Thomas Vellios, Co-Founder, President and CEO, stated: "We are extremely pleased with our fourth quarter and full-year results which demonstrate that our dynamic, trend-right merchandise offering, differentiated shopping experience and value price-points continue to resonate with both new and existing customers alike. The strong holiday quarter capped a year in which we delivered 41% sales growth and 50% adjusted operating income growth. Our new stores continue to illustrate the universal appeal, consistency and strength of our model with the above-plan performance of our 2012 class driven by openings in new markets like Atlanta, St. Louis and outstate Michigan, as well as existing markets where we are expanding our presence. In addition, our comparable stores delivered a strong 7% sales increase for the year on a 52 week basis. I am extremely proud of the entire Five Below team and
their contributions that drove our 2012 performance."
Mr. Vellios added, "As we look to 2013, the planned 60 net store openings include promising new markets in Texas, as well as existing markets that offer significant opportunities for expansion. Our second distribution center in Olive Branch, Mississippi is expected to be operational in May of this year, and we continue to invest in talent, technology and systems as we strengthen our infrastructure and solidify the foundation for our continued growth."

Non-GAAP Information
This press release includes non-GAAP adjusted operating income, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted weighted average common shares outstanding and adjusted diluted income per common share, each a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company has reconciled these non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in 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 2012 diluted income per common share and actual results on a comparable basis with its quarterly
and fiscal year 2011 results. In evaluating these non-GAAP financial measures, investors should be aware that in the future the Company may incur expenses or be involved in transactions that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. The Company's presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed to imply that its future results will be unaffected by any such adjustments. The Company has provided this information as a means to evaluate the results of its ongoing operations. Other companies in the Company's industry may calculate these items differently than it does. Each of these measures is not a measure of performance under GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and investors
should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported under GAAP.
Forward-Looking Statements:
This news release includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 as contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which reflect management's current views and estimates regarding the Company's industry, business strategy, goals and expectations concerning its market position, future operations, margins, profitability, capital expenditures, liquidity and capital resources and other financial and operating information. Investors can identify these statements by the fact that they use words such as "anticipate,""assume," "believe," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "plan," "potential," "predict," "project," "future" and similar terms and phrases. The Company cannot assure investors that future developments affecting the Company will be
those that it has anticipated. Actual results may differ materially from these expectations due to risks relating to the Company's strategy and expansion plans, the availability of suitable new store locations, risks that consumer spending may decline and that U.S. and global macroeconomic conditions may worsen, risks related to the Company's continued retention of its senior management and other key personnel, risks relating to changes in consumer preferences and economic conditions, risks relating to the Company's distribution centers, quality or safety concerns about the Company's merchandise, events that may affect the Company's vendors, increased competition from other retailers, risks relating to trade restrictions, risks associated with leasing substantial amounts of space, and other factors that are set forth in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC"), including risk factors contained in the Company's final prospectus relating to the secondary public offering dated January 29, 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.
