PAR Technology reported a GAAP net loss from continuing operations of $21 million in Q4 2025, an improvement year-over-year. The company achieved its third straight quarter of non-GAAP profitability with net income of $2.6 million and adjusted EBITDA of $7 million, while operating cash usage rose to $27 million driven by elevated accounts receivable.
2. AI Product Rollout
The company is heavily investing in AI, launching Coach AI, which is now active in nearly 1,000 stores to boost operational efficiency and customer engagement.

3. 2026 Outlook and Guidance
Subscription revenue is projected to grow in the mid-teens annually, with a slower first half followed by stronger second-half performance as booked deals ramp. Hardware margins are expected to remain under pressure from supply chain constraints and US tariff costs, while AI and subscription offerings should drive future margin improvements.
