noted above, the Company operates nine brands in North America and two brands in the UK, operating through both online and brick and mortar retail operations. Signet has specific operating and financial criteria that must be satisfied before investing in new stores or renewing leases on existing stores, including evaluation of the mall/trade area and market potential. Signet continues to rationalize its store footprint in a manner that it believes will drive greater store productivity. These efforts include development and implementation of innovative store concepts to improve the in-store shopping experience, execution of opportunistic store relocations and store closures aimed at under-performing stores, and reducing the Company’s mall-based exposure.

The Company’s strategic acquisition of Blue Nile, a leading online retailer of engagement rings and fine jewelry, in Fiscal 2023 helped accelerate Signet’s initiative to expand its bridal offerings, grow its accessible luxury portfolio, and extend its digital leadership across the jewelry category.

Products and merchandising
Signet believes that one of its competitive strengths is its industry-leading merchandising. Merchandise selection, innovation, availability and value are all critical success factors. The range of merchandise offered and the appropriate level of inventory availability are supported centrally by extensive and continuous research and testing. Signet’s jewelry merchant teams are constantly evaluating global design trends, innovating, and developing new jewelry collections, including through strategic partnerships, that resonate with customers.
Suppliers
In Fiscal 2025, the five largest suppliers collectively accounted for approximately 21% of total purchases, with the largest supplier comprising approximately 6%. Signet transacts business with suppliers on a worldwide basis at various stages of the supply chain with third party diamond cutting and jewelry manufacturing being predominantly carried out in Asia.
Merchandise
Details of merchandise mix by major product category, which excludes sales from service plans, repairs, subscriptions, loose diamonds and other miscellaneous sales, are shown below:

| North America |  | International |  |  |  | Consolidated
Fiscal 2025 |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Bridal | 49 | % |  | 48 | % |  |  |  | 49 | %
Fashion | 46 | % |  | 23 | % |  |  |  | 45 | %
Watches | 4 | % |  | 29 | % |  |  |  | 5 | %
Other | 1 | % |  | — | % |  |  |  | 1 | %
| 100 | % |  | 100 | % |  |  |  | 100 | %
Fiscal 2024 |  |  |  |  |  |  |

Fashion | 45 | % |  | 21 | % |  |  |  | 44 | %

Other | 1 | % |  | — | % |  |  |  | 1 | %
| 100 | % |  | 100 | % |  |  |  | 100 | %

The bridal category, which includes engagement, wedding and anniversary purchases, is predominantly diamond jewelry. All of our product categories are to an extent dependent on the economic environment as customers can trade up or down price points depending on their available budget. During Fiscal 2025, bridal represented 49% of Signet’s total merchandise sales.
Merchandise is classified as non-branded, third-party branded, and branded differentiated and exclusive. Non-branded merchandise includes items and styles such as bracelets, gold necklaces, solitaire diamond rings, and diamond stud earrings. Branded differentiated and exclusive merchandise are items that are branded and exclusive to Signet within its marketplaces, or that are not widely available from other jewelry retailers (e.g. Vera Wang Love®, Neil Lane®, Disney Enchanted®).
Signet believes that the development of branded differentiated and exclusive merchandise raises the profile of its brands, helps to drive sales and provides its well-trained jewelry consultants with a powerful selling proposition. Digital marketing and national television advertisements include elements that drive brand awareness and purchase intent. Signet’s scale and proven record of success in developing branded differentiated and exclusive merchandise attracts offers of such programs from jewelry manufacturers, designers and others ahead of competing retailers, and enables it to leverage its supply chain strengths.
Merchandise held on consignment is used to enhance product selection and test new designs. This minimizes exposure to changes in fashion trends and provides the flexibility for the Company to return non-performing merchandise to vendors. The bulk of Signet’s consignment inventory is held in the North America reportable segment.
Signet also leverages "virtual inventory" through supplier relationships that enable the Company to display certain suppliers' inventories on brand websites for customers to purchase while not physically holding the items in its inventory. Virtual inventory expands the choice of merchandise available to customers online. During Fiscal 2025, sales of virtual inventory in the North America reportable segment were approximately 57% of segment eCommerce sales and 13% of total segment sales.
Raw materials
The Company’s costs, as with the jewelry industry as a whole, are generally affected by fluctuations in the price and supply of natural and lab-grown diamonds, gold and, to a much lesser extent, other precious and semi-precious metals and stones. The cost of raw materials is only part of the costs involved in determining the retail selling price of jewelry, with labor costs and assembly costs from third-party vendors also being significant factors.

Table of Contents
Diamond sourcing
Signet procures its diamonds mostly as finished jewelry and, to a smaller extent, as loose polished diamonds and rough diamonds which are in turn polished. The Company primarily polishes natural rough diamonds it procures in its Gaborone, Botswana factory, and lab-grown rough diamonds the Company procures are polished at third-party factories.
Signet purchases finished product where management has identified compelling value based on product design, cost and availability, among other factors. Under certain types of arrangements, this method of purchasing also provides the Company with the opportunity to reserve inventory held by vendors and to make returns or exchanges with suppliers, which reduces the risk of over- or under-purchasing. Signet’s scale, balance sheet and robust procurement systems enable it to purchase merchandise at advantageous prices and on favorable terms.
Signet purchases loose polished diamonds in global markets (e.g. India and Israel) from a variety of sources (e.g. polishers and traders). Signet mounts stones in settings purchased from manufacturers using third-party and in-house resources. By using these approaches, the cost of merchandise is reduced, and the consistency of quality is maintained, enabling Signet to provide better value to customers. Buying loose diamonds allows Signet’s buyers to gain a detailed understanding of the manufacturing cost structures and, in turn, leverage that knowledge to negotiate better prices for the supply of finished products.
Signet continues to take steps to advance its vertical integration, which includes natural and lab-grown rough diamond sourcing and processing. Signet’s objective with this initiative is to secure additional, reliable and consistent supplies of diamonds for customers worldwide while achieving further efficiencies in the supply chain. Signet contracts with factories in India for polishing of rough lab-grown diamonds it procures from producers and polishes natural diamonds in its Botswana factory. The Company is a De Beers sightholder and receives contracted allocations of rough natural diamonds. Signet has also established a diamond liaison office in India and a diamond trading office in New York to further support its sourcing operation.
Natural rough diamonds are purchased directly from the miners and then the stones are marked, cut and polished in its Botswana polishing facility. Any stones deemed unsuitable for Signet’s needs are sold to third parties on the open market.
Marketing and advertising
Marketing is one of Signet’s most critical investments. The Company leverages its marketing spend to drive customer awareness, purchase consideration, traffic, and revenue in the short-term, and customer loyalty, lifetime value and market share growth over time. Effective and efficient marketing investment is a competitive advantage in the jewelry industry, which involves a discretionary purchase where much of the merchandise is not branded, and the purchase cycle can stretch to years.
Signet’s marketing investment is actively managed across multiple online and offline consumer touchpoints including linear television, social media influencers and creators, digital advertising, and in-store product storytelling. Spend distribution evolves over time to align to changes in consumer behavior, marketing technology (e.g., AI and personalization capabilities) and economic shifts.
As marketing activities are undertaken throughout the year, digital and data capabilities provide real-time insights into customer journeys, enabling personalized communications. Signet continues to evolve its marketing model by balancing the timing and mix of its media investments, leveraging a personalized journey-based approach, and evolving content to align to shifts in media consumption. While the Company maintains its strong media presence during traditional time-based holidays (e.g., Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, and the Holiday Season), Signet has also expanded its visibility in milestone gifting occasions (e.g., birthdays and anniversaries) and in targeted “always on” bridal messaging.
The individual Signet brands are highly focused on driving differentiated brand value propositions across all customer touchpoints. In doing so, they work with a portfolio of media and creative partners and have access to an array of internal and external data, analytics, and personalization expertise.
Details of gross advertising (i.e. advertising before vendor contributions) by segment is shown below:

|  | Fiscal 2025 |  | Fiscal 2024 |  |

Services
The Company offers repair services to its customers that include both merchandise repairs and custom design services and provide an important opportunity to build lifetime customer loyalty. The custom design and repair business has its own field management and training structure and operates in Design & Service Centers located in Jared stores. These Design & Service Centers are staffed with skilled artisans who support the repair and custom business generated in the Kay, Zales and Jared brands. Signet’s custom jewelry sales use a proprietary computer selling system and in-store design capabilities. Signet expanded its capabilities with the acquisition of SJR in July 2023 which allows the Company to provide B2B repairs and complete its own watch repairs. In addition, Signet has retained the former Blue Nile fulfillment center in Seattle, Washington, to create a central facility to perform customer repairs, appraisals and custom design services.
The Kay, Zales, Jared and Peoples brands sell extended service plans covering lifetime repair service for jewelry, and Banter sells jewelry replacement plans. The Design & Service Centers also service the lifetime repair service plans in the US, in addition to supporting the chargeable repairs and custom businesses. The Company offers lifetime repair service plans for both bridal and fashion merchandise, which cover services such as ring sizing, refinishing and polishing, rhodium plating of white gold, earring repair, chain soldering, engraving for bridal merchandise, and the resetting of diamonds and gemstones that arise due to the normal usage of the merchandise or a replacement option if the merchandise cannot be repaired. The extended service plans are a valuable part of the customer experience and product offerings. These plans provide the Company a higher rate of profitability than merchandise sales and are a significant component of Signet’s operating income. Jewelry replacement plans require the issuance of new replacement merchandise if the original merchandise is determined to be defective or damaged within a defined period in accordance with the plan agreement. The North America segment also offers customers a two-year fine watch warranty. Other services managed through third-party offerings include personal jewelry insurance and appraisals. Refer to Note 3 in Item 8 for additional information on Signet’s extended service plans.
In addition to repairs done under the extended service plans, the Company provides additional repair services, which represent less than 5% of consolidated sales.
Signet’s Vault Rewards loyalty program is offered across its Kay, Zales and Jared brands, providing its members with benefits and offers once enrolled. The program aims to increase customer engagement and incentivize repeated purchases through its benefit offerings. As of the end of Fiscal 2025, the Company had over 10.5 million members enrolled in this program.
Customer finance
Several factors inherent in the US jewelry business support the circumstances through which Signet is positioned to generate profitable incremental business through its partner supported consumer payment programs. These factors include a high average transaction value and a significant population of customers seeking to finance merchandise, primarily in the bridal category. Signet’s financial service offerings are an integral part of its business and a major driver of customer retention. In North American markets, customers are offered revolving and promotional credit plans under Signet’s private label credit card programs, a lease purchase option provided by Progressive Leasing, and installment loan and split-payment options provided by Affirm, allowing Signet to offer payment options that meet each customer’s individual needs. In addition, the Company has partnerships with third-party providers who directly extend financing to its customers, and who also manage and service the customers’ accounts.
Below is a summary of the payment participation rate in North America which reflects activity for Signet’s outsourced credit program in North America for Kay, Jared, Zales, Peoples and Banter customers, as well as lease purchase customers:

(dollars in millions) | Fiscal 2025 |  | Fiscal 2024
Total North America sales (1) | $ | 5,325.7 |  | $ | 5,599.6
Credit, lease and Affirm purchase sales | $ | 2,268.2 |  | $ | 2,463.0
Credit, lease and Affirm purchase sales as % of total eligible North America sales (1) | 42.6 | % |  | 44.0 | %

(1) Excludes Diamonds Direct, Digital brands and Rocksbox, as these brands do not participate in the Company’s financing programs discussed above.
Through Signet’s partnerships, the Company is able to offer a range of financing, leasing, and payment opportunities across most of its brands. The Company continues to source and develop new options to meet its customers’ needs across the various merchandise price points. These offerings and partnerships allow the Company to focus on its core business of being the premier jewelry partner for its customers.
Comenity Bank and Comenity Capital Bank (collectively “Comenity”) provide credit and services to the Kay, Jared, Zales and Banter brands. Concora Credit Inc. (“Concora”) provides a second look program for applicants declined by Comenity. During Fiscal 2024, the Comenity and Concora program agreements were amended and restated to terminate in December 2028 and December 2025, respectively. In February 2025, the Company extended the Concora program agreement with a new termination date of December 2028. Servicing on non-prime receivables, including operational interfaces and customer servicing, is provided by Concora. As a result of the amended and restated agreements entered into with Comenity and Concora, Signet has not retained any customer in-house finance receivables since Fiscal 2022. Refer to Note 11 of Item 8 for additional information.

HUMAN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
Signet’s People First approach
At Signet, our approach to human capital management starts with our core value of “People First” and aims at creating a truly inclusive, innovative, and collaborative company culture. As a retail company, sales and customer relationships are at the core of our business model. Our success depends on our ability to attract, develop, and retain highly engaged, high performing and motivated team members who are deeply connected to our Purpose of Inspiring Love. All team members are immersed in Signet’s employee experience where team members are invited to be their best selves; introduced to new ideas that grow their passion, not just their jobs; and are inspired to inspire more love in the world. The execution of our business strategy is supported by our confidence in the Signet team and our commitment to their overall success and personal growth. We believe that thriving and engaged team members are integral to Signet’s success. By focusing on strong people practices, we foster improved retention rates and a better-trained workforce to delight our customers. Signet’s retention rate for North America has increased over four percentage points from Fiscal 2024 to Fiscal 2025 as a reflection of our culture of inclusion and training programs described below. Our emphasis on rewarding our retail team members with competitive wages and benefits provides a compelling package. Signet has maintained a minimum wage of $15/hour for our US operations throughout multiple acquisitions since the fall of Fiscal 2022 and our full-time, hourly paid median employee, who is a jewelry consultant, earned $40,617 for Fiscal 2025 with commissions and incentives.
In Fiscal 2025, Signet is proud to be certified by Great Place to Work® for the fifth consecutive year which reflects the pride, engagement, and enthusiasm of our team members throughout our organization. We attribute this accolade to our focus on our Purpose, company culture, team member engagement and our overall human capital management strategy.
Vision for the future
As noted in the Purpose and Strategy section, the Company’s CSGs provide a roadmap for Signet’s commitment to sustainability. Under the heading “Love for Our Team,” the Chief People Officer is responsible for critical CSGs in the areas of Employer of Choice, Community of Inclusiveness, and Purpose and Appreciation. A full list of Signet’s CSGs is published on the Company’s corporate website and an annual progress report on the CSGs is included in the Company’s annual Corporate Citizenship and Sustainability report.

Inclusive Culture
Inspired by our Purpose and by our core value of “People First,” we value building a pluralistic workforce, embracing different perspectives, and fostering an inclusive, empowering work environment where our team members feel they belong and customers feel welcomed. This diverse blend of backgrounds and perspectives within our teams create an inviting atmosphere for our customers while allowing us to better understand their tastes, interests and purchase preferences of all customers.
Our intention is to foster work experiences free of discrimination. Our efforts transcend all levels of our Company, from our retail store team members to our leadership team and Board of Directors (“Board”). Our Board includes five female members, as well as two ethnically diverse members. Approximately 41% of North America Vice Presidents and above are women and approximately 15% of Vice Presidents and above are ethnically diverse.

Our executive sponsors have collaborated with our eight Business Resource Groups - Veterans, Signet Pride (LGBTQ+), Women’s, Black Employee Network, Young Professionals, Radiance, Diamante (Hispanic and Latinx) and Asian Pacific Employee Network - to create a culture of inclusion. As a result of this partnership, the membership and participation rate for Signet’s Business Resource Groups increased 15% from Fiscal 2024 to Fiscal 2025.
As part of our commitment to continued enhancements in our inclusion and belonging efforts, we provide team members annual training in various areas that support building a more inclusive and collaborative workplace.
Training
We’re creating a collaborative and energized environment where all team members can be empowered to learn, grow, and have meaningful careers. Advancement opportunities through internal leadership mentorship programs, training, internships, and a recruiting strategy to ensure we pursue top talent across industries and backgrounds. In addition, the Company has implemented development programs focused on increasing the diversity of our leadership at every level. In Fiscal 2025, Signet continued its Enterprise Mentoring Program to support personal and career growth.
In Fiscal 2025, Signet continued to invest in our learning platform, Brilliant University, to support team member training, leadership development and education. Team members receive, on average, over 18 hours of learning per year through the Brilliant University platform. The platform gives team members access to training modules from their very first day of employment. Investments in our people, such as training, allows us to recruit and retain exceptional candidates from other retailers and industries and efficiently provide them with new skills and experiences regarding Signet values, leadership traits and jewelry knowledge. The Week One Experience is an immersive, 40-hour training for all full-time team members across our Kay, Jared, Peoples and Zales brands. In Fiscal 2025, Signet offered the program to more than 1,200 new team members. This highlights the value of our investment in team member development and our dedication to creating an environment where they can thrive.
Brilliant University empowers team members to invest in learning their job, building new skills and growing their career. The Signet team member training experience is defined by Signet’s seven leadership traits: (1) Vision and Purpose; (2) Critical Thinking; (3) Customer Obsession; (4) Employee Experience; (5) Diversity, Equity & Inclusion; (6) Innovative Action; and (7) Performance Excellence. Our leadership traits are foundational to the success of each leader at Signet no matter the job title. We believe in “leadership at every level” and Brilliant University provides education and training for team members to learn more about what each trait looks like at different levels in the organization.
Benefits
Competitive benefits are critical to our success in identifying, recruiting, retaining, and incentivizing our existing and prospective team members. We design our employee benefits to be competitive in the marketplace and provide a comprehensive total rewards package for team members. As a retailer, Signet is a destination employer for both full-time and part-time workers. All eligible team members, regardless of full-time or part-time status, are offered a portfolio of benefits including medical, dental, vision and life insurance, as well as wellness benefits. Discounts for pet, auto and home insurance have been added in the US based on team member priorities and interests. Signet expands its benefits each year to retain and attract top talent.
Nearly 90% of Signet’s workforce is located in North America, namely the US and Canada. All US team members are eligible to earn paid time off and can contribute to a 401(k) plan, with a company matching contribution formula that provides up to a 3% matching opportunity. In Fiscal 2025, Signet added cancer counseling benefits and an at-home colon cancer screening program at no cost to US team members covered under our health plans. Additionally, Signet made our benefits package more appealing to retail workers by reducing the eligibility waiting period from 90 days to 60 days for non-exempt US team members. In Canada, Signet added fertility coverage to our health plan.
Signet offers Employee Assistance Programs (EAP) to all US and international team members. The benefits package provided to Signet’s international team members vary by country.
Collective bargaining
We respect our employees' rights to organize and engage in bargaining in good faith to reach a collective agreement that meets team members’ needs. Our diamond polishing factory employees in Gaborone, Botswana are covered by a collective bargaining agreement (represents less than 1% of Signet’s total employees). None of our employees in the UK and North America are covered by collective bargaining agreements.
Board oversight
Signet’s Human Capital Management & Compensation (“HCMC”) Committee plays an active role in overseeing our human capital management efforts. The full Board has worked closely with the executive management team, particularly the Chief People Officer, in helping shape the succession plans and leadership development agenda. Board oversight activities in this area include review of Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and executive officer succession planning, review of employee metrics, employee experience, and review of the Company's employee engagement survey results. In addition to its compensation governance responsibilities, the HCMC Committee provides oversight on behalf of the Board to overall management of human capital including culture, inclusion, executive

compensation programs, benefits and well-being strategy, talent management (attraction, development, and retention), performance management, and succession planning. The scope of the HCMC Committee underscores our focus on the quality, performance, retention and development of our team. Signet’s HCMC Committee, in collaboration with the CCS Committee, oversees our culture of inclusion, team member engagement and team member experience practices.
MARKETS
Signet operates primarily in the US, Canada and UK markets.
US
Based on industry and transaction data from MasterCard Spending Pulse and market research company Circana, we estimate that the total US jewelry and watch market was $63 billion in calendar year 2024, flat compared to the prior year. This implies a Signet jewelry and watch market share of 8.6%, a 40 basis-points decline from the previous year. Since 2013, the industry average annual growth rate has been flat. According to the latest data from the Jewelers Board of Trade, as of December 2024 there were approximately 17,100 jewelry retail stores in the US, down approximately 3% from the prior year.
Canada
The average of the most recent Canada jewelry and watch market estimates published by Euromonitor in February 2025 and Statista in September 2024 was approximately $7.4 billion CAD (adjusted to exclude Quebec) in calendar year 2024, an estimated increase of approximately 3% from the previous year based on these sources. Since 2018, based on the average of the above sources, the industry annual growth rate has been 5%.
UK
In the UK, the jewelry and watch market was approximately £7.5 billion in calendar year 2024 based on the average of estimates published by Euromonitor in February 2025, Statista in September 2024 and Mintel in September 2024, an estimated increase of approximately 2% from the previous year based on these sources. Since 2020, based on the average of the above sources, the industry annual growth rate has been 9%.

SEASONALITY
Signet’s business is seasonal, with the fourth quarter historically accounting for approximately 35-40% of annual sales, as well as for a substantial portion of the annual operating income and cash flows. The “Holiday Season” consists of results for the months of November and December, with December being the highest volume month of the year.
REGULATION
As a company with both US and international operations, we are required to comply with numerous laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we operate, covering areas such as consumer protection, consumer privacy, data protection, consumer credit, consumer credit insurance, health and safety, waste disposal, supply chain integrity, truth in advertising and employment. Signet monitors changes in these laws to maintain compliance with applicable requirements.
CLIMATE CHANGE
Signet recognizes that climate change poses a systemic risk to business operations.
Adverse effects of climate change, such as extreme weather events, particularly over a prolonged period, could negatively impact the Company’s business and results of operations if such conditions limit our consumers’ ability to access our stores, cause our consumers to limit discretionary spending, or disrupt our supply chains or distribution channels.
16

Table of Contents
Adverse effects of climate change may increase the costs of diamond mining and diamond processing, including cutting and polishing. Signet sources diamonds from around the world, and some locations may be more vulnerable to climate change than others. If a subsequent supply of natural diamonds shortens with increased costs, Signet may re-evaluate its diamond assortment in line with customer preferences for cost and quality.
Signet has put a governance structure in place to monitor climate risks and adjust business operations accordingly. Two Board-level committees at Signet are responsible for monitoring climate risks: (1) the Audit Committee oversees all enterprise risks across the Company; and (2) the CCS Committee oversees enterprise-wide policy regarding Signet’s 2030 CSGs, including the Company plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and provides management oversight for opportunities and risks that may significantly impact the Company’s sustainability objectives and related initiatives on business performance. At the Company level, Signet’s Climate Action and Sustainability Committee is a cross-functional management committee with senior leaders across Signet’s business operations that coordinates and facilitates improvements on climate-related data collection, analysis and disclosures. Signet’s greenhouse gas emission data is published in our annual Corporate Citizenship and Sustainability report, which is available on the Company’s website, www.signetjewelers.com. Signet continuously improves business processes and systems required to disclose greenhouse gas emissions data with sufficient controls and assurances to satisfy statutory reporting requirements and applicable climate-related emissions reporting rules at the federal and state level.
AVAILABLE INFORMATION
Signet files annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, proxy statements and other information with the SEC. Such information, and amendments to reports previously filed or furnished, is available free of charge from the Company’s corporate website, www.signetjewelers.com, as soon as reasonably practicable after such materials are filed with or furnished to the SEC.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Risks Related to Global and Economic Conditions
Many of the factors affecting consumer spending are outside of our control, and a decline in consumer spending may unfavorably impact Signet’s future sales and earnings, particularly if such decline occurs during the Holiday Season.
Our financial performance is somewhat dependent on US consumer confidence and the broader economic environment. Overall economic conditions in the US, Canada, UK, and Europe impact our revenue and earnings. A deterioration in these conditions, particularly in the mid-tier and accessible luxury segments, could further pressure our future sales and profitability. The UK economy is also influenced by the Eurozone, which may affect our International segment and have ripple effects on the US economy.
Discretionary consumer spending is influenced by numerous factors including but not limited to: economic conditions, inflation, consumer confidence, unemployment, disposable income, interest rates, debt levels, credit availability, taxation, changes in government stimulus and assistance programs, shifts in discretionary spending toward travel and experiences. As our sales are highly seasonal, adverse economic shifts or changes in these factors during the Holiday Season could amplify negative impacts. While we serve a broad customer base, our mid-market store brands are more vulnerable to inflation and reductions in government stimulus than luxury jewelry retailers or even our own accessible luxury store brands.
Consumer spending is also affected by factors beyond our control, including wage levels, merchandise demand trends, competitive retail activity, supply chain disruptions, rising costs of necessities, weather and natural disasters (including those linked to climate change), public health crises, geopolitical conflicts, and social unrest. These pressures could reduce store traffic, same-store sales, and average transaction values, while causing us to increase promotional activity, which would negatively affect margins and overall financial performance, particularly if prolonged.
Jewelry is a discretionary purchase often perceived as a luxury, making it sensitive to economic downturns and declines in disposable income. During recessions or periods of high unemployment, consumers tend to reduce discretionary spending. To address demand fluctuations, we have historically adjusted pricing and promotions, but such measures can pressure margins and earnings. Additionally, competition from other discretionary spending categories such as electronics, entertainment, and travel (especially during the Holiday Season) can further shift consumer priorities.
Rising inflation and increased operating costs including but not limited to materials, labor, fulfillment and advertising may negatively impact our business. If we are unable to adjust pricing to offset these cost increases without negatively impacting demand, profitability may decline. Sharp commodity cost increases may create a lag before they are reflected in retail prices, affecting margins. If sustained, these costs may require higher inventory funding or adjustments in product offerings, disrupting sales and liquidity.

Table of Contents
Any deterioration in consumers’ financial position, changes to the regulatory requirements regarding the granting of credit to customers or disruption in the availability of credit to customers could adversely impact the Company’s sales and earnings.
Approximately 43% of Signet’s sales in the US and Canada utilize third-party customer financing or payment programs, with the additional purchases being made in cash or using third-party bank cards. Any significant deterioration in general economic conditions, including a potential recession, or increase in consumer debt levels may inhibit consumers’ use of credit and decrease consumers’ ability to satisfy requirements for access to customer financing or payment options, which could in turn have an adverse effect on the Company’s sales.
Additionally, the ability of Signet’s customers to obtain credit from our private label credit card providers and the terms of such credit depends on many factors, including continued arrangements with the parties providing the credit financing and compliance with applicable laws and regulations in the US and Canada, any of which may change from time to time. As discussed further in Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8, Signet has outsourced its third-party credit programs, however, if any of those third-party credit providers were to terminate, Signet may need to enter into other arrangements with other third-parties. If Signet is unable to find other potential providers to supply a similar third-party credit program and alternative payment options, Signet’s ability to extend credit to customers could be impaired, which could have an adverse effect on our business.
Any new regulatory initiatives or investigations by federal or state authorities, including a potential cap on late fees or relating to the Company’s in-store credit practices, promotions, and payment protection products could impose additional costs and/or restrictions on credit practices of the North America segment, which could have an adverse effect on the conduct of Signet’s business.
Because of the highly seasonal nature of Signet’s sales, any one of these factors that occurs during the Holiday Season would have an increased adverse impact.
New tariffs, trade embargoes, sanctions or other restrictions on foreign trade, if imposed against entire nations or specific goods, supplies or materials that the Company imports, could have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations.
Many of the products that the Company sells, including jewelry, watches, and cut and polished diamonds, are imported from foreign countries such as India, China, Botswana and others. Likewise, many of the supplies, materials and fixtures we purchase related to our products and stores are imported from foreign countries, such as China, Canada and others. Government officials in the US, Canada and UK have from time-to-time placed tariffs on goods and materials that the Company imports, particularly from China. Recently, the global macroeconomic environment has been negatively affected by increased US trade tariffs and trade disputes between the US, China and other countries, which have caused, and are likely to continue to cause, uncertainty and instability in local economies and in global financial markets. Since February 1, 2025, President Trump announced a number of new tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico and China as well as tariffs on imports of steel and aluminum. These additional tariffs, if continued, as well as any retaliation by those governments against such tariffs or policies, have introduced significant uncertainty into the market.
The escalation of trade tensions has had and could continue to have a significant, adverse effect on world trade and the world economy. While the Company does not believe that tariffs will materially impact its business, the imposition of additional or increased tariffs on jewelry or other supplies and materials that the Company imports from China or other countries, or the Company’s inability to successfully manage inventory from such countries, could require the Company to increase prices to its customers or, if unable to do so, result in lowering its gross margin on products sold.
In addition, if taxes, trade embargoes, sanctions or other restrictions on foreign trade are imposed by the US, UK or Canada on goods, supplies or materials that the Company imports from foreign countries, the Company’s ability to obtain the finished goods and commodities it sells at retail could be adversely impacted.
Public health crisis or disease outbreak, epidemic or pandemic, such as COVID-19 have had and could continue to have a significant adverse impact on our business, and this outbreak, as well as other public health crises or disease outbreaks, epidemics or pandemics, has and could continue to adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and could continue to 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 an event, could adversely impact our business. COVID-19 significantly impacted consumer traffic and our retail sales during Fiscal 2021, and had long-term impacts on consumer shopping habits and trends. Our business may be further impacted if the economy deteriorates due to the long-term effects of COVID-19 pandemic or other disease.
Previous COVID-19 restrictions caused disruptions in the number of people that were forming new intimate relationships. The effect of that disruption began to negatively impact sales of engagement rings in Fiscal 2023 and continues to affect sales to date. The
18

Table of Contents
ultimate duration of this effect on engagements in unknown. A temporary or permanent change to consumer trends, such as attitudinal shift away from the cultural custom of expressing commitments through engagements and weddings, would have serious negative impacts to the performance of our bridal categories, which currently represent approximately half of our annual sales.
To the extent that COVID-19 has affected and continues to adversely affect the US and global economy, our business, results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition, it has heightened, and may continue to heighten, other risks described herein.
A reduction in traffic to shopping malls or centers, including the closing of other destination retailers in the shopping areas where our stores are located, could significantly reduce our sales and leave us with excess inventory, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, profitability, and cash flows.
Many Signet stores are located within shopping malls or shopping centers and benefit from heavy consumer traffic in such locations. Due to the increase in online shopping, there has been a substantial decline in shopping mall and shopping center traffic. If the Company does not focus its locations in attractive areas and/or increase its online sales, this trend away from shopping mall and shopping center purchases could adversely impact Signet’s operations and financial condition. As Signet tests and develops new types of store locations and designs, there is no certainty as to their success.
Additionally, because many Signet stores are located within shopping malls or shopping centers, our sales are derived, in part, from the volume of traffic generated by the other destination retailers and the anchor stores in the malls and shopping centers where our stores are located. Customer traffic to these shopping areas may be adversely affected by the closing of such destination retailers or anchor stores, or by a reduction in traffic to such stores resulting from a regional or global economic downturn, an outbreak of flu or other viruses, increased crime, a general downturn in the local area where our store is located, or a decline in the desirability of the shopping environment of a particular mall or shopping center. Such a reduction in customer traffic would reduce our sales and leave us with excess inventory, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, profitability, and cash flows. We may respond by increasing markdowns, initiating marketing promotions, or transferring product to other stores to reduce excess inventory, which would further decrease our gross profits and net income.
Fluctuations in foreign exchange rates could adversely impact the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.
Signet prepares its consolidated financial statements in US dollars. At February 1, 2025, Signet held approximately 91% of its total assets in entities whose functional currency is the US dollar and generated approximately 91% of its sales in US dollars for the fiscal year then ended. All the remaining assets and sales are primarily in British pounds and Canadian dollars. Therefore, the Company’s results of operations and balance sheet are subject to fluctuations in the exchange rates between the US dollar and both the British pound and Canadian dollar. Accordingly, any decrease in the weighted average value of the British pound or Canadian dollar against the US dollar would decrease reported sales and operating income.
The monthly average exchange rates are used to prepare the statements of operations and are calculated based on the daily exchange rates experienced by the International segment and the Canadian subsidiaries of the North America segment in the fiscal month. If British pounds or Canadian dollars are held or used to fund the cash flow requirements of the business, any decrease in the weighted average value of the British pound or Canadian dollar against the US dollar would reduce the amount of cash and cash equivalents.
Signet uses foreign currency derivative instruments to hedge certain exposures to currency exchange rate risks. Market conditions, particularly in the UK and Canada could result in significant volatility in currency exchange rate fluctuations and increase Signet’s exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risks and reduce its ability to effectively use certain derivative instruments to hedge risks. In addition, the prices of certain materials and products bought on the international markets by Signet are denominated in foreign currencies. As a result, Signet has exposures to exchange rate fluctuations on its cost of goods sold, as well as volatility of input prices if foreign manufacturers and suppliers are impacted by exchange rate fluctuations.
Our future results of operations may be adversely affected by input cost inflation.
Many aspects of our business have been, and may continue to be, directly affected by volatile commodity costs and other inflationary pressures. Commodities, such as diamonds and precious metals, are subject to price volatility which can be caused by commodity market fluctuations, changes in currency exchange rates, imbalances between supply and demand, and government programs and tariffs, policies and sanctions among other factors. Volatile fuel costs translate into unpredictable costs for the products and services we receive from our third-party providers. While we seek to offset increased input costs with a combination of price increases to our customers, purchasing strategies, cost savings initiatives and operating efficiencies, we may be unable to fully offset our increased costs or unable to do so in a timely manner. If we are unable to fully offset such cost increases, our financial results could be materially adversely affected.

Signet’s business could be adversely affected by extreme weather conditions, natural disasters, or terrorism and acts of war.
Extreme weather conditions in the areas in which the Company’s stores are located have negatively impacted sales in the past and could negatively affect the Company’s business and results of operations in the future. For example, frequent or unusually heavy snowfall, ice storms, or other extreme weather conditions, whether as a result of climate change or otherwise, over a prolonged period could make it difficult for the Company’s salesforce or customers to travel to its stores and thereby reduce the Company’s sales and profitability, particularly if such events occur during the Company’s Holiday Season. In addition, natural disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, or wildfires, or a combination of these or other factors, could damage or destroy the Company’s facilities or make it difficult for the salesforce or customers to travel to its stores, thereby negatively affecting the Company’s business and results of operations.
Terrorism, armed conflict, and acts of war (or the expectation of such events), both in the US and abroad, could also have a significant impact on Signet’s business and the worldwide economy. At times throughout the past several years, volatile geopolitical conditions have impacted the financial markets. Significant market volatility, and government actions taken in response, may exacerbate some of the risks we face. Conflicts abroad could cause decreased demand for the Company’s products as consumers’ attention and interests are diverted from jewelry and become focused on issues relating to these events. For instance, the Russia-Ukraine conflict has adversely impacted and could continue to adversely impact, among other things, certain of the Company’s local markets and suppliers, global and local macroeconomic conditions, foreign exchange rates and financial markets, raw material, energy and transportation costs, and cause further supply chain disruptions. In addition, Signet operates quality control and technology centers in Israel. The recent Middle East conflicts could cause a disruption to Signet’s operations including, but not limited to, delays in product quality certification, failure to maintain or timely update the eCommerce platform for its Digital brands or impact its supply chain with vendors located in the Middle East. An inability to receive products after quality control, shortages of products or difficulties in procuring Signet’s products, or a disruption or shutdown of its digital brand websites, among others, may adversely impact its ability to commercialize, manufacture or market its products in a timely manner, any of which could have an adverse effect on Signet’s results of operations. Furthermore, there have been travel advisories imposed related to travel to Israel, and restriction on travel, or delays and disruptions as related to imports and exports may be imposed in the future. Volatile geopolitical conditions give rise to regional instability and may result in heightened economic sanctions from the US and the international community in a manner that adversely affects Signet’s business and may impact its ability to manufacture and ship its merchandise for sale to customers. Given that Signet’s control over such issues, including both weather disasters and large-scale violence, is extremely limited, the Company may not have the ability to mitigate the impacts of such occurrences on its business and operations.
Risks Related to Our Operations and Seasonality
Fluctuations in the pricing and availability of commodities, particularly polished diamonds and gold, which account for the majority of Signet’s merchandise costs, could adversely impact its earnings, inventory valuations and cash availability.
The jewelry industry generally is affected by fluctuations in the price and supply of natural and lab-grown diamonds, gold and, to a lesser extent, other precious and semi-precious metals and stones.
The mining, production and inventory policies followed by major producers of rough diamonds can have a significant impact on natural and lab-grown diamond prices and demand, as can the inventory and buying patterns of jewelry retailers and other parties in the supply chain. The demand for natural and lab-grown diamonds is uncertain and could decrease, which would have an adverse impact on the Company.
The availability of natural diamonds is significantly influenced by the political environment in diamond producing countries and by the Kimberley Process, an inter-governmental agreement for the international trading of rough diamonds. Until acceptable alternative sources of diamonds can be developed, any sustained interruption in the supply of natural diamonds from significant producing countries, or to the trading in rough and polished diamonds which could occur as a result of disruption to the Kimberley Process, could adversely affect Signet, as well as the retail jewelry market as a whole. In addition, the current Kimberley Process decision-making procedure is dependent on reaching a consensus among member governments, which can result in a protracted resolution of issues, and there is little expectation of significant reform over the long term. The impact of this review process on the supply of natural diamonds, and consumers’ perception of the diamond supply chain, is unknown. In addition to the Kimberley Process, the supply of diamonds to the US is also impacted by governmental trade sanctions, such as those imposed on Zimbabwe and Russia.
The possibility of constraints in the supply of natural or lab-grown diamonds of a size and quality Signet requires to meet its merchandising requirements may result in changes in Signet’s supply chain practices, including for example its rough sourcing operation. In addition, Signet may from time to time choose to hold more inventory, purchase raw materials at an earlier stage in the supply chain or enter into commercial agreements of a nature that it currently does not use. Such actions could require the investment
20

of cash and/or additional management skills. Such actions may not resolve supply constraints or result in the expected returns and other projected benefits anticipated by management.
While jewelry manufacturing is the major final demand for gold, management believes that the cost of gold is predominantly impacted by investment transactions, which have resulted in significant volatility of gold prices in recent years. Signet’s cost of merchandise and potentially its earnings may be adversely impacted by investment market considerations that cause the price of gold to remain high or escalate further.
An inability to increase retail prices to reflect higher commodity costs would result in lower profitability. Particularly sharp increases in commodity costs may result in a time lag before increased commodity costs are fully reflected in retail prices. Because Signet uses an average cost inventory methodology, volatility in commodity costs may also result in a time lag before cost increases are reflected in merchandise margins or require retail price changes. Further, even if price increases are implemented, there is no certainty that such increases will be sustainable or accepted by customers. These factors may cause decreases in gross margins and earnings. In addition, any sustained increases in the cost of commodities could result in the need to fund a higher level of inventory or changes in the merchandise available to the customer, which could increase costs and disrupt Signet’s sales levels.
Lab-grown diamonds are a meaningful portion of sales and inventory for Signet and the jewelry industry, and declining costs and retail prices could impact operating results and cause consumer dissatisfaction.
A material increase in the supply of gem quality lab-grown diamonds, combined with a material increase in consumer acceptance and demand thereof, has impacted and could continue to impact the cost and retail pricing of lab-grown and natural diamonds. Signet is a leading retailer of lab-grown diamonds and over the past several years the portion of our inventory, revenue and operating margin related to lab-grown diamonds has been increasing along with consumer demand and acceptance. In Fiscal 2025, approximately 17% of Signet’s merchandise sales were products containing lab-grown diamonds. The costs of lab-grown diamonds have been declining over the past several years as more supply from producers becomes available. The increased supply and lower costs have and may continue to drive down retail prices of lab-grown diamonds, particularly those without specialty designs, cuts and brands, which may have a negative impact on our revenue, merchandise margins and operating results. Further, as retail prices of lab-grown diamonds decline, consumers who purchased lab-grown diamonds at higher prices may become disappointed in the relative value of their purchase which could negatively impact the reputation of Signet and the jewelry industry.
Alrosa, a Russian diamond mining and distribution company, supplies more than 30% of the world’s diamonds. Sanctions against Alrosa specifically or the Russian Oligarchs by the US government or other governments have limited and may further limit the supply of diamonds in the world.
The world’s sources of rough diamonds are highly concentrated in a limited number of countries. Varying degrees of political and economic risk exist in these countries. As a consequence, the diamond business is subject to various sovereign risks beyond Signet’s control, such as changes in laws and policies affecting foreign trade and investment. In addition, Signet is subject to various political and economic risks, including the instability of foreign economies and governments, labor disputes, war and civil disturbances and other risks that could cause production difficulties or stoppages, restrict the movement of inventory or result in the deprivation or loss of contract rights or the taking of property by nationalization or expropriation without fair compensation. Signet’s direct purchases from Alrosa and its sourcing arrangement in Russia ceased in February 2022 and did not represent a significant part of its operations. However, any further interruption in the total market supply of diamonds due to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict or domestic or foreign government sanctions against Alrosa or Russian diamonds may impact the ability of Signet’s suppliers to provide Signet with responsibly sourced diamonds that were mined by other companies or in other countries. Beginning in March of 2024, leaders of the G7 nations intend to phase-in further import restrictions against not only direct purchases of diamonds mined in Russia but also indirect purchases of diamonds mined in Russia (e.g. diamonds that were mined in Russia but then cut and polished in other countries). Any significant disruption of Signet’s sources of supply, or restriction of inventory movement could have a material adverse effect on Signet’s results of operations or cash flows.
Signet may voluntarily disclose, or pursuant to the Dodd Frank Act and SEC rules must file public disclosures regarding the country of origin of certain supplies and materials, which could damage Signet’s reputation or impact the Company’s ability to obtain merchandise if customers or other stakeholders react negatively to Signet’s disclosures.
In August 2012, the SEC, pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act, issued final rules, which require annual disclosure and reporting on the source and use of certain minerals, including gold, from the Democratic Republic of Congo and adjoining countries. The gold supply chain is complex and, while management believes that the rules currently cover less than 1% of annual worldwide gold production, the final rules require Signet (and other affected companies that file with the SEC) to make specified country of origin inquiries of Signet’s suppliers, and otherwise to exercise reasonable due diligence in determining the country of origin and certain other information relating to any of the statutorily designated minerals (gold, tin, tantalum and tungsten), that are used in products sold by Signet in the US and elsewhere.
21

Table of Contents
There may be reputational risks associated with the potential negative response of Signet’s customers and other stakeholders to future disclosures by Signet in the event that, due to the complexity of the global supply chain, Signet is unable to sufficiently verify the origin of the relevant commodities. Also, if future responses to verification requests by suppliers of any of the materials used in Signet’s products are inadequate or adverse, Signet’s ability to obtain merchandise may be impaired and its compliance costs may increase. It is possible that other minerals, such as diamonds as noted above, could be subject to similar disclosure requirements or rules in the future.
Signet’s sales, operating income, cash and inventory levels fluctuate on a seasonal basis.
Signet’s business is highly seasonal, with a significant proportion of its sales and operating profit generated during its fourth quarter, which includes the Holiday Season. Management expects Signet to continue to experience a seasonal fluctuation in its sales and earnings. Therefore, there is limited ability for Signet to compensate for shortfalls in fourth quarter sales or earnings by changes in its operations and strategies in other quarters, or to recover from any extensive disruption, for example, due to sudden adverse changes in consumer confidence, consumer spending ability, economic conditions, unexpected trends in merchandise demand, significant competitive and promotional activity by other retailers, inclement weather conditions having an impact on a significant number of stores, especially in the last few days immediately before Christmas Day or disruption to warehousing and store replenishment systems. Additionally, in anticipation of increased sales activity in the Holiday Season, Signet incurs certain significant incremental expenses prior to and during peak selling seasons, including advertising and costs associated with hiring a substantial number of temporary employees to supplement the Company’s existing workforce. A significant shortfall in results for the fourth quarter of any fiscal year would therefore be expected to have a material adverse effect on the annual results of operations and cash flows, as well as inventory levels. Disruption at lesser peaks in sales at Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day would also be expected to adversely impact the results.
Failure to manage inventory levels or to obtain merchandise that customers wish to purchase on a timely basis could have a materially adverse impact on sales and earnings.
In order to operate its business successfully, Signet must maintain sufficient inventory levels. This requires forecasting, especially in the case of the Holiday Season, and a balance between meeting customer demand and avoiding accumulating excess inventory. If management misjudges expected customer demand, fails to identify changes in customer demand, or its supply chain does not respond in a timely manner, a shortage of merchandise or an accumulation of excess inventory could occur, which could adversely impact Signet’s results.
Other factors that could affect the Company’s inventory management and planning team’s ability to accurately forecast customer demand for its products include:
•a substantial increase or decrease in demand for products of Signet’s competitors;
•failure to accurately forecast trends and customer acceptance for new products;
•new product introductions, promotions or pricing strategies by competitors, particularly during holiday periods;
•changes in the Company’s product offerings including seasonal items and the Company’s ability to replenish these items in a timely manner;
•changes to the Company’s overall seasonal promotional cadence and the number and timing of promotional events and clearance sales;
•more limited historical store sales information for stores in newer markets;
•weakening of economic conditions or consumer confidence in the future, which could reduce demand for discretionary items, such as jewelry; and
•acts or threats of war, terrorism or epidemics, which could adversely affect consumer confidence and spending or interrupt production and distribution of Signet’s products and raw materials.
If the Company is unable to forecast demand accurately, it may encounter difficulties in filling customer orders or liquidating excess inventory at discount prices and may experience significant write-offs and customers could opt to purchase jewelry from a competitor. These outcomes could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s brand image, sales, gross margins, cash flow, competitive advantage and profitability.
Any difficulty or delay in executing or integrating an acquisition, a business combination or a major business or strategic initiative could have a material adverse impact on expected returns and other projected benefits from such an exercise.
We have recently made acquisitions of Diamonds Direct and Blue Nile in Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2023, respectively, and we may continue to make acquisitions in the future based on available opportunities in the market. All acquisitions, including these, involve numerous inherent challenges, such as our ability to properly evaluate acquisition opportunities and risks during diligence and our
22

Table of Contents
ability to balance resource constraints as we begin to integrate an acquired company into our existing business. Other risks and uncertainties related to our acquisitions include: failing to meet sales and profitability expectations; delayed or unrealized costs savings or synergy opportunities; unknown and underestimated liabilities; and difficulties integrating operations, personnel, financial systems and technology systems. Similarly, the acquisition of companies with operating margins lower than ours may cause a lower operating margin for Signet as a whole. Further, our ability to retain key employees of an acquired company, maintain pre-acquisition cultural dynamics and team morale, and foster the entrepreneurial spirit of an acquired company, particularly while implementing policies, procedures and compliance measures we require, may impact our ability to successfully integrate an acquisition. A significant transaction could also disrupt the operation of our current business activities and divert significant management time and resources.
Likewise, there is always the potential for difficulty or delay in execution of a strategic initiative including our direct diamond sourcing capabilities, or a strategic plan, such as our Grow Brand Love plan, that may prevent us from realizing expected returns and other projected benefits from such exercises during the anticipated timeframe or at all. The long-term growth of our business depends on the successful execution of our evolving business and strategic initiatives. Any number of factors could impact the success of these initiatives, many of which are out of our control, and there can be no assurance that they will be successful or deliver their anticipated benefits. Some initiatives may require us to devote significant management, financial and other resources and may expose us to new and unforeseen risks and challenges. We may also incur significant asset impairment and other charges in connection with any such initiative or an acquisition.
If we are unable to execute or integrate an acquisition, major business or strategic initiative or a transformation plan, this could have a significant adverse effect on our results of operations. Our current borrowing agreements place certain limited constraints on our ability to make an acquisition, and future borrowing agreements could place tighter constraints on such actions.
Long-term changes in consumer attitudes toward jewelry could be unfavorable and harm jewelry sales.
Consumer attitudes toward diamonds, gold and other precious metals and gemstones influence Signet’s sales. Attitudes could be affected by a variety of issues including concern over the source of raw materials; the impact of mining and refining of minerals on the environment; the local community and the political stability of the producing country; labor conditions in the supply chain; and the availability of and consumer attitudes about substitute products such as cubic zirconia, moissanite and lab-grown diamonds. A negative change in consumer attitudes toward jewelry could adversely impact Signet’s sales and earnings. In addition, transparency regarding substitute products such as lab-grown diamonds is important to maintaining consumer confidence. If the Company does not appropriately and adequately identify the use of the substitute products in its jewelry, its reputation and results could be adversely impacted.
Signet depends on manufacturers and suppliers to timely provide it with sufficient quantities of quality products.
Ultimate delivery of Signet’s merchandise is substantially dependent upon third-party manufacturers and suppliers. In Fiscal 2025, the five largest suppliers collectively accounted for approximately 21% of total purchases, with the largest supplier comprising approximately 6%. A manufacturer’s or supplier’s inability to manufacture or deliver a product on time and of appropriate quality would impair Signet’s ability to respond to consumer demand, which would put the Company at a competitive disadvantage and result in lost sales. Costs would also be increased if Signet were to attempt to engage replacement manufacturers to rush orders on items that the Company needed immediately. See the risk factor above titled “Public health crisis or disease outbreak, epidemic or pandemic, such as COVID-19 have had and could continue to have a significant adverse impact on our business, and this outbreak, as well as other public health crises or disease outbreaks, epidemics or pandemics, has and could continue to adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and could continue to exacerbate other risk factors.” regarding the potential adverse impact COVID-19 or other public health crisis, disease or outbreak could have on the Company’s supply chain.
Signet has close commercial relationships with a number of suppliers and management holds regular reviews with major suppliers to sustain continuity of these relationships. However, government requirements regarding sources of commodities, such as those required by the Dodd-Frank Act or sanctions on Alrosa or its management, has resulted and could continue to result in Signet choosing to terminate relationships with suppliers in the future due to a change in a supplier’s sourcing practices or Signet’s compliance with laws and internal policies. Damage to, or loss of, any of these relationships could have an adverse effect on results.
In addition, luxury and prestige watch manufacturers and distributors normally grant agencies the right to sell their ranges on a store-by-store basis. An inability to obtain or retain watch agencies for a location could harm the performance of that particular store. In the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2024, the Company substantially completed the divestiture of its UK prestige watch business to third parties. Prestige watch brands help attract customers and build sales in all categories and discontinuing the prestige watch business in Ernest Jones has negatively impacted and will continue to negatively impact the sales at Ernest Jones in all categories.

The growth in importance of other branded merchandise within the jewelry market may adversely impact Signet’s sales and earnings if it is unable to obtain supplies of or further develop branded merchandise that the customer wishes to purchase. In addition, if Signet loses the distribution rights to an important branded jewelry range or is committed to continue to carry a brand that is no longer viewed as on trend, it could adversely impact sales and earnings.
Risks Related to Technology and Security
Inadequacies in and disruption to systems could result in lower sales and increased costs or adversely impact the disclosure procedures and controls.
Signet is dependent on the suitability, reliability and durability of its systems and procedures, including its accounting, information technology, data protection, warehousing and distribution systems, and those of its service providers. If support ceased for a critical externally supplied software package or system, management would have to implement an alternative software package or system or begin supporting the software internally. Disruption to parts of the business could result in lower sales and increased costs.
Signet is in the process of substantially modifying its enterprise resource planning systems and certain web platforms, which involves updating or replacing legacy systems with successor systems and migrating some systems, data and functionality to cloud provider servers. These system changes and upgrades can require significant capital investments and dedication of resources. When evaluating and making such changes, there can be no assurances that the Company will successfully implement such changes, that significant additional investments will not be required beyond the project budget, that such changes will occur without disruptions to its operations or maintenance of its internal control compliance programs or that the new or upgraded systems will achieve the desired business objectives. Any damage, disruption or shutdown of the Company’s information systems, or the failure to successfully implement new or upgraded systems, could have a material adverse effect on Signet’s results of operations and its internal control over financial reporting.
Security breaches and other disruptions to Signet’s information technology infrastructure and databases and failure of Signet’s customer-facing technology to function as intended or in accordance with applicable law could interfere with Signet’s operations and may in the future fail or be compromised, and could compromise Signet’s and its customers’ and suppliers’ information or cause other harm, exposing Signet to possible business interruptions and liability, which would have a material adverse effect on Signet’s business and reputation.
In the ordinary course of business, Signet relies upon information technology networks and systems, some of which are managed by third parties, to process, transmit and store electronic information, and to manage or support a variety of business processes and activities, including eCommerce sales, supply chain, merchandise distribution, customer invoicing and collection of payments. Our computer systems and those of our partners and third-party service providers have been and may be in the future vulnerable to physical or electronic intrusions, computer malware, malicious code or other attacks, system failures, programming errors, employee and third-party errors or wrongdoing, and similar disruption or adverse outcomes. The failure of these systems could cause significant interruptions to our operations, which could result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Signet also uses information technology systems to record, process and summarize financial information and results of operations for internal reporting purposes and to comply with regulatory financial reporting, legal and tax requirements. Signet collects and stores this financial and other sensitive data, including intellectual property, proprietary business information, the proprietary business information of its customers and suppliers, as well as personally identifiable information of Signet’s customers and employees, in data centers and on information technology networks. Although we have implemented and maintain what we believe to be reasonable security controls to seek to prevent and detect attempts by unauthorized users to gain access to our IT systems, and incur significant costs to do so, our information technology network infrastructure has in the past been and may in the future be vulnerable to attacks by hackers, including state-sponsored organizations with significant financial and technological resources, breaches due to employee error, fraud or malice or other disruptions (including, but not limited to, computer viruses and other malware, denial of service, and ransomware), which may involve a privacy breach requiring us to notify regulators, customers or employees and enlist identity theft protection.
The secure operation of these networks, and the processing and maintenance of this information is critical to Signet’s business operations and strategy. Despite security measures and business continuity plans, Signet may not timely anticipate evolving techniques used to effect security breaches that may result in damage, disruptions or shutdowns of Signet’s and its third-party vendors’ networks and infrastructure due to attacks by hackers, including phishing or other cyber-attacks, or breaches due to employee error or malfeasance, or other non-hostile disruptions during the process of upgrading or replacing computer software or hardware, power outages, computer viruses, telecommunication or utility failures or natural disasters or other catastrophic events. The occurrence of any of these events could compromise Signet’s or the third-party’s networks and the information stored there, including personal,
24

Table of Contents
proprietary or confidential information about Signet, its customers or its third-party vendors, and personally identifiable information of Signet’s customers and employees could be accessed, manipulated, publicly disclosed, lost or stolen, exposing its customers to the risk of identity theft and exposing Signet or its third-party vendors to a risk of loss or misuse of this information.
Signet and its third-party vendors have experienced successful attacks and breaches from time to time, however, to date, these attacks or breaches have not had a material impact on Signet’s business or operations. Any such malfunction, access, disclosure or other loss of information could result in legal claims or proceedings, liability or regulatory penalties under laws protecting the privacy of personal information, significant breach-notification costs, lost sales and a disruption to operations (including the Company’s ability to process consumer transactions and manage inventories), media attention, and damage to Signet’s reputation, which could adversely affect Signet’s business. In addition, it could harm Signet’s reputation and ability to execute its business through service and business interruptions, management distraction and/or damage to physical infrastructure, which could adversely impact sales, costs and earnings. If Signet is the target of a material cybersecurity attack resulting in unauthorized disclosure of its customer data, the Company may be required to undertake costly notification and credit monitoring procedures. Compliance with these laws will likely increase the costs of doing business.
In addition, if Signet’s online activities or other customer-facing technology systems do not function as designed or are deemed to not comply with applicable state and federal regulations concerning automated outbound contacts such as text messages and the sale, advertisement and promotion of the jewelry it sells, the Company may experience a loss of customer confidence, data security breaches, regulatory fines, lawsuits, lost sales or be exposed to fraudulent purchases.
The regulatory environment related to information security, data collection and privacy is becoming increasingly demanding, with new and changing requirements applicable to Signet’s business, including the General Data Protection Regulation and the California Consumer Privacy Act, and compliance with those requirements could result in additional costs, such as costs related to organizational changes, implementing additional protection technologies, training employees and engaging consultants. In addition, the Company could be subject to claims, fines, penalties or other liabilities for a failure to comply.
Failure to manage these risks could have a material adverse effect on Signet’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flow.
The use of technology based on AI and machine learning (“ML”) presents risks related to confidentiality, creation of inaccurate and flawed outputs, and emerging regulatory risks which may result in reputational harm, competitive harm, or legal liability, and may adversely affect our business and results of operations.
The use of AI and ML involves significant technical complexity, ethical considerations and requires specialized expertise. We use AI and ML in our business to, among other things, optimize inventory distribution and flexible fulfillment. We may further incorporate AI or ML solutions into our business operations, technology systems, and product and service offerings in other ways including but not limited to personalized marketing, enhancements to website experiences or general administrative functions. Our competitors or other third parties may incorporate AI and ML into their businesses more quickly or more successfully than us, which could impair our ability to compete effectively and adversely affect our business and results of operations. Our use of technology systems or applications that utilize or are based on AI or ML (or the disruption or failure of those systems or applications) could result in the disclosure of sensitive, proprietary or confidential information which could harm our business, reputation and operating results. Additionally, if the content, analyses, or recommendations that AI or ML applications assist in producing are or are alleged to be deficient, inaccurate or biased, it may cause us to experience brand or reputational harm, competitive harm, legal liability, new or enhanced governmental or regulatory scrutiny. We may also incur additional costs to resolve such issues, each of which may adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Risks Related to Competition and Innovation
Signet’s pricing compared to that of competitors, the increased price transparency in the market and the highly fragmented competitive nature of the retail jewelry industry, may have an adverse impact on Signet’s performance.
Critical to maintaining an optimal customer experience is a multi-faceted value proposition focused on attractive brand and category assortments, availability of financing, deep customer service and relationship building with the Company’s guest service professionals, as well as competitive pricing. Although not a singular differentiator to the Company’s value proposition, if significant price increases are implemented by any segment or across a wide range of merchandise, the impact on earnings will depend on, among other factors, the pricing by competitors of similar products and the response by customers to higher prices. Such price increases may result in lower sales and adversely impact earnings.
The retail jewelry industry is competitive. Signet’s competitors are specialty jewelry retailers, as well as other jewelry retailers, including department stores, mass merchandisers, discount stores, apparel and accessory fashion stores, brand retailers, shopping clubs, home shopping television channels, direct home sellers, online retailers and auction sites. Aggressive discounting by
25

Table of Contents
competitors may adversely impact Signet’s performance in the short term. This is particularly the case for easily comparable pieces of jewelry, of similar quality, sold through stores that are situated near those that Signet operates. Signet faces significant competition from independent and regional specialty jewelry retailers that are able to adjust their competitive stance, for example on pricing, to local market conditions. This can put individual Signet stores at a competitive disadvantage as Signet segments have a national pricing strategy.
Consumers are increasingly shopping or starting their jewelry buying experience online, which makes it easier for them to compare prices and quality with other jewelry retailers. If Signet’s brands do not offer the same or a similar item at the lowest price, or if competitors offer a better and more user-friendly website experience than Signet, or financing that is easier to access or provides better terms, consumers may purchase their jewelry from competitors, which would adversely impact the Company’s sales, results of operations and market share.
An inability to successfully develop and maintain a relevant OmniChannel experience for customers, failure to anticipate changing fashion trends in the jewelry industry, and poor execution of marketing programs and management of social media could result in a loss of confidence by consumers in Signet’s brand names and have an adverse impact on sales.
Signet’s business has evolved from primarily an in-store experience to interaction with customers across numerous channels, including in-store, online, mobile and social media, among others. OmniChannel retailing is rapidly evolving and Signet must keep pace with changing customer expectations and new developments by its competitors. Signet’s customers are increasingly using computers, tablets, mobile phones and other devices to comparison shop, determine product availability and complete purchases online. Signet must compete and remain relevant by offering a consistent and convenient shopping experience for its customers regardless of the ultimate sales channel and by investing in, providing and maintaining digital tools for customers that have the right features and are reliable and easy to use.
The ability to differentiate Signet’s stores, services, online experience and merchandise from competitors by better designs, branding and category assortments and the level and quality of customer service and marketing and advertising programs, is an important factor in attracting consumers. In today’s market, this differentiation requires, among other factors, keeping pace with trends in design, as well as setting new jewelry trends, effectively implementing an OmniChannel experience, and targeting effective media campaigns, including an expansion of social media use and new social media platforms, in order to build and maintain customer confidence in the Company and in the brands it sells. As a result, the Company needs to continuously innovate and develop its OmniChannel experience and social media strategies in order to maintain broad appeal with customers and brand relevance. These initiatives may not be successful, resulting in expenses incurred without the benefit of higher revenues, increased employee engagement or brand recognition. In a distressed economic and retail environment, in which many of the Company’s competitors continue to engage in aggressive promotional activities, any failure on Signet’s part to react appropriately to changing consumer preferences and fashion trends, including the failure to plan in advance and invest in marketing and advertising campaigns, could have an adverse impact on sales.
In addition, adverse or inaccurate information concerning the Company or its brands may be posted on social media platforms at any time, and such information can quickly reach a wide audience. The harm may be immediate without affording the Company an opportunity for redress or correction, and it is challenging to monitor and anticipate developments on social media in order to respond in an effective and timely manner. The Company could also be exposed to these risks if it fails to use social media responsibly in its marketing efforts, including the improper disclosure of proprietary information, exposure of personally identifiable information, fraud, or out-of-date information. Regardless of its basis or validity, any unfavorable publicity could adversely affect public perception of Signet’s brands. These factors could have a material adverse effect on its business.
If Signet fails to make, improve, develop or acquire relevant customer-facing technology in a timely manner, fails to keep pace with trendsetting, or if the Company’s marketing and social media advertising and efforts are not to scale or do not align with consumer preferences, the customer could lose confidence in any of Signet’s brands, which could materially and adversely impact sales and earnings.
Risks Related to Asset Management
The Company’s inability to optimize its real estate footprint could adversely impact sales and earnings.
The success of Signet’s stores, as part of its Connected Commerce strategy, is dependent upon a number of factors. These include the availability of desirable property, placement of stores in easily accessible locations with high visibility, the demographic characteristics of the area around the store, the design and maintenance of the stores, the availability of attractive locations within the markets/trade areas that also meet the operational and financial criteria of management, the terms of leases and Signet’s relationship with major landlords. If Signet is unable to maintain a real estate portfolio that satisfies its strategic, operational and financial criteria,
26

Table of Contents
through cost-effective strategic store closings and targeted, limited store openings, or if there is a disruption in its relationship with its major landlords, sales could be adversely affected.
Substantially all of Signet’s retail locations are leased, requiring significant cash flow to satisfy the lease obligations. Given the typical length of retail leases, Signet is dependent upon the continued popularity of particular retail locations. Following the initial terms of each lease, it is possible that Signet will not be able to negotiate contract terms favorable to the Company for future leases. This would cause occupancy costs to rise, which would either decrease profit margins at each specific store or force Signet to close certain retail locations.
The rate of store footprint optimization is dependent on a number of factors including obtaining suitable real estate, the capital resources of Signet, the availability of appropriate staff and management, estimated sales transference rate and the level of the financial return on investment required by management.
The Company’s ability to protect its assets, particularly inventory and cash, or intellectual property could have a material adverse impact on its brands, reputation and operating results.
Signet’s jewelry products carry high value with resale potential and are therefore subject to loss by theft by customers, organized crime or other third-parties. In addition, products held by us for repair or service are also subject to risk of loss or theft. We have experienced theft in the past and loss by theft may continue or increase in the future. In addition, the security measures we take may not be effective in reducing losses. Higher rates of theft including theft by organized retail crime networks that orchestrate burglaries, “smash and grabs,” looting or shoplifting operations could adversely impact our reputation, operations and ultimately, our overall financial condition. Furthermore, other costs and expenses resulting from criminal activity such as increased security costs and measures to prevent such activity, increased repair costs and increased costs to protect, retain, replace or recruit team members that may be concerned about future crime impacting our stores or the shopping centers they operate in may also adversely impact our reputation, operations and financial condition.
The Company holds significant amounts of cash on hand or short term, highly liquid investments (i.e. cash equivalents) on its balance sheet from time to time. Credit risk exists on the realizability of these assets should the counterparties fail to perform as contracted. 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 generally only hold cash and cash equivalent investments and to transact financial instruments with financial institutions with a certain minimum credit rating. Failure, entrance into receivership or insolvency by any of these financial institutions in response to conditions affecting the banking system and financial markets could threaten our ability to access our existing cash, cash equivalents and investments and could adversely impact the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
Signet’s trade names, trademarks, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property are important assets and an essential element of our strategy. The unauthorized reproduction, theft or misappropriation of our intellectual property could diminish the value of our brands or reputation and cause a decline in sales. Protection of our intellectual property and maintenance of distinct branding are particularly important as they distinguish our products and services from those of our competitors. The costs of defending intellectual property may adversely affect our operating results. In addition, any infringement or other intellectual property claim made against us, whether or not it has merit, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, cause product delays, or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements. As a result, any such claim could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.
If the Company’s goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets or long-lived assets become impaired, the Company may be required to record significant charges to earnings.
The Company has a substantial amount of goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets on its balance sheet. The Company reviews goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets and long-lived assets for impairment annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. The impairment evaluation requires significant judgment and estimates by management, and unfavorable changes in these assumptions or other factors could result in future impairment charges and have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s reported earnings. Such factors include the operating performance and cash flows of the Company’s businesses, lower than anticipated consumer traffic, changes in customer spending behavior, uncertainties in the macroeconomic environment, inflation, interest rates, changes in the Company’s real estate strategy or other key business initiatives. Additionally, a general decline in the market valuation of the Company’s common shares, whether related to Signet’s business or overall market conditions, could adversely impact the assumptions used to perform the evaluation of its goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets and long-lived assets.
For additional information on Signet’s evaluation of impairment for goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets and long-lived assets, see “Critical Accounting Estimates” under Part II, Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock and Indebtedness
Signet’s share price may be volatile due to Signet’s results and financial condition or factors impacting the market overall, which could have a short or long-term adverse impact on an investment in Signet stock.
Signet’s share price has fluctuated and may fluctuate substantially as a result of variations in the actual or anticipated results and financial conditions of Signet and other companies in the retail industry. In addition, the stock market has experienced, and may continue to experience, price and volume fluctuations that have affected the market price of many retail and other stocks, including Signet’s, in a manner unrelated, or disproportionate, to the operating performance of these companies.
Signet provides public guidance on its expected operating and financial results for future periods. Such guidance consists of forward-looking statements subject to the risks and uncertainties described in this report and in Signet’s other public filings and public statements. Signet’s actual results may be below the provided guidance or the expectations of Signet’s investors and analysts, especially in times of economic uncertainty. In the past, when the Company has reduced its outlook related to certain measures in its previously provided guidance, the market price of its common stock has declined. If, in the future, Signet’s operating or financial results for a particular period do not meet guidance or the expectations of investors and analysts or if Signet reduces its outlook related to certain measures in its guidance for future periods, the market price of its common stock may decline. In addition, if the analysts that regularly follow the Company’s stock lower their rating or lower their projections for future growth and financial performance, the Company’s stock price could decline.
Shareholder activists could cause a disruption to our business.
We have been subject to shareholder activism and may be subject to such activism in the future. For example, on February 27, 2025, Select Equity Group, L.P. filed a Schedule 13D with the SEC advocating for, among other things, the Company to explore strategic options for the business, including its sale. Shareholder activism against the Company could lead to increased costs (e.g., third-party advisors, insurance, and administrative expenses), reputational damage, and business disruptions. It may create uncertainties about our direction, harming relationships with investors, customers, suppliers, and employees, and make it harder to attract and retain talent. Additionally, it could delay or hinder the execution of our business strategy, divert management's focus, and cause stock price fluctuations based on market perceptions rather than fundamentals. Such activism could negatively impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
The Company’s ability to borrow is important to its operations and financial covenants, credit ratings and interest rate volatility could all impact the availability of such debt and could adversely impact the Company’s financial results.
The Company’s primary sources of liquidity are cash on hand, cash provided by operations and availability under its asset-based credit facility. The Company’s ability to borrow and maintain adequate cash flow is necessary to sustain its operations, particularly given the seasonal fluctuations in inventory and staffing requirements and the concentration of sales in the fourth quarter. The Company’s debt obligations also require maintaining sufficient cash flow to make continuing payment obligations for interest and dividends. Because a large portion of its financing is asset-based and secured, the Company’s ability to draw funds is dependent on maintaining a sufficient borrowing base and it is subject to the risk of loss of such assets to foreclosure or sale to satisfy its debt obligations.
Signet’s borrowing agreements include various financial and other covenants. A material deterioration in its financial performance could result in a breach of these covenants. In the event of a breach, the Company would have to renegotiate terms with its current lenders or find alternative sources of financing if current lenders required cancellation of facilities or early repayment. In addition, these covenants, in some cases, limit the Company’s flexibility to adapt its operations to changing conditions. Terms under the Company’s asset-based credit facility include exposure to variable interest rate debt and volatility in benchmark interest rates could adversely impact the Company’s financial results.
Additionally, credit rating agencies periodically review Signet’s capital structure and the quality and stability of the Company’s earnings, and should Signet need to obtain more financing, a credit rating downgrade would make it more difficult, expensive and restrictive to do so. Changes in general credit market conditions could also affect Signet’s ability to access capital at rates and on terms determined to be attractive.
If Signet’s ability to access capital becomes constrained, it may not be able to adequately fund its ongoing operations, dividends and share repurchases or planned initiatives and the Company’s interest costs will likely increase, which could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Risks Related to Human Capital
The Company’s ability to recruit, train, motivate and retain suitably qualified sales associates could adversely impact sales and earnings.
Management regards the customer experience as an essential element in the success of its business. Competition for suitable sales associates or changes in labor and healthcare laws could require Signet to incur higher labor costs. A shortage of qualified individuals, higher labor costs and the execution of strategic initiatives, including those designed to improve the customer experience, could result in disruptions to the performance of sales associates and an inability to recruit, train, motivate and retain suitably qualified sales associates, which could adversely impact sales and earnings. Likewise, there are risks associated with attracting and retaining key executive talent during periods of leadership transition, such as our recent appointment of a new CEO and other recent changes in senior leadership from the reorganization under our Grow Brand Love strategy.
Signet’s success is dependent on the strength and effectiveness of its relationships with its various stakeholders. The Company’s management of its 2030 CSGs as well as changing demand for sustainability initiatives and disclosures could result in additional costs or risks.
We have established and publicly announced 2030 CSGs including commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and protect human rights. These statements reflect integration with our business planning and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside our control. The ability for companies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is dependent on the energy infrastructure of the US, namely the availability and cost of low or non-carbon-based energy sources for our physical locations as well as the availability of low or non-carbon transportation.
Signet carefully considers a wide range of factors, including stakeholder expectations, regulatory requirements, business goals, and corporate strategies in forming our CSGs and when investing resources in initiatives, disclosures, processes and tools. Standards for tracking and reporting CSG performance continue to evolve. Signet has revised and may continue to reassess and modify CSG goals based on changes to our Company purpose, business objectives, stakeholder expectations and the regulatory environment. Signet may be subject to consumer boycotts from customers on both sides of the ideological spectrum. Any changes to the CSGs may be perceived as a retraction or deviation from our core values. The voluntary disclosure frameworks and standards we select, and the interpretation or application of those frameworks and standards, may be subject to change and may be different from our peers. Further, the methodologies we use for reporting CSG performance may be updated and our previously reported data may be adjusted to reflect improvements in data that is available to us, changing assumptions, changes in our operations and other changes in circumstances. Our processes and controls for reporting such matters across our operations and supply chain are continually evolving as are the differing standards for identifying, measuring, and reporting sustainability-related disclosures that may be required by government agencies. Preparation for the State of California climate disclosure rules is expected to require additional resources for compliance. Signet will always prioritize legally required disclosures such as greenhouse gas emissions calculations over voluntary frameworks.
Consequently, it is possible that we may fail to achieve our 2030 CSGs or that our customers, team members, investors, advocacy groups, government agencies or other stakeholders may not be satisfied with the CSGs we set or our efforts to achieve them. Our failure, or perceive failure, to adequately achieve, update or accurately track and report on these CSGs on a timely basis, or at all, could adversely affect our reputation, financial performance and growth, and may expose us to adverse consumer actions, inhibit our ability to attract and retain talent, and subject us to increased scrutiny from the investment community, special interest groups and enforcement authorities.
Collective bargaining activity could disrupt the Company’s operations, increase labor costs or interfere with the ability of management to focus on executing business strategies.
The employees of Signet’s diamond polishing factory in Gaborone, Botswana are covered by a collective bargaining agreement. If relationships with these employees become adverse, operations at the factory could experience labor disruptions such as strikes, lockouts, boycotts and public demonstrations, which could negatively impact the Company’s diamond supply, increase costs and cause negative publicity. Labor regulation and the negotiation of new or existing collective bargaining agreements could lead to higher wage and benefit costs, changes in work rules that raise operating expenses, legal costs and limitations on the Company’s ability to take cost-saving measures during economic downturns. Any of these cost increases and constraints on Signet’s operations could adversely impact its results of operations. Further, collective bargaining activity in other industries, such as various union strikes in the UK that were announced in December 2022 by postal and travel workers, may adversely affect traffic to our stores or delivery of online orders and in turn negatively impact our sales.

Risks Related to Compliance
The Company’s exposure to legal proceedings, tax matters, and/or regulatory or other investigations could reduce earnings and cash, as well as negatively impact debt covenants, leverage ratios and its reputation and divert management attention.
Signet is involved in legal proceedings incidental to its business. Litigation is inherently unpredictable. Any actual or potential claims against us, whether meritorious or not, or regulatory or other investigations, could be time consuming, result in costly litigation or litigation settlements, require significant amounts of management time, negatively impact Signet’s reputation and result in the diversion of significant operational resources. In addition, while Signet maintains insurance to cover various types of liabilities and loss, such coverage may not be sufficient to cover the full extent of any damages and expenses and the timing of any reimbursement may not correspond to the liabilities accrued or incurred.
At any point in time, various tax years are subject to, or are in the process of, audit by various taxing authorities. To the extent that management’s estimates of the final tax outcome of these matters is different than the amounts recorded, such differences will impact income tax in the period in which such determinations are made. For example, should His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs, or other tax authorities, assess Signet and should the tax authorities prevail in such assessments, there could be a material adverse impact on our results of operations and cash flows in future periods.
Failure to comply with labor regulations could adversely affect the Company’s business.
Various state, federal and global laws and regulations govern Signet’s relationship with its employees. Some examples of these laws include requirements related to minimum wage, sick pay, overtime pay, paid time off, workers’ compensation rates, and healthcare reform. These laws and regulations change frequently, and the ultimate cost of compliance cannot be precisely estimated. Failure by Signet to comply with labor regulations could result in fines and legal actions. In addition, the ability to recruit and retain staff could be harmed. These consequences could adversely affect the Company’s business.
The Company’s ability to comply with laws and regulations and adapt to changes thereto could adversely affect its business.
Signet’s policies and procedures are designed to comply with applicable laws and regulations. Changing legal and regulatory requirements in the US and other jurisdictions in which Signet operates have increased the complexity of the regulatory environment in which the business operates and the cost of compliance. Failure to comply with the various regulatory requirements may result in damage to Signet’s reputation, civil and criminal proceedings and liability, fines and penalties, and further increase the cost of regulatory compliance.
Changes in existing taxation laws, rules or practices may adversely affect the Company’s financial results.
The Company operates through various subsidiaries in numerous countries throughout the world. Consequently, Signet is subject to changes in tax laws, treaties or regulations or the interpretation or enforcement thereof in the US or jurisdictions where any subsidiaries operate or are incorporated. Tax laws, treaties and regulations are highly complex and subject to interpretation. The Company’s income tax expense is based upon interpretation of the tax laws in effect in various countries at the time such expense was incurred. If these tax laws, treaties or regulations, including the recent Bermuda Corporate Income Tax Act of 2023, were to change or any tax authority were to successfully challenge Signet’s assessment of the effects of such laws, treaties and regulations in any country, this could result in a higher effective tax rate on the Company’s taxable earnings, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations.
In addition, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) has led international efforts to devise, and to implement on a permanent basis, a two-pillar solution to address the tax challenges arising from the digitalization of the economy. Pillar One focuses on nexus and profit allocation, and Pillar Two provides for a global minimum effective corporate tax rate of 15%. Pillar One would apply to multinational enterprises with annual global revenue above 20 billion euros and profitability above 10%, with the revenue threshold potentially reduced to 10 billion euros in the future. Based on these thresholds, we currently expect to be outside the scope of the Pillar One proposals, though we anticipate that we will be subject to Pillar One in the future if our global revenue exceeds the Pillar One thresholds. In December 2021, the OECD published detailed rules that define the scope of the Pillar Two global minimum effective tax rate proposal. A number of countries, including the UK, have adopted the core elements of the Pillar Two proposal effective for years beginning in 2024, and the European Union has adopted a Council Directive which requires certain Pillar Two rules to be transposed into member states’ national laws from such time. Based on our current understanding of the minimum revenue thresholds contained in the proposed Pillar Two rules, we expect that we may be within their scope and so their implementation could impact the amount of tax we have to pay. In January 2025, the OECD published revised guidance which included revisions to the treatment of deferred tax assets under Pillar Two for companies with cross-border operations such as Signet. If Bermuda, or jurisdictions in which Signet operates, adopt revisions to their tax code related to this updated OECD guidance, those
30

Table of Contents
revisions may override, reduce or eliminate the deferred tax asset that Signet recorded in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2024 related to the enactment of Bermuda’s Corporate Income Tax Act of 2023. Additionally, these changes may result in unilateral or uncoordinated local country application of the action items. Any such inconsistencies in the tax laws of countries where the Company operates or is incorporated may lead to increased uncertainty with respect to tax positions or otherwise increase the potential for double taxation. Proposals for US tax reform also potentially could have a significant adverse effect on us. In addition, the European Commission has conducted investigations in multiple countries focusing on whether local country tax legislation or rulings provide preferential tax treatment in violation of European Union state aid rules. Any impacts of these actions could increase the Company’s tax liabilities, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.
International laws and regulations and foreign taxes could impact Signet’s ability to continue sourcing and manufacturing materials for its products on a global scale.
Signet is engaged in sourcing and manufacturing on a global scale, and as such, could be impacted by foreign governmental laws and regulations, foreign duties, taxes, and other charges on importing products, and international shipping delays or disruptions. Signet’s global operations are also subject to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other such anti-corruption laws. Additionally, labor relations and general political conditions in the countries where Signet sources and manufactures its materials could impact the ultimate shipment and receipt of such supplies and products.
Stakeholders may face difficulties in enforcing proceedings against Signet Jewelers Limited as it is domiciled in Bermuda.
It is doubtful whether courts in Bermuda would enforce judgments obtained by investors in other jurisdictions, including the US, Canada and the UK, against the Parent Company or its directors or officers under the securities laws of those jurisdictions or entertain actions in Bermuda against the Parent Company or its directors or officers under the securities laws of other jurisdictions.
ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

ITEM 1C. CYBERSECURITY
Risk management and strategy
Signet recognizes the importance cybersecurity has to the success of our business. We also recognize the need to continually assess cybersecurity risk and evolve our response in the face of a rapidly and ever-changing environment. Accordingly, we aim to protect our business operations, including customer records and information, against known and evolving cybersecurity threats.
Signet manages cybersecurity risk using a cross-functional approach, which is overseen by the Company’s Board. The Company’s cyber risk management program is designed to anticipate, identify, assess, manage, mitigate, and respond to cybersecurity threats. This program is integrated within the Company’s enterprise risk management processes and addresses the store and corporate information technology environments, as well as third-party vendors, software, and applications upon which we rely.
The underlying controls of the cyber risk management program are based on recognized best practices and standards for cybersecurity and information technology, including the National Institute of Standards and Technology (“NIST”) Cybersecurity Framework (“CSF”). Signet conducts periodic assessments against the NIST CSF and reviews key cybersecurity risks, utilizing a third party to perform this assessment of the Company’s cyber risk management program. The risk assessments, together with risk-based analysis and judgment, are used to determine security controls to address identified risks. Signet has strategically integrated cybersecurity risk management into the Company’s policies and broader enterprise risk management framework to promote a company-wide culture of cybersecurity. Signet considers the following factors, among others, during the process of determining how to address risks and which controls to implement: likelihood and severity of the risk; the impact on the Company, the Company’s customers, employees, and shareholders; and if a risk materializes, the feasibility and cost of controls and the impact of controls on operations.
Signet has a cybersecurity operations program that monitors its global cybersecurity environment and coordinates the investigation and remediation of cybersecurity alerts. In the event of a cybersecurity incident, the Chief Information Security Officer (“CISO”) is equipped with an incident response plan that includes immediate actions designed to mitigate the impact and long-term strategies for remediation and prevention of future incidents. We frequently stage incident response drills to prepare support teams to respond to a significant incident. The Company’s information security program includes the following specific controls that are used to some extent: endpoint threat detection and response; identity and access management; privileged access management; logging and monitoring involving the use of security information and event management; multi-factor authentication; firewalls and intrusion detection and prevention; and vulnerability and patch management, as well as policy and technical controls governing the use of AI.
Signet partners with leading cybersecurity companies and organizations, leveraging third-party technology and expertise. Signet engages with these partners to provide or operate technical controls and technology systems, monitor, and maintain the performance and effectiveness of products and services deployed in Signet’s environment, and conduct vulnerability scans and penetration testing.
31

Table of Contents
Signet also maintains a risk-based approach for assessing, identifying, and managing risks from cybersecurity threats associated with third-party service providers, third-party software, third-party applications and other companies with whom we do business (such as our outsourced credit card partners). Signet utilizes industry standard tools to assess the criticality of software, data assets, and operational technology. We conduct security assessments of high-risk third-party service providers before engagement to ensure compliance with our cybersecurity standards, including review of the service providers’ System and Organization Controls (SOC) report to assess their cybersecurity controls and risk assessment. This approach is designed to mitigate risks related to data breaches or other security incidents originating from or otherwise due to reliance on third parties.
Signet faces risks from cybersecurity threats that could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or reputation. Signet does not believe that risks from cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any previous cybersecurity incidents, have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our overall business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. However, Signet (or third parties on which Signet relies) may not be able to implement security controls fully, continuously and effectively as designed or intended. As described above, the Company utilizes a risk-based approach and judgment to determine the security controls to implement, and it is possible that Signet may not implement appropriate controls if management does not recognize, or underestimates, a particular risk. In addition, security controls, no matter how well designed or implemented, may only partially mitigate, but not fully eliminate, risks. Security events, when detected by security tools or third parties, may not always be immediately understood or acted upon by the Company (or by third parties on which Signet relies). See the “Risk Factors” section in Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional discussion of our cybersecurity risks.
Governance
Signet’s cybersecurity program is run by our CISO, who is the head of the Company’s cybersecurity team, and who reports to Signet’s Chief Information Officer (“CIO”). The CISO is responsible for assessing and managing Signet’s cybersecurity risk management program, regularly informing senior management regarding the prevention, detection, mitigation, and remediation of cybersecurity incidents and supervising such efforts. Our CISO and CIO have extensive experience assessing and managing cybersecurity programs and cybersecurity risk. Our CISO has served in this position with Signet since 2018, was previously CISO at multiple Fortune 500 retail and hospitality organizations and held senior cybersecurity management roles in the financial services industry. The Signet cybersecurity team supporting the CISO has experience selecting, deploying, and operating cybersecurity technologies, initiatives, and processes around the world, and relies on threat intelligence as well as other information obtained from governmental, public, or private sources, including external consultants engaged by Signet. In addition, a cross-functional management committee has been established to assess cybersecurity breaches, should they occur, to determine whether a breach is material and requires disclosure.
The Governance and Technology Committee of the Board (“GTC”) oversees Signet’s cybersecurity risk exposures and the steps taken by management to monitor and mitigate cybersecurity risks. Two of the members of our GTC are technology executives employed at their respective organizations who are highly technology-fluent and well-versed on cyber risks. The CISO and CIO regularly brief the GTC on the effectiveness of Signet’s cyber risk management program and risk status. In addition, cybersecurity risks are reviewed by the Board, at least annually, as part of the Company’s corporate risk-mapping exercise. In addition to scheduled meetings, the GTC, CISO and CIO maintain an ongoing dialogue regarding emerging or potential cybersecurity risks. Together, they receive updates on any significant developments in the cybersecurity domain, ensuring the Board’s oversight is proactive and responsive.

Global retail property
Signet attributes great importance to the location and appearance of its stores. Accordingly, in each of Signet’s brands, investment decisions on selecting sites and refurbishing stores are made centrally, and strict real estate and investment criteria are applied. Below is a summary of Signet’s retail operations by geography and reportable segment as of February 1, 2025:

| North America |  | International |  | Signet
US | 2,288 |  |  | — |  |  | 2,288 |
Canada | 91 |  |  | — |  |  | 91 |
UK | — |  |  | 255 |  |  | 255 |
Republic of Ireland | — |  |  | 8 |  |  | 8 |
Total | 2,379 |  |  | 263 |  |  | 2,642 |

North America retail property
Signet’s North America segment operates stores and kiosks in the US and Canada, with substantially all of the locations being leased. In addition to a minimum annual rent cost, mall stores may be required to pay rent based on sales above a specified base level. Under the terms of a typical lease, the Company is required to conform and maintain its usage to agreed standards and is responsible for its proportionate share of expenses associated with common area maintenance, utilities and taxes of the location.
33

Table of Contents
Towards the end of a lease, Signet evaluates whether to renew a lease and refit the store, using similar operational and investment criteria as for a new store. Where the Company is uncertain whether the location will meet its required return on investment, but the store is profitable, the lease may be renewed for an appropriate amount of time and reconsidered for investment at a later date based on the store’s performance. The Company not only monitors the stores’ performance but also monitors other factors such as trade area and mall grade and condition, as well as co-tenancy. The cost of remodels and refurbishments can vary greatly by scope, location and age of store.
Below is a summary of lease and cost information for stores and kiosks in the North America segment as of February 1, 2025:

| Typical Initial Lease Term |  | Average Unexpired Lease Term |  | Typical Cost of New Store
Kay |  |  |  |  |
Mall | 5 years |  | 2 years |  | $0.6 million to $1.0 million
Off-mall | 5 years |  | 3 years |  | $0.5 million to $0.9 million
Zales |  |  |  |  |
Mall | 5 years |  | 2 years |  | $0.7 million to $1.1 million
Off-mall | 5 years |  | 2 years |  | $0.5 million to $0.7 million
Jared | 10 to 20 years |  | 4 years |  | $2.2 million to $3.2 million
Diamonds Direct | 10 to 20 years |  | 9 years |  | $2.0 million to $4.0 million
Blue Nile | 5 to 10 years |  | 5 years |  | $1.4 million to $1.9 million
Banter |  |  |  |  |
In-line | 3 to 5 years |  | 1 year |  | $0.3 million to $0.5 million
Kiosk | 3 to 5 years |  | 1 year |  | $0.1 million to $0.2 million

In the US, the North America segment collectively leases approximately 30% of store and kiosk locations from two lessors. In Canada, approximately 66% of store locations are leased from five lessors, with no individual lessor relationship exceeding 16%. The segment had no other relationship with any lessor relating to 10% or more of its locations.
During the past five fiscal years, the Company generally has been successful in renewing its store leases as they expire and has not experienced difficulty in securing suitable locations for its stores. No store lease is individually material to Signet’s operations.
International retail property
The International segment’s stores are generally leased under full repairing and insuring leases (equivalent to triple net leases in the US). Wherever possible, Signet is shortening the length of new leases that it enters into or including break clauses in order to improve the flexibility of its lease commitments. As of February 1, 2025, the average unexpired lease term of International premises was four years, and a majority of leases had either break clauses or terms expiring within five years. Rents are usually subject to upward review every five years if market conditions so warrant. An increasing proportion of rents also have an element related to the sales of a store, subject to a minimum annual value.
At the end of the lease period, subject to certain limited exceptions, leaseholders in the UK generally have statutory rights to enter into a new lease of the premises on negotiated terms. As current leases expire, Signet believes that it will be able to renew leases, if desired, for present store locations or to obtain leases in equivalent or improved locations in the same general area. Signet has not experienced difficulty in securing leases for suitable locations for its International stores.
A typical International segment store undergoes a remodel or refurbishment every five to ten years. The cost of remodeling a regular store is typically between $0.4 million and $0.8 million for both H.Samuel and Ernest Jones, while remodels in prestigious locations could exceed these amounts.
The International segment has no relationship with any lessor relating to 10% or more of its store locations. No store lease is individually material to Signet’s operations.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The discussion and analysis in this Item 7 is intended to provide the reader with information that will assist in understanding the significant factors affecting the Company’s consolidated operating results, financial condition, liquidity and capital resources. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8. This discussion contains forward-looking statements and information. The Company's actual results could materially differ from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to those differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this report, particularly in “Forward-Looking Statements” above as well as the “Risk Factors” section within Item 1A.
This management's discussion and analysis provides comparisons of material changes in the consolidated financial statements for Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024. For a comparison of Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023, refer to Item 7 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 3, 2024 filed with the SEC on March 21, 2024.
OVERVIEW
Overall performance
Signet’s sales decreased by 5.8% during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2025 compared to the same period in Fiscal 2024. During the fourth quarter, the Company saw positive factors in bridal units, overall merchandise average unit retail (“AUR”) in both bridal and fashion, based on the continued newness of the product offering, and strong performance in services which continues to outpace merchandise. However, these favorable impacts were more than offset by merchandise assortment gaps at key gifting price points during the Holiday Season, as well as the impact of store closures and the impact of the 14th week compared to prior year fourth quarter. The fourth quarter was also unfavorably impacted by lower traffic post re-platforming related to search engine optimization at the Digital brands. During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2025, the Company’s AUR increased by 7.9% in the North America reportable segment and increased by 7.0% in the International reportable segment. The AUR in North America was bolstered by the newness in Signet’s product assortment, particularly in fashion, which was able to offset the impacts of competitive pricing pressure, particularly in bridal. Same store sales in the International reportable segment were down 1.5% in the fourth quarter driven by lower units compared to prior year. Reported sales in the fourth quarter were also partially impacted by the previously disclosed divestiture of the UK prestige watch business in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2024, which carried products at high price points.
Refer to the “Results of Operations” section below for additional information on performance during the fourth quarter and full year Fiscal 2025.
Grow Brand Love strategy
In Fiscal 2026, the Company launched its Grow Brand Love strategy. This transformative strategy focuses on accelerating growth and builds on a strong core foundation to create shareholder value. In addition, this strategy emphasizes style and product innovation, captivating experiences, and Brand loyalty while harnessing centralized core capabilities. The Company has identified three strategic imperatives as part of the Grow Brand Love framework: shifting from banners to Brand mindset; growing our core business and expanding into adjacent categories; and organizational realignment to accelerate strategy execution.
See the Purpose & Strategy section within Item 1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.
Fiscal 2026 Outlook
The Company anticipates same store sales to be down 2.5% to up 1.5% for Fiscal 2026 providing some variability in an uncertain consumer spending environment. The Company believes it can continue to make progress on gifting and bridal at key price points and capitalize on the growth of engagements seen in January and in the first quarter to date in Fiscal 2026. The Company believes that under its new Grow Brand Love strategy it can grow through style and product innovation, captivating customer experiences, and building Brand loyalty, while harnessing and building on centralized core capabilities and leveraging the benefits of its scale through its new optimized structure. The Company will also be leaning into the largest and fastest growing segment of the jewelry market by accelerating its presence in self-purchase and gifting while working to expand its share in core bridal.
The Company continues to monitor the impacts of certain macroeconomic factors on its business, such as inflation and the Russia-Ukraine and Middle East conflicts. Signet operates quality control and technology centers in Israel, and to date, these operations have not been impacted by the geopolitical conflict in the Middle East. While the Company currently does not expect disruptions to its operations in Israel to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, the Company will continue to closely monitor this conflict and any impacts on its business, as well as its team members in Israel. Uncertainties exist that could impact the Company’s results of operations or cash flows in the future, such as competitive pricing pressure, including lab-grown diamonds, continued inflationary impacts to the Company (including, but not limited to, materials, labor, fulfillment and advertising costs) or adverse shifts in consumer discretionary spending, slower than anticipated recovery of engagements, deterioration of consumer credit, supply chain disruptions to the Company’s business, the Company’s ability to recruit and retain qualified team members, or organized retail crime and its impact to mall traffic. In addition, the Company will monitor potential impacts of changes to US economic policy, including taxes and tariffs, as a result of the new administration. See “Forward-Looking Statements” above as well as the “Risk Factors” section within Item 1A.

Market and operating conditions
The Company faces a highly competitive and dynamic retail landscape throughout the geographies where it does business, as well as a challenging global macro-economic environment as described above impacting the jewelry industry. Refer to Item 1 for additional information on the Company’s business, markets and strategy.
Exchange translation impact
Monthly average exchange rates are used to prepare the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. In Fiscal 2026, it is anticipated a five percent movement in the British pound to US dollar exchange rate would impact the Company’s income before income taxes by approximately $0.2 million, while a five percent movement in the Canadian dollar to US dollar exchange rate would impact the Company’s income before income taxes by approximately $0.6 million.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Fiscal 2025 Overview
Similar to many other retailers, Signet follows the retail 4-4-5 reporting calendar, which included an extra week in the fourth quarter and fiscal year periods of Fiscal 2024 (the “14 th week” and “53 rd week”, respectively). The extra week added $103.2 million in sales in the fourth quarter and full year Fiscal 2024. Fiscal 2025 was a 52-week reporting period.
Same store sales
Management considers same store sales useful as it is a major benchmark used by investors to judge performance within the retail industry. Same store sales is calculated by comparison of sales in stores that were open in both the current and the prior fiscal year. Sales from stores that have been open for less than 12 months are excluded from the comparison until their 12-month anniversary. Similarly, sales from acquired businesses made within the last 12 months are excluded from the comparison until their 12-month anniversary. Sales from stores that were acquired during the period and have not been included in the Company’s results for both the current and prior period presented are also excluded from same store sales. Sales after the 12-month anniversary are compared against the equivalent prior period sales within the comparable store sales comparison. Stores closed in the current financial period are included up to the date of closure and the comparative period is correspondingly adjusted. Stores that have been relocated or expanded, but remain within the same local geographic area, are included within the comparison with no adjustment to either the current or comparative period. Stores that have been refurbished are also included within the comparison except for the period when the refurbishment was taking place, when those stores are excluded from the comparison both for the current year and for the comparative period. Same store sales are also impacted by certain accounting adjustments to sales, primarily related to the deferral of revenue from the Company’s extended service plans.
eCommerce sales include all sales with customers that originate online, including direct to customer, ship to store, and BOPIS. eCommerce sales are included in the calculation of same store sales for the period and the comparative figures from the 12-month anniversary of the launch of the relevant website. Brick and mortar same store sales are calculated by removing the eCommerce sales from the same store sales calculation described above. Comparisons at the divisional level are made in local currency and consolidated comparisons are made at constant exchange rates and exclude the effect of exchange rate movements by recalculating the prior period results as if they had been generated at the weighted average exchange rate for the current period.
The 14 th and 53 rd weeks are excluded from same store sales in the fiscal year in which it occurs. In the subsequent fiscal year, same store sales is calculated by aligning the sales weeks of the current period to the equivalent sales weeks in the prior fiscal year period.
Cost of sales and gross margin
Cost of sales consists primarily of the following expense categories:
•Merchandise costs, net of discounts and allowances;
•Cost of services, including the cost of replacement components, repair supplies and related compensation and benefits for employees directly associated with performing the service;
•Store operating and occupancy costs such as rent, utilities, real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance (including common area maintenance), depreciation and amortization; and
•Distribution and inventory-related costs, including freight, processing, inventory scrap, shrinkage and related compensation and benefits.
As the classification of cost of sales or selling, general and administrative expenses varies from retailer to retailer, Signet’s gross margin percentage may not be directly comparable to other retailers.
Factors that influence gross margin include pricing, promotional environment, changes in merchandise costs, changes in non-merchandise components of cost of sales (as described above), changes in sales mix, foreign exchange, and the economics of services such as repairs and extended service plans. The price of diamonds varies depending on their size, cut, color and clarity.

Table of Contents
Signet primarily uses an average cost inventory methodology and, as jewelry inventory turns slowly, the impact of movements in inventory costs takes time to be fully reflected in gross margin. Signet’s inventory turns faster in the fourth quarter, therefore, changes in the cost of merchandise are more impactful on the gross margin in that quarter. An increase in inventory turnover would accelerate the rate at which commodity costs impact gross margin.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”)
SG&A is mostly composed of store staff and store administrative costs as well as advertising and promotional costs. It also includes centralized administrative expenses such as information technology, credit costs and other administrative operating expenses not specifically categorized elsewhere in the consolidated statements of operations.
The primary drivers of staffing costs are the number of full-time equivalent team members and the level of compensation, payroll taxes, benefits and incentives. Management varies, on a store by store basis, the hours worked based on the expected level of selling activity, subject to minimum staffing levels required to operate the store. Non-store staffing levels are less variable. A significant element of compensation is performance-based and is primarily dependent on sales and operating profit.
The level of advertising expenditures can vary year over year. In order to evolve its marketing allocations based on consumer habits, business needs, and maximize return on its advertising investments, the Company primarily focuses its spend on digital and social marking, supplemented by targeted national television advertising.
Other operating (expense) income, net
Other operating (expense) income, net primarily consists of miscellaneous operating income and expense items such as litigation settlements, restructuring charges, gains or losses on the sale of assets (including divestitures), foreign currency gains and losses, and gains and losses from undesignated derivative contracts. See Note 21 in Item 8 for further detail on the Company’s other operating (expense) income, net.

Fiscal year sales
Signet’s total sales decreased 6.5% to $6.70 billion compared to $7.17 billion in the prior year. Signet’s same store sales decreased 3.4%, compared to a decrease of 11.6% in the prior year. These declines were driven primarily by a slower than expected engagement recovery, store closures and the prestige watch divestiture in the UK, integration challenges at the Digital brands in the first half of the year, the impact of the macro environment on consumer spending, and the impact of the 53 rd week as noted above.
eCommerce sales year to date were $1.52 billion, down $118.7 million or 7.2% compared to $1.64 billion in the prior year. eCommerce sales accounted for 22.7% of year to date sales, down slightly from 22.9% of total sales in the prior year. The decrease in total eCommerce sales was driven by the challenges in the Digital brands noted above. Brick and mortar same store sales decreased 2.9% when compared with the prior period.

North America sales
The North America reportable segment’s total sales were $6.30 billion compared to $6.70 billion in the prior year, down 6.0%. This decrease was primarily driven by the impact of the macro environment on consumer spending, integration challenges at the Digital brands during the first half of the year, the impact of the 53rd week as noted above, and the decline in the bridal category, driven by the slower than expected engagement recovery. Same store sales decreased 3.6% compared to a decrease of 11.9% in the prior year. North America’s AUR increased 3.3% compared to the prior year, from $390 to $403, while the number of units decreased 7.4%.
International sales
The International reportable segment’s total sales decreased 13.4%, or 15.0% at constant exchange rates, to $373.2 million compared to $430.7 million in the prior year, primarily due to the impact of the divestiture of the prestige watch business in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2024 and the impact of store closures. The number of units decreased 8.0% and AUR decreased 2.8% over prior year.
Fourth quarter sales
Signet’s total sales decreased 5.8% year over year to $2.4 billion in the fourth quarter. Same store sales decreased 1.1%, compared to a decrease of 9.6% in the prior year quarter. These decreases were primarily the result of merchandise assortment gaps at key gifting price points, which were partially offset by increased AUR in fashion and bridal. Additionally, the decrease in total reported sales was also impacted by store closures and the impact of the 14th week as noted above.
eCommerce sales in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2025 were $562.3 million, down $31.1 million or 5.2% compared to $593.4 million in the prior year fourth quarter, primarily due to lower traffic post re-platforming related to search engine optimization at the Digital brands noted above. eCommerce sales accounted for 23.9% of fourth quarter sales, up slightly from 23.8% of total sales in the prior year fourth quarter.

Table of Contents
North America sales
The North America reportable segment’s total sales were $2.2 billion compared to $2.4 billion in the prior year quarter, or a decrease of 5.6%. This decrease was primarily the result of merchandise assortment gaps at key gifting price points, which were partially offset by increased AUR in fashion and bridal. The number of units decreased 8.5% year over year. Additionally, the decrease in total reported sales was also impacted by the 14th week as noted above. Same store sales decreased 1.1% compared to a decrease of 10.0% from the prior year quarter.
International sales
The International reportable segment’s total sales decreased 10.9%, or 11.0% at constant exchange rates, to $126.2 million compared to $141.7 million in the prior year quarter, primarily due to the impact of store closures. The number of units decreased 6.1% and AUR increased 7.0% year over year. Same store sales decreased 1.5% compared to a decrease of 1.0% in the prior year quarter.
Gross margin
Gross margin for Fiscal 2025 was $2.6 billion or 39.2% of sales compared to $2.8 billion or 39.4% of sales in Fiscal 2024. In the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2025, gross margin was $1.00 billion or 42.6% of sales compared to $1.08 billion or 43.3% of sales in the prior year fourth quarter. The decrease in gross margin rate for both the Fiscal 2025 and fourth quarter comparative periods reflects the deleveraging of fixed costs on lower sales volume partially offset by higher merchandise margins, driven by increased AUR, growth in services, product newness and higher fashion penetration.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
SG&A for Fiscal 2025 was $2.12 billion or 31.7% of sales compared to $2.20 billion or 30.6% of sales in Fiscal 2024. In the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2025 SG&A was $639.2 million or 27.2% of sales compared to $671.9 million or 26.9% of sales in the prior year fourth quarter. The increase in SG&A as a percentage of sales for both the Fiscal 2025 and fourth quarter comparative periods was driven by higher advertising expense and deleverage of fixed costs, primarily the fixed portion of labor. In addition, the second half of Fiscal 2025 included approximately $8.0 million of leadership transition costs, including $6.0 million in the fourth quarter.
Asset impairments, net
During Fiscal 2025, the Company recorded pre-tax asset impairments related to the impairment of long-lived assets and intangible assets of $372.0 million, of which $366.5 million was related to the impairment of the goodwill and indefinite-lived trade names for Diamonds Direct and the Digital brands and $5.5 million was related to the impairment of long-lived assets. During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2025, the Company recorded pre-tax asset impairments of $202.7 million, primarily related to the impairment of the goodwill of the Digital brands and indefinite-lived trade names for the Digital brands and Diamonds Direct.
During Fiscal 2024, the Company recorded pre-tax asset impairments related to the impairment of long-lived assets and intangible assets of $9.1 million. During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2024, the Company recorded pre-tax asset impairments of $3.4 million, primarily related to intangible assets.
See Note 14 of Item 8 for additional information on the asset impairments.
Other operating (expense) income, net
In Fiscal 2025, other operating expense was $20.3 million compared to income of $2.9 million in Fiscal 2024. Fiscal 2025 was primarily driven by restructuring charges of $11.5 million and foreign exchange losses of $2.2 million. Fiscal 2024 was primarily driven by the net gain on divestitures of $12.3 million partially offset by restructuring charges of $7.5 million and foreign exchange losses of $3.0 million.
In the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2025, other operating expense was $7.1 million compared to income of $10.3 million in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2024. The fourth quarter of Fiscal 2025 included restructuring charges of $0.5 million and foreign exchange losses of $0.8 million. The fourth quarter of Fiscal 2024 was primarily driven by the net gain on divestitures of $13.6 million partially offset by restructuring charges of $1.9 million.
See Note 4, Note 21 and Note 26 of Item 8 for additional information.
Operating income
In Fiscal 2025, operating income was $110.7 million or 1.7% of sales compared to $621.5 million or 8.7% of sales in Fiscal 2024. The decrease in the current year was primarily driven by the impact of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible impairment charges, lower sales volume and higher advertising expense noted above, partially offset by cost savings initiatives.
In the fourth quarter, operating income was $152.6 million or 6.5% of sales compared to $416.3 million or 16.7% of sales in prior year fourth quarter. The decrease in the current year quarter was primarily driven by the impact of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible impairment charges, lower sales volume and higher advertising expense noted above.

In the prior year quarter, operating income in the North America reportable segment was $396.0 million, or 16.8% of segment sales, and includes $1.9 million of integration costs, $1.9 million of restructuring costs, and $3.4 million of net asset impairment charges.
International operating income
In Fiscal 2025, operating income in the International reportable segment was $1.0 million, or 0.3% of segment sales, and includes $5.2 million of restructuring charges and $2.6 million of net losses from the previously announced divestiture of the UK prestige watch business. In Fiscal 2024, operating income in the International reportable segment was $13.1 million, or 3.0% of segment sales, and includes a $12.3 million gain from the divestiture of the UK prestige watch business.
In the fourth quarter, operating income in the International reportable segment was $21.9 million, or 17.4% of segment sales. In the prior year quarter, operating income in the International reportable segment was $36.0 million, or 25.4% of segment sales and includes a $13.6 million gain from the divestiture of the UK prestige watch business.
Corporate and unallocated expenses
In Fiscal 2025, corporate and unallocated expenses were $53.2 million, compared to $60.4 million in Fiscal 2024. In the fourth quarter, corporate and unallocated expenses were $9.4 million, compared to $12.3 million in the prior year fourth quarter. The Company incurred $6.7 million and $4.7 million of leadership transition costs in Fiscal 2025 and the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2025, respectively.
Interest income (expense), net
In Fiscal 2025, net interest income was $9.8 million compared to net interest income of $18.7 million in Fiscal 2024. In the fourth quarter, net interest expense was $0.2 million compared to net interest income $8.7 million in the prior year fourth quarter. The decrease in the current year, as well as in the prior year comparable period, was the result of lower cash balances earning interest due to the redemptions of the redeemable Series A Convertible Preference Shares (the “Preferred Shares”), repayment of the Senior Notes and share repurchases, as well as interest expense incurred from borrowings on the ABL.
Income taxes
Income tax expense for Fiscal 2025 was $63.0 million, with an effective tax rate (“ETR”) of 50.7%, compared to an income tax benefit of $170.6 million, with an effective tax rate of (26.7)% in Fiscal 2024. The ETR for Fiscal 2025 was different than the US federal income tax rate, primarily due to the non-deductible impairment charges described above, partially offset by the favorable impact from the Company’s global reinsurance and financing arrangements. The ETR and tax benefit for Fiscal 2024 reflects the impact of a $263.3 million deferred tax asset recorded in the fourth quarter related to the enactment of the Corporate Income Tax Act of 2023 (the “Act”) in Bermuda. The Act included an economic transition adjustment intended to be a fair and equitable transition into the new tax regime and resulted in a deferred tax benefit for the Company. Other factors impacting the effective rate in Fiscal 2024 were the favorable impact of an uncertain tax position of $20.5 million settled in the fourth quarter, the foreign rate differences and benefits from global reinsurance and financing arrangements, and other discrete tax benefits recognized. The Fiscal 2024 discrete tax benefits relate to the reclassification of remaining taxes on the pension settlement out of AOCI of $4.1 million, the excess tax benefit for share-based compensation which vested during the year of $7.7 million and the $1.7 million reversal of valuation allowance related to capital losses in the UK.
In addition, in January 2025, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) issued guidance which, if enacted in countries in which the Company operates, would limit the cash benefit recognized under the OECD’s Pillar Two related to the $263.3 million deferred tax asset to the amortization recognized in the first two years of the 10-year period, or approximately $52.7 million beginning in Fiscal 2026.
Refer to Note 10 of Item 8 for additional information.
In the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2025, income tax expense was $53.5 million, with an ETR of 34.7%, compared to an income tax benefit of $199.2 million, with an ETR of (46.7)% in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2024. The ETR for the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2025 was higher than the US federal income tax rate, primarily due to the non-deductible impairment charges described above, partially offset by the favorable impact from the Company’s global reinsurance and financing arrangements. The ETR and tax benefit for the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2024 were primarily driven by the $263.3 million deferred tax benefit resulting from the Bermuda economic

transition adjustment discussed above and the favorable impact of an uncertain tax position of $20.5 million settled in the fourth quarter.
NON-GAAP MEASURES
The discussion and analysis of Signet’s results of operations, financial condition and liquidity contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are based upon the consolidated financial statements of Signet which are prepared in accordance with GAAP and should be read in conjunction with Signet’s consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in Item 8. 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 and liquidity. For these reasons, internal management reporting also includes these non-GAAP measures.
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 consolidated financial statements and other publicly filed reports. In addition, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as or comparable to similar non-GAAP measures presented by other companies.
The Company previously referred to certain non-GAAP measures as non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin and non-GAAP diluted EPS. Beginning in Fiscal 2025, these non-GAAP measures are now referred to as adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin and adjusted diluted EPS, respectively. There have been no changes to how these non-GAAP measures are defined or reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
1. Net cash
Net cash is a non-GAAP measure defined as the total of cash and cash equivalents less debt. Management considers this metric to be helpful to understand the total indebtedness of the Company after consideration of cash balances on-hand.

(in millions) | February 1, 2025 |  | February 3, 2024 |  | January 28, 2023
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 604.0 |  |  | $ | 1,378.7 |  |  | $ | 1,166.8 |

Net cash | $ | 604.0 |  |  | $ | 1,231.0 |  |  | $ | 1,019.4 |

2. Free cash flow
Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure defined as the net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. Management considers this metric to be helpful in understanding how the business is generating cash from its operating and investing activities that can be used to meet the financing needs of the business. Free cash flow is an indicator frequently used by management to evaluate its overall liquidity needs and determine appropriate capital allocation strategies. Free cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary purposes.

(in millions) | Fiscal 2025 |  | Fiscal 2024 |  | Fiscal 2023
Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 590.9 |  |  | $ | 546.9 |  |  | $ | 797.9 |
Capital expenditures | (153.0) |  |  | (125.5) |  |  | (138.9) |
Free cash flow | $ | 437.9 |  |  | $ | 421.4 |  |  | $ | 659.0 |

3. Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDAR
EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure defined as earnings before interest, income taxes, 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, income taxes, depreciation and amortization costs. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure, defined as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense, non-operating expense, net and certain non-GAAP accounting adjustments. Adjusted EBITDAR takes this adjusted EBITDA and further excludes minimum fixed rent expense for properties occupied under operating leases. Reviewed in conjunction with net income and operating income, management believes that EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDAR help enhance management’s and investors’ ability to evaluate and analyze trends regarding Signet’s business and performance based on its current operations. These measures are also inputs into the Company’s leverage ratios, which are non-GAAP measures defined below.

3. Adjusted operating income and adjusted operating margin
Adjusted operating income is a non-GAAP measure defined as operating income excluding the impact of certain items which management believes are not necessarily reflective of normal operational performance during a period. Management finds the information useful when analyzing operating results to appropriately evaluate the performance of the business without the impact of these certain items. Management believes the consideration of measures that exclude such items can assist in the comparison of operational performance in different periods which may or may not include such items. Management also utilizes adjusted operating margin, defined as adjusted operating income as a percentage of total sales, to further evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of the Company’s flexible operating model.

4. Adjusted diluted EPS
Adjusted diluted EPS is a non-GAAP measure defined as diluted EPS excluding the impact of certain items which management believes are not necessarily reflective of normal operational performance during a period. Management finds the information useful when analyzing financial results in order to appropriately evaluate the performance of the business without the impact of these certain items. In particular, management believes the consideration of measures that exclude such items can assist in the comparison of performance in different periods which may or may not include such items. The Company estimates the tax effect of all non-GAAP adjustments by applying a statutory tax rate to each item. The income tax items represent the discrete amount that affected the diluted EPS during the period.

5. Leverage ratios
The debt and net debt leverage ratios are non-GAAP measures calculated by dividing Signet’s debt or net debt by adjusted EBITDA. Debt as used in these ratios is defined as current or long-term debt recorded in the consolidated balance sheet plus Preferred Shares. Net debt as used in these ratios is debt less the cash and cash equivalents on hand as of the balance sheet date. The adjusted debt and adjusted net debt leverage ratios are non-GAAP measures calculated by dividing Signet’s adjusted debt or adjusted net debt by adjusted EBITDAR. Adjusted debt is a non-GAAP measure defined as debt recorded in the consolidated balance sheets, plus Preferred Shares, plus an adjustment for operating lease liabilities. Adjusted net debt, a non-GAAP measure, is adjusted debt less the cash and cash equivalents on hand as of the balance sheet dates. Management believes these financial measures are helpful to investors and analysts to analyze trends in Signet’s business and evaluate Signet’s performance. The debt and adjusted debt leverage ratios are key to the Company’s capital allocation strategy as measures of the Company’s optimized capital structure. The net debt and adjusted net debt leverage ratios are supplemental to the debt and adjusted debt ratios as both investors and management find it useful to consider cash and cash equivalents available to pay down debt.
The Company previously used 5x rent expense as its adjustment for operating lease liabilities in the adjusted debt and adjusted net debt leverage ratios. Beginning in Fiscal 2025, the Company has changed its adjustment to operating lease liabilities as recorded in the consolidated balance sheets, as the Company believes this is a better indicator of its current overall lease obligations. The prior period adjusted debt and adjusted net debt leverage ratio have been recast using the new measure for comparability.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Overview
The Company’s primary sources of liquidity are cash on hand, cash provided by operations and availability under its senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL”). As of February 1, 2025, the Company had $604.0 million of cash and cash equivalents and no outstanding borrowings on the ABL. The available borrowing capacity on the ABL was $1.2 billion as of February 1, 2025.
The Company has a disciplined approach to capital allocation, utilizing the following capital priorities: 1) drive growth through both organic investments and acquisitions; 2) optimize its capital structure and maintain an adjusted leverage ratio (a non-GAAP measure as defined in the Non-GAAP Measures section above) at or below our stated goal; and 3) return cash to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends.
Investing in growth
Since the Company’s transformation strategies began in Fiscal 2019, the Company has delivered substantially against its strategic priorities to establish the Company as the OmniChannel jewelry category leader and position its business for sustainable long-term growth. The investments in acquisitions and new capabilities built during the past few years laid the foundation for the Company’s growth, including prioritizing investments in digital technology and data analytics, and enhancing and optimizing a connected commerce shopping journey for its customers, all of which has been funded through cost reductions and structural improvements in the Company’s operations. The Company’s cash discipline has led to more efficient working capital, through both the extension of payment days with the Company’s vendor base, as well as through improvement in productivity and the overall health and newness of the Company’s inventory. The Company also invested $153.0 million for capital expenditures and $47.4 million related to investments in digital and cloud IT initiatives in Fiscal 2025.
The Company has also made the strategic acquisitions of Diamonds Direct and Blue Nile, which have accelerated the Company’s growth in accessible luxury and bridal by allowing Signet to reach into new markets and new customers, through Diamonds Direct’s continued store expansion and through Blue Nile’s broadening of Signet's digital leadership across the jewelry category. In addition, the acquisition of certain assets of SJR in the second quarter of Fiscal 2024, as well as the transition of the former Blue Nile Seattle fulfillment center to a new enterprise-wide repair facility, has expanded the Company’s services capacity and capabilities.
In addition to the acquisitions, the Company divested the operations and certain assets related to the prestige watch business in the UK during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2024 for approximately $54 million. The Company believes the divestiture of this non-strategic business will enable the UK to accelerate key elements of its transformation. See Note 4 of Item 8 for additional information.
Optimized capital structure
The Company has made significant progress over the past few years in line with its priority to build a strong cash and overall liquidity position, including fully outsourcing credit and eliminating the obligations under the UK Pension Scheme. Additionally, over that period, the Company has repaid all outstanding debt, culminating in the full repayment of the Senior Notes at maturity in the second quarter of Fiscal 2025 using cash on hand. In addition, the Company has recently completed the extension of the ABL to August 2029 at substantially the same terms, as further described in Note 20 of Item 8. In connection with this extension, the ABL aggregate

commitment has been reduced to $1.2 billion to better align with our reduced inventory base over the past few years, as well as provide cost savings on unused commitment fees.
On April 1, 2024, in accordance with the terms of the amended Certificate of Designation for the Preferred Shares, the Preferred Holders converted half of the then outstanding Preferred Shares, and the Company elected to settle such conversions in cash totaling $414.1 million, including accrued and unpaid dividends. During the second and third quarters, the Preferred Holders converted all of the remaining Preferred Shares, and the Company elected to settle all the remaining Preferred Shares in cash totaling $401.5 million. The ability of the Company to settle the Preferred Shares in cash highlights the effectiveness of the Company’s flexible operating model and working capital efficiency, which has generated significant free cash flow and liquidity over the past few years. Refer to Note 6 of Item 8 for additional information.
The Company uses leverage ratios to assess the effectiveness of its capital allocation strategy. The Company maintained a 1.1x adjusted leverage ratio through the end of Fiscal 2025, and was 0.5x on an adjusted net debt basis. Net debt to adjusted EBITDA was (0.9)x. The Company continues to be confident in its ability to generate free cash flow while maintaining its leverage ratio targets. The Company has reduced its adjusted leverage ratio goal from 2.5x or less to 1.75x or less to reflect the retirement of all funded debt in Fiscal 2025, capital allocation strategies, and replacing the operating lease adjustment within the calculation with lease liabilities from the previous 5x rent adjustment.
Returning cash to shareholders
The Company remains committed to its goal of returning cash to shareholders, which includes being a dividend growth company. For the fourth year in a row, Signet has increased its quarterly common dividend from $0.29 per share in Fiscal 2025 to $0.32 per share beginning in Fiscal 2026. The Company also remains focused on common share repurchases under its 2017 Share Repurchase Program (the “2017 Program”). In March 2024, the Board approved a further $200 million increase to the multi-year authorization under the 2017 Program. The Company repurchased $138.0 million of common shares during Fiscal 2025 with $723.0 million of shares authorized for repurchase remaining as of February 1, 2025. See Note 7 of Item 8 for additional information related to the common share repurchases.
The Company believes that cash on hand, cash flows from operations and available borrowings under the ABL will be sufficient to meet its ongoing business requirements for at least the 12 months following the date of this report, including funding working capital needs, projected investments in the business (including capital expenditures), and returns to shareholders through dividends and common share repurchases.
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; and
•changes and timing of accounts payable and accrued expenses, including variable compensation.
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 of Item 8, the Company has outsourced its entire credit card portfolio, and it receives cash from its outsourced financing partners (net of applicable fees) generally within two days of the customer sale. Offsetting these receipts, the Company’s largest operating expenses are the purchase of inventory, payroll and payroll-related benefits, store occupancy costs (including rent) and advertising.

Operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities in Fiscal 2025 was $590.9 million compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $546.9 million in the prior year comparable period. The change in operating cash flows compared to prior year was primarily driven by the payment of litigation settlements in the prior year noted below, more than offset by the impact of lower sales on cash flows year over year. The significant movements in operating cash flows are further described below:
•Net income was $61.2 million compared to net income of $810.4 million in the prior year period, a decrease of $749.2 million. This decrease was primarily the result of non-cash asset impairment charges of $372.0 million taken during Fiscal 2025, as well as lower sales and gross profit compared to prior year. The prior year also included a $263.3 million non-cash tax benefit related to the Bermuda economic transition adjustment noted below. See Note 10 and Note 14 of Item 8 for additional information.
•The change in current income taxes was a use of $19.3 million in the current period compared to a use of $3.0 million in the prior year. The current year use was primarily the result of net income tax payments of $115.5 million, compared to net cash payments of $13.0 million in the prior year period. Deferred taxes were a use of $30.7 million in the current period compared to a use of $180.3 million in the prior year, primarily as a result of the deferred tax asset related to the Bermuda economic transition adjustment taken in Fiscal 2024. Refer to Note 10 of Item 8 for additional information.
•Cash provided by inventory was $1.0 million compared to a source of $182.5 million in the prior year period. Inventory was flat compared to the prior year, whereas Fiscal 2024 included a significant reduction due to inventory management initiatives taken by the Company.
•Cash provided by accounts payable was $28.7 million compared to a use of $134.5 million in the prior year period. Accounts payable increased in the current year primarily as a result of replenishment of inventory, including new assortments, in the current year.
•Cash used by accrued expenses and other liabilities was $31.2 million compared to a use of $251.1 million in the prior year period. This difference is driven primarily by litigation settlements which were accrued in Fiscal 2023 and paid during the first quarter of Fiscal 2024. See Note 28 of Item 8 for additional information.
Investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities in Fiscal 2025 was $159.1 million compared to a use of $75.8 million in the prior year period. Cash used in Fiscal 2025 was primarily related to capital expenditures of $153.0 million. Capital expenditures are associated with new stores, remodels of existing stores, and capital investments in digital and IT. In Fiscal 2024, net cash used in investing activities was primarily related to capital expenditures of $125.5 million, partially offset by cash received of $53.8 million for the sale of the Company’s UK prestige watch business. See Note 4 of Item 8 for further information on the divestiture.
Stores opened and closed in Fiscal 2025:

Store count by segment |  | February 3, 2024 |  | Opened |  | Closed |  | February 1, 2025
North America segment (1) |  | 2,411 |  |  | 18 |  |  | (50) |  |  | 2,379 |
International segment (1) |  | 287 |  |  | — |  |  | (24) |  |  | 263 |
Signet |  | 2,698 |  |  | 18 |  |  | (74) |  |  | 2,642 |

(1) The net change in selling square footage for Fiscal 2025 for the North America and International segments was (0.5)% and (7.0)%, respectively.
Financing activities
Net cash used in financing activities in Fiscal 2025 was $1.2 billion, primarily consisting of the repurchase of the Preferred Shares of $813.8 million, the repayment of the Senior Notes of $147.8 million upon maturity, the repurchase of $138.0 million of common shares, preferred and common share dividends paid of $67.1 million, and payments for taxes withheld related to the settlement of the Company’s share-based compensation awards of $28.5 million.
Net cash used in financing activities in Fiscal 2024 was $259.7 million, consisting of the repurchase of $139.3 million of common shares, preferred and common share dividends paid of $72.8 million, and payments for taxes withheld related to the settlement of the Company’s share-based compensation awards of $47.6 million.
Movement in cash and indebtedness
Cash and cash equivalents at February 1, 2025 were $604.0 million compared to $1.4 billion as of February 3, 2024. The decrease year over year was primarily driven by the retirement of the Preferred Shares, the repayment of the Senior Notes upon maturity, and common share repurchases, as described above, partially offset by cash flow from operations. Signet holds cash and cash equivalents at a number of large, highly-rated financial institutions. The amount held at each financial institution takes into account the credit rating and size of the financial institution and is held for short-term durations.

Table of Contents
As further described in Note 20 of Item 8, the Company entered into an agreement to amend the ABL on August 23, 2024. The amendment extended the maturity of the ABL from July 28, 2026 to August 23, 2029 and reduced the size of the ABL to $1.2 billion to better reflect current business needs based primarily on lower inventory levels maintained over the past few years. The Company continues to have an option to increase the size of the ABL by up to an additional $600 million.
There were $253.0 million of borrowings under the ABL during Fiscal 2025, which were fully repaid by the end of the year. There were no borrowings under the ABL during Fiscal 2024. The Company had stand-by letters of credit on the ABL of $18.0 million as of February 1, 2025 that reduced remaining borrowing availability. Available borrowing capacity under the ABL was $1.2 billion as of February 1, 2025.
The Company had no outstanding debt as of February 1, 2025. As further described in Note 20 of Item 8, the Company fully repaid the Senior Notes upon maturity in the second quarter of Fiscal 2025 using cash on hand. At February 3, 2024, Signet had $147.8 million of outstanding debt, consisting entirely of the Senior Notes.
As of February 1, 2025 and February 3, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.
Capital availability
Signet’s level of borrowings and cash balances fluctuates during the year reflecting the seasonality of its cash flow requirements and business performance. Management believes that cash balances and the availability under the ABL are sufficient for both its present and near-term requirements. The following table provides a summary of these items as of February 1, 2025, February 3, 2024 and January 28, 2023:

(in millions) | February 1, 2025 |  | February 3, 2024 |  | January 28, 2023

(1) Includes cash and cash equivalents and current portion of long-term debt
If the excess availability under the ABL falls below the threshold specified in the ABL agreement, the Company will be required to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.00 to 1.00. As of February 1, 2025, the threshold related to the fixed coverage ratio was approximately $116 million. The ABL 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 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 would permit the lenders to accelerate the indebtedness and terminate the ABL.
Credit ratings
The following table provides Signet’s credit ratings as of February 1, 2025:

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
Merchandise held on consignment
The Company held $601.5 million of consignment inventory at February 1, 2025 compared to $530.3 million at February 3, 2024, which is not recorded on the consolidated balance sheets. The principal terms of the consignment agreements, which can generally be terminated by either party, are such that the Company can return any or all of the inventory to the relevant suppliers without financial or commercial penalties and the supplier can adjust the inventory costs prior to sale.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Critical accounting policies covering areas of greater complexity that are subject to the exercise of judgment due to the reliance on key estimates are listed below. A comprehensive listing of Signet’s significant accounting policies is set forth in Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements in Item 8.
Revenue recognition for 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 periods for ESP sales are determined from patterns of claims costs, including estimates of future claims costs expected to be incurred. Management reviews the trends in historical claims to assess whether changes are required to the revenue and cost recognition rates utilized. All direct costs associated with the sale of the ESP are deferred and amortized in proportion to the revenue recognized and disclosed as either other current assets or other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. These direct costs primarily include sales commissions and credit card fees. Amortization of deferred ESP selling costs is included within SG&A in the consolidated statements of operations.
The North America reportable 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 or online at the time of merchandise sale. Revenue from the sale of the lifetime ESP is recognized consistent with the estimated patterns 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 of 13 years after the sale of the warranty contract. Although claims experience varies between the Company’s national brands, thereby resulting in different recognition rates, approximately 60% to 70% of revenue is recognized within the first two years on a weighted average basis. Management estimates that a 1% change in the recognition rates between years for ESP sales, based on the level of ESP plans sold in Fiscal 2025 and assuming no change in the life over which the Company is expected to fulfill its obligations under the warranty, would impact revenue recognized on current year ESP sales by approximately $5 million.
As noted above, the Company utilizes historical claims data to estimate the expected future patterns of claims cost and the related revenue recognition rates utilized. These claims patterns are subject to change based primarily on revisions to the Company’s ESP product offerings and changes in customer behavior over time. The Company refreshes its analysis of the claims pattern on at least an annual basis, or more often if circumstances dictate such a review is required (such as occurred as a result of the disruption from COVID-19). A significant change in either the overall claims pattern or the life over which the Company is expected to fulfill its obligation under the warranty could result in material change to revenues.
Goodwill and intangibles
In a business combination, the Company estimates and records the fair value of all assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including identifiable intangible assets and liabilities. The fair value of these intangible assets and liabilities is estimated based on management’s assessment, including selection of appropriate valuation techniques, inputs and assumptions in the determination of fair value. Significant estimates in valuing intangible assets and liabilities acquired include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows associated with the acquired asset or liability, expected life and discount rates. The excess purchase price over the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill. Goodwill is recorded by the Company’s reporting units based on the acquisitions made by each.
Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are evaluated for impairment annually as of the end of the fourth reporting period, or more often if events or conditions were to indicate the carrying value of a reporting unit or an indefinite-lived intangible asset may be greater than its fair value. The Company may elect to perform a qualitative assessment for our reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit or indefinite-lived intangible asset is greater than its carrying value. If a qualitative assessment is not performed, or if as a result of a qualitative assessment it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit or indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its carrying value, then the reporting unit’s or indefinite-lived intangible asset’s fair value is compared to its carrying value. Impairment testing compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit or other indefinite-lived intangible asset with its fair value. When the carrying amount of the reporting unit or other indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recorded.
The quantitative impairment test for goodwill involves estimating the fair value of the reporting unit through either estimated discounted future cash flows, market-based methodologies, or a combination of both. The impairment test for other indefinite-lived intangible assets involves estimating the fair value of the asset, which is typically performed using the relief from royalty method for indefinite-lived trade names.
Due to various impacts of the current market conditions on key inputs and assumptions, such as rising interest rates and the macroeconomic impact on consumers’ discretionary spending, the Company determined that quantitative impairment assessments were required for the Diamonds Direct and Digital brands reporting units as well as the Blue Nile and Diamonds Direct trade names as of the annual impairment testing date during the second quarter of Fiscal 2025.
As part of the quantitative assessments, management reevaluated its long-term cash flow projections, primarily related to sales growth in the Digital brands and Diamonds Direct. Both brands have a higher bridal mix compared to the rest of Signet, and thus the slower

Table of Contents
than expected engagement recovery and continued pressure on consumer discretionary spending have had a disproportionate impact on these businesses as compared to the other Signet brands. In addition, to a lesser degree, the Digital brands sales have been impacted by market declines in lab-grown diamond pricing over the past year. Management also determined an increase in discount rates was required to reflect the current interest rate environment at the valuation date, as well as to reflect additional forecast risk related to the Digital brands due to the previously discussed challenges related to the integration of Blue Nile. Therefore, these higher discount rates, in conjunction with the revised cash flow projections, resulted in lower than previously projected discounted cash flows for the reporting units and trade names which negatively affected the valuations compared to previous valuations. Based on the results of the quantitative impairment assessments, the Company determined that no impairment was required for the Diamonds Direct reporting unit, as its estimated fair value exceeded its carrying value by 11%. The carrying value of the Diamonds Direct goodwill is $251.2 million. However, during the second quarter of Fiscal 2025, the Company recognized pre-tax impairment charges related to the Diamonds Direct trade name, the Digital brands reporting unit, and the Blue Nile trade name of $7 million, $123 million and $36 million, respectively, as their respective carrying values exceeded their fair values.
During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2025, primarily due to softer than expected Holiday Season results, the Company determined triggering events had occurred requiring interim impairment assessments for the Digital brands reporting unit as well as the Blue Nile, James Allen and Diamonds Direct trade names, which management performed on a quantitative basis. As part of the quantitative assessments, management reevaluated its long-term cash flow projections, primarily related to sales growth in the Digital brands and Diamonds Direct. As described above, the slower than expected engagement recovery continued in the second half of Fiscal 2025, which had a disproportionate impact on these businesses due to their higher bridal mix compared to the rest of Signet. Management also determined an increase in discount rates was required to reflect the current interest rate environment at the valuation date, as well as to reflect additional forecast risk related to the Digital brands due to the previously discussed challenges related to the integration of Blue Nile. The Digital brands’ results were also impacted by lower traffic post re-platforming due to search engine optimization during the second half of the year. Therefore, these higher discount rates, in conjunction with the revised cash flow projections, resulted in lower than previously projected discounted cash flows for the reporting unit and trade names which negatively affected the fair value estimates compared to previous valuations. The Company recognized pre-tax impairment charges in the consolidated statement of operations within its North America reportable segment related to the Digital brands reporting unit, Blue Nile trade name, James Allen trade name, and the Diamonds Direct trade name of $149.5 million, $41 million, $3 million, and $7 million, respectively, as their respective carrying values exceeded their fair values.
As a result of these impairments, as of February 1, 2025, the carrying values of the Digital brands goodwill, Blue Nile trade name, James Allen trade name, and Diamonds Direct trade name were reduced to their estimated fair values of $53.6 million, $19 million, $15 million, and $112 million, respectively. The Company will continue to monitor events or circumstances that could trigger the need for an interim impairment test. The Company believes that the estimates and assumptions related to sales and operating income trends, discount rates, royalty rates and other assumptions are reasonable, but they are subject to change from period to period.
Management noted uncertainties exist related to the post-election macroeconomic environment in the US and abroad, including tariffs, economic and tax policy, inflation and interest rates. These factors could unfavorably impact consumer confidence and discretionary spending, and thus may impact the key assumptions used to estimate fair value, such as sales trends, margin trends, long-term growth rates and discount rates. These factors could also negatively affect the share price of the Company’s common stock. An increase in the discount rate and/or a further softening of sales and operating income trends for any of the Company’s reporting units and related trade names, particularly during peak selling seasons, could result in a further decline in the estimated fair values of the indefinite-lived intangible assets, including goodwill, which could result in future material impairment charges, particularly for Diamonds Direct and Digital brands as described above. For example, an increase in the discount rate of 0.5% to all of the aforementioned impaired trade names and reporting unit, assuming no other changes to assumptions, would have resulted in additional impairment charges of approximately $8 million during Fiscal 2025.
See Note 16 of Item 8 for additional information.
Long-lived 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 asset group, and recording an impairment loss for the amount that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value. The Company primarily utilizes 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.
Certain factors impacting the Company’s business could continue to further negatively affect the operating performance and cash flows of the previously impaired stores or additional stores, including the impacts of inflation, continued changes in consumer
52

Table of Contents
behavior and shifts in discretionary spending, the inability to achieve or maintain cost savings or other strategic initiatives, changes in real estate strategy or other macroeconomic factors which influence consumer behavior. In 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-level assets in future periods.
Income taxes
Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized by applying statutory tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences between the financial reporting and tax filing bases of existing assets and liabilities are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is established against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, based on management’s evaluation of all available evidence, both positive and negative, including reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and results of recent operations. The Company has a valuation allowance of $14.9 million and $18.3 million, as of February 1, 2025 and February 3, 2024, respectively, due to uncertainties related to the Company’s ability to utilize certain of its deferred tax assets, primarily consisting of state net operating losses and foreign capital losses carried forward.
The annual effective tax rate is based on annual income, statutory tax rates and tax planning strategies available in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The Company does not recognize tax benefits related to positions taken on certain tax matters unless the position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. At any point in time, various tax years are subject to or are in the process of being audited by various taxing authorities. The Company records a reserve for uncertain tax positions, including interest and penalties. To the extent that management’s estimates of settlements change, or the final tax outcome of these matters is different than the amounts recorded, such differences will impact the income tax provision in the period in which such determinations are made. See Note 10 of Item 8 for additional information regarding deferred tax assets and unrecognized tax benefits.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Signet is exposed to market risk arising 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 monitors and manages these market exposures as a fundamental part of its overall risk management program, which recognizes the volatility of financial markets and seeks to reduce the potentially adverse effects of this volatility on Signet’s operating results. 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 a portion of the International reportable 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 may enter into derivative transactions to hedge a significant portion of forecasted merchandise purchases using commodity forward purchase contracts, options, net zero premium collar arrangements, or some combination thereof. Additionally, the North America reportable segment enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to manage the currency fluctuations associated with the Company’s Canadian operations. These contracts are entered into with large, reputable financial institutions, thereby minimizing the credit exposure from the Company’s counterparties.
Signet has significant amounts of cash and cash equivalents held at several financial institutions. The amounts held at each financial institution takes into account the long-term credit rating and size of the financial institution. The interest rates earned on cash and cash equivalents will fluctuate in line with short-term interest rates.
MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT POLICY
The Finance Committee of the Board is responsible for monitoring market and liquidity risk within the Company’s treasury policies and guidelines framework, which are deemed to be appropriate by the Board for the management of market risk and liquidity.
Signet’s exposure to market risk is managed by Signet’s senior management. Where deemed necessary to achieve the objective of reducing market risk volatility on Signet’s operating results, certain derivative instruments are entered into after review and approval by the Company’s Chief Operating and Financial Officer (“CFO”). Signet uses derivative financial instruments for risk management purposes only.
A description of Signet’s accounting policies for derivative instruments is included in Note 1 of Item 8. Signet’s current portfolio of derivative financial instruments consists entirely of forward foreign currency exchange contracts. An analysis quantifying the fair value change in derivative financial instruments held by Signet to manage its exposure to foreign exchange rates is detailed in Note 18 of Item 8.
53

Table of Contents
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
Approximately 91% of Signet’s total assets were held in entities whose functional currency is the US dollar at February 1, 2025 and the Company generated approximately 91% of its sales in US dollars in Fiscal 2025. Remaining assets and sales are primarily in British pounds and Canadian dollars.
In translating the results of the International reportable segment and the Canadian subsidiary of the North America reportable segment, Signet’s results are subject to fluctuations in the exchange rates between the US dollar and both the British pound and Canadian dollar. Any depreciation in the value of the US dollar against the British pound or Canadian dollar could increase reported revenues and operating income and any appreciation in the value of the US dollar against the British pound or Canadian dollar could decrease reported revenues and operating income.
The International reportable segment buys certain products and materials on international markets that are priced in US dollars and therefore has an exposure to exchange rates on the cost of goods sold. Signet uses certain derivative financial instruments to hedge a portion of this exposure within treasury guidelines and approved by the Signet CFO. In Fiscal 2025, approximately 31% of the International reportable segment’s goods purchased were transacted in US dollars (Fiscal 2024: 32%).
Signet holds a fluctuating amount of British pounds and Canadian dollars reflecting the cash generative characteristics of operations. The Company’s objective is to minimize net foreign exchange exposure to the consolidated statements of operations on non-US dollar denominated items through managing cash levels, non-US dollar denominated intra-entity balances and foreign currency exchange contracts and 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.
Commodity Price Risk
Signet’s results are subject to fluctuations in the cost of diamonds, gold and certain other precious metals which are key raw material components of the products sold by Signet.
When deemed appropriate by management, 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 CFO. In particular, when price and volume warrant such actions, Signet undertakes 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). It is not possible to hedge against fluctuations in the cost of diamonds.
Interest Rate Risk
Signet’s interest income and expense is exposed to volatility in interest rates. This exposure is driven by both the currency denomination of the cash or debt, the mix of fixed and floating rate debt used, the type of cash investments and the total amount of cash and debt outstanding. As of February 1, 2025, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates would result in no additional annual interest expense since all of the Company’s variable rate debt has been repaid.
Sensitivity Analysis
Management has used a sensitivity analysis technique that measures the change in the fair value of Signet’s financial instruments from hypothetical changes in market rates as shown in the table below.
Fair value gains (losses) arising from:

(in millions) | Fair Value February 1, 2025 |  |  |  | 10% depreciation of $ against £ |  | 10% depreciation of $ against C$ |  |  |  | Fair Value February 3, 2024
Foreign exchange contracts | $ | (0.3) |  |  |  |  | $ | 2.5 |  |  | $ | 4.8 |  |  |  |  | $ | (0.2) |

The amounts generated from the sensitivity analysis quantify the impact of market risk assuming that certain adverse market conditions, specified in the table above, occur. They are not forward-looking estimates of market risk. Actual results in the future are likely to differ materially from those projected due to changes in the portfolio of financial instruments held and actual developments in the global financial markets.
Any changes in the portfolio of financial instruments held and developments in the global financial markets may cause fluctuations in interest rates, exchange rates and precious metal prices to exceed the hypothetical amounts disclosed in the table above. The sensitivity scenarios are intended to allow an expected risk measure to be applied to the scenarios, as opposed to the scenarios themselves being an indicator of the maximum expected risk.
The fair value of derivative financial instruments is determined based on market value equivalents at period end, taking into account the current foreign currency forward rates.
54

Table of Contents
The estimated changes in the fair value for foreign exchange rates are based on a 10% depreciation of the US dollar against British pound and Canadian dollar from the levels applicable at February 1, 2025 with all other variables remaining constant. There were no foreign exchange contracts outstanding in other foreign currencies as of February 1, 2025.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Signet Jewelers Limited and subsidiaries (the Company) as of February 1, 2025 and February 3, 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows, and shareholders’ equity for the 52 week period ended February 1, 2025, the 53 week period ended February 3, 2024, and the 52 week period ended January 28, 2023, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of February 1, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of February 1, 2025 and February 3, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the 52 week period ended February 1, 2025, the 53 week period ended February 3, 2024, and the 52 week period ended January 28, 2023, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of February 1, 2025 based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
Basis for Opinions
The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Revenue recognition related to extended service plans
As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recognized revenue related to the extended service plans (ESP) of $522.5 million, which included revenue related to lifetime ESP. Lifetime ESP revenue is recognized in proportion to when the expected costs will be incurred. To determine the amount of revenue to recognize, the Company estimates the deferral periods and patterns of future claims costs.
We identified the evaluation of revenue recognition related to lifetime ESP as a critical audit matter. Subjective and challenging auditor judgment was required to evaluate the estimated deferral periods and patterns of future claims costs used to recognize lifetime ESP revenue, which included assessing the historical claims trends by year of contract sale and estimates of future claims, because a change in these estimates could materially impact revenues. In addition, valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge were required to evaluate the Company’s models used to estimate the deferral periods and patterns of future claims costs.
The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the Company’s revenue recognition process, including controls related to the development of assumptions used to estimate the deferral periods and patterns of future claims costs. We evaluated the historical claims trends used by the Company in estimating the future claims costs on a sample basis by selecting claims and tracing them back to the original proof of sale. We assessed the calculations used by the Company to determine lifetime ESP revenue recognized for consistency with the estimated deferral periods and patterns of future claim costs. We involved valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted by evaluating the Company’s models used to develop the deferral periods and patterns of future claims costs by developing parallel models to estimate the deferral periods and patterns of future claims costs and comparing the results to the Company’s estimated deferral periods and patterns of future claims costs.
Valuations of the Digital brands reporting unit and the Blue Nile trade name
As discussed in Notes 1 and 16 to the consolidated financial statements, goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets, such as indefinite-lived trade names, are evaluated by the Company for impairment annually as of the end of the fourth reporting period, or more often if events or conditions were to indicate the carrying value of a reporting unit or an indefinite-lived intangible asset may be greater than its fair value. When the carrying amount of the reporting unit or other indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recorded. The Digital brands reporting unit goodwill and Blue Nile indefinite-lived trade name balances as of February 1, 2025, were $53.6 million and $19 million, respectively. For the fiscal year ended February 1, 2025, the Company recorded impairment charges of $272.5 million and $77 million related to the Digital brands reporting unit and Blue Nile indefinite-lived trade name, respectively.
We identified the evaluation of the fair values of the Digital brands reporting unit and the Blue Nile trade name as a critical audit matter due to the sensitivity of certain assumptions used. Subjective and challenging auditor judgment, as well as specialized skills and knowledge was required to evaluate certain assumptions used in determining the fair value of these assets. Specifically, these assumptions included the forecasted revenue growth rates, forecasted gross merchandise margins, royalty rate, as well as the company specific risk premium assumptions used to develop the discount rates. Changes to these assumptions could have a significant impact on the amount of the impairment charges.
The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls over the evaluation of the fair values used in the impairment assessment process, including controls over the development of the assumptions described above. We performed sensitivity analyses over the forecasted revenue growth rates, forecasted gross merchandise margins, royalty rate and discount rates to assess the impact of changes in these assumptions on the Company’s determination of the fair values. We evaluated the forecasted revenue growth rates and forecasted gross merchandise margins assumptions by comparing them to historical financial performance and external market and industry data. We evaluated whether these assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. We also involved valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in:
•evaluating the company specific risk premium used to develop the discount rates by performing benchmarking analyses using publicly available data from peer companies

•evaluating the Company’s royalty rate by determining that the selected royalty rate is supported by the Blue Nile trade name’s return on assets and royalty rates disclosed in comparable publicly available licensing agreements
•testing the estimated fair values of the Digital brands reporting unit and the Blue Nile trade name using the Company’s assumptions and comparing the results to the Company’s fair value estimates.

SIGNET JEWELERS LIMITED
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Organization and summary of significant 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 5 for information regarding 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 for a substantial portion of the annual operating income and cash flows.
The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements:
(a) Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP” or “GAAP”) and include the results for the 52 week period ended February 1, 2025 (“Fiscal 2025”), as the Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest to January 31. The comparative periods are for the 53 week period ended February 3, 2024 (“Fiscal 2024”) and the 52 week period ended January 28, 2023 (“Fiscal 2023”). Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company has reclassified certain prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation.
(b) Use of estimates
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements, in conformity with US GAAP and the regulations of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), 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 consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and assumptions are primarily made in relation to the valuation of inventories, deferred revenue, employee compensation, income taxes, contingencies, leases, asset impairments for goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible and long-lived assets and the depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets.
(c) 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 reportable segment and Canada as part of the North America reportable segment, are consolidated using the local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange on the consolidated balance sheet dates, 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 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 within other operating (expense) income, net within the consolidated statements of operations.
(d) Revenue recognition
The Company applies a five-step approach in determining the amount and timing of revenue to be recognized: (1) identifying the contract with a customer; (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determining the transaction price; (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognizing revenue when the corresponding performance obligation is satisfied.
See Note 3 for additional information regarding the Company’s revenue recognition policies.
(e) Cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses
Cost of sales consists primarily of the following expense categories:
•Merchandise costs, net of discounts and allowances;
•Cost of services, including the cost of replacement components, repair supplies and related compensation and benefits for employees directly associated with performing the service;
•Store operating and occupancy costs such as rent, utilities, real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance (including common area maintenance) and depreciation and amortization; and
•Distribution and inventory-related costs, including freight, processing, inventory scrap, shrinkage and related compensation and benefits.
64

Table of Contents
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) include store staff and store administrative costs; advertising and promotional costs; centralized administrative expenses, including information technology; credit costs; and other administrative operating expenses not specifically categorized elsewhere in the consolidated statements of operations.
Compensation and benefits costs included within cost of sales and SG&A totaled $1,387.5 million in Fiscal 2025 (Fiscal 2024: $1,428.0 million; Fiscal 2023: $1,430.3 million).
(f) Store opening costs
The opening costs of new locations are expensed as incurred and included within SG&A.
(g) Advertising and promotional costs
Advertising and promotional costs are expensed within SG&A. Production costs are expensed at the first communication of the advertisements, while communication expenses are recognized each time the advertisement is communicated. For catalogs and circulars, costs are all expensed at the first date they can be viewed by the customer. Point of sale promotional material is expensed when first displayed in the stores. Gross advertising costs totaled $560.1 million in Fiscal 2025 (Fiscal 2024: $522.8 million; Fiscal 2023: $555.6 million).
(h) Income taxes
Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized by applying statutory tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences between the financial reporting and tax filing bases of existing assets and liabilities are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is established against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, based on management’s evaluation of all available evidence, both positive and negative, including reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and results of recent operations.
The Company does not recognize tax benefits related to positions taken on certain tax matters unless the position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. At any point in time, various tax years are subject to or are in the process of being audited by various taxing authorities. The Company records a reserve for uncertain tax positions, including interest and penalties. To the extent that management’s estimates of settlements change, or the final tax outcome of these matters is different than the amounts recorded, such differences will impact the income tax provision in the period in which such determinations are made.
See Note 10 for additional discussion of the Company’s income taxes.
(i) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, money market deposits and amounts placed with external fund managers with an original maturity of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. In addition, receivables from third-party credit card issuers are typically converted to cash within five days of the original sales transaction and are considered cash equivalents.
The following table summarizes the details of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents for the periods presented:

(in millions) | February 1, 2025 |  | February 3, 2024
Cash and cash equivalents held in money markets and other accounts | $ | 546.2 |  |  | $ | 1,314.1 |
Cash equivalents from third-party credit card issuers | 57.8 |  |  | 64.6 |
Total cash and cash equivalents | $ | 604.0 |  |  | $ | 1,378.7 |

The Company’s supplemental cash flow information for Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023 was as follows:

(in millions) | Fiscal 2025 |  | Fiscal 2024 |  | Fiscal 2023
Non-cash investing activities: |  |  |  |  |
Capital expenditures in accounts payable | $ | 27.9 |  |  | $ | 13.4 |  |  | $ | 14.9 |
Supplemental cash flow information: |  |  |  |  |
Interest paid | 13.8 |  |  | 15.9 |  |  | 11.7 |
Income tax paid, net (1) | 115.5 |  |  | 13.0 |  |  | 74.6 |

(1) Includes $42.6 million and $53.8 million refunded under the CARES Act in Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023, respectively. See Note 10 for additional information.
(j) Inventories
Inventories are primarily held for resale and are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using weighted-average cost, on a first-in first-out basis, except for certain loose diamond inventories (including those held in the Company’s diamond
65

Table of Contents
sourcing operations) where cost is determined using specific identification. Total inventory cost includes charges directly related to bringing inventory to its present location and condition. In addition to the cost of merchandise, such charges included in inventory costs would include freight and duties, warehousing, security, distribution and certain buying costs. Net realizable value is defined as estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Inventory reserves are recorded for obsolete, slow moving or defective items and shrinkage. Inventory reserves for obsolete, slow moving or defective items are calculated as the difference between the cost of inventory and its estimated net realizable value based on targeted inventory turn rates, future demand, management strategy and market conditions. Due to inventories primarily consisting of precious stones and metals including gold, the age of inventories has a limited impact on the estimated net realizable value. Inventory reserves for shrinkage are estimated and recorded based on historical physical inventory results, expectations of inventory losses and current inventory levels. Physical inventories are taken at least once annually for all store locations, whereas distribution centers are subject to either an annual physical inventory or a cycle count program.
(k) Vendor contributions
Contributions are received from vendors through various programs and arrangements including cooperative advertising. Where vendor contributions related to identifiable promotional events are received, contributions are matched against the costs of promotions. Vendor contributions received as general contributions and not related to specific promotional events are recognized as a reduction of merchandise costs.
(l) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, amortization and impairment charges. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation and amortization are recognized on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows:

Buildings |  | Ranging from 30 – 40 years
Leasehold improvements |  | Remaining term of lease, not to exceed 10 years
Furniture and fixtures |  | Ranging from 3 – 10 years
Equipment and software |  | Ranging from 3 – 7 years

Computer software purchased or developed for internal use is stated at cost less accumulated amortization. The Company’s policy provides for the capitalization of external direct costs of materials and services associated with developing or obtaining internal use computer software. In addition, the Company also capitalizes certain payroll and payroll-related costs for employees directly associated with development of internal use software. Amortization is recorded on a straight-line basis over periods from three to seven years.
Capitalized amounts for cloud computing arrangements accounted for as service contracts are included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. These costs primarily consist of payroll and payroll-related costs for employees directly associated with the implementation of cloud computing projects, consulting fees, and development fees. Amortization of these costs is recorded on a straight-line basis over the life of the service contract, ranging from two to four years. Amortization of these costs is recorded in cost of sales or SG&A, depending on the nature of the underlying service contract. In Fiscal 2025, the Company recorded $66.3 million of amortization related to capitalized cloud computing costs (Fiscal 2024: $48.2 million; Fiscal 2023: $32.5 million). The carrying amount of these assets was $157.5 million as of February 1, 2025 (February 3, 2024: $170.7 million).
See Note 14 for the Company’s policy for long-lived asset impairment, including property, plant and equipment.
(m) Goodwill and intangibles
In a business combination, the Company estimates and records the fair value of all assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including identifiable intangible assets and liabilities. The fair value of these intangible assets and liabilities is estimated based on management’s assessment, including selection of appropriate valuation techniques, inputs and assumptions in the determination of fair value. Significant estimates in valuing intangible assets and liabilities acquired include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows associated with the acquired asset or liability, expected life and discount rates. The excess purchase price over the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill. Goodwill is recorded by the Company’s reporting units based on the acquisitions made by each.
66

Table of Contents
Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are evaluated for impairment annually as of the end of the fourth reporting period, or more often if events or conditions were to indicate the carrying value of a reporting unit or an indefinite-lived intangible asset may be greater than its fair value. The Company may elect to perform a qualitative assessment for our reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit or indefinite-lived intangible asset is greater than its carrying value. If a qualitative assessment is not performed, or if as a result of a qualitative assessment it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit or indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its carrying value, then the reporting unit’s or indefinite-lived intangible asset’s fair value is compared to its carrying value. Impairment testing compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit or other indefinite-lived intangible asset with its fair value. When the carrying amount of the reporting unit or other indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recorded.
The quantitative impairment test for goodwill involves estimating the fair value of the reporting unit through either estimated discounted future cash flows, market-based methodologies, or a combination of both. The impairment test for other indefinite-lived intangible assets involves estimating the fair value of the asset, which is typically performed using the relief from royalty method for indefinite-lived trade names.
Intangible assets with definite lives are amortized and reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows related to the asset are less than the carrying amount, the Company recognizes an impairment charge equal to the difference between the carrying value and the estimated fair value, usually determined by the estimated discounted future cash flows of the asset.
See Note 16 for additional information regarding the Company’s goodwill and intangibles.
(n) Derivatives and hedge accounting
The Company may enter into various types of derivative instruments to mitigate certain risk exposures related to changes in commodity costs and foreign exchange rates. Derivative instruments are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value, as either assets or liabilities, with an offset to net income or other comprehensive income (“OCI”), depending on whether the derivative qualifies as an effective hedge.
If a derivative instrument meets certain hedge criteria, the Company designates the derivative as a cash flow hedge within the fiscal quarter it is entered into. For effective cash flow hedge transactions, the changes in fair value of the derivative instruments are recognized in equity as a component of AOCI and are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in the same period(s) and on the same financial statement line in which the hedged item affects net income. Gains and losses on derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are recognized immediately in other operating (expense) income, net.
In the normal course of business, the Company may terminate cash flow hedges prior to the occurrence of the underlying forecasted transaction. For cash flow hedges terminated prior to the occurrence of the underlying forecasted transaction, management monitors the probability of the associated forecasted cash flow transactions to assess whether any gain or loss recorded in AOCI should be immediately recognized in earnings. Cash flows from derivative contracts are included in net cash provided by operating activities.
(o) Employee benefits
The Company also operates a defined contribution plan in the UK, a defined contribution retirement savings plan in the US, and an executive deferred compensation plan in the US. Contributions made by the Company to these benefit arrangements are charged as incurred primarily to SG&A in the consolidated statements of operations.
The Company previously operated a defined benefit pension plan in the UK (the “UK Plan”), which was fully settled in Fiscal 2024. Prior to the wind-up and settlement, the funded status of the UK Plan was recognized on the consolidated balance sheets and represented the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the projected benefit obligation measured at the balance sheet date. Refer to Note 26 for additional information regarding the wind-up of the UK Plan.
(p) Debt issuance costs
Borrowings primarily include interest-bearing bank loans. Direct debt issuance costs incurred upon entering into the related borrowing arrangements are capitalized and amortized into interest expense over the contractual term of the related loan.
(q) Share-based compensation
As further described in Note 24, certain of the Company’s employees participate in share-based compensation plans. The Company measures share-based compensation cost for awards classified as equity at the grant date based on the estimated fair value of the award and recognizes the cost as an expense on a straight-line basis (net of estimated forfeitures) over the requisite service period of employees. Certain share awards under the Company’s plans include a condition whereby vesting is contingent on Company performance exceeding a given target, and therefore awards granted with this condition are considered to be performance-based awards.
The Company estimates the fair value of time-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) using the share price of the Company’s common stock reduced by a discount factor representing the present value of
67

Table of Contents
dividends that will not be received during the term of the awards. The Company estimates the fair value of time-based restricted shares (“RSAs”) and common stock awards at the share price of the Company’s common stock as of the grant award date. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using a Black-Scholes model for awards granted under the 2018 Omnibus Plan. Deferred tax assets for awards that result in deductions on the income tax returns of subsidiaries are recorded by the Company based on the amount of compensation cost recognized and the subsidiaries’ statutory tax rate in the jurisdiction in which it will receive a deduction.
Share-based compensation is primarily recorded in SG&A in the consolidated statements of operations, consistent with the related salary costs.
(r) Contingent liabilities
Provisions for contingent liabilities are recorded for probable losses when management is able to reasonably estimate the loss or range of loss. When it is reasonably possible that a contingent liability may result in a loss or additional loss, the range of the potential loss is disclosed.
(s) Dividends
Dividends on common shares are reflected as a reduction of retained earnings in the period in which they are formally declared by Signet’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). In addition, the cumulative dividends on redeemable convertible preferred shares are reflected as a reduction of retained earnings in the period in which they are declared by the Board, as are the deemed dividends resulting from the accretion of issuance costs related to redeemable convertible preferred shares.
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.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09. This ASU modifies the annual disclosure requirements for income taxes in the following ways:
•The effective tax rate reconciliation must be disclosed using both percentages and dollars (currently only one is required). The reconciliation must contain several prescriptive categories, including disaggregating material impacts from foreign, state, and local taxes by jurisdiction. Qualitative information regarding material reconciling items is also required to be disclosed.
•The amount of income taxes paid must be disclosed and disaggregated by jurisdiction.
The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted, and may be applied on a prospective or retrospective basis. This ASU will have no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations. The Company is evaluating the impact of this ASU on its income tax disclosures.
Income Statement Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Topic 220-40) (“ASU 2024-03”)
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03. This ASU requires disclosure of additional information about certain income statement expense line items, such as cost of sales and SG&A. Prescribed expense categories within each line item will be required to be disaggregated in tabular format. Prescribed expense categories include purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. Other material expense categories identified within each income statement expense line item may also require disclosure. Total selling expenses and a definition of selling expenses is required to be disclosed.

(1) Other primarily includes sales from the Company’s diamond sourcing operation and loose diamonds.
The Company recognizes revenues when control of the promised goods and services is 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 eCommerce 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, 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 collected 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 picks up the merchandise at the store.
Consignment inventory sales
Sales of consignment inventory are accounted for on a gross sales basis as the Company maintains control of the merchandise through the point of sale as well as provides independent advice, guidance and after-sales service to customers. Supplier products are selected at the discretion of the Company, and the Company is responsible for determining the selling price and for physical security of the products. The products sold from consignment inventory are similar in nature to other products that are sold to customers and are sold on the same terms.
Extended service plans (“ESP”)
The Company recognizes revenue related to ESP sales in proportion to when the expected costs will be incurred. The deferral periods for ESP sales are determined from patterns of claims costs, including estimates of future claims costs expected to be incurred. Management reviews the trends in historical claims to assess whether changes are required to the revenue and cost recognition rates

utilized. The Company refreshes its analysis of the claims patterns on at least an annual basis, or more often if circumstances dictate such a review is required. A significant change in either the overall claims pattern or the life over which the Company is expected to fulfill its obligations under the ESP, could result in a material change to revenues. These changes have not had a material impact on revenue during Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 or Fiscal 2023.
The North America reportable 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 or online at the time of merchandise sale. Revenue from the sale of the lifetime ESP is recognized consistent with the estimated patterns 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 of 13 years after the sale of the ESP contract. Although claims experience varies between the Company’s national brands, thereby resulting in different recognition rates, approximately 60% to 70% of revenue is recognized within the first two years on a weighted average basis.
The Company also sells warranty agreements in the capacity of an agent on behalf of a third-party. The commission that the Company receives from the third-party is recognized at the time of sale less an estimate of cancellations based on historical experience.
Deferred ESP selling costs
All direct costs associated with the sale of the ESP are deferred and amortized in proportion to the revenue recognized and disclosed as either other current assets or other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. These direct costs primarily include sales commissions and credit card fees. Amortization of deferred ESP selling costs is included within SG&A in the consolidated statements of operations. Amortization of deferred ESP selling costs was $45.7 million, $44.4 million and $43.7 million in Fiscal 2025, and Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023, respectively.

4. Acquisitions and divestitures
Blue Nile
On August 19, 2022, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Blue Nile, Inc. (“Blue Nile”), subject to the terms of a stock purchase agreement entered into on August 5, 2022. The total cash consideration was $389.9 million, net of cash acquired of $16.6 million, including purchase price adjustments for working capital. In connection with the acquisition, the Company incurred $4.2 million of acquisition-related costs during Fiscal 2023, which were recorded as SG&A in the consolidated statement of operations.
Blue Nile is a leading online retailer of engagement rings and fine jewelry. The strategic acquisition of Blue Nile accelerated Signet's initiative to expand its bridal offerings and grow its accessible luxury portfolio while enhancing its connected commerce capabilities as well as extending its digital leadership across the jewelry category – all while further achieving meaningful operating synergies to enhance shopping experiences for consumers.
The information included herein has been prepared based on the allocation of the purchase price using estimates of the fair value and useful lives of assets acquired and liabilities assumed which were determined by management using a combination of income and cost approaches, including the relief from royalty method and replacement cost method.
The following table presents the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Blue Nile at the date of acquisition:

(in millions) |
Inventories | $ | 85.8 |
Property, plant and equipment | 33.1 |
Operating lease right-of-use assets | 39.1 |
Intangible assets | 96.0 |
Other assets | 23.6 |
Identifiable assets acquired | 277.6 |
Accounts payable | 71.6 |
Deferred revenue | 16.5 |
Operating lease liabilities | 38.5 |
Other liabilities | 17.9 |
Liabilities assumed | 144.5 |
Identifiable net assets acquired | 133.1 |
Goodwill | 256.8 |
Net assets acquired | $ | 389.9 |

The Company recorded acquired intangible assets of $96.0 million, consisting entirely of an indefinite-lived trade name. In addition, the Company acquired federal net operating loss and other carryforwards of approximately $90 million and $71 million, respectively. Such amounts are subject to certain limitations under Section 382 of the US Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) and generally do not expire. Refer to Note 10 for additional information on the Company’s deferred taxes, including these carryforwards.
Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in the acquisition and represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. The amount allocated to goodwill associated with the Blue Nile acquisition is primarily the result of expected synergies resulting from combining the merchandising and sourcing activities of the Company’s Digital brands, as well as efficiencies in marketing and other aspects of the combined operations. The Company allocated goodwill to its North America reportable segment. None of the goodwill associated with this transaction is deductible for income tax purposes.
The results of Blue Nile subsequent to the acquisition date are reported as a component of the North America reportable segment. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented, as the impact on the Company’s consolidated financial results was not material.
Service Jewelry & Repair
On July 11, 2023, the Company acquired certain assets of Service Jewelry & Repair, Inc. (“SJR”). SJR is a leader in jewelry and watch repair to both consumers and businesses. The total cash consideration was $6.0 million. The SJR acquisition was driven by Signet's Inspiring Brilliance strategy and its initiatives to accelerate growth in its services offerings. Net assets acquired primarily consist of inventory and goodwill.

UK Prestige Watch Business
On October 18, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the operations and certain assets of the Company’s UK prestige watch business in the International reportable segment, including 21 retail locations. The sale of these locations was substantially completed in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2024 for proceeds of $53.8 million and resulted in a pre-tax gain of $12.3 million recorded in other operating (expense) income, net in the consolidated statement of operations. In addition, during Fiscal 2025, the Company recorded $2.6 million of charges related to the divestiture.
The business did not meet the criteria to be classified as discontinued operations as the disposal did not represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company's operations. As of February 3, 2024, the related assets and liabilities expected to be disposed were presented as held for sale, recorded within other current assets and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.
5. Segment information
Signet’s chief executive officer (“CEO”) is the Company’s CODM. The CODM regularly reviews segment sales and segment operating income, after the elimination of any inter-segment transactions, to determine resource allocations between segments. Signet’s sales are primarily derived from the retailing of jewelry, watches, services and other products as generated through the management of its segments. The Company previously used operating income as the segment measure of profit or loss. The new segment measure of profit or loss, segment operating income, excludes the impact of certain items management believes are not necessarily reflective of normal operating performance, is utilized by the CODM to assess segment profitability. Segment operating income is used by the CODM to monitor and assess segment results compared to prior periods, forecasted results, and our annual operating plan.
The Company aggregates operating segments with similar economic and operating characteristics. Signet manages its business as three reportable segments: North America, International, and Other. 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.
The North America reportable segment operates across the US and Canada. Its US stores operate nationally in malls and off-mall locations, as well as online, principally as Kay (Kay Jewelers and Kay Outlet), Zales (Zales Jewelers and Zales Outlet), Jared (Jared Jewelers and Jared Vault), Diamonds Direct, Banter by Piercing Pagoda, Rocksbox, and Digital brands, James Allen and Blue Nile. Its Canadian stores operate as Peoples Jewellers.
The International reportable segment operates stores in the UK and Republic of Ireland, as well as online. Its stores operate in shopping malls and off-mall locations (i.e. high street) principally under the H.Samuel and Ernest Jones brands.
The Other reportable segment primarily consists of subsidiaries involved in the purchasing and conversion of rough diamonds to polished stones.
Financial information for each of Signet’s reportable segments for Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023 is presented in the tables below.

6. Redeemable preferred shares
On October 5, 2016, the Company issued 625,000 redeemable Series A Convertible Preference Shares (the “Preferred Shares”) to Green Equity Investors VI, L.P. Green Equity Investors Side VI, L.P., LGP Associates VI-A LLC and LGP Associates VI-B LLC, all affiliates of Leonard Green & Partners, L.P., (together, the “Preferred Holders”), 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. The Preferred Shares were classified as temporary equity within the consolidated balance sheets.
On March 30, 2024, the Board approved amendments to the Certificate of Designation effective as of April 1, 2024, including to provide for net share settlement upon conversion of the Preferred Shares. Under the terms of the net share settlement, upon a conversion at the option of a Preferred Holder, in exchange for each Preferred Share, Signet was required to deliver cash for the stated value of the Preferred Shares and could elect to deliver any net settlement amount in excess of stated value in cash, shares or a combination of cash and shares. The stated value of the Preferred Shares as of the date of the amendment was $1,050.94 per share. The amended Certificate of Designation also included certain restrictions on the Preferred Holders’ rights to convert the Preferred Shares prior to November 15, 2024. No other modifications to the terms of the Certificate of Designation were made.

On April 1, 2024, following the effectiveness of the amended Certificate of Designation, the Preferred Holders delivered notice to the Company of a conversion of 312,500 Preferred Shares (in the aggregate). In accordance with the terms of the amended Certificate of Designation, the conversion was settled in cash by the Company for $414.1 million on April 15, 2024, which included $2.1 million of accrued and unpaid dividends as of the date of conversion. The excess of the settlement amount (excluding dividends) over the stated value of the Preferred Shares was $83.6 million, which was recorded as a deemed dividend and a charge to net (loss) income attributable to common shareholders in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company also incurred $1.6 million of expenses directly related to the redemption and recorded this as an additional deemed dividend charged to net (loss) income attributable to common shareholders.
During the second and third quarters of Fiscal 2025, the Preferred Holders elected to convert the additional 312,500 Preferred Shares, with the final conversion occurring on October 8, 2024. Upon notice of conversions, the Company elected to settle each of the full conversion amounts in cash totaling $401.5 million. The excess of the aggregate settlement amounts over the stated value of the converted Preferred Shares was $71.8 million and was recorded as a direct reduction to additional paid-in capital in the consolidated balance sheet. Upon the final conversion, the Company has satisfied all requirements under the Certificate of Designation.
The following table presents certain conversion measures as of February 3, 2024:

(in millions, except conversion rate and conversion price) |  |  | February 3, 2024
Conversion rate |  |  | 12.5406 |
Conversion price |  |  | $ | 79.7410 |
Potential impact of Preferred Shares if-converted to common shares |  |  | 8.2 |
Liquidation preference (1) |  |  | $ | 665.1 |

(1) Includes the Stated Value of the Preferred Shares plus any declared but unpaid dividends.
In connection with the issuance of the Preferred Shares, the Company incurred direct and incremental expenses of $13.7 million, including financial advisory fees, closing costs, legal expenses and other offering-related expenses. These direct and incremental expenses originally reduced the carrying value of the Preferred Shares, and were accreted through retained earnings as a deemed dividend from the date of issuance through the then first possible known redemption date in November 2024. Accumulated accretion recorded in the consolidated balance sheets as of February 3, 2024 was $12.4 million. Upon final conversion, all direct and incremental expenses have been fully accreted.
7. Common shares, treasury shares and dividends
Common shares
Signet’s common shares have a par value of 18 cents. There have been no issuances of common shares in Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024, or Fiscal 2023.
Treasury shares
Signet may from time to time repurchase common shares under various share repurchase programs authorized by Signet’s Board. Repurchases may be made in the open market, through block trades, through accelerated share repurchase agreements or otherwise. The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases will be determined by the Company at its discretion, and will be subject to economic and market conditions, stock prices, applicable legal requirements and other factors. The repurchase programs are funded through Signet’s existing cash reserves and liquidity sources. Repurchased shares are held as treasury shares and used by Signet primarily for issuance of share-based compensation awards (refer to Note 24), or for general corporate purposes.
Treasury shares primarily represent the cost of shares that the Company purchased in the market under the applicable authorized repurchase program and shares forfeited under the Omnibus Incentive Plan.
The Board authorized repurchases to be made under the 2017 Share Repurchase Program (the “2017 Program”). During Fiscal 2023, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2025, the Board authorized increases in the remaining amount of shares authorized for repurchase under the 2017 Program by $500 million, $263 million, and $200 million, respectively, bringing the total authorization to approximately $2.1 billion as of February 1, 2025. Since inception of the 2017 Program, the Company has repurchased approximately $1.4 billion of shares, with $723.0 million of shares authorized for repurchase remaining as of February 1, 2025.

(1) Signet’s dividend policy results in the dividend payment date being a quarter in arrears from the declaration date. As of February 1, 2025 and February 3, 2024, there was $12.5 million and $10.2 million recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets reflecting the cash dividends declared for the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024, respectively.
Dividends on Preferred Shares
Dividends declared on the Preferred Shares during Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023 were as follows:

| Fiscal 2025 |  | Fiscal 2024 |  | Fiscal 2023
(in millions) | Total dividends (2) |  | Total dividends |  | Total dividends

Fourth quarter (1) | — |  |  | 8.3 |  |  | 8.2 |
Total | $ | 10.3 |  |  | $ | 32.9 |  |  | $ | 32.8 |

(1) Signet’s dividend policy resulted in the Preferred Share dividend payment date being a quarter in arrears from the declaration date. As a result, as of February 3, 2024 $8.3 million has been recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets reflecting the dividends on Preferred Shares declared for the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2024.
(2) Dividends on the Preferred Shares during the first and third quarter of Fiscal 2025 includes $2.1 million and $1.3 million, respectively, of accrued dividends paid in connection with the redemptions further described in Note 6.
There were no cumulative undeclared dividends on the Preferred Shares that reduced net (loss) income attributable to common shareholders during Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024, and Fiscal 2023. In addition, deemed dividends of $1.3 million related to accretion of issuance costs associated with the Preferred Shares were recognized in Fiscal 2025 (Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023: $1.7 million). See Note 6 for additional discussion of the Company’s Preferred Shares.

8. Earnings (loss) per common share (“EPS”)
Basic EPS is computed by dividing net (loss) income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The computation of basic EPS for the periods presented is outlined in the table below:

(in millions, except per share amounts) | Fiscal 2025 |  | Fiscal 2024 |  | Fiscal 2023
Numerator: |  |  |  |  |
Net (loss) income attributable to common shareholders | $ | (35.6) |  |  | $ | 775.9 |  |  | $ | 342.2 |
Denominator: |  |  |  |  |
Weighted average common shares outstanding | 44.1 |  |  | 44.9 |  |  | 46.6 |
EPS – basic | $ | (0.81) |  |  | $ | 17.28 |  |  | $ | 7.34 |

The dilutive effect of share awards represents the potential impact of outstanding awards issued under the Company’s share-based compensation plans, including RSAs, RSUs, PSUs, and stock options issued under the Omnibus Plan and stock options issued under the Share Saving Plans. The dilutive effect of PSUs represents the number of contingently issuable shares that would be issuable if the end of the period was the end of the contingency period and is based on the actual achievement of performance metrics through the end of the current period. The dilutive effect of the 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. Prior to modifications of the Preferred Shares described in Note 6, under the if-converted method, the Preferred Shares were 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. Following the modifications, for any conversions, the denominator includes the weighted average of the potential common shares for the period that the related Preferred Shares were outstanding prior to such conversion. Additionally, in periods in which the Preferred Shares are dilutive, cumulative dividends and accretion for issuance costs associated with the Preferred Shares are added back to net (loss) income attributable to common shareholders. Following the modifications, a modified if-converted method is used to determine potential common share dilution related to the remaining outstanding Preferred Shares. Under this method, dividends and accretion of issuance costs are no longer added back to net (loss) income attributable to common shareholders. See Note 6 for additional discussion of the Company’s Preferred Shares.
The computation of diluted EPS for the periods presented is outlined in the table below:

(in millions, except per share amounts) | Fiscal 2025 |  | Fiscal 2024 |  | Fiscal 2023
Numerator: |  |  |  |  |
Net (loss) income attributable to common shareholders | $ | (35.6) |  |  | $ | 775.9 |  |  | $ | 342.2 |
Add: Dividends on Preferred Shares |  |  | 34.5 |  |  | 34.5 |
Numerator for diluted EPS | $ | (35.6) |  |  | $ | 810.4 |  |  | $ | 376.7 |
Denominator: |  |  |  |  |
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding | 44.1 |  |  | 44.9 |  |  | 46.6 |
Plus: Dilutive effect of share awards (1) | — |  |  | 0.9 |  |  | 2.0 |
Plus: Dilutive effect of Preferred Shares | — |  |  | 8.2 |  |  | 8.1 |
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding | 44.1 |  |  | 54.0 |  |  | 56.7 |
EPS – diluted | $ | (0.81) |  |  | $ | 15.01 |  |  | $ | 6.64 |

(1) For Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023, the estimated dilutive effect of share awards includes 0.1 million, 0.4 million and 0.9 million of contingently issuable PSUs, respectively.
The calculation of diluted EPS excludes the following items for each respective period on the basis that their effect would be antidilutive:

(in millions) | Fiscal 2025 |  | Fiscal 2024 |  | Fiscal 2023
Share awards | 0.4 |  |  | — |  |  | — |
Potential impact of Preferred Shares | 1.7 |  |  | — |  |  | — |

10. Income taxes
Signet and its Bermuda domiciled subsidiaries were not subject to income tax in Bermuda in Fiscal 2025 and prior. On December 27, 2023, Bermuda enacted a 15% corporate income tax that will generally become effective for the Company in Fiscal 2026. The legislation includes a provision referred to as the economic transition adjustment (“ETA”) which is intended to provide a fair and equitable transition into the tax regime. The ETA allows companies to establish tax basis in the assets and liabilities at fair value as of September 30, 2023, excluding goodwill, of any entity subject to the tax. As a result of this provision, the Company recorded a $263.3 million deferred tax asset in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2024 related to the tax basis of certain intangible assets, which it expects to utilize to reduce future cash taxes paid in Bermuda over approximately a 10-year period beginning in Fiscal 2026. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) issued guidance which, if enacted in countries in which the Company operates, would limit the cash benefit recognized under the OECD’s Pillar Two related to the $263.3 million deferred tax asset to the amortization recognized in the first two years of the 10-year period, or approximately $52.7 million.
Signet has global subsidiaries that are subject to tax in the jurisdictions in which they operate. The primary jurisdictions in which the Company’s subsidiaries are currently subject to tax are the US, Canada, the UK, and Ireland.

As the statutory rate of corporation tax in Bermuda is 0%, the differences between the US federal income tax rate and the effective tax rates for Signet for Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023 have been presented below:

| Fiscal 2025 |  | Fiscal 2024 |  | Fiscal 2023
US federal income tax rates | 21.0 | % |  | 21.0 | % |  | 21.0 | %
US state income taxes | 7.1 | % |  | 2.7 | % |  | 2.9 | %
Differences between US federal and foreign statutory income tax rates | 1.1 | % |  | 0.4 | % |  | 0.8 | %
Expenditures permanently disallowable for tax purposes, net of permanent tax benefits | 0.3 | % |  | (0.4) | % |  | (1.4) | %

Impairment of goodwill | 45.7 | % |  | — | % |  | — | %
Base Erosion and Anti-Abuse Tax | 7.7 | % |  | 1.5 | % |  | — | %
Uncertain tax positions | 5.7 | % |  | (2.4) | % |  | 4.7 | %

Other items | 0.9 | % |  | (0.8) | % |  | (0.6) | %
Effective tax rate | 50.7 | % |  | (26.7) | % |  | 16.5 | %

In Fiscal 2025, the Company’s effective tax rate was higher than the US federal income tax rate primarily as a result of impairment c harges of $272.5 million related to non-deductible goodwill, partially offset by the favorable impact from the Company’s global reinsurance and financing arrangements.

Table of Contents
In Fiscal 2024, the Company’s effective tax rate was lower than the US federal income tax rate primarily as a result of the favorable impact of the benefit of $263.3 million from the Bermuda ETA described above, as well as an uncertain tax position of $20.5 million which was settled in Fiscal 2024, the favorable impact from the Company’s global reinsurance and financing arrangements, and discrete tax benefits of $13.5 million recognized in Fiscal 2024. Discrete tax benefits relate to the reclassification of remaining taxes on the pension settlement out of AOCI, the excess tax benefit for share-based compensation which vested during the year, and a reversal of a valuation allowance related to capital losses in the UK.
In Fiscal 2023, the Company’s effective tax rate was lower than the US federal income tax rate primarily as a result of the favorable impacts from the Company’s global reinsurance and financing arrangements, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of an uncertain tax position related to a prior year position of $20.5 million recorded in Fiscal 2023.
Deferred taxes
The effect of temporary differences and carryforwards giving rise to deferred tax assets (liabilities) as of February 1, 2025 and February 3, 2024 consisted of the following:

As of February 1, 2025, Signet had deferred tax assets associated with US Federal and state net operating loss carry forwards of $34.4 million, of which $22.3 million are subject to ownership change limitations rules under Section 382 of the IRC and various US state regulations. Federal net operating losses can be carried forward indefinitely and state net operating losses expire between 2025 and 2041. Signet had deferred tax assets associated with foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $23.7 million as of February 1,

2025, most of which can be carried forward indefinitely. As of February 1, 2025, Signet had foreign capital loss carryforward deferred tax assets of $11.3 million (Fiscal 2024: $11.5 million), which can be carried forward over an indefinite period and are only available to offset future capital gains.
The decrease in the total valuation allowance in Fiscal 2025 was $3.4 million. The valuation allowance as of February 1, 2025 primarily relates to certain state deferred tax assets and foreign capital loss carry forwards that, in the judgment of management, are not more likely than not to be realized.
Signet believes that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets not subject to a valuation allowance as of February 1, 2025 will be offset where permissible by deferred tax liabilities or realized on future tax returns, primarily from the generation of future taxable income.
Uncertain tax positions
The following table summarizes the activity related to the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits for US federal, US state and non-US tax jurisdictions for Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023:

(in millions) | Fiscal 2025 |  | Fiscal 2024 |  | Fiscal 2023
Unrecognized tax benefits, beginning of period | $ | 26.0 |  |  | $ | 85.9 |  |  | $ | 24.9 |
Increases related to current year tax positions | 1.4 |  |  | 1.5 |  |  | 1.6 |

Unrecognized tax benefits, end of period | $ | 28.1 |  |  | $ | 26.0 |  |  | $ | 85.9 |

As of February 1, 2025, Signet had approximately $28.1 million of unrecognized tax benefits in respect to uncertain tax positions. The unrecognized tax benefits relate primarily to intercompany deductions, including financing arrangements and intra-group charges which are subject to different and changing interpretations of tax law. Signet recognizes accrued interest and, where appropriate, penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within income tax expense (benefit) in the consolidated statements of operations. As of February 1, 2025, Signet had accrued interest of $15.8 million and $0.8 million of accrued penalties. If all of these unrecognized tax benefits were settled in Signet’s favor, the effective income tax rate would be favorably impacted by $40.7 million.
Over the next twelve months management believes that it is reasonably possible that there could be a reduction of some or all of the unrecognized tax benefits as of February 1, 2025 due to settlement of the uncertain tax positions with the tax authorities.
Signet has business activity in all states within the US and files income tax returns for the US federal jurisdiction and all applicable states. Signet also files income tax returns in the UK, Canada and certain other foreign jurisdictions. Signet is subject to examinations by the US federal and state and Canadian tax authorities for tax years ending after November 1, 2011 and is subject to examination by the UK tax authority for tax years ending after February 1, 2014. The Company has not received any material assessments to date related to open examinations in any of the above jurisdictions; however, the Company has been engaged with various tax authorities related to inquiries in the normal course of their examinations. Should these tax authorities assess the Company for one or more of the tax positions taken within the Company’s income tax filings, and should the tax authorities prevail in such assessments, there could be a material impact on our results of operations and cash flows in future periods.
The Company’s income tax positions are based upon interpretation of the tax laws in effect in the various countries in which Signet operates at the time the position was recognized. If these tax laws, treaties or regulations, including the recent Bermuda Corporate Income Tax Act of 2023 noted above, were to change or any tax authority were to successfully challenge Signet’s assessment of the effects of such laws, treaties and regulations, a higher effective tax rate and/or higher cash tax payments may result, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows.
11. Credit card outsourcing programs
The Company has entered into various agreements with Comenity Bank and Comenity Capital Bank (collectively “Comenity”) and Concora Credit Inc. (“Concora”) through its subsidiaries Sterling Jewelers Inc. (“Sterling”) and Zale Delaware, Inc. (“Zale”), to outsource its private label credit card programs. Under the original agreements, Comenity provided credit services to all prime credit customers for the Sterling brands and to all credit card customers for the Zale brands. In May 2021, both the Sterling and Zale agreements (“Program Agreements”) with Comenity and Concora were amended and restated to provide credit services to prime and non-prime customers. The Program Agreements have subsequently been further amended to, among other matters, extend the terms of the Program Agreements to December 31, 2028.

(1) See Note 16 for additional information
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 asset group, and recording an impairment loss for the amount that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value. The Company primarily utilizes 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.
Store asset impairments
During Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023, the Company completed its quarterly triggering event assessments and determined that triggering events had occurred for certain long-lived asset groups at individual stores based on real estate assessments (including store closure decisions) and store performance for the remaining lease period for certain stores that required an impairment assessment. 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 initial recoverability test, a fair value assessment for these long-lived assets was performed.
As a result of the assessment of the estimated fair values, the Company recorded impairment charges for property and equipment of $3.5 million in Fiscal 2025 (Fiscal 2024: $3.8 million; Fiscal 2023: $3.7 million). In addition, the Company recorded net ROU asset impairment charges of $2.0 million in Fiscal 2025 (Fiscal 2024: $2.7 million; Fiscal 2023: $3.1 million).
Support center asset impairment
During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2023, due to the change in working environments at certain of the Company’s administrative offices resulting from COVID-19, the Company substantially vacated two leased facilities in its Akron, Ohio support center. The significant change in use of these facilities resulted in a triggering event to evaluate these asset groups for impairment, and they were deemed to have failed the initial recoverability test on an undiscounted basis. A fair value assessment for these long-lived assets was thus performed, and as a result of the assessment of the estimated fair values, the Company recorded impairment charges in the consolidated statement of operations within its North America reportable segment for property and equipment of $0.6 million and impairment charges for ROU assets of $15.3 million in Fiscal 2023.
Certain factors impacting the Company’s business could continue to further negatively affect the operating performance and cash flows of the previously impaired stores or additional stores, including the impacts of inflation, continued changes in consumer behavior and shifts in discretionary spending, the inability to achieve or maintain cost savings or other strategic initiatives, changes in real estate strategy or other macroeconomic factors which influence consumer behavior. In 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-level assets in future periods.
15. Leases
The Company occupies certain properties and holds machinery and vehicles under operating leases. The Company 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 cost of sales as incurred. Premiums paid to acquire short-term leasehold properties and inducements to enter into a lease are recognized on
86

a straight-line basis over the lease term. Certain leases provide for contingent rent based on a percentage of sales in excess of a predetermined level. 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 ROU assets and current and non-current operating lease liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
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 secured borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date, including the underlying term and currency of the lease, 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. Leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet, and we recognize short-term lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term and we recognize variable lease expense for these leases in the period in which the obligation is incurred. 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. ASC 842, Leases, allows a lessee, as an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset, to choose not to separate non-lease components from lease components and instead to account for each separate lease component and the non-lease components associated with that lease component as a single lease component. The Company has elected this practical expedient as presented in ASC 842, and does not separate non-lease components for all underlying asset classes. 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 statements of cash flows. Expenditures made 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 weighted average lease term and discount rate for the Company’s outstanding operating leases as of February 1, 2025 and February 3, 2024 were as follows:

|  | February 1, 2025 |  | February 3, 2024
Weighted average remaining lease term |  | 6.7 years |  | 7.0 years

16. Goodwill and intangibles
The following summarizes the activity of the Company’s goodwill and intangible assets during the periods presented:
Fiscal 2023
During Fiscal 2023, the Company completed its annual evaluation of its indefinite-lived intangible assets, including goodwill and trade names, and through the qualitative 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.
In connection with the acquisition of Blue Nile on August 19, 2022, the Company recognized $96.0 million of indefinite-lived intangible assets and $256.8 million of goodwill, which are reported in the North America reportable segment. Refer to Note 4 for additional information.
During Fiscal 2023, 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 intangible assets exceeded their fair values.
Fiscal 2024
During Fiscal 2024, the Company completed its annual evaluation of its indefinite-lived intangible assets, including goodwill and trade names. The Company utilized the qualitative assessment for all reporting units and trade names, except the Digital brands and Diamonds Direct reporting units and trade names, for which the quantitative assessment was utilized. Through the qualitative 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. The Company noted no impairment through the quantitative assessments based on the estimated fair values of the reporting units and trade names exceeding their carrying values.
During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2024, the Company determined a triggering event had occurred requiring an interim impairment assessment for the Blue Nile trade name which management performed on a quantitative basis. The Company noted no impairment based on the estimated fair value of the trade name approximating its carrying value. The Company did not identify any other events or conditions that would indicate that it was more likely than not that the carrying values of the reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets exceeded their fair values during Fiscal 2024.
Fiscal 2025
During Fiscal 2025, the Company completed its annual evaluation of its indefinite-lived intangible assets, including goodwill and trade names. The Company utilized the qualitative assessment for all reporting units and trade names, except the Digital brands and Diamonds Direct reporting units and the Diamonds Direct and Blue Nile trade names, for which the quantitative assessment was utilized. Through the qualitative 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.
As part of the quantitative assessments, management reevaluated its long-term cash flow projections, primarily related to sales growth in the Digital brands and Diamonds Direct. Both brands have a higher bridal mix compared to the rest of Signet, and thus the slower than expected engagement recovery and continued pressure on consumer discretionary spending have had a disproportionate impact on these businesses as compared to the other Signet brands. In addition, to a lesser degree, the Digital brands sales have been impacted by market declines in lab-grown diamond pricing over the past year. Management also determined an increase in discount rates was required to reflect the current interest rate environment at the valuation date, as well as to reflect additional forecast risk related to the Digital brands due to the previously discussed challenges related to the integration of Blue Nile. Therefore, these higher discount rates, in conjunction with the revised cash flow projections, resulted in lower than previously projected discounted cash flows for the
88

Table of Contents
reporting units and trade names which negatively affected the valuations compared to previous valuations. Based on the results of the quantitative impairment assessments, the Company determined that no impairment was required for the Diamonds Direct reporting unit, as its estimated fair value exceeded its carrying value. However, during the second quarter of Fiscal 2025, the Company recognized pre-tax impairment charges in the consolidated statement of operations within its North America reportable segment related to the Diamonds Direct trade name, the Digital brands reporting unit, and the Blue Nile trade name of $7 million, $123 million and $36 million, respectively, as their respective carrying values exceeded their fair values. As a result of these impairments, as of the annual valuation date of June 1, 2024, the carrying values of the Diamonds Direct trade name, Digital brands goodwill, and Blue Nile trade name were reduced to their estimated fair values of $119 million, $203.1 million, and $60 million, respectively.
During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2025, primarily due to softer than expected Holiday Season results, the Company determined triggering events had occurred requiring interim impairment assessments for the Digital brands reporting unit as well as the Blue Nile, James Allen and Diamonds Direct trade names, which management performed on a quantitative basis. As part of the quantitative assessments, management reevaluated its long-term cash flow projections, primarily related to sales growth in the Digital brands and Diamonds Direct. As described above, the slower than expected engagement recovery continued in the second half of Fiscal 2025, which had a disproportionate impact on these businesses due to their higher bridal mix compared to the rest of Signet. Management also determined an increase in discount rates was required to reflect the current interest rate environment at the valuation date, as well as to reflect additional forecast risk related to the Digital brands due to the previously discussed challenges related to the integration of Blue Nile. The Digital brands’ results were also impacted by lower traffic post re-platforming due to search engine optimization during the second half of the year. Therefore, these higher discount rates, in conjunction with the revised cash flow projections, resulted in lower than previously projected discounted cash flows for the reporting unit and trade names which negatively affected the fair value estimates compared to previous valuations. The Company recognized pre-tax impairment charges in the consolidated statement of operations within its North America reportable segment related to the Digital brands reporting unit, Blue Nile trade name, James Allen trade name, and the Diamonds Direct trade name of $149.5 million, $41 million, $3 million, and $7 million, respectively, as their respective carrying values exceeded their fair values. As a result of these impairments, as of February 1, 2025, the carrying values of the Digital brands goodwill, Blue Nile trade name, James Allen trade name, and Diamonds Direct trade name were reduced to their estimated fair values of $53.6 million, $19 million, $15 million, and $112 million, respectively. The Company did not identify any other events or conditions that would indicate that it was more likely than not that the carrying values of the reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets exceed their fair values during Fiscal 2025.
Management noted uncertainties exist related to the post-election macroeconomic environment in the US and abroad, including tariffs, economic and tax policy, inflation and interest rates. These factors could unfavorably impact consumer confidence and discretionary spending, and thus may impact the key assumptions used to estimate fair value, such as sales trends, margin trends, long-term growth rates and discount rates. These factors could also negatively affect the share price of the Company’s common stock. An increase in the discount rate and/or a further softening of sales and operating income trends for any of the Company’s reporting units and related trade names, particularly during peak selling seasons, could result in a further decline in the estimated fair values of the indefinite-lived intangible assets, including goodwill, which could result in future material impairment charges, particularly for Diamonds Direct and Digital brands as described above.
Goodwill
The following table summarizes the Company’s goodwill by reportable segment:

(in millions) | North America |  |  |  |  |  |
Balance at January 28, 2023 (1) | $ | 751.7 |  |  |  |  |  |  |

(1) The change in the indefinite-lived intangible asset balances during the periods presented was primarily due to the trade name impairment charges as described above.
Amortization expense relating to intangible assets was $0.9 million in Fiscal 2025 (Fiscal 2024: $1.9 million; Fiscal 2023: $2.3 million). Unfavorable contracts are classified as liabilities and amortization is recognized over the term of the underlying contract. Amortization relating to intangible liabilities was $1.8 million in Fiscal 2025 (Fiscal 2024: $1.8 million; Fiscal 2023: $1.8 million). Expected future amortization for intangible assets and intangible liabilities recorded at February 1, 2025 is as follows:

Investment in Sasmat
During Fiscal 2023, the Company acquired a 25% interest in Sasmat Retail, S.L. (“Sasmat”) for $17.1 million in cash. Sasmat is a Spanish jewelry retailer that operates through both online and brick and mortar retail operations. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company has the option to acquire the remaining 75% of Sasmat exercisable at the earlier of June 2026 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. During Fiscal 2025, the Company provided loans totaling $8.4 million to Sasmat with maturities up to 2030, or earlier, should the Company exercise its option noted above. The Sasmat investment and loans are recorded within other non-current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The Sasmat investment and loans did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations during the periods presented.
18. Derivatives
Derivative transactions are used by Signet for risk management purposes to address risks inherent in the Company’s business operations and sources of financing. The Company’s main risks 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 Signet’s Chief Operating and Financial Officer (“CFO”). 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.
Market risk
The Company primarily generates revenues and incurs expenses in US dollars, Canadian dollars and British pounds. As a portion of the International reportable segment’s purchases and purchases made by the Canadian operations of the North America reportable segment are denominated in US dollars, the Company 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. The Company’s objective is to minimize net foreign exchange exposure to the consolidated statements of operations on non-US dollar denominated items through managing cash levels, non-US dollar denominated intra-entity balances and foreign currency exchange contracts and 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.
Commodity risks
The Company has exposure to movements in the price of the underlying precious metal raw material components of the products sold by Signet. 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 CFO. In particular, when price and volume warrant such actions, Signet undertakes 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
The Company’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. Cash generated from operations and external financing are the main sources of funding, which supplement the Company’s resources in meeting liquidity requirements.
The primary external source of funding is the Company’s asset-based credit facility as described in Note 20.
Interest rate risk
The Company has exposure to movements in interest rates associated with cash and borrowings. The Company may enter into various interest rate protection agreements in order to limit the impact of movements in interest rates.
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 February 1, 2025, 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.

Foreign currency risks
The following types of derivative financial instruments are utilized by the Company 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 February 1, 2025 was $13.3 million (February 3, 2024: $5.1 million). These contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges and will be settled over the next 11 months (February 3, 2024: 6 months). 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 periods presented as all forecasted transactions are expected to occur as originally planned. As of February 1, 2025, based on current valuations, the Company expects approximately $0.4 million of net pre-tax derivative gains 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 February 1, 2025 was $86.6 million (February 3, 2024: $57.2 million).
The Company recognizes activity related to these derivative instruments within other operating (expense) income, net in the consolidated statements of operations. Net losses were $6.3 million during Fiscal 2025 (Fiscal 2024: $0.1 million; Fiscal 2023: $12.9 million).
The bank counterparties to the derivative instruments expose the Company to credit-related losses in the event of their non-performance. However, to mitigate that risk, the Company only contracts with counterparties that meet certain minimum requirements under its counterparty risk assessment process. As of February 1, 2025, the Company believes that this credit risk did not materially change the fair value of the foreign currency contracts.
19. Fair value measurement
The estimated fair value of Signet’s financial instruments held or issued to finance the Company’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 the Company 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
The Company 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:

| February 1, 2025 |  | February 3, 2024
(in millions) | Carrying Value |  | Level 1 |  | Level 2 |  | Carrying Value |  | Level 1 |  | Level 2
Assets: |  |  |  |  |  |  |

Foreign currency contracts | 0.4 |  |  | — |  |  | 0.4 |  |  | 0.1 |  |  | — |  |  | 0.1 |

Foreign currency contracts | $ | (0.7) |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | (0.7) |  |  | $ | (0.3) |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | (0.3) |

Investments in US Treasury 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

Table of Contents
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. See Note 17 for additional information related to the Company’s available-for-sale investments. The fair value of derivative financial instruments has been determined based on market value equivalents on the balance sheet dates, taking into account the current interest rate environment and foreign currency forward rates, and therefore were classified as Level 2 measurements in the fair value hierarchy. See Note 18 for additional information related to the Company’s derivatives.
The Company performed impairment tests for certain long-lived assets during Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023. The Company utilizes primarily the replacement cost method (a level 3 valuation 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 14 for additional information.
Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are evaluated for impairment annually or more frequently if events or conditions were to indicate the carrying value of a reporting unit or an indefinite-lived intangible asset may be greater than its fair value. As described in Note 16, during Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024, the Company performed interim and annual impairment assessments on a quantitative basis for certain reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets. The fair values used in these assessments were calculated using a combination of the income and market approaches for the reporting units and the relief from royalty method for the indefinite-lived intangible assets. The fair values are Level 3 valuations based on certain unobservable inputs, including estimated sales growth, projected cash flows, discount rates, comparable company earnings multiples, and royalty rates, aligned with market-based assumptions. These unobservable inputs would be utilized by market participants in valuing these assets or prices of similar assets. See Note 16 for additional information.
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, 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 value of the Senior Notes (as defined in Note 20) was determined using quoted market prices in inactive markets based upon current observable market interest rates and therefore were classified as Level 2 measurements in the fair value hierarchy. The following table provides a summary of the carrying amount and fair value of outstanding debt:

|  |  | February 3, 2024
(in millions) |  |  |  |  | Carrying Value |  | Fair Value
4.70% Senior unsecured notes due in June 2024 (Level 2) (1) |  |  |  |  | $ | 147.7 |  |  | $ | 146.3 |

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 June 2024 (the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes were jointly and severally guaranteed, on a full and unconditional basis, by the Company and by certain of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries. 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”). Signet UK Finance tendered $239.6 million of the Senior Notes, representing a purchase price of $950.00 per $1,000.00 in principal, leaving $147.8 million of the Senior Notes outstanding after the Tender Offer.
The Company fully repaid the Senior Notes upon maturity during the second quarter of Fiscal 2025.

Asset-based credit facility
On September 27, 2019, the Company entered into a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility in an aggregate committed amount of $1.5 billion (the “ABL”). The Company has the option to increase the size of the ABL by up to an additional $600 million. On August 23, 2024, the Company entered into the Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”) to amend the ABL. The Fourth Amendment extended the maturity of the ABL from July 28, 2026 to August 23, 2029, and reduced the ABL aggregate commitment to $1.2 billion. In addition, the Fourth Amendment expands the assets counted in the calculation of the borrowing base applicable to the ABL to include all specified assets of borrower and guarantor entities. The Company incurred additional debt issuance costs of $4.3 million relating to the Fourth Amendment of the ABL during Fiscal 2025.
Revolving loans under the ABL 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 is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, subject to customary exceptions. Borrowings under the ABL, as applicable, bear interest at the Company’s option at either term rate plus the applicable margin or a base rate plus the applicable margin, depending on the excess availability under the ABL. As of February 1, 2025, the interest rate applicable to the ABL was 5.9% (February 3, 2024: 6.7%). The Company had stand-by letters of credit outstanding of $18.0 million on the ABL as of February 1, 2025 (February 3, 2024: $18.2 million). The Company had no outstanding borrowings on the ABL for the periods presented and its available borrowing capacity was $1.2 billion on the ABL as of February 1, 2025 (February 3, 2024: $1.1 billion).
If the excess availability under the ABL falls below the threshold specified in the ABL agreement, the Company will be required to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.00 to 1.00. As of February 1, 2025, the threshold related to the fixed coverage ratio was approximately $116 million. The ABL 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 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 would permit the lenders to accelerate the indebtedness and terminate the ABL.
The Company has incurred a total of $16.9 million of debt issuance costs relating to the ABL. Unamortized debt issuance costs related to the ABL totaled $7.1 million as of February 1, 2025 (February 3, 2024: $4.6 million), and are recorded within other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Amortization relating to the debt issuance costs of $1.8 million is recorded as a component of interest income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations for Fiscal 2025 (Fiscal 2024: $1.8 million; Fiscal 2023: $1.9 million).

The Company satisfies share option exercises and the vesting of RSAs, RSUs, and PSUs under its plans with the issuance of treasury shares.
Omnibus Plan
In June 2018, Signet’s shareholders approved and the Company adopted the Signet Jewelers Limited 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan (as amended to the date hereto, the “2018 Omnibus Plan”). Upon adoption of the 2018 Omnibus Plan, shares that were previously available under the Signet Jewelers Limited Omnibus Incentive Plan, which was approved in June 2009 (the “2009 Omnibus Plan”, and collectively with the 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan, the “Omnibus Plans”) are no longer available for future grants and were not transferred to the 2018 Omnibus Plan. Awards that may be granted under the 2018 Omnibus Plan include RSAs, RSUs, PSUs, common shares, stock options, stock appreciation rights and other stock-based awards. The Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023 annual awards granted under the Omnibus Plans have two elements: RSUs and PSUs. PSUs awarded in Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023 include two performance measures: revenue and free cash flow (defined as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures). For the performance measures, cumulative results achieved during the relevant three-year performance period for Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024 awards and a two-year performance period for Fiscal 2023 awards are compared to target metrics established in the underlying grant agreements, as approved by the Human Capital and Compensation Committee of the Board.
The time-based stock options generally vest on the third anniversary of the grant date and have a ten-year contractual term, subject to continued employment. RSUs generally have a one or three-year vesting period, subject to continued service or employment. The 2018 Omnibus Plan permits the grant of awards to employees, non-employee directors and consultants for up to 6,975,000 common shares.
RSUs and PSUs do not have dividend rights until vesting, and thus the grant date fair value of these awards is adjusted based on the dividend yield and term of the awards. The significant assumptions utilized to estimate the weighted-average fair value of RSUs and PSUs granted under the 2018 Omnibus Plan are as follows:

| Fiscal 2025 |  | Fiscal 2024 |  | Fiscal 2023
Share price | $ | 97.49 |  |  | $ | 62.71 |  |  | $ | 77.39 |
Expected term | 2.7 years |  | 2.9 years |  | 2.9 years
Dividend yield | 1.2 | % |  | 0.9 | % |  | 3.0 | %
Fair value | $ | 94.83 |  |  | $ | 61.06 |  |  | $ | 71.19 |

Only RSUs and PSUs were granted during Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 or Fiscal 2023.
The expected term utilized is the length of time the awards are expected to be outstanding, primarily based on the vesting period and expiration date of the awards. The dividend yield is based on a combination of historical actual dividend yields and projected dividend yields.
The Fiscal 2025 activity for RSUs and PSUs granted under the Omnibus Plans is as follows:

(in millions, except per share amounts) | Number of shares |  | Weighted average grant date fair value |  | Weighted average remaining contractual life |  | Intrinsic value (1)
Outstanding at February 3, 2024 | 1.8 |  |  | $ | 65.62 |  |  | 1.6 years |  | $ | 169.3 |
Fiscal 2025 activity: |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Granted | 0.8 |  |  | 94.83 |  |  |  |  |
Vested | (0.4) |  |  | 63.67 |  |  |  |  |

Outstanding at February 1, 2025 | 1.7 |  |  | $ | 77.77 |  |  | 1.4 years |  | $ | 100.2 |

(1) Intrinsic value for outstanding RSUs and PSUs is based on the fair market value of Signet’s common stock on the last business day of the fiscal year. There were no RSAs outstanding as of February 1, 2025.

25. Restructuring
During the second quarter of Fiscal 2024, the Company initiated a plan to rationalize its store footprint across the Company, as well as to reorganize certain centralized functions within its North America and UK support centers (collectively, the “Plan”). During the first quarter of Fiscal 2025, as a result of the continued strategic review of the UK business, the Company expanded the Plan in order to further redesign the operating model of the UK business aimed at improving profitability, with margins in line with the rest of the business within the next three years. The store footprint reduction included the closure of approximately 150 underperforming stores across both the North America and International reportable segments through the end of Fiscal 2025 and resulted in costs primarily for severance and asset disposals or impairment. The reorganization of certain support functions included the elimination of certain roles resulting in expenses primarily related to severance and other employee-related costs. Restructuring activities related to the Plan were substantially completed in Fiscal 2025.
D uring Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024, the Company recorded charges related to th e Plan of $14.2 million and $11.3 million, respectively, consisting of the following: $6.4 million and $5.4 million, respectively, for employee-related costs; $5.1 million and $1.6 million, respectively, for store c losure costs; and $2.7 million and $4.3 million, respectively, related to asset impairments. Employee-related and store closure costs are recorded within other operating (expense) income, net and asset impairments are recorded within asset impairments, net within the consolidated statements of operations. There are no significant liabilities related to the Plan remaining as of February 1, 2025.
Cumulative costs to date related to the Plan are $25.5 million, consisting of the following: $11.8 million for employee-related costs; $6.7 million for store c losure costs; and $7.0 million related to asset impairments.
26. Retirement plans
Signet previously provided a defined benefit pension plan in the UK (the “UK Plan”) to participating eligible employees, which was frozen effective in October 2019. All future benefit accruals under the plan ceased as of that date.
On July 29, 2021, Signet Group Limited (“SGL”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an agreement with Signet Pension Trustee Limited (the “Trustee”), as trustee of the Signet Group Pension Scheme (the “Pension Scheme”), to facilitate the Trustee entering into a bulk purchase annuity policy ("BPA"), securing accrued liabilities under the Pension Scheme with Rothesay Life Plc ("Rothesay") and subsequently, to wind up the Pension Scheme and ultimately buy-out and terminate the BPA through issuance of individual policies to the UK Plan participants. By irrevocably transferring these obligations to Rothesay, the Company would eliminate its projected benefit obligation under the Pension Scheme.
On April 22, 2022, the Trustee entered into a Deed Poll agreement with Rothesay and a Deed of Assignment with SGL to facilitate the assignment of individual policies under the BPA for a significant portion of the participants in the UK Plan. The Deed Poll and Deed of Assignment, collectively, irrevocably relieved SGL and the Trustee of its obligations under the policies to the Assigned Participants.
As a result of the Deed Poll and Deed of Assignment, as well as voluntary lump sum distributions, the Company determined that a transfer of all remaining risks occurred with respect to these groups of participants. Thus, management concluded that the Company triggered settlement accounting and performed a remeasurement of the Pension Scheme, which resulted in a non-cash, pre-tax settlement charge of $131.9 million recorded within other non-operating income (expense), net within the consolidated statements of operations during the first quarter of Fiscal 2023.
97

Table of Contents
Additional settlement events occurred in the second and fourth quarters of Fiscal 2023 and the first quarter of Fiscal 2024, which resulted in non-cash, pre-tax settlement charges of $0.9 million, $0.9 million and $0.2 million, respectively, which were recorded within other non-operating income (expense), net within the consolidated statements of operations. With the transfer in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024, the Company finalized the buy-out of the BPA and settlement of the remaining obligations under the Pension Scheme.
On December 13, 2023, the Trustee entered into a Deed of Determination with SGL to finalize the wind-up of the Pension Scheme. The Deed of Determination discharged SGL and the Trustee from all duties and obligations under the Pension Scheme. As a result, the UK Plan is not expected to have any future benefit payments.
In connection with the BPA and subsequent buy-outs, SGL contributed a total of £16.1 million (approximately $21.5 million), to the Pension Scheme to enable the Trustee to pay for any and all costs incurred by the Trustee as part of the Transactions.
The settlement charges recorded in Fiscal 2023 and Fiscal 2024 relate to the pro-rata recognition of previously unrecognized actuarial losses and prior service costs out of AOCI and into earnings associated with the buy-out of the benefit obligation. No further amounts remain unrecognized in AOCI.
Prior to the finalization of the wind-up of the Pension Scheme, the net periodic pension costs of the UK Plan were measured on an actuarial basis using the projected unit credit method and several actuarial assumptions, the most significant of which were the discount rate and the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets. Other material assumptions included rates of participant mortality, the expected long-term rate of compensation and pension increases, and rates of employee attrition. Gains and losses occurred when actual experience differed from actuarial assumptions. If such gains or losses exceeded 10% of the greater of plan assets or plan liabilities, Signet amortized those gains or losses over the average remaining service period of the employees. The service cost component of net periodic pension cost was charged to SG&A while non-service, interest and other costs components were charged to other non-operating expense, net, in the consolidated statements of operations.
The components of pre-tax net periodic pension benefit cost and other amounts recognized in OCI for the UK Plan as of Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023 were as follows:

(in millions) |  |  | Fiscal 2024 |  | Fiscal 2023
Components of net periodic benefit cost: |  |  |  |  |
Interest cost |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | (1.0) |
Expected return on UK Plan assets |  |  | (2.5) |  |  | (0.3) |
Amortization of unrecognized actuarial losses |  |  | — |  |  | (3.5) |
Amortization of unrecognized net prior service costs |  |  | — |  |  | (0.3) |
Pension settlement loss |  |  | (0.2) |  |  | (133.7) |
Total net periodic benefit cost |  |  | $ | (2.7) |  |  | $ | (138.8) |
Other changes in assets and benefit obligations recognized in OCI |  |  | 0.2 |  |  | 137.0 |
Total recognized in net periodic pension benefit cost and OCI |  |  | $ | (2.5) |  |  | $ | (1.8) |

Other retirement plans
Signet offers a defined contribution plan for UK employees, which replaced the UK Plan for new UK employees. Signet’s contributions to this plan in Fiscal 2025 were $2.1 million (Fiscal 2024: $2.4 million; Fiscal 2023: $2.5 million).
In the US, Signet operates a defined contribution 401(k) retirement savings plan for all eligible employees who meet minimum age and service requirements. The assets of this plan are held in a separate trust and Signet matches 50% of up to 6% of employee elective salary deferrals, subject to statutory limitations. Signet’s contributions to this plan in Fiscal 2025 were $12.9 million (Fiscal 2024: $13.6 million; Fiscal 2023: $12.6 million).
The Company has also established two unfunded, non-qualified deferred compensation plans (“DCP”), one of which permits certain management and highly compensated employees to elect annually to defer all or a portion of their compensation and are credited earnings or losses on the deferred amounts under the terms of the plan and the other of which is frozen as to new participants and new deferrals. Beginning in April 2011, the DCP provided for a matching contribution based on each participant’s annual compensation deferral. The DCP also permits employer contributions on a discretionary basis. The cost Signet recognized in connection with the DCP in Fiscal 2025 was $7.3 million (Fiscal 2024: $5.4 million; Fiscal 2023: $1.7 million).

Although it is not required, the Company has elected to fund the DCP by investing in trust-owned life insurance policies and mutual funds. The value and classification of the mutual funds are as follows:

| As of February 1, 2025 |  | As of February 3, 2024
(in millions) | Total |  | Level 1 |  |  |  | Total |  | Level 1 |  |

Total assets | $ | 31.0 |  |  | $ | 28.3 |  |  |  |  | $ | 25.2 |  |  | $ | 22.4 |  |  |

The Company also has company-owned life insurance policies held for purposes of funding the DCP totaling $4.4 million and $5.6 million as of February 1, 2025 and February 3, 2024, respectively.
As of February 1, 2025 and February 3, 2024, the total liability recorded by the Company for the DCP was $42.1 million and $38.5 million, respectively.
27. Supplier finance program
The Company entered into a supplier finance program during Fiscal 2024. Under this program, a financial intermediary acts as the Company’s paying agent with respect to accounts payable due to certain suppliers. The Company agrees to pay the financial intermediary the stated amount of the confirmed invoices from the designated suppliers on the original maturity dates of the invoices. The supplier finance program enables Company suppliers to be paid by the financial intermediary earlier than the due date on the applicable invoice. The Company negotiates payment terms directly with its suppliers for the purchase of goods and services. No guarantees or collateral are provided by the Company under the supplier finance program. All activity related to the supplier finance program is included in accounts payable in the consolidated balance sheets and within operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
The following table is a rollforward of the outstanding obligations for the Company’s supplier finance program:

(in millions) | Fiscal 2025 |  |
Confirmed obligations outstanding, beginning of period | $ | 7.8 |  |  |
Invoices confirmed | 44.2 |  |  |
Invoices paid | (39.1) |  |  |
Confirmed obligations outstanding, end of period | $ | 12.9 |  |  |

28. Commitments and contingencies
Capital commitments
The Company had capital commitments of $51.9 million as of February 1, 2025 (February 3, 2024: $53.7 million). These commitments generally relate to store construction and capital investments in IT. Additionally, the Company has certain commitments to maintain or improve leased properties; however, there are no minimum requirements or otherwise committed amounts for these projects as of February 1, 2025 or February 3, 2024.
Contingent property liabilities
Property leases have been assigned to third parties in the UK by Signet and remained unexpired and occupied by assignees. Should the assignees fail to fulfill any obligations in respect of those leases, the Company may be liable for those defaults. The maximum potential amount of future payments Signet could be required to make under these guarantees is $24.4 million as of February 1, 2025. No liabilities have been recorded as the likelihood of default was deemed to be remote and the fair value of the guarantees is not material. The amount of such claims arising to date has not been material.

Legal proceedings
The Company is routinely a party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. These legal proceedings primarily include employment-related and commercial claims. The Company does not believe that the outcome of any such legal proceedings pending against the Company would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations.
Previously settled matters
Employment practices
As previously disclosed, on June 8, 2022, the Company, through its subsidiary Sterling Jewelers Inc., reached a settlement agreement on a collective class arbitration proceeding associated with certain store-level employment practices. As a result of the settlement, the Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $188 million within other operating (expense) income, net in the consolidated statements of operations during Fiscal 2023. This settlement charge included the payments to the class of approximately $175 million, as well as estimated employer payroll taxes, class administration fees and class counsel attorneys’ fees and costs. Based on the final assessment of employer payroll taxes due, the total settlement charge was reduced to approximately $185 million, which was fully funded by the Company in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024.
Other matters
As previously disclosed, in February 2023, the Company received an unfavorable ruling under a private arbitration involving a dispute with a vendor alleging breach of contract. As a result of this ruling, during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2023, the Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $15.9 million within other operating (expense) income, net in the consolidated statements of operations. This was paid in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024.
29. Subsequent event
On March 19, 2025, the Company announced its new corporate strategy, Grow Brand Love. In connection with this strategic transformation, the Company will be undergoing a reorganization (the “GBL Plan”) of its brand structure and certain functional areas within its North America reportable segment, as well as an optimization of its store fleet to primarily exit underperforming stores and reposition stores from declining venues. The Company expects to incur severance and other employee-related costs, and may also incur additional costs for contract termination and store closures as part of the GBL Plan. Management is unable to provide an estimate of such costs at this time based on the early stages of the GBL Plan.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
None.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Management’s evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
Signet’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by Signet in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. The procedures are also designed to ensure that information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Operating and Financial Officer (principal financial officer), as appropriate to allow timely decisions to be made regarding required disclosure. Internal controls over financial reporting, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and the override of controls. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only “reasonable assurance” with respect to the reliability of financial reporting and financial statement preparation and presentation.
Management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures in accordance with Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on such evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of February 1, 2025.
Management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP.
Management conducted an evaluation of internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this evaluation, management determined that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective to accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level as of February 1, 2025.
The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP, audited the Fiscal 2025 consolidated financial statements of Signet and has also audited the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of February 1, 2025. Unqualified opinions have been issued thereon, the details of which are included within Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended February 1, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION
Rule 10b5-1 Trading Arrangements
During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2025, no director or officer of the Company, as defined in Rule 16a-1(f), adopted, modified, or terminated a Rule 10b5-1 Trading Arrangement or non-Rule 10b5-1 Trading Arrangement (as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K).
Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities
On March 19, 2025, the Company announced its new corporate strategy, Grow Brand Love. In connection with this strategic transformation, the Company will be undergoing a reorganization (the “GBL Plan”) of its brand structure and certain functional areas within its North America reportable segment, as well as an optimization of its store fleet to primarily exit underperforming stores and reposition stores from declining venues. The Company expects to incur severance and other employee-related costs, and may also incur additional costs for contract termination and store closures as part of the GBL Plan. Management is unable to provide an estimate of such costs at this time based on the early stages of the GBL Plan. Management is targeting cost savings of up to $100 million from the actions under the GBL Plan on an annualized basis.
