Such forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward- looking terminology, such as “remain,” “believe,” “outlook,” “expect,” “assume,” “proforma,” and similar terminology. These risks and uncertainties include factors such as (i) any ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic due to new variants or efficacy and rate of vaccinations, as well as related measures taken by governmental or regulatory authorities to combat the pandemic, including the impact of federal vaccine mandates on our workforce and whether additional government stimulus payments or supplemental unemployment benefits will be approved, and the nature, amount and timing of any such payments or benefits, (ii) the possibility that the operational, strategic and shareholder value creation opportunities expected from the separation and spin-off of the Aaron’s Business into what is now The Aaron’s Company, Inc. may not be achieved in a timely manner, or at all; (iii) the failure of that separation to qualify for the expected tax treatment; (iv) changes in the enforcement and interpretation of existing laws and regulations and the adoption of new laws and regulations that may unfavorably impact our business; (v) legal and regulatory proceedings and investigations, including those related to consumer protection laws and regulations, customer privacy, third party and employee fraud and information security; (vi) the risks associated with our strategy and strategic priorities not being successful, including our e-commerce and real estate repositioning and optimization initiatives or being more costly than anticipated; (vii) risks associated with the challenges faced by our business, including the commoditization of consumer electronics and our high fixed-cost operating model; (viii) increased competition from traditional and virtual lease-to-own competitors, as well as from traditional and online retailers and other competitors; (ix) financial challenges faced by our franchisees; (x) increases in lease merchandise write-offs, and the potential limited duration and impact of stimulus and other government payments made by Federal and State governments to counteract the economic impact of the pandemic; (xi) the availability and prices of supply chain resources, including products and transportation; and (xii) the other risks and uncertainties discussed under “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. Statements in this press release that are “forward-looking” include without limitation statements about: (i) the execution of our key strategic priorities; (ii) the growth and other benefits we expect from executing those priorities; (iii) our 2022 financial performance outlook; and (iv) the impact on our 2022 financial performance of any additional rounds of government stimulus payments. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this presentation. Except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances after the date of this press release. This presentation contains certain financial information in a format not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Please see the appendix to this presentation for a definition of certain key performance indicators, such as same store revenues, and non-GAAP financial measures, such as EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP net earnings, non-GAAP net earnings per share and free cash flow, shown in this presentation. Management believes that presentation of these non-GAAP and other financial measures are useful because it gives investors supplemental information to evaluate and compare the underlying operating performance from period to period. Non-GAAP financial measures, however, should not be used as a substitute for, or be considered superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the nearest comparable GAAP financial measure is included in the appendix to this presentation.

We report our financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). We supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under GAAP with certain non-GAAP financial information. These non-GAAP financial measures, however, should not be used as a substitute for, or considered superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as our GAAP basis results. Further, we caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definitions of non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, same store revenues, and free cash flow may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies, because not all companies and analysts calculate these measures in the same manner. We encourage investors to review our financial statements and other information filed with the SEC in conjunction with the information included in this presentation. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the corresponding amounts prepared in accordance with GAAP appears in the tables of the Appendix of this presentation. The reconciliations provide additional information as to the items and amounts that have been excluded from the adjusted non-GAAP measures. Non-GAAP net earnings, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are supplemental measures of our performance that are not calculated in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP net earnings and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share for 2021 exclude certain charges including amortization expense resulting from franchisee acquisitions, restructuring charges, separation costs associated with the separation and distribution transaction that resulted in our spin-off into a separate publicly-traded company, and transaction costs associated with the announced acquisition of BrandsMart. Non- GAAP net earnings and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share for 2020 exclude certain charges including separation and retirement costs, amortization expense resulting from franchisee acquisitions, early termination charges incurred to terminate a sales and marketing agreement, goodwill impairment charges, restructuring charges, loss on extinguishment of debt, and an income tax benefit resulting from the revaluation of a net operating loss carryback. The amounts for these pre-tax non-GAAP adjustments, which are tax-effected using estimated tax rates which are commensurate with non-GAAP pre-tax earnings, can be found in the Reconciliation of Net Earnings (Loss) and Earnings Per Share Assuming Dilution to non-GAAP Net Earnings (Loss) and Earnings Per Share Assuming Dilution table in this presentation. The EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA figures presented in this press release are calculated as the Company’s earnings (loss) before interest expense, depreciation on property, plant and equipment, amortization of intangible assets and income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes the other adjustments described in the calculation of non-GAAP net earnings above. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenues. The amounts for these pre-tax non-GAAP adjustments can be found in the Quarterly EBITDA tables in this presentation. 19 Use and Definitions of Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures (1 of 2)

Management believes that non-GAAP net earnings, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide relevant and useful information, and are widely used by analysts, investors and competitors in our industry as well as by our management in assessing both consolidated and business unit performance. Non-GAAP net earnings and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share provide management and investors with an understanding of the results from the primary operations of our business by excluding the effects of certain items that generally arose from larger, one-time transactions that are not reflective of the ordinary earnings activity of our operations or transactions that have variability and volatility of the amount. This measure may be useful to an investor in evaluating the underlying operating performance of our business. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA also provide management and investors with an understanding of one aspect of earnings before the impact of investing and financing charges and income taxes. These measures may be useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance and liquidity because the measures: • Are widely used by investors to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items excluded from the calculation of such measure, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods, book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired, among other factors. • Are a financial measurement that is used by rating agencies, lenders and other parties to evaluate our creditworthiness. • Are used by our management for various purposes, including as a measure of performance of our operating entities and as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting. The Free Cash Flow figures presented in this presentation are calculated as the Company's cash flows provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. Management believes that Free Cash Flow is an important measure of liquidity provides relevant and useful information, and are widely used by analysts, investors and competitors in our industry as well as by our management in assessing liquidity. Non-GAAP financial measures, however, should not be used as a substitute for, or considered superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as the Company’s GAAP basis net earnings and diluted earnings per share, the Company’s GAAP revenues and earnings before income taxes and GAAP cash from operating activities, which are also presented in the presentation. Further, we caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definitions of non-GAAP net earnings, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies, because not all companies and analysts calculate these measures in the same manner. When we provide forward looking expectations of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and free cash flow, a reconciliation of differences between the non-GAAP expectations and the corresponding GAAP measures generally are not available without unreasonable effort due to high variability, complexity, and limited visibility as to items that would be excluded from the GAAP measure in the relevant future period such as restructuring charges related to our business transformation initiatives, including real estate repositioning, and other operational costs we may incur in connection with, and after, becoming a separate, publicly traded company, including, for example, additional personnel costs that we may not have fully anticipated. The variability of the excluded items may have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on our future GAAP results. 20 Use and Definitions of Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures (2 of 2)

While the inclusion of this adjustment is not necessary to reconcile from Non-GAAP earnings before income taxes to Non-GAAP net earnings in the above table, it is necessary to reconcile from losses per share assuming dilution (based on GAAP net earnings) to Non- GAAP earnings per share assuming dilution for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021. 2 In some cases, the sum of individual EPS amounts may not equal total non-GAAP EPS calculations due to rounding.
