Forward guidance
Signet provided financial guidance for Fiscal Year 2022, including total revenue between $5.85 billion and $6.00 billion and same store sales growth between 14% and 17%.
Tailwinds
- Preliminary SSS for Q1 to date, through March 14, 2021, were approximately 16%.
- Signet expects stronger sales performance in the first half of the fiscal year.
- The Company’s Inspiring Brilliance strategy requires additional investments in digital and technology to further strengthen our competitive advantage and long-term positioning within the jewelry category.
- Gross cost savings of $50 million - $75 million are expected in Fiscal 2022, with continued benefits from closed stores and operational efficiencies. Cost savings are expected to benefit both SG&A and gross margin.
- Signet has planned Fiscal 2022 capital expenditures in the range of $150 million to $175 million, reflecting continued investments in technology and innovation.
Headwinds
- As the vaccine rollout progresses, there could be a shift of consumer discretionary spending away from the jewelry category toward experience-oriented categories, the magnitude and timing of which is difficult to predict.
- Signet expects categories with pent up demand to be promotional in order to capture discretionary spend.
- The Company is conservatively planning for same store sales to be negative in the second half of the fiscal year.
- Continued uncertainty surrounding multiple factors include the magnitude and potential resurgence of COVID-19 in key trade areas, extended duration of heightened unemployment, supply chain disruptions and macro or governmental influences on consumers’ ability to spend, particularly in discretionary categories like jewelry.
- There can be no assurance that preliminary quarter to date trends will continue for the remainder of the first quarter and are not indicative of future performance.
