“I am pleased that we delivered consolidated company results ahead of our earnings expectations despite a softer tax refund season and continued economic pressure on our customer. Our lease portfolio size ended the quarter larger than expected and continues to benefit from our lease decisioning optimization. We’ve updated our outlook for 2023 to reflect first quarter results, and we remain focused on enhancing profitability of the company through execution of our strategic growth and cost reduction initiatives.” Douglas Lindsay CEO, The Aaron’s Company, Inc.

Q1 2023 Key Themes 3 ▪ Earnings were ahead of internal expectations, due in part to reduced lease merchandise write-offs (“write-offs”) and continued implementation of improved expense controls, despite lower revenues in both segments ▪ Demand at Aaron’s and BrandsMart was impacted in the quarter due to cautious consumer sentiment resulting from a softer than expected tax refund season, recent banking sector disruptions, and ongoing inflationary and other economic pressures ▪ Lease portfolio size ended the quarter larger than internal expectations due to fewer exercises of early purchase options and reduced write-offs ▪ Enhancements to our lease decisioning model contributed to sequential improvements in write-offs and 32+ day customer lease non-renewal rate (“32+ day non-renewal rate”) ▪ Progress on our market optimization and cost reduction initiatives contributed meaningfully to our bottom line in the quarter

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information Non-GAAP net earnings, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, adjusted free cash flow, net debt, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are supplemental measures of our performance that are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Non-GAAP net earnings and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share for 2023 exclude certain charges including amortization expense resulting from 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 acquisition-related costs. Non-GAAP net earnings and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share for 2022 exclude certain charges including amortization expense resulting from acquisitions, restructuring charges and separation costs associated with the separation and distribution transaction that resulted in our spin-off into a separate publicly-traded company. 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 and Earnings Per Share Assuming Dilution to Non-GAAP Net Earnings and Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share Assuming Dilution table in this presentation. Beginning in 2023, adjusted EBITDA exclude stock-based compensation expense. For comparability purposes, the prior period adjusted EBITDA results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 shown in the table below has been restated to also exclude stock-based compensation expense. The EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA figures presented in this presentation are calculated as the Company’s earnings 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 revenue. The amounts for these pre-tax non-GAAP adjustments can be found in the Quarterly EBITDA table in this presentation. 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 arise from larger, one-time transactions that are not reflective of the ordinary earnings activity of our operations. 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 adjusted free cash flow figures presented in this presentation are calculated as the Company’s cash flows provided by operating activities, adjusted for acquisition-related transaction costs and proceeds from real estate transactions, less capital expenditures. Management believes that adjusted free cash flow is an important measure of liquidity, provides relevant and useful information, and is widely used by analysts, investors and competitors in our industry as well as by our management team in assessing liquidity. Net debt represents total debt less cash and cash equivalents. Management believes that net debt is an important measure of liquidity, provides relevant and useful information, and is widely used by analysts, investors and competitors in our industry as well as by our management team 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 provided by 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 adjusted 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. 15
