## Quarterly

Quarterly standardized facts from SEC companyfacts as of latest extracted filing date 2026-05-07. Source: https://data.sec.gov/api/xbrl/companyfacts/CIK0000708821.json.

Flow metrics use discrete quarter-length periods from 10-Q/10-Q/A filings. Q4 revenue and net income are derived only when annual FY and nine-month YTD facts exist for the same fiscal year; derived Q4 values are labeled. EPS Q4 is not derived.

Macroeconomic Environment

The tariff and supply chain environment remains complex and evolving. Beginning in the second quarter of 2025, the U.S. government implemented a series of significant new tariffs, including under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA"), affecting imports from several countries where we source certain components and hardware products. Other countries responded with retaliatory actions or plans for retaliatory actions. On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court held that IEEPA does not authorize the President to impose tariffs, though the administrative process for seeking refunds remains under development and subject to considerable uncertainty. Following the ruling, the administration announced a replacement, time-limited 10% global ad valorem tariff effective February 24, 2026, which has subsequently been subject to legal challenge. In March 2026, the U.S. Trade Representative was directed to initiate new investigations for the purpose of building the legal foundation for a second round of durable, country-specific tariffs. The resulting situation remains uncertain and fluid.

Additionally, increased demand for hardware products and components from AI data center construction around the world continues to create uncertainty as to whether these products will be available or available in needed quantities and quality or at favorable or competitive prices. We continue to monitor macroeconomic trends and uncertainties in light of continuing changes to global trade policies and supply chain pressures, which may have adverse effects on our hardware revenue and hardware gross margin.

As a result of these events, we anticipate increased supply chain challenges, commodity cost volatility, and consumer and economic uncertainty. Management continues to evaluate and implement mitigating actions, including potential supply chain resiliency movements, cost or pricing measures and alternative shipping practices, if needed, as the macroeconomic environment evolves.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025

Total revenues were $124.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, an increase of $20.1 million or 19.4% compared to $103.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Subscription service revenues were $78.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, an increase of $10.1 million or 14.8% compared to $68.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by increased Engagement Cloud subscription service revenues of $6.2 million, primarily driven by growth in average revenue per site through cross-selling initiatives, upselling, and price increases. Operator Cloud subscription service revenues increased $3.9 million, primarily driven by growth in active sites.

Hardware revenues were $29.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, an increase of $7.4 million or 33.9% compared to $21.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by increased revenues from sales of terminals of $3.8 million, peripherals (scanners, printers, and components) of $0.9 million, kiosks of $0.9 million, and an increase in international sales of $0.8 million. These increases were substantially driven by the timing of tier-one enterprise customer hardware refresh cycles and the onboarding of Operator Cloud customers purchasing hardware. Hardware revenues will continue to be affected by the timing of the aforementioned drivers.

Professional service revenues were $16.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, an increase of $2.6 million or 19.0% compared to $13.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by a $2.3 million increase in installation revenues associated with the onboarding of Tier 1 Operator Cloud customers.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025

Total gross margin as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026, decreased to 44.0% from 46.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Subscription service margin as a percentage of subscription service revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026, decreased to 55.6% from 57.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease primarily reflects a change in subscription service revenue mix, as product and service offerings with comparatively lower gross margins represented a greater proportion of revenue, consistent with the mix shift that began in the second quarter of 2025.

Hardware margin as a percentage of hardware revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026, decreased to 21.6% from 24.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease was driven by a shift in hardware product mix and higher tariff-related costs compared to the prior year. While pricing adjustments initiated in the third quarter of 2025 have partially mitigated these cost increases, they have not fully offset the impact, resulting in continued margin compression. The Company plans to implement additional pricing actions and will continue to evaluate its pricing strategy on a quarterly basis.

Professional service margin as a percentage of professional service revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026, increased to 27.8% from 25.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by improved margins in our hardware service repair operations and field operations as a result of reduced third-party spending and improved cost management.

Macroeconomic Environment

The tariff and supply chain environment is complex and evolving. Beginning in the second quarter of 2025, the U.S. government implemented a series of significant new tariffs, including on imports from several countries where we source certain components and hardware products. Other countries have responded with retaliatory actions or plans for retaliatory actions. There has been significant uncertainty resulting from the implementation, termination, and conditional pause of these tariffs and the situation remains fluid, including because of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act does not authorize the President to impose tariffs. Additionally, increased demand for hardware products and components from AI data center construction around the world has created uncertainty as to whether these products will be available or available in needed quantities and quality or at favorable or competitive prices. We continue to monitor macroeconomic trends and uncertainties in light of continuing changes to global trade policies and supply chain pressures, which may have adverse effects on our hardware revenue and hardware gross margin. As a result of these events, we anticipate increased supply chain challenges, commodity cost volatility, and consumer and economic uncertainty. Management continues to evaluate and implement mitigating actions, including potential supply chain resiliency movements, cost or pricing measures and alternative shipping practices, if needed, as the macroeconomic environment evolves.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the "Act") was signed into law. The Act contains changes to U.S. federal tax law, including reinstatement of immediate expensing of domestic research and development expenditures, and has multiple effective dates. The enacted legislation did not have a material impact on our annual effective tax rate for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, and resulted in a decrease to taxes payable. We will continue to evaluate all applicable provisions of the legislation and their impact on our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2026 and beyond.

For the Year Ended December 31, 2025 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2024

Total revenues were $455.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, an increase of $105.6 million or 30.2% compared to $350.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Subscription service revenues were $291.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, an increase of $83.7 million or 40.4% compared to $207.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was driven by increased Engagement Cloud subscription service revenues of $53.8 million, of which $31.2 million was attributable to inorganic revenue growth due to the inclusion of approximately six additional months of revenue from the Plexure product line and two additional months of revenue from the existing PAR Retail business in the current period, and from customer contracts acquired in the GoSkip Asset Acquisition (now integrated into the PAR Retail product line). The residual increase of $22.6 million from Engagement Cloud subscription services was driven by organic growth in both active sites and average revenue per site through cross-selling initiatives, upselling, and price increases. Operator Cloud subscription service revenues increased $29.9 million, of which $20.3 million was attributable to inorganic revenue growth contributed by the Delaget product line and the inclusion of approximately six additional months of revenue from the TASK product line in the current period. The residual increase of $9.6 million from Operator Cloud subscription services was primarily driven by organic growth in active sites.

Hardware revenues were $106.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, an increase of $19.4 million or 22.3% compared to $87.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was substantially driven by increased revenues from sales of peripherals (scanners, printers, and components) of $5.0 million, terminals of $4.9 million, kiosks of $2.4 million, kitchen display systems of $2.1 million, and an increase in international sales of $3.4 million. These increases were substantially driven by the timing of tier-one enterprise customer hardware refresh cycles and the onboarding of Operator Cloud customers purchasing hardware. Hardware revenues will continue to be affected by the timing of the aforementioned drivers.

Professional service revenues were $58.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, an increase of $2.4 million or 4.4% compared to $55.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was substantially driven by a $4.1 million increase in hardware repair services and field operations, partially offset by a $1.6 million decrease in implementation revenues as a result of offering discounts and incentives on SaaS implementations to facilitate the adoption of our recurring subscription service revenue streams.

For the Year Ended December 31, 2025 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2024

Total gross margin as a percentage of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025, increased to 43.5% as compared to 41.8% for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Subscription service margin as a percentage of subscription service revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025, increased to 54.7% as compared to 53.5% for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was substantially driven by operating efficiencies in hosting and customer support costs relative to the growth in subscription service revenues for both Engagement Cloud and Operator Cloud, as well as improved margin contributions stemming from post-acquisition operations of the Delaget product line and the inclusion of approximately two additional months of PAR Retail product line results in the current period. These improvements were partially offset by an impairment loss recorded in the current period related to the write-off of capitalized software development costs for the PAR Clear product.

Hardware margin as a percentage of hardware revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025, decreased to 22.9% as compared to 24.3% for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by increased supply chain costs resulting from recently implemented U.S. tariff policies, partially offset by a year-over-year reduction in compensation expense as we aligned our hardware-related workforce with organizational priorities. The Company began implementing pricing adjustments during the third quarter of 2025 to mitigate the impact of tariffs in future periods.

Professional service margin as a percentage of professional service revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025, was relatively unchanged at 25.0% as compared to 25.4% for the year ended December 31, 2024.

The increase was substantially driven by a $6.7 million increase in inorganic S&M expense stemming from post-acquisition operations of the Delaget product line and the inclusion of approximately six additional months of TASK Group S&M expense and two additional months of PAR Retail S&M expense in the current period. Organic S&M expense increased by $0.5 million, primarily driven by an increase in commission expense due to year-over-year sales growth.

The increase was substantially driven by a $10.8 million increase in inorganic G&A expense stemming from post-acquisition operations of the Delaget product line and the inclusion of approximately six additional months of TASK Group G&A expense and two additional months of PAR Retail G&A expense in the current period. The residual $3.0 million increase was primarily driven by certain non-cash or non-recurring expenses consisting of a $4.4 million increase in stock-based compensation expense and a $3.7 million litigation expense in the current period, partially offset by a $4.8 million decrease in costs related to transaction due diligence and integration and a $0.3 million decrease in severance costs related to non-recurring restructuring events.

The increase was substantially driven by a $9.5 million increase in inorganic R&D expense stemming from post-acquisition operations of the Delaget product line, the inclusion of approximately six additional months of TASK Group R&D expense and two additional months of PAR Retail R&D expense in the current period, and R&D expense resulting from the integration of assets acquired in the GoSkip Asset Acquisition. Organic R&D expense increased by $5.0 million, primarily driven by an increase in development costs as we continue to invest in improving and diversifying our product and service offerings.

The change was primarily due to the absence of the benefit recorded in the prior year, resulting from a reduction of the Company's valuation allowance following the establishment of deferred tax liabilities in connection with the Stuzo Acquisition and Delaget Acquisition. The provision recorded during the year ended December 31, 2025 primarily related to foreign income tax expense.

Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

We monitor certain key performance indicators and non-GAAP financial measures in the evaluation and management of our business; certain key performance indicators and non-GAAP financial measures are provided in this Annual Report because we believe they are useful in facilitating period-to-period comparisons of our business performance. Key performance indicators and non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect and should be viewed independently of our financial performance determined in accordance with GAAP. Key performance indicators and non-GAAP financial measures are not forecasts or indicators of future or expected results and should not have undue reliance placed upon them by investors.

Key Performance Indicators

Within this Annual Report, the Company makes reference to annual recurring revenue, or ARR, and active sites, which are both key performance indicators. The Company utilizes ARR and active sites as key performance indicators of the scale of our subscription services for both new and existing customers.

ARR is the annualized revenue from our subscription services, which includes subscription fees for our SaaS solutions and related support, managed platform development services, and transaction-based fees for 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. ARR is an operating measure, it does not reflect our revenue determined in accordance with GAAP, and ARR should be viewed independently of, and not combined with or substituted for, our revenue and other financial information determined in accordance with GAAP. Further, ARR is not a forecast of future revenue and investors should not place undue reliance on ARR as an indicator of our future or expected results. 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

33

Table of Contents

periods presented. The table below presents our ARR on a constant currency basis, calculated using the exchange rates set at the beginning of 2025. Using the exchange rates established during the prior period, Engagement Cloud ARR and Operator Cloud ARR as of December 31, 2024 were $2.9 million and $0.6 million higher, respectively, than the constant currency ARR reported below. There was no impact to ARR as of December 31, 2023 as the exchange rate effects only began with the TASK Group Acquisition in 2024.

Active sites represent locations active on our subscription services as of the last day of the respective reporting period. Our key performance indicators ARR and active sites are presented as two subscription service product lines:

•Engagement Cloud consisting of PAR Engagement (Punchh and PAR Ordering), PAR Retail (including GoSkip), and Plexure product offerings.

•Operator Cloud consisting of PAR POS, PAR Pay, PAR OPS (Data Central and Delaget) and TASK product offerings.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to disclosing financial results in accordance with GAAP, this Annual Report 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. The income tax effect of the below adjustments, with the exception of non-recurring income taxes, were not tax-effected due to the valuation allowance on all of our net deferred tax assets.

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, contingent consideration, transaction costs, gain on insurance proceeds, severance, impairment loss, litigation expense, loss on extinguishment of debt, and other expense (income), net.

Non-GAAP diluted net income (loss) per share

Represents net loss per share excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets, non-recurring income taxes, non-cash interest, discontinued operations, stock-based compensation, contingent consideration, transaction costs, gain on insurance proceeds, severance, impairment loss, litigation expense, loss on extinguishment of debt, and other expense (income), net.

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.

Contingent consideration

Adjustment reflects a non-cash reduction to the fair market value of the contingent consideration liability related to the MENU Acquisition.

We exclude changes to the fair market value of our contingent consideration liability because management does not view these non-cash, non-recurring 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.

Table of Contents

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, including costs incurred in the acquisitions of Stuzo, TASK Group, and Delaget.

We exclude professional fees incurred in corporate development and integration 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.

Gain on insurance proceeds

Adjustment reflects the gain on insurance proceeds due to the settlement of legacy claims.

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.

Severance

Adjustment reflects severance tied to non-recurring restructuring events included in cost of sales, sales and marketing expense, general and administrative expense, and research and development expense.

Litigation expense

Adjustment reflects non-recurring legal fees incurred in connection with certain litigation matters and the release of a loss contingency and settlement expenses for certain legal matters.

Loss on extinguishment of debt

Adjustment reflects loss on extinguishment of debt related to the conversion of the 2024 Notes and a portion of the 2026 Notes, and related to the early repayment of the Credit Facility.

Discontinued operations

Adjustment reflects income from discontinued operations related to the divestiture of our Government segment.

Impairment loss

Adjustment reflects impairment loss related to the discontinuance of the Brink POS trademark and the write-off of capitalized software development costs related to the PAR Clear product.

Other expense (income), net

Adjustment reflects foreign currency transaction gains and losses and other non-recurring income and expenses recorded in other (expense) income, net in the accompanying statements of operations.

Non-recurring income taxes

Adjustment reflects a partial release of our deferred tax asset valuation allowance resulting from the Stuzo Acquisition and Delaget Acquisition.

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.

Non-cash interest

Adjustment reflects non-cash amortization of issuance costs and discount related to the Company's long-term debt.

Acquired intangible assets amortization

Adjustment reflects amortization expense of acquired developed technology included within cost of sales and amortization expense of other acquired intangible assets.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $79.6 million. Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with maturities of 90 days or less, including money market funds.

Cash used in operating activities was $27.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $25.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in cash used in operating activities of $1.9 million was due to additional net working capital requirements substantially driven by an increase in accounts receivable resulting from revenue growth.

Cash used in investing activities was $13.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $180.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. Cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 included $4.3 million of cash consideration paid in connection with the GoSkip Asset Acquisition, capital expenditures of $3.3 million for fixed assets, and capital expenditures of $5.6 million for developed technology costs associated with our software platforms. The greater amount of cash used in investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2024 was largely driven by $309.4 million of cash consideration paid in connection with the Stuzo Acquisition, the TASK Group Acquisition, and the Delaget Acquisition (net of cash acquired), partially offset by $96.1 million of cash consideration received in connection with the disposition of PGSC and RRC and $36.7 million of proceeds from net sales of short-term held-to-maturity investments.

Cash provided by financing activities was $12.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $278.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. Cash provided by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2025 primarily consisted of the net proceeds from the sale of the 2030 Notes of $111.1 million (net of issuance costs), partially offset by the repayment in full of $93.6 million principal amount outstanding under the Credit Facility plus accrued interest and prepayment premium. Cash provided by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2024 primarily consisted of a private placement of common stock of $194.5 million (net of issuance costs) and $87.3 million (net of issuance costs) from the Credit Facility. We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements or obligations.

We expect our available cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet our operating needs for at least the next 12 months. Over the next 12 months our total contractual obligations are $77.2 million, consisting of purchase commitments for normal operations (purchase of inventory, software licensing, use of external labor, and third-party cloud services) of $48.6 million, interest payments of $6.1 million and principal payments of $20.0 million related to long-term debt, and facility lease obligations of $2.4 million. We expect to fund such commitments with cash provided by operating activities and our sources of liquidity.

Our non-current contractual obligations are $413.1 million, consisting of purchase commitments for normal operations (purchase of inventory, software licensing, use of external labor, and third-party cloud services) of $16.7 million, interest payments of $9.1 million and principal payments of $380.0 million related to long-term debt, and facility leases of $7.4 million. Refer to "Note 5 – Leases" and “Note 10 – Debt” of the notes to consolidated financial statements in "Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of this Annual Report for additional information. We expect to fund such commitments with cash provided by operating activities, our sources of liquidity, and if necessary, equity, equity-linked, or debt financing arrangements.

After period end, the Company acquired approximately $17.1 million aggregate principal amount of its remaining outstanding 2026 Notes (the "Additional Exchanged Notes") in exchange for 485,186 shares of the Company's common stock, plus approximately $134,000 in cash for accrued and unpaid interest on the Additional Exchanged Notes to, but excluding, the closing date (the "Additional Notes Exchange"). Following the Additional Notes Exchange, an aggregate of approximately $2.9 million principal amount of the 2026 Notes remained outstanding. Refer to "Note 17 – Subsequent Events" of the notes to consolidated financial statements in "Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of this Annual Report for additional information.

Our actual cash needs will depend on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth, growth of our SaaS revenues, the timing and extent of spending to support our product development and acquisition integration efforts, the timing of introductions of new products and enhancements to existing products, market acceptance of our products, and the factors described above in Part II, Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in this Annual Report and our other filings with the SEC.

From time to time, we may seek to raise additional capital through equity, equity-linked, and debt financing arrangements. In addition, our board of directors and management regularly evaluate our business, strategy, and financial plans and prospects. As part of this evaluation, the board of directors and management periodically consider strategic alternatives to maximize value for our shareholders, including strategic transactions such as an acquisition, or a sale or spin-off of non-strategic company assets or businesses. We cannot provide assurance that any additional financing or strategic alternatives will be available to us on acceptable terms or at all.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which requires the use of estimates, assumptions, judgments, and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and related disclosures. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently applied. Valuations based on estimates are reviewed for reasonableness and adequacy on a consistent basis. However, because these estimates are inherently uncertain, actual results could differ. Our estimates are also subject to uncertainties, including those associated with market conditions, risks, and trends. Refer to "Item 1A. Risk Factors" of this Annual Report for additional information. The accounting policies and estimates summarized below are those that we consider critical, due to the significant judgments and assumptions involved and their potential impact on our financial condition and results of operations. Refer to “Note 1 – Summary of Business and Significant Accounting Policies” of the notes to consolidated financial statements in "Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of this Annual Report for additional information regarding our accounting policies and other disclosures required by GAAP.

Revenue Recognition

The Company's revenue is derived from three types of revenue: hardware sales, subscription services, and professional services, which may be sold separately or bundled together in a single contract. ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, requires the Company to distinguish and measure performance obligations under customer contracts. Contract consideration is allocated to all performance obligations within the arrangement or contract. Assessing whether products and services constitute distinct performance obligations that should be recognized separately or combined may require judgment. Performance obligations that are determined not to be distinct are combined with other performance obligations until the combined unit is determined to be distinct and that combined unit is then recognized as revenue over time or at a point in time depending on when control is transferred. The Company evaluated the potential performance obligations and evaluated whether each performance obligation met the ASC Topic 606 criteria to be considered a distinct performance obligation.

The primary method used to estimate a stand-alone selling price is the price that the Company charges for the particular good or service sold by the Company separately under similar circumstances to similar customers. Assessing the stand-alone selling price for each distinct performance obligation may involve significant judgment. Key pricing factors taken into consideration include our discounting policies, transaction size and volume, target customer demographic, price lists, as well as both historical and current sales and contract prices.

For certain arrangements, particularly those involving managed platform development services and transaction-based payment processing, we must determine whether we are acting as a principal or an agent. This assessment is based on our level of control over the services before they are transferred to the customer, our pricing discretion, and our responsibility for fulfillment. Where we conclude that we are the principal, we recognize revenue on a gross basis; otherwise, revenue is recorded net of certain pass-through costs.

Accounts Receivable – Current Expected Credit Losses

The Company maintains a provision for accounts receivables that it does not expect to collect. In accordance with ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, the Company accrues its estimated losses from uncollectible accounts receivable to the provision based upon recent historical experience, the length of time the receivable has been outstanding, other specific information as it becomes available, and reasonable and supportable forecasts not already reflected in the historical loss information. Provisions for current expected credit losses are charged to current operating expenses. Actual losses are charged against the provision when incurred.

Inventories

The Company’s inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value, with cost determined using the weighted average cost method. The Company uses certain estimates and judgments and considers several factors including hardware demand, changes in customer requirements, and changes in technology to provide for excess and obsolescence reserves to properly value inventory.

Capitalized Software Development Costs

We capitalize certain costs related to the development of our platform and other software applications for internal use in accordance with ASC Topic 350-40, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal - Use Software. We begin to capitalize our costs to develop software when preliminary development efforts are successfully completed, management has authorized and committed project funding, and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used as intended. We stop capitalizing these costs when the software is substantially complete and ready for its intended use, including the completion of all significant testing. These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the related asset, generally estimated to be three to seven years. We also capitalize costs related to specific upgrades and enhancements when it is probable the expenditure will result in additional functionality and expense costs incurred for maintenance and minor upgrades and enhancements. Costs incurred prior to meeting these criteria together with costs incurred for training and maintenance are expensed as incurred and recorded within research and development expenses in our consolidated statements of operations.

We exercise judgment in determining the point at which various projects may be capitalized, in assessing the ongoing value of the capitalized costs and in determining the estimated useful lives over which the costs are amortized. To the extent that we change the manner in which we develop and test new features and functionalities related to our platform, assess the ongoing value of capitalized assets or determine the estimated useful lives over which the costs are amortized, the amount of internal-use software development costs we capitalize and amortize could change in future periods.

Accounting for Business Combinations

We account for acquired businesses in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, which requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at their respective fair values on the date of acquisition. The fair value of the consideration paid is assigned to the underlying net assets of the acquired business based on their respective fair values. Any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired is recorded to goodwill. Intangible assets are amortized over the expected life of the asset. Fair value determinations and useful life estimates are based on, among other factors, estimates of expected future cash flows from revenues of the intangible assets acquired, estimates of appropriate discount rates used to present value expected future cash flows, estimated useful lives of the intangible assets acquired and other factors. Although we believe the assumptions and estimates we have made have been reasonable and appropriate, they are based, in part, on historical experience, information obtained from the management of the acquired companies, and future expectations. For these and other reasons, actual results may vary significantly from estimated results.

Discontinued Operations

In determining whether a group of assets disposed of (or is to be disposed of) should be presented as a discontinued operation, the Company analyzes whether the group of assets disposed of represented a component of the entity; that is, whether it had historic operations and cash flows that were discrete both operationally and for financial reporting purposes. In addition, the Company considers whether the disposal represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results.

The assets and liabilities of a discontinued operation, other than goodwill, are measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less cost to sell. When a portion of a reporting unit that constitutes a business is to be disposed of, the goodwill associated with that business is included in the carrying amount of the business based on the relative fair values of the business to be disposed of and the portion of the reporting unit that will be retained. Interest is allocated to discontinued operations if the interest is directly attributable to the discontinued operations or is interest on debt that is required to be repaid as a result of the disposal.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company records stock-based compensation for employee stock options, restricted stock awards, and restricted stock units using a straight-line method over the vesting period, based on the fair value at the grant date. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model, which incorporates assumptions as to the fair value of stock price, volatility, the expected life of options or awards, a risk-free interest rate, and dividend yield. In valuing stock options, significant judgment is required in determining the expected volatility of the Company's common stock and the expected life that individuals will hold their stock options prior to exercising. Expected volatility is based on the historical and implied volatility of the Company's common stock. The expected life of stock options is derived from the historical actual term of stock option grants and an estimate of future exercises during the remaining contractual period of the stock option. While volatility and estimated life are assumptions that do not bear the risk of change subsequent to the grant date of stock options, these assumptions may be difficult to measure, as they represent future expectations based on historical experience. Further, expected volatility and the expected life of stock options may change in the future, which could substantially change the grant-date fair value of future awards and, ultimately, the expense the Company records.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates the accounting and reporting for the impairment of long-lived assets in accordance with the reporting requirements of ASC Topic 360-10, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. The Company will recognize impairment of long-lived assets or asset groups if the net book value of such assets exceeds the estimated future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets. If the carrying value of a long-lived asset or asset group is considered impaired, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived asset or asset group for assets to be held and used, or the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair market value less cost to sell for assets to be sold.

Goodwill

Fair values of the reporting unit are estimated using a weighted methodology considering the output from both the income and market approaches. The income approach incorporates the use of a discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis. A number of significant assumptions and estimates are involved in the application of the DCF model to forecast operating cash flows, including revenue growth, operating income margin and discount rate. The market approach incorporates the use of the quoted price and public company methods utilizing public market data for our company and comparable companies.

Under GAAP, the Company has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, the Company determines it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, there is no need to perform any further testing. However, if the Company concludes otherwise, then it is required to perform a quantitative impairment test by calculating the fair value of the reporting unit and comparing the fair value with the carrying amount of the reporting unit. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an impairment loss is recorded based on that difference.
