“Our results in Q3 highlight the resiliency of the restaurant industry and importantly the acceleration in cloud adoption. Q3 bookings were the most we’ve seen in almost three years and highlights how quickly enterprise restaurants are reacting during the Covid-19 pandemic. As the world stabilizes, we expect activations and bookings to continue to grow,” commented Savneet Singh, PAR Technology’s CEO & President. “Alongside our strong software bookings were solid results in our hardware business. We saw strong demand for our drive thru product line and a recovery in our core terminal business. By design, our Company provides business critical technology to the most resilient sector of the restaurant industry. Our customers rely on PAR to consistently provide the products and services they require to serve their customers and improve their operations.”

Mr. Singh continued, “We are confident our Company is navigating current market conditions from a position of strength. Our recent capital raise in September gives us the strength and flexibility to increase market share by both organic and inorganic means. The pandemic continues to highlight the strength of our cloud solutions and further validates the subscription economy within enterprise restaurants. PAR remains well positioned to achieve our strategic goals, even during the most challenging environment for restaurants in history.”

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 table above, 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. In addition, these non-GAAP financial 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 equity based compensation, acquisition and divestiture related expenditures, expense related to the China/Singapore Investigation, 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. While the Company believes the adjustments provide a useful comparison, the reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to corresponding GAAP measures should be carefully evaluated.
