NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Organization and principal accounting policies

Signet Jewelers Limited (“Signet” or the “Company”), a holding company incorporated in Bermuda, is the world’s largest retailer of diamond jewelry. The Company operates through its 100% owned subsidiaries with sales primarily in the United States (“US”), United Kingdom (“UK”) and Canada. Signet manages its business as three reportable segments: North America, International, and Other. The “Other” reportable segment consists of subsidiaries involved in the purchasing and conversion of rough diamonds to polished stones. See Note 4 for information regarding the Company’s reportable segments.

Basis of preparation

The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP” or “GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted from this report, as is permitted by such rules and regulations. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company has reclassified certain prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or for any other interim period. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in Signet’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2025 filed with the SEC on March 19, 2025.

Use of estimates

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

Fiscal year

The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest to January 31st. Fiscal 2026 and Fiscal 2025 refer to the 52-week periods ending January 31, 2026 and ended February 1, 2025, respectively. Within these condensed consolidated financial statements, the first quarter of the relevant fiscal years 2026 and 2025 refer to the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2025 and May 4, 2024, respectively.

Foreign currency translation

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

See Note 8 for additional information regarding the Company’s foreign currency translation.

2. New accounting pronouncements

The following section provides a description of new accounting pronouncements ("Accounting Standard Update" or "ASU") issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") that are applicable to the Company.

New accounting pronouncements recently adopted

There were no new accounting pronouncements adopted during Fiscal 2026 that have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Table of Contents

New accounting pronouncements issued but not yet adopted

Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”)

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09. This ASU modifies the annual disclosure requirements for income taxes in the following ways:

•The effective tax rate reconciliation must be disclosed using both percentages and dollars (currently only one is required). The reconciliation must contain several prescriptive categories, including disaggregating material impacts by nature and by jurisdiction. Qualitative information regarding material reconciling items is also required to be disclosed.

•The amount of income taxes paid must be disclosed and disaggregated by jurisdiction.

The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted, and may be applied on a prospective or retrospective basis. This ASU will have no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations. The Company is evaluating the impact of this ASU on its income tax disclosures.

Income Statement Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Topic 220-40) (“ASU 2024-03”)

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03. This ASU requires disclosure of additional information about certain income statement expense line items, such as cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”). Prescribed expense categories within each line item will be required to be disaggregated in tabular format. Prescribed expense categories include purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. Other material expense categories identified within each income statement expense line item may also require disclosure. Total selling expenses and a definition of selling expenses is required to be disclosed.

The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted, and may be applied on a prospective or retrospective basis. This ASU will have no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations. The Company is evaluating the impact of this ASU on its financial statement disclosures.

(1) Other primarily includes sales from the Company’s diamond sourcing operation and loose diamonds.

Extended service plans (“ESP”)

The Company recognizes revenue related to ESP sales in proportion to when the expected costs will be incurred. The deferral periods for ESP sales are determined from patterns of claims costs, including estimates of future claims costs expected to be incurred. Management reviews the trends in historical claims to assess whether changes are required to the revenue and cost recognition rates utilized. A significant change in either the overall claims pattern or the life over which the Company is expected to fulfill its obligations under the ESP, could result in a material change to revenues.

Deferred ESP selling costs

All direct costs associated with the sale of the ESP are deferred and amortized in proportion to the revenue recognized and disclosed as either other current assets or other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. These direct costs primarily include sales commissions and credit card fees. Amortization of deferred ESP selling costs is included within SG&A in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Amortization of deferred ESP selling costs was $11.5 million and $11.2 million during the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2025 and May 4, 2024, respectively.

Unamortized deferred ESP selling costs as of May 3, 2025, February 1, 2025 and May 4, 2024 were as follows:

4. Segment information

Signet’s chief executive officer (“CEO”) is the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The CODM regularly reviews segment sales and segment operating income, after the elimination of any inter-segment transactions, to determine resource allocations between segments. Signet’s sales are primarily derived from the retailing of jewelry, watches, services and other products as generated through the management of its segments. Segment operating income, which excludes the impact of certain items management believes are not necessarily reflective of normal operating performance, is utilized by the CODM to assess segment profitability. Segment operating income is used by the CODM to monitor and assess segment results compared to prior periods, forecasted results, and our annual operating plan.

The Company aggregates operating segments with similar economic and operating characteristics. Signet manages its business as three reportable segments: North America, International, and Other. The Company allocates certain support center costs between operating segments, and the remainder of the unallocated costs are included with the corporate and unallocated expenses presented.

The North America reportable segment operates across the US and Canada. Its US stores operate nationally in malls and off-mall locations, as well as online, principally as Kay (Kay Jewelers and Kay Outlet), Zales (Zales Jewelers and Zales Outlet), Jared (Jared Jewelers and Jared Vault), Diamonds Direct, Banter by Piercing Pagoda, Rocksbox, and Digital brands, James Allen and Blue Nile. Its Canadian stores operate as Peoples Jewellers.

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

The Other reportable segment primarily consists of subsidiaries involved in the purchasing and conversion of rough diamonds to polished stones.

5. Redeemable preferred shares

On October 5, 2016, the Company issued 625,000 redeemable Series A Convertible Preference Shares (the “Preferred Shares”) to Green Equity Investors VI, L.P. Green Equity Investors Side VI, L.P., LGP Associates VI-A LLC and LGP Associates VI-B LLC, all affiliates of Leonard Green & Partners, L.P., (together, the “Preferred Holders”), for an aggregate purchase price of $625.0 million, or $1,000 per share (the “Stated Value”) pursuant to the investment agreement dated August 24, 2016. The Preferred Shares were classified as temporary equity within the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

On March 30, 2024, Signet’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved amendments to the Certificate of Designation effective as of April 1, 2024, including to provide for net share settlement upon conversion of the Preferred Shares. Under the terms of the net share settlement, upon a conversion at the option of a Preferred Holder, in exchange for each Preferred Share, Signet was required to deliver cash for the stated value of the Preferred Shares and could elect to deliver any net settlement amount in excess of stated value in cash, shares or a combination of cash and shares. The stated value of the Preferred Shares as of the date of the amendment was $1,050.94 per share. The amended Certificate of Designation also included certain restrictions on the Preferred Holders’ rights to convert the Preferred Shares prior to November 15, 2024. No other modifications to the terms of the Certificate of Designation were made.

On April 1, 2024, following the effectiveness of the amended Certificate of Designation, the Preferred Holders delivered notice to the Company of a conversion of 312,500 Preferred Shares (in the aggregate). In accordance with the terms of the amended Certificate of Designation, the conversion was settled in cash by the Company for $414.1 million on April 15, 2024, which included $2.1 million of accrued and unpaid dividends as of the date of conversion. The excess of the settlement amount (excluding dividends) over the stated value of the Preferred Shares was $83.6 million, which was recorded as a deemed dividend and a charge to net income (loss)

Table of Contents

attributable to common shareholders in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Company also incurred $1.6 million of expenses directly related to the redemption and recorded this as an additional deemed dividend charged to net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders, of which $0.9 million was included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of May 4, 2024.

During the second and third quarters of Fiscal 2025, the Preferred Holders elected to convert the additional 312,500 Preferred Shares, with the final conversion occurring on October 8, 2024. Upon notice of conversions, the Company elected to settle each of the full conversion amounts in cash totaling $401.5 million. The excess of the aggregate settlement amounts over the stated value of the converted Preferred Shares was $71.8 million and was recorded as a direct reduction to additional paid-in capital in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Upon the final conversion, the Company has satisfied all requirements under the Certificate of Designation.

In connection with the issuance of the Preferred Shares, the Company incurred direct and incremental expenses of $13.7 million, including financial advisory fees, closing costs, legal expenses and other offering-related expenses. These direct and incremental expenses originally reduced the carrying value of the Preferred Shares and were accreted through retained earnings as a deemed dividend from the date of issuance through the then first possible known redemption date in November 2024. Accumulated accretion recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of May 4, 2024 was $13.2 million. Upon final conversion, all direct and incremental expenses have been fully accreted.

Accretion of $0.9 million was recorded to Preferred Shares in the condensed consolidated balance sheets during the 13 weeks ended May 4, 2024.

6. Shareholders’ equity

Dividends on common shares

Dividends declared on the common shares during the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2025 and May 4, 2024 were as follows:


	Fiscal 2026				Fiscal 2025
(in millions, except per share amounts)	Dividends per share		Total dividends		Dividends per share		Total dividends
First quarter (1)	$	0.32	$	13.4	$	0.29	$	12.9

(1) Signet’s dividend policy results in the dividend payment date being a quarter in arrears from the declaration date. As of May 3, 2025 and May 4, 2024, there was $13.4 million and $12.9 million recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets reflecting the cash dividends declared for the first quarter of Fiscal 2026 and Fiscal 2025, respectively.

Dividends on Preferred Shares

Dividends declared on the Preferred Shares during the 13 weeks ended May 4, 2024 were as follows:


	Fiscal 2025
(in millions, except per share amounts)		Dividends per share		Total dividends (2)
First quarter (1)		$	13.14	$	6.2

(1) Signet’s dividend policy resulted in the Preferred Share dividend payment date being a quarter in arrears from the declaration date. As a result, as of May 4, 2024, $4.1 million was recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets reflecting the dividends on Preferred Shares declared for the first quarter of Fiscal 2025.

(2) Dividends on the Preferred Shares during the first quarter of Fiscal 2025 included $2.1 million of accrued dividends paid in connection with the redemption further described in Note 5.

Share repurchases

Signet may from time to time repurchase common shares under various share repurchase programs authorized by Signet’s Board. Repurchases may be made in the open market through 10b5-1 trading plans, through block trades, through accelerated share repurchase agreements or otherwise. The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases will be determined by the Company at its discretion and will be subject to economic and market conditions, stock prices, applicable legal requirements and other factors. The repurchase programs are funded through Signet’s existing cash reserves and liquidity sources. Repurchased shares are held as treasury shares and used by Signet primarily for issuance of share-based compensation awards, or for general corporate purposes.

The Board authorized repurchases to be made under the 2017 Share Repurchase Program (the “2017 Program”). During Fiscal 2025, the Board authorized an increase in the remaining amount of shares authorized for repurchase under the 2017 Program by $200.0 million, bringing the total authorization to approximately $2.1 billion, with $723.0 million remaining as of February 1, 2025. Since inception of the 2017 Program, the Company has repurchased approximately $1.5 billion of shares, with $605.6 million of shares authorized for repurchase remaining as of May 3, 2025.

Table of Contents

The share repurchase activity during the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2025 and May 4, 2024 was as follows:


	13 weeks ended May 3, 2025					13 weeks ended May 4, 2024
(in millions, except per share amounts)	Shares repurchased	Amount repurchased (1)		Average repurchase price per share (1)		Shares repurchased	Amount repurchased (1)		Average repurchase price per share (1)

(1) Includes amounts paid for commissions.

7. 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 for the periods presented is outlined in the table below:


	13 weeks ended
(in millions, except per share amounts)	May 3, 2025		May 4, 2024
Numerator:
Net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders	$	33.5	$	(40.1)
Denominator:
Weighted average common shares outstanding	42.5		44.6
EPS – basic	$	0.79	$	(0.90)

The dilutive effect of share awards represents the potential impact of outstanding awards issued under the Company’s share-based compensation plans, including time-based restricted shares, time-based restricted stock units, performance-based restricted stock units, and stock options issued under the Omnibus Plan and stock options issued under the Share Saving Plans. The dilutive effect of performance-based restricted stock units represents the number of contingently issuable shares that would be issuable if the end of the period was the end of the contingency period and is based on the actual achievement of performance metrics through the end of the current interim periods. The dilutive effect of the Preferred Shares, prior to their retirement, represented the potential impact for common shares that would be issued upon conversion. Potential common share dilution related to share awards and Preferred Shares is determined using the treasury stock and if-converted methods, respectively. Prior to modifications of the Preferred Shares described in Note 5, under the if-converted method, the Preferred Shares were assumed to be converted at the beginning of the period, and the resulting common shares are included in the denominator of the diluted EPS calculation for the entire period being presented, only in the periods in which such effect is dilutive. Following the modifications, for any conversions, the denominator includes the weighted average of the potential common shares for the period that the related Preferred Shares were outstanding prior to such conversion. Additionally, in periods in which the Preferred Shares were dilutive, cumulative dividends and accretion for issuance costs associated with the Preferred Shares were added back to net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders. Following the modifications, a modified if-converted method was used to determine potential common share dilution related to the remaining outstanding Preferred Shares. Under this method, dividends and accretion of issuance costs were no longer added back to net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders. See Note 5 for additional discussion of the Company’s Preferred Shares.

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


	13 weeks ended
(in millions, except per share amounts)	May 3, 2025		May 4, 2024
Numerator:
Net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders	$	33.5	$	(40.1)


Denominator:
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding	42.5		44.6
Plus: Dilutive effect of share awards	0.2		—

Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding	42.7		44.6
EPS – diluted	$	0.78	$	(0.90)

Estimated annual effective tax rate before discrete items	22.3	%	17.4	%
Discrete items recognized	4.2	%	(6.3)	%
Effective tax rate recognized in statements of operations	26.5	%	11.1	%

Signet was not subject to income tax in Bermuda prior to Fiscal 2026. On December 27, 2023, Bermuda enacted a 15% corporate income tax that was effective for the Company beginning with Fiscal 2026.

During the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2025, the Company’s effective tax rate was higher than the Bermuda corporate income tax rate, primarily as a result of the unfavorable impact of foreign rate differences (primarily in the US) and unfavorable discrete tax items recognized in the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2025, including the tax shortfall for share-based compensation which vested during the year of $0.8 million.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the same period during the prior year was lower than the US federal corporate income tax rate, primarily as a result of the favorable impact of foreign rate differences and benefits from global reinsurance arrangements, as well as the discrete tax benefits related to the excess tax benefit for share-based compensation which vested during the quarter of $4.7 million.

As of May 3, 2025, there has been no material change in the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits, or the related accrued interest and penalties (where appropriate), in respect of uncertain tax positions identified and recorded as of February 1, 2025.

12. Goodwill and intangibles

The following summarizes the activity of the Company’s goodwill and intangible assets during the periods presented:

Fiscal 2025

During the 13 weeks ended May 4, 2024, the Company completed its quarterly triggering event assessment and determined that no triggering events had occurred in the first quarter of Fiscal 2025 requiring an interim impairment assessment for any reporting units with goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets.

Fiscal 2026

During the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2025, the Company completed its quarterly triggering event assessment and determined that no triggering events had occurred in the first quarter of Fiscal 2026 requiring an interim impairment assessment for any reporting units with goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets.

Management noted uncertainties exist related to the post-election macroeconomic environment in the US and abroad, including tariffs, economic and tax policy, inflation and interest rates. These factors could unfavorably impact consumer confidence and discretionary spending, and thus may impact the key assumptions used to estimate fair value, such as sales trends, margin trends, long-term growth rates and discount rates. These factors could also negatively affect the share price of the Company’s common stock. An increase in the discount rate and/or a further softening of sales and operating income trends for any of the Company’s reporting units and related trade names, particularly during peak selling seasons, could result in a decline in the estimated fair values of the indefinite-lived intangible assets, including goodwill, which could result in future material impairment charges, particularly for Diamonds Direct and Digital brands.

Goodwill

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


(in millions)	North America




Balance at February 1, 2025 (1)	$	482.0



Balance at May 3, 2025 (1)	$	482.0

(1) The carrying amount of goodwill is presented net of accumulated impairment losses of $848.5 million as of May 3, 2025 and February 1, 2025, respectively.

Intangibles

Definite-lived and indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of trade names and are recorded within intangible assets, net, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Intangible liabilities, net consists of unfavorable contracts and is recorded within accrued expenses and other current liabilities and other liabilities - non-current on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Table of Contents

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


	May 3, 2025						February 1, 2025						May 4, 2024
(in millions)	Gross carrying amount		Accumulated amortization		Net carrying amount		Gross carrying amount		Accumulated amortization		Net carrying amount		Gross carrying amount		Accumulated amortization		Net carrying amount
Intangible assets, net:
Definite-lived intangible assets	$	8.8	$	(6.1)	$	2.7	$	11.2	$	(8.4)	$	2.8	$	11.2	$	(7.9)	$	3.3
Indefinite-lived intangible assets (1)	304.9		—		304.9		304.4		—		304.4		398.9		—		398.9
Total intangible assets, net	$	313.7	$	(6.1)	$	307.6	$	315.6	$	(8.4)	$	307.2	$	410.1	$	(7.9)	$	402.2

Intangible liabilities, net	$	(38.0)	$	36.7	$	(1.3)	$	(38.0)	$	36.2	$	(1.8)	$	(38.0)	$	34.9	$	(3.1)

(1) The change in the indefinite-lived intangible asset balances during the periods presented was primarily due to the trade name impairment charges recorded in the second and fourth quarters of Fiscal 2025.

13. Derivatives

Derivative transactions are used by Signet for risk management purposes to address risks inherent in the Company’s business operations and sources of financing. The only risk that the Company is currently utilizing financial derivatives to mitigate is foreign currency risk. Signet does not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes.

The following types of derivative financial instruments are utilized by the Company to mitigate certain risk exposures related to changes in foreign exchange rates:

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts (designated) — These contracts, which are principally in US dollars, are entered into to limit the impact of movements in foreign exchange rates on forecasted foreign currency purchases. The total notional amount of these foreign currency contracts outstanding as of May 3, 2025 was $11.4 million (February 1, 2025 and May 4, 2024: $13.3 million and $9.5 million, respectively). These contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges and will be settled over the next 11 months (February 1, 2025 and May 4, 2024: 11 months and 12 months, respectively). The fair value of outstanding contracts as well as related activity were not material for the periods presented.

There were no discontinued cash flow hedges during the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2025 and May 4, 2024 as all forecasted transactions are expected to occur as originally planned. As of May 3, 2025, based on current valuations, the Company expects approximately $0.4 million of net pre-tax derivative losses to be reclassified out of AOCI into earnings within the next 12 months.

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts (undesignated) — Foreign currency contracts not designated as cash flow hedges are used to limit the impact of movements in foreign exchange rates on recognized foreign currency payables and to hedge currency flows through Signet’s bank accounts to mitigate Signet’s exposure to foreign currency exchange risk in its cash and borrowings. The total notional amount of these foreign currency contracts outstanding as of May 3, 2025 was $114.3 million (February 1, 2025 and May 4, 2024: $86.6 million and $69.4 million, respectively).

The Company recognizes activity related to these derivative instruments within other operating expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Gains were $5.2 million and losses were $1.5 million during the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2025 and May 4, 2024, respectively.

The bank counterparties to the derivative instruments expose the Company to credit-related losses in the event of their non-performance. However, to mitigate that risk, the Company only contracts with counterparties that meet certain minimum requirements under its counterparty risk assessment process. As of May 3, 2025, the Company believes that this credit risk did not materially change the fair value of the foreign currency contracts.

14. Fair value measurement

The estimated fair value of Signet’s financial instruments held or issued to finance the Company’s operations is summarized below. Certain estimates and judgments were required to develop the fair value amounts. The fair value amounts shown below are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company would realize upon disposition nor do they indicate Signet’s intent or ability to dispose of the financial instrument. Assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value are required to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1—quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities

Level 2—observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data

Level 3—unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data

Table of Contents

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


	May 3, 2025						February 1, 2025						May 4, 2024

Investments in US Treasury securities are based on quoted market prices for identical instruments in active markets, and therefore were classified as Level 1 measurements in the fair value hierarchy. Investments in US government agency securities and corporate bonds and notes are based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, and therefore were classified as Level 2 measurements in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of derivative financial instruments has been determined based on market value equivalents on the balance sheet dates, taking into account the current interest rate environment and foreign currency forward rates, and therefore were classified as Level 2 measurements in the fair value hierarchy. See Note 13 for additional information related to the Company’s derivatives.

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

The fair value of the Senior Notes (as defined in Note 15) was determined using quoted market prices in inactive markets based upon current observable market interest rates and therefore were classified as Level 2 measurements in the fair value hierarchy. The following table provides a summary of the carrying amount and fair value of outstanding debt:

Senior unsecured notes due 2024

On May 19, 2014, Signet UK Finance plc (“Signet UK Finance”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, issued $400 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.70% senior unsecured notes due in June 2024 (the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes were jointly and severally guaranteed, on a full and unconditional basis, by the Company and by certain of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries. On September 5, 2019, Signet UK Finance announced the commencement of a tender offer to purchase any and all of its outstanding Senior Notes (the “Tender Offer”). Signet UK Finance tendered $239.6 million of the Senior Notes, representing a purchase price of $950.00 per $1,000.00 in principal, leaving $147.8 million of the Senior Notes outstanding after the Tender Offer.

The Company fully repaid the Senior Notes upon maturity during the second quarter of Fiscal 2025.

Asset-based credit facility

On September 27, 2019, the Company entered into a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility in an aggregate committed amount of $1.5 billion (the “ABL”). The Company has the option to increase the size of the ABL by up to an additional $600 million. On August 23, 2024, the Company entered into the Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”) to amend the ABL. The Fourth Amendment extended the maturity of the ABL from July 28, 2026 to August 23, 2029, and reduced the ABL aggregate commitment to $1.2 billion. In addition, the Fourth Amendment expands the assets counted in the calculation of the borrowing base applicable to the ABL to include all specified assets of borrower and guarantor entities. The Company incurred additional debt issuance costs of $4.3 million relating to the Fourth Amendment of the ABL during Fiscal 2025.

The Company had no outstanding borrowings on the ABL for the periods presented and its available borrowing capacity was $1.1 billion as of May 3, 2025.

16. Warranty reserve

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

18. Restructuring

Grow Brand Love Plan

During the first quarter of Fiscal 2026, the Company announced its new corporate strategy, Grow Brand Love. In connection with this strategic transformation, the Company has reorganized its brand structure and certain functional areas primarily within its North America reportable segment, and the Company is optimizing its store fleet by exiting underperforming stores and repositioning stores from declining venues (the “Plan”). As a result of the Plan, the Company expects to incur severance and other employee-related costs, contract termination costs, and store closure costs.

During the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2025, the Company recorded charges related to the Plan of $22.2 million, consisting of the following: $18.2 million for severance and other employee-related costs; $0.8 million for store closure costs; and $3.2 million related to asset impairments. These costs are recorded within other operating expense, net within the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of May 3, 2025, the Company has $18.2 million of accrued restructuring charges related to the Plan, which are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Total estimated costs related to the Plan are expected to range from $30 million to $45 million, including $10 million to $15 million of estimated non-cash charges primarily for asset disposals and impairments. The Company expects the Plan will be substantially completed by the end of Fiscal 2026, except the store fleet optimization which is expected to be executed over the next two to three years.

Fiscal 2024 Reorganization Plan

During the second quarter of Fiscal 2024, the Company initiated a plan to rationalize its store footprint across the Company, as well as to reorganize certain centralized functions within its North America and UK support centers (collectively, the “Fiscal 2024 Plan”). During the first quarter of Fiscal 2025, as a result of the continued strategic review of the UK business, the Company expanded the Fiscal 2024 Plan in order to further redesign the operating model of the UK business aimed at improving profitability, with margins in line with the rest of the business within the next three years. The store footprint reduction included the closure of approximately 150 underperforming stores across both the North America and International reportable segments through the end of Fiscal 2025 and resulted in costs primarily for severance and asset disposals or impairment. The reorganization of certain support functions included the elimination of certain roles resulting in expenses primarily related to severance and other employee-related costs. Restructuring activities related to the Fiscal 2024 Plan were substantially completed in Fiscal 2025.

During the 13 weeks ended May 4, 2024, the Company recorded charges related to the Fiscal 2024 Plan of $6.5 million, consisting of the following: $2.2 million for employee-related costs; $2.4 million for store closure costs; and $1.9 million related to asset impairments. These costs are recorded within other operating expense, net within the condensed consolidated statements of operations. There are no significant liabilities related to the Fiscal 2024 Plan remaining as of May 3, 2025.

Cumulative costs related to the Fiscal 2024 Plan were $25.5 million, consisting of the following: $11.8 million for employee-related costs; $6.7 million for store closure costs; and $7.0 million related to asset impairments.

19. Supplier finance program

The Company entered into a supplier finance program during Fiscal 2024. Under this program, a financial intermediary acts as the Company’s paying agent with respect to accounts payable due to certain suppliers. The Company agrees to pay the financial intermediary the stated amount of the confirmed invoices from the designated suppliers on the original maturity dates of the invoices. The supplier finance program enables Company suppliers to be paid by the financial intermediary earlier than the due date on the applicable invoice. The Company negotiates payment terms directly with its suppliers for the purchase of goods and services. No guarantees or collateral are provided by the Company under the supplier finance program. As of May 3, 2025, the Company had $8.6 million of confirmed invoices outstanding under the supplier finance program (February 1, 2025 and May 4, 2024: $12.9 million and $17.9 million, respectively). All activity related to the supplier finance program is included in accounts payable in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and within operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

20. Commitments and contingencies

Legal proceedings

The Company is routinely a party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. These legal proceedings primarily include employment-related and commercial claims. The Company does not believe that the outcome of any such legal proceedings pending against the Company would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

Grow Brand Love strategy

In Fiscal 2026, the Company launched its Grow Brand Love strategy. This transformative strategy focuses on driving sustainable growth and builds on a strong core foundation to create shareholder value. In addition, this strategy emphasizes style and product innovation, captivating experiences, and brand loyalty while harnessing centralized core capabilities. The Company has identified three strategic imperatives as part of the Grow Brand Love framework: shifting from banners to brand mindset; growing our core business and expanding into adjacent categories; and organizational realignment to accelerate strategy execution. The Grow Brand Love strategy is further described in the Purpose and Strategy section within Item 1 of Signet’s Fiscal 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 19, 2025.

Overall performance - First quarter Fiscal 2026

Signet’s sales increased by 2.0% during the first quarter of Fiscal 2026 compared to the same period in Fiscal 2025. During the first quarter, the Company saw positive same stores sales growth of 2.5% driven by increased merchandise average unit retail (“AUR”) in both bridal and fashion, unit growth in engagements, closing gaps in key price points and expanding our assortment. This overall year over year improvement was softened by an approximate 140 basis point drag from underperformance in the James Allen brand in the first quarter. During the first quarter of Fiscal 2026, AUR increased by 8.9% in the North America reportable segment and 2.8% in the International reportable segment compared to the first quarter of Fiscal 2025. AUR in North America was bolstered by a focus on key price points in both bridal and fashion, as noted above, specifically in our Kay, Zales and Jared brands. Same store sales in the International reportable segment were up 4.5% in the first quarter.

Refer to the “Results of Operations” section below for additional information on performance during the first quarter of Fiscal 2026.

Table of Contents

Fiscal 2026 Outlook

The Company anticipates same store sales to be down 2.0% to up 1.5% for Fiscal 2026 providing for some variability in an uncertain consumer spending environment. The Company believes it can continue the first quarter trends on fashion and bridal at key price points and expand margins as our assortment and promotional flexibility should more than offset impacts from existing tariffs. The Company believes that under its new Grow Brand Love strategy it can deliver long term sustainable growth by better aligning our brands to their unique customer expectations, as well as offering a balanced assortment in both bridal and fashion. In addition, concentrating on our three largest brands - Kay, Zales and Jared - creates the most meaningful impact on growth, most immediately through assortment architecture, promotion management, and maximizing the investments in our e-commerce channel.

The Company continues to evaluate the impacts of certain macroeconomic factors on its business, such as tariffs, inflation and the Russia-Ukraine and Middle East conflicts. The Company is closely monitoring ongoing activities related to changes to US economic policy, including potential impacts from both taxes and tariffs. Signet looks to navigate tariffs through a combination of vendor negotiations, value engineering of new merchandise to avoid retail increases where possible, as well as promotion and lifecycle management. As previously discussed, Signet operates quality control and technology centers in Israel, and to date, these operations have not been impacted by the geopolitical conflict in the Middle East. While the Company currently does not expect disruptions to its operations in Israel to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, the Company will continue to closely monitor this conflict and any impacts on its business, as well as its team members in Israel. Uncertainties exist that could impact the Company’s results of operations or cash flows in the future, such as competitive pricing pressure, including lab-grown diamonds, continued inflationary impacts to the Company (including, but not limited to, materials, labor, fulfillment and advertising costs), adverse shifts in consumer discretionary spending, slower than anticipated recovery of engagements, deterioration of consumer credit, supply chain disruptions to the Company’s business, the Company’s ability to recruit and retain qualified team members, and organized retail crime and its impact to mall traffic. See “Forward-Looking Statements” above as well as the “Risk Factors” section within Item 1A of Signet’s Fiscal 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

First quarter sales

Signet's total sales increased 2.0% year over year to $1.54 billion in the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2025. Same store sales increased 2.5%, compared to a decrease of 8.9% in the prior year quarter. These increases were primarily from closing merchandise assortment gaps at key gifting price points both in fashion and in bridal, as well as increased AUR in both categories, however were softened by an approximate 140 basis point drag from underperformance in the James Allen brand in the first quarter.

E-commerce sales in the first quarter of Fiscal 2026 were $338.7 million, up $0.8 million or 0.2%, compared to $337.9 million in the prior year first quarter. E-commerce sales accounted for 22.0% of first quarter sales, a slight decrease compared to 22.4% of total sales in the prior year first quarter. Brick and mortar same store sales increased 2.9% from the prior year first quarter.

The breakdown of the first quarter sales performance by reportable segment is set out in the table below:


	Change from previous year

The effect from foreign currency, calculated on a constant currency basis, is determined by applying current year average exchange rates to prior year sales in local currency.

(2) Includes sales from Signet’s diamond sourcing operation.

As described above, AUR is an additional operating metric defined as merchandise sales divided by merchandise units. AUR is measured each period based on reported sales for the corresponding period presented.

North America sales

The North America reportable segment’s total sales were $1.45 billion compared to $1.42 billion in the prior year quarter, or an increase of 2.1%. This increase was primarily from closing merchandise assortment gaps at key gifting price points both in fashion and in bridal, as well as increased AUR in fashion. This increase was softened by the underperformance of the James Allen brand noted above. The number of units sold decreased 6.6% year over year. Same store sales increased 2.3% compared to a decrease of 9.2% in the prior year quarter.

Table of Contents

International sales

The International reportable segment’s total sales increased 3.8%, or 1.5% at constant exchange rates, to $80.1 million compared to $77.2 million in the prior year quarter. The number of units sold decreased 1.1% and AUR increased 2.8% year over year. Same store sales increased 4.5% compared to a decrease of 3.2% in the prior year quarter. The total reported sales increase was slightly lower than same store sales due to store closures.

Gross margin

In the first quarter of Fiscal 2026, gross margin was $598.8 million or 38.8% of sales compared to $572.4 million or 37.9% of sales in the prior year quarter. Gross margin in total dollars and as a percentage of sales increased compared to the prior year quarter reflecting merchandise margin expansion driven by higher AUR in both fashion and bridal, as discussed above, and a balanced promotional strategy, as well as leveraging of fixed costs such as occupancy.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”)

In the first quarter of Fiscal 2026, SG&A was $526.0 million or 34.1% of sales compared to $515.4 million or 34.1% of sales in the prior year quarter. The increase in SG&A compared to the prior year quarter was primarily driven by increases in store payroll and marketing expenses.

Other operating expense, net

In the first quarter of Fiscal 2026, other operating expense was $24.7 million, compared to $7.2 million in the prior year quarter. The 13 weeks ended May 3, 2025 primarily included restructuring and asset impairment charges of $22.2 million related to the actions under the Company’s new corporate strategy, Grow Brand Love. The 13 weeks ended May 4, 2024 primarily included restructuring and asset impairment charges of $7.0 million. See Note 17 and Note 18 for additional information.

Operating income

For the first quarter of Fiscal 2026, operating income was $48.1 million, or 3.1% of sales, compared to operating income of $49.8 million or 3.3% of sales in the prior year quarter. The decrease in operating income for the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2025 was primarily driven by restructuring costs, partially offset by stronger sales performance and gross margin as described above.

In the first quarter, operating income in the North America reportable segment was $83.0 million, or 5.7% of segment sales, and includes $10.9 million of restructuring charges and $3.2 million of asset impairment charges primarily related to long-lived assets. In the prior year quarter, operating income in the North America reportable segment was $83.2 million, or 5.9% of segment sales, and included $2.0 million of asset impairment charges primarily related to planned store closures and $0.6 million of restructuring charges.

International operating income

In the first quarter, operating loss in the International reportable segment was $7.0 million, or (8.7)% of segment sales. In the prior year quarter, operating loss in the International reportable segment was $13.0 million, or (16.8)% of segment sales, and included $4.0 million of restructuring charges and $1.3 million of net losses from the previously announced divestiture of the UK prestige watch business.

Corporate and unallocated expenses

In the first quarter, corporate and unallocated expenses were $24.0 million and includes $8.1 million of restructuring charges. In the prior year quarter, corporate and unallocated expenses were $17.3 million.

Interest income, net

For the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2025, net interest income was $0.8 million, compared to $8.6 million in the 13 weeks ended May 4, 2024. The decrease in the current year quarter was the result of lower cash balances earning interest as compared with the prior year quarter, primarily due to cash used over the past year related to the Preferred Shares retirement, repayment of the Senior Notes and common share repurchases.

Income taxes

In the first quarter of Fiscal 2026, income tax expense was $12.1 million, with an effective tax rate (“ETR”) of 26.5%, compared to income tax expense of $6.5 million, with an ETR of 11.1%, in the prior year comparable period. Signet was not subject to income tax in Bermuda prior to Fiscal 2026. On December 27, 2023, Bermuda enacted a 15% corporate income tax that was effective for the Company beginning with Fiscal 2026. The ETR for the first quarter of Fiscal 2026 was higher than the Bermuda income tax rate, primarily as a result of the unfavorable impact of foreign rate differences (primarily in the US) and unfavorable discrete tax items recognized in the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2025, including the tax shortfall for share-based compensation which vested during the year of $0.8 million.

Table of Contents

The ETR for the first quarter of Fiscal 2025 was lower than the US federal income tax rate, primarily due to the favorable impact of foreign rate differences and benefits from global reinsurance arrangements, as well as the discrete tax benefit related to share-based compensation which vested during the prior year quarter of $4.7 million.

NON-GAAP MEASURES

The discussion and analysis of Signet’s results of operations, financial condition and liquidity contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are based upon the condensed consolidated financial statements of Signet which are prepared in accordance with GAAP and should be read in conjunction with Signet’s condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in Item 1. Signet provides certain non-GAAP information in reporting its financial results to give investors additional data to evaluate its operations. The Company believes that non-GAAP financial measures, when reviewed in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, can provide more information to assist investors in evaluating historical trends and current period performance and liquidity. For these reasons, internal management reporting also includes these non-GAAP measures.

These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not superior to or as a substitute for the GAAP financial measures presented in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and other publicly filed reports. In addition, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as or comparable to similar non-GAAP measures presented by other companies.

1. Net cash

Net cash is a non-GAAP measure defined as the total of cash and cash equivalents less debt. Management considers this metric to be helpful to understand the total indebtedness of the Company after consideration of cash balances on-hand.


(in millions)	May 3, 2025		February 1, 2025		May 4, 2024
Cash and cash equivalents	$	264.1	$	604.0	$	729.3

Net cash	$	264.1	$	604.0	$	581.5

2. Free cash flow

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

Capital expenditures	(36.6)		(23.3)
Free cash flow	$	(211.9)	$	(181.5)

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

EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure defined as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is an important indicator of operating performance as it excludes the effects of financing and investing activities by eliminating the effects of interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization costs. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure, defined as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense, non-operating expense, net and certain non-GAAP accounting adjustments. Reviewed in conjunction with net income and operating income, management believes that EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA help enhance management’s and investors’ ability to evaluate and analyze trends regarding Signet’s business and performance based on its current operations. These measures are also inputs into the Company’s leverage ratios, which are non-GAAP measures disclosed periodically in investor materials and other Company filings with the SEC, including annually in the Company’s Form 10-K.

4. Adjusted operating income and adjusted operating margin

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

5. Adjusted diluted EPS

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

(3) As described in Note 5, the Company recorded a deemed dividend to net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders of $85.2 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2025, which represents the excess of the conversion value of the Preferred Shares over their carrying value upon redemption and includes $1.6 million of related expenses.

(4) Adjusted diluted EPS for the 13 weeks ended May 4, 2024 was calculated using 48.0 million diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. The additional dilutive shares were excluded from the calculation of GAAP diluted EPS as their effect was antidilutive. Refer to Note 7 for additional information.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview

The Company’s primary sources of liquidity are cash on hand, cash provided by operations and availability under its senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL”). As of May 3, 2025, the Company had $264.1 million of cash and cash equivalents and no outstanding borrowings on the ABL. The available borrowing capacity on the ABL was $1.1 billion as of May 3, 2025.

The Company maintains a disciplined approach to capital allocation, utilizing the following priorities: 1) Invest in organic growth; 2) maintain conservative balance sheet, including an adjusted leverage ratio (a non-GAAP measure as defined in Item 7 of the Signet’s Fiscal 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K) of at or below our stated goal; and 3) return capital to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends.

Invest in organic growth

The strategic imperatives of the Company’s Grow Brand Love transformation strategy have been designed to accelerate growth by building on a strong core foundation to create shareholder value. The Company will focus on increasing market share in core areas such as Bridal, while expanding into categories like self-purchase and gifting. In order to achieve these goals, the Company is in the process of restructuring to streamline operations, increase efficiencies, improve accountability and reduce costs. Streamlining the organization is expected to enable our new go-to-market strategies and contribute towards our efforts to strengthen our brand portfolio. We are also optimizing our real estate footprint to support the positioning of our brands and modernizing our stores through capital improvements. The Company invested $153.0 million for capital expenditures in Fiscal 2025 and has planned for capital expenditures of up to $160 million in Fiscal 2026, reflecting primarily investments in new stores and renovations, as well as additional digital and technology advancements.

Maintain conservative balance sheet

The Company has no outstanding debt after fully repaying the Senior Notes at maturity in the second quarter of Fiscal 2025 using cash on hand. In addition, in Fiscal 2025, the Company completed the extension of the ABL to August 2029 at substantially the same terms, as further described in Note 15. In connection with this extension, the ABL aggregate commitment was reduced to $1.2 billion to better align with our reduced inventory base over the past few years, as well as provide cost savings on unused commitment fees.

On April 1, 2024, in accordance with the terms of the amended Certificate of Designation for the Preferred Shares, the Preferred Holders converted half of the then outstanding Preferred Shares and the Company elected to settle such conversions in cash totaling

Table of Contents

$414.1 million, including accrued and unpaid dividends. During the second and third quarters of Fiscal 2025, the Preferred Holders converted all of the remaining Preferred Shares, and the Company elected to settle all the remaining Preferred Shares in cash totaling $401.5 million. The ability of the Company to settle the Preferred Shares in cash highlights the effectiveness of the Company’s flexible operating model and working capital efficiency, which has generated significant free cash flow and liquidity over the past few years. Refer to Note 5 for additional information.

The Company uses leverage ratios to assess the effectiveness of its capital allocation strategy. The Company maintained a 1.1x adjusted leverage ratio through the end of Fiscal 2025 (see non-GAAP measures as defined in Item 7 of the Signet’s Fiscal 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K). During Fiscal 2025, the Company reduced its adjusted leverage ratio goal from 2.5x or less to 1.75x or less to reflect the retirement of all funded debt in Fiscal 2025, capital allocation strategies, and replacing the operating lease adjustment within the calculation with lease liabilities from the previous 5x rent adjustment. The Company continues to be confident in its ability to generate free cash flow while maintaining this leverage ratio target.

Returning capital to shareholders

The Company remains committed to its goal of returning cash to shareholders, which includes being a dividend growth company. For the fourth year in a row, Signet has increased its quarterly common dividend from $0.29 per share in Fiscal 2025 to $0.32 per share beginning in Fiscal 2026. The Company also remains focused on common share repurchases under its 2017 Program. In March 2024, the Board approved a further $200 million increase to the multi-year authorization under the 2017 Program. The Company repurchased $117.4 million of common shares during the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2025 with $605.6 million of shares authorized for repurchase remaining as of May 3, 2025. See Note 6 for additional information related to the common share repurchases.

The Company believes that cash on hand, cash flows from operations and available borrowings under the ABL will be sufficient to meet its ongoing business requirements for at least the 12 months following the date of this report, including funding working capital needs, projected investments in the business (including capital expenditures), and returns to shareholders through dividends and common share repurchases.

Primary sources and uses of operating cash flows

Operating activities provide the primary source of cash for the Company and are influenced by a number of factors, the most significant of which are operating income and changes in working capital items, such as:

•changes in the level of inventory as a result of sales and other strategic initiatives; and

•changes and timing of accounts payable and accrued expenses, including variable compensation.

Signet derives most of its operating cash flows through the sale of merchandise and extended service plans. As a retail business, Signet receives cash when it makes a sale to a customer or when the payment has been processed by Signet or the relevant bank if the payment is made by third-party credit or debit card. The Company has outsourced its entire credit card portfolio, and it receives cash from its outsourced financing partners (net of applicable fees) generally within two days of the customer sale. Offsetting these receipts, the Company’s largest operating expenses are the purchase of inventory, payroll and payroll-related benefits, store occupancy costs (including rent) and advertising.

Summary cash flow

The following table provides a summary of Signet’s cash flow activity for Fiscal 2026 and Fiscal 2025:


	13 weeks ended
(in millions)	May 3, 2025		May 4, 2024
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(175.3)	$	(158.2)
Net cash used in investing activities	(36.6)		(21.5)
Net cash used in financing activities	(137.3)		(467.5)
Decrease in cash and cash equivalents	$	(349.2)	$	(647.2)

Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of period	$	604.0	$	1,378.7
Decrease in cash and cash equivalents	(349.2)		(647.2)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents	9.3		(2.2)
Cash and cash equivalents at end of period	$	264.1	$	729.3

Operating activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $175.3 million during the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2025 compared to $158.2 million in the prior year comparable period. The change in operating cash flows compared to prior year was primarily driven by higher paydowns of accounts payable year over year. The significant movements in operating cash flows are further described below:

Table of Contents

•Net income was $33.5 million compared to net income of $52.1 million in the prior year period, a decrease of $18.6 million. This decrease was primarily the result of restructuring charges of $19.0 million and higher SG&A in Fiscal 2026, partially offset by higher gross profit.

•The change in current income taxes was a use of $7.5 million in the current period compared to a use of $38.6 million in the prior year. The current year use was primarily the result of net income tax payments of $16.2 million, compared to net income tax payments of $45.3 million in the prior year period.

•Cash used by inventory was $56.1 million, consistent with a use of $48.9 million in the prior year, reflecting seasonal replenishment of inventories following the fourth quarter.

•Cash used by accounts payable was $187.5 million compared to a use of $136.7 million in the prior year period. Accounts payable is historically a use of cash in the first quarter, as the Company pays down invoices due from Holiday Season merchandise purchases. The increased use compared to the prior first quarter is due to timing and mix of payables.

•Cash used by accrued expenses and other liabilities was $5.4 million, compared to a use of $40.8 million in the prior year period. The difference compared to the prior year comparable period is primarily due to timing of advertising payments.

Investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2025 was $36.6 million compared to a use of $21.5 million in the prior year period. Cash used in Fiscal 2026 was related to capital expenditures of $36.6 million. Capital expenditures are associated with new stores, remodels of existing stores, and capital investments in digital and IT. Signet has planned Fiscal 2026 capital expenditures of up to $160 million. In Fiscal 2025, net cash used in investing activities was primarily related to capital expenditures of $23.3 million.

Stores opened and closed in the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2025:


	February 1, 2025	Openings	Closures	May 3, 2025
North America segment (1)	2,379	5	(13)	2,371
International segment (1)	263	—	(1)	262
Signet	2,642	5	(14)	2,633

(1) The net change in selling square footage for Fiscal 2026 for the North America and International segments was (0.1%) and (0.4%), respectively.

Financing activities

Net cash used in financing activities for the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2025 was $137.3 million, consisting of the repurchase of $117.4 million of common shares, common share dividends paid of $12.6 million, and payments for withholding taxes related to the settlement of the Company’s share-based compensation awards of $7.3 million.

Net cash used in financing activities for the 13 weeks ended May 4, 2024 was $467.5 million, consisting of the repurchase of the Preferred Shares of $412.0 million, the repurchase of $7.4 million of common shares, payments for withholding taxes related to the settlement of the Company’s share-based compensation awards of $27.6 million, and preferred and common share dividends paid of $20.5 million.

Movement in cash and indebtedness

Cash and cash equivalents at May 3, 2025 were $264.1 million compared to $729.3 million as of May 4, 2024. The decrease year over year was primarily driven by the retirement of Preferred Shares in Fiscal 2025, the repayment of the Senior Notes upon maturity in the second quarter of Fiscal 2025 and common share repurchases, as described above, partially offset by cash flow from operations. Signet holds cash and cash equivalents at a number of large, highly-rated financial institutions. The amount held at each financial institution takes into account the credit rating and size of the financial institution and is held for short-term durations.

As further described in Note 15, the Company entered into an agreement to amend the ABL on August 23, 2024. The amendment extended the maturity of the ABL from July 28, 2026 to August 23, 2029 and reduced the size of the ABL to $1.2 billion to better reflect current business needs based primarily on lower inventory levels maintained over the past few years. The Company continues to have an option to increase the size of the ABL by up to an additional $600 million.

There were no borrowings under the ABL during the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2025 and May 4, 2024. Available borrowing capacity under the ABL was $1.1 billion as of May 3, 2025.

The Company had no outstanding debt as of May 3, 2025. As further described in Note 15, the Company fully repaid the Senior Notes upon maturity in the second quarter of Fiscal 2025 using cash on hand. At May 4, 2024, Signet had $147.8 million of outstanding debt, consisting entirely of the Senior Notes.

As of May 3, 2025, February 1, 2025 and May 4, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.

Table of Contents

SEASONALITY

Signet’s business is seasonal, with the fourth quarter historically accounting for approximately 35-40% of annual sales as well as for a substantial portion of the annual operating income and cash flows. The “Holiday Season” consists of results for the months of November and December, with December being the highest volume month of the year.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements, in conformity with US GAAP and SEC regulations for interim reporting, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its accounting policies, estimates and judgments. Estimates and assumptions are primarily made in relation to the valuation of inventories, deferred revenue, employee compensation, income taxes, contingencies, leases, asset impairments for goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible and long-lived assets and the depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets. Management bases the estimates and judgments on historical experience and various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

While there have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in Signet’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2025 filed with the SEC on March 19, 2025, the Company continues to monitor the risk of impairment related to the Digital brands and Diamonds Direct reporting units as well as the Blue Nile, James Allen, and Diamonds Direct trade names. During Fiscal 2025, the Company determined that quantitative impairment assessments were required for the Digital brands and Diamonds Direct reporting units as well as the related Blue Nile, James Allen, and Diamonds Direct trade names. In addition to the general macroeconomic impacts over the past year, these brands have a higher bridal mix compared to the rest of Signet, and thus the slower than expected engagement recovery and continued pressure on consumer discretionary spending have had a disproportionate impact on these businesses as compared to the other Signet brands. In addition, to a lesser degree, the Digital brands sales have been impacted by market declines in lab-grown diamond pricing in recent years, as well as the previously discussed challenges related to the integration of Blue Nile and lower traffic post re-platforming due to search engine optimization issues unique to their business.

Based on the most recent quantitative assessments, the fair value of the Diamonds Direct reporting unit exceeded its carrying value of $251.2 million by approximately 11%, while the carrying values of the Digital brands goodwill and the Blue Nile, James Allen and Diamonds Direct trade names approximate their estimated fair values of $53.6 million, $19.0 million, $15.0 million and $112.0 million, respectively.

Management noted uncertainties exist related to the post-election macroeconomic environment in the US and abroad, including tariffs, economic and tax policy, inflation and interest rates. These factors could unfavorably impact consumer confidence and discretionary spending, and thus may impact the key assumptions used to estimate fair value, such as sales trends, margin trends, long-term growth rates and discount rates. These factors could also negatively affect the share price of the Company’s common stock. An increase in the discount rate and/or a further softening of sales and operating income trends for any of the Company’s reporting units and related trade names, particularly during peak selling seasons, could result in a further decline in the estimated fair values of the indefinite-lived intangible assets, including goodwill, which could result in future material impairment charges, particularly for Diamonds Direct and Digital brands as described above. For example, an increase in the discount rate of 0.5% to all of the aforementioned impaired trade names and reporting unit, assuming no other changes to assumptions, would have resulted in additional impairment charges of approximately $8 million.

The Company will continue to monitor events or circumstances that could trigger the need for an interim impairment test. The Company believes that the estimates and assumptions related to sales and operating income trends, discount rates, royalty rates and other assumptions are reasonable, but they are subject to change from period to period. Future economic conditions or operating performance, such as declines in sales or increases in discount rates, could differ from those projected by management in its most recent impairment tests for indefinite-lived intangible assets, including goodwill. This could impact our estimates of fair values and may result in future material impairment charges. See Note 12 of Item 1 for additional information.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Signet is exposed to market risk arising from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and precious metal prices, which could affect its consolidated financial position, earnings and cash flows. Signet monitors and manages these market exposures as a fundamental part of its overall risk management program, which recognizes the volatility of financial markets and seeks to reduce the potentially adverse effects of this volatility on Signet’s operating results. Signet manages its exposure to market risk through its regular operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. Signet uses derivative financial instruments as risk management tools and not for trading purposes.

As a portion of the International reportable segment’s purchases are denominated in US dollars and its net cash flows are in British pounds, Signet’s policy is to enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign currency swaps to manage the exposure to the US dollar. Signet may enter into derivative transactions to hedge a significant portion of forecasted merchandise purchases using commodity forward purchase contracts, options, net zero premium collar arrangements, or some combination thereof. Additionally, the North America reportable segment enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to manage the currency fluctuations associated with the Company’s Canadian operations. These contracts are entered into with large, reputable financial institutions, thereby minimizing the credit exposure from the Company’s counterparties.

Signet has significant amounts of cash and cash equivalents held at several financial institutions. The amounts held at each financial institution takes into account the long-term credit rating and size of the financial institution. The interest rates earned on cash and cash equivalents will fluctuate in line with short-term interest rates.

Signet’s market risk profile as of May 3, 2025 has not materially changed since February 1, 2025. The market risk profile as of February 1, 2025 is disclosed in Signet’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 19, 2025.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Management’s evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Signet’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by Signet in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. The procedures are also designed to ensure that information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Operating and Financial Officer (principal financial officer), as appropriate to allow timely decisions to be made regarding required disclosure.

Management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures in accordance with Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on such evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of May 3, 2025.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There were no changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the first quarter of Fiscal 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

No other directors or officers of the Company have adopted, modified, or terminated a Rule 10b5-1 Trading Arrangement or Non-Rule 10b5-1 Trading Arrangement (as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K) during the first quarter of Fiscal 2026.

Executive Retention Awards

To incentivize the retention of key leadership through the execution of the Grow Brand Love strategic plan and ongoing leadership transitions, on June 1, 2025, the Human Capital Management & Compensation Committee of the Board approved special restricted stock unit (“RSU”) and performance-based restricted stock unit (“PSU”) awards to Joan M. Hilson, the Company’s Chief Operating and Financial Officer, in each case granted on June 2, 2025.

Ms. Hilson received a special retention RSU award, make-whole RSU award and make-whole PSU award. The special retention RSU award had a grant date value of $2,500,000, which is approximately equivalent to Ms. Hilson’s annual Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) award for Fiscal 2026. The retention award is eligible to vest in full on the third anniversary of the grant date, subject to Ms. Hilson’s continued employment in good standing through such vesting date. The award will terminate without vesting if Ms. Hilson fails to be in good standing, retires or is terminated for cause prior to the vesting date and will vest in full if she is terminated without cause prior to the vesting date.

The make-whole RSU and PSU awards were granted to align Ms. Hilson’s Fiscal 2026 awards with a recent increase to her annual LTIP target opportunity from 280% to 330%. Each make-whole award has substantially the same terms as the Company’s current

standard form of RSU and PSU award agreements, except that these make-whole awards expressly exclude any special vesting treatment upon retirement. Each such award will terminate without vesting if Ms. Hilson fails to be in good standing, retires or is terminated for cause prior to the vesting date and, in accordance with the terms of her amended and restated termination protection agreement, a pro-rated portion of such award will vest if she is terminated without cause while in good standing prior to the vesting date.

Beginning in April 2025, the Company’s RSU awards entitle award holders to receive dividend equivalent rights in the form of additional RSUs that vest on the same terms as the underlying RSUs. The current standard form of RSU award agreement, which includes these dividend equivalent provisions, is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 10-Q. Ms. Hilson’s special retention RSU award was granted in accordance with the form of Time-Based Restricted Stock Retention Award Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.3 to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended November 2, 2024 filed on December 5, 2024, with the addition of the dividend equivalent rights and other terms noted above.
