Signet Jewelers Tour

Signet’s sales are seasonal, with the first quarter slightly exceeding 20% of annual sales, the second and third quarters each approximating 20% and the fourth quarter accounting for almost 40% of annual sales, with December being by far the most important month of the year. In Fiscal 2015, the average number of full-time employees was 28,949. Signet usually employs a limited number of temporary employees during its fourth quarter.
