Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Description of Business

Five Below, Inc. (collectively referred to herein with its wholly owned subsidiary as the "Company") is a specialty value retailer offering merchandise targeted at the tween and teen demographic. The Company offers an edited assortment of products, with most priced at $5 and below.

The Company’s edited assortment of products includes select brands and licensed merchandise. The Company believes its merchandise is readily available, and that there are a number of potential vendors that could be utilized, if necessary, under approximately the same terms the Company is currently receiving; thus, it is not dependent on a single vendor or a group of vendors.

The Company is incorporated in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and, as of May 2, 2020, operated in 36 states that include Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, West Virginia, North Carolina, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, Georgia, Texas, Tennessee, Maine, Alabama, Kentucky, Kansas, Florida, South Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana, Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Minnesota, California, Arkansas, Iowa, Nebraska, and Arizona. As of May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019, the Company operated 920 stores and 789 stores, respectively, each operating under the name “Five Below”, and sells merchandise on the internet, through the Company's fivebelow.com e-commerce website.

(b)    Impact of COVID-19

The outbreak of the coronavirus (or COVID-19) has been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization, has significantly disrupted businesses around the world, and has adversely impacted the Company’s business operations and results of operations for the first quarter of 2020. On March 13, 2020, the President of the United States declared a national emergency as a result of the outbreak in the United States. Federal, state and local governments and private entities have mandated various restrictions, including travel restrictions, restrictions on public gatherings, stay at home orders and advisories, and quarantining of people who may have been exposed to the virus. Such mandates have required reduction of operating hours and forced temporary closures of certain retailers and other businesses. It is impossible to predict the effect and ultimate impact of the pandemic as the situation continues to evolve.

As a result of these restrictions and out of concern for its customers and employees, the Company temporarily closed all of its stores as of March 20, 2020. The Company began reopening its stores at the end of April in compliance with federal, state and local requirements. As a result of the temporary store closures, the Company withheld store rent for the closure period. The Company has been actively negotiating with its landlords on rent deferrals and abatements related to this closure period and has resumed rent payments for reopened locations. Although the Company expects to favorably resolve these negotiations with its landlords, there can be no assurances in that regard, and all or some of these landlords could claim the Company’s failure to pay rent is a default under its leases. If such claims were made and a significant number of such claims were to prevail, this could have a material adverse impact on the Company's business, financial condition, profitability and cash flows, including future growth.

As of May 2, 2020, 111 stores had reopened to the general public, and as of the date of this filing, approximately 90% of our stores have been reopened to the general public. Additionally, the Company launched a new service, offering curbside pick-up where stores are not otherwise permitted to be open to the public.

While the ultimate health and economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is highly uncertain, the Company expects that its business operations and results of operations, including net sales, earnings and cash flows, will be materially impacted for the foreseeable future, as a result of:

•temporary closure of Company stores;

• decreased customer traffic in stores, including, without limitation, as the result of limitations on the number of persons permitted in stores at one time by certain local and state regulations;

• uncertainty of the extent to which customers will maintain purchases through our e-commerce website and through curbside pickup (where stores remain closed to the public);

• changes in consumer confidence and consumer spending habits, including spending for the merchandise that the Company sells, and negative trends in consumer purchasing patterns due to changes in consumers’ disposable income, credit availability and debt levels;

• disruption to the Company’s supply chain including the manufacturing, supply, distribution, transportation and delivery of products; and

7

• a slowdown in the U.S. and global economies, and an uncertain global economic outlook or a potential credit crisis.

To seek to mitigate the effects of the pandemic and to create financial flexibility, the Company has taken the following actions:

• a majority of its store and distribution center employees were furloughed in March and the Company covered the cost of health benefits for such furloughed employees through the end of May;

• the Company implemented a voluntary temporary base salary reduction of 50% for Joel Anderson, its Chief Executive Officer, and a 25% base salary reduction for the remainder of the executive leadership team that reports into Mr. Anderson;

• its Board of Directors elected to forgo its quarterly cash retainers for the first quarter of 2020;

• the Company implemented a temporary pay reduction for all salaried corporate associates and certain field and supply chain leadership and delayed annual salary increases for corporate associates;

• the Company elected to defer the payment of the employer's portion of FICA taxes as allowed by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security ("CARES") Act;

• the Company implemented significant non-payroll expense reductions, including advertising, occupancy and other store operating expenses, distribution and corporate office operating expenses, as well as professional and consulting fees;

• the Company temporarily ceased paying rent on all closed store locations starting in April, is paying rent going forward in connection with store re-openings and plans to negotiate with its landlords on rent adjustments where appropriate for such stores;

• the Company cancelled certain vendor orders and delayed receipts on others in order to manage inventory levels, and extended payment terms for product and non-product vendors;

• the Company significantly reduced its 2020 capital expenditure budget, including reducing the number of new stores to be opened in 2020 and delaying purchase and construction of a new Midwest distribution center; and

• the Company amended its credit facility and increased its line of credit from $50 million to $225 million.

(c)    Fiscal Year

The Company operates on a 52/53-week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to January 31. References to "fiscal year 2020" or "fiscal 2020" refer to the period from February 2, 2020 to January 30, 2021, which is a 52-week fiscal year. References to "fiscal year 2019" or "fiscal 2019" refer to the period from February 3, 2019 to February 1, 2020, which is a 52-week fiscal year. The fiscal quarters ended May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019 refer to the thirteen weeks ended as of those dates.

(d)    Basis of Presentation

The consolidated balance sheets as of May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019, the consolidated statements of operations for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019, the consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019 have been prepared by the Company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim reporting and are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the aforementioned financial statements include all known adjustments (which consist primarily of normal, recurring accruals, estimates and assumptions that impact the financial statements) necessary to present fairly the financial position at the balance sheet dates and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods ended May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019. The balance sheet as of February 1, 2020, presented herein, has been derived from the audited balance sheet included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2019 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 19, 2020 and referred to herein as the “Annual Report,” but does not include all annual disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2020 and footnotes thereto included in the Annual Report. The consolidated results of operations for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the consolidated operating results for the year ending January 30, 2021 or any other period. The Company's business is seasonal and as a result, the Company's net sales fluctuate from quarter to quarter. Net sales are usually highest in the fourth fiscal quarter due to the year-end holiday season.

(e)    Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases.” ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to record assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. The updated guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. On February 3, 2019, the Company adopted this pronouncement on a modified retrospective basis and applied the new standard to all leases. As a result, comparative financial information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which includes, among other things, the ability to carry forward the existing lease classification. The Company also elected the practical expedient related to land easements, allowing the Company to carry forward its accounting treatment for land easements on existing agreements. At adoption, the new standard had a material impact on the Company's balance sheets resulting in an increase in net assets and liabilities of approximately $618 million, as the Company has a significant number of leases for its stores. Although the standard impacts the treatment of certain initial direct leases costs that were previously capitalizable, it did not materially impact the Company's consolidated statements of operations and had no impact on the Company's cash flows.

See Note 3 ‘‘Leases’’ for additional information.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, "Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract." ASU 2018-15 requires implementation costs incurred by customers in cloud computing arrangements to be deferred over the noncancelable term of the cloud computing arrangements plus any optional renewal periods (1) that are reasonably certain to be exercised by the customer or (2) for which exercise of the renewal option is controlled by the cloud service provider. The effective date of this pronouncement is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. The standard can be adopted either using the prospective or retrospective transition approach. During the thirteen weeks ended November 3, 2018, the Company adopted the pronouncement using the prospective transition method and it did not have a significant impact to the Company's financial statements.

In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, "Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses," which addresses certain fair value disclosure requirements, the measurement basis under the measurement alternative and which equity securities have to be remeasured at historical exchange rates. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Targeted Transition Relief," which gives entities the ability to irrevocably elect the fair value option in Subtopic 825-10 for certain existing financial assets upon transition to ASU 2016-13. The effective date of the standards will be for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The new standard will be applied using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the effective date to align the Company's credit loss methodology with the new standard. The Company adopted the standard on February 2, 2020. The adoption did not impact the Company's financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting" ("ASU 2020-04"). The pronouncement provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the current guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The guidance was effective upon issuance and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated on or before December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2020-04 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

(f)    Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the carrying amount of property and equipment, valuation allowances for inventories, income taxes, share-based compensation expense and the incremental borrowing rate utilized in operating lease liabilities.

(g)    Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified using the following hierarchy, which is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation at the measurement date:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs, other than Level 1, that are either directly or indirectly observable.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs developed using the Company’s estimates and assumptions which reflect those that market participants would use.

The classification of fair value measurements within the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement.

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash equivalents, short-term investment securities, accounts payable, and borrowings, if any, under a line of credit. The Company believes that: (1) the carrying value of cash equivalents and accounts payable are representative of their respective fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments; and (2) the carrying value of the borrowings, if any, under the line of credit approximates fair value because the line of credit’s interest rates vary with market interest rates. Under the fair value hierarchy, the fair market values of the short-term investments in corporate bonds are level 1 while the short-term investments in municipal bonds are level 2. The fair market values of level 2 instruments are determined by management with the assistance of a third-party pricing service. Since quoted prices in active markets for identical assets are not available, these prices are determined by the third-party pricing service using observable market information such as quotes from less active markets and quoted prices of similar securities.

As of May 2, 2020, February 1, 2020, and May 4, 2019, the Company had cash equivalents of $54.0 million, $200.1 million and $188.0 million, respectively. The Company’s cash equivalents consist of credit and debit card receivables, money market funds, and corporate bonds with original maturities of 90 days or less. Fair value for cash equivalents was determined based on level 1 inputs.

As of May 2, 2020, February 1, 2020, and May 4, 2019, the Company's short-term investment securities are classified as held-to-maturity since the Company has the intent and ability to hold the investments to maturity. Such securities are carried at amortized cost plus accrued interest and consist of the following (in thousands):

	As of May 2, 2020
	Amortized Cost		Gross Unrealized Gains		Gross Unrealized Losses		Fair Market Value
Short-term:
Corporate bonds	$	69,220	$	—	$	33	$	69,187

(2) Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Revenue Transactions

Revenue from store operations is recognized at the point of sale when control of the product is transferred to the customer at such time. Internet sales, through the Company's fivebelow.com e-commerce website, are recognized when the consumer receives the product as control transfers upon delivery. Returns subsequent to the period end are immaterial; accordingly, no reserve has been recorded. Gift card sales to customers are initially recorded as liabilities and recognized as sales upon redemption for merchandise or as breakage revenue in proportion to the pattern of redemption of the gift cards by the customer in net sales.

The transaction price for the Company’s sales is based on the item’s stated price. To the extent that the Company charges customers for shipping and handling on e-commerce sales, the Company records such amounts in net sales. Shipping and handling costs, which include fulfillment and shipping costs related to the Company's e-commerce operations, are included in costs of goods sold. The Company has chosen the pronouncement's policy election which allows it to exclude all sales taxes from net sales in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

(3) Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at the inception of a contract. Operating lease assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of the remaining future minimum lease payments. As the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable for the Company's leases, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of future lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate represents a significant judgment and is determined based on an analysis of the Company's synthetic credit rating, prevailing financial market conditions, corporate bond yields, treasury bond yields, and the effect of collateralization. The operating lease assets also include lease payments made before commencement and exclude lease incentives.

The Company’s real estate leases typically contain options that permit renewals for additional periods of up to five years. For real estate leases, except for renewals that generally take the lease to a ten-year term, the options to renew are not considered reasonably certain at lease commencement because the Company reevaluates each lease on a regular basis to consider the economic and strategic benefits of exercising the renewal options, and regularly opens, relocates or closes stores to align with its operating strategy. Therefore, generally, except for renewals that take the lease to a ten-year term, the renewal option periods are not included within the lease term and the associated payments are not included in the measurement of the operating lease asset and operating lease liability as the exercise of such options is not reasonably certain. The Company’s operating lease agreements, including assumed renewals, which are generally those that take the lease to a ten-year term, expire through fiscal 2034. Similarly, renewal options are not included in the lease term for non-real estate leases because they are not considered reasonably certain of being exercised at lease commencement. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheets and lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the short-term lease.

For certain real estate leases, the Company accounts for lease components and nonlease components as a single lease component. Certain real estate leases require additional payments for reimbursement of real estate taxes, common area maintenance and insurance as well as payments based on sales volume, all of which are expensed as incurred as variable lease costs. Other real estate leases contain one fixed lease payment that includes real estate taxes, common area maintenance and insurance. These fixed payments are considered part of the lease payment and included in the operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities.

During the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020, the Company committed to 31 new store leases with average terms of approximately 10 years that have future minimum lease payments of approximately $56.6 million.

All of the Company's leases are classified as operating leases and the associated assets and liabilities are presented as separate captions in the consolidated balance sheets. As of May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019, the weighted average remaining lease term for the Company's operating leases is 8.1 years and 7.8 years, respectively, and the weighted average discount rate is 6.5% and 7.6%, respectively.

The following table is a summary of the Company's components for net lease costs (in thousands):

(1) Included within operating activities in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

(4) (Loss) Income Per Common Share

Basic (loss) income per common share amounts are calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted (loss) income per common share amounts are calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and include the dilutive impact of exercised stock options as well as assumed vesting of restricted stock awards and shares currently available for purchase under the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan, using the treasury stock method. Performance-based restricted stock units are considered contingently issuable shares for diluted income per common share purposes and the dilutive impact, if any, is not included in the weighted average shares until the performance conditions are met.

The following table reconciles net (loss) income and the weighted average common shares outstanding used in the computations of basic and diluted (loss) income per common share (in thousands, except for share and per share data):

	Thirteen Weeks Ended
	May 2, 2020			May 4, 2019
Numerator:
Net (loss) income	$	(50,582	)	$	25,662
Denominator:
Weighted average common shares outstanding - basic	55,723,045			55,899,324
Dilutive impact of options, restricted stock units and employee stock purchase plan	—			369,262
Weighted average common shares outstanding - diluted	55,723,045			56,268,586
Per common share:
Basic (loss) income per common share	$	(0.91	)	$	0.46
Diluted (loss) income per common share	$	(0.91	)	$	0.46

For thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020, all common stock equivalents related to outstanding stock options and unvested restricted units were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share, as their impact would have been anti-dilutive due to the Company's net loss for the period.

12

The aforementioned excluded shares do not reflect the impact of any incremental repurchases under the treasury stock method.

(5) Line of Credit

On March 20, 2020, the Company exercised its right under the Fourth Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, executed on May 10, 2017 (the "Prior Credit Agreement') to increase the aggregate commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility from $20 million to $50 million.

On April 24, 2020, the Company entered into a Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Fifth Restated Credit Agreement”), among the Company, 1616 Holdings, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("1616 Holdings"), and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as administrative agent (the “Agent”), and other lenders. The Fifth Restated Credit Agreement amends and restates the Prior Credit Agreement which governed the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Fifth Restated Credit Agreement includes a secured asset-based revolving line of credit in the amount of up to $225.0 million (the “Amended Revolving Credit Facility”). Pursuant to the Fifth Restated Credit Agreement, advances under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility are tied to a borrowing base consisting of eligible credit card receivables and inventory, as reduced by certain reserves in effect from time to time. The Amended Revolving Credit Facility expires on the earliest to occur of (i) April 24, 2023 or (ii) an event of default. The Amended Revolving Credit Facility may be increased by up to $150.0 million, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining commitments from one or more lenders. The entire amount of the Amended Revolving Credit Facility is available for the issuance of letters of credit and allows for swingline loans.

The Fifth Restated Credit Agreement provides that the interest rate payable on borrowings shall be, at the Company’s option, a per annum rate equal to (a) a base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.00% to 1.25% or (b) a LIBOR rate plus a margin ranging from 2.00% to 2.25%. Letter of credit fees will range from 2.00% to 2.25%. The interest rate and letter of credit fees under the Fifth Restated Credit Agreement are subject to an increase of 2.00% per annum upon an event of default.

The Fifth Restated Credit Agreement contains customary covenants that limit, absent lender approval, the ability of Company and certain of its affiliates to, among other things, pay cash dividends, incur debt, create liens and encumbrances, redeem or repurchase stock, enter into certain acquisition transactions or transactions with affiliates, merge, dissolve, repay certain indebtedness, change the nature of Company’s business, enter sale or leaseback transactions, make investments or dispose of assets. In some cases, these restrictions are subject to certain negotiated exceptions or permit Company to undertake otherwise restricted activities if it satisfies certain required conditions. In addition, the Company will be required to maintain availability of not less than (i) 15% of the lesser of (x) aggregate commitments under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility and (y) the borrowing base (the "loan cap") prior to a stepdown date (as described below) and (ii) 10% of the loan cap after the stepdown date. The stepdown date is the first date occurring after both (i) the date that 75% of the number of stores as of the closing date of the Amended Revolving Credit Facility have reopened ("store opening date") and (ii) the date occurring at least six months after the store reopening date on which the fixed charge coverage ratio is at least 1.00 to 1.00.

If there exists an event of default or availability under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility is less than 15% of the loan cap, amounts in any of the loan parties’ or subsidiary guarantors' designated deposit accounts will be transferred daily into a blocked account held by the Agent and applied to reduce outstanding amounts under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility (the “Cash Dominion Event”), so long as (i) such event of default has not been waived and/or (ii) until availability has exceeded 15% of the loan cap for sixty (60) consecutive calendar days (provided that such ability to discontinue the Cash Dominion Event shall be limited to two times during the term of the Agreement).

The Fifth Restated Credit Agreement also contains a provision stating that the Company cannot borrow in excess of $50 million under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility at any time the amount of the consolidated cash and cash equivalents of the loan parties (excluding certain long-term investments and certain other items) exceeds $50 million.

The Fifth Restated Credit Agreement contains customary events of default including, among other things, failure to pay obligations when due, initiation of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, defaults on certain other indebtedness, change of control, incurrence of certain material judgments that are not stayed, satisfied, bonded or discharged within 30 days, certain ERISA events, invalidity of the credit documents, and violation of affirmative and negative covenants or breach of representations and warranties set forth in the Fifth Restated Credit Agreement. Amounts under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility's may become due upon events of default (subject to any applicable grace or cure periods). Under the Fifth Restated Credit Agreement, all obligations under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility continue to be guaranteed by 1616 Holdings, Inc. and are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and 1616 Holdings, Inc.

During the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020, the Company borrowed and repaid approximately $50 million from its Amended Revolving Credit Facility. As of May 2, 2020, the Company had no borrowings under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility and had approximately $158.9 million available on the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement.

13

All obligations under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of the Company's assets and are guaranteed by the Company's subsidiary. As of May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019, the Company was in compliance with the covenants applicable to it under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility.

(6) Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

Other Contractual Commitments

As of May 2, 2020, the Company has other purchase commitments of approximately $6.2 million consisting of purchase agreements for materials that will be used in the construction of new stores.

During the thirteen weeks ended November 2, 2019, the Company acquired land in Conroe, Texas, to build an approximately 860,000 square foot distribution center to support the Company's anticipated growth. The total cost of the land and building is expected to be approximately $56 million, of which approximately $43 million has been paid through May 2, 2020. The Company expects to occupy the distribution center in Conroe, Texas in 2020.

Contingencies

Legal Matters

The Company is subject to various proceedings, lawsuits, disputes, and claims arising in the ordinary course of the Company's business. Many of these actions raise complex factual and legal issues and are subject to uncertainties. Actions filed against the Company from time to time include commercial, intellectual property, customer, and employment actions, including class action lawsuits. The plaintiffs in some actions seek unspecified damages or injunctive relief, or both. Actions are in various procedural stages, and some are covered in part by insurance. The Company cannot predict with assurance the outcome of actions brought against the Company. Accordingly, adverse developments, settlements, or resolutions may occur and negatively impact income in the quarter of such development, settlement or resolution. If a potential loss arising from these lawsuits, claims and pending actions is probable and reasonably estimable, the Company records the estimated liability based on circumstances and assumptions existing at the time. Although the outcome of these and other claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

(7) Share-Based Compensation

Equity Incentive Plan

Pursuant to the Company's 2002 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), the Company’s board of directors may grant stock options, restricted shares, and restricted stock units to officers, directors, key employees and professional service providers. The Plan, as amended, allows for the issuance of up to a total of 7.6 million shares under the Plan. As of May 2, 2020, approximately 3.2 million stock options, restricted shares, or restricted stock units were available for grant.

Common Stock Options

All stock options have a term not greater than ten years. Stock options vest and become exercisable in whole or in part, in accordance with vesting conditions set by the Company’s board of directors. Options granted to date generally vest over four years from the date of grant.

Stock option activity during the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020 was as follows:

	Options Outstanding		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (in years)
Balance as of February 1, 2020	231,525		$	30.92	4.1
Forfeited	(993	)	39.30
Exercised	(2,136	)	30.62
Balance as of May 2, 2020	228,396		30.89		4.1
Exercisable as of May 2, 2020	228,396		$	31.07	4.1

14

The fair value of each option award granted to employees, including outside directors, is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. There were no stock options granted during the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020.

Restricted Stock Units and Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units

All restricted stock units ("RSU") and performance-based restricted stock units ("PSU") vest in accordance with vesting conditions set by the compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors. RSUs granted to date have vesting periods ranging from less than one year to five years from the date of grant. PSUs granted to date have vesting periods ranging from one year to five years from the date of grant, including grants that have a cumulative three year performance period, subject to satisfaction of the applicable performance goals established for the respective grant. The Company periodically assesses the probability of achievement of the performance criteria and adjusts the amount of compensation expense accordingly. Compensation is recognized over the vesting period and adjusted for the probability of achievement of the performance criteria.

RSU and PSU activity during the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020 was as follows:

	Restricted Stock Units				Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units
	Number		Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value		Number		Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value
Non-vested balance as of February 1, 2020	250,352		$	79.37	357,166		$	66.96
Granted	97,603		90.87		110,837		94.88
Vested	(77,149	)	55.68		(127,622	)	39.89
Forfeited	(8,358	)	85.39		(14,974	)	67.60
Non-vested balance as of May 2, 2020	262,448		$	90.42	325,407		$	87.06

In connection with the vesting of RSUs and PSUs during the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020, the Company withheld 46,532 shares with an aggregate value of $3.3 million in satisfaction of minimum tax withholding obligations due upon vesting.

In connection with the vesting of RSUs and PSUs during the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2019, the Company withheld 79,256 shares with an aggregate value of $9.9 million in satisfaction of minimum tax withholding obligations due upon vesting.

As of May 2, 2020, there was $19.4 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements (including stock options, RSUs and PSUs) granted under the Plan. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average vesting period of 3.1 years.

Share Repurchase Program

On March 20, 2018, the Company's board of directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to $100 million of the Company's common stock through March 31, 2021, on the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. In fiscal 2019, the Company purchased 337,552 shares under this program at an aggregate cost of approximately $36.9 million, or an average price of $109.27 per share. During the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020, the Company purchased 137,023 shares under this program at an aggregate cost of approximately $12.7 million, or an average price of $92.42 per share. Since approval of the share repurchase program in March 2018, the Company has purchased approximately 500,000 shares for an aggregate cost of approximately $50 million. There can be no assurances that any additional repurchases will be completed, or as to the timing or amount of any repurchases. The share repurchase program may be modified or discontinued at any time.

(8) Income Taxes

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act") was enacted and signed into law. The CARES Act includes a number of income tax changes, including, but not limited to, (i) permitting taxpayers a five-year carryback period for net operating losses arising in tax years beginning after January 30, 2016 and before January 1, 2021. (ii) temporarily suspending the 80% of taxable income limitation on the use of NOLs for tax years beginning before January 1, 2021, thereby permitting corporate taxpayers to use NOLs to fully offset taxable income in these years regardless of the year in which the net operating loss arose, (iii) accelerating AMT tax credit carryover refunds, (iv) temporarily increasing the allowable business interest deduction from 30% to 50% of adjusted taxable income, and (v) providing a technical correction for depreciation as relates to the definition of qualified improvement property. As a result of the CARES Act, the Company recorded an income tax receivable for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020.

The following table summarizes the Company’s income tax (benefit) expense and effective tax rates for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019 (dollars in thousands):

	Thirteen Weeks Ended
	May 2, 2020			May 4, 2019
(Loss) income before income taxes	$	(72,053	)	$	26,156
Income tax (benefit) expense	$	(21,471	)	$	494
Effective tax rate	29.8		%	1.9		%

The effective tax rates for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019 were based on the Company’s forecasted annualized effective tax rates and were adjusted for discrete items that occurred within the periods presented. The effective tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020 was higher than the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2019 primarily due to discrete items, which includes the impact of ASU 2016-09, "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting," with respect to the requirement to recognize excess income tax benefits or deficiencies as income tax benefit or expense in the consolidated statements of operations rather than as additional paid-in capital in the consolidated balance sheets, and the impact of the CARES Act.

The Company had no material accrual for uncertain tax positions or interest and/or penalties related to income taxes on the Company’s balance sheets as of May 2, 2020, February 1, 2020, or May 4, 2019 and has not recognized any material uncertain tax positions or interest and/or penalties related to income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020 or May 4, 2019.

The Company files a federal income tax return as well as state tax returns. The Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for the fiscal years ended February 3, 2018 and thereafter remain subject to examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. State returns are filed in various state jurisdictions, as appropriate, with varying statutes of limitation and remain subject to examination for varying periods up to three years to four years depending on the state.

Overview

Five Below, Inc. (collectively referred to herein with its wholly owned subsidiary as "we," "us," or "our") is a rapidly growing specialty value retailer offering a broad range of trend-right, high-quality merchandise targeted at the tween and teen customer. We offer a dynamic, edited assortment of exciting products, with most priced at $5 and below, including select brands and licensed merchandise across our category worlds. As of May 2, 2020, we operated 920 stores in 36 states. In fall 2018, we began offering an expanded product assortment with prices exceeding $5 in a select number of our stores (with such product offerings branded as "Ten Below" or "JUST WOW"). In addition, in fall 2019, we rolled out new pricing to our full chain, increasing prices on certain products over $5. Most of our products remain at $5 and below.

We also offer our merchandise on the internet, through our fivebelow.com e-commerce website. All e-commerce sales, which includes shipping and handling revenue, are included in net sales. Beginning with the third fiscal quarter of 2016, when we launched our e-commerce channel, all e-commerce sales are included in comparable sales. Our e-commerce expenses will have components classified as both cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses.

Effect of the COVID-19 Pandemic on our Business and Operations

The outbreak of the coronavirus (or COVID-19) has been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization, has significantly disrupted businesses around the world, and has adversely impacted our business operations and results of operations for the first quarter of 2020. On March 13, 2020, the President of the United States declared a national emergency as a result of the outbreak in the United States. Federal, state and local governments and private entities have mandated various restrictions, including travel restrictions, restrictions on public gatherings, stay at home orders and advisories, and quarantining of people who may have been exposed to the virus. Such mandates have required reduction of operating hours and forced temporary closures of non-essential retailers and other businesses. It is impossible to predict the effect and ultimate impact of the pandemic as the situation continues to evolve.

As a result of these restrictions and out of concern for our customers and employees, we temporarily closed all of our stores as of March 20, 2020. We began reopening our stores at the end of April in compliance with federal, state and local requirements. As a result of the temporary store closures, we withheld store rent for the closure period.  We have been actively negotiating with our landlords on rent deferrals and abatements related to this closure period and have resumed rent payments for reopened locations. Although we expect to favorably resolve these negotiations with our landlords, there can be no assurances in that regard, and all or some of these landlords could claim that our failure to pay rent is a default under our leases. If such claims were made and a significant number of such claims were to prevail, this could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, profitability and cash flows, including our future growth.

As of May 2, 2020, 111 stores had been reopened to the general public and as of the date of this filing, approximately 90% of our stores have now been reopened to the general public. Additionally, we launched a new service, offering curbside pick-up, where stores are not otherwise permitted to be reopen to the public.

While the ultimate health and economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is highly uncertain, we expect that our business operations and results of operations, including our net sales, earnings and cash flows, will be materially impacted for the foreseeable future, as a result of:

• temporary closure of our stores;

• decreased customer traffic in stores, including, without limitation, as the result of limitations on the number of persons permitted in stores at one time by certain local and state regulations;

• uncertainty of the extent to which customers will maintain purchases through our e-commerce website and through curbside pickup (where stores remain closed to the public);

• changes in consumer confidence and consumer spending habits, including spending for the merchandise that we sell, and negative trends in consumer purchasing patterns due to changes in consumers’ disposable income, credit availability and debt levels;

• disruption to our supply chain including the manufacturing, supply, distribution, transportation and delivery of our products; and

17

• a slowdown in the U.S. and global economies, and an uncertain global economic outlook or a potential credit crisis.

To seek to mitigate the effects of the pandemic and to create financial flexibility, we have taken the following actions:

• a majority of our store and distribution center employees were furloughed in March and we covered the cost of health benefits for such furloughed employees through the end of May;

• we implemented a voluntary temporary base salary reduction of 50% for Joel Anderson, our Chief Executive Officer, and a 25% base salary reduction for the remainder of the executive leadership team that reports into Mr. Anderson;

• our Board of Directors elected to forgo its quarterly cash retainers for the first quarter of 2020;

• we implemented a temporary pay reduction for all salaried corporate associates and certain field and supply chain leadership and delayed annual salary increases for corporate associates;

• we elected to defer the payment of the employer's portion of FICA taxes as allowed by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security ("CARES") Act;

• we implemented significant non-payroll expense reductions, including advertising, occupancy and other store operating expenses, distribution and corporate office operating expenses, as well as professional and consulting fees;

• we temporarily ceased paying rent on all closed store locations starting in April, are paying rent going forward in connection with store re-openings and plan to negotiate with our landlords on rent adjustments where appropriate for such stores;

• we cancelled certain vendor orders and delayed receipts on others in order to manage inventory levels, and extended payment terms for product and non-product vendors;

• we significantly reduced our 2020 capital expenditure budget, including reducing the number of new stores to be opened in 2020 and delaying purchase and construction of a new Midwest distribution center; and

• we amended our credit facility and increased our line of credit from $50 million to $225 million.

How We Assess the Performance of Our Business

In assessing the performance of our business, we consider a variety of performance and financial measures. These key measures include net sales, comparable sales, cost of goods sold and gross profit, selling, general and administrative expenses and operating income.

Net Sales

Net sales constitute gross sales net of merchandise returns for damaged or defective goods. Net sales consist of sales from comparable stores, non-comparable stores, and e-commerce, which includes shipping and handling revenue. Revenue from the sale of gift cards is deferred and not included in net sales until the gift cards are redeemed to purchase merchandise or as breakage revenue in proportion to the pattern of redemption of the gift cards by the customer.

Our business is seasonal and as a result, our net sales fluctuate from quarter to quarter. Net sales are usually highest in the fourth fiscal quarter due to the year-end holiday season.

Comparable Sales

Comparable sales include net sales from stores that have been open for at least 15 full months from their opening date, and e-commerce sales. Comparable stores include the following:

• Stores that have been remodeled while remaining open;

• Stores that have been relocated within the same trade area, to a location that is not significantly different in size, in which the new store opens at about the same time as the old store closes; and

• Stores that have expanded, but are not significantly different in size, within their current locations.

18

For stores that are relocated or expanded, the following periods are excluded when calculating comparable sales:

• The period beginning when the closing store receives its last merchandise delivery from one of our distribution centers through:

▪ the last day of the fiscal year in which the store was relocated or expanded (for stores that increased significantly in size); or

▪ the last day of the fiscal month in which the store re-opens (for all other stores); and

• The period beginning on the first anniversary of the date the store received its last merchandise delivery from one of our distribution centers through the first anniversary of the date the store re-opened.

Comparable sales exclude the 53rd week of sales for 53-week fiscal years. In the 52-week fiscal year subsequent to a 53-week fiscal year, we exclude the sales in the non-comparable week from the same-store sales calculation. Due to the 53rd week in fiscal 2017, all comparable sales related to any reporting period during the year ended February 2, 2019 are reported on a restated calendar basis using the National Retail Federation's restated calendar comparing similar weeks.

There may be variations in the way in which some of our competitors and other retailers calculate comparable or “same store” sales. As a result, data in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q regarding our comparable sales may not be comparable to similar data made available by other retailers. Non-comparable sales are comprised of new store sales, sales for stores not open for a full 15 months, and sales from existing store relocation and expansion projects that were temporarily closed (or not receiving deliveries) and not included in comparable sales.

Measuring the change in fiscal year-over-year comparable sales allows us to evaluate how we are performing. Various factors affect comparable sales, including:

• consumer preferences, buying trends and overall economic trends;

• our ability to identify and respond effectively to customer preferences and trends;

• our ability to provide an assortment of high-quality, trend-right and everyday product offerings that generate new and repeat visits to our stores;

• the customer experience we provide in our stores and online;

• the level of traffic near our locations in the power, community and lifestyle centers in which we operate;

• competition;

• changes in our merchandise mix;

• pricing;

• our ability to source and distribute products efficiently;

• the timing of promotional events and holidays;

• the timing of introduction of new merchandise and customer acceptance of new merchandise;

• our opening of new stores in the vicinity of existing stores;

• the number of items purchased per store visit; and

• weather conditions.

Opening new stores is an important part of our growth strategy. As we continue to pursue our growth strategy, we expect that a significant percentage of our net sales will continue to come from new stores not included in comparable sales. Accordingly, comparable sales is only one measure we use to assess the success of our growth strategy.

Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit

Gross profit is equal to our net sales less our cost of goods sold. Gross margin is gross profit as a percentage of our net sales. Cost of goods sold reflects the direct costs of purchased merchandise and inbound freight, as well as shipping and handling costs, store occupancy, distribution and buying expenses. Shipping and handling costs include both internal and third-party fulfillment and shipping costs related to our e-commerce operations. Store occupancy costs include rent, common area maintenance, utilities and property taxes for all store locations. Distribution costs include costs for receiving, processing, warehousing and shipping of merchandise to or from our distribution centers and between store locations. Buying costs include compensation expense and other costs for our internal buying organization, including our merchandising and product development team and our planning and allocation group. These costs are significant and can be expected to continue to increase as our company grows.

The components of our cost of goods sold may not be comparable to the components of cost of goods sold or similar measures of our competitors and other retailers. As a result, data in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q regarding our gross profit and gross margin may not be comparable to similar data made available by our competitors and other retailers.

19

The variable component of our cost of goods sold is higher in higher volume quarters because the variable component of our cost of goods sold generally increases as net sales increase. We regularly analyze the components of gross profit as well as gross margin. Any inability to obtain acceptable levels of initial markups, a significant increase in our use of markdowns, and a significant increase in inventory shrinkage or inability to generate sufficient sales leverage on the store occupancy, distribution and buying components of cost of goods sold could have an adverse impact on our gross profit and results of operations. Changes in the mix of our products may also impact our overall cost of goods sold.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative, or SG&A, expenses are composed of payroll and other compensation, marketing and advertising expense, depreciation and amortization expense and other selling and administrative expenses. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales are usually higher in lower sales volume quarters and lower in higher sales volume quarters.

The components of our SG&A expenses may not be comparable to those of other retailers. We expect that our SG&A expenses will increase in future periods due to our continuing store growth. In addition, any increase in future share-based grants or modifications will increase our share-based compensation expense included in SG&A expenses.

Operating Income

Operating income equals gross profit less SG&A expenses. Operating income excludes interest expense or income, and income tax expense or benefit. We use operating income as an indicator of the productivity of our business and our ability to manage SG&A expenses. Operating income percentage measures operating income as a percentage of our net sales.

Thirteen Weeks Ended May 2, 2020 Compared to the Thirteen Weeks Ended May 4, 2019

Net Sales

Net sales decreased to $200.9 million in the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020 from $364.8 million in the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2019, a decrease of $163.9 million, or 44.9%. The decrease was primarily the result of the impact of COVID-19 as we temporarily closed all of our stores as of March 20, 2020. We began reopening our stores at the end of April in compliance with federal, state and local requirements. This temporary closure resulted in a 51.8% decrease in comparable sales. We plan to open 100 to 120 net new stores in fiscal 2020.

Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit

Cost of goods sold decreased to $180.4 million in the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020 from $244.8 million in the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2019, a decrease of $64.4 million, or 26.3%. The decrease in cost of goods sold was primarily the result of a decrease in merchandise cost of goods, resulting from the decrease in net sales due to the impact of COVID-19 as we temporarily closed all of our stores, partially offset by an increase in store occupancy costs resulting from new store openings.

21

Gross profit decreased to $20.5 million in the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020 from $120.0 million in the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2019, a decrease of $99.5 million, or 82.9%. Gross margin decreased to 10.2% for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020 from 32.9% for the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2019. The decrease in gross margin was primarily the result of an increase as a percentage of net sales in store occupancy costs due to the impact of COVID-19 as we temporarily closed all of our stores while still incurring rent expense.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $92.7 million in the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020 from $95.5 million in the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2019, a decrease of $2.8 million, or 3.0%. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 46.1% in the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020 compared to 26.2% in the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2019. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily the result of a decrease of $6.6 million in store-related expenses due to the impact of COVID-19 including the temporary closure of all of our stores, furloughing of employees, and other non-payroll expense reductions. These decreases were partially offset by a net increase of $3.8 million primarily in fixed corporate-related expenses, which includes the benefit related to the reversal of certain performance-based stock award accruals.

Income Tax (Benefit) Expense

Income tax benefit increased to $21.5 million in the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020 from an income tax expense of $0.5 million in the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2019, an increase of $22.0 million. The increase in income tax benefit from an income tax expense was primarily due to a decrease of $98.2 million in pre-tax income, which resulted in a pre-tax loss, and discrete items, which includes the impact of the CARES Act partially offset by a reduction of the benefit of ASU 2016-09, "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting," with respect to the requirement to recognize excess income tax benefits or deficiencies as income tax benefit or expense in the consolidated statements of operations rather than as additional paid-in capital in the consolidated balance sheets.

Our effective tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020 was 29.8% compared to 1.9% in the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2019. Our effective tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020 was higher than the comparable period primarily due to discrete items, which includes the impact of ASU 2016-09, "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting," and the impact of the CARES Act.

Net (Loss) Income

As a result of the foregoing, we had a net loss of $50.6 million in the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020 compared to $25.7 million of net income in the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2019, a change of $76.3 million or 297.1%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Cash capital expenditures typically vary depending on the timing of new store openings and infrastructure-related investments. We plan to make cash capital expenditures of approximately $200 million in fiscal 2020, which exclude the impact of tenant allowances, and which we expect to fund from cash generated from operations, cash on hand, and, as needed, borrowings under our Amended Revolving Credit Facility. We expect to incur approximately $50 million of our cash capital expenditure budget in fiscal 2020 to construct and open 100 to 120 net new stores, with the remainder projected to be spent on our distribution facilities (existing and new), store relocations and remodels and our corporate infrastructure.

Our primary working capital requirements are for the purchase of store inventory and payment of payroll, rent, other store operating costs and distribution costs. Our working capital requirements fluctuate during the year, rising in the third and fourth fiscal quarters as we take title to increasing quantities of inventory in anticipation of our peak, year-end holiday shopping season in the fourth fiscal quarter. Fluctuations in working capital are also driven by the timing of new store openings.

22

Historically, we have funded our capital expenditures and working capital requirements during the fiscal year with cash on-hand, net cash provided by operating activities and borrowings under our Amended Revolving Credit Facility, as needed, and we expect that funding to continue. When we have used our Amended Revolving Credit Facility, the amount of indebtedness outstanding under it has tended to be the highest in the beginning of the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. To the extent that we have drawn on the facility, we have paid down the borrowings before the end of the fiscal year with cash generated during our peak selling season in the fourth quarter. Although it is not possible to reliably estimate the duration or severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting financial impact on our results of operations, financial position and liquidity, we have the ability to draw down on our Amended Revolving Credit Facility if and as needed. During the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020, we borrowed and repaid approximately $50 million from our Amended Revolving Credit Facility. As of May 2, 2020, we had no borrowings under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility and had approximately $158.9 million available on the line of credit.

On March 20, 2018, our board of directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to $100 million of our common stock through March 31, 2021, on the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. In fiscal 2019, we purchased 337,552 shares under this program at an aggregate cost of approximately $36.9 million, or an average price of $109.27 per share. During the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020, we purchased 137,023 shares under this program at an aggregate cost of approximately $12.7 million, or an average price of $92.42 per share. Since approval of the share repurchase program in March 2018, we have purchased approximately 500,000 shares for an aggregate cost of approximately $50 million. There can be no assurances that any additional repurchases will be completed, or as to the timing or amount of any repurchases. The share repurchase program may be modified or discontinued at any time.

Based on our growth plans, we believe that our cash position, which includes our cash equivalents and short-term investments, net cash provided by operating activities and availability under our Amended Revolving Credit Facility will be adequate to finance our planned capital expenditures, authorized share repurchases and working capital requirements over the next 12 months and for the foreseeable future thereafter. If cash flows from operations and borrowings under our Amended Revolving Credit Facility are not sufficient or available to meet our requirements, then we will be required to obtain additional equity or debt financing in the future. There can be no assurance that equity or debt financing will be available to us when we need it or, if available, that the terms will be satisfactory to us and not dilutive to our then-current shareholders.

Although, we began reopening stores at the end of April where permitted in compliance with federal, state, and local requirements, any significant reduction in consumer willingness to visit malls and shopping centers or purchase merchandise using curbside pickup where available, levels of consumer spending at our stores or employee willingness to staff our stores or the temporary closure of our stores or distribution centers relating to the pandemic or its impact on the economy, disruptions in the supply chains related to our products or consumer sentiment or health concerns would result in a further loss of sales and profits and other material adverse effects. The extent to which COVID-19 impact our results, financial position and liquidity will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the pandemic and the actions taken to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others.

Cash Flows

A summary of our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities is presented in the following table (in millions):

	Thirteen Weeks Ended
	May 2, 2020			May 4, 2019
Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities	$	(65.3	)	$	20.8
Net cash used in investing activities	(50.0		)	(44.2		)
Net cash used in financing activities	(17.5		)	(7.6		)
Net decrease during period in cash and cash equivalents (1)	$	(132.7	)	$	(31.0	)

⁽¹⁾ Components may not add to total due to rounding.

Cash (Used in) Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020 was $65.3 million, an increase of $86.1 million compared to the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2019. The increase was primarily due to a decrease in operating cash flows from store performance due to the impact of COVID-19 as we temporarily closed all of our stores.

23

Cash Used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020 was $50.0 million, an increase of $5.8 million compared to the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2019. The increase was primarily due to an increase in net purchases of investment securities and other investments partially offset by a decrease in capital expenditures.

Cash Used in Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020 was $17.5 million, an increase of $9.9 million compared to the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2019. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in the repurchase and retirement of common stock partially offset by a decrease in common shares withheld for taxes.

Line of Credit

On April 24, 2020, the Company entered into a Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Fifth Restated Credit Agreement”), among the Company, 1616 Holdings, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("1616 Holdings"), and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as administrative agent (the “Agent”), and other lenders. The Fifth Restated Credit Agreement amends and restates the Prior Credit Agreement which governed the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Fifth Restated Credit Agreement includes a secured asset-based revolving line of credit in the amount of up to $225.0 million (the “Amended Revolving Credit Facility”). Pursuant to the Fifth Restated Credit Agreement, advances under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility are tied to a borrowing base consisting of eligible credit card receivables and inventory, as reduced by certain reserves in effect from time to time. The Amended Revolving Credit Facility expires on the earliest to occur of (i) April 24, 2023 or (ii) an event of default. The Amended Revolving Credit Facility may be increased by up to $150.0 million, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining commitments from one or more lenders. The entire amount of the Amended Revolving Credit Facility is available for the issuance of letters of credit and allows for swingline loans.

The Fifth Restated Credit Agreement provides that the interest rate payable on borrowings shall be, at the Company’s option, a per annum rate equal to (a) a base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.00% to 1.25% or (b) a LIBOR rate plus a margin ranging from 2.00% to 2.25%. Letter of credit fees will range from 2.00% to 2.25%. The interest rate and letter of credit fees under the Fifth Restated Credit Agreement are subject to an increase of 2.00% per annum upon an event of default.

The Fifth Restated Credit Agreement contains customary covenants that limit, absent lender approval, the ability of Company and certain of its affiliates to, among other things, pay cash dividends, incur debt, create liens and encumbrances, redeem or repurchase stock, enter into certain acquisition transactions or transactions with affiliates, merge, dissolve, repay certain indebtedness, change the nature of Company’s business, enter sale or leaseback transactions, make investments or dispose of assets. In some cases, these restrictions are subject to certain negotiated exceptions or permit Company to undertake otherwise restricted activities if it satisfies certain required conditions. In addition, the Company will be required to maintain availability of not less than (i) 15% of the lesser of (x) aggregate commitments under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility and (y) the borrowing base (the "loan cap") prior to a stepdown date (as described below) and (ii) 10% of the loan cap after the stepdown date. The stepdown date is the first date occurring after both (i) the date that 75% of the number of stores as of the closing date of the Amended Revolving Credit Facility have reopened ("store opening date") and (ii) the date occurring at least six months after the store reopening date on which the fixed charge coverage ratio is at least 1.00 to 1.00.

If there exists an event of default or availability under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility is less than 15% of the loan cap, amounts in any of the loan parties’ or subsidiary guarantors' designated deposit accounts will be transferred daily into a blocked account held by the Agent and applied to reduce outstanding amounts under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility (the “Cash Dominion Event”), so long as (i) such event of default has not been waived and/or (ii) until availability has exceeded 15% of the loan cap for sixty (60) consecutive calendar days (provided that such ability to discontinue the Cash Dominion Event shall be limited to two times during the term of the Agreement).

The Fifth Restated Credit Agreement also contains a provision stating that the Company cannot borrow in excess of $50 million under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility at any time the amount of the consolidated cash and cash equivalents of the loan parties (excluding certain long-term investments and certain other items) exceeds $50 million.

The Fifth Restated Credit Agreement contains customary events of default including, among other things, failure to pay obligations when due, initiation of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, defaults on certain other indebtedness, change of control, incurrence of certain material judgments that are not stayed, satisfied, bonded or discharged within 30 days, certain ERISA events, invalidity of the credit documents, and violation of affirmative and negative covenants or breach of representations and warranties set forth in the Fifth Restated Credit Agreement. Amounts under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility's may become due upon events of default (subject to any applicable grace or cure periods).

Under the Fifth Restated Credit Agreement, all obligations under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility continue to be guaranteed by 1616 Holdings, Inc. and are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and 1616 Holdings, Inc.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions. Predicting future events is inherently an imprecise activity and, as such, requires the use of judgment. Actual results may vary from estimates in amounts that may be material to the financial statements. An accounting policy is deemed to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and if different estimates that reasonably could have been used, or changes in the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur periodically, could materially impact our consolidated financial statements. Our critical accounting policies and estimates are discussed in the Annual Report.

Contractual Obligations

Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to our contractual obligations as disclosed in the Annual Report, other than those which occur in the ordinary course of business.

From February 2, 2020 to May 2, 2020, we have entered into 31 new fully executed retail leases with average terms of approximately 10 years and other lease modifications that have future minimum lease payments of approximately $56.6 million.

During the thirteen weeks ended November 2, 2019, we acquired land in Conroe, Texas, to build an approximately 860,000 square foot distribution center to support our anticipated growth. The total cost of the land and building is expected to be approximately $56 million, of which approximately $43 million has been paid through May 2, 2020. We expect to occupy the distribution center in Conroe, Texas in 2020.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

For the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020, we were not party to any material off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, net sales, expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Our principal market risk relates to interest rate sensitivity, which is the risk that future changes in interest rates will reduce our net income or net assets. We have short-term investment securities that are interest-bearing securities and if there are changes in interest rates, those changes would affect the interest income we earn on these investments and, therefore, impact our cash flows and results of operations. However, due to the short term nature of our investment portfolio, we do not believe an immediate 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates would have a material effect on the fair market value of our portfolio, and accordingly we do not expect our operating results or cash flows to be materially affected by a sudden change in market interest rates.

We also have an Amended Revolving Credit Facility which includes a revolving line of credit, which bears interest at a variable rate. Because our Amended Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at a variable rate, we will be exposed to market risks relating to changes in interest rates, which could materially impact our consolidated statements of operations should we have any material borrowings under our Amended Revolving Credit Facility.

As of May 2, 2020, we had approximately $158.9 million available on the line of credit. The Fifth Restated Credit Agreement provides that the interest rate payable on borrowings shall be, at our option, a per annum rate equal to (a) a base rate plus a margin of 1.25% or (b) a LIBOR rate plus a margin of 2.25%. Letter of credit fees will range from 2.00% to 2.25%. The interest rate and letter of credit fees under the Fifth Restated Credit Agreement are subject to an increase of 2.00% per annum upon an event of default. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes, but this does not preclude our adoption of specific hedging strategies in the future.

Impact of Inflation

Our results of operations and financial condition are presented based on historical cost. While it is difficult to accurately measure the impact of inflation due to the imprecise nature of the estimates required, we believe the effects of inflation, if any,

25

on our historical results of operations and financial condition have been immaterial. We cannot assure you, however, that our results of operations and financial condition will not be materially impacted by inflation in the future.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management has evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are effective at a reasonable assurance level in ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported in a timely manner and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. While our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of their effectiveness, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020, as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f), that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

26

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are subject to various proceedings, lawsuits, disputes, and claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. Many of these actions raise complex factual and legal issues and are subject to uncertainties. Actions filed against us from time to time include commercial, intellectual property, customer, and employment actions, including class action lawsuits. The plaintiffs in some actions seek unspecified damages or injunctive relief, or both. Actions are in various procedural stages, and some are covered in part by insurance. We cannot predict with assurance the outcome of actions brought against us. Accordingly, adverse developments, settlements, or resolutions may occur and negatively impact income in the quarter of such development, settlement or resolution. If a potential loss arising from these lawsuits, claims and pending actions is probable and reasonably estimable, we record the estimated liability based on circumstances and assumptions existing at the time. Although the outcome of these and other claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

27

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Risk factors that affect our business and financial results are discussed in Part I, Item 1A "Risk Factors” in our Annual Report. The following risk factor represents an update to the risk factors previously disclosed. You should carefully consider the risks described below and in our Annual Report, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described below and in our Annual Report are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and/or operating results. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, and/or results of operations could be negatively affected.

The COVID-19 global pandemic and measures intended to prevent its spread present material uncertainty and risk and have had, and are expected to continue to have, a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

The COVID-19 global pandemic has led governments and other authorities around the world to impose measures intended to control the pandemic’s spread, including restrictions on business operations, freedom of travel, border closings, shelter in place orders, and quarantines. The pandemic and the related preventative and protective actions have adversely impacted the global economy, resulted in unprecedented levels of unemployment, reduced consumer confidence and discretionary consumer spending, disrupted global supply chains, and created significant volatility in financial markets. Moreover, there is significant uncertainty around the scope and duration of the pandemic and of preventative and protective actions taken, or that may in the future be taken, by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic.

The pandemic and the related actions have materially adversely impacted our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, including through temporary store closures, reductions in operating hours and decreases in store traffic. The scope and duration of the pandemic and governmental, business and consumer responses to the pandemic may adversely affect, among other aspects of our business:

• our ability to maintain and increase sales and margins and to execute effectively on our business plans;

• our ability to identify and respond effectively to changes in consumer preferences and behavior, including decreased consumer discretionary spending;

• our ability to generated increased sales through our e-commerce website and curbside pickup (where stores remain closed to the public);

• our ability to receive products from our vendors and to distribute such products to our store locations;

• our vendors’ ability to manufacture and distribute products to us;

• our business partners’ ability to operate or manage increases in their operating costs and other supply chain effects that may have an adverse effect on our ability to meet consumer demand and achieve cost targets;

• our ability to comply with financial covenants in credit agreements and with credit terms in agreements with our suppliers; and

• our ability to restructure our lease obligations.

Furthermore, as a result of the temporary store closures caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company withheld store rent for the closure period. The Company has been actively negotiating with its landlords on rent deferrals and abatements related to this closure period and has resumed rent payments for re-opened locations. Although the Company expects to favorably resolve these negotiations with its landlords, there can be no assurances in that regard, and all or some of these landlords could claim the Company’s failure to pay rent is a default under its leases and seek remedies such as damages, acceleration of lease payments and/or termination of the subject leases. A successful assertion by the landlords of a breach of a significant number of the Company’s leases could have a material adverse impact on the Company's business, financial condition, profitability and cash flows, including future growth.

The extent of the impact of the pandemic on our business will depend on future developments, including the duration and scope of the pandemic and measures taken to prevent its spread, which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. Although no impairment charges were recorded during the first quarter May 2, 2020, we may be required to record impairment charges on our assets as a result of the pandemic in future periods.

Any of the negative impacts of the pandemic, including those described above, alone or in combination with others, may exacerbate many of the risk factors discussed in Part I - Item 1A - "Risk Factors," of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 1, 2020. The full extent to which the pandemic will negatively affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities businesses and consumers in response to the pandemic.

28

The following risk factor appearing in Part I, Item 1A, on page 25, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 1, 2020, is hereby amended and supplemented to read in full as follows:

We are exposed to the risk of natural disasters, adverse weather conditions, pandemic outbreaks, global political events, war, terrorism or civil unrest that could disrupt business and result in lower sales, increased operating costs and capital expenditures.

Our headquarters, store locations and distribution centers, as well as certain of our vendors and customers, are located in areas which have been and could be subject to natural disasters such as floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, fires or earthquakes. Adverse weather conditions or other extreme changes in the weather, including resulting electrical and technological failures, may disrupt our business and may adversely affect our ability to sell and distribute products.

In addition, we operate in markets that may be susceptible to pandemic outbreaks or terrorist acts, and our operations may be affected by disruptive national or global political events, such as civil unrest in areas where our stores are located or in countries in which our vendors are located or products are manufactured.

Our business may be harmed if our ability to sell and distribute products is impacted by any such events, any of which could influence customer trends and purchases and may negatively impact our net sales, properties or operations. Such events could result in physical damage to one or more of our properties, theft of merchandise, the temporary closure of some or all of our stores or distribution centers, the temporary lack of an adequate work force in a market, temporary or long-term disruption in the transport of goods, decreases in transportation capacity, increases in transportation costs, delay in the delivery of goods to our distribution centers or stores, disruption of our technology support or information systems, or fuel shortages or dramatic increases in fuel prices, which increase the cost of doing business. These events also can have indirect consequences such as increases in the costs of insurance if they result in significant loss of property or other insurable damage. Any of these factors, or combination thereof, could adversely affect our operations.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Revenue Transactions

Revenue from store operations is recognized at the point of sale when control of the product is transferred to the customer at such time. Internet sales, through the Company's fivebelow.com e-commerce website, are recognized when the consumer receives the product as control transfers upon delivery. Returns subsequent to the period end are immaterial; accordingly, no reserve has been recorded. Gift card sales to customers are initially recorded as liabilities and recognized as sales upon redemption for merchandise or as breakage revenue in proportion to the pattern of redemption of the gift cards by the customer in net sales.

The transaction price for the Company’s sales is based on the item’s stated price. To the extent that the Company charges customers for shipping and handling on e-commerce sales, the Company records such amounts in net sales. Shipping and handling costs, which include fulfillment and shipping costs related to the Company's e-commerce operations, are included in costs of goods sold. The Company has chosen the pronouncement's policy election which allows it to exclude all sales taxes from net sales in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Share-Based Compensation

Equity Incentive Plan

Pursuant to the Company's 2002 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), the Company’s board of directors may grant stock options, restricted shares, and restricted stock units to officers, directors, key employees and professional service providers. The Plan, as amended, allows for the issuance of up to a total of 7.6 million shares under the Plan. As of May 2, 2020, approximately 3.2 million stock options, restricted shares, or restricted stock units were available for grant.

Common Stock Options

All stock options have a term not greater than ten years. Stock options vest and become exercisable in whole or in part, in accordance with vesting conditions set by the Company’s board of directors. Options granted to date generally vest over four years from the date of grant.

Stock option activity during the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020 was as follows:

	Options Outstanding		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (in years)
Balance as of February 1, 2020	231,525		$	30.92	4.1
Forfeited	(993	)	39.30
Exercised	(2,136	)	30.62
Balance as of May 2, 2020	228,396		30.89		4.1
Exercisable as of May 2, 2020	228,396		$	31.07	4.1

The fair value of each option award granted to employees, including outside directors, is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. There were no stock options granted during the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020.

Restricted Stock Units and Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units

All restricted stock units ("RSU") and performance-based restricted stock units ("PSU") vest in accordance with vesting conditions set by the compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors. RSUs granted to date have vesting periods ranging from less than one year to five years from the date of grant. PSUs granted to date have vesting periods ranging from one year to five years from the date of grant, including grants that have a cumulative three year performance period, subject to satisfaction of the applicable performance goals established for the respective grant. The Company periodically assesses the probability of achievement of the performance criteria and adjusts the amount of compensation expense accordingly. Compensation is recognized over the vesting period and adjusted for the probability of achievement of the performance criteria.

RSU and PSU activity during the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020 was as follows:

	Restricted Stock Units				Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units
	Number		Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value		Number		Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value

In connection with the vesting of RSUs and PSUs during the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020, the Company withheld 46,532 shares with an aggregate value of $3.3 million in satisfaction of minimum tax withholding obligations due upon vesting.

In connection with the vesting of RSUs and PSUs during the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2019, the Company withheld 79,256 shares with an aggregate value of $9.9 million in satisfaction of minimum tax withholding obligations due upon vesting.

As of May 2, 2020, there was $19.4 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements (including stock options, RSUs and PSUs) granted under the Plan. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average vesting period of 3.1 years.

Share Repurchase Program

On March 20, 2018, the Company's board of directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to $100 million of the Company's common stock through March 31, 2021, on the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. In fiscal 2019, the Company purchased 337,552 shares under this program at an aggregate cost of approximately $36.9 million, or an average price of $109.27 per share. During the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020, the Company purchased 137,023 shares under this program at an aggregate cost of approximately $12.7 million, or an average price of $92.42 per share. Since approval of the share repurchase program in March 2018, the Company has purchased approximately 500,000 shares for an aggregate cost of approximately $50 million. There can be no assurances that any additional repurchases will be completed, or as to the timing or amount of any repurchases. The share repurchase program may be modified or discontinued at any time.

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at the inception of a contract. Operating lease assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of the remaining future minimum lease payments. As the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable for the Company's leases, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of future lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate represents a significant judgment and is determined based on an analysis of the Company's synthetic credit rating, prevailing financial market conditions, corporate bond yields, treasury bond yields, and the effect of collateralization. The operating lease assets also include lease payments made before commencement and exclude lease incentives.

The Company’s real estate leases typically contain options that permit renewals for additional periods of up to five years. For real estate leases, except for renewals that generally take the lease to a ten-year term, the options to renew are not considered reasonably certain at lease commencement because the Company reevaluates each lease on a regular basis to consider the economic and strategic benefits of exercising the renewal options, and regularly opens, relocates or closes stores to align with its operating strategy. Therefore, generally, except for renewals that take the lease to a ten-year term, the renewal option periods are not included within the lease term and the associated payments are not included in the measurement of the operating lease asset and operating lease liability as the exercise of such options is not reasonably certain. The Company’s operating lease agreements, including assumed renewals, which are generally those that take the lease to a ten-year term, expire through fiscal 2034. Similarly, renewal options are not included in the lease term for non-real estate leases because they are not considered reasonably certain of being exercised at lease commencement. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheets and lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the short-term lease.

For certain real estate leases, the Company accounts for lease components and nonlease components as a single lease component. Certain real estate leases require additional payments for reimbursement of real estate taxes, common area maintenance and insurance as well as payments based on sales volume, all of which are expensed as incurred as variable lease costs. Other real estate leases contain one fixed lease payment that includes real estate taxes, common area maintenance and insurance. These fixed payments are considered part of the lease payment and included in the operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities.

During the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020, the Company committed to 31 new store leases with average terms of approximately 10 years that have future minimum lease payments of approximately $56.6 million.

All of the Company's leases are classified as operating leases and the associated assets and liabilities are presented as separate captions in the consolidated balance sheets. As of May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019, the weighted average remaining lease term for the Company's operating leases is 8.1 years and 7.8 years, respectively, and the weighted average discount rate is 6.5% and 7.6%, respectively.

Legal Matters

The Company is subject to various proceedings, lawsuits, disputes, and claims arising in the ordinary course of the Company's business. Many of these actions raise complex factual and legal issues and are subject to uncertainties. Actions filed against the Company from time to time include commercial, intellectual property, customer, and employment actions, including class action lawsuits. The plaintiffs in some actions seek unspecified damages or injunctive relief, or both. Actions are in various procedural stages, and some are covered in part by insurance. The Company cannot predict with assurance the outcome of actions brought against the Company. Accordingly, adverse developments, settlements, or resolutions may occur and negatively impact income in the quarter of such development, settlement or resolution. If a potential loss arising from these lawsuits, claims and pending actions is probable and reasonably estimable, the Company records the estimated liability based on circumstances and assumptions existing at the time. Although the outcome of these and other claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Revenue Transactions

Revenue from store operations is recognized at the point of sale when control of the product is transferred to the customer at such time. Internet sales, through the Company's fivebelow.com e-commerce website, are recognized when the consumer receives the product as control transfers upon delivery. Returns subsequent to the period end are immaterial; accordingly, no reserve has been recorded. Gift card sales to customers are initially recorded as liabilities and recognized as sales upon redemption for merchandise or as breakage revenue in proportion to the pattern of redemption of the gift cards by the customer in net sales.

The transaction price for the Company’s sales is based on the item’s stated price. To the extent that the Company charges customers for shipping and handling on e-commerce sales, the Company records such amounts in net sales. Shipping and handling costs, which include fulfillment and shipping costs related to the Company's e-commerce operations, are included in costs of goods sold. The Company has chosen the pronouncement's policy election which allows it to exclude all sales taxes from net sales in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Income Per Common Share

(Loss) Income Per Common Share

Basic (loss) income per common share amounts are calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted (loss) income per common share amounts are calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and include the dilutive impact of exercised stock options as well as assumed vesting of restricted stock awards and shares currently available for purchase under the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan, using the treasury stock method. Performance-based restricted stock units are considered contingently issuable shares for diluted income per common share purposes and the dilutive impact, if any, is not included in the weighted average shares until the performance conditions are met.

The following table reconciles net (loss) income and the weighted average common shares outstanding used in the computations of basic and diluted (loss) income per common share (in thousands, except for share and per share data):

	Thirteen Weeks Ended

Diluted (loss) income per common share	$	(0.91	)	$	0.46

For thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020, all common stock equivalents related to outstanding stock options and unvested restricted units were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share, as their impact would have been anti-dilutive due to the Company's net loss for the period.

The aforementioned excluded shares do not reflect the impact of any incremental repurchases under the treasury stock method.

Income Taxes

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act") was enacted and signed into law. The CARES Act includes a number of income tax changes, including, but not limited to, (i) permitting taxpayers a five-year carryback period for net operating losses arising in tax years beginning after January 30, 2016 and before January 1, 2021. (ii) temporarily suspending the 80% of taxable income limitation on the use of NOLs for tax years beginning before January 1, 2021, thereby permitting corporate taxpayers to use NOLs to fully offset taxable income in these years regardless of the year in which the net operating loss arose, (iii) accelerating AMT tax credit carryover refunds, (iv) temporarily increasing the allowable business interest deduction from 30% to 50% of adjusted taxable income, and (v) providing a technical correction for depreciation as relates to the definition of qualified improvement property. As a result of the CARES Act, the Company recorded an income tax receivable for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020.

The following table summarizes the Company’s income tax (benefit) expense and effective tax rates for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019 (dollars in thousands):

	Thirteen Weeks Ended
	May 2, 2020			May 4, 2019

Income tax (benefit) expense	$	(21,471	)	$	494
Effective tax rate	29.8		%	1.9		%

The effective tax rates for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019 were based on the Company’s forecasted annualized effective tax rates and were adjusted for discrete items that occurred within the periods presented. The effective tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020 was higher than the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2019 primarily due to discrete items, which includes the impact of ASU 2016-09, "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting," with respect to the requirement to recognize excess income tax benefits or deficiencies as income tax benefit or expense in the consolidated statements of operations rather than as additional paid-in capital in the consolidated balance sheets, and the impact of the CARES Act.

The Company had no material accrual for uncertain tax positions or interest and/or penalties related to income taxes on the Company’s balance sheets as of May 2, 2020, February 1, 2020, or May 4, 2019 and has not recognized any material uncertain tax positions or interest and/or penalties related to income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020 or May 4, 2019.

The Company files a federal income tax return as well as state tax returns. The Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for the fiscal years ended February 3, 2018 and thereafter remain subject to examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. State returns are filed in various state jurisdictions, as appropriate, with varying statutes of limitation and remain subject to examination for varying periods up to three years to four years depending on the state.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a)

Description of Business

Five Below, Inc. (collectively referred to herein with its wholly owned subsidiary as the "Company") is a specialty value retailer offering merchandise targeted at the tween and teen demographic. The Company offers an edited assortment of products, with most priced at $5 and below.

The Company’s edited assortment of products includes select brands and licensed merchandise. The Company believes its merchandise is readily available, and that there are a number of potential vendors that could be utilized, if necessary, under approximately the same terms the Company is currently receiving; thus, it is not dependent on a single vendor or a group of vendors.

The Company is incorporated in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and, as of May 2, 2020, operated in 36 states that include Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, West Virginia, North Carolina, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, Georgia, Texas, Tennessee, Maine, Alabama, Kentucky, Kansas, Florida, South Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana, Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Minnesota, California, Arkansas, Iowa, Nebraska, and Arizona. As of May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019, the Company operated 920 stores and 789 stores, respectively, each operating under the name “Five Below”, and sells merchandise on the internet, through the Company's fivebelow.com e-commerce website.

(b)    Impact of COVID-19

The outbreak of the coronavirus (or COVID-19) has been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization, has significantly disrupted businesses around the world, and has adversely impacted the Company’s business operations and results of operations for the first quarter of 2020. On March 13, 2020, the President of the United States declared a national emergency as a result of the outbreak in the United States. Federal, state and local governments and private entities have mandated various restrictions, including travel restrictions, restrictions on public gatherings, stay at home orders and advisories, and quarantining of people who may have been exposed to the virus. Such mandates have required reduction of operating hours and forced temporary closures of certain retailers and other businesses. It is impossible to predict the effect and ultimate impact of the pandemic as the situation continues to evolve.

As a result of these restrictions and out of concern for its customers and employees, the Company temporarily closed all of its stores as of March 20, 2020. The Company began reopening its stores at the end of April in compliance with federal, state and local requirements. As a result of the temporary store closures, the Company withheld store rent for the closure period. The Company has been actively negotiating with its landlords on rent deferrals and abatements related to this closure period and has resumed rent payments for reopened locations. Although the Company expects to favorably resolve these negotiations with its landlords, there can be no assurances in that regard, and all or some of these landlords could claim the Company’s failure to pay rent is a default under its leases. If such claims were made and a significant number of such claims were to prevail, this could have a material adverse impact on the Company's business, financial condition, profitability and cash flows, including future growth.

As of May 2, 2020, 111 stores had reopened to the general public, and as of the date of this filing, approximately 90% of our stores have been reopened to the general public. Additionally, the Company launched a new service, offering curbside pick-up where stores are not otherwise permitted to be open to the public.

While the ultimate health and economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is highly uncertain, the Company expects that its business operations and results of operations, including net sales, earnings and cash flows, will be materially impacted for the foreseeable future, as a result of:

•temporary closure of Company stores;

• decreased customer traffic in stores, including, without limitation, as the result of limitations on the number of persons permitted in stores at one time by certain local and state regulations;

• uncertainty of the extent to which customers will maintain purchases through our e-commerce website and through curbside pickup (where stores remain closed to the public);

• changes in consumer confidence and consumer spending habits, including spending for the merchandise that the Company sells, and negative trends in consumer purchasing patterns due to changes in consumers’ disposable income, credit availability and debt levels;

• disruption to the Company’s supply chain including the manufacturing, supply, distribution, transportation and delivery of products; and

• a slowdown in the U.S. and global economies, and an uncertain global economic outlook or a potential credit crisis.

To seek to mitigate the effects of the pandemic and to create financial flexibility, the Company has taken the following actions:

• a majority of its store and distribution center employees were furloughed in March and the Company covered the cost of health benefits for such furloughed employees through the end of May;

• the Company implemented a voluntary temporary base salary reduction of 50% for Joel Anderson, its Chief Executive Officer, and a 25% base salary reduction for the remainder of the executive leadership team that reports into Mr. Anderson;

• its Board of Directors elected to forgo its quarterly cash retainers for the first quarter of 2020;

• the Company implemented a temporary pay reduction for all salaried corporate associates and certain field and supply chain leadership and delayed annual salary increases for corporate associates;

• the Company elected to defer the payment of the employer's portion of FICA taxes as allowed by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security ("CARES") Act;

• the Company implemented significant non-payroll expense reductions, including advertising, occupancy and other store operating expenses, distribution and corporate office operating expenses, as well as professional and consulting fees;

• the Company temporarily ceased paying rent on all closed store locations starting in April, is paying rent going forward in connection with store re-openings and plans to negotiate with its landlords on rent adjustments where appropriate for such stores;

• the Company cancelled certain vendor orders and delayed receipts on others in order to manage inventory levels, and extended payment terms for product and non-product vendors;

• the Company significantly reduced its 2020 capital expenditure budget, including reducing the number of new stores to be opened in 2020 and delaying purchase and construction of a new Midwest distribution center; and

•

the Company amended its credit facility and increased its line of credit from $50 million to $225 million.

(c)    Fiscal Year

The Company operates on a 52/53-week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to January 31. References to "fiscal year 2020" or "fiscal 2020" refer to the period from February 2, 2020 to January 30, 2021, which is a 52-week fiscal year. References to "fiscal year 2019" or "fiscal 2019" refer to the period from February 3, 2019 to February 1, 2020, which is a 52-week fiscal year. The fiscal quarters ended May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019 refer to the thirteen weeks ended as of those dates.

(d)    Basis of Presentation

The consolidated balance sheets as of May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019, the consolidated statements of operations for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019, the consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019 have been prepared by the Company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim reporting and are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the aforementioned financial statements include all known adjustments (which consist primarily of normal, recurring accruals, estimates and assumptions that impact the financial statements) necessary to present fairly the financial position at the balance sheet dates and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods ended May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019. The balance sheet as of February 1, 2020, presented herein, has been derived from the audited balance sheet included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2019 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 19, 2020 and referred to herein as the “Annual Report,” but does not include all annual disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2020 and footnotes thereto included in the Annual Report. The consolidated results of operations for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the consolidated operating results for the year ending January 30, 2021 or any other period. The Company's business is seasonal and as a result, the Company's net sales fluctuate from quarter to quarter. Net sales are usually highest in the fourth fiscal quarter due to the year-end holiday season.

(e)    Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases.” ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to record assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. The updated guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. On February 3, 2019, the Company adopted this pronouncement on a modified retrospective basis and applied the new standard to all leases. As a result, comparative financial information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which includes, among other things, the ability to carry forward the existing lease classification. The Company also elected the practical expedient related to land easements, allowing the Company to carry forward its accounting treatment for land easements on existing agreements. At adoption, the new standard had a material impact on the Company's balance sheets resulting in an increase in net assets and liabilities of approximately $618 million, as the Company has a significant number of leases for its stores. Although the standard impacts the treatment of certain initial direct leases costs that were previously capitalizable, it did not materially impact the Company's consolidated statements of operations and had no impact on the Company's cash flows.

See Note 3 ‘‘Leases’’ for additional information.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, "Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract." ASU 2018-15 requires implementation costs incurred by customers in cloud computing arrangements to be deferred over the noncancelable term of the cloud computing arrangements plus any optional renewal periods (1) that are reasonably certain to be exercised by the customer or (2) for which exercise of the renewal option is controlled by the cloud service provider. The effective date of this pronouncement is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. The standard can be adopted either using the prospective or retrospective transition approach. During the thirteen weeks ended November 3, 2018, the Company adopted the pronouncement using the prospective transition method and it did not have a significant impact to the Company's financial statements.

In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, "Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses," which addresses certain fair value disclosure requirements, the measurement basis under the measurement alternative and which equity securities have to be remeasured at historical exchange rates. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Targeted Transition Relief," which gives entities the ability to irrevocably elect the fair value option in Subtopic 825-10 for certain existing financial assets upon transition to ASU 2016-13. The effective date of the standards will be for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The new standard will be applied using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the effective date to align the Company's credit loss methodology with the new standard. The Company adopted the standard on February 2, 2020. The adoption did not impact the Company's financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting" ("ASU 2020-04"). The pronouncement provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the current guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The guidance was effective upon issuance and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated on or before December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2020-04 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

(f)    Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the carrying amount of property and equipment, valuation allowances for inventories, income taxes, share-based compensation expense and the incremental borrowing rate utilized in operating lease liabilities.

(g)    Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified using the following hierarchy, which is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation at the measurement date:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs, other than Level 1, that are either directly or indirectly observable.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs developed using the Company’s estimates and assumptions which reflect those that market participants would use.

The classification of fair value measurements within the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement.

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash equivalents, short-term investment securities, accounts payable, and borrowings, if any, under a line of credit. The Company believes that: (1) the carrying value of cash equivalents and accounts payable are representative of their respective fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments; and (2) the carrying value of the borrowings, if any, under the line of credit approximates fair value because the line of credit’s interest rates vary with market interest rates. Under the fair value hierarchy, the fair market values of the short-term investments in corporate bonds are level 1 while the short-term investments in municipal bonds are level 2. The fair market values of level 2 instruments are determined by management with the assistance of a third-party pricing service. Since quoted prices in active markets for identical assets are not available, these prices are determined by the third-party pricing service using observable market information such as quotes from less active markets and quoted prices of similar securities.

As of May 2, 2020, February 1, 2020, and May 4, 2019, the Company had cash equivalents of $54.0 million, $200.1 million and $188.0 million, respectively. The Company’s cash equivalents consist of credit and debit card receivables, money market funds, and corporate bonds with original maturities of 90 days or less. Fair value for cash equivalents was determined based on level 1 inputs.

As of May 2, 2020, February 1, 2020, and May 4, 2019, the Company's short-term investment securities are classified as held-to-maturity since the Company has the intent and ability to hold the investments to maturity. Such securities are carried at amortized cost plus accrued interest and consist of the following (in thousands):

	As of May 2, 2020
	Amortized Cost		Gross Unrealized Gains		Gross Unrealized Losses		Fair Market Value
Short-term:
Corporate bonds	$	69,220	$	—	$	33	$	69,187
Total	$	69,220	$	—	$	33	$	69,187

Municipal bonds	604		—		—		604
Total	$	59,229	$	—	$	4	$	59,225

Municipal bonds	2,424		—		1		2,423
Total	$	67,875	$	—	$	24	$	67,851

Short-term investment securities as of May 2, 2020, February 1, 2020, and May 4, 2019 all mature in one year or less.

(h)    Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

Prepaid expenses as of May 2, 2020, February 1, 2020, and May 4, 2019 were $14.3 million, $17.2 million, and $16.7 million, respectively. Other current assets as of May 2, 2020, February 1, 2020, and May 4, 2019 were $40.3 million, $58.7 million, and $30.5 million, respectively.

(i)    Other Accrued Expenses

Other accrued expenses include accrued capital expenditures of $34.2 million, $28.9 million, and $21.5 million as of May 2, 2020, February 1, 2020, and May 4, 2019, respectively.

For thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020, all common stock equivalents related to outstanding stock options and unvested restricted units were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share, as their impact would have been anti-dilutive due to the Company's net loss for the period.

The aforementioned excluded shares do not reflect the impact of any incremental repurchases under the treasury stock method.

Line of Credit

On March 20, 2020, the Company exercised its right under the Fourth Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, executed on May 10, 2017 (the "Prior Credit Agreement') to increase the aggregate commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility from $20 million to $50 million.

On April 24, 2020, the Company entered into a Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Fifth Restated Credit Agreement”), among the Company, 1616 Holdings, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("1616 Holdings"), and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as administrative agent (the “Agent”), and other lenders. The Fifth Restated Credit Agreement amends and restates the Prior Credit Agreement which governed the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Fifth Restated Credit Agreement includes a secured asset-based revolving line of credit in the amount of up to $225.0 million (the “Amended Revolving Credit Facility”). Pursuant to the Fifth Restated Credit Agreement, advances under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility are tied to a borrowing base consisting of eligible credit card receivables and inventory, as reduced by certain reserves in effect from time to time. The Amended Revolving Credit Facility expires on the earliest to occur of (i) April 24, 2023 or (ii) an event of default. The Amended Revolving Credit Facility may be increased by up to $150.0 million, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining commitments from one or more lenders. The entire amount of the Amended Revolving Credit Facility is available for the issuance of letters of credit and allows for swingline loans.

The Fifth Restated Credit Agreement provides that the interest rate payable on borrowings shall be, at the Company’s option, a per annum rate equal to (a) a base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.00% to 1.25% or (b) a LIBOR rate plus a margin ranging from 2.00% to 2.25%. Letter of credit fees will range from 2.00% to 2.25%. The interest rate and letter of credit fees under the Fifth Restated Credit Agreement are subject to an increase of 2.00% per annum upon an event of default.

The Fifth Restated Credit Agreement contains customary covenants that limit, absent lender approval, the ability of Company and certain of its affiliates to, among other things, pay cash dividends, incur debt, create liens and encumbrances, redeem or repurchase stock, enter into certain acquisition transactions or transactions with affiliates, merge, dissolve, repay certain indebtedness, change the nature of Company’s business, enter sale or leaseback transactions, make investments or dispose of assets. In some cases, these restrictions are subject to certain negotiated exceptions or permit Company to undertake otherwise restricted activities if it satisfies certain required conditions. In addition, the Company will be required to maintain availability of not less than (i) 15% of the lesser of (x) aggregate commitments under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility and (y) the borrowing base (the "loan cap") prior to a stepdown date (as described below) and (ii) 10% of the loan cap after the stepdown date. The stepdown date is the first date occurring after both (i) the date that 75% of the number of stores as of the closing date of the Amended Revolving Credit Facility have reopened ("store opening date") and (ii) the date occurring at least six months after the store reopening date on which the fixed charge coverage ratio is at least 1.00 to 1.00.

If there exists an event of default or availability under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility is less than 15% of the loan cap, amounts in any of the loan parties’ or subsidiary guarantors' designated deposit accounts will be transferred daily into a blocked account held by the Agent and applied to reduce outstanding amounts under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility (the “Cash Dominion Event”), so long as (i) such event of default has not been waived and/or (ii) until availability has exceeded 15% of the loan cap for sixty (60) consecutive calendar days (provided that such ability to discontinue the Cash Dominion Event shall be limited to two times during the term of the Agreement).

The Fifth Restated Credit Agreement also contains a provision stating that the Company cannot borrow in excess of $50 million under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility at any time the amount of the consolidated cash and cash equivalents of the loan parties (excluding certain long-term investments and certain other items) exceeds $50 million.

The Fifth Restated Credit Agreement contains customary events of default including, among other things, failure to pay obligations when due, initiation of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, defaults on certain other indebtedness, change of control, incurrence of certain material judgments that are not stayed, satisfied, bonded or discharged within 30 days, certain ERISA events, invalidity of the credit documents, and violation of affirmative and negative covenants or breach of representations and warranties set forth in the Fifth Restated Credit Agreement. Amounts under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility's may become due upon events of default (subject to any applicable grace or cure periods). Under the Fifth Restated Credit Agreement, all obligations under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility continue to be guaranteed by 1616 Holdings, Inc. and are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and 1616 Holdings, Inc.

During the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020, the Company borrowed and repaid approximately $50 million from its Amended Revolving Credit Facility. As of May 2, 2020, the Company had no borrowings under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility and had approximately $158.9 million available on the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement.

All obligations under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of the Company's assets and are guaranteed by the Company's subsidiary. As of May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019, the Company was in compliance with the covenants applicable to it under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Nature of Business

(a)

Description of Business

Five Below, Inc. (collectively referred to herein with its wholly owned subsidiary as the "Company") is a specialty value retailer offering merchandise targeted at the tween and teen demographic. The Company offers an edited assortment of products, with most priced at $5 and below.

The Company’s edited assortment of products includes select brands and licensed merchandise. The Company believes its merchandise is readily available, and that there are a number of potential vendors that could be utilized, if necessary, under approximately the same terms the Company is currently receiving; thus, it is not dependent on a single vendor or a group of vendors.

The Company is incorporated in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and, as of May 2, 2020, operated in 36 states that include Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, West Virginia, North Carolina, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, Georgia, Texas, Tennessee, Maine, Alabama, Kentucky, Kansas, Florida, South Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana, Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Minnesota, California, Arkansas, Iowa, Nebraska, and Arizona. As of May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019, the Company operated 920 stores and 789 stores, respectively, each operating under the name “Five Below”, and sells merchandise on the internet, through the Company's fivebelow.com e-commerce website.

Fiscal Year

(c)    Fiscal Year

The Company operates on a 52/53-week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to January 31. References to "fiscal year 2020" or "fiscal 2020" refer to the period from February 2, 2020 to January 30, 2021, which is a 52-week fiscal year. References to "fiscal year 2019" or "fiscal 2019" refer to the period from February 3, 2019 to February 1, 2020, which is a 52-week fiscal year. The fiscal quarters ended May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019 refer to the thirteen weeks ended as of those dates.

Basis of Presentation

(d)    Basis of Presentation

The consolidated balance sheets as of May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019, the consolidated statements of operations for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019, the consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019 have been prepared by the Company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim reporting and are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the aforementioned financial statements include all known adjustments (which consist primarily of normal, recurring accruals, estimates and assumptions that impact the financial statements) necessary to present fairly the financial position at the balance sheet dates and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods ended May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019. The balance sheet as of February 1, 2020, presented herein, has been derived from the audited balance sheet included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2019 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 19, 2020 and referred to herein as the “Annual Report,” but does not include all annual disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2020 and footnotes thereto included in the Annual Report. The consolidated results of operations for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the consolidated operating results for the year ending January 30, 2021 or any other period. The Company's business is seasonal and as a result, the Company's net sales fluctuate from quarter to quarter. Net sales are usually highest in the fourth fiscal quarter due to the year-end holiday season.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

(e)    Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases.” ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to record assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. The updated guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. On February 3, 2019, the Company adopted this pronouncement on a modified retrospective basis and applied the new standard to all leases. As a result, comparative financial information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which includes, among other things, the ability to carry forward the existing lease classification. The Company also elected the practical expedient related to land easements, allowing the Company to carry forward its accounting treatment for land easements on existing agreements. At adoption, the new standard had a material impact on the Company's balance sheets resulting in an increase in net assets and liabilities of approximately $618 million, as the Company has a significant number of leases for its stores. Although the standard impacts the treatment of certain initial direct leases costs that were previously capitalizable, it did not materially impact the Company's consolidated statements of operations and had no impact on the Company's cash flows.

See Note 3 ‘‘Leases’’ for additional information.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, "Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract." ASU 2018-15 requires implementation costs incurred by customers in cloud computing arrangements to be deferred over the noncancelable term of the cloud computing arrangements plus any optional renewal periods (1) that are reasonably certain to be exercised by the customer or (2) for which exercise of the renewal option is controlled by the cloud service provider. The effective date of this pronouncement is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. The standard can be adopted either using the prospective or retrospective transition approach. During the thirteen weeks ended November 3, 2018, the Company adopted the pronouncement using the prospective transition method and it did not have a significant impact to the Company's financial statements.

In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, "Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses," which addresses certain fair value disclosure requirements, the measurement basis under the measurement alternative and which equity securities have to be remeasured at historical exchange rates. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Targeted Transition Relief," which gives entities the ability to irrevocably elect the fair value option in Subtopic 825-10 for certain existing financial assets upon transition to ASU 2016-13. The effective date of the standards will be for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The new standard will be applied using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the effective date to align the Company's credit loss methodology with the new standard. The Company adopted the standard on February 2, 2020. The adoption did not impact the Company's financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting" ("ASU 2020-04"). The pronouncement provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the current guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The guidance was effective upon issuance and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated on or before December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2020-04 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates

(f)    Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the carrying amount of property and equipment, valuation allowances for inventories, income taxes, share-based compensation expense and the incremental borrowing rate utilized in operating lease liabilities.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

(g)    Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified using the following hierarchy, which is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation at the measurement date:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs, other than Level 1, that are either directly or indirectly observable.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs developed using the Company’s estimates and assumptions which reflect those that market participants would use.

The classification of fair value measurements within the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement.

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash equivalents, short-term investment securities, accounts payable, and borrowings, if any, under a line of credit. The Company believes that: (1) the carrying value of cash equivalents and accounts payable are representative of their respective fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments; and (2) the carrying value of the borrowings, if any, under the line of credit approximates fair value because the line of credit’s interest rates vary with market interest rates. Under the fair value hierarchy, the fair market values of the short-term investments in corporate bonds are level 1 while the short-term investments in municipal bonds are level 2. The fair market values of level 2 instruments are determined by management with the assistance of a third-party pricing service. Since quoted prices in active markets for identical assets are not available, these prices are determined by the third-party pricing service using observable market information such as quotes from less active markets and quoted prices of similar securities.

As of May 2, 2020, February 1, 2020, and May 4, 2019, the Company had cash equivalents of $54.0 million, $200.1 million and $188.0 million, respectively. The Company’s cash equivalents consist of credit and debit card receivables, money market funds, and corporate bonds with original maturities of 90 days or less. Fair value for cash equivalents was determined based on level 1 inputs.

As of May 2, 2020, February 1, 2020, and May 4, 2019, the Company's short-term investment securities are classified as held-to-maturity since the Company has the intent and ability to hold the investments to maturity. Such securities are carried at amortized cost plus accrued interest and consist of the following (in thousands):

	As of May 2, 2020
	Amortized Cost		Gross Unrealized Gains		Gross Unrealized Losses		Fair Market Value
Short-term:
Corporate bonds	$	69,220	$	—	$	33	$	69,187

Municipal bonds	2,424		—		1		2,423
Total	$	67,875	$	—	$	24	$	67,851

Short-term investment securities as of May 2, 2020, February 1, 2020, and May 4, 2019 all mature in one year or less.

Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

(h)    Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

Prepaid expenses as of May 2, 2020, February 1, 2020, and May 4, 2019 were $14.3 million, $17.2 million, and $16.7 million, respectively. Other current assets as of May 2, 2020, February 1, 2020, and May 4, 2019 were $40.3 million, $58.7 million, and $30.5 million, respectively.

Other Accrued Expenses

(i)    Other Accrued Expenses

Other accrued expenses include accrued capital expenditures of $34.2 million, $28.9 million, and $21.5 million as of May 2, 2020, February 1, 2020, and May 4, 2019, respectively.
