PAR Technology Corporation's President & CEO, Xx. Xxxxxx X. Xxxxx commented, “PAR is a company in the midst of transition and is investing for the future. PAR has made and will continue to make investments focusing on Brink, PAR’s leading cloud restaurant platform, on our Customer Success organization to ensure that our users are maximizing our solutions for their operations, and on our internal IT systems infrastructure to enable process improvement and cost-efficient automation of work flows.”
“In the fourth quarter, PAR successfully executed reductions in both our domestic and international businesses with an estimated annual savings of $3.5 million. The savings will be reinvested as described above. While our fourth quarter revenue decreased year-over-year, revenues in the quarter increased $6.6 million sequentially over the third quarter 2017.”
Xx. Xxxxx concluded by highlighting two important leading indicators, “PAR’s Government segment returned to revenue growth in the quarter while continuing to increase profits. Secondly, PAR’s Restaurant / Retail segment recorded new Brink POS bookings of 1,467 stores in the fourth quarter as compared with new bookings of 426 stores in the sequential third quarter, as market interest in PAR’s Brink solution accelerated. As evidence of the success of our Brink strategy to invest in solutions for multi-unit operators, 70% of the fourth quarter bookings were tied to major accounts captured in 2017.”

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 severance charges from restructuring business operations, 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. PAR believes the adjustments provide a useful comparison on a year-over-year basis.
During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company recorded $652,000 of expenses related to the Company’s previously disclosed internal investigation of conduct at its China and Singapore offices. Additionally, $349,000 of equity based compensation charges were recorded during the fourth quarter of 2017. One-time severance costs of $512,000, $165,000, and $113,000 are included in selling, general and administrative, costs of sales and research & development expense, respectively. The Company recognized amortization of acquired intangible assets of $242,000 related to the Company’s 2014 acquisition of Brink Software, Inc. Offsetting these charges, the Company recorded a $1,000,000 decrease to a contingent consideration liability related to the Brink Software acquisition. Lastly, the Company incurred a one-time decrease to the carrying value of its deferred tax assets of $4,490,000 as a result of the future tax rate changes resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. This decrease is reflected in the provision for/benefit from income tax line above netted down by a 24% or $248,000 tax impact from the non-GAAP adjustments as compared to a 37% or $147,000 increase to tax expense in 2016.
During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company recorded $1,323,000 of expenses related to the Company’s internal investigation of conduct at its China/Singapore offices offset by a $10,000 decrease to the amount recognized for the internal investigation related to the Company’s former chief financial officer’s unauthorized transfers of Company funds. In addition, $123,000 of expenses related to the implementation of the Company's new ERP system, and $72,000 of equity based compensation charges were recorded during the fourth quarter of 2016. Included within costs of sales was $517,000 of accelerated amortization related to the Company’s discontinued development of a software module. The Company recognized amortization of acquired intangible assets of $242,000 related to the Company’s acquisition of Brink Software. Offsetting these charges, the Company recorded an insurance recovery of $771,000, relating to the Company’s former chief financial officer’s unauthorized transfers of Company funds, and a $1,100,000 decrease to a contingent consideration liability related to the Brink Software acquisition.
