Tyler Technologies Reports Earnings
For Fourth Quarter 2010
For Fourth Quarter 2010
DALLAS February 23, 2011 Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) today announced
financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2010. Tyler reported total revenue of $72.4
million and net income of $7.2 million, or $0.21 per diluted share. In the same quarter last year,
the Company had revenue of $74.2 million and net income of $6.7 million, or $0.18 per diluted
share. Gross margin increased 20 basis points to 45.0 percent compared to 44.8 percent in the
year-ago quarter.
Recurring software revenue from maintenance and subscriptions was $40.5 million in the fourth
quarter of 2010, an increase of 9.8 percent compared to the fourth quarter of 2009, and comprised
55.9 percent of the quarters total revenue.
Free cash flow for the quarter was $7.4 million (cash provided by operating activities of $8.1
million minus capital expenditures of $733,000), compared to $8.0 million (cash provided by
operating activities of $11.7 million minus capital expenditures of $3.7 million) in the fourth
quarter of last year. EBITDA, or earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and
amortization, totaled $13.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, compared to $13.4 million in the
prior-year quarter.
Total backlog was $281.4 million at December 31, 2010, compared to $253.8 million at September 30,
2010 and $233.1 million at December 31, 2009. Software-related backlog (excluding appraisal
services) was $248.2 million compared to $209.7 million at December 31, 2009.
Tyler ended the fourth quarter of 2010 with $4.3 million in cash and investments and $115.2 million
of availability under its $150.0 million revolving line of credit. During the fourth quarter, Tyler
repurchased approximately 209,000 shares of its common stock at an average price of $20.30 per
share. For the year ending December 31, 2010, Tyler repurchased approximately 3.6 million shares of
its common stock at an average price of $18.49 per share. As of December 31, 2010, Tyler is
authorized to repurchase up to 2.7 million additional shares.
Considering the broader economic conditions and challenging market environment, Tyler had a
reasonably solid fourth quarter, said John Marr Jr., Tylers president and chief executive
officer. We have experienced several quarters of softness in the new-business market, with longer
sales and implementation cycles and less predictable timetables for purchasing decisions. As a
result, software license and software services revenues declined from 2009 levels in each quarter
of 2010. However, these declines have been largely offset by strong year-over-year growth in
recurring revenues from subscriptions, which rose 35.6 percent, and maintenance which grew almost
9 percent.
We signed a number of large contracts in the fourth quarter, including our largest software as a
service (SaaS) contract to date. A number of these deals had been in the new business pipeline for
an extended time, highlighting the inconsistent and unpredictable timing of new bookings that
we continue to experience from quarter to quarter. Tyler finished the year with record total
backlog of signed contracts, which increased nearly 21 percent from the end of 2009. Because of the
growth in our subscription-based offerings, as well as a higher proportion of contracts being
accounted for under percentage-of-completion accounting, a larger percentage of our 2010 year-end
backlog is expected to be recognized beyond one year from now.

We begin 2011 with confidence in the long-term business prospects for Tyler, said Mr. Marr. As
we did throughout 2010, we invested aggressively in product development during the fourth quarter,
with an 11.8 percent increase in net research-and-development expense. We believe that our
competitive position is stronger than ever and that we are well-positioned to take advantage of an
eventual return to a stronger economic environment. However, until we see signs of sustained
improvement, we expect that the new-business environment in 2011 will continue to be both
challenging and unpredictable, and that growth will again come primarily from recurring revenues.
Annual Guidance for 2011
Total revenues for 2011 are currently expected to be in the range of $306 million to $312 million.
Tyler expects that diluted earnings per share will be approximately $0.74 to $0.79. These estimates
include assumed pretax non-cash stock-based compensation expense of approximately $6.5 million, or
$0.15 per share after taxes. The Company currently estimates that its effective tax rate for 2011
will be approximately 38.3 percent. Tyler expects that capital expenditures for the year will be
between $5.0 million and $5.5 million and that depreciation and amortization expense will be
between $10.5 million and $11.0 million.

Non-GAAP Measures
This press release discloses the financial measures of EBITDA and free cash flow. These financial
measures are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and
are therefore considered non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP measures should be considered in
addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, operating income, cash flows, or other
measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP measures used by
Tyler Technologies may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. We believe the
presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to users of our
financial statements and is helpful to fully understand our past financial performance and
prospects for the future. We believe EBITDA and free cash flow are widely used by investors,
analysts, and other users of our financial statements to analyze operating performance, provide
meaningful comparisons to prior periods and to compare our results to those of other companies, and
they provide a more complete understanding of our underlying operational results and trends, as
well as our marketplace performance and our ability to

generate cash. In addition, we internally monitor and review these non-GAAP financial measures on a
consolidated basis as some of the primary indicators management uses to evaluate Company
performance and for planning and forecasting future periods. Therefore, management believes that
EBITDA and free cash flow provide meaningful supplemental information to the investor to fully
assess the financial performance, trends and future prospects of Tylers core operations.
This document contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are not
historical in nature and typically address future or anticipated events, trends, expectations or
beliefs with respect to our financial condition, results of operations or business. Forward-looking
statements often contain words such as believes, expects, anticipates, foresees,
forecasts, estimates, plans, intends, continues, may, will, should, projects,
might, could or other similar words or phrases. Similarly, statements that describe our
business strategy, outlook, objectives, plans, intentions or goals also are forward-looking
statements. We believe there is a reasonable basis for our forward-looking statements, but they are
inherently subject to risks and uncertainties and actual results could differ materially from the
expectations and beliefs reflected in the forward-looking statements. We presently consider the
following to be among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially
from our expectations and beliefs: (1) changes in the budgets or regulatory environments of our
customers, primarily local and state governments, that could negatively impact information
technology spending; (2) our ability to achieve our financial forecasts due to various factors,
including project delays by our customers, reductions in transaction size, fewer transactions,
delays in delivery of new products or releases or a decline in our renewal rates for service
agreements; (3) economic, political and market conditions, including the recent global economic and
financial crisis, and the general tightening of access to debt or equity capital; (4) technological
and market risks associated with the development of new products or services or of new versions of
existing or acquired products or services; (5) our ability to successfully complete acquisitions
and achieve growth or operational synergies through the integration of acquired businesses, while
avoiding unanticipated costs and disruptions to existing operations; (6) competition in the
industry in which we conduct business and the impact of competition on pricing, customer retention
and pressure for new products or services; (7) the ability to attract and retain qualified
personnel and dealing with the loss or retirement of key members of management or other key
personnel; and (8) costs of compliance and any failure to comply with government and stock exchange
regulations. A detailed discussion of these factors and other risks that affect our business are
described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the detailed Risk
Factors contained in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K. We expressly disclaim any
obligation to publicly update or revise our forward-looking statements.
