Q2 FY26 earnings call · Aug 6, 2026
Q2 FY26
TL;DR. PAR Technology posted Q2 revenue up 19% YoY to $133.4M and adjusted EBITDA of $14.3M (+158% YoY, sixth consecutive sequential quarterly improvement), driven by 12% organic ARR growth and continued multi-product platform wins. The company raised its full-year 2026 revenue outlook to $516–$523M and adjusted EBITDA outlook to $50–$53M, and reaffirmed its path to 50,000 PAR Intelligence live sites.
Bullish
- + Raised full-year 2026 revenue outlook to $516–$523M and adjusted EBITDA outlook to $50–$53M
- + Adjusted EBITDA of $14.3M, up $8.7M YoY (158% growth) and sixth consecutive quarter of sequential growth
- + Revenue grew 19% YoY to $133.4M with subscription service revenue up 16%
- + Non-GAAP OPEX improved ~1,000 bps YoY to 38% of revenue, reflecting operating leverage
- + PAR Intelligence scaled to ~20,000 live sites with another ~20,000 scheduled to go live in Q3, on track for the 50,000 full-year commitment
Bearish
- − Subscription service gross margin (non-GAAP) declined 130 bps YoY to 65.1%, partly tied to Bridge mix shift
- − GAAP net loss of $16.9M, including a $5.4M intangible asset impairment loss
- − Hardware margin compressed to 20% from 27% YoY amid tariff and supply chain pressures; expected to remain in the low-20s% range
