PHILADELPHIA, PA – (November 29, 2012) – Five Below, Inc. (Nasdaq: FIVE) today announced financial results for the thirteen weeks and thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2012.

Operating income increased to $1.8 million from $0.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2011.

The Company opened 17 new stores and ended the quarter with 243 stores in 18 states, an increase of 29% from the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2011.

 

   

Net interest expense increased to $0.6 million from $6,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2011. The increase in net interest expense resulted from a $100 million term loan entered into in the second quarter of fiscal 2012, of which $65.5 million has been repaid subsequent to the completion of the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”) on July 24, 2012.

Adjusted net income, which excludes the impact of the founders’ transaction in both periods (see GAAP/Non-GAAP reconciliation table), was $1.6 million compared to $0.6 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2011.

 

   

U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, diluted earnings per common share was $0.01 compared to a loss of $(0.22) per share in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 and includes GAAP adjustments for income attributable to participating securities in fiscal 2012 and GAAP adjustments for the potential impact of the Company’s Series A 8% Convertible Preferred Stock cumulative dividends in fiscal 2011. Adjusted diluted income per common share, which is adjusted net income on an adjusted diluted weighted average common shares outstanding basis (see GAAP/Non-GAAP reconciliation table), was $0.03 compared to $0.01 in the third quarter of fiscal 2011.

Thomas Vellios, Co-Founder, President and CEO, stated: “We are pleased to have delivered strong third quarter results. Our top-line performance combined with our disciplined operating model drove adjusted net income to a level more than double that of the year ago period.”

Mr. Vellios added, “Our thoughts go out to the millions of people affected by the devastation brought about by Hurricane Sandy. While our sales and operations at the beginning of the fourth quarter were impacted by this event and its aftermath, our most important shopping days of the year lie ahead. With our trend-right merchandise at extremely compelling price points, and the wide array of exciting and affordable gift choices offered, we are excited about the holiday season and are well-positioned as a shopping destination of choice for our customers.”

For the thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2012:

 

   

Net sales increased by 43.2% to $245.2 million from $171.3 million in the comparable period in fiscal 2011; comparable store sales increased by 9.2%.

 

   

Operating income was $4.6 million as compared to $6.1 million in the comparable period in fiscal 2011. Adjusted operating income, which excludes the impact of the founders’ transaction in both periods (see GAAP/Non-GAAP reconciliation table), increased 109% to $13.9 million from $6.6 million in the comparable period in fiscal 2011.

 

   

The Company opened 51 new stores compared to 47 net new stores opened in the comparable period in fiscal 2011.

 

   

Net interest expense increased to $1.8 million from $8,000 in the corresponding period of fiscal 2011. The increase in net interest expense resulted from a $100 million term loan entered into in the second quarter of fiscal 2012, of which $65.5 million has been repaid subsequent to the completion of the Company’s IPO on July 24, 2012.

 

   

Loss on debt extinguishment was $1.6 million for the thirty-nine week period of fiscal 2012 and was the result of a write-off of deferred financing costs in connection with the partial repayment of the Company’s term loan.

 

   

Net income was $0.8 million compared to $3.7 million in the corresponding period of fiscal 2011. Adjusted net income, which excludes the impact of the founders’ transaction in both periods (see GAAP/Non-GAAP reconciliation table), was $6.1 million compared to $4.0 million in the corresponding period of fiscal 2011.

 

   

GAAP diluted loss per common share was $(2.21) compared to $(0.51) in the corresponding period of fiscal 2011 and includes dividends paid to preferred and unvested restricted shareholders in fiscal 2012 and GAAP adjustments for the potential impact of the Company’s Series A 8% Convertible Preferred Stock cumulative dividends in fiscal 2011. Adjusted diluted income per common share, which is adjusted net income on an adjusted diluted weighted average common shares outstanding basis (see GAAP/Non-GAAP reconciliation table), was $0.11 compared to $0.08 in the corresponding period of fiscal 2011.

Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2012 Outlook:

Excluding $0.9 million, or $0.02 per adjusted diluted share in tax-effected expenses related to the founders’ transaction, adjusted net income is expected to be approximately $19 million to $20 million, or $0.35 to $0.37 per diluted share based on estimated adjusted diluted weighted average common shares outstanding of approximately 54.4 million.

For fiscal 2012, net sales are expected to be in the range of $412 million to $415 million based on opening 52 new stores for the full year and assuming a 7% increase in comparable store sales. GAAP net income is expected to be in the range of $19 million to $20 million, with a GAAP diluted loss per common share of $(1.28) to $(1.31) (which includes the impact of $65.4 million of dividends paid to preferred and unvested restricted shareholders) on approximately 35.4 million estimated weighted average common shares outstanding. Excluding $6.5 million, or $0.12 per adjusted diluted share in tax-effected expenses related to the founders’ transaction, adjusted net income is expected to be in the range of $26 million to $27 million, or $0.47 to $0.49 per diluted share based on estimated adjusted diluted weighted average common shares outstanding of approximately 54.3 million.

Non-GAAP Information

This press release includes non-GAAP adjusted operating income, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted weighted average common shares outstanding and adjusted diluted income per common share, each a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company has reconciled these non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in a table accompanying this release. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures not only provide its management with comparable financial data for internal financial analysis but also provide meaningful supplemental information to investors. Specifically, these non-GAAP financial measures allow investors to better understand the performance of the Company’s business and facilitate a meaningful evaluation of its quarterly and fiscal year 2012 diluted income per common share and actual results on a comparable basis with its quarterly and fiscal year 2011 results. In evaluating these non-GAAP financial measures, investors should be aware that in the future the Company may incur expenses or be involved in transactions that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. The Company’s presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed to imply that its future results will be unaffected by any such adjustments. The Company has provided this information as a means to evaluate the results of its ongoing operations. Other companies in the Company’s industry may calculate these items differently than it does. Each of these measures is not a measure of performance under GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP.

Forward-Looking Statements:

This news release includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 as contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which reflect management’s current views and estimates regarding the Company’s industry, business strategy, goals and expectations concerning its market position, future operations, margins, profitability, capital expenditures, liquidity and capital resources and other financial and operating information. Investors can identify these statements by the fact that they use words such as “anticipate,”

“assume,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “future” and similar terms and phrases. The Company cannot assure investors that future developments affecting the Company will be those that it has anticipated. Actual results may differ materially from these expectations due to risks relating to the Company’s strategy and expansion plans, the availability of suitable new store locations, risks that consumer spending may decline and that U.S. and global macroeconomic conditions may worsen, risks related to the Company’s continued retention of its senior management and other key personnel, risks relating to changes in consumer preferences and economic conditions, risks relating to the Company’s distribution centers, quality or safety concerns about the Company’s merchandise, events that may affect the Company’s vendors, increased competition from other retailers, risks relating to trade restrictions, risks associated with leasing substantial amounts of space, and other factors that are set forth in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including risk factors contained in the final prospectus relating to the IPO dated July 18, 2012 filed with the SEC and available at www.sec.gov. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if any of the Company’s assumptions prove incorrect, the Company’s actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement made by the Company in this news release speaks only as of the date on which the Company makes it. Factors or events that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company to predict all of them. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by any applicable securities laws.
