**Exhibit 99.1**

**SIGNET JEWELERS REPORTS FISCAL 2023 RESULTS**

*Full year non-GAAP operating margin reflects sustainable structural improvements*

*Achieved Q4 expectations for revenue and non-GAAP operating income*

*Guiding $11.07 to $11.59 in non-GAAP diluted EPS in Fiscal 2024* <sup>(1)</sup>

HAMILTON, Bermuda, March 16, 2023 – Signet Jewelers Limited ("Signet") (NYSE:SIG), the world's largest retailer of diamond jewelry, today announced its results for the 13 weeks ("fourth quarter Fiscal 2023") and 52 weeks ("Fiscal 2023") ended January 28, 2023.

"Thank you to our team for their dedication, agility, and excellent execution. We delivered on our three key priorities of growing market share, achieving an annual double-digit non-GAAP operating margin, and leveraging capital allocation to drive shareholder returns despite headwinds and volatility throughout the year," said Signet Chief Executive Officer Virginia C. Drosos. "As we turn to FY24, we are confident in the sustainable competitive advantages we've built and our ability to leverage our enhanced infrastructure and scale to grow ahead of the jewelry industry."

"Our Fiscal 2024 guidance reflects confidence in our ability to deliver an annual double-digit non-GAAP operating margin despite a jewelry retail environment that we estimate will decline mid-single digits through the year," said Joan Hilson, Chief Financial, Strategy and Services Officer. "Consistent with our stated capital allocation priorities to drive shareholder returns, we have prioritized up to $200 million in capital investments, increased our quarterly common dividend to $0.23 per share as part of our commitment as a dividend growth company, and increased our share buyback program by $263 million, bringing the total remaining authorization to approximately $775 million."

**Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2023 Highlights:**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Total sales of $2.7 billion, down $145.1 million or 5.2% (down 4.3%<sup>(3)</sup> on a constant currency basis) to increased sales in FY22, resulting in part from government benefit programs and the Company's strategic transformation including marketing initiatives, and up $512.9 million or 23.8% compared to FY20. In addition, the current year quarter was negatively impacted by weather in the US in the peak selling period before Christmas, as well as labor strikes and the impact of the weakened British Pound in the UK.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Same store sales ("SSS")<sup>(2)</sup> down 9.1% to last year and up 16.4% to FY20.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• GAAP operating income of $369.5 million, down from $402.4 million in FY22 and up from $223.2 million in FY20. Q4 FY23 includes $35.2 million related to asset impairment and litigation charges, as well as acquisition and integration-related charges related to Blue Nile.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Non-GAAP operating income<sup>(3)</sup> of $404.7 million compared to $411.0 million in FY22 and $270.3 million in FY20.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• GAAP diluted earnings per share ("EPS") of $5.02, up from $4.91 in Q4 of FY22 and $3.14 in Q4 of FY20. Q4 FY23 EPS includes $0.50 in charges relating to asset impairments, litigation, and acquisition and integration-related charges related to Blue Nile, as well as a discrete income tax expense adjustment for an uncertain tax position recorded in the current quarter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Non-GAAP diluted EPS<sup>(3)</sup> of $5.52, up from $5.01 in Q4 of FY22 and $3.67 in FY20.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Cash and cash equivalents at year-end of $1.2 billion, down approximately $252 million from Q4 of FY22, driven primarily by share repurchases, capital investments and the acquisition of Blue Nile offset by cash flow from operations during the year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**•** Year to date cash flows from operating activities for Fiscal 2023 of $797.9 million, down from $1.3 billion in Fiscal 2022, primarily due to lower income and normalization of inventory levels during the year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Completed share repurchases of $64.9 million during the fourth quarter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(1)</sup> Does not include share repurchases after March 15, 2023. See non-GAAP discussion within Fiscal 2024 guidance section below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(2)</sup> Same store sales include physical stores and eCommerce sales. Diamonds Direct is now included in SSS beginning in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2023. Blue Nile has been excluded.

By reportable segment:

<u>North America</u>

• Total sales of $2.5 billion, down $103.6 million or 4.0% to last year, and up $549.5 million or 28.1% to FY20.

• SSS decreased 9.3% versus last year and were up 19.8% versus Q4 FY20, reflecting higher average transaction values ("ATV"), which increased 3.9%, but offset by a lower number of transactions compared to last year.

<u>International</u>

• Total sales of $153.2 million, down $30.2 million or 16.5% to last year, and down $33.0 million or 17.7% to FY20. Total sales in the current year quarter were unfavorably impacted by labor strikes and volatility in the UK economy, as well as $18.7 million or 9.5% related to the weakening of the British Pound.

• SSS decreased 6.8% versus last year reflecting higher ATV, which increased 13.3%, but offset by a lower number of transactions compared to last year.

GAAP gross margin was $1.1 billion, or 41.7% of sales, 70 basis points higher compared to the prior year quarter. This improvement reflects a 100 basis-point merchandise margin expansion in our core businesses and growth in services which more than offset the expected dilution of Blue Nile, as well as the deleveraging of fixed costs, primarily occupancy.

------

GAAP SG&A was $702.5 million, or 26.3% of sales, 20 basis points lower versus the prior year quarter and 310 basis points lower versus the fourth quarter of FY20. The improved SG&A as a percentage of sales compared to the prior year quarter was primarily driven by the impact of cost savings initiatives and labor efficiencies at the stores. Compared to fourth quarter of FY20, cost savings from new credit agreements and a more efficient labor model drove the majority of the improvement.

GAAP operating income was $369.5 million or 13.9% of sales, compared to $402.4 million, or 14.3% of sales in the prior year fourth quarter and $223.2 million, or 10.4% of sales in Q4 of FY20.

Non-GAAP operating income was $404.7 million, or 15.2% of sales, compared to $411.0 million, or 14.6% of sales in the prior year fourth quarter and $270.3 million, or 12.6% of sales in Q4 of FY20. Non-GAAP operating income in the current quarter excluded $35.2 million in charges relating to asset impairments and litigation, as well as acquisition and integration charges related to Blue Nile.

The current quarter GAAP and non-GAAP effective tax rate was 24.4% primarily driven by pre-tax earnings mix by jurisdiction, offset by the impact of a discrete tax expense related to an uncertain tax position recorded in the fourth quarter. On a GAAP basis, income tax expense was $89.5 million compared to income expense of $82.4 million in the prior year quarter. On a non-GAAP basis, income tax expense was $98.3 million compared to income tax expense of $84.6 million in the prior year quarter.

GAAP diluted EPS was $5.02, including charges relating to asset impairments and litigation, as well as acquisition and integration-related charges related to Blue Nile. Excluding these charges (and related tax effects), diluted EPS was $5.52 on a non-GAAP basis. GAAP and non-GAAP diluted EPS in the quarter include the dilutive impact of the preferred shares in the share count based on the level of net income this quarter.

**Full Year Fiscal 2023 Results:**

Total sales of $7.8 billion, up $16.1 million or 0.2% to last year (up 1.1%<sup>(3)</sup> on a constant currency basis), and up $1.7 billion or 27.8% to FY20. SSS declined 6.1% versus last year and increased 18.1% compared to FY20.

nm Not meaningful.

By reportable segment:

<u>North America</u>

• Total sales of $7.3 billion, up $24.7 million or 0.3% to last year, and up $1.7 billion or 31.0% to FY20.

• SSS declined 7.0% versus last year reflecting higher ATV, which increased 11.2%, but a lower number of transactions compared to last year.

<u>International</u>

• Total sales of $470.1 million, down $22.3 million or 4.5% to last year, and down $47.9 million or 9.2% to FY20. On a constant currency basis, sales were up 7.9% for the year.

• SSS increased 8.3% versus last year reflecting higher ATV, which increased 8.9%, but a lower number of transactions compared to last year.

**Balance Sheet and Statement of Cash Flows:**

Cash flow from operating activities for Fiscal 2023 was $797.9 million, compared to $1.3 billion in the prior year. Cash and cash equivalents were $1.2 billion as of January 28, 2023, compared to $1.4 billion at prior-year end. The year over year change to cash and cash equivalents was primarily driven by share repurchases and the acquisition of Blue Nile offset by cash flows from operations.

Inventory ended the year at $2.2 billion, up 4.4%, or $89.9 million higher to last year as a result of the Company's acquisition of Blue Nile. Compared to pre-pandemic levels inventory is down $485 million or 21% without acquisitions, and down 8% overall.

Signet achieved an adjusted debt to EBITDAR leverage ratio<sup>(1)</sup> of 2.0x, well within its stated goal of below 2.75 times EBITDAR.

<sup>(1)</sup> See non-GAAP financial measures within Item 7 in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

**Return of Capital:**

Signet's Board of Directors ("Board") has declared a quarterly cash dividend on common shares of $0.23 per share for the first quarter of Fiscal 2024, payable May 26, 2023 to shareholders of record on April 28, 2023, with an ex-dividend date of April 27, 2023.

------

During Fiscal 2023, Signet repurchased approximately 6.1 million shares at an average cost per share of $70.06, or $426 million, including $64.9 million during the fourth quarter and $50 million from the completion of the accelerated share repurchase program from Fiscal 2022. On March 15, 2023, the Board approved a $263 million increase to the multi-year authorization under its share repurchase program bringing the total remaining authorization to approximately $775 million, and is net of approximately $25 million of shares repurchased in Fiscal 2024 through the date of this release.

**Our Purpose and Sustainable Growth:**

As a company with a Purpose-inspired business strategy, Signet believes in ongoing leadership in Corporate Citizenship & Sustainability and views Environmental, Social and Governance ("ESG") initiatives as an important growth driver. For the third year in a row, Signet is a Great Place to Work-Certified™ company based on survey responses for our team members. In addition, Great Place to Work® and *Fortune* magazine has named Signet to the 2022 Best Workplaces in Retail™ list. Signet's approach to supply chain risk management is a core component of our ESG program. As a tenured leader in the jewelry industry, Signet continues to hold our global suppliers to high ethical standards and prioritizes respect for human rights. The "Signet Promise" is Signet's public commitment to the integrity of our global diamond supply chain though our four-layered system of checks and balances to support consumer confidence.

**First quarter and full year Fiscal 2024 Guidance:**

Signet's first quarter and full year Fiscal 2024 guidance for sales, operating income and diluted EPS below is provided on a non-GAAP basis:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **First Quarter** | **Fiscal 2024** <sup>(2)</sup> |
| Total sales | $1.62 billion to $1.65 billion | $7.67 billion to $7.84 billion |
| Operating income <sup>(1)</sup> | $97 million to $108 million | $765 million to $800 million |
| Diluted EPS <sup>(1)</sup> |  | $11.07 to $11.59 |

---

<sup>(1)</sup> See description of non-GAAP financial measures below.

<sup>(2)</sup> Fiscal 2024 is a 53-week fiscal year for Signet, ending February 3, 2024, driven by the retail industry calendar. The additional week will occur in Q4 of Fiscal 2024.

Forecasted non-GAAP operating income and diluted EPS provided above excludes potential non-recurring charges, such as asset impairments or integration-related costs associated with the acquisition of Blue Nile. However, given the potential impact of non-recurring charges to the GAAP operating income and diluted EPS, we cannot provide forecasted GAAP operating income or diluted EPS or the probable significance of such items without unreasonable efforts. As such, we do not present a reconciliation of forecasted non-GAAP operating income and diluted EPS to corresponding forecasted GAAP amounts.

The Company's first quarter and Fiscal 2024 Outlook is based on the following assumptions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Annual US Jewelry industry revenues are expected to be down mid-single digits. The Company's guidance contemplates market share gains against this total industry performance range.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Planned capital investments up to $200 million, reflecting investments in banner differentiation, including stores, Connected Commerce capabilities, and digital and technology advancement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company expects headwinds to continue in engagements with recovery later in Fiscal 2024, and continue to rebound in Fiscal 2025. Bridal overall, inclusive of engagements, historically represents approximately 47-49% of Signet's merchandise sales over the last five years.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Additionally, with the slowing economy and continued inflationary pressures we do not expect to see a rebound in the lower price point consumer in the coming year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• While timing and magnitude is difficult to predict, Signet also anticipates a continued shift of consumer discretionary spending away from the jewelry category reflecting decelerating levels of consumer confidence and pent-up demand for experience-oriented categories, as well as expects further impacts of inflation and other macroeconomic factors on consumer spending.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Signet's efforts to mitigate supply chain disruption have been effective thus far. Guidance assumes no significant disruptions in availability of inventory.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Annual tax rate of approximately 19% assumes no discrete items and no changes in current tax laws during Fiscal 2024.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Earnings per share for Fiscal 2024 excludes the impact of any further share repurchases beyond the approximately 0.3 million shares repurchased in Fiscal 2024 through the date of this release, and includes the dilutive effect of the 8.1 million preferred shares.

**Non-GAAP Financial Measures**

In addition to reporting the Company's financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the Company reports certain financial measures on a non-GAAP basis. 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 useful supplementary information to management and investors in assessing the operating performance of our business.

Certain non-GAAP financial measures utilized by the Company include non-GAAP operating income (loss), free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow, non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share, and sales changes on a constant currency basis. The Company provides the year-over-year change in total sales excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations to provide transparency to performance and enhance investors' understanding of underlying business trends. The effect from foreign currency, calculated on a constant currency basis, is determined by applying current year average exchange rates to prior year sales in local currency.

The Company estimates the tax effect of all non-GAAP adjustments by applying a statutory tax rate to each item. The income tax items represent the discrete amount that affected the period. 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 condensed consolidated 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.

The following information provides reconciliations of the most comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP to presented non-GAAP financial measures.
