PAR Technology Corporation (NYSE: PAR) (“PAR Technology” or the
“Company”) today announced its financial results for the third
quarter ended September 30, 2024.
Savneet Singh, PAR Technology CEO commented, “We delivered
another strong quarter in Q3, driven by increased demand for our
enterprise foodservice software. Our organic ARR grew by
approximately 25% and total ARR grew by 93% in the quarter from Q3
‘23. Our performance in the quarter demonstrates the continued
execution of our strategic plan as we consistently demonstrate our
ability to deliver best-in-class products, while at the same time
proving our better together outcomes. Equally important we
delivered our first quarter of positive adjusted EBITDA since
current management took over the business. This reinforces our
belief that we will be able to demonstrate incredibly strong unit
economics, leveraging the platform we’ve built up over the past few
years.”

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION (unaudited)
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to disclosing financial results in accordance with
GAAP, this press release contains references to the non-GAAP
financial measures below. We believe these non-GAAP financial
measures provide investors with useful supplemental information
about our operating performance, enable comparison of financial
trends and results between periods where certain items may vary
independent of business performance, and allow for greater
transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in
operating our business and measuring our performance. The income
tax effect of the below adjustments, with the exception of
non-recurring income taxes, were not tax-effected due to the
valuation allowance on all of our net deferred tax assets.
Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a
substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in
accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in
accordance with GAAP and reconciliations from these results should
be carefully evaluated. Additionally, these measures may not be
comparable to similarly titled measures disclosed by other
companies.
Non-GAAP subscription service gross margin percentage is
adjusted to exclude amortization from acquired and internally
developed software, stock-based compensation, and severance costs
included within subscription service cost of sales.
Non-GAAP Measure or
Adjustment
Definition
Usefulness to management and
investors
Non-GAAP subscription service gross margin
percentage
Represents subscription service gross
margin percentage adjusted to exclude amortization from acquired
and internally developed software, stock-based compensation, and
severance.
We believe that non-GAAP subscription
service gross margin percentage and adjusted EBITDA provide useful
perspectives with respect to the Company's core operating
performance and ongoing cash earnings by adjusting for certain
non-cash and non-recurring charges that may not be indicative of
our financial performance.
Adjusted EBITDA
Represents net income (loss) before income
taxes, interest expense and depreciation and amortization adjusted
to exclude certain non-cash and non-recurring charges that may not
be indicative of our financial performance.
Non-GAAP diluted net loss per share
Represents net loss per share excluding
amortization of acquired intangible assets and certain non-cash and
non-recurring charges that may not be indicative of our financial
performance.
We believe that adjusting our non-GAAP
diluted net loss per share to remove non-cash and non-recurring
charges provides a useful perspective with respect to the Company's
operating performance as well as comparisons to past and competitor
operating results.
Stock-based compensation
Consists of charges related to our
employee equity incentive plans.
We exclude stock-based compensation
because management does not view these non-cash charges as part of
our core operating performance. This adjustment facilitates a
useful evaluation of our current operating performance as well as
comparisons to past and competitor operating results.
Contingent consideration
Adjustment reflects a non-cash reduction
to the fair market value of the contingent consideration liability
related to our acquisition of MENU Technologies AG.
We exclude changes to the fair market
value of our contingent consideration liability because management
does not view these non-cash, non-recurring charges as part of our
core operating performance. This adjustment facilitates a useful
evaluation of our current operating performance as well as
comparisons to past and competitor operating results.
Transaction costs
Adjustment reflects non-recurring
professional fees incurred in transaction due diligence, including
costs incurred in the acquisitions of Stuzo Blocker, Inc., Stuzo
Holdings, LLC and their subsidiaries (the "Stuzo Acquisition") and
TASK Group.
We exclude professional fees incurred in
corporate development because management does not view these
non-recurring charges, which are inconsistent in size and are
significantly impacted by the timing and valuation of our
transactions, as part of our core operating performance. This
adjustment facilitates a useful evaluation of our current operating
performance, comparisons to past and competitor operating results,
and additional means to evaluate expense trends.
Gain on insurance proceeds
Adjustment reflects the gain on insurance
proceeds due to the settlement of a legacy claim.
We exclude these non-recurring adjustments
because management does not view these costs as part of our core
operating performance. These adjustments facilitate a useful
evaluation of our current operating performance as well as
comparisons to past and competitor operating results.
Severance
Adjustment reflects severance tied to
non-recurring restructuring events included in cost of sales, sales
and marketing expense, general and administrative expense, and
research and development expense.
Discontinued operations
Adjustment reflects income from
discontinued operations related to the disposition of our
Government segment.
Impairment loss
Adjustment reflects impairment loss
included in general and administrative expense related to the
discontinuance of the Brink POS trade name.
Other expense, net
Adjustment reflects foreign currency
transaction gains and losses, rental income and losses, and other
non-recurring expenses recorded in other expense, net in the
accompanying statements of operations.
Non-recurring income taxes
Adjustment reflects a partial release of
our deferred tax asset valuation allowance resulting from the Stuzo
Acquisition.
We exclude these non-cash and
non-recurring adjustments for purposes of calculating non-GAAP
diluted net loss per share because management does not view these
costs as part of our core operating performance. These adjustments
facilitate a useful evaluation of our current operating
performance, comparisons to past and competitor operating results,
and additional means to evaluate expense trends.
Non-cash interest
Adjustment reflects non-cash amortization
of issuance costs and discount related to the Company's long-term
debt.
Acquired intangible assets
amortization
Adjustment reflects amortization expense
of acquired developed technology included within cost of sales and
amortization expense of acquired intangible assets.
The tables below provide reconciliations between net income
(loss) and adjusted EBITDA, diluted net income (loss) per share and
non-GAAP diluted net loss per share, and subscription service gross
margin percentage and non-GAAP subscription service gross margin
percentage.
