Forecasted non-GAAP operating income provided above excludes potential non-recurring charges. However, given the potential impact of non-recurring charges to the GAAP operating income, we cannot provide forecasted GAAP operating income or the probable significance of such items without unreasonable efforts. As such, we do not present a reconciliation of forecasted non-GAAP operating income to corresponding GAAP operating income.
The Company's fourth quarter and Fiscal 2022 Outlook is based on the following assumptions:
- 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.
- 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 . - The Company now expects to close approximately 75 stores in Fiscal 2022 and open approximately 85, primarily in highly efficient Banter by Piercing Pagoda formats.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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. Please see disclosures within the Safe Harbor Statement for other risk factors.
- 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.

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations
The following information provides reconciliations of the most directly 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 useful supplementary information to management and investors in assessing the operating performance of our business.
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 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.
In discussing financial results, the Company refers to free cash flow that 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 the non-prime in-house finance 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 does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary purposes.
