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.

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.
“Active Sites” represent locations active on PAR’s subscription services as of the last day of the respective reporting period.

“PAR®,” “PAR POS®”, “Punchh®,” “PAR Ordering™”, "PAR OPS™," “Data Central®," “Delage™,” "PAR Retail™", "PAR® Pay”, “PAR® Payment Services”, and other trademarks identifying our products and services appearing in this press release belong to us.

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. |
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, LLC. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
Loss on extinguishment of debt |
Adjustment reflects loss on extinguishment of debt related to the early repayment of the former credit facility with Blue Owl Capital Corporation. |
|
Discontinued operations |
Adjustment reflects income from discontinued operations related to the disposition of our Government segment. |
|
Other expense (income), net |
Adjustment reflects foreign currency transaction gains and losses and other non-recurring income and expenses recorded in other expense (income), 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 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.
