Signet Jewelers raised its Fiscal 2022 guidance to reflect enhanced Connected Commerce capabilities and business momentum.
Positive Outlook
- Signet expects some shift of consumer discretionary spending away from the jewelry category toward experience-oriented categories during the fourth quarter.
- The Company has increased its gross cost savings expectations for Fiscal 2022 to $100 million to $115 million from $85 million to $105 million.
- Cost savings are expected to benefit both SG&A and gross margin.
- Signet has planned Fiscal 2022 capital expenditures in the range of $190 million to $200 million.
- Signet's efforts to mitigate supply chain and retail labor pool disruption amongst the pandemic impacts have been effective thus far. Guidance assumes no material disruptions for the remainder of Fiscal 2022.
Challenges Ahead
- While timing and magnitude is difficult to predict, Signet expects some shift of consumer discretionary spending away from the jewelry category toward experience-oriented categories during the fourth quarter.
- Continued uncertainty regarding macroeconomic factors exists, including but not limited to the magnitude and duration of COVID-19 resurgence through the variants, including Omicron, in key trade areas, government mandates, extended duration of heightened unemployment, organized retail crime, pricing and inflationary environment changes (including, but not limited to, materials, labor, fulfillment and advertising costs).
- Further, there can be no assurance that current results and trends will continue for the remainder of the fiscal year and such results and trends are not indicative of future performance.
- Signet continues to put the health and safety of its employees and customers first and will close stores in the event that either is at risk; however, guidance does not contemplate large scale store closures resulting from COVID-19 variants, including uncertainty surrounding the effects of the most recent variant, Omicron.
- Recently acquired Diamonds Direct is now included in the fourth quarter and full year Fiscal 2022 guidance, from the date of acquisition on November 17, 2021.
