Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (a) Description of Business Five Below, Inc. (collectively referred to herein with its wholly owned subsidiary as the "Company") is a specialty value retailer offering merchandise targeted at the tween and teen demographic. The Company offers an edited assortment of products, with most priced at $5 and below. The Company’s edited assortment of products includes select brands and licensed merchandise. The Company believes its merchandise is readily available, and that there are a number of potential vendors that could be utilized, if necessary, under approximately the same terms the Company is currently receiving; thus, it is not dependent on a single vendor or a group of vendors. The Company is incorporated in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and, as of May 2, 2020 , operated in 36 states that include Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, West Virginia, North Carolina, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, Georgia, Texas, Tennessee, Maine, Alabama, Kentucky, Kansas, Florida, South Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana, Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Minnesota, California, Arkansas, Iowa, Nebraska, and Arizona. As of May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019 , the Company operated 920 stores and 789 stores, respectively, each operating under the name “Five Below”, and sells merchandise on the internet, through the Company's fivebelow.com e-commerce website. (b) Impact of COVID-19 The outbreak of the coronavirus (or COVID-19) has been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization, has significantly disrupted businesses around the world, and has adversely impacted the Company’s business operations and results of operations for the first quarter of 2020. On March 13, 2020, the President of the United States declared a national emergency as a result of the outbreak in the United States. Federal, state and local governments and private entities have mandated various restrictions, including travel restrictions, restrictions on public gatherings, stay at home orders and advisories, and quarantining of people who may have been exposed to the virus. Such mandates have required reduction of operating hours and forced temporary closures of certain retailers and other businesses. It is impossible to predict the effect and ultimate impact of the pandemic as the situation continues to evolve. As a result of these restrictions and out of concern for its customers and employees, the Company temporarily closed all of its stores as of March 20, 2020 . The Company began reopening its stores at the end of April in compliance with federal, state and local requirements. As a result of the temporary store closures, the Company withheld store rent for the closure period. The Company has been actively negotiating with its landlords on rent deferrals and abatements related to this closure period and has resumed rent payments for reopened locations. Although the Company expects to favorably resolve these negotiations with its landlords, there can be no assurances in that regard, and all or some of these landlords could claim the Company’s failure to pay rent is a default under its leases. If such claims were made and a significant number of such claims were to prevail, this could have a material adverse impact on the Company's business, financial condition, profitability and cash flows, including future growth. As of May 2, 2020, 111 stores had reopened to the general public, and as of the date of this filing, approximately 90% of our stores have been reopened to the general public. Additionally, the Company launched a new service, offering curbside pick-up where stores are not otherwise permitted to be open to the public. While the ultimate health and economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is highly uncertain, the Company expects that its business operations and results of operations, including net sales, earnings and cash flows, will be materially impacted for the foreseeable future, as a result of: • temporary closure of Company stores; • decreased customer traffic in stores, including, without limitation, as the result of limitations on the number of persons permitted in stores at one time by certain local and state regulations; • uncertainty of the extent to which customers will maintain purchases through our e-commerce website and through curbside pickup (where stores remain closed to the public); • changes in consumer confidence and consumer spending habits, including spending for the merchandise that the Company sells, and negative trends in consumer purchasing patterns due to changes in consumers’ disposable income, credit availability and debt levels; • disruption to the Company’s supply chain including the manufacturing, supply, distribution, transportation and delivery of products; and • a slowdown in the U.S. and global economies, and an uncertain global economic outlook or a potential credit crisis. To seek to mitigate the effects of the pandemic and to create financial flexibility, the Company has taken the following actions: • a majority of its store and distribution center employees were furloughed in March and the Company covered the cost of health benefits for such furloughed employees through the end of May; • the Company implemented a voluntary temporary base salary reduction of 50% for Joel Anderson, its Chief Executive Officer, and a 25% base salary reduction for the remainder of the executive leadership team that reports into Mr. Anderson; • its Board of Directors elected to forgo its quarterly cash retainers for the first quarter of 2020; • the Company implemented a temporary pay reduction for all salaried corporate associates and certain field and supply chain leadership and delayed annual salary increases for corporate associates; • the Company elected to defer the payment of the employer's portion of FICA taxes as allowed by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security ("CARES") Act; • the Company implemented significant non-payroll expense reductions, including advertising, occupancy and other store operating expenses, distribution and corporate office operating expenses, as well as professional and consulting fees; • the Company temporarily ceased paying rent on all closed store locations starting in April, is paying rent going forward in connection with store re-openings and plans to negotiate with its landlords on rent adjustments where appropriate for such stores; • the Company cancelled certain vendor orders and delayed receipts on others in order to manage inventory levels, and extended payment terms for product and non-product vendors; • the Company significantly reduced its 2020 capital expenditure budget, including reducing the number of new stores to be opened in 2020 and delaying purchase and construction of a new Midwest distribution center; and • the Company amended its credit facility and increased its line of credit from $50 million to $225 million . (c) Fiscal Year The Company operates on a 52/53-week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to January 31. References to "fiscal year 2020" or "fiscal 2020" refer to the period from February 2, 2020 to January 30, 2021, which is a 52-week fiscal year. References to "fiscal year 2019" or "fiscal 2019" refer to the period from February 3, 2019 to February 1, 2020, which is a 52-week fiscal year. The fiscal quarters ended May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019 refer to the thirteen weeks ended as of those dates. (d) Basis of Presentation The consolidated balance sheets as of May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019 , the consolidated statements of operations for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019 , the consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019 have been prepared by the Company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim reporting and are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the aforementioned financial statements include all known adjustments (which consist primarily of normal, recurring accruals, estimates and assumptions that impact the financial statements) necessary to present fairly the financial position at the balance sheet dates and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods ended May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019 . The balance sheet as of February 1, 2020 , presented herein, has been derived from the audited balance sheet included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2019 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 19, 2020 and referred to herein as the “Annual Report,” but does not include all annual disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2020 and footnotes thereto included in the Annual Report. The consolidated results of operations for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 2020 and May 4, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the consolidated operating results for the year ending January 30, 2021 or any other period. The Company's business is seasonal and as a result, the Company's net sales fluctuate from quarter to quarter. Net sales are usually highest in the fourth fiscal quarter due to the year-end holiday season. (e) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases.” ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to record assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. The updated guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. On February 3, 2019, the Company adopted this pronouncement on a modified retrospective basis and applied the new standard to all leases. As a result, comparative financial information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which includes, among other things, the ability to carry forward the existing lease classification. The Company also elected the practical expedient related to land easements, allowing the Company to carry forward its accounting treatment for land easements on existing agreements. At adoption, the new standard had a material impact on the Company's balance sheets resulting in an increase in net assets and liabilities of approximately $618 million , as the Company has a significant number of leases for its stores. Although the standard impacts the treatment of certain initial direct leases costs that were previously capitalizable, it did not materially impact the Company's consolidated statements of operations and had no impact on the Company's cash flows. See Note 3 ‘‘Leases’’ for additional information. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, "Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract." ASU 2018-15 requires implementation costs incurred by customers in cloud computing arrangements to be deferred over the noncancelable term of the cloud computing arrangements plus any optional renewal periods (1) that are reasonably certain to be exercised by the customer or (2) for which exercise of the renewal option is controlled by the cloud service provider. The effective date of this pronouncement is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. The standard can be adopted either using the prospective or retrospective transition approach. During the thirteen weeks ended November 3, 2018, the Company adopted the pronouncement using the prospective transition method and it did not have a significant impact to the Company's financial statements. In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, "Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses," which addresses certain fair value disclosure requirements, the measurement basis under the measurement alternative and which equity securities have to be remeasured at historical exchange rates. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Targeted Transition Relief," which gives entities the ability to irrevocably elect the fair value option in Subtopic 825-10 for certain existing financial assets upon transition to ASU 2016-13. The effective date of the standards will be for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The new standard will be applied using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the effective date to align the Company's credit loss methodology with the new standard. The Company adopted the standard on February 2, 2020. The adoption did not impact the Company's financial statements. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting" ("ASU 2020-04"). The pronouncement provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the current guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The guidance was effective upon issuance and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated on or before December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2020-04 will have on its consolidated financial statements. (f) Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the carrying amount of property and equipment, valuation allowances for inventories, income taxes, share-based compensation expense and the incremental borrowing rate utilized in operating lease liabilities. (g) Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified using the following hierarchy, which is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation at the measurement date: Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Inputs, other than Level 1, that are either directly or indirectly observable. Level 3: Unobservable inputs developed using the Company’s estimates and assumptions which reflect those that market participants would use. The classification of fair value measurements within the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement. The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash equivalents, short-term investment securities, accounts payable, and borrowings, if any, under a line of credit. The Company believes that: (1) the carrying value of cash equivalents and accounts payable are representative of their respective fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments; and (2) the carrying value of the borrowings, if any, under the line of credit approximates fair value because the line of credit’s interest rates vary with market interest rates. Under the fair value hierarchy, the fair market values of the short-term investments in corporate bonds are level 1 while the short-term investments in municipal bonds are level 2. The fair market values of level 2 instruments are determined by management with the assistance of a third-party pricing service. Since quoted prices in active markets for identical assets are not available, these prices are determined by the third-party pricing service using observable market information such as quotes from less active markets and quoted prices of similar securities. As of May 2, 2020 , February 1, 2020 , and May 4, 2019 , the Company had cash equivalents of $54.0 million , $200.1 million and $188.0 million , respectively. The Company’s cash equivalents consist of credit and debit card receivables, money market funds, and corporate bonds with original maturities of 90 days or less. Fair value for cash equivalents was determined based on level 1 inputs. As of May 2, 2020 , February 1, 2020 , and May 4, 2019 , the Company's short-term investment securities are classified as held-to-maturity since the Company has the intent and ability to hold the investments to maturity. Such securities are carried at amortized cost plus accrued interest and consist of the following (in thousands): As of May 2, 2020 Amortized Cost Gross Unrealized Gains Gross Unrealized Losses Fair Market Value Short-term: Corporate bonds $ 69,220 $ — $ 33 $ 69,187 Total $ 69,220 $ — $ 33 $ 69,187 As of February 1, 2020 Amortized Cost Gross Unrealized Gains Gross Unrealized Losses Fair Market Value Short-term: Corporate bonds $ 58,625 $ — $ 4 $ 58,621 Municipal bonds 604 — — 604 Total $ 59,229 $ — $ 4 $ 59,225 As of May 4, 2019 Amortized Cost Gross Unrealized Gains Gross Unrealized Losses Fair Market Value Short-term: Corporate bonds $ 65,451 $ — $ 23 $ 65,428 Municipal bonds 2,424 — 1 2,423 Total $ 67,875 $ — $ 24 $ 67,851 Short-term investment securities as of May 2, 2020 , February 1, 2020 , and May 4, 2019 all mature in one year or less. (h) Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets Prepaid expenses as of May 2, 2020 , February 1, 2020 , and May 4, 2019 were $14.3 million , $17.2 million , and $16.7 million , respectively. Other current assets as of May 2, 2020 , February 1, 2020 , and May 4, 2019 were $40.3 million , $58.7 million , and $30.5 million (i) Other Accrued Expenses Other accrued expenses include accrued capital expenditures of $34.2 million , $28.9 million , and $21.5 million as of May 2, 2020 , February 1, 2020 , and May 4, 2019 , respectively. |
