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 all non-reportable segments, including subsidiaries involved in the purchasing and conversion of rough diamonds to polished stones and unallocated corporate administrative functions. See Note 4 for additional discussion of the Company’s segments.

Signet’s sales are seasonal, with the fourth quarter accounting for approximately 35-40% of annual sales, with December being by far the highest volume month of the year. The “Holiday Season” consists of results for the months of November and December. As a result of our strategic credit outsourcing and transformation initiatives, we anticipate our operating profit will be almost entirely generated in the fourth quarter.

The Company has evaluated and determined that there are no additional events and transactions subsequent to November 2, 2019 for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the condensed consolidated interim financial statements were issued.

Basis of preparation

The condensed consolidated financial statements of Signet are prepared, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted from this report, as is permitted by such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in Signet’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2019 filed with the SEC on April 3, 2019. Signet has reclassified certain prior year amounts in its consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.

Use of estimates

The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements, in conformity with US GAAP and SEC regulations for interim reporting, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and assumptions are primarily made in relation to the valuation of accounts receivables, inventories, deferred revenue, derivatives, employee benefits, income taxes, contingencies, asset impairments, leases, indefinite-lived intangible assets, depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets, as well as accounting for business combinations.

Fiscal year

The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest to January 31^st. Fiscal 2020 and Fiscal 2019 refer to the 52 week periods ending February 1, 2020 and February 2, 2019, respectively. Within these condensed consolidated financial statements, the third quarter of the relevant fiscal years 2020 and 2019 refer to the 13 weeks ended November 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018, respectively.

Foreign currency translation

The financial position and operating results of certain foreign operations, including certain subsidiaries operating in the UK as part of the International segment and Canada as part of the North America segment, are consolidated using the local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange on the balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses are translated at the monthly average rates of exchange during the period. Resulting translation gains or losses are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”). Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in other operating income, net within the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

See Note 9 for additional information regarding the Company’s foreign currency translation.

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 recently adopted

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” The new guidance primarily impacts lessee accounting by requiring the recognition of a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability on the balance sheet for long-term lease agreements. The lease liability will be equal to the present value of all reasonably certain remaining lease payments. The right-of-use asset will be based on the liability, subject to adjustment for initial direct costs. Lease agreements that are 12 months or less are permitted to be excluded from the balance sheet. In general, leases will be amortized on a straight-line basis with the exception of finance lease agreements. Signet adopted ASU 2016-02 and related updates effective February 3, 2019 using the additional transition method provided for in ASU No. 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements,” which permitted the Company as of the effective date of ASU 2016-02 to recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The impact of this approach was deemed immaterial upon adoption of ASU 2016-02.

The Company has elected the practical expedient to account for the lease and non-lease maintenance components as a single lease component. Therefore, for those leases, the lease payments used to measure the lease liability include all of the fixed consideration in the contract. Additionally, the Company utilized the practical expedient relief package, as well as the short-term leases and portfolio approach practical expedients. The effects of the changes made to the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of February 3, 2019 for the adoption of ASC 842 were as follows:



(in millions)	February 2, 2019		Adjustments due to ASC 842			February 3, 2019
Current assets:
Other current assets	$	244.0	$	(8.8	)	$	235.2
Non-current assets:
Operating lease right-of-use assets	—		1,927.2			1,927.2
Current liabilities:
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities	502.8		(32.9		)	469.9
Operating lease liabilities	—		376.5			376.5
Non-current liabilities:
Operating lease liabilities	—		1,676.9			1,676.9
Other liabilities	224.1		(102.1		)	122.0

See additional disclosure requirements related to leases within Note 13.

In addition to the pronouncement above, the following ASU was adopted as of February 3, 2019. The impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements is described within the table below.



Standard		Description
ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, issued August 2017.		Expands the types of risk management strategies eligible for hedge accounting, refines the documentation and effectiveness assessment requirements and modifies the presentation and disclosure requirements for hedge accounting activities. The adoption of ASU 2017-12 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

New accounting pronouncements issued not yet adopted

The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements of the following ASUs:



Standard		Description
ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software: Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract, issued July 2018.		Aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs in cloud computing arrangements with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted.
ASU No. 2018-14, Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Topic 715-20): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans, issued August 2018.		Modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other post-retirement plans and clarifies the disclosure requirements regarding projected benefit obligations and accumulated benefit obligations. The ASU is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted.
ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, issued August 2018.		Modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820 and eliminates ‘at a minimum’ from the phrase ‘an entity shall disclose at a minimum’ to promote the appropriate exercise of discretion by entities when considering fair value disclosures and to clarify that materiality is an appropriate consideration. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted.
ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, issued June 2016.		Requires entities to measure and recognize expected credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost basis. The estimate of expected credit losses should consider historical information, current information, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of expected losses over the remaining contractual life that affect collectability. The ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted.

The Company recognizes revenues when control of the promised goods and services are transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those goods. Transfer of control generally occurs at the time merchandise is taken from a store, or upon receipt of the merchandise by a customer for an e-commerce shipment. The Company excludes all taxes assessed by government authorities and collected from a customer from its reported sales. The Company’s revenue streams and their respective accounting treatments are further discussed below.

Table of Contents

Merchandise sales and repairs

Store sales are recognized when the customer receives and pays for the merchandise at the store with cash, in-house customer finance, private label credit card programs, a third-party credit card or a lease purchase option. For online sales shipped to customers, sales are recognized at the estimated time the customer has received the merchandise. Amounts related to shipping and handling that are billed to customers are reflected in sales and the related costs are reflected in cost of sales. Revenues on the sale of merchandise are reported net of anticipated returns and sales tax collected. Returns are estimated based on previous return rates experienced. Any deposits received from a customer for merchandise are deferred and recognized as revenue when the customer receives the merchandise. Revenues derived from providing replacement merchandise on behalf of insurance organizations are recognized upon receipt of the merchandise by the customer. Revenues on repair of merchandise are recognized when the service is complete and the customer collects the merchandise at the store.

Extended service plans and lifetime warranty agreements (“ESP”)

The Company recognizes revenue related to ESP sales in proportion to when the expected costs will be incurred. The deferral period for ESP sales is determined from patterns of claims costs, including estimates of future claims costs expected to be incurred. Management reviews the trends in claims to assess whether changes are required to the revenue and cost recognition rates utilized. A significant change in estimates related to the time period or pattern in which warranty-related costs are expected to be incurred could materially impact revenues. All direct costs associated with the sale of these plans 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. Unamortized deferred selling costs as of November 2, 2019, February 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018 were as follows:



(in millions)	November 2, 2019		February 2, 2019		November 3, 2018
Deferred ESP selling costs
Other current assets	$	23.5	$	23.8	$	30.0
Other assets	76.1		75.4		87.1
Total deferred ESP selling costs	$	99.6	$	99.2	$	117.1

The North America segment sells ESP, subject to certain conditions, to perform repair work over the life of the product. Revenue from the sale of the lifetime ESP is recognized consistent with the estimated pattern of claim costs expected to be incurred by the Company in connection with performing under the ESP obligations. Lifetime ESP revenue is deferred and recognized over a maximum of 17 years of the sale of the warranty contract. Although claims experience varies between our national banners, thereby resulting in different recognition rates, approximately 55% of revenue is recognized within the first two years on a weighted average basis.

The North America segment sells a Jewelry Replacement Plan (“JRP”). The JRP is designed to protect customers from damage or defects of purchased merchandise for a period of three years. If the purchased merchandise is defective or becomes damaged under normal use in that time period, the item will be replaced. JRP revenue is deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the period of expected claims costs.

Signet also sells warranty agreements in the capacity of an agent on behalf of a third-party. The commission that Signet receives from the third-party is recognized at the time of sale less an estimate of cancellations based on historical experience.

Sale vouchers

Certain promotional offers award sale vouchers to customers who make purchases above a certain value, which grant a fixed discount on a future purchase within a stated time frame. The Company accounts for such vouchers by allocating the fair value of the voucher between the initial purchase and the future purchase using the relative-selling-price method. Sale vouchers are not sold on a stand-alone basis. The fair value of the voucher is determined based on the average sales transactions in which the vouchers were issued, when the vouchers are expected to be redeemed and the estimated voucher redemption rate. The fair value allocated to the future purchase is recorded as deferred revenue.

Consignment inventory sales

Sales of consignment inventory are accounted for on a gross sales basis as the Company is the primary obligor providing independent advice, guidance and after-sales service to customers. The products sold from consignment inventory are indistinguishable from other products that are sold to customers and are sold on the same terms. Supplier products are selected at the discretion of the Company. The Company is responsible for determining the selling price, physical security of the products and collections of accounts receivable.

4. Segment information

Financial information for each of Signet’s reportable segments is presented in the tables below. Signet’s chief operating decision maker utilizes sales and operating income, after the elimination of any inter-segment transactions, to determine resource allocations and performance assessment measures. Signet manages its business as three reportable segments: North America, International, and Other. Signet’s sales are derived from the retailing of jewelry, watches, other products and services as generated through the management of its reportable segments.

The North America reportable segment operates across the US and Canada. Its US stores operate nationally in malls and off-mall locations principally as Kay (Kay Jewelers and Kay Jewelers Outlet), Zales (Zales Jewelers and Zales Outlet), Jared (Jared The Galleria Of Jewelry and Jared Vault), James Allen and Piercing Pagoda, which operates through mall-based kiosks. Its Canadian stores operate as the Peoples Jewellers store banner. The segment also operates a variety of mall-based regional banners.

The International reportable segment operates stores in the UK, Republic of Ireland and Channel Islands. Its stores operate in shopping malls and off-mall locations (i.e. high street) principally as H.Samuel and Ernest Jones.

The Other reportable segment consists of all non-reportable segments that are below the quantifiable threshold for separate disclosure as a reportable segment, including subsidiaries involved in the purchasing and conversion of rough diamonds to polished stones and unallocated corporate administrative functions.

5. Restructuring Plans

Signet Path to Brilliance Plan

During the first quarter of Fiscal 2019, Signet launched a three-year comprehensive transformation plan, the “Signet Path to Brilliance” plan (the “Plan”), to reposition the Company to be a share-gaining, OmniChannel jewelry category leader. The Plan is expected to result in pre-tax charges in the range of $200 million - $220 million over the duration of the plan of which $105 million - $115 million are expected to be cash charges.

Restructuring charges and other Plan related costs of $10.6 million and $65.2 million were recognized in the 13 and 39 weeks ended November 2, 2019, respectively, primarily related to store closure, severance costs and professional fees for legal and consulting services.

6. Redeemable preferred shares

On October 5, 2016, the Company issued 625,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preference Shares (“preferred shares”) to certain affiliates of Leonard Green & Partners, L.P., 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. Preferred shareholders are entitled to a cumulative dividend at the rate of 5% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears. Refer to Note 7 for additional discussion of the Company’s dividends on preferred shares.

8. Earnings (loss) per common share (“EPS”)

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



	13 weeks ended						39 weeks ended
(in millions, except per share amounts)	November 2, 2019			November 3, 2018			November 2, 2019			November 3, 2018
Numerator:
Net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders	$	(43.7	)	$	(38.1	)	$	(106.2	)	$	(574.1	)
Denominator:
Weighted average common shares outstanding	51.8			51.5			51.7			55.7
EPS – basic	$	(0.84	)	$	(0.74	)	$	(2.05	)	$	(10.31	)

The dilutive effect of share awards represents the potential impact of outstanding awards issued under the Company’s share-based compensation plans, including restricted shares, restricted stock units and stock options issued under the Omnibus Plan and stock options issued under the Share Saving Plans. The dilutive effect of preferred shares represents the potential impact for common shares that would be issued upon conversion. Potential common share dilution related to share awards and preferred shares is determined using the treasury stock and if-converted methods, respectively. Under the if-converted method, the preferred shares are assumed to be converted at the beginning of the period, and the resulting common shares are included in the denominator of the diluted EPS calculation for the entire period being presented, only in the periods in which such effect is dilutive. Additionally, in periods in which preferred shares are dilutive, cumulative dividends and accretion for issuance costs associated with the preferred shares are added back to net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders. See Note 6 for additional discussion of the Company’s preferred shares.

The computation of diluted EPS is outlined in the table below:



	13 weeks ended						39 weeks ended
(in millions, except per share amounts)	November 2, 2019			November 3, 2018			November 2, 2019			November 3, 2018

EPS – diluted	$	(0.84	)	$	(0.74	)	$	(2.05	)	$	(10.31	)

The calculation of diluted EPS excludes the following items for each respective period on the basis that their effect would be anti-dilutive.

⁽¹⁾	Fiscal 2019 effective tax rate computed based on actual tax rate for the 39 weeks ended November 3, 2018.

Table of Contents

During the 39 weeks ended November 2, 2019, the Company’s effective tax rate was lower than the US federal income tax rate primarily due to the unfavorable impact of impairment of goodwill which was not deductible for tax purposes. The estimated annual effective tax rate excludes the effects of any discrete items that may be recognized in future periods.

As of November 2, 2019, 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 2, 2019.

11. Accounts receivable

During Fiscal 2018, Signet announced a strategic initiative to outsource its North America private label credit card programs and sell the existing in-house finance receivables. In October 2017, Signet, through its subsidiary Sterling Jewelers Inc. (“Sterling”), completed the sale of the prime-only credit quality portion of Sterling’s in-house finance receivable portfolio to Comenity Bank (“Comenity”). In June 2018, the Company completed the sale of the non-prime in-house accounts receivable to CarVal Investors (“CarVal”) and the appointed minority party, Castlelake, L.P. (“Castlelake”).

In addition, for a five-year term, Signet will remain the issuer of non-prime credit with investment funds managed by CarVal and Castlelake purchasing forward receivables at a discount rate determined in accordance with their respective agreements. Signet will hold the newly issued non-prime credit receivables on its balance sheet for two business days prior to selling the receivables to the respective counterparty in accordance with the agreements. Receivables issued by the Company but pending transfer to CarVal and Castlelake as of period end are classified as “held for sale” and included in the accounts receivable caption in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of November 2, 2019, the accounts receivable, held for sale were recorded at fair value. See Note 16 for additional information regarding the assumptions utilized in the calculation of fair value of the finance receivables held for sale.

The following table presents the components of Signet’s accounts receivable:



(in millions)	November 2, 2019		February 2, 2019		November 3, 2018
Accounts receivable, held for investment	$	16.4	$	19.5	$	9.3
Accounts receivable, held for sale	4.4		4.2		4.8
Accounts receivable	$	20.8	$	23.7	$	14.1

In March 2018, the eligible non-prime in-house accounts receivables that met the criteria for sale were reclassified from "held for investment" to "held for sale" on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Accordingly, the receivables were recorded at the lower of cost (par) or fair value as of the date of the reclassification with subsequent adjustments to the asset fair value as required through the closing date of the transaction. During the 39 weeks ended November 3, 2018, total valuation losses of $160.4 million were recorded within credit transaction, net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. During the 13 and 39 weeks ended November 3, 2018, other transaction-related costs of $0.4 million and $7.0 million, respectively, were recorded within credit transaction, net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Accounts receivable, held for investment is comprised primarily of accounts receivable related to the sale of diamonds from its polishing factory deemed unsuitable for Signet's needs in the Other segment.

12. Inventories

The following table summarizes the Company’s inventory by classification:



(in millions)	November 2, 2019		February 2, 2019		November 3, 2018
Raw materials	$	65.5	$	76.3	$	79.9
Finished goods	2,453.9		2,310.6		2,567.2
Total inventories	$	2,519.4	$	2,386.9	$	2,647.1

During the 39 weeks ended November 2, 2019, as a part of the “Signet Path to Brilliance” restructuring plan, the Company recorded inventory charges of $5.8 million primarily associated with discontinued brands and collections within the restructuring charges - cost of sales line item on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the 39 weeks ended November 3, 2018, the Company recorded inventory charges of $63.2 million as part of the “Signet Path to Brilliance” plan. See Note 5 for additional information.

As of November 2, 2019, inventory reserves were $81.6 million (February 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018: $95.3 million and $89.0 million, respectively).

13. Leases

Signet occupies certain properties and holds machinery and vehicles under operating leases. Signet determines if an arrangement is a lease at the agreement’s inception. Certain operating leases include predetermined rent increases, which are charged to store occupancy costs within cost of sales on a straight-line basis over the lease term, including any construction period or other rental holiday. Other variable amounts paid under operating leases, such as taxes and common area maintenance, are charged to selling, general and administrative expenses as incurred. Premiums paid to acquire short-term leasehold properties and inducements to enter into a lease are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In addition, certain leases provide for contingent rent based on a percentage of sales in excess of a predetermined level. Further, certain leases provide for variable rent increases based on indexes specified within the lease agreement. As the contingent rent and variable increases are not measurable at inception, the amounts are excluded from minimum rent and the calculation of the operating lease liability. These amounts are included in variable lease cost and included in the determination of total lease cost when it is probable that the expense has been incurred and the amount is reasonably estimable. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and current and non-current operating lease liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, Signet uses its incremental borrowing rate available at the lease commencement date, based primarily on the underlying lease term, in measuring the present value of lease payments. Lease terms, which include the period of the lease that can not be canceled, may also include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. The operating lease ROU asset may also include initial direct costs, prepaid and/or accrued lease payments and the unamortized balance of lease incentives received. ROU assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable in accordance with the Company’s long-lived asset impairment assessment policy.

Weighted average lease term and discount rate were as follows:



	November 2, 2019
Weighted average remaining lease term (in years)	6.8
Weighted average discount rate	5.6	%

Total lease costs for operating leases are as follows:



	13 weeks ended			39 weeks ended
(in millions)	November 2, 2019			November 2, 2019
Operating lease cost	$	115.3		$	342.4
Short-term lease cost	4.0			15.2
Variable lease cost	10.0			64.0
Sublease income	(0.3		)	(1.2		)
Total lease cost	$	129.0		$	420.4

Payments arising from operating lease activity, as well as variable and short-term lease payments not included within the operating lease liability, are included as operating activities on the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. Payments representing costs to ready an ROU asset for its intended use are represented within investing activities within the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Supplemental cash flow information related to leases was as follows:

14. Goodwill and intangibles

Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets, such as indefinite-lived trade names, are evaluated for impairment annually. Additionally, if events or conditions were to indicate the carrying value of a reporting unit or an indefinite-lived intangible asset may be greater than its fair value, the Company would evaluate the asset for impairment at that time. Impairment testing compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit or other intangible assets with its fair value. When the carrying amount of the reporting unit or other intangible assets exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recorded.

Due to a sustained decline in the Company’s market capitalization during the 13 weeks ended May 5, 2018, the Company determined a triggering event had occurred that required an interim impairment assessment for all of its reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets. As part of the assessment, it was determined that an increase in the discount rate applied in the valuation was required to align with market-based assumptions and company-specific risk. This higher discount rate, in conjunction with revised long-term projections associated with finalizing certain initial aspects of the Company’s Path to Brilliance transformation plan, resulted in lower than previously projected long-term future cash flows for the reporting units which negatively affected the valuation compared to previous valuations. As a result of the interim impairment assessment, the Company recognized pre-tax impairment charges totaling $448.7 million in the 13 weeks ended May 5, 2018.

Due to a continued decline in the Company’s market capitalization during the 13 weeks ended February 2, 2019, the Company determined a triggering event had occurred that required additional interim impairment assessments for its reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets. The Company recognized additional pre-tax impairment charges totaling $286.7 million during the 13 weeks ended February 2, 2019 primarily related to revised long-term projections and a higher discount rate associated with James Allen.

Goodwill

During the first quarter of Fiscal 2019, the Company compared the fair value of each of its reporting units using a combination of discounted cash flow and guideline public company methodologies with their carrying value and concluded that a deficit existed. Accordingly, in the 13 weeks ended May 5, 2018, the Company recognized pre-tax impairment charges in operations of $308.8 million within its North America segment. Due to the second triggering event in the 13 weeks ended February 2, 2019 and using similar

Table of Contents

methodologies as the initial impairment assessment, the Company recognized additional pre-tax impairment charges in operations of $208.8 million and $3.6 million within its North America and Other segments, respectively.

During the 13 weeks ended August 3, 2019, a non-cash immaterial out-of-period adjustment of $47.7 million, with $35.2 million related to Zales goodwill and $12.5 million related to R2Net goodwill, was recognized within Goodwill and intangible impairments on the condensed consolidated statements of operations related to an error in the calculation of goodwill impairments during Fiscal 2019.

The following table summarizes the Company’s goodwill by reportable segment:



(in millions)	North America			Other			Total
Balance at February 3, 2018	$	818.1		$	3.6		$	821.7
Impairment	(517.6		)	(3.6		)	(521.2		)
Impact of foreign exchange and other adjustments ⁽¹⁾	(3.9		)	—			(3.9		)
Balance at February 2, 2019	296.6			—			296.6
Impairment⁽²⁾	(47.7		)	—			(47.7		)
Impact of foreign exchange and other adjustments	(0.1		)	—			(0.1		)
Balance at November 2, 2019	$	248.8		$	—		$	248.8


(1)	During Fiscal 2019, other adjustments include a purchase price accounting adjustment of $2.6 million related to a revised valuation of acquired intangible assets from the R2Net acquisition.


(2)	During the 39 weeks ended November 2, 2019, an immaterial out-of-period adjustment was recognized related to an error in the calculation of goodwill impairments during Fiscal 2019.

Intangibles

Definite-lived intangible assets include trade names and favorable lease agreements. All indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of trade names. Both definite and indefinite-lived assets are recorded within intangible assets, net, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Intangible liabilities, net, is comprised of unfavorable lease agreements and contracts and is recorded within other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

In conjunction with the interim goodwill impairment tests during Fiscal 2019, the Company reviewed its indefinite-lived intangible assets for potential impairment by calculating the fair values of the assets using the relief from royalty method and comparing the fair values to their respective carrying amounts. The interim impairment tests resulted in the determination that the fair values of indefinite-lived intangible assets related to certain Zales trade names were less than their carrying value. Accordingly, in the 13 weeks ended May 5, 2018, the Company recognized pre-tax impairment charges in operations of $139.9 million within its North America segment. Additionally, in conjunction with the interim goodwill impairment tests associated with the second triggering event in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2019, the Company determined that the fair values of indefinite-lived intangible assets related to trade names, primarily James Allen, were less than their carrying value. Accordingly, in the 13 weeks ended February 2, 2019, the Company recognized pre-tax impairment charges in operations of $74.3 million within its North America segment.

The following table provides additional detail regarding the composition of intangible assets and liabilities:



	November 2, 2019									February 2, 2019									November 3, 2018
(in millions)	Gross carrying amount			Accumulated amortization⁽¹⁾			Net carrying amount			Gross carrying amount			Accumulated amortization⁽¹⁾			Net carrying amount			Gross carrying amount			Accumulated amortization⁽¹⁾			Net carrying amount
Intangible assets, net:
Definite-lived intangible assets	$	53.2		$	(50.7	)	$	2.5		$	53.3		$	(50.1	)	$	3.2		$	53.3		$	(49.3	)	$	4.0

(1)	Accumulated amortization amounts related to the indefinite-lived intangible assets represents accumulated impairment losses recorded to date.

During the second quarter of Fiscal 2020, the Company performed its annual evaluation of its indefinite-lived intangible assets, including goodwill and trade names identified in the Zale acquisition, for impairment indicators. Additionally, due to a continued decline in the Company’s market capitalization during the second quarter of Fiscal 2020, the Company determined a triggering event had occurred requiring interim impairment assessments for its remaining reporting units with goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. Using

Table of Contents

methodologies similar to the assessments performed in Fiscal 2019 described above, the Company determined no additional impairment charges were required to be recognized during Fiscal 2020 related to the annual evaluation or interim assessment.

Based on management’s assessment during the third quarter of Fiscal 2020, 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 exceed their fair values. The Company will continue to monitor the share price of the Company’s stock, as well as key business metrics and inputs used to estimate fair value, such as sales trends and interest rates.

As a result of the impairment of goodwill and tradenames during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2019, goodwill of $77.8 million associated with the R2Net acquisition and the Company’s tradenames within the North America segment continue to approximate their respective fair values and could be at risk for future impairments.

15. Derivatives

Derivative transactions are used by Signet for risk management purposes to address risks inherent in Signet’s business operations and sources of financing. The main risks arising from Signet’s operations are market risk including foreign currency risk, commodity risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk. Signet uses derivative financial instruments to manage and mitigate certain of these risks under policies reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors. Signet does not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes.

Market risk

Signet generates revenues and incurs expenses in US dollars, Canadian dollars and British pounds. As a portion of the International segment purchases and purchases made by the Canadian operations of the North America segment are denominated in US dollars, Signet enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign currency swaps to manage this exposure to the US dollar.

Signet holds a fluctuating amount of British pounds and Canadian dollars reflecting the cash generative characteristics of operations. Signet’s objective is to minimize net foreign exchange exposure to the income statement on non-US dollar denominated items through managing cash levels, non-US dollar denominated intra-entity balances and foreign currency swaps. In order to manage the foreign exchange exposure and minimize the level of funds denominated in British pounds and Canadian dollars, dividends are paid regularly by subsidiaries to their immediate holding companies and excess British pounds and Canadian dollars are sold in exchange for US dollars.

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 Board of Directors. In particular, Signet undertakes some hedging of its requirements for gold through the use of forward purchase contracts, options and net zero premium collar arrangements (a combination of forwards and option contracts).

Liquidity risk

Signet’s objective is to ensure that it has access to, or the ability to generate, sufficient cash from either internal or external sources in a timely and cost-effective manner to meet its commitments as they become due and payable. Signet manages liquidity risks as part of its overall risk management policy. Management produces forecasting and budgeting information that is reviewed and monitored by the Board of Directors. Cash generated from operations and external financing are the main sources of funding, which supplement Signet’s resources in meeting liquidity requirements.

The primary external sources of funding are an asset-based credit facility and senior unsecured notes as described in Note 17.

Interest rate risk

Signet has exposure to movements in interest rates associated with cash and borrowings. Signet may enter into various interest rate protection agreements in order to limit the impact of movements in interest rates.

Interest rate swap (designated) — The Company entered into an interest rate swap in March 2015 with an aggregate notional amount of $300.0 million that matured in April 2019. Under this contract, the Company agreed to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed contract rates and floating rate interest amounts calculated by reference to the agreed notional amounts. This contract was entered into to reduce the consolidated interest rate risk associated with variable rate, long-term debt. The Company designated this derivative as a cash flow hedge of the variability in expected cash outflows for interest payments. During the term of the interest rate swap, the Company effectively converted a portion of its variable-rate senior unsecured term loan into fixed-rate debt.

Credit risk and concentrations of credit risk

Credit risk represents the loss that would be recognized at the reporting date if counterparties failed to perform as contracted. Signet does not anticipate non-performance by counterparties of its financial instruments. Signet does not require collateral or other security to support cash investments or financial instruments with credit risk; however, it is Signet’s policy to only hold cash and cash equivalent investments and to transact financial instruments with financial institutions with a certain minimum credit rating. As of November 2, 2019, management does not believe Signet is exposed to any significant concentrations of credit risk that arise from cash and cash equivalent investments, derivatives or accounts receivable.

Table of Contents

Commodity and foreign currency risks

The following types of derivative financial instruments are utilized by Signet to mitigate certain risk exposures related to changes in commodity prices and foreign exchange rates:

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts (designated) — These contracts, which are principally in US dollars, are entered into to limit the impact of movements in foreign exchange rates on forecasted foreign currency purchases. The total notional amount of these foreign currency contracts outstanding as of November 2, 2019 was $25.0 million (February 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018: $22.4 million and $18.5 million, respectively). These contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges and will be settled over the next 11 months (February 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018: 12 months and 12 months, respectively).

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 November 2, 2019 was $134.3 million (February 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018: $111.5 million and $90.2 million, respectively).

Commodity forward purchase contracts and net zero-cost collar arrangements (designated) — These contracts are entered into to reduce Signet’s exposure to significant movements in the price of the underlying precious metal raw materials. The total notional amount of these commodity derivative contracts outstanding as of November 2, 2019 was 75,000 ounces of gold (February 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018: 89,000 ounces and 111,000 ounces, respectively). These contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges and will be settled over the next 14 months (February 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018: 20 months and 23 months, respectively).

The bank counterparties to the derivative instruments expose Signet to credit-related losses in the event of their non-performance. However, to mitigate that risk, Signet only contracts with counterparties that meet certain minimum requirements under its counterparty risk assessment process. As of November 2, 2019, Signet believes that this credit risk did not materially change the fair value of the foreign currency or commodity contracts.

16. Fair value measurement

The estimated fair value of Signet’s financial instruments held or issued to finance Signet’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 Signet 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

Signet determines fair value based upon quoted prices when available or through the use of alternative approaches, such as discounting the expected cash flows using market interest rates commensurate with the credit quality and duration of the investment. The methods Signet uses to determine fair value on an instrument-specific basis are detailed below:



	November 2, 2019								February 2, 2019								November 3, 2018
(in millions)	Carrying Value			Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1)		Significant other observable inputs (Level 2)			Carrying Value			Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1)		Significant other observable inputs (Level 2)			Carrying Value			Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1)		Significant other observable inputs (Level 2)

Investments in US Treasury securities and corporate equity securities are based on quoted market prices for identical instruments in active markets, and therefore were classified as Level 1 measurements in the fair value hierarchy. Investments in US government agency securities and corporate 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 at the balance sheet date, taking into account the current interest rate environment, foreign currency forward rates or

Table of Contents

commodity forward rates, and therefore were classified as Level 2 measurements in the fair value hierarchy. See Note 15 for additional information related to the Company’s derivatives.

During the second quarter of Fiscal 2019, the Company completed the sale of all eligible non-prime in-house accounts receivable. Upon closing, 5% of the purchase price was deferred until the second anniversary of the closing date. Final payment of the deferred purchase price is contingent upon the non-prime portfolio achieving a pre-defined yield. The Company recorded an asset related to this deferred payment within other assets at fair value. This estimated fair value was derived from a discounted cash flow model using unobservable inputs, including estimated yields derived from historic performance, loss rates, payment rates and discount rates to estimate the fair value associated with the accounts receivable. The Company will adjust the asset to fair value through AOCI in each subsequent period through the performance period until settled. As of November 2, 2019, the fair value of the deferred payment was $21.0 million, which is recorded within other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. See Note 11 for additional information.

Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets, are evaluated for impairment annually or more frequently if events or conditions were to indicate the carrying value of a reporting unit or an indefinite-lived intangible asset may be greater than its fair value. Impairment testing compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit or other intangible assets with its fair value. During the 13 weeks ended August 3, 2019, the Company performed an interim impairment test for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. The fair value was calculated using a combination of discounted cash flow and guideline public company methodologies for the reporting units and the relief from royalty method for the indefinite-lived intangible assets, respectively. The fair value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets is a Level 3 valuation based on certain unobservable inputs including projected cash flows and estimated risk-adjusted rates of return that would be utilized by market participants in valuing these assets or prices of similar assets. See Note 14 for additional information.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and income taxes approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these amounts.

The fair values of long-term debt instruments, excluding revolving credit facilities, were determined using quoted market prices in inactive markets or discounted cash flows based upon current observable market interest rates and therefore were classified as Level 2 measurements in the fair value hierarchy. The carrying value of the ABL Revolving Facility (as defined in Note 17) approximates fair value. The following table provides a summary of the carrying amount and fair value of outstanding debt:



	November 2, 2019				February 2, 2019				November 3, 2018

Revolving credit facility and term loan (the “Credit Facility”)

On September 27, 2019, in connection with the issuance of a new senior secured asset-based credit facility, the Company repaid and terminated the Credit Facility. Refer to the “Asset-based credit facility” section below. The original maturity of the Credit Facility was July 2021. Unamortized debt issuance costs of $2.0 million associated with the Credit Facility were written-off in the 13 and 39 week periods ended November 2, 2019 upon executing the termination of the Credit Facility. This expense was recognized as a cost of

extinguishment of the Credit Facility and was recorded within other non-operating income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

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 2024 (the “Notes”). The Notes were issued under an effective registration statement previously filed with the SEC. The Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed, on a full and unconditional basis, by the Company and by certain of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries (such subsidiaries, the “Guarantors”). See Note 21 for additional information.

On September 5, 2019, Signet UK Finance announced the commencement of a tender offer to purchase any and all of its outstanding Notes (the “Tender Offer”). Upon receipt of the requisite consents from Note holders, Signet UK Finance entered into a supplemental indenture which eliminated most of the restrictive covenants and certain default provisions of the indenture. The supplemental indenture became operative on September 27, 2019 upon the Company’s acceptance and payment for the Notes previously validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Tender Offer for an aggregate of $239.6 million, which represented a purchase price of $950.00 per $1,000.00 in principal amount of the Notes validly tendered. The Company recognized a net gain on extinguishment of the validly tendered Notes in the 13 and 39 week periods ended November 2, 2019 of $8.7 million, net of $1.3 million in third party fees and $2.6 million in write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and original issue discount. This net gain was recorded within other non-operating income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Unamortized debt issuance costs relating to the Notes as of November 2, 2019 was $1.2 million (February 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018: $3.7 million and $3.9 million, respectively). The remaining unamortized debt issuance costs are recorded as a direct deduction from the outstanding liability within the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amortization relating to debt issuance costs of $0.2 million and $0.5 million was recorded as interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the 13 and 39 weeks ended November 2, 2019, respectively ($0.2 million and $0.5 million for the 13 and 39 weeks ended November 3, 2018 respectively).

Asset-based credit facility

On September 27, 2019, the Company entered into a senior secured asset-based credit facility consisting of (i) a revolving credit facility in an aggregate committed amount of $1.5 billion (“ABL Revolving Facility”) and (ii) a first-in last-out term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $100.0 million (the “FILO Term Loan Facility” and, together with the ABL Revolving Facility, the “ABL Facility”) pursuant to that certain credit agreement. The ABL Facility will mature on September 27, 2024.

Revolving loans under the ABL Revolving Facility are available in an aggregate amount equal to the lesser of the aggregate ABL revolving commitments and a borrowing base determined based on the value of certain inventory and credit card receivables, subject to specified advance rates and reserves. Indebtedness under the ABL Facility is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, subject to customary exceptions. Borrowings under the ABL Revolving Facility and the FILO Term Loan Facility, as applicable, bear interest at the Company’s option at either eurocurrency rate plus the applicable margin or a base rate plus the applicable margin, in each case depending on the excess availability under the ABL Revolving Facility. The Company had stand-by letters of credit outstanding of $15.5 million on the ABL Revolving Facility as of November 2, 2019. The Company had available borrowing capacity of $871.2 million on the ABL Revolving Facility as of November 2, 2019.

If the excess availability under the ABL Revolving Facility falls below the threshold specified in the ABL Facility agreement, the Company will be required to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.00 to 1.00. The ABL Facility places certain restrictions upon the Company’s ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends, grant liens and make certain loans, investments and divestitures. The ABL Facility contains customary events of default (including payment defaults, cross-defaults to certain of our other indebtedness, breach of representations and covenants and change of control). The occurrence of an event of default under the ABL Facility would permit the lenders to accelerate the indebtedness and terminate the ABL Facility.

Debt issuance costs relating to the ABL Facility totaled $9.0 million, of which $8.4 million of these costs were allocated to the ABL Revolving Facility and $0.6 million was allocated to the FILO Term Loan Facility. The remaining unamortized debt issuance costs for the ABL Revolving Facility are recorded within other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and the remaining unamortized debt issuance costs for the FILO Term Loan Facility are recorded as a direct deduction from the outstanding liability within the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amortization relating to the ABL Facility debt issuance costs of $0.1 million was recorded as interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the 13 and 39 weeks ended November 2, 2019.

Other

As of November 2, 2019, February 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.

Legal proceedings

Employment practices

As previously reported, in March 2008, a group of private plaintiffs (the “Claimants”) filed a class action lawsuit for an unspecified amount against SJI, a subsidiary of Signet, in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York alleging that US store-level employment practices are discriminatory as to compensation and promotional activities with respect to gender. In June 2008, the District Court referred the matter to private arbitration where the Claimants sought to proceed on a class-wide basis. The Claimants filed a motion for class certification and SJI opposed the motion. On February 2, 2015, the arbitrator issued a Class Determination Award in which she certified for a class-wide hearing Claimants’ disparate impact declaratory and injunctive relief class claim under Title VII, with a class period of July 22, 2004 through date of trial for the Claimants’ compensation claims and December 7, 2004 through date of trial for Claimants’ promotion claims. The arbitrator otherwise denied Claimants’ motion to certify a disparate treatment class alleged under Title VII, denied a disparate impact monetary damages class alleged under Title VII, and denied an opt-out monetary damages class under the Equal Pay Act. On February 9, 2015, Claimants filed an Emergency Motion To Restrict Communications With The Certified Class And For Corrective Notice. SJI filed its opposition to Claimants’ emergency motion on February 17, 2015, and a hearing was held on February 18, 2015. Claimants’ motion was granted in part and denied in part in an order issued on March 16, 2015. Claimants filed a Motion for Reconsideration Regarding Title VII Claims for Disparate Treatment in Compensation on February 11, 2015, which SJI opposed. April 27, 2015, the arbitrator issued an order denying the Claimants’ Motion. SJI filed with the US District Court for the Southern District of New York a Motion to Vacate the Arbitrator’s Class Certification Award on March 3, 2015, which Claimants opposed. On November 16, 2015, the US District Court for the Southern District of New York granted SJI’s Motion to Vacate the Arbitrator’s Class Certification Award in part and denied it in part. On December 3, 2015, SJI filed with the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit SJI’s Notice of Appeal of the District Court’s November 16, 2015 Opinion and Order. On November 25, 2015, SJI filed a Motion to Stay the AAA Proceedings while SJI appeals the decision of the US District Court for the Southern District of New York to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, which Claimants opposed. The arbitrator issued an order denying SJI’s Motion to Stay on February 22, 2016.SJI filed its Brief and Special Appendix with the Second Circuit on March 16, 2016. The matter was fully briefed, and oral argument was heard by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit on November 2, 2016. On April 6, 2015, Claimants filed in the AAA Claimants’ Motion for Clarification or in the Alternative Motion for Stay of the Effect of the Class Certification Award

as to the Individual Intentional Discrimination Claims, which SJI opposed. On June 15, 2015, the arbitrator granted the Claimants’ motion. On March 6, 2017, Claimants filed Claimants’ Motion for Conditional Certification of Claimants’ Equal Pay Act Claims and Authorization of Notice, which SJI opposed The arbitrator heard oral argument on Claimants’ Motion on December 18, 2015 and, on February 29, 2016, issued an Equal Pay Act Collective Action Conditional Certification Award and Order Re Claimants’ Motion For Tolling Of EPA Limitations Period, conditionally certifying Claimants’ Equal Pay Act claims as a collective action, and tolling the statute of limitations on EPA claims to October 16, 2003 to ninety days after notice issues to the putative members of the collective action. SJI filed in the AAA a Motion To Stay Arbitration Pending The District Court’s Consideration Of Respondent’s Motion To Vacate Arbitrator’s Equal Pay Act Collective Action Conditional Certification Award And Order Re Claimants’ Motion For Tolling Of EPA Limitations Period on March 10, 2016. SJI filed in the AAA a Renewed Motion To Stay Arbitration Pending The District Court’s Resolution Of Sterling’s Motion To Vacate Arbitrator’s Equal Pay Act Collective Action Conditional Certification Award And Order Re Claimants’ Motion For Tolling Of EPA Limitations Period on March 31, 2016, which Claimants opposed. On April 5, 2016, the arbitrator denied SJI’s Motion. On March 23, 2016 SJI filed with the US District Court for the Southern District of New York a Motion To Vacate The Arbitrator’s Equal Pay Act Collective Action Conditional Certification Award And Order Re Claimants’ Motion For Tolling Of EPA Limitations Period, which Claimants opposed. SJI’s Motion was denied on May 22, 2016. On May 31, 2016, SJI filed a Notice Of Appeal of Judge Rakoff’s opinion and order to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, which Claimant’s opposed. On June 1, 2017, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed SJI’s appeal for lack of appellate jurisdiction. Claimants filed a Motion For Amended Class Determination Award on November 18, 2015, and on March 31, 2016 the arbitrator entered an order amending the Title VII class certification award to preclude class members from requesting exclusion from the injunctive and declaratory relief class certified in the arbitration. The arbitrator issued a Bifurcated Case Management Plan on April 5, 2016 and ordered into effect the parties’ Stipulation Regarding Notice Of Equal Pay Act Collective Action And Related Notice Administrative Procedures on April 7, 2016. SJI filed in the AAA a Motion For Protective Order on May 2, 2016, which Claimants opposed. The matter was fully briefed, and oral argument was heard on July 22, 2016. The motion was granted in part on January 27, 2017. Notice to EPA collective action members was issued on May 3, 2016, and the opt-in period for these notice recipients closed on August 1, 2016. Approximately, 10,314 current and former employees submitted consent forms to opt in to the collective action; however, some have withdrawn their consents. The number of valid consents is disputed and yet to be determined. SJI believes the number of valid consents to be approximately 9,124. On July 24, 2017, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit issued its unanimous Summary Order that held that the absent class members “never consented” to the Arbitrator determining the permissibility of class arbitration under the agreements, and remanded the matter to the District Court to determine whether the Arbitrator exceeded her authority by certifying the Title VII class that contained absent class members who had not opted in the litigation. On August 7, 2017, SJI filed its Renewed Motion to Vacate the Class Determination Award relative to absent class members with the District Court. The matter was fully briefed, and an oral argument was heard on October 16, 2017. On November 10, 2017, SJI filed in the arbitration motions for summary judgment, and for decertification, of Claimants’ Equal Pay Act and Title VII promotions claims. On January 30, 2018, oral argument on SJI’s motions was heard. On January 26, 2018, SJI filed in the arbitration a Motion to Vacate The Equal Pay Act Collective Action Award And Tolling Order asserting that the Arbitrator exceeded her authority by conditionally certifying the Equal Pay Act claim and allowing the absent claimants to opt-in the litigation. On March 12, 2018, the Arbitrator denied SJI’s Motion to Vacate The Equal Pay Act Collective Action Award and Tolling Order. SJI still has a pending motion seeking decertification of the EPA Collective Action before the Arbitrator. On March 19, 2018, the Arbitrator issued an Order partially granting SJI’s Motion to Amend the Arbitrator’s November 2, 2017, Bifurcated Seventh Amended Case Management Plan resulting in a continuance of the May 14, 2018 trial date. A new trial date has not been set. On January 15, 2018, District Court granted SJI’s August 17, 2017 Renewed Motion to Vacate the Class Determination Award finding that the Arbitrator exceeded her authority by binding non-parties (absent class members) to the Title VII claim. The District Court further held that the RESOLVE Agreement does not permit class action procedures, thereby, reducing the Claimants in the Title VII matter from 70,000 to potentially 254. Claimants dispute that the number of claimants in the Title VII is 254. On January 18, 2018, the Claimants filed a Notice of Appeal with the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. The appeal was fully briefed and oral argument before the Second Circuit occurred on May 7, 2018. On May 17, 2019, SJI submitted a Rule 28(j) letter to the Second Circuit addressing the effects of the Supreme Court’s ruling in Lamps Plus, Inc. v. Varela, No. 17-988 (S. Ct. Apr. 24, 2019), on the pending appeal. The Second Circuit then issued an order directing the parties to submit additional arguments on that issue, which were submitted. On November 18, 2019 the Second Circuit issued an order reversing and remanding the District Court’s January 15, 2018 Order that vacated the Arbitrator’s Class Determination Award certifying for declaratory and injunctive relief a Title VII pay and promotions class of female retail sales employees. The Second Circuit held that the District Court erred when it concluded that the Arbitrator exceeded her authority in purporting to bind absent class members to the Class Determination Award. The Second Circuit remanded the case to the District Court to decide the narrower question of whether the Arbitrator erred in certifying an opt-out, as opposed to a mandatory, class for declaratory and injunctive relief. On December 2, 2019, SJI filed a petition for a hearing en banc with the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.

SJI denies the allegations of the Claimants and has been defending the case vigorously. At this point, no outcome or possible loss or range of losses, if any, arising from the litigation is able to be estimated.

Also, as previously reported, on September 23, 2008, the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) filed a lawsuit against SJI in the US District Court for the Western District of New York. This suit was settled on May 5, 2017, as further described below. The EEOC’s lawsuit alleged that SJI engaged in intentional and disparate impact gender discrimination with respect to pay and promotions of female retail store employees from January 1, 2003 to the present. The EEOC asserted claims for unspecified monetary

Table of Contents

relief and non-monetary relief against the Company on behalf of a class of female employees subjected to these alleged practices. Non-expert fact discovery closed in mid-May 2013. In September 2013, SJI made a motion for partial summary judgment on procedural grounds, which was referred to a Magistrate Judge. The Magistrate Judge heard oral arguments on the summary judgment motion in December 2013. On January 2, 2014, the Magistrate Judge issued his Report, Recommendation and Order, recommending that the Court grant SJI’s motion for partial summary judgment and dismiss the EEOC’s claims in their entirety. The EEOC filed its objections to the Magistrate Judge’s ruling and SJI filed its response thereto. The District Court Judge heard oral arguments on the EEOC’s objections to the Magistrate Judge’s ruling on March 7, 2014 and on March 11, 2014 entered an order dismissing the action with prejudice. On May 12, 2014, the EEOC filed its Notice of Appeal of the District Court Judge’s dismissal of the action to United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. The parties fully briefed the appeal and oral argument occurred on May 5, 2015. On September 9, 2015, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit issued a decision vacating the District Court’s order and remanding the case back to the District Court for further proceedings. SJI filed a Petition for Panel Rehearing and En Banc Review with the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, which was denied on December 1, 2015.

The Motion was granted by the Second Circuit on December 10, 2015. SJI filed a Petition For Writ Of Certiorari in the Supreme Court of the United States on April 29, 2016, which was denied. The case was remanded to the Western District of New York and on November 2, 2016, the Court issued a case scheduling order.

Shareholder Actions

In August 2016, two alleged Company shareholders each filed a putative class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company and its then-current Chief Executive Officer and current Chief Financial Officer (Nos. 16-cv-6728 and 16-cv-6861, the “S.D.N.Y. cases”). On September 16, 2016, the Court consolidated the S.D.N.Y. cases under case number 16-cv-6728. On April 3, 2017, the plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint, purportedly on behalf of persons that acquired the Company’s securities on or between August 29, 2013, and February 27, 2017, naming as defendants the Company, its then-current and former Chief Executive Officers, and its current and former Chief Financial Officers. The second amended complaint alleged that the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by, among other things, misrepresenting the Company’s business and earnings by (i) failing to disclose that the Company was allegedly having issues ensuring the safety of customers’ jewelry while in the Company’s custody for repairs, which allegedly damaged customer confidence; (ii) making misleading statements about the Company’s credit portfolio; and (iii) failing to disclose reports of sexual harassment allegations that were raised by claimants in an ongoing pay and promotion gender discrimination class arbitration (the “Arbitration”). The second amended complaint alleged that the Company’s share price was artificially inflated as a result of the alleged misrepresentations and sought unspecified compensatory damages and costs and expenses, including attorneys’ and experts’ fees.

In March 2017, two other alleged Company shareholders each filed a putative class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas against the Company and its then-current and former Chief Executive Officers (Nos. 17-cv-875 and 17-cv-923, the “N.D. Tex. cases”). Those complaints were nearly identical to each other and alleged that the defendants’ statements concerning the Arbitration violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The N.D. Tex. cases were subsequently transferred to the Southern District of New York and consolidated with the S.D.N.Y. cases (the “Consolidated Action”). On July 27, 2017, the Court appointed a lead plaintiff and lead plaintiff’s counsel in the Consolidated Action. On August 3, 2017, the Court ordered the lead plaintiff in the Consolidated Action to file a third amended complaint by September 29, 2017. On September 29, 2017, the lead plaintiff filed a third amended complaint that covered a putative class period of August 29, 2013, through May 24, 2017, and that asserted substantially similar claims to the second amended complaint, except that it omitted the claim based on defendants’ alleged misstatements concerning the security of customers’ jewelry while in the Company’s custody for repairs. The defendants moved to dismiss the third amended complaint on December 1, 2017. On December 4, 2017, the Court entered an order permitting the lead plaintiff to amend its complaint as of right by December 22, 2017, and providing that the lead plaintiff would not be given any further opportunity to amend its complaint to address the issues raised in the defendants’ motion to dismiss.

On December 15, 2017, another alleged Company shareholder filed a putative class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company and its current Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (No. 17-cv-9853). This complaint alleged that the defendants made misleading statements regarding the Company’s credit portfolio between August 24, 2017, and November 21, 2017, in violation of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and sought unspecified compensatory damages and costs and expenses, including attorneys’ and experts’ fees. On January 7, 2018, this case was consolidated into the Consolidated Action.

Table of Contents

On December 22, 2017, the lead plaintiff in the Consolidated Action filed its fourth amended complaint, which asserted substantially the same claims as its third amended complaint for an expanded class period of August 28, 2013, through December 1, 2017. On January 26, 2017, the defendants moved to dismiss the fourth amended complaint. This motion was fully briefed as of March 9, 2018.

On March 20, 2018, the Court granted the lead plaintiff leave to file a fifth amended complaint. On March 22, 2018, the lead plaintiff in the Consolidated Action filed its fifth amended complaint which asserts substantially the same claims as its fourth amended complaint for an expanded class period of August 29, 2013, through March 13, 2018. The prior motion to dismiss was denied as moot. On March 30, 2018, the defendants moved to dismiss the fifth amended complaint. On November 26, 2018, the Court denied the defendants’ motion to dismiss.

On March 15, 2019, the lead plaintiff moved for appointment of a class representative and class counsel and for certification of a class period of August 29, 2013, through March 13, 2018. On July 10, 2019, the Court granted the motion and certified a class of all persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired Signet common stock from August 29, 2013 to May 25, 2017. The Court also appointed a class representative and class counsel.

On May 9, 2019, the defendants moved for judgment on the pleadings with respect to certain alleged misstatements. On June 11, 2019, the Court denied the defendants’ motion for judgment on the pleadings. The defendants moved for reconsideration on June 18, 2019. The Court denied that motion on June 20, 2019.

On July 24, 2019, the defendants filed with the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit a petition for permission to appeal the District Court’s class certification decision. On November 19, 2019, the Court of Appeals granted that petition. On November 20, 2019, the parties jointly moved to stay proceedings in the District Court while the appeal is pending. On November 21, 2019, the District Court granted that motion.

On March 27, 2019, two actions were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York by investment funds that allegedly purchased the Company’s stock (Nos. 19-cv-2757 and 19-cv-2758), and name the Company and its current and former Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officers as defendants. Both complaints allege violations of Sections 10(b), 18, and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and common law fraud, based on alleged misstatements and omissions concerning the Company’s credit portfolio. These claims are substantially the same as the credit-related claims in the Consolidated Action, except that No. 19-cv-2757 alleges a “relevant period” of August 29, 2013, to June 2, 2016, and No. 19-cv-2758 alleges a “relevant period” of August 29, 2013, to August 25, 2016. On May 14, 2019, and May 29, 2019, the Court entered orders staying these actions until entry of final judgment in the Consolidated Action.

On October 25, 2019, two more actions were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York by investment funds that allegedly purchased the Company’s stock (Nos. 19-cv-9916 and 19-cv-9917), and name the Company and its current and former Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officers as defendants. Both complaints allege violations of Sections 10(b), 18, and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and common law fraud. The claims in No. 19-cv-9916 are substantially the same as the claims in the Consolidated Action related to the Company’s alleged failure to disclose reports of sexual harassment allegations that were raised by claimants in the Arbitration, except that No. 19-cv-9916 alleges a “relevant period” of December 2, 2016, to February 1, 2017. The claims in No. 19-cv-9917 are substantially the same as the claims in the Consolidated Action, except that No. 19-cv-9917 alleges a “relevant period” of August 28, 2014, to March 16, 2017. On November 5, 2019, the Court entered orders staying these actions until entry of final judgment in the Consolidated Action.

Derivative Action

On September 1, 2017, Josanne Aungst filed a putative shareholder derivative action entitled Aungst v. Light, et al., No. CV-2017-3665, in the Court of Common Pleas for Summit County Ohio. The complaint in this action, which purports to have been brought by Ms. Aungst on behalf of the Company, names certain current and former directors and officers of the Company as defendants and alleges claims for breach of fiduciary duty, abuse of control, and gross mismanagement. The complaint challenges certain public disclosures and conduct relating to the allegations that were raised by the claimants in the Arbitration. The complaint also alleges that the Company’s share price was artificially inflated as a result of alleged misrepresentations and omissions. The complaint seeks money damages on behalf of the Company, changes to the Company’s corporate governance, and other equitable relief, as well as plaintiff’s legal fees and costs. The defendants’ motion to dismiss the complaint was granted on February 28, 2019. On March 26, 2019, plaintiff filed a notice of appeal of the trial court’s dismissal of the action. On July 1, 2019, plaintiff filed an appeal brief in the Court of Appeals, Ninth Judicial District, Summit County, Ohio. Defendants filed their answering brief on August 9, 2019. Plaintiff filed a reply brief on August 19, 2019. The Court of Appeals scheduled oral argument on plaintiff’s appeal for January 7, 2020.

The Company believes that the claims brought in these shareholder actions are without merit and cannot estimate a range of potential liability, if any, at this time.

OVERVIEW

Signet Jewelers Limited (“Signet” or the “Company”) is the world’s largest retailer of diamond jewelry. Signet is incorporated in Bermuda and its address and telephone number are shown on the cover of this document. Its corporate website is www.signetjewelers.com, from where documents that the Company is required to file or furnish with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) may be viewed or downloaded free of charge.

Table of Contents

•	The North America segment operated 2,689 locations in the US and 124 locations in Canada as of November 2, 2019.


◦	In the US, the segment primarily operates in malls and off-mall locations under the following banners: Kay (Kay Jewelers and Kay Outlet); Zales (Zales Jewelers and Zales Outlet); Jared (Jared The Galleria Of Jewelry and Jared Vault); James Allen; and a variety of mall-based regional banners.

Certain Company activities (e.g. diamond sourcing) are managed as a separate operating segment and are aggregated with unallocated corporate administrative functions in the “Other” segment for financial reporting purposes. The Company’s diamond sourcing function includes its diamond polishing factory in Botswana. See Note 4 of Item 1 for additional information regarding the Company’s reportable segments.

Non-GAAP Measures

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. 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 greater clarity to management and investors.

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 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 debt

Net debt is the total of cash and cash equivalents less loans, overdrafts and long-term debt. Management considers this metric to be helpful in understanding the total indebtedness of the Company after consideration of liquidity available from cash balances on-hand.

2. Free cash flow

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure defined as the net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment. Management considers this 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 in evaluating its overall liquidity and determining appropriate capital allocation strategies. Free cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. In the second quarter of Fiscal 2019, net cash provided by operating activities included $445.5 million in proceeds received in connection with the sale of the Company’s non-prime receivable portfolio, as discussed in Note 11.

3.	Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure defined as earnings before interest and income taxes (operating income), 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, depreciation and amortization costs. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure which further excludes the impact of significant and unusual items which management believes are not necessarily reflective of operational performance during a period. Management believes these financial measures enhance investors’ ability to analyze trends in the business and evaluate performance relative to other companies. Management also utilizes these metrics to evaluate its current credit profile, which is a view consistent with rating agency methodologies.

4.	Non-GAAP operating income (loss)

Non-GAAP operating income (loss) is a non-GAAP measure defined as operating (loss) income excluding the impact of significant and unusual items which management believes are not necessarily reflective of 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 significant and unusual items. In particular, management believes the consideration of measures that exclude such expenses can assist in the comparison of operational performance in different periods which may or may not include such expenses.

In the year to date period, operating income (loss) was $(64.9) million or (1.6)% of sales compared to $(681.1) million or (16.6)% of sales in the prior year. The operating income change reflected: 1) a prior year goodwill and intangible impairment charge of $448.7 million; 2) a prior year loss of $167.4 million related to non-prime receivables classified as held for sale; 3) a current year goodwill impairment charge of $47.7 million; and 4) a $33.6 million year over year decrease in restructuring charges related to the transformation plan. Operating income in the current year was also favorably impacted by transformation cost savings, lower store staffing costs and lower year over year net impact of credit outsourcing, offset by an increase in advertising.

Interest expense, net

In the third quarter, net interest expense was $8.6 million compared to $10.6 million in the prior year third quarter. This reduction resulted from lower average borrowings during the quarter compared to the prior year and the favorable impact of lower average interest rates due to the debt refinancing during the third quarter of the current year. See Note 17 for additional information.

In the year to date period, net interest expense was $27.9 million compared to $28.9 million in the prior year. This reduction was primarily due to lower average borrowings during the year and higher interest income on cash balances year over year.

Other non-operating income

In the third quarter of Fiscal 2020, other non-operating income was $7.0 million compared to $0.3 million in the prior third quarter. The increase reflects a $6.7 million net gain related to the completion of the Company’s debt refinancing, which consists of an $8.7 million net gain on the early extinguishment of senior notes, partially offset by a $2.0 million write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the termination of the Company’s prior Credit Facility. See Note 17 for additional information.

Income taxes

In the third quarter of Fiscal 2020, the income tax benefit was $6.0 million, an effective tax rate (“ETR”) of 14.5%, compared to income tax benefit of $29.2 million, an ETR of 49.4% in the prior year comparable period. The current quarter ETR was primarily driven by pre-tax earnings mix by jurisdiction. The prior year tax benefit was primarily driven by: 1) restructuring charges related to the transformation plan; 2) a loss recognized in the U.S. associated with the write-down of the non-prime receivables; and 3) pre-tax earnings mix by jurisdiction.

In the year to date period of Fiscal 2020, the income tax benefit was $3.7 million, an ETR of 4.3%, compared to income tax benefit of $159.1 million, an ETR of 22.5% in the prior year comparable period. The ETR is driven by the anticipated annual mix of pre-tax income by jurisdiction and the unfavorable impact of non-tax deductible goodwill impairment recognized in the current year.

Operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $113.5 million compared to $313.5 million in the prior year comparable period.


•	Net loss was $81.6 million compared to net loss of $549.5 million in the prior year period, an increase of $467.9 million.


•	Non-cash goodwill and impairment charges were $47.7 million compared to $448.7 million in the prior year period, a decrease of $401.0 million. See Note 14 for additional information regarding the impairments recognized in each period.


•	Non-cash restructuring charges were $17.9 million compared to $80.2 million in the prior year period, a decrease of $62.3 million primarily due to the $63.2 million inventory charge recognized in the prior year.


•	Depreciation and amortization decreased $8.9 million to $129.5 million from $138.4 million in the prior year comparable period.

•

Cash provided by accounts receivable totaled $2.7 million compared to $55.1 million in the prior year comparable period. The decrease was primarily attributable to the outsourcing of the North America private label credit card program. See Note 11 for additional information regarding the outsourcing of this credit program and portfolio. Additionally, the prior year comparable period also included cash proceeds of $445.5 million from the sale of eligible non-prime in-house finance receivables as well as a non-cash loss of $160.4 million as a result of the credit transaction.

During the 39 weeks ended November 2, 2019, the payment plans participation rate was 51.5% compared to 52.5% in the prior year comparable period. These rates reflect activity for credit program customers in North America, including lease purchase customers. The decline in participation rate was driven primarily by a continued trend of lower credit applications. The Company completed its transition to an outsourced credit structure during the second quarter of Fiscal 2019.

•

Cash used for inventory was $133.0 million compared to cash used of $456.6 million in the prior year comparable period. Total inventory as of November 2, 2019 was $2.52 billion compared to the prior year comparable quarter balance of $2.65 billion, reflecting the Company’s strategy to exit low-priced owned branded beads and the disposition of slow-moving inventory partially offset by increased investments in bridal and certain fashion collections. Cash used for inventory decreased by $323.6 million from prior year primarily due to inventory management initiatives and liquidation of discontinued brands and collections.

During the 39 weeks ended November 2, 2019, the Company continued the process to liquidate the inventory of discontinued brands and collections identified as part of the Plan. The proceeds received by the Company for the items liquidated to date

approximated the net realizable value management estimated when recording the charge during the second quarter of Fiscal 2019. As of November 2, 2019, inventory representing $30.9 million of the restructuring charge recorded during the second quarter of Fiscal 2019 remains on hand.


•	Cash provided by accounts payable was $183.7 million compared to $106.5 million in the prior year comparable period primarily driven by timing of payments made in connection with inventory purchases in advance of the Holiday Season.


•	Cash used for accrued expenses and other liabilities was $30.5 million compared to $7.3 million in the prior year comparable period primarily driven by the timing of payments associated with payroll-related items including incentive compensation and advertising.


•	Cash used for income taxes was $7.6 million compared to cash provided from income taxes of $2.0 million in the prior year comparable period primarily attributable to higher state and foreign payments in the current year.

Forward-Flow Receivables Outsourcing Agreement with Investors

As discussed in Note 11, in conjunction with the sale of the majority of Signet’s non-prime in-house accounts receivable to CarVal and Castlelake (collectively, the “Investors”), beginning in June 2018, the Investors began purchasing the majority of forward flow receivables of Signet’s non-prime credit from Signet for a five-year term. As previously disclosed in our Form 8-K on March 12, 2018, the Investors will have a right to terminate the purchase of the forward flow receivables if the realized yield falls below an agreed upon threshold measured at certain contractual measurement dates. While the back book receivables continue to perform at or above the expected levels, and while Signet believes the forward flow receivables have a lifetime projected cumulative net yield that is in-line with the market rate expectations set forth in the agreement, Signet expects that on December 31, 2019, the next contractual measurement date, the realized yield for the forward flow receivables will temporarily be below the agreed upon threshold, which will technically give the Investors the right to terminate. Although there is no assurance that the Investors will not terminate the forward flow agreement on a go forward basis based on the short term realized yield at the December 31, 2019 measurement, the Investors have informed Signet that, subject to their reservation of rights, they do not intend to terminate the agreement on December 31, 2019. Signet further believes that the Investors are receiving an attractive return on their investment such that a termination by one or both of the Investors is unlikely.

This termination right will continue until at least June 30, 2020, the next subsequent contractual measurement date. The cumulative net yield is expected to rise throughout the spring and may exceed the agreed upon threshold by this date. This shortfall to the agreed upon cumulative net yield threshold, which is expected to be temporary, is primarily caused by vintages that were originated near the inception of the program experiencing higher than anticipated charge off rates and lower than anticipated collection rates. The underlying issues driving those suboptimal charge off and collection rates were addressed and the non-prime MDR was increased in the second half of fiscal 2020. Subsequent vintages, including all vintages sold in this fiscal year, are expected to perform above the agreed upon threshold.

This termination right has no impact on the sale of the non-prime in-house accounts receivable completed in June 2018 and only applies to future forward flow receivables on a go-forward basis, which represent approximately 7% of Signet’s annual revenue. If one but not both Investors terminate, the non-terminating Investor has the option to begin purchasing 100% of the forward flow receivables or some other percentage as negotiated between Signet and the non-terminating Investor. Even if the Investors were to terminate the forward flow agreement, Signet believes such termination will not have a material adverse impact on its financial condition or results of operations because other potential providers can supply a similar third-party credit program and alternative payment options such as leasing are also available.

Investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities in the 39 weeks ended November 2, 2019 was $99.9 million compared to $79.5 million. Cash used in each period was primarily for capital additions associated with new store and remodels of existing stores, as well as capital investments in IT.

Planned store count changes for Fiscal 2020:

During Fiscal 2020, Signet expects to close approximately 150 stores and open 35 stores, inclusive of store repositionings. The overall net reduction for the year is primarily driven by the Company’s initiatives under the transformation plan, and is focused on reducing the Company’s mall-based exposure and exiting regional brands.

Financing activities

Net cash used in financing activities in the 39 weeks ended November 2, 2019 was $15.5 million, comprised primarily of $81.4 million for dividend payments on common and preferred shares, partially offset by net borrowings of $72.2 million. See further information on debt movements below.

Net cash used in financing activities in the 39 weeks ended November 3, 2018 was $320.7 million, comprised primarily of $485.0 million for the repurchase of common shares, $83.2 million for dividend payments on common and preferred shares, and $32.4 million for the repayments of bank overdrafts and the term loan. Offsetting the cash used for the share repurchases and dividend payments was $282.0 million of net proceeds drawn on the revolving credit facility.

Movement in cash and indebtedness

Cash and cash equivalents at November 2, 2019 were $188.6 million compared to $130.7 million as of November 3, 2018. Signet has significant amounts of cash and cash equivalents invested in various ‘AAA’ rated liquidity funds and at a number of financial institutions. The amount invested in each liquidity fund or at each financial institution takes into account the credit rating and size of the liquidity fund or financial institution and is invested for short-term durations.

During the third quarter of Fiscal 2020, the Company completed a debt refinancing which included the termination of the Company’s previous Credit Facility and the settlement of a portion of its Senior Notes, as well as entering into a new five-year asset based lending facility, which consisted of a $1.5 billion ABL Revolving Credit Facility and $100.0 million FILO Term Loan Facility (collectively, the “ABL Facility”). Refer to Note 17 for further information regarding the debt refinancing activities.

At November 2, 2019, Signet had $795.5 million of outstanding debt, comprised of $147.5 million of senior unsecured notes, $543.0 million on the ABL Revolving Facility, $100.0 million on the FILO Term Loan Facility, and $5.0 million of bank overdrafts. During the 39 weeks ended November 2, 2019, the Company repaid $294.9 million and terminated the term loan under the prior Credit Facility, paid $240.9 million (including fees) to settle a portion of the Senior Notes, and reduced bank overdrafts by $35.0 million. Additionally, the Company borrowed $100.0 million on the FILO Term Loan Facility and had net borrowings of $543.0 million on the ABL Revolving Facility.

At November 3, 2018, Signet had $989.0 million of outstanding debt, comprised of $399.0 million of Senior Notes, $303.9 million on a term loan facility, $282.0 million on the revolving credit facility and $4.1 million of bank overdrafts. During the 39 weeks ended November 3, 2018, $22.3 million in principal payments were made on the term loan.

The Company had stand-by letters of credit outstanding of $15.5 million as of November 2, 2019 that reduces borrowing capacity under the ABL Revolving Facility. Available borrowings under the ABL Revolving Facility were $871.2 million as of November 2, 2019.

Table of Contents

Net debt was $605.2 million as of November 2, 2019 compared to $852.3 million as of November 3, 2018. Refer to the non-GAAP measures discussed above.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

Signet’s contractual obligations and commitments as of November 2, 2019 and the effects such obligations and commitments are expected to have on Signet’s liquidity and cash flows in future periods have not changed materially outside the ordinary course from those disclosed in Signet’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 2, 2019 filed with the SEC on April 3, 2019.

SEASONALITY

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP 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 financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its accounting policies, estimates and judgments, including those related to the valuation of accounts receivables, inventories, deferred revenue, derivatives, employee benefits, income taxes, contingencies, asset impairments, leases, indefinite-lived intangible assets, depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets, as well as accounting for business combinations. 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. Except for the adoption of the new lease accounting standard as disclosed in Note 13 to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1, 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 2, 2019 filed with the SEC on April 3, 2019.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Signet is exposed to market risk 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 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 certain of the International 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 also hedges a significant portion of forecasted merchandise purchases using commodity forward contracts. Additionally, the North America segment occasionally enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to manage the currency fluctuations associated with purchases for our Canadian operations. These contracts are entered into with large, reputable financial institutions, thereby minimizing the credit exposure from our counterparties.

Signet has significant amounts of cash and cash equivalents invested at several financial institutions. The amount invested 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 November 2, 2019 has not materially changed since February 2, 2019. The market risk profile as of February 2, 2019 is disclosed in Signet’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on April 3, 2019.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on this review, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of November 2, 2019.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the first quarter of Fiscal 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standard Update 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” The Company has designed and implemented new internal controls related to the recognition, measurement and disclosure of the Company's leases under Topic 842. There were no other changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the third quarter of Fiscal 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its 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 Financial Statements set forth in Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The information presented below updates the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, of Signet’s Fiscal 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on April 3, 2019 and should be read in conjunction with the risk factors and other information disclosed in our Fiscal 2019 Annual Report on Form 10‑K that could have a material effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

New tariffs, if imposed on goods that we import, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

In March 2018, the United States Government announced tariffs on certain steel and aluminum products imported into the United States, which resulted in reciprocal tariffs from the European Union on goods imported from the United States. In September 2018, the United States Government placed additional tariffs of approximately $200 billion on goods imported from China. These tariffs, which took effect on September 25, 2018, were initially set at a level of 10% until the end of 2018, at which point the tariffs rose to 25%. On September 1, 2019, the United States Government placed additional tariffs of approximately $300 billion on goods imported from China. Depending on the type of import, a new 15% tariff became effective on September 1, 2019, and additional duties may become effective on December 15, 2019. The 15% tariff which became effective on September 1, 2019 applies to jewelry that we import from China. China has already imposed tariffs on a wide range of American products in retaliation, and additional tariffs could be imposed by China in further retaliation. There is also a concern that the imposition of additional tariffs by the United States could result in the adoption of additional tariffs by other countries as well. The escalation of trade tensions could have a significant, adverse effect on world trade and the world economy. While we do not believe that the recently enacted tariffs will materially impact our business, the imposition of additional or increased tariffs on jewelry or other items imported by us from China could require us to increase prices to our customers or, if unable to do so, result in lowering our gross margin on products sold.
