The line graph above and the table below compare, for the last five fiscal years of the Company, the
yearly percentage change in the cumulative total shareholder returns (assuming reinvestment of
dividends) on the Company’s common stock with that of the S&P Midcap 400 Index, the S&P 400
Retailing Index and a prior peer group. We believe comparing the Company’s stock price performance
to the S&P 400 Retailing Index is more meaningful than comparing it to self-constructed peer groups
(as the Company previously has done), as the S&P 400 Retailing Index represents a larger group of
retailers with similar market capitalizations to the Company and consequently should provide a better
comparison to the broader retail industry. The prior peer group index for the year ended December 31,
2012 consisted of Cabela’s, Inc., Cash America International, Inc., Dick’s Sporting Goods, Inc., Fred’s,
Inc., hhgregg, Inc. O’Reilly Automotive, Inc., Rent-A-Center, Inc., Tractor Supply Co. and Ulta Salon,
Cosmetics and Fragrance, Inc.
*$100 invested on 12/31/08 in stock or index, including reinvestment of dividends.
Fiscal year ending December 31.
