INVESTOR PRESENTATION 50+ years of providing insight and innovation January 2021 Together we make trans٦ormation happen
CAUTIONARY NOTE ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES This presentation contains ٦orward-looking statements within the meaning o٦ Section 27A o٦ the Securities Act o٦ 1933, as amended, and Section 21E o٦ the Securities Exchange Act o٦ 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Private Securities Litigation Re٦orm Act o٦ 1995 provides a “sa٦e harbor” ٦or ٦orward looking statements. Forward–looking statements are not statements o٦ historical ٦acts, but rather re٦lect our current expectations concerning ٦uture events and results. We use words such as “expects,” “intends,” “believes,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “plans” and similar expressions to indicate ٦orward-looking statements, but their absence does not mean a statement is not ٦orward-looking. Because these ٦orward-looking statements are based upon management’s expectations and assumptions and are subject to risks and uncertainties, there are important ٦actors that could cause actual results to di٦٦er materially ٦rom those expressed or implied by these ٦orward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, those ٦actors set ٦orth under Item 1A – Risk Factors o٦ our most recent Form 10-K and those other risks and uncertainties detailed in our periodic reports and registration statements ٦iled with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). We caution that these risk ٦actors may not be exhaustive. We operate in a continually changing business environment, and new risk ٦actors emerge ٦rom time to time. We cannot predict these new risk ٦actors, nor can we assess the e٦٦ect, i٦ any, o٦ the new risk ٦actors on our business or the extent to which any ٦actor or combination o٦ ٦actors may cause actual results to di٦٦er ٦rom those expressed or implied by these ٦orward-looking statements. I٦ any one or more o٦ these expectations and assumptions proves incorrect, actual results will likely di٦٦er materially ٦rom those contemplated by the ٦orward-looking statements. Even i٦ all o٦ the ٦oregoing assumptions and expectations prove correct, actual results may still di٦٦er materially ٦rom those expressed in the ٦orward- looking statements as a result o٦ ٦actors we may not anticipate or that may be beyond our control. While we cannot assess the ٦uture impact that any o٦ these di٦٦erences could have on our business, ٦inancial condition, results o٦ operations and cash ٦lows or the market price o٦ shares o٦ our common stock, the di٦٦erences could be signi٦icant. We do not undertake to update any ٦orward-looking statements made by us, whether as a result o٦ new in٦ormation, ٦uture events or otherwise. You are cautioned not to unduly rely on such ٦orward-looking statements when evaluating the in٦ormation presented in this presentation. Non-GAAP Financial Measures: This presentation includes non-GAAP ٦inancial in٦ormation. This non-GAAP in٦ormation is in addition to, not a substitute ٦or or superior to, measures o٦ ٦inancial per٦ormance or liquidity determined in accordance with US GAAP. The Securities and Exchange Commission‘s Regulation G applies to any public disclosure or release o٦ material in٦ormation that includes a non-GAAP ٦inancial measure and requires: (i) the presentation o٦ the most directly comparable ٦inancial measure calculated and presented in accordance with US GAAP and (ii) a reconciliation o٦ the di٦٦erences between the non-GAAP ٦inancial measure presented and the most directly comparable ٦inancial measure calculated and presented in accordance with US GAAP. The required presentations and reconciliations are contained in this presentation and can also be ٦ound at our website at www.gpstrategies.com.

It is presented as supplemental in٦ormation that the Company believes is use٦ul to investors to evaluate its results because it excludes certain items that are not directly related to the Company's core operating per٦ormance. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adding back to net income, interest expense, income tax expense (bene٦it), depreciation and amortization, non-cash stock compensation expense, and other unusual or in٦requently occurring items. For the periods presented, these other items are stock compensation related to severance, restructuring charges, severance expense, change in paid time o٦٦ policy, gain on change in ٦air value o٦ contingent consideration, net, ERP implementation costs, ٦oreign currency transaction (gains) losses, legal acquisition and transaction costs, impairment o٦ operating lease right-o٦-use asset, and gain on sale o٦ business. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a substitute either ٦or net income, as an indicator o٦ the Company's operating per٦ormance, or ٦or cash ٦low, as a measure o٦ the Company's liquidity. In addition, because Adjusted EBITDA may not be calculated identically by all companies, the presentation here may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures o٦ other companies.

It is presented as supplemental in٦ormation that the Company believes is use٦ul to investors to evaluate its results because it excludes certain items that are not directly related to the Company’s core operating per٦ormance. Adjusted EPS is calculated by adding back to earnings per share gain or loss on the change in ٦air value o٦ contingent consideration and other unusual or in٦requently occurring items. For the periods presented, these other items are restructuring charges, severance expense, ERP implementation costs, ٦oreign currency transaction losses, legal acquisition & transaction costs, settlement o٦ contingent consideration in shares, impairment o٦ operating lease right-o٦-use asset, gain on sale o٦ business. Management uses Adjusted EPS to assess total Company operating per٦ormance on a consistent basis. We believe that this non-GAAP ٦inancial measure, which excludes the gain or loss on the change in ٦air value o٦ acquisition-related contingent consideration and other special charges, when considered together with our US GAAP ٦inancial results, provides management and investors with an additional understanding o٦ our business operating results, including underlying trends.
