4/27/11: PAR Technology Corportation Reports First Quarter Results

New Hartford, NY – (April 27, 2011) – PAR Technology Corporation (NYSE:PAR) today announced results from operations for the first quarter ended March 31, 2011.

PAR reported first quarter revenues of $55.8 million, a 4% decline over the $58.1 million reported in the same period a year ago. Reported net income for the first quarter was $404,000, a decrease from the net income of $582,000 in the first quarter of 2010. The Company reported diluted earnings per share of $0.03 for the first quarter of 2011, compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.04 for the first quarter of last year.

Revenue for the quarter was in line with the Company’s expectations. However, service revenues in the hospitality segment continue to be negatively impacted from the ongoing systems upgrade initiative with PAR’s largest customer, McDonald’s and their utilization of outside system integrators for the accelerated deployment of in-store technology systems. Offsetting that decrease somewhat, the Company continued to realize gains in product revenue in the hospitality and logistics management segments of our business, growing nearly 8% in the quarter. For the rest of 2011, the Company expects improved profitability based on increased software revenues, operating efficiencies and operating income improvement from all business segments.
