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.

Unless otherwise indicated, financial and operating data included in this press release is as of December 31, 2025.

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 recurring 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. Applying a constant currency impacted our reported ARR figures for Q4 2024 as exchange rate effects began with the acquisition of TASK Group Holdings Limited in July 2024.

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

Trademarks.

“PAR®,” “PAR POSTM”, “Punchh®,” “PAR OrderingTM”, "PAR OPS®," “Data Central®," “DelagetTM,” "PAR RetailTM", "PAR® Pay”, “PAR® Payment Services”, and other trademarks identifying our products and services appearing in this press release belong to us.

PAR TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION
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 AdjustmentDefinitionUsefulness 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, severance, and impairment of capitalized software development costs.
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 discontinued operations, stock-based compensation, contingent consideration, transaction costs, gain on insurance proceeds, severance, impairment loss, litigation expense, loss on extinguishment of debt, and other expense (income), net.
Non-GAAP diluted net income (loss) per share
Represents net loss per share excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets, non-recurring income taxes, non-cash interest, discontinued operations, stock-based compensation, contingent consideration, transaction costs, gain on insurance proceeds, severance, impairment loss, litigation expense, loss on extinguishment of debt, and other expense (income), net.
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 compensationConsists 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.
7


Non-GAAP Measure or AdjustmentDefinitionUsefulness to management and investors
Contingent considerationAdjustment 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 costsAdjustment 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 proceedsAdjustment 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.
SeveranceAdjustment 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 expenseAdjustment reflects non-recurring legal fees incurred in connection with certain litigation matters and the release of a loss contingency and settlement expenses for certain legal matters.
8


Non-GAAP Measure or AdjustmentDefinitionUsefulness to management and investors
Loss on extinguishment of debtAdjustment reflects loss on extinguishment of debt related to the conversion of a portion of the 2.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026, and related to the early repayment of the Credit Facility. 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.
Discontinued operationsAdjustment reflects income from discontinued operations related to the divestiture of our Government segment.
Impairment lossAdjustment reflects impairment loss related to the discontinuance of the Brink POS trademark and the write-off of capitalized software development costs related to the PAR Clear product.
Other expense (income), netAdjustment 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 taxesAdjustment 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 income (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 interestAdjustment reflects non-cash amortization of issuance costs and discount related to the Company's long-term debt.
Acquired intangible assets amortizationAdjustment reflects amortization expense of acquired developed technology included within cost of sales and amortization expense of other acquired intangible assets.
