## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). PAR Technology Corporation reported negative earnings over the last twelve months, so the P/E is not meaningful; use price-to-sales, EV/EBITDA and free-cash-flow yield instead.
- **Price / sales: 1.6×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 1.6×.
- **Price / book: 1.0×**. The shares trade at 1.0× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -1.9%** (5-yr avg -3.1%). Free cash flow is negative: the business is consuming cash, which is normal for heavy investment phases but a warning otherwise.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 42.2%**. PAR Technology Corporation keeps 42.2% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells.
- **Operating margin: -12.6%**. Operating margin is negative: the business loses money before interest and tax.
- **Net margin: -18.5%**. The company reported a net loss over the last twelve months.
- **Return on equity: -10.2%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.
- **Return on invested capital: -4.3%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is -4.3%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: -5.3%**. Each dollar of assets produces -5.3% of profit.

## Growth

- **EPS growth (1 yr): -1392.9%**. Earnings per share fell 1392.9%, slower than revenue, so margins compressed.

- **Altman Z-score: 1.91**. A Z-score of 1.91 is in the grey zone; not distressed, not clearly safe.
