Virginia C. Drosos, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “On behalf of the Signet team, our thoughts and prayers are with all those who are impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. We have heartfelt appreciation and admiration for all who are working tirelessly to fight the spread of this disease.”
Ms. Drosos continued, “While it is difficult in the current environment to reflect on the past, it’s important to consider where we’ve been and look ahead with the expectation of recovery. Prior to this crisis, our Signet team delivered results ahead of expectations for the fourth quarter and Fiscal 2020. Moreover, we delivered our best overall holiday business performance in four years. As we entered Fiscal 2021, our momentum from holiday continued, including a strong Valentine’s Day selling period, validating that the strategic initiatives and investments we made in the first two years of our Path to Brilliance transformation are delivering results.

"What’s paramount now is that we are moving quickly and aggressively to strengthen Signet’s financial flexibility by reducing capital expenditures, driving transformational cost savings, and accelerating optimization of our real estate footprint. In addition, we have accessed $900 million from our revolving credit facility, suspended our common dividend, and elected to pay the May quarterly dividend on the preference shares in kind rather than in cash. In line with our Customer First and Omni-channel strategies, we are prioritizing choiceful digital investments, including advancing our e-commerce experience and enabling a more flexible fulfillment model. We believe the exceptional team, capabilities, and agility we have built through our Path to Brilliance transformation position us well to navigate these unprecedented business times and emerge with greater competitive advantages. I want to thank all of our team members for their continued commitment to each other, our customers, our shareholders and our company. Amidst all challenges, they are demonstrating remarkable compassion, courage, and creativity.”

Signet's total sales were $2.15 billion, down $1.4 million or down 0.1%, in the 13 weeks ended February 1, 2020 on a reported basis and down 0.3% on a constant currency basis. Total same store sales grew 2.3% year-over-year.
eCommerce sales were $299.9 million, up 15.1% year over year. eCommerce sales accounted for 13.9% of sales, up from 12.1% of sales in the prior year quarter. Brick and mortar same store sales grew 0.5%.
North America payment plan participation rate, including both credit and leasing sales, was 47.0% versus 50.1% in the prior year fourth quarter.
By operating segment:
North America
- North America same store sales grew 2.9%, with eCommerce sales growth of 15.0%, and brick and mortar same store sales growth of 1.1%. Same store sales grew in all mall based banners.
- Average transaction value ("ATV") decreased 0.5% and the number of transactions increased 3.4% driven by higher conversion in-store.
- Bridal and fashion category sales grew on a same store sales basis reflecting strengthened product newness including new collections Center of Me and Marilyn Monroe. The Watches and Other categories declined on a same store sales basis.
International
- International same store sales decreased 3.1%, with eCommerce sales growth of 15.8% offset by brick and mortar same store sales decline of 5.8%.
- Average transaction value grew 1.6% and the number of transactions decreased 4.6%.
- Sales declined across categories and continued to reflect a difficult operating environment in the UK.
Gross margin was $897.9 million, or 41.7% of sales, up 100 bps versus the prior year quarter. The gross margin rate reflected: 1) transformation cost savings, 2) the benefit of lapping an inventory write-down in the prior year fourth quarter, and 3) lower store occupancy costs inclusive of closed stores. In the current year quarter, a charge of $3.4 million was taken related to inventory that the Company previously discontinued as part of its transformation plan. Excluding this charge, non-GAAP gross margin was $901.3 million, or 41.9%, up 120 bps versus the prior year quarter.
SGA was $633.2 million, or 29.4% of sales, compared to $647.2 million, or 30.0% of sales in the prior year. Changes in SGA were driven by: 1) lower advertising spend with increased impressions, 2) lower store staff costs inclusive of closed stores, 3) the benefit of lapping a charge related to a regulatory matter in the prior year, and 4) higher incentive compensation.
GAAP operating income/(loss) was $223.2 million or 10.4% of sales, compared to $(83.5) million, or (3.9)% of sales in the prior year fourth quarter. The operating income change reflected: 1) the benefit of lapping prior year charges of $324.8 million, primarily related to goodwill, 2) transformation cost savings, 3) lower advertising, 4) a $33.2 million charge, net of expected insurance recoveries, related to the proposed settlement of previously disclosed litigation, and 5) higher incentive compensation.
Non-GAAP operating income was $270.3 million, or 12.6% of sales, compared to $241.3 million, or 11.2% of sales in prior year fourth quarter. Non-GAAP operating income excluded $13.9 million in restructuring charges related to the Path to Brilliance transformation plan and a $33.2 million charge, net of expected insurance recoveries, related to the proposed settlement of previously disclosed litigation.
The current quarter GAAP effective tax rate of 13.0% was primarily driven by pre-tax earnings mix by jurisdiction. The non-GAAP effective tax rate was 16.9% which was also primarily driven by pre-tax earnings mix by jurisdiction.
GAAP EPS was $3.14, including: 1) a $0.24 charge related to the Path to Brilliance transformation plan, 2) a $0.56 charge related to the resolution of previously disclosed litigation, and 3) tax impact of these items of $(0.28). Excluding these charges, EPS was $3.67 on a non-GAAP basis.
GAAP and Non-GAAP EPS in the quarter is based on non-GAAP net income before preferred dividends, with the preferred shares included in diluted share count due to the level of fourth quarter non-GAAP net income.
Fiscal 2020 Financial Highlights:
Signet's total sales were $6.1 billion, down $110.0 million or 1.8% in the year ended February 1, 2020 on a reported basis and down 1.5% on a constant currency basis. Total same store sales grew 0.6% year-over-year.
eCommerce sales were $750.4 million, up 10.0% year over year. eCommerce sales accounted for 12.2% of sales, up from 10.9% of sales in the prior year and more than doubling from the prior three year period. Brick and mortar same store sales declined 0.7%.
North America payment plan participation rate, including both credit and leasing sales, was 49.9% versus 51.7% in the prior year.
By operating segment:

- North America same store sales grew 1.1%, with eCommerce sales growth of 10.7% and brick and mortar same store sales decline of 0.2%.
- Average transaction value increased 0.5% and the number of transactions increased 1.1%.
- The percentage of sales from new merchandise increased during the year, including Center of Me and Love + Be LovedTM, somewhat offset by declines in legacy product. Bridal and fashion sales each increased on a same store sales basis while the Watches and Other categories declined on a same store sales basis.
International
- International same store sales decreased 4.9%, with eCommerce sales growth of 2.7% offset by brick and mortar same stores sales decline of 5.9%.
- Average transaction value was flat and the number of transactions decreased 5.1%.
- Sales declined across categories and continued to reflect a difficult operating environment in the UK.
Balance Sheet and Statement of Cash Flows:
Net cash provided by operating activities for Fiscal 2020 was $555.7 million. Free cash flow for Fiscal 2020 was $419.4 million, a $300.7 million improvement versus prior year adjusted free cash flow of $118.7 million which excluded the proceeds of the sale of non-prime receivables.
Cash and cash equivalents were $374.5 million as of February 1, 2020, compared to $195.4 million at prior-year end.
Net inventories were $2.3 billion, down 2.3%, compared to $2.4 billion at the end of the prior year due to more effective inventory management.
Long-term debt was $515.9 million, down $133.7 million, compared to $649.6 million in the prior year period, primarily due to lower borrowing as a result of strong free cash flow generation.
Liquidity:
As a result of business disruption created by COVID-19, including temporary broadscale store closures, the Company is aggressively reducing overall capital expenditures, prioritizing digital investments to enhance its new and modernized eCommerce platform and provide a frictionless shopping experience for customers. This will include flexible fulfillment which unlocks store level inventory and enables buy online pick up in store. Inventory management will continue to be a strategic focus for the company. Transformational cost reductions include using data and analytics to drive marketing efficiencies, significantly reducing discretionary spend, implementing temporary reduced work hours and furloughs across store and Support Center teams, and lowering cash compensation for executives and the Board of Directors.
As a prudent measure to increase Signet’s financial flexibility and bolster its cash position, the Company elected to access an additional $900 million from its senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility. At the time of drawdown on March 19, the Company had more than $1.2 billion in cash and an additional $292 million available on this asset-based revolving credit facility.
The asset-based revolving credit facility is subject to a fixed charge coverage ratio if availability under the facility falls below 10% of the borrowing base or $100 million whichever is higher. The Company’s most recently reported borrowing base under the asset-based revolving credit facility is approximately $1.4 billion. The Company’s senior unsecured notes due in 2024 are not subject to financial covenants.
Quarterly Dividend:
Signet’s Board of Directors has elected to temporarily suspend the dividend program on the common shares and has elected to pay the May quarterly dividend on its preference shares in kind.
Outlook:
As previously disclosed, the Company is not providing Fiscal 2021 financial guidance at this time.

The company believes that non-GAAP financial measures, when reviewed in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, can provide more information to assist investors in evaluating historical trends and current period performance. For these reasons, internal management reporting also includes non-GAAP measures. Items may be excluded from GAAP financial measures when the company believes this provides useful supplementary information to management and investors in assessing the operating performance of our business.
These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not superior to or as a substitute for the GAAP financial measures presented in this earnings release and the company’s 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.
In discussing financial results, the company refers to free cash flow that is not in accordance with GAAP and is defined as the net cash provided by operating activities, less purchases of property, plant, and equipment. Management considers adjusted free cash flow, defined as free cash flow excluding proceeds from the sale of the non-prime receivables, as 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. Adjusted free cash flow is an indicator used by management frequently in evaluating its overall liquidity and determining appropriate capital allocation strategies. Free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow do not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditure.
