Company Description

Five Below intends to use the proceeds it raises in its IPO to repay debt and for general corporate purposes. It mayuse some proceeds for capital improvements and other working capital. The company initially sought $150 millionbut managed to raise $163 million; it kept $72 million as net proceeds.The company has already invested in some capital improvements, including expanding its Delaware-baseddistribution center and updating its technologies to better support its growing retail chain. As part of its ongoingstrategy, Five Below is looking to open 50 new stores in the eastern US by the end of 2012. Ultimately, it hopes togrow the chain to some 2,000 stores in coming years.Aligned with its flourishing retail chain is the company's finances, which have been on the upswing in recent years.In 2011 the retailer's revenue was up 51% over 2010 figures, a trajectory that reflected thecompany's establishment of 50 new stores that year and the subsequent boost in sales. Its net income was up by128%.Prior to filing its IPO, Five Below was majority-owned by investment firm Advent International, which willcontinue as the controlling shareholder after the offering closes.
