PAR Technology CEO, Savneet Singh commented, 'Our Q1 performance showed the strength and resiliency of our business and the continued aggressive investments in technology from our customers. In the quarter we saw significant demand for our cloud Brink POS® software and bookings in Q1 totaled 1,345 stores, which is an 85% increase from the Brink bookings in Q1 last year. Our backlog at the end of Q1 was over 3,300+ stores, by far the highest number we've ever had. As the effects of the pandemic mitigate, we are seeing a strong activation pace in Q2 and expect that to continue throughout the year which will bring our backlog down.'

Singh continued, 'Just a brief update on our recently closed acquisition of Punchh. This acquisition is an important piece towards executing our strategy to enhance and build out our software platform. The addition of Punchh makes PAR a unified

commerce cloud platform for enterprise restaurants and positions PAR to fast-track new customer wins with integrated point-of-sale, back office, payment and guest engagement solutions. This is an exciting step in the evolution of both PAR and the restaurant industry. Customer loyalty and CRM SaaS has rapidly evolved from being a novelty for restaurants to now a business-critical form of managing the customer relationship and revenue generation for enterprise brands. Our customers have been very supportive of the transaction and are excited to realize the benefits of the integrated PAR/Punchh platform.'

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. 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 condensed financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

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

We are 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, as well as with 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 table above, 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 our 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 above provide reconciliations between net loss and EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net loss.

The Company's results of operations are impacted by certain non-recurring charges, including stock-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.
