“In the first quarter our Company again saw steady growth in our restaurant and retail technology revenues reflected by the 8% increase over Q1 2015. Our Government revenues were lower in the quarter due to the timing of specific contract startups and lower task orders, but we were still able to report the highest Q1 profit in our Company’s history for this segment,” commented Karen E. Sammon, President & CEO of PAR Technology. “We made real progress in the quarter as we realized strong double digit growth in our SaaS revenues as we consistently add new “cloud” customers with our Brink and SureCheck solutions. Simultaneously we continue to grow our Tier 1 business and announced Jack-in-the-Box as a new customer in the quarter. We are creating a strong foundation that will enable us to deliver greater shareholder value in the future.”

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with GAAP, which refers financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. However, non-GAAP adjusted financial measures, as defined in the reconciliation table above, are provided herein because management uses such measures in evaluating the results of the continuing operations of the Company and believes this information provides investors better insight into underlying business trends and performance. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

PAR's results of operations are impacted by certain items which include severance charges from restructuring business operations, equity based compensation, acquisition related expenditures, and other one-time charges that are should not be considered in analyzing the trends of the business. Management believes that adjusting its operating expenses, operating income, net earnings and diluted earnings per share to remove these certain items provides an important perspective with respect to our results and provides meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors that removes these items which are difficult to predict and are often unanticipated, and which, as a result are difficult to include in analyst's financial models and our investors' expectations with any degree of specificity. PAR believes the adjusted totals facilitate comparison on a year-over-year basis.

PAR's results of operations are further impacted by costs from its multi-year Business Transformation Project. Management believes that further adjusting its operating expenses, operating income, net earnings and diluted earnings per share to remove the impact of the Business Transformation Project expenses provides an important perspective with respect to underlying business trends and results and provides meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors that is indicative of the performance of the company's underlying operations and facilitates comparison on a year-over-year basis.

The company uses these non-GAAP measures when evaluating its financial results as well as for internal planning and forecasting purposes. These financial measures should not be used as a substitute in assessing the company's results of operations for the periods presented. An analysis of any non-GAAP financial measure should be used in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. As a result, in the tables that follow, each period presented is adjusted to remove the certain items noted above. Each period has been further adjusted to remove expenses related to the Business Transformation Project.
