ITEM 2.02. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

On July 24, 2012, Aaron’s, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release to announce its financial results for the second quarter and first half of 2012. A copy of the press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.

The press release presents the Company’s net earnings and diluted earnings per share excluding a $36.5 million charge recorded in the second quarter of 2011 related to a previously announced lawsuit verdict against the Company, and associated legal fees and expenses, and the subsequent reversal into income of $35.5 million of such charge in the first quarter of 2012 related to the settlement of that lawsuit. These measures are not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”).

While the lawsuit may not be considered as non-recurring in nature in a strictly accounting sense, management regards the circumstances of this particular lawsuit as infrequent and not arising out of the ordinary course of business. The lawsuit adjustments involve matters that are not entirely susceptible to prediction or effective management, and consequently management believes that presentation of net earnings and diluted earnings per share excluding the recording and subsequent reversal of this accrual is useful because it gives investors supplemental information to evaluate and compare the performance of the Company’s underlying core business from period to period. 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, which are also presented in the press release.
