Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Financial
Measures.
We monitor certain key performance indicators and non-GAAP
financial measures in the evaluation and management of our
business; certain key performance indicators and non-GAAP financial
measures are provided in this press release because we believe they
are useful in facilitating period-to-period comparisons of our
business performance. Key performance indicators and non-GAAP
financial measures do not reflect and should be viewed
independently of our financial performance determined in accordance
with GAAP. Key performance indicators and non-GAAP financial
measures are not forecasts or indicators of future or expected
results and should not have undue reliance placed upon them by
investors.
Where non-GAAP financial measures are included in this press
release, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and a
detailed reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial
measures is included in this press release under “Non-GAAP
Financial Measures”.
Unless otherwise indicated, financial and operating data
included in this press release is as of December 31, 2024.
As used in this press release,
“Annual Recurring Revenue” or “ARR” is the annualized
revenue from subscription services, including subscription fees for
our SaaS solutions and related software support, managed platform
development services, and transaction-based payment processing
services. We generally calculate ARR by annualizing the monthly
subscription service revenue for all Active Sites as of the last
day of each month for the respective reporting period. Our reported
ARR is based on a constant currency, using the exchange rates
established at the beginning of the year and consistently applied
throughout the period and to comparative periods presented. For
acquisitions made during each period, the constant currency rate
applied is the exchange rate at the date of each acquisition's
closure. There was no impact on our prior period ARR as a result of
applying a constant currency as the exchange rate effects only
began with the TASK Group Acquisition in 2024.
“Active Sites” represent locations active on PAR’s
subscription services as of the last day of the respective
reporting period.

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 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 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 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 non-cash 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 (the "MENU
Acquisition").
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 and
integration, including costs incurred in the acquisitions of Stuzo
Blocker, Inc., Stuzo Holdings, LLC and their subsidiaries (the
"Stuzo Acquisition"), TASK Group Holdings Limited, and Delaget (the
"Delaget Acquisition")
We exclude professional fees incurred in
corporate development and integration 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 legacy claims.
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.
Litigation expense
Adjustment reflects the release of a loss
contingency and settlement expenses for legal matters.
Loss on extinguishment of debt
Adjustment reflects loss on extinguishment
of debt related to the conversion of the 4.500% Convertible Senior
Notes due 2024 and a portion of the 2.875% Convertible Senior Notes
due 2026.
Discontinued operations
Adjustment reflects income from
discontinued operations related to the disposition of our
Government segment.
Impairment loss
Adjustment reflects impairment loss
related to the discontinuance of the Brink POS trademark and the
impairment of internally developed software costs not meeting the
general release threshold as a result of acquiring go-to-market
software in the MENU Acquisition.
Other (income) expense, net
Adjustment reflects foreign currency
transaction gains and losses and other non-recurring income and
expenses recorded in other (income) 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 and Delaget 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 other acquired intangible assets.
The tables below provide reconciliations between net loss and
adjusted EBITDA, diluted net 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.
