PAR TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION ANNOUNCES
 
FIRST QUARTER RESULTS & STRATEGIC REALIGNMENT OF HOSPITALITY BUSINESS
●     Revenues grew 5.5% to $59.6 million in the quarter

New Hartford, NY- April 30, 2015 -- PAR Technology Corporation (NYSE: PAR) today reported first quarter revenues of $59.6 million, a 5.5% increase from the $56.5 million reported for the first quarter ended March 31, 2014.  The reported net loss in the quarter was $385,000 or $0.02 net loss per share compared to net loss of $989,000 or $0.06 net loss per share for the first quarter last year.  On a non-GAAP basis, the Company’s net income for the first quarter was $57,000 or $0.00 per diluted share, improving from the net loss of $644,000 and $0.04 net loss per share reported in the first quarter of 2014.  A reconciliation and description of non-GAAP financial measures to their comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the tables following this news release.
 
The Company also announced it continues to review strategic and operational improvements involving its hospitality segment. The Company, in an assessment of its operations and global delivery of its restaurant technology solutions, has initiated a restructuring to be more aligned with U.S. based operations.  This reorganization is expected to increase efficiencies and reduce operating costs.  In connection with these changes, PAR will recognize a pre-tax charge in this year’s second fiscal quarter of approximately $500,000.  These initiatives are expected to provide ongoing annual savings of at least $2 million.  The Company will continue to make necessary changes in its Hospitality segment to improve long-term shareholder value through improved profitability and cash flow.
 
“This year is off to a solid start with increased momentum in our business, led by growth in both our segments,” said Ronald J. Casciano, Chief Executive Officer & President of PAR Technology. “Our diversification strategy continues to gain traction, evidenced by the recently announced selection of our complete POS “Cloud” solution by Sonny’s BBQ® and the continued strength we see in our distribution channel revenues.  We are encouraged with our performance in the quarter and we remain focused on the efficiency and management of our operations.”
 
Casciano continued, “The strategic realignment we announced this morning demonstrates the steps we continue to take as a Company to lower our operating costs and improve our financial performance.    These actions will position us to create greater operating leverage.  The realignment better-positions our Company to sharpen our strategic focus, optimize investments and execute on long-term growth and profitability objectives.”

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with GAAP, which refers financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.  However, non-GAAP adjusted financial measures, as defined in the reconciliation table above, are provided herein because management uses such measures in evaluating the results of the continuing operations of the Company and believes this information provides investors better insight into underlying business trends and performance.  Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

During the first quarter of 2015, the Company recorded severance and other related charges of $181,000, of which $66,000 is included in cost of sales and $115,000 is included in selling, general and administrative.  Also included within selling, general and administrative is equity based compensation charges of $245,000.  Lastly, related to the acquisition of Brink, the Company recognized amortization of acquired intangible assets of $249,000 and accreted interest of $26,000.  During the first quarter of 2014, the Company recorded a charge of $523,000 for equity based compensation expense.  The aforementioned charges, along with an associated adjustment to the Company’s provision for income taxes have been excluded in the Company’s non-GAAP measures because they are considered non-recurring in nature and are quantitatively and qualitatively different from the Company’s core operations during any particular period.
