Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
50
The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Sonic Corp.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sonic Corp. as of August 31, 2013 and
2012, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended August 31, 2013. These financial statements and schedule
are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and schedule 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 Sonic Corp. at August 31, 2013 and 2012, and the consolidated results of its operations and
its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended August 31, 2013, in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information
set forth therein.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States), Sonic Corp.’s internal control over financial reporting as of August 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 October 25, 2013, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
