Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.

How this balance works
Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.
It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.
Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Key Terms

4 terms
Annual Recurring Revenue financial
"annualized revenue from subscription services"
Annual recurring revenue is the predictable amount of money a company expects to earn each year from ongoing customer subscriptions or contracts. It helps businesses understand how much steady income they can count on, much like a subscription service that charges customers every month or year. This figure is important because it shows the company's stability and growth potential.
Adjusted EBITDA financial
"net loss before income taxes, interest expense, and depreciation and amortization"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
Active Sites financial
"locations active on PAR’s subscription services"
Free Cash Flow financial
"net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures"
Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.

(1) See “Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for descriptions of key performance indicators and non-GAAP financial measures, and reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to corresponding GAAP financial measures. Amounts presented in the reconciliations and other tables presented herein may not sum due to rounding.
(2) Results exclude historical results from our Government segment which are reported as discontinued operations.
(3) Neither net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to adjusted EBITDA, nor a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net loss is available on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable efforts because certain required information is unknown, out of our control, or cannot be reasonably predicted. These items include, but are not limited to, stock-based compensation expense, transaction and integration costs related to acquisitions, severance costs related to restructuring activities, impairment losses, and debt extinguishment activity. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to assess the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a material impact on its future GAAP financial results.

PAR TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
(unaudited)
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to disclosing financial results in accordance with GAAP, this press release contains references to the non-GAAP financial measures below. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with useful supplemental information about our operating performance, enable comparison of financial trends and results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in operating our business and measuring our performance. Our non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments based on one or more of the following items below.
Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated. Additionally, these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures disclosed by other companies.
| Non-GAAP Measure or Adjustment | Definition | Usefulness to management and investors | ||||||
| Non-GAAP subscription service gross margin percentage | Represents subscription service gross margin percentage adjusted to exclude amortization from acquired and internally developed software, stock-based compensation, severance, and impairment of capitalized software development costs. | We believe that non-GAAP subscription service gross margin percentage and adjusted EBITDA provide useful perspectives with respect to the Company's core operating performance and ongoing cash earnings by adjusting for certain non-cash and non-recurring charges that may not be indicative of our financial performance. | ||||||
| Adjusted EBITDA | Represents net loss before income taxes, interest expense, and depreciation and amortization adjusted to exclude discontinued operations, stock-based compensation, transaction costs, severance, impairment loss, litigation expense, (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt, net, and other income (expense), net. | |||||||
| Non-GAAP diluted net income per share | Represents net loss per share excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets, non-cash interest, discontinued operations, stock-based compensation, transaction costs, severance, impairment loss, litigation expense, (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt, net, and other income (expense), net, as well as the income tax effect of these adjustments. | We believe that adjusting our diluted net loss per share to remove non-cash and non-recurring charges provides a useful perspective with respect to the Company's operating performance as well as comparisons to past and competitor operating results. | ||||||
| Stock-based compensation | Consists of non-cash charges related to our employee equity incentive plans. | We exclude stock-based compensation because management does not view these non-cash charges as part of our core operating performance. This adjustment facilitates a useful evaluation of our current operating performance as well as comparisons to past and competitor operating results. | ||||||
6
| Non-GAAP Measure or Adjustment | Definition | Usefulness to management and investors | ||||||
| Transaction costs | Adjustment reflects non-recurring professional fees incurred in transaction due diligence and integration. | We exclude professional fees incurred in corporate development because management does not view these non-recurring charges, which are inconsistent in size and are significantly impacted by the timing and valuation of our transactions, as part of our core operating performance. This adjustment facilitates a useful evaluation of our current operating performance, comparisons to past and competitor operating results, and additional means to evaluate expense trends. | ||||||
| Severance | Adjustment reflects severance tied to non-recurring restructuring activities included in cost of sales, sales and marketing expense, general and administrative expense, and research and development expense. | We exclude these non-recurring adjustments because management does not view these costs as part of our core operating performance. These adjustments facilitate a useful evaluation of our current operating performance as well as comparisons to past and competitor operating results. | ||||||
| Litigation expense | Adjustment reflects non-recurring legal fees incurred in connection with certain litigation matters. | |||||||
| Impairment loss | Adjustment reflects impairment charges related to the write-off of an indefinite-lived trademark acquired in the Stuzo Acquisition and the write-off of capitalized software development costs related to the abandoned PAR Clear product. | |||||||
| (Gain) loss on extinguishment of debt, net | Adjustment reflects gain recognized on the repurchase of a portion of the 2027 Notes, partially offset by loss recognized on the induced conversion of a portion of the 2026 Notes, and loss recognized on early repayment of the Credit Facility. | |||||||
| Discontinued operations | Adjustment reflects income from discontinued operations related to the divestiture of our Government segment. | |||||||
| Other (income) expense, net | Adjustment reflects foreign currency transaction gains and losses and other non-recurring income and expenses recorded in other income (expense), net in the accompanying statements of operations. | |||||||
| Non-cash interest | Adjustment reflects non-cash amortization of issuance costs and discount related to the Company's long-term debt. | We exclude these non-cash and non-recurring adjustments for purposes of calculating non-GAAP diluted net income (loss) per share because management does not view these costs as part of our core operating performance. These adjustments facilitate a useful evaluation of our current operating performance, comparisons to past and competitor operating results, and additional means to evaluate expense trends. | ||||||
| Acquired intangible assets amortization | Adjustment reflects amortization expense of acquired developed technology included within cost of sales and amortization expense of acquired intangible assets. | |||||||

Beginning in the second quarter of 2026, the Company revised its calculation of non-GAAP net income (loss) per share to: (i) reflect the current and deferred income tax effects attributable to its non-GAAP adjustments; and (ii) include the dilutive effect of equity-based awards and other potentially dilutive securities when the Company reports non-GAAP net income, even when such securities are excluded from GAAP diluted earnings per share because they were antidilutive to the GAAP net loss. Prior period non-GAAP amounts presented herein have been recast to conform to the revised methodology. These revisions affect only the Company’s non-GAAP measures and do not affect its GAAP financial statements, GAAP net income (loss), or GAAP net income (loss) per share.

(1) The income tax effect of the non-GAAP adjustments reflects the jurisdiction-specific tax consequences attributable to those adjustments, calculated by (i) applying the applicable statutory tax rate to non-GAAP adjustments in jurisdictions where no valuation allowance exists; and (ii) applying no tax effect to adjustments in jurisdictions with a full valuation allowance.
(2) When convertible senior notes are dilutive on a non-GAAP basis, non-GAAP net income used to calculate non-GAAP diluted net income per share includes an add-back of interest expense associated with those dilutive convertible notes under the if-converted method.
(3) Represents the incremental effect of dilutive securities included in the calculation of non-GAAP diluted weighted average shares outstanding.
(4) Non-GAAP diluted weighted average shares outstanding include the effect of potentially dilutive common stock equivalents (stock options, restricted stock units, and warrants) under the treasury stock method. Shares issuable upon conversion of the Company's convertible senior notes are included when their conversion is dilutive to non-GAAP net income per share for the periods presented after applying the if-converted method from the beginning of the period or, if later, the issuance date, which requires adding back the related interest expense to the numerator and including the shares issuable upon conversion in the denominator. For the three months ended September 30, 2026, the 2031 Notes were dilutive and included in the calculation.

13partech.com Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Financial Measures • Annual Recurring Revenue or "ARR” is the annualized revenue from subscription services, including subscription fees for our SaaS solutions and related software support, managed platform development services, and transaction-based payment processing services. We generally calculate ARR by annualizing the monthly recurring revenue for all Active Sites as of the last day of each month for the respective reporting period. Our reported ARR is based on a constant currency, using the exchange rates established at the beginning of the year and consistently applied throughout the period and to comparative periods presented. Applying a constant currency impacted our reported ARR figures for prior periods presented, beginning with Q3 2024, as exchange rate effects began with the acquisition of TASK Group Holdings Limited in 2024. • “Active Sites” represent locations active on PAR’s subscription services as of the last day of the respective reporting period. • “Non-GAAP Subscription Service Gross Margin Percentage” represents subscription service gross margin percentage adjusted to exclude amortization from acquired and internally developed software, stock-based compensation, severance, and impairment of capitalized software development costs. • “Adjusted EBITDA” represents net loss before income taxes, interest expense, and depreciation and amortization adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation, transaction costs, severance, impairment losses, litigation expense, gain on extinguishment of debt, net, and other (income) expense, net. • "Free Cash Flow" is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, including purchases of property and equipment and capitalized software costs. We believe free cash flow provides useful information regarding cash generated from operations after investments in property, equipment, and software.
