“I'd like to start by adding my sincere thanks to the Five Below team for another outstanding quarter. The organization's continued collaboration and relentless focus on our customer is reflected in the results we're sharing today.”

“I think the most important thing that I would highlight is what we're up against as we think about Q2, Q3, and Q4. We're going to start comping some really, really tough growth quarters.”

“Before discussing performance in the quarter, let me start by sharing perspective on the broader operating environment. The macroeconomic environment is evolving fast with increasing pressure on the consumer.”
