ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors of Aaron’s, Inc. and Subsidiaries
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Aaron’s, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and
2012, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial
position of Aaron’s, Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the consolidated results of their operations and
their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States),
Aaron’s, Inc. and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established
in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(1992 framework) and our report dated February 24, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
