Item No. 2.02 - Results of Operations and Financial Condition
Reference is made to the Form 8-K filed today by Signet Jewelers Limited ("Signet") announcing its results for the 13 and 52 weeks ended January 30, 2010. It has come to the attention of Signet that certain of the non-GAAP information for fourth quarter fiscal 2010 contained an error relating to the tax impact on the calculation of the 13 weeks ended January 30, 2010 underlying (non-GAAP) net income.
As a result, underlying net income (non-GAAP) for fourth quarter fiscal 2010 should have been $118.2 million instead of $123.9 million, an underlying increase of 24.0% instead of 30.0%, and an underlying increase at constant exchange rates of 31.2% instead of 37.5%. Fourth quarter fiscal 2010 underlying (non-GAAP) basic and diluted earnings per share were $1.38 per share instead of $1.45 per share, and $1.37 per share instead of $1.44 per share, respectively. This represents an underlying increase of 23.2% instead of 29.5%, and 22.3% instead of 28.6%, respectively, and an underlying increase at constant exchange rates of 30.2% instead of 36.8%, and 29.2% instead of 35.8%, respectively.
Signet’s audited financial results for the fiscal year ended January 30, 2010, were correctly reported in today’s announcement and are unaffected by this amendment.
A copy of the revised announcement is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K/A.
