Global retail property

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

North America retail property

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

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

Below is a summary of lease and cost information for stores and kiosks in the North America segment as of February 1, 2025:

In the US, the North America segment collectively leases approximately 30% of store and kiosk locations from two lessors. In Canada, approximately 66% of store locations are leased from five lessors, with no individual lessor relationship exceeding 16%. The segment had no other relationship with any lessor relating to 10% or more of its locations.

During the past five fiscal years, the Company generally has been successful in renewing its store leases as they expire and has not experienced difficulty in securing suitable locations for its stores. No store lease is individually material to Signet’s operations.

International retail property

The International segment’s stores are generally leased under full repairing and insuring leases (equivalent to triple net leases in the US). Wherever possible, Signet is shortening the length of new leases that it enters into or including break clauses in order to improve the flexibility of its lease commitments. As of February 1, 2025, the average unexpired lease term of International premises was four years, and a majority of leases had either break clauses or terms expiring within five years. Rents are usually subject to upward review every five years if market conditions so warrant. An increasing proportion of rents also have an element related to the sales of a store, subject to a minimum annual value.

At the end of the lease period, subject to certain limited exceptions, leaseholders in the UK generally have statutory rights to enter into a new lease of the premises on negotiated terms. As current leases expire, Signet believes that it will be able to renew leases, if desired, for present store locations or to obtain leases in equivalent or improved locations in the same general area. Signet has not experienced difficulty in securing leases for suitable locations for its International stores.

A typical International segment store undergoes a remodel or refurbishment every five to ten years. The cost of remodeling a regular store is typically between $0.4 million and $0.8 million for both H.Samuel and Ernest Jones, while remodels in prestigious locations could exceed these amounts.

The International segment has no relationship with any lessor relating to 10% or more of its store locations. No store lease is individually material to Signet’s operations.
