HAMILTON, Bermuda, October 1, 2012 - Signet Jewelers Limited ("Signet") (NYSE and LSE: SIG), the largest specialty retail jeweler in the US and UK, made the following remarks at its New York IR Day held today.
"We are now about two thirds of the way through the quarter and our performance is in line with the guidance of same store sales in the low to mid single digit range for the quarter that we gave on our last earnings call, and we remain comfortable with achieving our objectives for the year." Management also stated that "this year we expect to generate free cash flow of over $220 million;" "we have a year-end cash target of 7% to 9% of sales;" "we plan to open 60-70 stores in the US next year;" and that "we are committed to increasing margins in all our businesses and continue to set new records. While not specifying a time frame, we believe our next key milestone is to achieve an operating margin of 15% or better."
