Rent-A-Center, Inc. (NASDAQ:RCII) Files An 8-K Results of Operations and Financial Condition
Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

Attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 is the Registrant's press release reflecting earnings information for the quarter ended March31, 2018.

The press release contains information regarding EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) and free cash flow, which are non-GAAP financial measures as defined in Item10(e) of Regulation S-K. A reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is included in Table 3 and 4 of the press release, respectively. The Company's management believes that presentation of EBITDA is useful to investors, as among other things, this information impacts certain financial covenants under the Company's senior credit facilities and the indentures governing its 6.625% senior unsecured notes due November 2020 and its 4.75% senior unsecured notes due May 2021. The Company’s management believes that presentation of free cash flow provides investors with meaningful additional information regarding the Company's liquidity. While management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating the Company, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for or superior to the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from similar measures presented by other companies.

to General Instruction B.2. of Form 8-K, all of the information contained in Item 2.02 of this Form 8-K and the accompanying Exhibit 99.1 shall be deemed to be "furnished" and not "filed" for purposes of Section18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and, therefore, shall not be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
