Raises Full Year 2013 Guidance
PHILADELPHIA, June 12, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Five Below, Inc. (Nasdaq:FIVE) today announced financial results for the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2013.
For the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2013:
-
Net sales increased by 33.1% to $95.6 million from $71.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012; comparable store sales increased by 4.2%.
-
Operating income was $3.2 million as compared to an operating loss of $2.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. Adjusted operating income, which excludes the impact of the founders' transaction in both periods (see GAAP/Non-GAAP reconciliation table), increased to $4.7 million as compared to $4.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012.
-
The Company opened 14 net new stores and ended the quarter with 258 stores in 18 states, an increase in stores of 30% from the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2012.
-
Net interest expense increased to $511 thousand from net interest income of $37 thousand in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The increase in net interest expense resulted from a $100 million term loan entered into in the second quarter of fiscal 2012, of which $65.5 million was repaid subsequent to the completion of the Company's initial public offering ("IPO") on July 24, 2012. In May 2013, subsequent to the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2013, $15.0 million of principal on the Term Loan Facility was repaid.
-
Net income was $1.6 million compared to a net loss of $1.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. Adjusted net income, which excludes the impact of the founders' transaction in both periods (see GAAP/Non-GAAP reconciliation table), was $2.5 million compared to $2.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2012.
-
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, diluted income per common share was $0.03 compared to a loss of $0.32 per share in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. Adjusted diluted income per common share, which is adjusted net income on an adjusted diluted weighted average common shares outstanding basis (see GAAP/Non-GAAP reconciliation table), was $0.05 in both the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and 2012.
Thomas Vellios, Co-Founder, President and CEO, stated: "The first quarter played out largely as we had expected and we are pleased to have delivered results that came in ahead of our original guidance. As we said a few weeks ago, once the headwinds facing consumers abated mid-quarter, we saw a strengthening in our traffic and sales patterns as our trend-right merchandise at extremely compelling prices resonated with our customers."
Mr. Vellios added, "Our new store opening plans for 2013 got off to a good start with 14 net new stores opened in the first quarter and we are on track for the planned 60 net openings this year. More than half of our new store openings will come in the back half of the year as we cluster the 15 planned openings in the Dallas and Austin metropolitan areas in Texas, which is a new market for us. And finally, we are pleased to announce that our new Olive Branch distribution center, just outside of Memphis, Tennessee, is now fully operational and began shipping to stores in May."
Balance sheet highlights as of May 4, 2013:
-
Cash and cash equivalents: $36.7 million
-
Total debt: $34.5 million
-
Total liquidity (cash and cash equivalents plus availability on a $20 million revolver facility): $56.1 million
Second Quarter and Fiscal 2013 Outlook:
For the second quarter of fiscal 2013, net sales are expected to be in the range of $112 million to $114 million based on opening fourteen new stores and assuming a 4%-5% increase in comparable store sales. GAAP net income is expected to be in the range of $2.7 million to $3.2 million, with a GAAP diluted income per common share range of $0.05 to $0.06 on approximately 53.8 million estimated weighted average shares outstanding. Excluding $1.9 million, or $0.04 per adjusted diluted share in tax-effected expenses related to the founders' transaction and the estimated costs associated with the secondary public offering, adjusted net income is expected to be approximately $4.6 million to $5.1 million, or $0.08 to $0.09 per diluted share based on estimated adjusted diluted weighted average shares outstanding of approximately 54.5 million.
For fiscal 2013, net sales are expected to be in the range of $524 million to $529 million based on opening 60 net new stores for the full year and assuming a 4% increase in comparable store sales. GAAP net income is expected to be in the range of $30.8 million to $32.4 million, with a GAAP diluted income per common share of $0.57 to $0.60 on approximately 53.8 million estimated weighted average shares outstanding. Excluding $4.7 million, or $0.09 per adjusted diluted share in tax-effected expenses related to the founders' transaction and the estimated costs associated with the secondary public offering, adjusted net income is expected to be in the range of $35.5 million to $37.1 million, or $0.65 to $0.68 per diluted share based on estimated adjusted diluted weighted average shares outstanding of approximately 54.6 million.

Non-GAAP Information
This press release includes non-GAAP adjusted operating income, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted weighted average shares outstanding and adjusted diluted income per common share, each a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company has reconciled these non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in tables accompanying this release. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures not only provide its management with comparable financial data for internal financial analysis but also provide meaningful supplemental information to investors. Specifically, these non-GAAP financial measures allow investors to better understand the performance of the Company's business and facilitate a meaningful evaluation of its quarterly and fiscal year 2013 diluted income per common share and actual results on a comparable basis with its quarterly and
fiscal year 2012 results. In evaluating these non-GAAP financial measures, investors should be aware that in the future the Company may incur expenses or be involved in transactions that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. The Company's presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed to imply that its future results will be unaffected by any such adjustments. The Company has provided this information as a means to evaluate the results of its ongoing operations. Other companies in the Company's industry may calculate these items differently than it does. Each of these measures is not a measure of performance under GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and investors
should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported under GAAP.
Forward-Looking Statements:
This news release includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 as contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which reflect management's current views and estimates regarding the Company's industry, business strategy, goals and expectations concerning its market position, future operations, margins, profitability, capital expenditures, liquidity and capital resources and other financial and operating information. Investors can identify these statements by the fact that they use words such as "anticipate," "assume," "believe," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "plan," "potential," "predict," "project," "future" and similar terms and phrases. The Company cannot assure investors that future developments affecting the Company will be
those that it has anticipated. Actual results may differ materially from these expectations due to risks relating to the Company's strategy and expansion plans, the availability of suitable new store locations, risks that consumer spending may decline and that U.S. and global macroeconomic conditions may worsen, risks related to the Company's continued retention of its senior management and other key personnel, risks relating to changes in consumer preferences and economic conditions, risks relating to the Company's distribution centers, quality or safety concerns about the Company's merchandise, events that may affect the Company's vendors, increased competition from other retailers, risks relating to trade restrictions, risks associated with leasing substantial amounts of space, and other factors that are set forth in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC"), including risk factors contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2013 filed with the SEC and available at www.sec.gov. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if any of the Company's assumptions prove incorrect, the Company's actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement made by the Company in this news release speaks only as of the date on which the Company makes it. Factors or events that could cause the Company's actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company to predict all of them. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any
forward looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by any applicable securities laws.
