The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the Company's accounts and those of its consolidated subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements of PAR Technology Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X pertaining to interim financial statements as promulgated by the SEC. In the opinion of management, the Company's financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading and to provide a fair presentation of the Company's financial results for the interim period included in this Quarterly Report.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements requires management of the Company to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Significant items subject to these estimates and assumptions include revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, the recognition and measurement of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations at fair value, the carrying amount of property, plant, and equipment including right-to-use assets and liabilities, identifiable intangible assets and goodwill, valuation allowances for receivables, valuation of excess and obsolete inventories, and measurement of contingent consideration at fair value. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Disaggregated Revenue

The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by major product line for each of its reporting segments because the Company believes it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by contract terms and economic factors.

Disaggregated revenue is as follows:

Note 3 —Acquisitions

On March 8, 2024, ParTech, Inc. ("ParTech"), acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interests of Stuzo Blocker, Inc., Stuzo Holdings, LLC and their subsidiaries (collectively, “Stuzo” and such acquisition, the “Stuzo Acquisition”), a digital engagement software provider to Convenience and Fuel Retailers (C-Stores), for purchase consideration of approximately $170.5 million paid in cash (the "Cash Consideration"), subject to certain adjustments (including customary adjustments for Stuzo cash, debt, debt-like items, and net working capital), and $19.2 million paid in shares of Company common stock.441,598 shares of common stock were issued as purchase consideration, determined using a fair value share price of $43.41. The Company acquired Stuzo to expand our footprint in the C-Stores market vertical with an industry-leading guest engagement platform serving major brands in the space.

Consideration paid in cash on the date of acquisition included $1.5 million deposited into an escrow account administered by a third party to fund potential post-closing adjustments and obligations. The balance in the escrow account was $1.5 million as of March 31, 2024.

The Company incurred acquisition expenses related to its acquisition of Stuzo of approximately $2.9 million.

The transaction was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. Accordingly, assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been accounted for at their preliminarily determined respective fair values as of March 8, 2024, the date of acquisition. The fair value determinations were based on management's best estimates and assumptions, and with the assistance of independent valuation and tax consultants. Identified preliminary fair values are subject to measurement period adjustments within the permitted measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date) as management finalizes its procedures and net working capital adjustments are settled.

The following table presents management's preliminary purchase price allocation:

Intangible Assets

The Company identified four acquired intangible assets in the Stuzo Acquisition: developed technology; customer relationships; the Stuzo trade name and trademarks; and non-competition agreements. The preliminary fair value of developed technology and customer relationship intangible assets were determined utilizing the “multi-period excess earnings method”, which is predicated upon the calculation of the net present value of after-tax net cash flows respectively attributable to each asset. The Company applied aseven-year economic life and discount rate of 12.5% in determining the Stuzo developed technology intangible fair value. The Company applied a 7.0% estimated annual attrition rate and discount rate of 12.5% in determining the Stuzo customer relationships intangible preliminary fair value. The preliminary fair value of the Stuzo trade name and trademarks intangible was determined utilizing the “relief from royalty” approach, which is a form of the income approach that attributes savings incurred from not having to pay a royalty for the use of an asset. The Company applied a fair and reasonable royalty rate of 1.0% and discount rate of 12.5% in determining the Stuzo trade name intangible preliminary fair value. The preliminary fair value of the Stuzo non-competition agreements was determined utilizing the discounted earnings method. The estimated useful life of these identifiable intangible assets was preliminarily determined to beseven years for the developed technology, twelve years for the customer relationships, indefinite for the Stuzo trade name and trademarks, andfive years for the non-competition agreements.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of consideration transferred for the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired and is tested for impairment at least annually. The goodwill value represents expected synergies from the product acquired and other benefits. It is not deductible for income tax purposes.

Deferred Taxes

The Company determined the deferred tax position to be recorded at the time of the Stuzo Acquisition in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, resulting in recognition of $8.3 million in deferred tax liabilities for future reversing of taxable temporary differences primarily for intangible assets.

The net deferred tax liability relating to the Stuzo Acquisition was determined by the Company to provide future taxable temporary differences that allow for the Company to utilize certain previously fully reserved deferred tax assets. Accordingly, the Company recognized a reduction to its valuation allowance resulting in a net tax benefit of $8.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Pro Forma Financial Information - unaudited

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Stuzo Acquisition resulted in additional revenues of $2.7 million and net income of $0.4 million.

The following table summarizes the Company's unaudited pro forma results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 as if the Stuzo Acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2023:

The unaudited pro forma results presented above are for illustrative purposes only and do not reflect the realization of actual cost savings or any related integration costs. The unaudited pro forma results do not purport to be indicative of the results that would have been obtained, or to be a projection of results that may be obtained in the future. These unaudited pro forma results include certain adjustments, primarily due to increases in amortization expense due to the fair value adjustments of intangible assets, acquisition related costs and the impact of income taxes on the pro forma adjustments. $2.4 million of acquisition costs have been reflected in the 2023 pro forma results.

Note 4 —Accounts Receivable, net

The Company’s net accounts receivables consist of:

Note 8 —Common Stock

In connection with, and to partially fund the Cash Consideration related to the Stuzo Acquisition, on March 7, 2024, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with funds and accounts advised by T. Rowe Price Investment Management, Inc., ADW Capital, Voss Capital, Greenhaven Road Capital, Jane Street, Progeny 3, Fund 1 Investments LLC, Newtyn Capital, Ghisallo Capital Management and Burkehill Global Management (collectively, the “Purchasers”) to raise approximately $200 million through a private placement of PAR common stock. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, PAR issued and sold 5,174,638 shares of its common stock at a 10% discount to the Purchasers for a gross purchase price of approximately $200 million ($38.65 per share). Net proceeds from the Purchase Agreement were approximately $194.4 million, net of issuance costs of $5.5 million.

On January 2, 2024, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with PAR Act III, LLC ("PAR Act III") pursuant to which PAR Act III will provide the Company with strategic consulting, merger and acquisition technology due diligence, and other professional and expert services that may be requested from time to time by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer through April 8, 2026. In consideration for the services provided under the consulting agreement, the Company amended its common stock purchase warrant issued to PAR Act III on April 8, 2021 (the "Warrant") to extend the termination date of the Warrant to April 8, 2028, subject to the consulting agreement remaining in effect through April 8, 2026.

The issuance date fair value of the Warrant extension was determined to be $4.5 million based on using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions as of January 2, 2024:

In connection with the Company's March 2024 offering of its common stock, as a result of anti-dilution provisions of the Warrant, an additional 6,312 shares of common stock are available for purchase under the Warrant, at an exercise price of $74.96 per share.100% of the shares available for purchase under the Warrant are exercisable at the exercise price of $74.96 per share.

The Warrant is accounted for as stock-based compensation to non-employees pursuant to ASC Topic 718, Stock Compensation, by way of ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, due to the Warrant extension being in exchange for consulting services. The issuance date fair value of the Warrant extension of $4.5 million will be recognized as stock based compensation expense ratably over the requisite service period for the Warrant extension ending April 8, 2026.

Note 9 —Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense, net of forfeitures of $0.7 million and $0.1 million, was $4.4 million and $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

At March 31, 2024, the aggregate unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested equity awards was $35.5 million, which is expected to be recognized as compensation expense in fiscal years 2024 through 2027.

A summary of stock option activity for the three months ended March 31, 2024 is below:

A summary of unvested restricted stock units activity for the three months ended March 31, 2024 is below:

A total of 330,000 shares of Company common stock are available for purchase under the Company's 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP"), subject to adjustment as provided for in the ESPP. As of March 31, 2024, no shares of common stock were purchased.

Note 10 —Net Loss Per Share

Net loss per share is calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share, which specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for earnings per share (“EPS”). It requires the presentation of basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS excludes all dilution and is based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that would occur if convertible securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised. At March 31, 2024, there were 802,000 anti-dilutive stock options outstanding compared to 1,021,000 as of March 31, 2023. At March 31, 2024 there were 829,000 anti-dilutive restricted stock units compared to 634,000 as of March 31, 2023.

Note 11 —Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, the Company is party to legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Additionally, U.S. Government contract costs are subject to periodic audit and adjustment. Based on information currently available, and based on its evaluation of such information, the Company believes the legal proceedings in which it is currently involved are not material or are not likely to result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations, or cannot currently be estimated.

Note 12 —Segment and Related Information

The Company is organized intwo segments, Restaurant/Retail and Government. Management views the Restaurant/Retail and Government segments separately in operating its business, as the products and services are different for each segment. Information noted as “Other” primarily relates to the Company’s corporate operations.

Information as to the Company’s segments is set forth in the tables below:

The following table represents assets by reporting segment:

The following table represents assets by country based on the location of the assets:

The following table represents goodwill by reporting segment:

Customers comprising 10% or more of the Company’s total revenues by reporting segment are summarized as follows:

No other customer within "All Others" represented 10% or more of the Company’s total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024 or 2023.

Note 13 —Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments have been recorded at fair value using available market information and valuation techniques. The fair value hierarchy is based upon three levels of input, which are:

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (observable)

Level 2 — inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable market data for essentially the full term of the asset or liability (observable)

Level 3 — unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, but are significant to determining the fair value of the asset or liability (unobservable)

The Company’s financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, cash held on behalf of customers, short-term investments, debt instruments and deferred compensation assets and liabilities. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, cash held on behalf of customers, and short-term investments as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were considered representative of their fair values because of their short-term nature. Debt instruments are recorded at principal amount net of unamortized debt issuance cost and discount (refer to "Note 7 - Debt" for additional information). The estimated fair value of the 2.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the "2026 Notes") and 1.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (the "2027 Notes") at March 31, 2024 was $149.1 million and $244.2 million respectively. The estimated fair value of the 2026 Notes and 2027 Notes at December 31, 2023 was $145.6 million and $236.1 million respectively. The valuation techniques used to determine the fair value of the Company's long-term debt are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as they are derived from broker quotations.

Deferred compensation assets and liabilities primarily relate to the Company’s deferred compensation plan, which allows for pre-tax salary deferrals for certain key employees. Changes in the fair value of the deferred compensation liabilities are derived using quoted prices in active markets of the asset selections made by plan participants. Deferred compensation liabilities are classified in Level 2, the fair value classification as defined under FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, because their inputs are derived principally from observable market data by correlation to the hypothetical investments. The Company holds insurance investments to partially offset the Company’s liabilities under its deferred compensation plan, which are recorded at fair value each period using the cash surrender value of the insurance investments.

The cash surrender value of the life insurance policy was $3.3 million and $3.3 million at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and is included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amounts owed to employees participating in the deferred compensation plan at March 31, 2024 were $1.2 million compared to $1.4 million at December 31, 2023 and are included in other long-term liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company uses a Monte Carlo simulation of a discounted cash flow model to determine the fair value of the earn-out liability associated with the acquisition of MENU Technologies AG (the "MENU Acquisition"). Significant inputs used in the simulation are not observable in the market and thus the liability represents a Level 3 fair value measurement as defined in ASC 820. Ultimately, the liability will be equivalent to the amount paid, and the difference between the fair value estimate and amount paid will be recorded in earnings. The amount paid that is less than or equal to the liability on the acquisition date will be reflected as cash used in financing activities in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Any amount paid in excess of the liability on the acquisition date will be reflected as cash used in operating activities.

The following table presents the changes in the estimated fair values of the Company’s liabilities for contingent consideration measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the three months ended March 31:

The balance of the fair value of the liability was recorded within "Accrued expenses" in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The change in fair value of contingent consideration was recorded within "Adjustment to contingent consideration liability" in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The following table provides quantitative information associated with the fair value measurement of the Company’s liabilities for contingent consideration as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

(1) Maximum payout as determined by Monte Carlo valuation simulation; the disclosed contingency is not subject to a contractual maximum payout.
