Third Quarter 2020 Financial Highlights
Signet's total sales were $1.19 billion, down 0.3%, in the 13 weeks ended November 2, 2019 on a reported basis and up 0.2% on a constant currency basis. Total same store sales grew 2.1% year-over-year.
eCommerce sales were $139.3 million, up 11.4% year over year. eCommerce sales accounted for 11.7% of sales, up from 10.5% of total sales in the prior year quarter. Brick and mortar same store sales grew 0.9%.
North America payment plan participation rate, including both credit and leasing sales, was 52.4% versus 53.3% in the prior year third quarter.
By operating segment:
North America
International
GAAP gross margin was $367.7 million, or 31.0% of sales, down 20 bps versus the prior year quarter. Gross margin rate reflected: 1) transformation cost savings, 2) higher credit revenue share payments; and 3) lower merchandise margin including an increase in clearance sales to accelerate inventory reduction. In the current year quarter, an additional charge of $1.4 million was taken related to inventory that the company previously discontinued as part of its transformation plan. Excluding this charge, non-GAAP gross margin was $369.1 million, or 31.1%, flat versus the prior year quarter.
SGA was $398.4 million, or 33.5% of sales, compared to $410.3 million, or 34.4% of sales in the prior year. Changes in SGA were driven by: 1) lower store staff costs inclusive of closed stores, 2) net transformation cost savings; and 3) an increase in advertising.
GAAP operating income (loss) was $(39.9) million or (3.4)% of sales, compared to $(48.8) million, or (4.1)% of sales in the prior year third quarter. The operating loss change reflected: 1) net transformation cost savings, 2) lower net impact of credit including higher revenue share payments, 3) higher levels of clearance to accelerate inventory reduction ahead of receipt of new holiday merchandise; and 4) an increase in advertising.
Non-GAAP operating income was $(29.3) million, or (2.5)% of sales, compared to $(38.9) million, or (3.3)% of sales in prior year third quarter. Non-GAAP operating income excluded $10.6 million in restructuring charges related to the Path to Brilliance transformation plan.
Other non-operating income of $7.0 million includes a $6.7 million net gain related to the completion of the company's debt refinancing. The net gain includes an $8.7 million net gain on the early extinguishment of senior notes somewhat offset by a $2.0 million write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs related to termination of the company's prior credit facility. For additional details of the refinancing transaction please see Form 10-Q.
The current quarter GAAP effective tax rate of 14.5% was primarily driven by pre-tax earnings mix by jurisdiction. The non-GAAP effective tax rate was 17.0% which was also primarily driven by pre-tax earnings mix by jurisdiction.
GAAP EPS was $(0.84), including a $0.20 charge related to the Path to Brilliance transformation plan and a $0.13 net gain on early extinguishment of debt and $0.01 tax impact related to these items. Excluding these items, EPS was $(0.76) 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 third quarter net income (loss).
Balance Sheet and Statement of Cash Flows
Net cash provided by operating activities was $113.5 million year to date and free cash flow was $18.2 million year to date. Free cash flow benefited from significantly lower use of cash for inventory.
Cash and cash equivalents were $188.6 million, compared to $130.7 million at the prior year quarter-end. Total debt, including short-term and long-term debt and excluding operating lease liabilities, was $793.8 million, compared to $983.0 million at the prior year quarter-end.
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 expects 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 $65 million - $75 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 86 closures in the fiscal year to date and limited new store openings for the full year. The company expects it will have reduced its store base by approximately 12% over the three-year period from Fiscal Years 2018 - 2020, materially reducing its exposure to lower grade malls and simplifying the portfolio by exiting most of its regional banners.

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 adjusted free cash flow, defined as free cash flow excluding proceeds from the sale of non-prime receivables, 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. Adjusted free cash flow is an indicator used by management frequently in evaluating its overall liquidity and determining appropriate capital allocation strategies. Free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow do not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditure.
