Elkridge, MD. August 4, 2011. GP Strategies Corporation (NYSE: GPX), a global performance improvement solutions provider of sales and technical training, e-Learning solutions, management consulting and engineering services through its principal operating subsidiary General Physics Corporation, today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2011.
Overview of Second Quarter 2011 Results:
- Revenue of $86.0 million for second quarter of 2011, up $19.9 million or 30% compared to $66.1 million for second quarter of 2010
- EBITDA of $9.6 million for second quarter of 2011, up $2.9 million or 45% compared to EBITDA of $6.6 million for second quarter of 2010
- Earnings of $0.25 per diluted share for second quarter of 2011 compared to earnings of $0.17 per diluted share for second quarter of 2010
The Company earned $0.25 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to $0.17 per share for the same period in 2010 including certain non-recurring items and acquisition related amounts. The second quarter results include a $1.0 million gain on the reversal of a deferred rent liability related to the execution of a new lease for the Company’s Troy, Michigan facility during the quarter. The results also include a net loss of $43,000 in the second quarter of 2011 compared to a net gain of $628,000 in the second quarter of 2010 on the change in fair value of contingent consideration related to acquisitions. In addition, the Company incurred $454,000 of transaction expenses during the second quarter for acquisitions completed. The acquired RWD business contributed $15.5 million of revenue and $2.5 million of gross profit, or 16% gross margin, during the second quarter of 2011. In addition, other recently completed acquisitions contributed approximately $3.1 million of revenue during the second quarter of 2011. EBITDA increased $2.9 million or 45% during the second quarter of 2011 compared to the second quarter of 2010 primarily due to an increase in gross profit which resulted from increased revenue and margins, and an increase in income related to the gain on reversal of the facility lease liability. Net income was $4.7 million for the second quarter of 2011 compared to $3.1 million for the second quarter of 2010.
“I am pleased to report that we achieved extremely strong financial results in the second quarter of 2011,” said Scott N. Greenberg, Chief Executive Officer of GP Strategies. “Our acquisition of RWD Technologies on April 15, 2011 was accretive to earnings, enabling us to achieve record performance in both revenue and EBITDA at General Physics. Our continued efforts to grow organically while concurrently making selective acquisitions will bode well for the long-term growth of the Company. We believe that as we further increase our platform of services, we can take advantage of global opportunities and establish the Company as a unique brand in a highly fragmented training industry.”
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights
As of June 30, 2011, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $5.6 million, short-term borrowings outstanding of $6.5 million and available borrowings under its revolving credit facility of $27.7 million as of June 30, 2011.

Presentation of Non-GAAP Information
This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization). The Company believes this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors in evaluating the Company’s results. This measure should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for, or superior to, either net income, as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance, or cash flow, as a measure of the Company’s liquidity. In addition, because EBITDA may not be calculated identically by all companies, the presentation here may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

(3) Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) is a widely used non-GAAP financial measure of operating performance. It is presented as supplemental information that the Company believes is useful to investors to evaluate its results because it excludes certain items that are not directly related to the Company’s core operating performance. EBITDA is calculated by adding back to net income interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization,. EBITDA should not be considered as substitutes either for net income, as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance, or for cash flow, as a measure of the Company’s liquidity. In addition, because EBITDA may not be calculated identically by all companies, the presentation here may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
(4) Net income includes the following non-recurring or acquisition-related amounts:
- A $1,041,000 gain on reversal of a deferred rent liability during the second quarter of 2011, which results in $0.03 per share for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 after being tax effected.
- A net loss of $43,000 and a net gain of $203,000 on the change in fair value of contingent consideration for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to net gains of $628,000 and $1,533,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.
- $454,000 and $1,299,000 of transaction expenses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, related to the completion of acquisitions.
