PAR Technology CEO, Savneet Singh commented, “PAR delivered a strong operating performance to begin 2022, delivering revenue growth of 47.4% and strong ARR growth in the quarter. ARR at end of Q1 2022 was $94.4 million, a 172% increase from the $34.6 million ARR reported in the first quarter last year. Punchh delivered year-over-year ARR growth of 39% in the quarter and Brink POS reported ARR growth of 35% from Q1 2021. Our product revenue in the quarter grew by 35% from Q1 last year, once again demonstrating strong demand from our enterprise restaurant customers for our unified commerce offerings. Our focus on efficiency has allowed the Company to improve our adjusted EBITDA by 42% from one year ago.”

Mr. Singh continued, “We are at an exciting time in our industry, as restaurants large and small transform and modernize to become software-driven, digital enterprises. Our Q1 results reflect the power of our platform and integrating Punchh with Brink and Data Central and we closed several large brands who chose multiple PAR solutions in the quarter. These recent customer wins demonstrate the accelerating demand for Unified Commerce where restaurants require simpler solutions, fewer integrations and more natively unified solutions."

Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Financial Measures.

We monitor certain operating data and non-GAAP financial measures in the evaluation and management of our business; certain key operating data and non-GAAP financial measures have been provided as we believe these to be useful in facilitating period-to-period comparisons of our business performance. Operating data and non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect and should be viewed independently of our financial performance determined in accordance with GAAP. Operating data 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 “About Non-GAAP Financial Measures”.

Unless otherwise indicated, financial and operating data included in this presentation is as of March 31, 2022.

As used in this press release:

Annualized Recurring Revenue or "ARR” is the annualized revenue from SaaS and related revenue of our software products. We 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. ARR also includes recurring payment processing services revenue, net of expenses.

“Active Sites” represent locations active on PAR’s SaaS software as of the last day of the respective fiscal period.

“Activations” are calculated as of the end of each month based on the number of SaaS customers that have initiated use of our software products/platforms. Once “activated”, PAR begins to invoice/bill the customer. In specific cases with Punchh, invoicing takes place before activation take place.

“Booking” is a customer purchase order for SaaS; upon PAR's acceptance, the customer is obligated to purchase the SaaS and pay PAR for the services. In specific cases with Punchh, bookings are added at the time of execution of the relevant master services agreement.

“Contracted ARR”, or “CARR” is ARR that includes signed/booked sites that have yet to be activated.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with GAAP. However, non-GAAP adjusted financial measures, as set forth in the reconciliation tables below, are provided because management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating the results of the Company's continuing operations and believes this information provides investors supplemental insight into underlying business trends and operating results. These non-GAAP financial 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. While we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to investors, there are limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP financial measures. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures should be read in conjunction with the Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Within this press release, the Company makes reference to EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net loss, and adjusted diluted net loss per share which are non-GAAP financial measures. EBITDA represents net loss before income taxes, interest expense and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net loss, net of tax, represent EBITDA as adjusted to exclude certain non-cash and non-recurring charges, including stock-based compensation, acquisition and integration expense, certain pending litigation expenses and other non-recurring charges that may not be indicative of the Company’s financial performance.

The Company is presenting adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net loss because we believe that they provide a more meaningful comparison than EBITDA and net loss of the Company's core business operating results and those of other similar companies. Management believes that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net loss, when viewed with the Company's results of operations in accordance with GAAP and the accompanying reconciliations in the tables below, provide useful information about operating performance and period-over-period growth, and provide additional information that is useful for evaluating the operating performance of the Company's core business without regard to potential distortions. Additionally, management believes that adjusted EBITDA permits investors to gain an understanding of the factors and trends affecting its ongoing cash earnings, from which capital investments are made and debt is serviced.

However, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net loss are not measures of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and, accordingly, should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) from operations or cash flow from operating activities as indicators of operating performance or liquidity. Also, these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled captions of other companies. The tables below provide reconciliations between net loss and EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net loss.

The Company's results of operations are impacted by certain non-cash and non-recurring charges, including stock-based compensation, acquisition and divestiture related expenditures, expense related to the Company's efforts to resolve a regulatory matter, and other non-recurring charges that may not be indicative of the Company’s financial performance. Management believes that adjusting its costs of sales, operating expenses, operating loss, net loss and diluted loss per share to remove non-recurring charges, provides a useful perspective with respect to the Company's operating results and provides supplemental information to both management and investors by removing items that are difficult to predict and are often unanticipated.

The following tables set forth certain unaudited supplemental financial and other data for the periods indicated (in thousands, except per share and footnote amounts):
