“Our performance in the quarter was a result of strength across both of PAR’s segments evidenced by revenue growth of 5.9% over the third quarter in 2015 and a 17.0% increase sequentially from the previous quarter. We are seeing increased demand from our Restaurant/Retail Tier 1 customers, and also had increased deployments of our Brink cloud platform-as-a-service solution in the recently ended quarter,” commented Karen E. Sammon, PAR Technology Corporation President and Chief Executive Officer. “The success of PAR’s cloud solutions have favorably impacted our business as reflected by a 75% rise in our SaaS revenues from the third quarter last year. I am also pleased to report that our Government segment had a strong quarter as revenues increased by 4.9% over the prior year third quarter as we continue to add new contract awards and extensions and our backlog in this segment at the end of the quarter is a very healthy $122.4 million.”

Sammon continued, “PAR is bringing new technology to market at a rapid pace to address critical customer needs leveraging cloud technology, IoT and machine learning coupled with our passion for customer success. Our value proposition is resonating in the marketplace, positioning our Company as a mission-critical partner for companies looking to succeed in the emerging outcomes-based economy. We are committed to excellence throughout our organization, with our products and for all of our stakeholders. Our innovation supported by our proven track record in the markets we serve is fueling our performance and sets our Company up for future growth.”

Other Matters

Disclosed in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2016 to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) today, the Company discovered and is currently investigating potential improper import/export and/or documentation of sales activities arising out of conduct in the Company’s China and Singapore offices. While it has been determined that no amendments need to be made to the Company’s prior period consolidated financial statements, material weaknesses in internal controls with respect to oversight of the sales operations in China and Singapore have been identified. The Company has notified the SEC, and is developing and implementing remediation plans and corrective actions to fully address the identified material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting. If the SEC or other governmental agencies were to open an investigation, the Company could be exposed to sanctions, including fines, penalties, disgorgement and/or injunctive relief. As a result of the foregoing, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2016.

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with GAAP, which refers to 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 supplemental 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 may not be indicative of the Company’s business trends. Management believes that adjusting its operating expenses, operating income, net earnings and diluted earnings per share to remove these certain items provides an useful 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 ERP system implementation. Management believes that further adjusting its operating expenses, operating income, net earnings and diluted earnings per share to remove the impact of the ERP expenses provides a useful 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 ERP system implementation.

During the third quarter of 2016, the Company recorded charges within selling, general and administrative of $406,000 of investigation costs related to certain unauthorized transfers of Company funds that were made in contravention of the Company’s policies and procedures, $36,000 related to the initial phase of the planned implementation of a new enterprise resource system, $789,000 write off relating to the Company’s previous human capital management system that is being replaced in connection with the ERP system implementation and equity based compensation charges of $190,000. Lastly, related to the acquisition of Brink, the Company recognized amortization of acquired intangible assets of $241,000 and accreted interest of $26,000. During the third quarter of 2015, the Company recorded severance and other related charges of $200,000 and equity based compensation charges of $214,000, included in selling, general and administrative. The Company also recognized amortization of acquired intangible assets of $248,000 and accreted interest of $26,000 related to the acquisition of Brink. The aforementioned charges, along with an associated adjustment to the Company’s provision for income taxes have been excluded in the Company’s non-GAAP measures because they are considered non-recurring in nature and/or are quantitatively and qualitatively different from the Company’s core operations during any particular period.
