ANNUNCIO PUBBLICITARIO

Joel Anderson, President and CEO of Five Below, stated, “We delivered earnings per share within our guidance range despite lower than expected sales, which we believe were largely driven by the impact of accelerated inflation on our customers’ purchasing behavior during the quarter. We have revised our guidance for the year to reflect our year-to-date performance and updated second half outlook.”

Mr. Anderson added, “We remain focused on our long-term opportunities and Triple-Double goals, including opening 1,000 new stores over the next several years and converting the majority of our chain to the Five Beyond concept. New stores remain our growth driver and we are excited to open approximately 160 new stores this year while preparing to open a record 200-plus stores next year. We will continue to provide our customers an amazing shopping experience with fresh, new WOW products at extreme value, which we believe becomes even more important during the holidays.”
