SIGNET JEWELERS LTD

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 asthree reportable segments: North America, International, and Other. The “Other” reportable segment consists of subsidiaries involved in the purchasing and conversion of rough diamonds to polished stones. See Note 4 for information regarding the Company’s reportable segments.

Signet’s business is seasonal, with the fourth quarter historically accounting for approximately 35-40% of annual sales as well as for a substantial portion of the annual operating income and cash flows.

Basis of preparation

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

Use of estimates

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

Fiscal year

The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest to January 31 st. 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.

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 millionand $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:

Deferred revenue

Deferred revenue as of May 3, 2025, February 1, 2025 and May 4, 2024 was as follows:

(1) Other deferred revenue primarily includes revenue collected from customers for custom orders and e-commerce orders, for which control has not yet transferred to the customer.

(1) Includes impact of foreign exchange translation.

(2)The Company recognized sales of $87.6 million and $85.2 million during the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2025 and May 4, 2024, respectively, related to deferred revenue that existed at the beginning of the periods.

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 asthree 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.

Financial information for each of Signet’s reportable segments for the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2025 and May 4, 2024 is presented in the tables below.

(1)Restructuring and asset impairment charges during the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2025 were incurred primarily as a result of the Company’s Grow Brand Love strategy initiatives. Restructuring and asset impairment charges during the 13 weeks ended May 4, 2024 were incurred primarily as a result of the Company’s rationalization of its store footprint and reorganization of certain centralized functions.

(2)Includes charges associated with the previously announced divestiture of the UK prestige watch business.

(3)Includes severance and retention expenses related to the integration of Blue Nile.

The following tables provide the Company’s total depreciation and amortization and total capital expenditures, by reportable segment, for the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2025 and May 4, 2024:

The following tables provide the Company’s total assets and total long-lived assets, by reportable segment, as of May 3, 2025, February 1, 2025 and May 4, 2024:

(1)Includes property, plant and equipment, net; goodwill; and intangible assets, net.

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)

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:

(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:

(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.

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

(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:

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:

The calculation of diluted EPS excludes the following items for each respective period on the basis that their effect would be antidilutive:

8. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)

The following tables present the changes in AOCI by component and the reclassifications out of AOCI, net of tax:

The amounts reclassified from AOCI to earnings were as follows:

9. Income taxes

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.

10. Inventories

The following table provides the components of the Company’s inventories as of May 3, 2025, February 1, 2025 and May 4, 2024:

11. Leases

The following table provides the components of total lease costs for the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2025 and May 4, 2024:

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:

(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.

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

(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

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:

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:

(1) The Senior Notes were repaid during the second quarter of Fiscal 2025. See Note 15 for additional information.

15. Long-term debt

The following table summarizes the details of the Company’s long-term debt as of May 3, 2025, February 1, 2025 and May 4, 2024:

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 hadno 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:

(1)Includes impact of foreign exchange translation.

17. Other operating expense, net

The following table provides the components of other operating expense, net for the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2025 and May 4, 2024:

(1)See Note 18 for additional information.

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 areno 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 inaccounts payable in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and within operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
