“I am pleased with our results in the quarter as they demonstrate our focus on growing revenues, investing in our future, and executing upon our growth strategy of being a software-driven solutions company,” stated Dr. Donald H. Foley, PAR Technology President and Chief Executive Officer. “In the quarter we recognized higher revenue from our Tier 1 customers due to accelerated hardware deployments and one-time system integration projects. These accelerated hardware deployments and projects wound down this quarter and while we anticipate our business will achieve our annual goals, we do not expect this pace in the second half of the year.”

Foley continued, “Both our restaurant/retail and government segments contributed to the bottom line increase in the quarter. Our recurring software revenue more than doubled from last year’s quarter in our Restaurant/Retail segment. We continue to collect additional validation that our restaurant/retail solutions meet the needs of our customers. We added a number of impressive new software customers to our install base during the second quarter, and are conducting pilots at a number of additional accounts. In our Government segment, we continue to see lower contract revenues at higher margins as we consciously execute our plan to transition our business to higher value added Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance (ISR) contracts.

“In closing, we appreciate and value the support we have received from our customers, vendors and shareholders. It is gratifying to see positive results come out of the hard work of our dedicated employees. Even more exciting are the opportunities we believe the future will offer us and I look forward to reporting back to you as the year progresses.”

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with GAAP. However, non-GAAP adjusted financial measures, as defined in the reconciliation table above, are provided because management uses these non-GAAP 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 operating results. These non-GAAP 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 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 related expenditures, and other non-recurring charges that may not be indicative of the Company’s financial performance. Management believes that adjusting its operating expenses, operating income, net earnings and diluted earnings per share to remove non-recurring charges provides a useful perspective with respect to our operating results and provides supplemental information to both management and investors by removing items that are difficult to predict and are often unanticipated. The Company believes the adjustments provide a useful comparison on a year-over-year basis.

During the second quarter of 2017, the Company recorded charges within selling, general and administrative of $605,000 related to the Company’s previously disclosed investigation of import export and sales documentation activities at the Company’s China and Singapore offices and the SEC subpoena. In addition, $5,000 of expenses related to the implementation of the new ERP system, and $61,000 of equity based compensation charges were recorded during the second quarter of 2017. Lastly, the Company recognized amortization of acquired intangible assets of $242,000 related to the Company’s acquisition of Brink.

During the second quarter of 2016, the Company recorded charges within selling, general and administrative of $304,000 of investigation costs related to certain unauthorized transfers of Company funds that were made in contravention of the Company’s policies and procedures, $127,000 related to the implementation of the new ERP system and equity based compensation charges of $141,000. Lastly, related to the acquisition of Brink, the Company recognized amortization of acquired intangible assets of $242,000 and accreted interest of $26,000.
