Insights
TL;DR Sales and margins improved, but sizable impairments and restructuring persist; liquidity remains solid with no ABL borrowings.
Signet shows sequential operational recovery: positive same-store growth, stronger gross margin expansion from higher AUR and services, and return to operating profitability versus prior-year loss. E-commerce weakness, concentrated in James Allen, and recurring non-cash impairments temper the outlook. The balance sheet is conservative with $281.4 million cash and $1.1 billion undrawn ABL, enabling continued dividends and buybacks. Key investor focus should be execution of the Grow Brand Love strategy and stabilization of Digital brands.
TL;DR Restructuring is driving near-term charges but targets cost savings and portfolio optimization over the next 2–3 years.
Signet recorded restructuring and reorganization charges tied to store rationalization and a new transformation program. The company expects total related costs of $40–$50 million and completion largely by Fiscal 2026 except multi-year store optimization. While these actions generate near-term expense and some non-cash impairments, they are consistent with efforts to modernize stores, refocus brands, and improve margins if executed effectively.

SIGNET JEWELERS LIMITED
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Organization and principal accounting policies
Signet Jewelers Limited (“Signet” or the “Company”), a holding company incorporated in Bermuda, is the world’s largest retailer of diamond jewelry. The Company operates through its 100% owned subsidiaries with sales primarily in the United States (“US”), United Kingdom (“UK”) and Canada. Signet manages its business as three reportable segments: North America, International, and Other. The “Other” reportable segment consists of subsidiaries involved in the purchasing and conversion of rough diamonds to polished stones. See Note 4 for 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.
Basis of preparation
The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP” or “GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted from this report, as is permitted by such rules and regulations. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company has reclassified certain prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or for any other interim period. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in Signet’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2025 filed with the SEC on March 19, 2025.
Use of estimates
The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements, in conformity with US GAAP and SEC regulations for interim reporting, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the 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.
Fiscal year
The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest to January 31st. Fiscal 2026 and Fiscal 2025 refer to the 52-week periods ending January 31, 2026 and ended February 1, 2025, respectively. Within these condensed consolidated financial statements, the second quarter and year-to-date period of the relevant fiscal years 2026 and 2025 refer to the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 2, 2025 and August 3, 2024, respectively.
Foreign currency translation
The financial position and operating results of certain foreign operations, including certain subsidiaries operating in the UK as part of the International 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 condensed consolidated balance sheet dates, and revenues and expenses are translated at the monthly average rates of exchange during the reported periods. Resulting translation gains or losses are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”). Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included within other operating expense, net within the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
See Note 8 for additional information regarding the Company’s foreign currency translation.
2. New accounting pronouncements
The following section provides a description of new accounting pronouncements ("Accounting Standard Update" or "ASU") issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") that are applicable to the Company.

New accounting pronouncements issued but not yet adopted
Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”)
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 by nature and 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 annual reporting periods 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 selling, general and administrative expenses (“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.
The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, 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 financial statement disclosures.

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 historical patterns of actual claims costs, as well as estimates of future claims costs expected to be incurred. Management regularly reviews the trends in historical claims to assess whether changes are required to the revenue and cost recognition rates utilized. 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.

Table of Contents
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 condensed consolidated balance sheets.

4. Segment information
Signet’s chief executive officer (“CEO”) is the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“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. Segment operating income, which 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 Signet’s 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.

5. 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 condensed consolidated balance sheets.
On March 30, 2024, Signet’s Board of Directors (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 condensed 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, which was included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of August 3, 2024.
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 condensed consolidated balance sheet. Upon the final conversion, the Company has satisfied all requirements under the Certificate of Designation.
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 condensed consolidated balance sheet as of August 3, 2024 was $13.5 million. Upon final conversion, all direct and incremental expenses have been fully accreted.
Accretion of $0.2 million and $1.1 million was recorded to Preferred Shares in the condensed consolidated balance sheets during the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 3, 2024.

Share repurchases
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 10b5-1 trading plans, 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, or for general corporate purposes.
The Board authorized repurchases to be made under the 2017 Share Repurchase Program (the “2017 Program”). During Fiscal 2025, the Board authorized an increase in the remaining amount of shares authorized for repurchase under the 2017 Program by $200.0 million, bringing the total authorization to approximately $2.1 billion, with $723.0 million remaining as of February 1, 2025.

Signet was not subject to income tax in Bermuda prior to Fiscal 2026. On December 27, 2023, Bermuda enacted a 15 % corporate income tax that is effective for the Company beginning with Fiscal 2026.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “Act”) was enacted in the US. The Act includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework, and the restoration of tax treatment for certain business provisions. There was no material impact from the Act upon enactment during the second quarter of Fiscal 2026, nor does the Company expect any material impact on its Fiscal 2026 effective tax rate, consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
During the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2025, the Company’s effective tax rate was higher than the Bermuda corporate income tax rate, primarily as a result of the unfavorable impact of foreign rate differences (primarily in the US) and unfavorable discrete tax items recognized in the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2025, including non-deductible goodwill impairment charges of $53.6 million and the tax shortfall for share-based compensation which vested during the year of $0.7 million.
The Company’s effective tax rate for the same period during the prior year was lower than the US federal corporate income tax rate, primarily as a result of the favorable impact of foreign rate differences and benefits from global reinsurance arrangements, as well as the discrete tax items recognized in the 26 weeks ended August 3, 2024, including impairment charges of $166 million, of which $123 million relates to non-deductible goodwill, and the excess tax benefit for share-based compensation which vested during the year of $5.0 million.
As of August 2, 2025, there has been no material change in the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits, or the related accrued interest and penalties (where appropriate), in respect of uncertain tax positions identified and recorded as of February 1, 2025.

12. Goodwill and intangibles
The following summarizes the activity of the Company’s goodwill and intangible assets during the periods presented:
Fiscal 2025
During the 13 weeks ended May 4, 2024, the Company completed its quarterly triggering event assessment and determined that no triggering events had occurred in the first quarter of Fiscal 2025 requiring an interim impairment assessment for any reporting units with goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets.
During the 13 weeks ended August 3, 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 the Diamonds Direct and Blue Nile trade names, for which quantitative assessments were 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 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 condensed 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.
Additionally, the Company completed its quarterly triggering event assessment and determined that no triggering events had occurred in the second quarter of Fiscal 2025 requiring an interim impairment assessment for any reporting units with goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets.

Fiscal 2026
During the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2025, the Company completed its quarterly triggering event assessment and determined that no triggering events had occurred in the first quarter of Fiscal 2026 requiring an interim impairment assessment for any reporting units with goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets.
During the 13 weeks ended August 2, 2025, the Company completed its annual evaluation of its indefinite-lived intangible assets, including goodwill and trade names. The Company utilized the quantitative assessment for all reporting units and indefinite-lived trade names. Through the quantitative assessments, management reevaluated its long-term cash flow projections, primarily related to sales growth and potential effects of tariffs.
Based on the results of these quantitative impairment assessments, the Company determined that no impairment was required for the Sterling, Zales and Diamonds Direct reporting units, nor was any impairment required for the Zales Jewelry, Zales Outlet, Piercing Pagoda, Peoples or Blue Nile indefinite-lived trade names, as the estimated fair values exceeded the carrying values.
During the second quarter of Fiscal 2026, the Company recognized total pre-tax impairment charges in the condensed consolidated statement of operations within its North America reportable segment of $69.6 million for the Digital brands reporting unit and the James Allen and Diamonds Direct trade names. The impairment charges consisted of $53.6 million for Digital brands goodwill, $13 million for the James Allen trade name, and $3 million for the Diamonds Direct trade name. These impairment charges were driven primarily by the decline in long-term cash flow projections of this business, particularly in the James Allen brand due to continued challenges with assortment and its competitive position in the market. Management also determined an increase in discount rates was required to reflect the current interest rate environment at the valuation date, and to reflect additional forecast risk for the Digital brands due to the challenges at James Allen noted above, as well as additional uncertainty related to potential tariff impacts on the business.
Additionally, the Company completed its quarterly triggering event assessment and determined that no triggering events had occurred in the second quarter of Fiscal 2026 requiring an interim impairment assessment for any reporting units with goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets.
Management noted uncertainties exist related to the macroeconomic environment in the US and abroad, including tariffs, economic and tax policy, inflation and interest rates. These factors could unfavorably impact the cost of the Company’s products, 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 decline in the estimated fair values of the indefinite-lived intangible assets, including goodwill, which could result in future material impairment charges.
Goodwill

(1) The change in the indefinite-lived intangible asset balances during the periods presented was primarily due to the trade name impairment charges recorded during the second quarter of Fiscal 2026 as described above, as well as the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2025.
13. 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 is currently utilizing financial derivatives to mitigate commodity price and foreign currency risks. Signet does not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes.
The following types of derivative financial instruments are utilized by the Company to mitigate certain risk exposures related to changes in commodity prices and foreign exchange rates:
Commodity forward contracts (designated) — 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 Company’s Chief Operating and Financial Officer. 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 or net zero premium collar option contracts. These contracts are entered into to reduce Signet’s exposure to movements in the price of the underlying precious metal raw material. Signet began hedging its exposure to gold prices during the 13 weeks ended August 2, 2025. The total notional amount of these forward contracts as of August 2, 2025 was 16,000 ounces of gold. These contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges and will be settled over the next 11 months. The fair value of outstanding contracts as well as related activity were not material for the periods presented.
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 August 2, 2025 was $23.1 million (February 1, 2025 and August 3, 2024: $13.3 million and $18.4 million, respectively). These contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges and will be settled over the next 12 months (February 1, 2025 and August 3, 2024: 11 months and 12 months, respectively). The fair value of outstanding contracts as well as related activity were not material for the periods presented.
There were no discontinued cash flow hedges during the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2025 and August 3, 2024 as all forecasted transactions are expected to occur as originally planned. As of August 2, 2025, based on current valuations, the Company expects approximately $0.2 million of net pre-tax derivative losses to be reclassified out of AOCI into earnings within the next 12 months.
Forward foreign currency exchange contracts (undesignated) — Foreign currency contracts not designated as cash flow hedges are used to limit the impact of movements in foreign exchange rates on recognized foreign currency payables and to hedge currency flows through Signet’s bank accounts to mitigate Signet’s exposure to foreign currency exchange risk in its cash and borrowings. The total notional amount of these foreign currency contracts outstanding as of August 2, 2025 was $123.7 million (February 1, 2025 and August 3, 2024: $86.6 million and $62.0 million, respectively).
The Company recognizes activity related to these derivative instruments within other operating expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. There were losses of $0.8 million and gains of $4.4 million during the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 2, 2025, respectively, and losses were $0.3 million and $1.8 million during the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 3, 2024, respectively.
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 August 2, 2025, the Company believes that this credit risk did not materially change the fair value of the foreign currency contracts.

14. 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 used by the Company to determine fair value on an instrument-specific basis are detailed below:
| August 2, 2025 | February 1, 2025 | August 3, 2024 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| (in millions) | Carrying Value | Level 1 | Level 2 | Carrying Value | Level 1 | Level 2 | Carrying Value | Level 1 | Level 2 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Total liabilities | $ | ( | $ | $ | ( | $ | ( | $ | $ | ( | $ | ( | $ | $ | ( | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
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 corporate bonds and notes are based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, and therefore were classified as Level 2 measurements in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of derivative financial instruments has been 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 13 for additional information related to the Company’s derivatives.
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 12, during the second quarters of Fiscal 2026 and Fiscal 2025, the Company performed annual impairment assessments on a quantitative basis for certain reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets as of May 31, 2025 and June 1, 2024, respectively. 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 12 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.

15. Long-term debt
The Company had no
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.
The Company had no 1.1 billion as of August 2, 2025.
16. Warranty reserve
Certain brands within the North America reportable segment provide a product lifetime diamond guarantee as long as six-month inspections are performed and certified by an authorized store representative. Provided the customer has complied with the six-month inspection policy, the Company will replace, at no cost to the customer, any stone that chips, breaks or is lost from its original setting during normal wear. The Company estimates the warranty accrual based on the lag of actual claims experience and the costs of such claims, inclusive of labor and material. A similar product lifetime guarantee is also provided on color gemstones. The warranty reserve for diamond and gemstone guarantees, included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and other liabilities - non-current, is as follows:

18. Restructuring
Grow Brand Love Plan
During the first quarter of Fiscal 2026, the Company announced its new corporate strategy, Grow Brand Love. In connection with this strategic transformation, the Company has reorganized its brand structure and certain functional areas primarily within its North America reportable segment, and the Company is optimizing its store fleet by exiting underperforming stores and repositioning stores from declining venues (the “Plan”). As a result of the Plan, the Company expects to incur restructuring and related costs, primarily consisting of severance and other employee-related costs, contract termination costs, and store closure costs, including asset disposals and asset impairment charges.
During the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 2, 2025, the Company recorded charges related to the Plan of $13.0 million and $35.2 million, respectively, consisting of the following: $1.4 million and $19.6 million, respectively, for severance and other employee-related costs; $1.4 million and $2.2 million, respectively, for store closure and contract termination costs; and $10.2 million and $13.4 million, respectively, related to impairments for store assets and cloud computing arrangements. Employee-related, store closure, and contract termination costs are recorded within other operating expense, net and asset impairments are recorded within asset impairments, net within the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of August 2, 2025, the Company has $14.5 million of accrued restructuring charges related to the Plan, which are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Total estimated costs related to the Plan are expected to range from approximately $40 million to $50 million, including approximately $15 million to $20 million of estimated non-cash charges primarily for asset disposals and impairments. The Company expects the Plan will be substantially completed by the end of Fiscal 2026, except the store fleet optimization which is expected to be executed over the next two to three years.
Fiscal 2024 Reorganization Plan
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 “Fiscal 2024 Plan”). During the first quarter of Fiscal 2025, as a result of the continued strategic review of the UK business, the Company expanded the Fiscal 2024 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 Fiscal 2024 Plan were substantially completed in Fiscal 2025.
During the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 3, 2024, the Company recorded charges related to the Fiscal 2024 Plan of $1.4 million and $7.9 million, respectively, consisting of the following: $0.5 million and $2.7 million, respectively, for employee-related costs; $0.7 million and $3.1 million, respectively, for store closure costs; and $0.2 million and $2.1 million, respectively, related to asset impairments. Employee-related and store closure costs are recorded within other operating expense, net and asset impairments are recorded within asset impairments, net within the condensed consolidated statements of operations. There are no significant liabilities related to the Fiscal 2024 Plan remaining as of August 2, 2025.
Cumulative costs related to the Fiscal 2024 Plan were $25.5 million, consisting of the following: $11.8 million for employee-related costs; $6.7 million for store closure costs; and $7.0 million related to asset impairments.
19. 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. As of August 2, 2025, the Company had $8.2 million of confirmed invoices outstanding under the supplier finance program (February 1, 2025 and August 3, 2024: $12.9 million and $13.7 million, respectively). All activity related to the supplier finance program is included in accounts payable in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and within operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

OVERVIEW
Signet Jewelers Limited (“Signet” or the “Company”) is the world’s largest retailer of diamond jewelry and is incorporated in Bermuda. The Company operated 2,623 retail locations as of August 2, 2025, which when combined with the Company’s digital capabilities under its Connected Commerce strategy, provides customers the opportunity to use both online and in-store experiences as part of their shopping journey. Signet manages its business by geography, a description of which follows:

Certain Company activities are managed in the “Other” reportable segment for financial reporting purposes, primarily the Company’s diamond sourcing operation and its diamond polishing factory in Botswana. See Note 4 of Item 1 for additional information regarding the Company’s reportable segments and see Item 1 of Signet’s Fiscal 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further background and description of the Company’s business.
Grow Brand Love strategy
In Fiscal 2026, the Company launched its Grow Brand Love strategy. This transformative strategy focuses on driving sustainable 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 a banners to brand mindset; growing our core business and expanding into adjacent categories; and organizational realignment to accelerate strategy execution. The Grow Brand Love strategy is further described in the Purpose and Strategy section within Item 1 of Signet’s Fiscal 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 19, 2025.
Overall performance - Second quarter Fiscal 2026
Signet’s total sales increased by 3.0% during the second quarter of Fiscal 2026 compared to the same period in Fiscal 2025. The Company saw positive same stores sales growth of 2.0% during the quarter, driven by growth in fashion and services. Merchandise average unit retail (“AUR”) increased in both fashion and bridal, which offset an overall decline in units period over period. The unit decline primarily reflects decreases in Banter, which was more impacted by higher gold prices, as well as a strategic reduction of low-priced promotional items. The overall year over year sales improvement was impacted by an approximate 120 basis point drag from underperformance in the James Allen brand in the second quarter. During the second quarter of Fiscal 2026, AUR was up 9.8% in the North America reportable segment and 5.6% in the International reportable segment compared to the second quarter of Fiscal 2025. AUR in North America was bolstered by a focus on our assortment strategy, particularly in lab-grown diamond (“LGD”) fashion, as well as the impact of higher gold prices, as noted above. Same store sales in the International reportable segment were up 0.8% in the second quarter.

Fiscal 2026 Outlook
The Company anticipates same store sales in the range of down 0.75% to up 1.75% for Fiscal 2026 providing for variability in a measured consumer spending environment. The Company believes it is well positioned as it moves toward the Holiday Season, by having the right merchandise assortment at the right price points, while leveraging our marketing and brand experience to capitalize on consumer demand. The Company believes that it can build on its early progress under our Grow Brand Love strategy through distinct merchandise in both fashion and bridal, enhanced marketing, and unique customer experiences. In addition, the enhanced focus on our three largest brands - Kay, Zales and Jared - creates the most meaningful impact on growth, most immediately through assortment architecture, promotion management, and maximizing the investments in our e-commerce channel.
The Company is closely monitoring ongoing activities related to changes to US economic policy, including potential impacts from both taxes and tariffs. The second quarter saw significant activity on new tariff announcements on countries such as India and Italy, where the Company purchases significant amounts of merchandise and diamonds. Signet looks to navigate the dynamic tariff environment by working with vendors to land inventory at the best time to minimize cost and maximize availability, as well as through discussions with suppliers to maximize domestic production, optimize country of origin, by value engineering merchandise at the right price points, and utilizing bonded warehouses. The Company will also evaluate our pricing and promotional strategies in the coming months as we navigate the uncertain tariff environment.
The Company also continues to evaluate the impacts of other macroeconomic factors on its business, such as inflation and the Russia-Ukraine and Middle East conflicts. As previously discussed, 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 on lab-grown diamonds, continued inflationary impacts to the Company (including, but not limited to, materials, labor, fulfillment and advertising costs), 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, and organized retail crime and its impact to mall traffic. See “Forward-Looking Statements” above as well as the “Risk Factors” section within Item 1A of Signet’s Fiscal 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Second quarter sales
Signet's total sales increased 3.0% year over year to $1.54 billion in the 13 weeks ended August 2, 2025. Same store sales increased 2.0%, compared to a decrease of 3.4% in the prior year quarter. These increases were primarily from filling merchandise assortment gaps at key price points in fashion, as well as growth in services. The improved assortment across the bridal and fashion categories led to an increase in AUR of approximately 9% compared to the prior year second quarter. These increases were impacted by an approximate 120 basis point drag on same store sales from underperformance in the James Allen brand in the second quarter.
E-commerce sales in the second quarter of Fiscal 2026 were $317.6 million, down $14.7 million or 4.4%, compared to $332.3 million in the prior year second quarter. This decrease was primarily due to underperformance in the James Allen brand noted above. E-commerce sales accounted for 20.7% of second quarter sales, a decrease compared to 22.3% of total sales in the prior year second quarter. Brick and mortar same store sales increased 3.8% from the prior year second quarter.

Table of Contents
North America sales
The North America reportable segment’s total sales were $1.43 billion compared to $1.40 billion in the prior year quarter, or an increase of 2.1%. This increase in overall sales and same store sales was primarily from filling merchandise assortment gaps at key price points in fashion, which drove strong AUR growth and offset a decrease in units, as well as continued growth in services compared to the prior year quarter. These increases were impacted by the underperformance of the James Allen brand noted above. The number of units sold decreased 7.6% year over year, primarily in Banter. Same store sales increased 2.0% compared to a decrease of 3.7% in the prior year quarter.
International sales
The International reportable segment’s total sales increased 6.1%, or 0.4% at constant exchange rates, to $91.8 million compared to $86.5 million in the prior year quarter. The number of units sold decreased 4.6% and AUR increased 5.6% year over year. Same store sales increased 0.8% compared to an increase of 1.7% in the prior year quarter. The increase in total sales at constant exchange rates was slightly lower than the increase in same store sales due to store closures.
Year to date sales
Signet’s total sales increased 2.5% to $3.08 billion compared to $3.00 billion in the prior year. Signet’s same store sales increased 2.2%, compared to a decrease of 6.2% in the prior year. As previously described above, these increases were primarily driven by filling merchandise assortment gaps at key price points both in fashion and in bridal, which led to higher AUR compared to the prior year. Services also continued to grow year over year, primarily due to higher attachment rates. These increases were impacted by the continued drag on same store sales from the James Allen brand as described above.
E-commerce sales year to date were $656.3 million, down $13.9 million or 2.1%, compared to $670.2 million in the prior year. E-commerce sales accounted for 21.3% of year to date sales, down slightly from 22.3% of total sales in the prior year. The decrease in total e-commerce sales was driven by underperformance in the James Allen brand noted above. Brick and mortar same store sales increased 3.3% from the prior period.

North America sales
The North America reportable segment’s total sales were $2.88 billion compared to $2.82 billion in the prior year, up 2.1%. This increase was primarily driven by the improvements previously noted, specifically within the three largest brands and increased fashion LGD penetration, partially offset by the underperformance of the James Allen brand. Same store sales increased 2.2% compared to a decrease of 6.6% in the prior year. North America’s AUR increased 9.1% compared to the prior year, while the number of units decreased 7.0%.
International sales
The International reportable segment’s total sales increased 5.0% to $171.9 million compared to $163.7 million in the prior year. Total sales at constant exchange rates increased 0.9%. The number of units sold decreased 2.9% and AUR increased 4.1% over prior year.
Gross margin
In the second quarter of Fiscal 2026, gross margin was $591.9 million or 38.6% of sales compared to $566.3 million or 38.0% of sales in the prior year quarter. For the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2025, gross margin was $1.2 billion or 38.7% of sales compared to $1.1 billion or 37.9% of sales in the prior year comparable period. Gross margin increased in total dollars and as a percentage of sales for both the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 2, 2025 reflecting merchandise margin expansion driven by higher AUR in fashion and bridal, as discussed above, as well as growth in services, refined promotional and assortment strategies, and leveraging of fixed costs such as occupancy.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”)
In the second quarter of Fiscal 2026, SG&A was $505.3 million or 32.9% of sales compared to $498.4 million or 33.4% of sales in the prior year quarter. For the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2025, SG&A was $1.0 billion or 33.5% of sales compared to $1.0 billion or 33.8% of sales in the prior year comparable period. The decrease in SG&A as a percentage of sales for both the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 2, 2025 was primarily driven by reorganization savings and disciplined expense management, partially offset by incentive compensation reset and change management costs for the reorganization.

For the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 2, 2025, the Company recorded non-cash, pre-tax impairment charges of $80.2 million and $83.4 million, respectively, compared to charges of $166.2 million and $168.6 million in the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 3, 2024, respectively. In the first half of Fiscal 2026, $69.6 million of the charges related to impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived trade names primarily related to the Digital brands, and $13.8 million related to the impairment of long-lived assets and cloud computing arrangements. In the first half of Fiscal 2025, $166.0 million of the charges related to impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived trade names for Diamonds Direct and the Digital brands, and $2.6 million related to the impairment of long-lived assets. See Note 12 and Note 18 for additional information.
Other operating expense, net
In the second quarter of Fiscal 2026, other operating expense was $3.6 million, compared to $2.6 million in the prior year quarter. In the first half of Fiscal 2026, other operating expense was $25.1 million, compared to $7.4 million in the prior year comparable period. The 13 and 26 weeks ended August 2, 2025 primarily included restructuring charges of $2.8 million and $21.8 million, respectively, related to the actions under the Company’s new corporate strategy, Grow Brand Love. The 13 and 26 weeks ended August 3, 2024 primarily included restructuring charges of $1.2 million and $5.8 million. See Note 17 and Note 18 for additional information.
Operating income (loss)
For the second quarter of Fiscal 2026, operating income was $2.8 million, or 0.2% of sales, compared to an operating loss of $100.9 million or (6.8)% of sales in the prior year quarter. In the first half of Fiscal 2026, operating income was $50.9 million or 1.7% of sales compared to operating loss of $51.1 million or (1.7)% of sales in the prior year comparable period. The increase in operating income for both the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 2, 2025 was primarily driven by stronger sales performance and gross margins as described above, as well as lower goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment charges taken in the current year, partially offset by higher restructuring costs.
North America operating income
In the second quarter, operating income in the North America reportable segment was $23.0 million, or 1.6% of segment sales, and includes $80.2 million of asset impairment charges primarily related to goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets and $1.0 million of restructuring charges. In the prior year quarter, operating loss in the North America reportable segment was $77.2 million, or (5.5)% of segment sales, and included $166.2 million of asset impairment charges primarily related to goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets and $0.2 million of restructuring charges.
In the first half of Fiscal 2026, operating income in the North America reportable segment was $106.0 million or 3.7% of segment sales, and includes $83.4 million of asset impairment charges primarily related to goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets and $11.9 million of restructuring charges. In the first half of Fiscal 2025, operating income in the North America reportable segment was $6.0 million, or 0.2% of segment sales, and included $168.2 million of asset impairment charges primarily related to goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets and $0.8 million of restructuring charges.
International operating income
In the second quarter, operating loss in the International reportable segment was $2.2 million, or (2.4)% of segment sales. In the prior year quarter, operating loss in the International reportable segment was $4.2 million, or (4.9)% of segment sales, and included $1.0 million of restructuring charges and $1.2 million of net losses from the previously announced divestiture of the UK prestige watch business.
In the first half of Fiscal 2026, operating loss in the International reportable segment was $9.2 million, or (5.4)% of segment sales. In the first half of Fiscal 2025, operating loss in the International reportable segment was $17.2 million, or (10.5)% of segment sales, and included $5.0 million of restructuring charges and $2.5 million of net losses from the previously announced divestiture of the UK prestige watch business.
Corporate and unallocated expenses
In the second quarter, corporate and unallocated expenses were $17.6 million, compared to $16.9 million in the prior year quarter. In the first half of Fiscal 2026, corporate and unallocated expenses were $41.6 million, compared to $34.2 million in the first half of Fiscal 2025. The Company incurred $1.7 million and $9.8 million of restructuring charges in the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 2, 2025, respectively.

Interest (expense) income, net
For the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 2, 2025, net interest expense was $0.1 million and net interest income was $0.7 million, respectively, compared to net interest income of $2.4 million and $11.0 million in the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 3, 2024, respectively. The decreases in the current year quarter and year to date period are the result of lower cash balances earning interest as compared with the prior year comparable periods, primarily due to cash used over the past year related to the Preferred Shares retirement, repayment of the Senior Notes and common share repurchases.
Income taxes
In the second quarter of Fiscal 2026, income tax expense was $14.2 million, with an effective tax rate (“ETR”) of 278.4%, compared to income tax expense of $1.6 million, with an ETR of (1.7)%, in the prior year comparable period. Signet was not subject to income tax in Bermuda prior to Fiscal 2026. On December 27, 2023, Bermuda enacted a 15% corporate income tax that is effective for the Company beginning with Fiscal 2026.
The ETR for the second quarter of Fiscal 2026 was higher than the Bermuda income tax rate, primarily as a result of the unfavorable impact of foreign rate differences (primarily in the US) and unfavorable discrete tax items recognized, including non-deductible goodwill impairment charges of $53.6 million. The ETR for the second quarter of Fiscal 2025 was primarily impacted by the discrete impairment charges of $166 million, of which $123 million relates to non-deductible goodwill.
In the first half of Fiscal 2026, income tax expense was $26.3 million, with an ETR of 51.9%, compared to income tax expense of $8.1 million, with an ETR of (21.1)% in the prior year comparable period. The ETR for the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2025 was higher than the Bermuda income tax rate, primarily as a result of the unfavorable impact of foreign rate differences (primarily in the US) and unfavorable discrete tax items recognized, including non-deductible goodwill impairment charges of $53.6 million and the tax shortfall for share-based compensation which vested during the year of $0.7 million. The year to date ETR in the prior year comparable period was lower than the US federal income tax rate, primarily due to the favorable impact of foreign rate differences and benefits from global reinsurance arrangements, as well as discrete tax impacts during Fiscal 2025, including the non-deductible impairment charges described above and the excess tax benefit for share-based compensation which vested during the year of $5.0 million.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “Act”) was enacted in the US. The Act includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework, and the restoration of tax treatment for certain business provisions. There was no material impact from the Act upon enactment during the second quarter of Fiscal 2026, nor does the Company expect any material impact on its Fiscal 2026 effective tax rate, consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

NON-GAAP MEASURES
The discussion and analysis of Signet’s results of operations, financial condition and liquidity contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are based upon the condensed consolidated financial statements of Signet which are prepared in accordance with GAAP and should be read in conjunction with Signet’s condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in Item 1. 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 condensed 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.
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.

2. Free cash flow
Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure defined as the net cash provided by (used in) 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.

3. Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and adjusted EBITDA
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. Reviewed in conjunction with net income and operating income, management believes that EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA 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 disclosed periodically in investor materials and other Company filings with the SEC, including annually in the Company’s Form 10-K.

4. 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.

5. 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.

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 August 2, 2025, the Company had $281.4 million of cash and cash equivalents and no outstanding borrowings on the ABL. The available borrowing capacity on the ABL was $1.1 billion as of August 2, 2025.
34
Table of Contents
The Company maintains a disciplined approach to capital allocation, utilizing the following priorities: 1) Invest in organic growth; 2) maintain conservative balance sheet, including an adjusted leverage ratio (a non-GAAP measure as defined in Item 7 of the Signet’s Fiscal 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K) of at or below our stated goal; and 3) return capital to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends.
Invest in organic growth
The strategic imperatives of the Company’s Grow Brand Love transformation strategy have been designed to accelerate growth by building on a strong core foundation to create shareholder value. The Company will focus on increasing market share in core areas such as Bridal, while expanding into categories like self-purchase and gifting. In order to achieve these goals, the Company is in the process of restructuring to streamline operations, increase efficiencies, improve accountability and reduce costs. Streamlining the organization is expected to enable our new go-to-market strategies and contribute towards our efforts to strengthen our brand portfolio. We are also optimizing our real estate footprint to support the positioning of our brands and modernizing our stores through capital improvements. These real estate initiatives will include the closure of underperforming stores, repositioning stores out of declining venues, renovation of stores and an increased focus on transference from closed locations to capitalize on brand equity across the portfolio. The Company invested $153.0 million for capital expenditures in Fiscal 2025 and has planned for capital expenditures of up to $160 million in Fiscal 2026, reflecting primarily investments in new stores and renovations as described above, as well as additional digital and technology advancements.
Maintain conservative balance sheet
The Company has no outstanding debt after fully repaying the Senior Notes at maturity in the second quarter of Fiscal 2025 using cash on hand. In addition, in Fiscal 2025, the Company completed the extension of the ABL to August 2029 at substantially the same terms, as further described in Note 15. In connection with this extension, the ABL aggregate commitment was 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 of Fiscal 2025, 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 5 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 (see non-GAAP measures as defined in Item 7 of the Signet’s Fiscal 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K). During Fiscal 2025, the Company 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. The Company continues to be confident in its ability to generate free cash flow while maintaining this leverage ratio target.
Returning capital 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 Program. In March 2024, the Board approved a further $200 million increase to the multi-year authorization under the 2017 Program. The Company has repurchased $149.7 million of common shares to date in Fiscal 2026, with $573.4 million of shares authorized for repurchase remaining as of August 2, 2025. See Note 6 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. The Company has outsourced its entire credit card portfolio, and it receives cash
35
Table of Contents
from its outsourced financing partners (net of applicable fees) generally within two to five 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 used in operating activities was $89.0 million during the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2025 compared to $114.4 million in the prior year comparable period. The change in operating cash flows compared to prior year was primarily driven by higher gross profit in the current year period. The significant movements in operating cash flows are further described below:
•Net income was $24.4 million compared to net loss of $46.4 million in the prior year period, an increase of $70.8 million. This increase was primarily the result of higher gross profit in the current year period and non-cash asset impairment charges of $168.6 million recorded in the prior year period, partially offset by non-cash asset impairment charges of $83.4 million and restructuring charges of $21.8 million recorded in Fiscal 2026.
•The change in current income taxes was a use of $21.9 million in the current period compared to a use of $52.0 million in the prior year. The current year use was primarily the result of net income tax payments of $46.2 million, compared to net income tax payments of $74.3 million in the prior year period.
•Cash used by inventory was $35.9 million, compared to a use of $41.4 million in the prior year, reflecting seasonal replenishment of inventories following the fourth quarter of both fiscal years.
•Cash used by accounts payable was $248.5 million compared to a use of $193.3 million in the prior year period. Accounts payable is historically a use of cash in the first quarter, as the Company pays down invoices due from Holiday Season merchandise purchases. The increased use compared to the prior year is due to timing and mix of payables, as the first half of the prior year benefited from the impacts of the 53rd week in Fiscal 2024.
•Cash provided by accrued expenses and other liabilities was $10.1 million, compared to a use of $36.1 million in the prior year period. The difference compared to the prior year comparable period is primarily due to timing of advertising payments.
Investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2025 was $60.7 million compared to a use of $57.2 million in the prior year period. Cash used in Fiscal 2026 was related to capital expenditures of $60.6 million. Capital expenditures are associated with new stores, remodels of existing stores, and capital investments in digital and IT. Signet has planned Fiscal 2026 capital expenditures of up to $160 million. In Fiscal 2025, net cash used in investing activities was primarily related to capital expenditures of $51.3 million.

Net cash used in financing activities for the 26 weeks ended August 3, 2024 was $801.9 million, consisting of the repurchase of the Preferred Shares of $541.0 million, the repayment of the Senior Notes of $147.8 million, the repurchase of $47.2 million of common shares, preferred and common share dividends paid of $37.5 million and payments for withholding taxes related to the settlement of the Company’s share-based compensation awards of $28.4 million.
Movement in cash and indebtedness
Cash and cash equivalents at August 2, 2025 were $281.4 million compared to $403.1 million as of August 3, 2024. The decrease year over year was primarily driven by the retirement of the Preferred Shares in Fiscal 2025 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.
As further described in Note 15, 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 no borrowings under the ABL during the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2025 or August 3, 2024. Available borrowing capacity under the ABL was $1.1 billion as of August 2, 2025.
The Company had no outstanding debt as of August 2, 2025 or August 3, 2024. As further described in Note 15, the Company fully repaid the Senior Notes upon maturity in the second quarter of Fiscal 2025 using cash on hand.
As of August 2, 2025, February 1, 2025 and August 3, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.
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.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements, in conformity with US GAAP and SEC regulations for interim reporting, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its accounting policies, estimates and judgments. 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. Management bases the estimates and judgments on historical experience and various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
While there have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in Signet’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2025 filed with the SEC on March 19, 2025, the Company continues to monitor the risk of impairment related to all of its reporting units and indefinite-lived trade names. As part of our annual assessment during the second quarter of Fiscal 2026, the Company performed quantitative impairment assessments for all reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets. The estimated fair values of the Sterling, Zale US and Diamonds Direct reporting units, as well as the Zale Jewelry, Zale Outlet, Piercing Pagoda, Blue Nile and Peoples Jewellers trade names, exceeded their carrying values as of the valuation date. The fair values for all these assets substantially exceeded their carrying values, with the exception of the Diamonds Direct reporting unit and the Piercing Pagoda and Blue Nile trade names, which exceeded their carrying values by approximately 17%, 10% and 16%, respectively. The carrying values of the Diamonds Direct goodwill and the Piercing Pagoda and Blue Nile trade names were $251.2 million, $33.8 million and $19 million, respectively, as of August 2, 2025.
During the second quarter of Fiscal 2026, the carrying values of the Digital brands goodwill and the James Allen and Diamonds Direct trade names were reduced to their estimated fair values of $0, $2 million and $109 million, respectively, which resulted in the recognition of impairment charges of approximately $54 million, $13 million and $3 million, respectively. The impairment charges in the Digital brands reporting unit and related James Allen trade name were driven primarily by the decline in long-term cash flow projections of this business, particularly in the James Allen brand due to continued challenges with assortment and its competitive

position in the market. Management also determined an increase in discount rates was required to reflect the current interest rate environment at the valuation date, and to reflect additional forecast risk for the Digital brands due to the challenges at James Allen noted above, as well as additional uncertainty related to potential tariff impacts on the business.
Management noted uncertainties exist related to the macroeconomic environment in the US and abroad, including tariffs, economic and tax policy, inflation and interest rates. These factors could unfavorably impact merchandise costs, 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. For example, an increase in the discount rate of 0.5% to the aforementioned impaired trade names, assuming no other changes to assumptions, would have resulted in additional impairment charges of approximately $4 million.
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. Future economic conditions or operating performance, such as declines in sales or increases in discount rates, could differ from those projected by management in its most recent impairment tests for indefinite-lived intangible assets, including goodwill. This could impact our estimates of fair values and may result in future material impairment charges. See Note 12 of Item 1 for additional information.
ITEM 3. 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 enters into derivative transactions to hedge a 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.
Signet’s market risk profile as of August 2, 2025 has not materially changed since February 1, 2025. The market risk profile as of February 1, 2025 is disclosed in Signet’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 19, 2025.
ITEM 4. 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.
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 August 2, 2025.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There were no changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the second quarter of Fiscal 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Information regarding legal proceedings is incorporated by reference from Note 20 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements set forth in Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The Company is supplementing the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2025 with the following modified risk factor, which should be read in conjunction with the other risk factors presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2025 that was filed with the SEC on March 19, 2025.
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, cash flows or financial condition.
The Company sources almost all of its retail merchandise, which include jewelry, watches, and cut and polished diamonds, from suppliers that manufacture outside of the US. Historically, approximately half of the finished merchandise and loose diamonds that Signet has purchased have been imported from India. Other key sourcing countries include Thailand, Italy, China, and Japan. In addition, many of the supplies, materials and fixtures used in our stores and operations are imported from foreign countries including but not limited to China, Mexico, and Canada.
Government officials in the US, Canada and the UK have periodically imposed tariffs on goods and materials that the Company imports. Since February 1, 2025, the US administration has announced a series of new tariffs and trade penalties affecting imports from a broad range of countries, including key sourcing countries for the Company noted above. On August 6, 2025, an executive order also imposed an additional 25% tariff on goods from India, effective August 27, 2025, in response to India’s continued imports of Russian oil.
The imposition of additional or increased tariffs on jewelry or other supplies and materials that the Company imports from India or other countries, or the Company’s inability to successfully manage inventory from such countries, could require the Company to further increase prices to its customers or, if unable to do so, result in reduced sales or lower gross margins.
Moreover, the evolving global tariff environment has caused, and is likely to continue to cause, significant uncertainty and instability in international trade and financial markets. The continuation of elevated tariffs, as well as retaliatory measures by foreign governments, have and may continue to adversely affect consumer sentiment and inflationary pressures, which has and may continue to reduce demand for our products. Also, disruptions and volatility in the financial markets may lead to adverse changes in the availability, terms, and cost of capital. These conditions, as well as the Company’s inability to mitigate the risks related to tariffs, could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
