(Nasdaq: RGP) (the “Company”), a professional services firm, today announced its financial results for its second quarter of fiscal 2026 ended November 29, 2025. Second Quarter Fiscal 2026 Highlights Compared to Prior Year Quarter: • Revenue of $117.7 million compared to $145.6 million • Same-day constant currency revenue, a non-GAAP measure, declined by 18.4% • Gross margin of 37.1% compared to 38.5% • Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) of $54.4 million compared to $51.3 million • Adjusted SG&A, a non-GAAP measure, of $39.7 million compared to $46.5 million, an improvement of 15%. • Net loss of $12.7 million (net loss margin of 10.8%) compared to net loss of $68.7 million (net loss margin of 47.2%) • GAAP diluted loss per common share of $0.38 compared to $2.08 • Adjusted diluted earnings per common share, a non-GAAP measure, of $0.06 compared to $0.18 • Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, of $4.0 million (Adjusted EBITDA margin of 3.4%) compared to $9.7 million (Adjusted EBITDA margin of 6.6%) • Cash dividends declared of $0.07 per share Management Commentary “I want to thank our leadership and employees for welcoming me as RGP’s newly appointed CEO and for supporting a smooth transition,” said Roger Carlile, Chief Executive Officer. “I also want to recognize our teams for maintaining a strong focus on our clients and the business during this period. While our balance sheet remains strong, our quarterly earnings results reflect a continued lack of positive momentum of our consolidated revenue and Adjusted EBITDA. These results underscore the need to take decisive actions to better align our cost structure with our current revenue levels, refocus our On-Demand offerings to address the evolving needs of our clients, and scale our Consulting business to deliver high-value solutions to both existing and new clients. This work will require time and disciplined execution, but the path forward is clear, and we are confident these actions will strengthen our business and create long-term value for our clients and shareholders.” Second Quarter Fiscal 2026 Results Revenue in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was $117.7 million compared to $145.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. On a same-day constant currency basis, revenue decreased by $26.8 million, or 18.4%. Billable hours decreased 18.4% year-over-year, as the Company continues to hone our go-to-market execution for a multi-segment business. The average bill rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 decreased 1.2% year over year, or 1.6% on a constant currency basis. While the decrease was driven by a shift in the geographic revenue mix towards regions with lower bill rates, the average bill rate in the U.S. improved by 2.5% compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2025. Gross margin in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was 37.1% compared to 38.5% in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. While the Company continues to make progress in improving bill rates, driving a 97 basis point improvement in the pay/bill ratio, gross margin was impacted by higher healthcare costs under the Company's self-insured medical program, increased holiday pay due to one additional holiday in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to the prior year quarter, and lower utilization of salaried consultants. GAAP SG&A for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was $54.4 million, or 46.2% of revenue, compared to $51.3 million, or 35.2% of revenue, for the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The $3.1 million increase in SG&A year-over-year was primarily driven by $5.9 million in cash severance and $3.1 million in stock-based compensation costs associated with the separation of the Company's former CEO, and a $2.6 million increase in restructuring charges primarily in connection with a reduction in force executed in October 2025. These increases were partially offset by a $2.9 million decrease in employee compensation and benefits costs following the reduction in force in fiscal 2025 and most recently in October 2025, a $0.9 million decrease in costs associated with the internal use of consultants, $0.8 million decrease in variable employee compensation as a result of financial performance, a $2.0 million decrease in technology transformation costs primarily associated with the completion of the Company's North America technology implementation during fiscal 2025, a $0.8 million decrease related to bad debt expense, and a $0.4 million decrease in occupancy expenses. The remaining SG&A reduction was related to various general and overhead costs. 1

Income tax expense for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was $0.7 million, or an effective tax rate of 6.0%, compared to an income tax benefit of $7.7 million, or an effective tax rate of 10.1%, for the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The income tax expense in the quarter ended November 29, 2025 was primarily attributable to income tax expense from profitable foreign jurisdictions, while losses in certain domestic and foreign jurisdictions did not result in a tax benefit due to the existence of valuation allowances. The income tax benefit in the quarter ended November 23, 2024 was primarily attributed to the Company’s consolidated pretax loss, reduced by the permanent disallowance of a portion of the goodwill impairment for tax purposes. Net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was $12.7 million (net loss margin of 10.8%), compared to net loss of $68.7 million (net loss margin of 47.2%) in the prior year quarter. Both fiscal quarters contained a number of non-run-rate items, including CEO transition related expenses and restructuring expenses in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 and a goodwill impairment charge in the second quarter of 2025. Excluding all non-run-rate items, the Company delivered Adjusted EBITDA of $4.0 million (margin of 3.4%) in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $9.7 million (margin of 6.6%) in the prior year quarter. Second Quarter Fiscal 2026 Segment Revenue Results On-Demand Talent –Revenue in the On-Demand Talent segment was $43.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $53.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. On a same day constant currency basis, revenue decreased 18.4% in the second quarter of fiscal 2026. Billable hours decreased by 21.5%, partially offset by a 2.6% (or 2.4% on a constant currency basis) increase in average bill rate. The decline in billable hours reflected reduced demand in traditional finance roles as clients increasingly adopt artificial intelligence and automation. The Company is focused on evolving its on-demand talent base and skillset to align to changing market demand. The improvement of average bill rate was the result of the Company's continued focus on pricing to value. Consulting – Revenue in the Consulting segment was $42.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $60.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. On a same day constant currency basis, revenue decreased 28.8% in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 due to a 33.8% decrease in billable hours, partially offset by a 6.6% (or 6.4% on a constant currency basis) increase in the average bill rate largely as a result of the Company’s value-based pricing initiative. Europe & Asia Pacific – Revenue in the Europe & Asia Pacific segment grew to $20.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $19.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. On a same day constant currency basis, revenue increased 0.6% in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 due to an increase in average bill rate driven by the Company’s value-based pricing initiative and a shift in geographic revenue mix towards Europe, where average bill rates are higher. Billable hours in Europe increased 12.6% in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2025, primarily due to project extensions with key accounts in Europe. Billable hours in the Asia Pacific region decreased 2.9% in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2025 primarily due to results in China. Outsourced Services – Revenue in the Outsourced Services segment decreased by $0.1 million or 0.8% compared to the prior year quarter, to $9.4 million on a reported basis. On a same-day constant currency basis, revenue increased 0.8% in the second quarter of fiscal 2026. Billable hours increased 1.3% and the average bill rate declined 5.0% on a reported basis, primarily due to a higher mix of offshore delivery. All Other – Revenue in the All Other segment increased by $0.3 million or 10.4%, to $2.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $2.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. On a same-day constant currency basis, revenue increased 12.2%. The increase was primarily due to an increase in average bill rate of 2.9% partially offset by a 6.6% decrease in billable hours. 2

Non-GAAP Financial Measures The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to assess our financial and operating performance that are not defined by or calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) to assess our financial and operating performance. A non-GAAP financial measure is defined as a numerical measure of a company’s financial performance that (i) excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the Consolidated Statements of Operations; or (ii) includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the comparable GAAP measure so calculated and presented. The following non-GAAP measures are presented in this press release: • Same-day constant currency revenue is adjusted for the following items: o Currency impact. In order to remove the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company calculates same-day constant currency revenue, which represents the outcome that would have resulted had exchange rates in the current period been the same as those in effect in the comparable prior period. o Business days impact. In order to remove the fluctuations caused by comparable periods having a different number of business days, the Company calculates same-day revenue as current period revenue (adjusted for currency impact) divided by the number of business days in the current period, multiplied by the number of business days in the comparable prior period. The number of business days in each respective period is provided in the “Number of Business Days” section of the “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” table below. • EBITDA is calculated as net income (loss) before amortization expense, depreciation expense, interest and income taxes. • Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA excluding stock-based compensation expense, amortized Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) system costs, technology transformation costs, goodwill impairment, acquisition costs, gain on sale of assets, restructuring costs, CEO transition costs, and other items management believes are not representative of the Company's core operations. We also present herein Adjusted EBITDA at the segment level as a measure used to assess the performance of our segments. Segment Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain shared corporate administrative costs that are not practical to allocate. • Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by revenue. • Adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per common share is calculated as diluted earnings (loss) per common share, excluding the per share impact of stock-based compensation expense, technology transformation costs, acquisition costs, goodwill impairment, gain on sale of assets, restructuring costs, CEO transition costs, and adjusted for the related tax effects of these adjustments. • Adjusted SG&A is calculated as SG&A excluding stock-based compensation, amortized ERP system costs, technology transformation costs, acquisition costs, gain on sale of assets, restructuring costs, CEO transition costs, and other items management believes are not representative of the Company's core operations. We believe the above-mentioned non-GAAP financial measures, which are used by management to assess the core performance of our Company, provide useful information and additional clarity of our operating results to our investors in their own evaluation of the core performance of our Company and facilitate a comparison of such performance from period to period. These are not measurements of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or construed as substitutes for revenue, net income or other cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP for purposes of analyzing our revenue, profitability or liquidity. These measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, revenue, net income (loss), earnings (loss) per share, cash flows or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies, as other companies may calculate such financial results differently. 6

Unallocated items are generally comprised of unallocated corporate administrative costs, including management and board compensation, corporate support function costs and other general corporate costs that are not allocated to segments. Amortized ERP system costs represent the amortization of capitalized technology transformation costs related to a newly implemented ERP system, which was recorded within selling, general, and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Technology transformation costs represent costs included in net loss related to the Company’s initiative to upgrade its technology platform globally, including a cloud-based ERP system and talent acquisition and management systems. Such costs primarily include hosting and certain other software licensing costs, third-party consulting fees and costs associated with dedicated internal resources that are not capitalized. Acquisition costs primarily represent costs included in net loss related to the Company’s business acquisition. These costs include transaction bonuses, cash retention bonus accruals, and fees paid to the Company's broker, legal counsel, and other professional services firms. The effect of the goodwill impairment charge recognized during the three and six months ended November 23, 2024 was related to the On-Demand Talent and Europe & Asia Pacific segments. Gain on sale of assets was related to the Company’s sale of its Irvine office building, which was completed on August 15, 2024. Restructuring costs during the three and six months ended November 29, 2025 represent employee termination costs and non-recurring third-party consulting costs incurred in connection with the Company’s transformation initiative to redesign and streamline its operating model (the “2026 Transformation Initiative”). Restructuring costs during the three and six months ended November 29, 2024 represent costs incurred in connection with the cost reduction plan, including a reduction in force intended to reduce costs and streamline operations (the “U.S. Restructuring Plan”), which was authorized in October 2023 and was substantially completed during fiscal 2024. CEO transition costs represent non-recurring costs incurred in connection with the separation of the Company's former CEO. These costs include $5.9 million of cash severance and $3.1 million of non-cash stock compensation expense reflecting the accelerated expense recognition of equity awards during three and six months ended November 29, 2025. The tax effect of each adjustment is determined based on the tax laws and valuation allowance status of the jurisdiction to which the adjustment relates. An adjusted effective income tax rate has been determined for each period presented by applying the statutory income tax rate, net of adjustments for valuation allowances, where applicable, which was used to compute Adjusted Net Income for the periods presented. For the three and six months ended November 29, 2025, due to the existence of a U.S. tax valuation allowance, the tax impact of the pre-tax adjustments is immaterial. For the three and six months ended November 23, 2024, the tax impact of the pre-tax adjustments was primarily due to goodwill impairment charges, with no valuation allowance to offset the tax effects of the adjustment. Adjusted diluted earnings per share is based on weighted average diluted shares outstanding of 33,591,955 and 33,045,802 for the three months ended November 29, 2025 and November 23, 2024, respectively and 33,378,525 and 33,226,179 for the six months ended November 29, 2025 and November 23, 2024, respectively.
