Management Comments

Derek E. Dewan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of GEE Group, commented, "The Company delivered a resilient quarter and continues to adjust its business plan including targeting new revenue generating opportunities, aggressively implementing "AI" tools to maximize efficiency and accelerating the reduction of recurring expenses in a challenging and uncertain macroeconomic environment. The use of contingent labor and volume of full-time hires has lessened in fiscal 2024 and the first half of fiscal 2025, but appears to have stabilized somewhat as businesses are beginning to initiate new projects which presumably will lead to more job orders and full-time and contingent labor placements. We also believe that AI is fast becoming a disruptor in the staffing industry. Therefore, GEE Group has implemented and incorporated "AI" in its strategic plan internally to enhance its recruiting and sales efforts, and to provide its clients with the necessary human resources to implement and support their use of AI to create increased efficiency and profitability."

Mr. Dewan added, "Our demand environment for the remainder of 2025 is expected to be somewhat volatile but we anticipate that it will gradually improve and the Company plans to increase its market share irrespective of overall growth in the staffing industry with an aggressive AI assisted sales process, increased use of offshore recruiting to maximize fill rates more efficiently and provide clients with more value added services including human resources ("HR") consulting, information technology ("IT") statement of work ("SOW") project capability, resource process outsourcing ("RPO") and other higher-end service offerings. We are tightly managing costs and continually evaluating GEE's expenses and expect to further streamline our business and significantly reduce costs. The Company has a strong balance sheet with a current ratio of 4.2 and substantial liquidity resources, both in cash and borrowing capacity. GEE Group's dedicated, tenured employees and select new hires continue to provide outstanding customer service and remain committed to growing our business."

Additional Information to Consider in Conjunction with the Press Release

The aforementioned Fiscal 2025 Third Quarter and YTD Highlights and Results should be read in conjunction with all of the financial and other information included in GEE Group's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, as well as any applicable recent Current Reports on Forms 8-K and 8-K/A, Registration Statements and Amendments on Forms S-1 and S-3, and Information Statements on Schedules 14A and 14C, filed with the SEC. The discussion of financial results in this press release, and the information presented herein, include the use of non-GAAP financial measures. Schedules are attached hereto which reconcile the related financial items prescribed by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP" or "U.S. GAAP") to the non-GAAP financial information. These non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for the comparable measures prescribed by GAAP as further discussed below in this press release. See "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and the reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures used in this press release with the Company's corresponding financial measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP below.

Financial information provided in this press release also may consist of or refer to estimates, projected or pro forma financial information and certain assumptions that are considered forward looking statements, are predictive in nature and depend on future events, and any such predicted or projected financial or other results may not be realized nor are they guarantees of future performance. See "Forward-Looking Statements Safe Harbor" below which incorporates "Risk Factors" which may possibly have a negative effect on the Company's business.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company discloses certain non-GAAP financial measures in this press release, including adjusted net loss, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow. Management and the Board of Directors use and refer to these non-GAAP financial measures internally as a supplement to financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures are used for purposes of evaluating operating performance, financial planning purposes, establishing operational and budgetary goals, compensation plans, analysis of debt service capacity, capital expenditure planning and determining working capital needs. The Company also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are considered useful by investors.

Non-GAAP adjusted net loss is defined as net loss adjusted for non-cash stock compensation expenses, acquisition, integration, restructuring and other non-recurring expenses, capital market-related expenses, and gains or losses on extinguishment of debt or sale of assets. Non-GAAP EBITDA is defined as net loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA, adjusted for the same items used to derive non-GAAP adjusted net loss. Non-GAAP free cash flow is defined as cash flows from operating activities, less capital expenditures.

Non-GAAP adjusted net loss, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow are not terms proscribed or defined by GAAP and, as a result, the Company's measure of them may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance, financial position, or cash flow that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures discussed above should be considered in addition to, and not as substitutes for, nor as being superior to net loss reported in the consolidated statements of income, cash and cash flows reported in the consolidated statements of cash flows, or other measures of financial performance reflected in the Company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP included in Form 10-K and Form 10-Q for their respective periods filed with the SEC, which should be read and referred to in order to obtain a comprehensive and thorough understanding of the Company's financial results. The reconciliations of net loss to non-GAAP adjusted net loss, net loss to non-GAAP EBITDA and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, and cash flows from operating activities to non-GAAP free cash flows referred to in the highlights or elsewhere in this press release are provided in the following schedules that also form a part of this press release.
