·
GAAP Earnings Per Share Reported at $0.08 vs $0.00 in Q1 2016

Adjusted Earnings Per Share Reported at $0.14 vs. $0.06 in Q1 2016
 
New Hartford, NY- May 15, 2017 -- PAR Technology Corporation (NYSE: PAR) today announced its results of continuing operations for its first quarter ended March 31, 2017.
 
Summary of Fiscal 2017 First Quarter Financial Results From Continuing Operations
 
First Quarter 2017
 
·
First quarter revenues of $65.9 million, compared to $55.3 million in the same period in 2016, a 19.1% increase.
·
GAAP net income of $1.3 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, an increase from GAAP net income of $15,000, or $0.00 earnings per diluted share for the same period in 2016.
·
Non-GAAP net income of $2.2 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $925,000 or $0.06 earnings per diluted share, for the same period in 2016.

A reconciliation and description of non-GAAP financial measures to their comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the tables at the end of this press release.

“I am very pleased with the financial results for our first quarter as our Restaurant/Retail segment revenues grew more than 52% from the prior year’s first quarter.  The strong first quarter performance was driven by significantly higher demand for our restaurant hardware products and continued deployments of our Brink POS software.  Offsetting the Restaurant/Retail growth was the decline in our Government segment revenues as they continue to be impacted by the transition from lower margin Program Management Office (PMO) contracts to more higher margin, value-add contracts in Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance (ISR),” commented Dr. Donald H. Foley, President & CEO of PAR Technology Corporation.  “We are off to a strong start to the year, as we were able to leverage the accelerated hardware technology deployment of a strategic customer in Q1.  We expect to sustain our momentum for the remainder of the year but at a more moderate pace.”

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with GAAP.  However, non-GAAP adjusted financial measures, as defined in the reconciliation table above, are provided because management uses these non-GAAP measures in evaluating the results of the continuing operations of the Company and believes this information provides investors supplemental insight into underlying business trends and operating results. These non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP measures should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The Company’s results of operations are impacted by certain non-recurring charges, including severance charges from restructuring business operations, equity based compensation, acquisition related expenditures, and other non-recurring charges that may not be indicative of the Company’s financial performance. Management believes that adjusting its operating expenses, operating income, net earnings and diluted earnings per share to remove non-recurring charges provides a useful perspective with respect to our operating results and provides supplemental information to both management and investors by removing items that are difficult to predict and are often unanticipated.  The Company believes the adjustments provide a useful comparison on a year-over-year basis.
 

During the first quarter of 2017, the Company recorded charges within selling, general and administrative of $962,000 related to the Company’s previously disclosed investigation of import/export and sales documentation activities at the Company’s China and Singapore offices. In addition, $177,000 of equity based compensation charges, $21,000 of investigation costs related to the Company’s former chief financial officer’s unauthorized transfers of Company funds, and $24,000 of expenses related to the implementation of the Company’s ERP system, were recorded during the first quarter of 2017.  Lastly, the Company recognized amortization of acquired intangible assets of $241,000 related to the Company’s acquisition of Brink.

During the first quarter of 2016, the Company recorded charges of $766,000 of investigation costs related to the Company’s former chief financial officer’s unauthorized transfers of Company funds, $345,000 related to the initial phase of the planned implementation of a new enterprise resource system in connection with the Business Transformation Project and equity based compensation charges of $66,000.  Lastly, the Company recognized amortization of acquired intangible assets of $241,000 and accreted interest of $26,000 related to the Company’s acquisition of Brink.    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.
