Hello,

I seem to be stuck with these 2 particular problems. Please kindly help me get unstuck if possible.

1. Compare ratios of Tiffany (TIF) and Signet Jewelers (SIG) based on the 2017 Year-end financials. (Signet owns Kaye Jewelers, Zales, Jared Galleria of Jewelry among other retail jewelers)

Calculate the following for each company:

TIF

SIG

Gross margin %

EBITDA

EBITDA margin

Net income margin

S,G&A as a percent of sales

Inventory turns

Inventory days

Capex per store

2. When you compare the ratios of TIF and SIG, what conclusions can you draw about these two companies? e.g. product pricing, marketing strategy, condition of stores, etc.

professor did not give us the financials. He states they can be easily googled however I couldnt find it for Tiffany (TIF) or Signet Jewelers (SIG). Can you please help
