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 July 30, 2022, operated in 40 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, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, Utah and New Mexico. As of July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021, the Company operated 1,252 stores and 1,121 stores, respectively, each operating under the name “Five Below,” and sold merchandise on the internet, through the Company's fivebelow.com e-commerce website as well as with an on demand third party delivery service to enable our customers to shop online and receive convenient same day delivery.

(b)Fiscal Year

The Company operates on a 52/53-week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to January 31. References to "fiscal year 2022" or "fiscal 2022" refer to the period from January 30, 2022 to January 28, 2023, which is a 52-week fiscal year. References to "fiscal year 2021" or "fiscal 2021" refer to the period from January 31, 2021 to January 29, 2022, which is a 52-week fiscal year. The fiscal quarters ended July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021 refer to the thirteen weeks ended as of those dates. The year-to-date periods ended July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021 refer to the twenty-six weeks ended as of those dates.

(c)Basis of Presentation

The consolidated balance sheets as of July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021, the consolidated statements of operations for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021, the consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021 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 July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021. The balance sheet as of January 29, 2022, presented herein, has been derived from the audited balance sheet included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2021 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2022 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 consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2022 and footnotes thereto included in the Annual Report. The consolidated results of operations for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the consolidated operating results for the year ending January 28, 2023 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.

(d)Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

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.

9

(e)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, net realizable value for inventories, income taxes, share-based compensation expense, the incremental borrowing rate utilized in operating lease liabilities, equity method investments and notes receivable.

(f)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 are based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement.

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash equivalents, investment securities, accounts payable, borrowings, if any, under a line of credit, equity method investments and notes receivable. 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 cash equivalents and the investments in corporate bonds are Level 1 while the 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 July 30, 2022, January 29, 2022 and July 31, 2021, the Company had cash equivalents of $115.0 million, $41.3 million and $73.9 million, respectively. The Company’s cash equivalents consist of cash management solutions, credit and debit card receivables, money market funds, corporate bonds and municipal bonds with original maturities of 90 days or less. Fair value for cash equivalents was determined based on Level 1 inputs.

As of July 30, 2022, January 29, 2022 and July 31, 2021, the Company's 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 July 30, 2022
	Amortized Cost		Gross Unrealized Gains		Gross Unrealized Losses		Fair Market Value
Short-term:

Long-term:
Municipal bonds	1,104		1		—		1,105
Total	$	1,104	$	1	$	—	$	1,105

Short-term investment securities as of July 30, 2022, January 29, 2022 and July 31, 2021 all mature in one year or less. Long-term investment securities as of January 29, 2022 and July 31, 2021 all mature after one year but in less than three years.

(g)Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

Prepaid expenses as of July 30, 2022, January 29, 2022 and July 31, 2021 were $33.0 million, $26.4 million, and $23.4 million, respectively. Other current assets as of July 30, 2022, January 29, 2022 and July 31, 2021 were $74.8 million, $69.8 million, and $46.1 million, respectively.

(h)Other Accrued Expenses

Other accrued expenses include accrued capital expenditures of $40.8 million, $41.7 million, and $46.4 million as of July 30, 2022, January 29, 2022 and July 31, 2021, respectively.

(i)Deferred Compensation

The Five Below, Inc. Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Deferred Comp Plan") and a related, irrevocable grantor trust (the "Trust") provides eligible key employees with the opportunity to elect to defer up to 80% of their eligible compensation. The Company may make discretionary contributions, at the discretion of the Board. Payments under the Deferred Comp Plan will be made from the general assets of the Company or from the assets of the Trust, funded by the Company. The related liability is recorded as deferred compensation and included in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

(j)Equity Method Investments

The Company uses the equity method to account for its investments in which the Company is deemed to have the ability to exercise significant influence over an investee’s operating and financial policies or in which the Company holds a significant partnership or limited liability company interest. Equity method investments are initially recorded at cost in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The cost is adjusted to recognize the Company's proportionate share of the investee’s net income or loss after the date of investment and is also adjusted for any impairments resulting from other-than-temporary declines in fair value that is less than its carrying value.

11

(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 customer receives the product as control transfers upon delivery. Returns subsequent to the period end are immaterial; accordingly, no significant 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. As permitted by applicable accounting guidance, ASU 2014-09 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," the Company has elected to exclude all sales taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities 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.

During the thirteen weeks ended July 30, 2022, the Company committed to 45 new store leases with average terms of approximately 10 years that have future minimum lease payments of approximately $79.8 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 July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021, the weighted average remaining lease term for the Company's operating leases was 7.7 years and 7.9 years, respectively, and the weighted average discount rate was 5.2% and 6.2%, respectively.

(4) Income Per Common Share

Basic income per common share amounts are calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted 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 dilutive impact, if any, for performance-based restricted stock units, which are subject to market conditions based on the Company's total shareholder return relative to a pre-defined peer group, are included in the weighted average shares.

13

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

	Thirteen Weeks Ended				Twenty-Six Weeks Ended
	July 30, 2022		July 31, 2021		July 30, 2022		July 31, 2021
Numerator:
Net income	$	41,344	$	64,841	$	74,062	$	114,437
Denominator:
Weighted average common shares outstanding - basic	55,498,471		56,007,970		55,572,425		55,989,399
Dilutive impact of options, restricted stock units and employee stock purchase plan	147,568		291,521		167,327		297,696
Weighted average common shares outstanding - diluted	55,646,039		56,299,491		55,739,752		56,287,095
Per common share:
Basic income per common share	$	0.74	$	1.16	$	1.33	$	2.04
Diluted income per common share	$	0.74	$	1.15	$	1.33	$	2.03

The effects of the assumed vesting of restricted stock units for 188,656 shares of common stock for the thirteen weeks ended July 30, 2022 were excluded from the calculation of diluted income per share, as their impact would have been anti-dilutive.

The effects of the assumed vesting of restricted stock units for 22,845 shares of common stock for the thirteen weeks ended July 31, 2021 were excluded from the calculation of diluted income per share, as their impact would have been anti-dilutive.

The effects of the assumed vesting of restricted stock units for 103,553 shares of common stock for the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022 were excluded from the calculation of diluted income per share, as their impact would have been anti-dilutive.

The effects of the assumed vesting of restricted stock units for 11,835 shares of common stock for the twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2021 were excluded from the calculation of diluted income per share, as their impact would have been anti-dilutive.

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

(5)Line of Credit

On January 27, 2021, the Company entered into a First Amendment to Credit Agreement (the "First Amendment") which amended the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended by the Fifth Amendment, the "Credit Agreement") dated April 24, 2020 among the Company, 1616 Holdings, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("1616 Holdings" and together with the Company, the "Loan Parties"), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as administrative agent (the "Agent"), and other lenders party thereto (the "Lenders").

The Credit Agreement provides for a secured asset-based revolving line of credit in the amount of up to $225.0 million (the "Revolving Credit Facility"). Advances under the 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. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, inventory appraisals and certain other diligence items are deferred, with reduced advance rates during the period that such appraisals have not been delivered. The Revolving Credit Facility expires on the earliest to occur of (i) April 24, 2023 or (ii) an event of default.

The Revolving Credit Facility may be increased up to $150.0 million, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining commitments from one or more Lenders (the "Accordion"). Pursuant to the First Amendment, the Company obtained commitments from the Lenders that would allow the Company at its election (subject only to satisfaction of certain customary conditions such as the absence of any Event of Default), to increase the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility by an aggregate principal amount up to $50.0 million within the Accordion (the "Committed Increase"). The entire amount of the Revolving Credit Facility is available for the issuance of letters of credit and allows for swingline loans.

The 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 0.25% to 0.75% or (b) a LIBOR rate plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.75%. Letter of credit fees range from 1.25% to 1.75%. The interest rate and letter of credit fees under the Credit Agreement are subject to an increase of 2.00% per annum upon an event of default.

14

The Credit Agreement contains customary covenants that limit, absent lender approval, the ability of the 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 with affiliates, merge, dissolve, repay certain indebtedness, change the nature of the 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 the Company to undertake otherwise restricted activities if it satisfies certain conditions. In addition, the Company will be required to maintain availability of not less than (i) 12.5% of the lesser of (x) aggregate commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility and (y) the borrowing base (the "loan cap") during the period that inventory appraisals have not been delivered as described above and (ii) at all other times 10.0% of the loan cap.

If there exists an event of default or availability under the 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 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 Credit Agreement).

The 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 Credit Agreement. Amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility may become due upon events of default (subject to any applicable grace or cure periods).

All obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by 1616 Holdings and secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and 1616 Holdings.

As of July 30, 2022, the Company had no borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and had approximately $202 million available under the Revolving Credit Facility.

As of July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with the covenants applicable to it under the Credit Agreement.

(6)Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

Other Contractual Commitments

As of July 30, 2022, the Company has other purchase commitments of approximately $22.1 million consisting of purchase agreements for materials that will be used in the construction of new stores.

In March 2021, the Company acquired land in Indianapolis, Indiana, to build an approximately 1,030,000 square foot distribution center to support the Company's anticipated growth. The total amount paid for the land and building was approximately $60 million. The Company began operating the distribution center in June 2022.

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

15

Equity Incentive Plan

Pursuant to the Company's 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which was approved in June 2022, 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 allows for the issuance of up to a total of 4.3 million shares under the Plan. As of July 30, 2022, approximately 3.5 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 twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022 was as follows:

	Options Outstanding	Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (in years)
Balance as of January 29, 2022	39,763	$	34.48	2.3
Exercised	(2,952)	22.62
Balance as of July 30, 2022	36,811	35.43		1.9
Exercisable as of July 30, 2022	36,811	$	35.43	1.9

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 or forfeited during the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022.

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 and PSUs granted to date generally have vesting periods ranging from less than one year to four years from the date of grant. The fair value of RSUs is the market price of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.

PSUs that have a performance condition are 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. The fair value of these PSUs is the market price of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Compensation is recognized over the vesting period and adjusted for the probability of achievement of the performance criteria.

PSUs that have a market condition based on our total shareholder return relative to a pre-defined peer group are subject to multi-year performance objectives with vesting periods of approximately three years from the date of grant (if the applicable performance objectives are achieved). The fair value of these PSUs are determined using a Monte Carlo valuation model.

RSU and PSU activity during the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022 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 January 29, 2022	254,295	$	126.93	349,236	$	163.16
Granted	108,241	141.28		127,598	165.90
Vested	(112,749)	108.00		—	—
Forfeited	(15,294)	139.47		(7,654)	161.29
Non-vested balance as of July 30, 2022	234,493	$	133.92	469,180	$	126.50

16

In connection with the vesting of RSUs and PSUs during the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022, the Company withheld 28,832 shares with an aggregate value of $4.4 million in satisfaction of minimum tax withholding obligations due upon vesting.

In connection with the vesting of RSUs and PSUs during the twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2021, the Company withheld 36,561 shares with an aggregate value of $7.0 million in satisfaction of minimum tax withholding obligations due upon vesting.

As of July 30, 2022, there was $44.9 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 2.4 years.

Share Repurchase Programs

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. This program expired on March 31, 2021.

On March 9, 2021, the Company's Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program for up to $100 million of the Company's common stock through March 31, 2024. In fiscal 2021, the Company purchased 368,699 shares at an aggregate cost of approximately $60.0 million, or average price of $162.75 per share.

The effective tax rates for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021 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 July 30, 2022 was higher than the thirteen weeks ended July 31, 2021 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 Company's consolidated statements of operations. The effective tax rate for the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022 was higher than the twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2021 primarily due to discrete items, which includes the impact of ASU 2016-09, "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting."

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 July 30, 2022, January 29, 2022 or July 31, 2021 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 and twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022 or July 31, 2021.

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.

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.

20

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;

•weather conditions; and

•the impacts associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, including closures of our stores, adverse impacts on our operations, and consumer sentiment regarding discretionary spending.

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 and tariffs, as well as shipping and handling costs, store occupancy, distribution and buying expenses. Shipping and handling costs include internal 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 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.

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. In addition, current global supply chain disruptions, the cost of freight and constraints on shipping capacity to transport inventory may have an adverse impact on our gross profit and results of operations, as well as our sales. 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.

21

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, other 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 July 30, 2022 Compared to the Thirteen Weeks Ended July 31, 2021

Net Sales

Net sales increased to $668.9 million in the thirteen weeks ended July 30, 2022 from $646.6 million in the thirteen weeks ended July 31, 2021, an increase of $22.3 million, or 3.5%. The increase was the result of a non-comparable sales increase of $58.1 million, partially offset by a comparable sales decrease of $35.8 million. The increase in non-comparable sales was primarily driven by the number of stores that opened in fiscal 2021 but have not been open for 15 full months and new stores that opened in fiscal 2022.

Comparable sales decreased 5.8%. This decrease resulted from decreases of approximately 4.3% in the average dollar value of transactions and approximately 1.7% in the number of transactions.

Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit

Cost of goods sold increased to $440.4 million in the thirteen weeks ended July 30, 2022 from $416.2 million in the thirteen weeks ended July 31, 2021, an increase of $24.2 million, or 5.8%. The increase in cost of goods sold was primarily the result of an increase in the merchandise cost of goods sold resulting from the increase in net sales. Also contributing to the increase in cost of goods sold was an increase in store occupancy costs resulting from new store openings.

Gross profit decreased to $228.5 million in the thirteen weeks ended July 30, 2022 from $230.3 million in the thirteen weeks ended July 31, 2021, a decrease of $1.8 million, or 0.8%. Gross margin decreased to 34.2% for the thirteen weeks ended July 30, 2022 from 35.6% for the thirteen weeks ended July 31, 2021, a decrease of approximately 140 basis points. The decrease in gross margin was primarily the result of an increase as a percentage of net sales in store occupancy costs. Also contributing to the decrease in gross margin was an increase as a percentage of net sales in merchandise cost of goods sold.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $172.5 million in the thirteen weeks ended July 30, 2022 from $144.2 million in the thirteen weeks ended July 31, 2021, an increase of $28.3 million, or 19.7%. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately 350 basis points to 25.8% in the thirteen weeks ended July 30, 2022 from 22.3% in the thirteen weeks ended July 31, 2021. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily the result of increases of $24.6 million in store-related expenses to support new store growth and $3.7 million in corporate-related expenses.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense decreased to $14.8 million in the thirteen weeks ended July 30, 2022 from $20.3 million in the thirteen weeks ended July 31, 2021, a decrease of $5.5 million or 27.1%. The decrease in income tax expense was primarily due to the $29.0 million decrease in pre-tax income, partially offset by 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 our consolidated statements of operations.

Our effective tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended July 30, 2022 was 26.3% compared to 23.8% in the thirteen weeks ended July 31, 2021. Our effective tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended July 30, 2022 was higher than the comparable prior year period primarily due to discrete items, which includes the impact of ASU 2016-09, "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting."

Net Income

As a result of the foregoing, net income decreased to $41.3 million in the thirteen weeks ended July 30, 2022 from $64.8 million in the thirteen weeks ended July 31, 2021, a decrease of $23.5 million or 36.2%.

23

Twenty-Six Weeks Ended July 30, 2022 Compared to the Twenty-Six Weeks Ended July 31, 2021

Net Sales

Net sales increased to $1,308.5 million in the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022 from $1,244.4 million in the twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2021, an increase of $64.1 million, or 5.2%. The increase was the result of a non-comparable sales increase of $120.7 million, partially offset by a comparable sales decrease of $56.6 million. The increase in non-comparable sales was primarily driven by the number of stores that opened in fiscal 2021 but have not been open for 15 full months and new stores that opened in fiscal 2022.

Comparable sales decreased 4.8%. This decrease resulted from decreases of approximately 3.1% in the average dollar value of transactions and approximately 1.7% in the number of transactions.

Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit

Cost of goods sold increased to $873.2 million in the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022 from $813.2 million in the twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2021, an increase of $60.0 million, or 7.4%. The increase in cost of goods sold was primarily the result of an increase in the merchandise cost of goods sold resulting from the increase in net sales. Also contributing to the increase in cost of goods sold was an increase in store occupancy costs resulting from new store openings.

Gross profit increased to $435.3 million in the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022 from $431.2 million in the twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2021, an increase of $4.1 million, or 1.0%. Gross margin decreased to 33.3% for the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022 from 34.7% for the twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2021, a decrease of approximately 140 basis points. The decrease in gross margin was primarily the result of an increase as a percentage of net sales in store occupancy costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $336.9 million in the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022 from $281.3 million in the twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2021, an increase of $55.6 million, or 19.8%. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately 320 basis points to 25.8% in the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022 from 22.6% in the twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2021. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily the result of increases of $42.6 million in store-related expenses to support new store growth and $13.0 million in corporate-related expenses.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense decreased to $24.1 million in the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022 from $33.4 million in the twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2021, a decrease of $9.3 million, or 27.7%. The decrease in income tax expense was primarily due to the $49.6 million decrease in pre-tax income, partially offset by discrete items, which includes the impact of ASU 2016-09, "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting."

Our effective tax rate for the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022 was 24.6% compared to 22.6% in the twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2021. Our effective tax rate for the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022 was higher than the comparable prior year period primarily due to discrete items, which includes the impact of ASU 2016-09, "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting."

Net Income

As a result of the foregoing, net income decreased to $74.1 million in the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022 from $114.4 million in the twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2021, a decrease of $40.3 million or 35.3%.

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 $235 million in fiscal 2022, which exclude the impact of tenant allowances, and which we expect to fund from cash generated from operations, cash on hand, investments and, as needed, borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility. We expect to incur approximately $85 million of our cash capital expenditure budget in fiscal 2022 to construct and open approximately 160 new stores of the planned 375 to 400 new stores over the next two fiscal years, with the remainder projected to be spent on our store relocations and remodels, our distribution centers, and our corporate infrastructure.

24

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.

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 Revolving Credit Facility, which expires in April 2023, as needed, and we expect that funding to continue. When we have used our 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 Revolving Credit Facility if and as needed. As of July 30, 2022, we did not have any direct borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and had approximately $202 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. This program expired on March 31, 2021.

On March 9, 2021, our Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program for up to $100 million of our common stock through March 21, 2024. In fiscal 2021, we purchased 368,699 shares at an aggregate cost of approximately $60.0 million, or average price of $162.75 per share. During the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022, we purchased 247,132 shares at an aggregate cost of approximately $40.0 million, or an average price of $161.88 per share. We have exhausted repurchases under this program.

On June 14, 2022, our Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program for up to $100 million of the Company's common stock through June 30, 2025.

Since approval of the share repurchase program in March 2018, we have purchased approximately 1,100,000 shares for an aggregate cost of approximately $150 million.

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 Revolving Credit Facility, which expires in April 2023, 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 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.

Cash Flows

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

	Twenty-Six Weeks Ended
	July 30, 2022		July 31, 2021
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	46.2	$	148.8
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities	87.8		(285.2)
Net cash used in financing activities	(43.9)		(6.2)
Net increase (decrease) during period in cash and cash equivalents (1)	$	90.1	$	(142.6)

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

Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities for the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022 was $46.2 million, a decrease of $102.6 million compared to the twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to changes in working capital and a decrease in operating cash flows from store performance.

Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities for the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022 was $87.8 million, an increase of $373.0 million compared to the twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to an increase in net sales, maturities and redemptions of investment securities and a decrease in capital expenditures.

25

Cash Used in Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities for the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022 was $43.9 million, an increase of $37.7 million compared to the twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the repurchase and retirement of common stock.

Line of Credit

On January 27, 2021, we entered into a First Amendment to Credit Agreement (the "First Amendment") which amended the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended by the Fifth Amendment, the "Credit Agreement") dated April 24, 2020 among the Company, 1616 Holdings, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("1616 Holdings" and together with the Company, the "Loan Parties"), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as administrative agent (the "Agent"), and other lenders party thereto (the "Lenders").

The Credit Agreement provides for a secured asset-based revolving line of credit in the amount of up to $225.0 million (the "Revolving Credit Facility"). Advances under the 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. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, inventory appraisals and certain other diligence items are deferred, with reduced advance rates during the period that such appraisals have not been delivered. The Revolving Credit Facility expires on the earliest to occur of (i) April 24, 2023 or (ii) an event of default.

The Revolving Credit Facility may be increased up to $150.0 million, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining commitments from one or more Lenders (the "Accordion"). Pursuant to the First Amendment, we obtained commitments from the Lenders that would allow us at our election (subject only to satisfaction of certain customary conditions such as the absence of any Event of Default), to increase the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility by an aggregate principal amount up to $50.0 million within the Accordion (the "Committed Increase"). The entire amount of the Revolving Credit Facility is available for the issuance of letters of credit and allows for swingline loans.

The 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 an applicable margin ranging from 0.25% to 0.75% or (b) a LIBOR rate plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.75%. Letter of credit fees range from 1.25% to 1.75%. The interest rate and letter of credit fees under the Credit Agreement are subject to an increase of 2.00% per annum upon an event of default.

The Credit Agreement contains customary covenants that limit, absent lender approval, the ability of the 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 with affiliates, merge, dissolve, repay certain indebtedness, change the nature of our 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 us to undertake otherwise restricted activities if it satisfies certain conditions. In addition, we will be required to maintain availability of not less than (i) 12.5% of the lesser of (x) aggregate commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility and (y) the borrowing base (the "loan cap") during the period that inventory appraisals have not been delivered as described above and (ii) at all other times 10% of the loan cap.

If there exists an event of default or availability under the 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 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 Credit Agreement).

The 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 Credit Agreement. Amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility may become due upon events of default (subject to any applicable grace or cure periods).

All obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by 1616 Holdings and secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and 1616 Holdings.

As of July 30, 2022, we had no borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and had approximately $202 million available under the Revolving Credit Facility.

As of July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021, we were in compliance with the covenants applicable to it under the Credit Agreement.

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 January 30, 2022 to July 30, 2022, we have entered into 88 new fully executed retail leases with average terms of approximately 10 years and other lease modifications that have future minimum lease payments of approximately $177.4 million.

In March 2021, we acquired land in Indianapolis, Indiana, to build an approximately 1,030,000 square foot distribution center to support our anticipated growth. The total amount paid for the land and building was approximately $60 million. We began operating the distribution center in June 2022.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

For the thirteen weeks ended July 30, 2022, 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.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

See "Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in "Part I. Financial Information, Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements" of this Form 10-Q, for a detailed description of recently issued accounting pronouncements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

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 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 a Revolving Credit Facility which includes a revolving line of credit, which bears interest at a variable rate. Because our 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 Revolving Credit Facility.

As of July 30, 2022, we had approximately $202 million available on the line of credit. The 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 0.25% to 0.75% or (b) a LIBOR rate plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.75%. Letter of credit fees range from 1.25% to 1.75%. The interest rate and letter of credit fees under the 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, on our historical results of operations and financial condition have been immaterial. We seek to minimize the impact of increasing prices and general inflation in a variety of ways, including, with respect to our merchandise, by sourcing from different vendors and changing our product mix. 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 July 30, 2022, 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.

28

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.

29

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. There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those previously disclosed in our Annual Report. You should carefully consider the risks described in our Annual Report, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described 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.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Summary of Significant Accounting PoliciesDescription 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 July 30, 2022, operated in 40 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, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, Utah and New Mexico. As of July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021, the Company operated 1,252 stores and 1,121 stores, respectively, each operating under the name “Five Below,” and sold merchandise on the internet, through the Company's fivebelow.com e-commerce website as well as with an on demand third party delivery service to enable our customers to shop online and receive convenient same day delivery.

Fiscal YearThe Company operates on a 52/53-week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to January 31. References to "fiscal year 2022" or "fiscal 2022" refer to the period from January 30, 2022 to January 28, 2023, which is a 52-week fiscal year. References to "fiscal year 2021" or "fiscal 2021" refer to the period from January 31, 2021 to January 29, 2022, which is a 52-week fiscal year. The fiscal quarters ended July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021 refer to the thirteen weeks ended as of those dates. The year-to-date periods ended July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021 refer to the twenty-six weeks ended as of those dates. Basis of PresentationThe consolidated balance sheets as of July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021, the consolidated statements of operations for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021, the consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021 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 July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021. The balance sheet as of January 29, 2022, presented herein, has been derived from the audited balance sheet included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2021 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2022 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 consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2022 and footnotes thereto included in the Annual Report. The consolidated results of operations for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the consolidated operating results for the year ending January 28, 2023 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 PronouncementsIn 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 EstimatesThe 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, net realizable value for inventories, income taxes, share-based compensation expense, the incremental borrowing rate utilized in operating lease liabilities, 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 are based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement.

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash equivalents, investment securities, accounts payable, borrowings, if any, under a line of credit, equity method investments and notes receivable. 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 cash equivalents and the investments in corporate bonds are Level 1 while the 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 July 30, 2022, January 29, 2022 and July 31, 2021, the Company had cash equivalents of $115.0 million, $41.3 million and $73.9 million, respectively. The Company’s cash equivalents consist of cash management solutions, credit and debit card receivables, money market funds, corporate bonds and municipal bonds with original maturities of 90 days or less. Fair value for cash equivalents was determined based on Level 1 inputs.

As of July 30, 2022, January 29, 2022 and July 31, 2021, the Company's 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):

Short-term investment securities as of July 30, 2022, January 29, 2022 and July 31, 2021 all mature in one year or less. Long-term investment securities as of January 29, 2022 and July 31, 2021 all mature after one year but in less than three yearsPrepaid Expenses and Other Current AssetsPrepaid expenses as of July 30, 2022, January 29, 2022 and July 31, 2021 were $33.0 million, $26.4 million, and $23.4 million, respectively. Other current assets as of July 30, 2022, January 29, 2022 and July 31, 2021 were $74.8 million, $69.8 million, and $46.1 million, respectively. Other Accrued ExpensesOther accrued expenses include accrued capital expenditures of $40.8 million, $41.7 million, and $46.4 million as of July 30, 2022, January 29, 2022 and July 31, 2021, respectively.Deferred CompensationThe Five Below, Inc. Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Deferred Comp Plan") and a related, irrevocable grantor trust (the "Trust") provides eligible key employees with the opportunity to elect to defer up to 80% of their eligible compensation. The Company may make discretionary contributions, at the discretion of the Board. Payments under the Deferred Comp Plan will be made from the general assets of the Company or from the assets of the Trust, funded by the Company. The related liability is recorded as deferred compensation and included in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.Equity Method InvestmentsThe Company uses the equity method to account for its investments in which the Company is deemed to have the ability to exercise significant influence over an investee’s operating and financial policies or in which the Company holds a significant partnership or limited liability company interest. Equity method investments are initially recorded at cost in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The cost is adjusted to recognize the Company's proportionate share of the investee’s net income or loss after the date of investment and is also adjusted for any impairments resulting from other-than-temporary declines in fair value that is less than its carrying value.

Revenue from Contract with Customer

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 customer receives the product as control transfers upon delivery. Returns subsequent to the period end are immaterial; accordingly, no significant 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. As permitted by applicable accounting guidance, ASU 2014-09 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," the Company has elected to exclude all sales taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities from net sales in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Leases [Abstract]

Leases

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.

During the thirteen weeks ended July 30, 2022, the Company committed to 45 new store leases with average terms of approximately 10 years that have future minimum lease payments of approximately $79.8 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 July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021, the weighted average remaining lease term for the Company's operating leases was 7.7 years and 7.9 years, respectively, and the weighted average discount rate was 5.2% and 6.2%, respectively.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Income Per Common Share

Income Per Common ShareBasic income per common share amounts are calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted 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 dilutive impact, if any, for performance-based restricted stock units, which are subject to market conditions based on the Company's total shareholder return relative to a pre-defined peer group, are included in the weighted average shares.

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

	Thirteen Weeks Ended				Twenty-Six Weeks Ended

The effects of the assumed vesting of restricted stock units for 188,656 shares of common stock for the thirteen weeks ended July 30, 2022 were excluded from the calculation of diluted income per share, as their impact would have been anti-dilutive.

The effects of the assumed vesting of restricted stock units for 22,845 shares of common stock for the thirteen weeks ended July 31, 2021 were excluded from the calculation of diluted income per share, as their impact would have been anti-dilutive.

The effects of the assumed vesting of restricted stock units for 103,553 shares of common stock for the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022 were excluded from the calculation of diluted income per share, as their impact would have been anti-dilutive.

The effects of the assumed vesting of restricted stock units for 11,835 shares of common stock for the twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2021 were excluded from the calculation of diluted income per share, as their impact would have been anti-dilutive.

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

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]

Line of Credit

Line of Credit

On January 27, 2021, the Company entered into a First Amendment to Credit Agreement (the "First Amendment") which amended the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended by the Fifth Amendment, the "Credit Agreement") dated April 24, 2020 among the Company, 1616 Holdings, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("1616 Holdings" and together with the Company, the "Loan Parties"), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as administrative agent (the "Agent"), and other lenders party thereto (the "Lenders").

The Credit Agreement provides for a secured asset-based revolving line of credit in the amount of up to $225.0 million (the "Revolving Credit Facility"). Advances under the 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. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, inventory appraisals and certain other diligence items are deferred, with reduced advance rates during the period that such appraisals have not been delivered. The Revolving Credit Facility expires on the earliest to occur of (i) April 24, 2023 or (ii) an event of default.

The Revolving Credit Facility may be increased up to $150.0 million, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining commitments from one or more Lenders (the "Accordion"). Pursuant to the First Amendment, the Company obtained commitments from the Lenders that would allow the Company at its election (subject only to satisfaction of certain customary conditions such as the absence of any Event of Default), to increase the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility by an aggregate principal amount up to $50.0 million within the Accordion (the "Committed Increase"). The entire amount of the Revolving Credit Facility is available for the issuance of letters of credit and allows for swingline loans.

The 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 0.25% to 0.75% or (b) a LIBOR rate plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.75%. Letter of credit fees range from 1.25% to 1.75%. The interest rate and letter of credit fees under the Credit Agreement are subject to an increase of 2.00% per annum upon an event of default.

The Credit Agreement contains customary covenants that limit, absent lender approval, the ability of the 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 with affiliates, merge, dissolve, repay certain indebtedness, change the nature of the 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 the Company to undertake otherwise restricted activities if it satisfies certain conditions. In addition, the Company will be required to maintain availability of not less than (i) 12.5% of the lesser of (x) aggregate commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility and (y) the borrowing base (the "loan cap") during the period that inventory appraisals have not been delivered as described above and (ii) at all other times 10.0% of the loan cap.

If there exists an event of default or availability under the 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 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 Credit Agreement).

The 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 Credit Agreement. Amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility may become due upon events of default (subject to any applicable grace or cure periods).

All obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by 1616 Holdings and secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and 1616 Holdings.

As of July 30, 2022, the Company had no borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and had approximately $202 million available under the Revolving Credit Facility.

As of July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with the covenants applicable to it under the Credit Agreement.

As of July 30, 2022, the Company has other purchase commitments of approximately $22.1 million consisting of purchase agreements for materials that will be used in the construction of new stores.

In March 2021, the Company acquired land in Indianapolis, Indiana, to build an approximately 1,030,000 square foot distribution center to support the Company's anticipated growth. The total amount paid for the land and building was approximately $60 million. The Company began operating the distribution center in June 2022.

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.

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]

Share-Based Compensation

Share-Based Compensation

Equity Incentive Plan

Pursuant to the Company's 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which was approved in June 2022, 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 allows for the issuance of up to a total of 4.3 million shares under the Plan. As of July 30, 2022, approximately 3.5 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 twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022 was as follows:

	Options Outstanding	Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (in years)
Balance as of January 29, 2022	39,763	$	34.48	2.3
Exercised	(2,952)	22.62
Balance as of July 30, 2022	36,811	35.43		1.9
Exercisable as of July 30, 2022	36,811	$	35.43	1.9

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 or forfeited during the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022.

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 and PSUs granted to date generally have vesting periods ranging from less than one year to four years from the date of grant. The fair value of RSUs is the market price of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.

PSUs that have a performance condition are 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. The fair value of these PSUs is the market price of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Compensation is recognized over the vesting period and adjusted for the probability of achievement of the performance criteria.

PSUs that have a market condition based on our total shareholder return relative to a pre-defined peer group are subject to multi-year performance objectives with vesting periods of approximately three years from the date of grant (if the applicable performance objectives are achieved). The fair value of these PSUs are determined using a Monte Carlo valuation model.

RSU and PSU activity during the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022 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 January 29, 2022	254,295	$	126.93	349,236	$	163.16
Granted	108,241	141.28		127,598	165.90
Vested	(112,749)	108.00		—	—
Forfeited	(15,294)	139.47		(7,654)	161.29
Non-vested balance as of July 30, 2022	234,493	$	133.92	469,180	$	126.50

In connection with the vesting of RSUs and PSUs during the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022, the Company withheld 28,832 shares with an aggregate value of $4.4 million in satisfaction of minimum tax withholding obligations due upon vesting.

In connection with the vesting of RSUs and PSUs during the twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2021, the Company withheld 36,561 shares with an aggregate value of $7.0 million in satisfaction of minimum tax withholding obligations due upon vesting.

As of July 30, 2022, there was $44.9 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 2.4 years.

Share Repurchase Programs

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. This program expired on March 31, 2021.

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 July 30, 2022, operated in 40 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, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, Utah and New Mexico.

Fiscal Year

Fiscal YearThe Company operates on a 52/53-week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to January 31. References to "fiscal year 2022" or "fiscal 2022" refer to the period from January 30, 2022 to January 28, 2023, which is a 52-week fiscal year. References to "fiscal year 2021" or "fiscal 2021" refer to the period from January 31, 2021 to January 29, 2022, which is a 52-week fiscal year. The fiscal quarters ended July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021 refer to the thirteen weeks ended as of those dates. The year-to-date periods ended July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021 refer to the twenty-six weeks ended as of those dates.

Basis of Presentation

Basis of PresentationThe consolidated balance sheets as of July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021, the consolidated statements of operations for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021, the consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021 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 July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021. The balance sheet as of January 29, 2022, presented herein, has been derived from the audited balance sheet included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2021 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2022 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 consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2022 and footnotes thereto included in the Annual Report. The consolidated results of operations for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks July 30, 2022 and July 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the consolidated operating results for the year ending January 28, 2023 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

Recently Issued Accounting PronouncementsIn 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.

Use of Estimates

Use of EstimatesThe 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, net realizable value for inventories, income taxes, share-based compensation expense, the incremental borrowing rate utilized in operating lease liabilities, equity method investments and notes receivable.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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 are based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement.

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash equivalents, investment securities, accounts payable, borrowings, if any, under a line of credit, equity method investments and notes receivable. 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 cash equivalents and the investments in corporate bonds are Level 1 while the 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 July 30, 2022, January 29, 2022 and July 31, 2021, the Company had cash equivalents of $115.0 million, $41.3 million and $73.9 million, respectively. The Company’s cash equivalents consist of cash management solutions, credit and debit card receivables, money market funds, corporate bonds and municipal bonds with original maturities of 90 days or less. Fair value for cash equivalents was determined based on Level 1 inputs.

As of July 30, 2022, January 29, 2022 and July 31, 2021, the Company's investment securities are classified as held-to-maturity since the Company has the intent and ability to hold the investments to maturity.Short-term investment securities as of July 30, 2022, January 29, 2022 and July 31, 2021 all mature in one year or less. Long-term investment securities as of January 29, 2022 and July 31, 2021 all mature after one year but in less than three years

Deferred Compensation

Deferred CompensationThe Five Below, Inc. Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Deferred Comp Plan") and a related, irrevocable grantor trust (the "Trust") provides eligible key employees with the opportunity to elect to defer up to 80% of their eligible compensation. The Company may make discretionary contributions, at the discretion of the Board. Payments under the Deferred Comp Plan will be made from the general assets of the Company or from the assets of the Trust, funded by the Company. The related liability is recorded as deferred compensation and included in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

Equity Method Investments

Equity Method InvestmentsThe Company uses the equity method to account for its investments in which the Company is deemed to have the ability to exercise significant influence over an investee’s operating and financial policies or in which the Company holds a significant partnership or limited liability company interest. Equity method investments are initially recorded at cost in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The cost is adjusted to recognize the Company's proportionate share of the investee’s net income or loss after the date of investment and is also adjusted for any impairments resulting from other-than-temporary declines in fair value that is less than its carrying value.

Revenue Transactions

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 customer receives the product as control transfers upon delivery. Returns subsequent to the period end are immaterial; accordingly, no significant 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. As permitted by applicable accounting guidance, ASU 2014-09 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," the Company has elected to exclude all sales taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities from net sales in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
