“We delivered operating profit above our guidance range and strong free
cash flow in the first quarter, with same store sales at the low end of
our guidance,” said Signet Chief Executive Officer Virginia C. Drosos.
“Given the sales trends we experienced year to date and softening retail
traffic, we are narrowing our Fiscal 2020 guidance while continuing to
expect strong progress on cost savings across our business. We remain
focused on executing our Path to Brilliance transformation initiatives
to improve the trajectory of our same store sales and drive higher
profitability over the long-term.”

Signet Path to Brilliance Expected Savings and Restructuring Costs
In Fiscal 2020, the company expects net cost savings of $70 million -
$80 million. The company continues to expect its transformation plan to
deliver $200 million - $225 million of net cost savings in Fiscal Years
2019-2021, inclusive of the $85 million achieved in Fiscal 2019.
In Fiscal 2020, the company’s preliminary estimate for pre-tax charges
related to cost reduction activities ranges from $55 million - $70
million, of which $46 million - $58 million are expected to be cash
charges. The company's estimate for pre-tax charges in Fiscal Years 2019
- 2021 is a range of $200 million - $220 million, of which $105 million
- $115 million are expected to be cash charges.
In Fiscal 2020, the company expects to close approximately 150 stores,
with 44 closures in the first quarter and limited new store openings for
the full year. By the end of Fiscal 2020, the company expects it will
have reduced its store base by 13% over the three-year period from
Fiscal Years 2018 - 2020.
First Quarter 2020 Financial Highlights
Signet's total sales were $1.43 billion, down 3.3%, in the 13 weeks
ended May 4, 2019 on a reported basis and down 2.6% on a constant
currency basis. Total same store sales performance decreased 1.3%
year-over-year, inclusive of: 1) a 40 bps unfavorable impact related to
a timing shift of service plan revenue recognized and 2) a favorable
impact of 35 bps due to a planned shift in timing of promotions at Jared.
North America payment plan participation rate, including both credit and
leasing sales, was 50.0% versus 51.1% in the prior year first quarter.
eCommerce sales were $154.3 million, up 5.3% year over year. eCommerce
sales accounted for 10.8% of sales, up from 9.9% of total sales in the
prior year quarter. Brick and mortar same store sales declined 2.0%.
By operating segment:
North America
-
North America same store sales decreased 0.9%, inclusive of: 1) a 45
bps unfavorable impact related to a timing shift of service plan
revenue recognized and 2) a favorable impact of 40 bps due to a
planned shift in timing of promotions at Jared (which had a favorable
impact of 190 bps on Jared's same store sales). Average transaction
value ("ATV") increased 1.3% and the number of transactions decreased
2.3%.
-
eCommerce sales increased 6.6%, and brick and mortar same store sales
decreased 1.8%. Excluding James Allen, eCommerce sales increased 12.6%.
-
The percentage of sales from new merchandise increased during the
quarter, but this performance was somewhat offset by declines in
legacy collections. Bridal sales were down slightly on a same store
sales basis. Flagship brands The Enchanted Disney Fine Jewelry®
collection, Vera Wang Love® collection, Neil Lane® collection, and
Leo® collection performed well, while the legacy Ever Us® collection
and non-branded bridal declined. Fashion category sales increased, led
by on-trend collections including gold fashion jewelry, Disney fashion
jewelry, and the Love + Be LovedTM collection, somewhat
offset by declines in legacy fashion collections including LeVian®.
The Watches and Other product categories declined, with Other driven
by a strategic reduction of owned brand beads, as well as declines in
Pandora®.
International
-
International same store sales decreased 5.2%. ATV increased 0.2% and
the number of transactions decreased 5.4%. Sales declined across
categories and continued to reflect a difficult operating environment
in the UK.
GAAP gross margin was $499.4 million, or 34.9% of sales, up 220 bps
versus the prior year quarter. Factors impacting gross margin rate
include: 1) a favorable 320 bps impact related to credit outsourcing; 2)
an unfavorable 65 bps impact related to higher diamond sales to third
parties from our Botswana operations; and 3) an unfavorable 25 bps
impact related to a timing shift of revenue recognized on service plans.
SGA was $475.2 million, or 33.2% of sales, compared to $482.8 million,
or 32.6% of sales in the prior year. Increases in SGA included: 1) a $16
million increase in credit costs related to the transition to an
outsourced credit model, and 2) higher advertising expense. These
increases were offset by: 1) lower store staff costs primarily due to
closed stores, 2) transformation cost savings; and 3) timing shifts of
certain corporate expenses.
GAAP operating income (loss) was $(2.6) million or (0.2)% of sales,
compared to $(574.2) million, or (38.8)% of sales in the prior year
first quarter. The operating income change reflected: 1) a prior year
goodwill and intangible asset impairment charge of $448.7 million, 2) a
prior year loss of $143.1 million related to non-prime receivables
classified as held for sale; and 3) a $20.3 million year over year
increase in restructuring charges related to the Path to Brilliance
transformation plan. Excluding these charges, the operating income
change was primarily driven by an $11 million favorable impact related
to the outsourcing of credit, mostly offset by increases in advertising.
Non-GAAP operating income was $24.2 million, or 1.7% of sales, compared
to $24.1 million, or 1.6% of sales in prior year first quarter. Non-GAAP
operating income excluded $26.8 million in restructuring charges related
to the Path to Brilliance transformation plan in the current year
quarter. The non-GAAP operating income change was primarily driven by an
$11 million favorable impact related to the outsourcing of credit,
mostly offset by increases in advertising.
Income tax benefit was $1.5 million compared to income tax benefit of
$85.9 million in the prior year first quarter. The current quarter GAAP
effective tax rate was primarily driven by pre-tax earnings mix by
jurisdiction. On a non-GAAP basis, income tax expense was $2.8 million
for an effective tax rate of 18.3%, primarily driven by pre-tax earnings
mix by jurisdiction.
GAAP EPS was $(0.35), including a $0.43 charge related to the Path to
Brilliance transformation plan. Excluding this charge, EPS was $0.08 on
a non-GAAP basis.
GAAP and non-GAAP EPS in the quarter are based on net income (loss)
available to common shareholders as the preferred shares are
anti-dilutive and excluded from the ending share count due to the level
of first quarter net income (loss).
Balance Sheet and Statement of Cash Flows
Net cash provided by operating activities was $105.4 million in the
first quarter and free cash flow was $80.8 million. Free cash flow
benefited from significantly lower use of cash for inventory versus the
prior year quarter.
Cash and cash equivalents were $195.1 million, compared to $153.9
million at the prior year quarter-end. Total debt, including short-term
and long-term debt and excluding operating lease liabilities, was $682.7
million, compared to $752.0 million at the prior year quarter-end.

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations
The following information provides reconciliations of the most
comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) to
presented non-GAAP financial measures. The company believes that
non-GAAP financial measures, when reviewed in conjunction with GAAP
financial measures, can provide more information to assist investors in
evaluating historical trends and current period performance. For these
reasons, internal management reporting also includes non-GAAP measures.
Items may be excluded from GAAP financial measures when the company
believes this provides greater clarity to management and investors.
These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to,
and not superior to or as a substitute for the GAAP financial measures
presented in this earnings release and the company’s financial
statements and other publicly filed reports. In addition, our non-GAAP
financial measures may not be the same as or comparable to similar
non-GAAP measures presented by other companies.
In discussing financial results, the company refers to free cash flow
which is not in accordance with GAAP and is defined as the net cash
provided by operating activities less purchases of property, plant and
equipment. Management considers free cash flow as 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 used by management frequently
in evaluating its overall liquidity and determining appropriate capital
allocation strategies. Free cash flow does not represent the residual
cash flow available for discretionary expenditure.
