SEGMENTS

As of December 31, 2016, the Company had five reportable segments: Sales and Lease Ownership, Franchise, Woodhaven, Progressive Leasing and DAMI. As of March 31, 2017, the Company has three operating and reportable segments: Aaron's Business, Progressive Leasing and DAMI. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company changed its composition of reportable segments by combining Sales and Lease Ownership, Franchise and Woodhaven into one reportable segment, the Aaron's Business, to align the reportable segments with the current organizational structure and the operating results that the chief operating decision maker regularly reviews to analyze performance and allocate resources. The Company has retroactively adjusted, for all periods presented, its segment disclosures to align with the current composition of reportable segments.

The Aaron's Business offers furniture, consumer electronics, home appliances and accessories to consumers primarily on a month-to-month, lease-to-own basis with no credit needed through the Company's Aaron's stores in the United States and Canada. This operating segment also awards franchises and supports franchisees of its Aaron's stores. In addition, the Aaron's Business segment also includes the operations of Woodhaven Furniture Industries, which manufactures and supplies the majority of the upholstered furniture and bedding leased and sold in Company-operated and franchised stores. The HomeSmart operations, prior to its disposition in May 2016, is reflected within the Aaron's Business segment and offered furniture, electronics, appliances and computers to customers primarily on a weekly payment basis with no credit needed.

Progressive Leasing is a leading virtual lease-to-own company that provides lease-purchase solutions on a variety of products, including furniture and bedding, consumer electronics, appliances and jewelry. DAMI offers a variety of second-look financing programs originated through two third-party federally insured banks to customers of participating merchants and, together with Progressive Leasing, allows the Company to provide retail partners with below prime customers one source for financing and leasing transactions.

The Company determines earnings (loss) before income taxes for all reportable segments in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Interest expense is allocated to the Progressive Leasing and DAMI segments based on a percentage of the outstanding balances of its intercompany borrowings and of the debt incurred when it was acquired.
