“Tyler achieved very solid revenue and earnings growth for the third quarter, with greater than 20 percent growth in all of our software revenue lines,” said John S. Marr Jr., Tyler’s president and chief executive officer. “Total revenues grew 29 percent, with nearly 11 percent organic growth. Our cloud business continued to exhibit strength, increasing 27 percent over the prior year, of which 23 percent was organic. Third quarter cash provided by operations was $67 million, a new quarterly high. Year-to-date, we have generated over $121 million in cash from operations, exceeding the total for all of 2015.

“Bookings in the third quarter were the highest in company history at $266 million, up 43 percent over the prior year. Bookings include a four-year extension of our eFileTexas agreement with the Texas Office of Court Administration valued at approximately $72 million. Backlog also reached a new high of $936 million. In addition, we are pleased with our progress on the integration of New World Systems, as well as New World’s revenue and earnings contributions that continue to meet or exceed our expectations set at the beginning of the year,” said Marr.

Guidance for 2016

As of October 26, 2016, Tyler Technologies is providing the following guidance for the full year 2016:

 

    GAAP total revenues are expected to be in the range of $755 million to $762 million.

 

    Non-GAAP total revenues are expected to be in the range of $770 million to $777 million.

 

    GAAP diluted earnings per share are expected to be approximately $2.01 to $2.07.

 

    Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share are expected to be approximately $3.46 to $3.52.

 

    Pretax non-cash, share-based compensation expense is expected to be approximately $29.5 million to $30.5 million.

 

    Fully diluted shares for the year are expected to be between 38.5 million and 39.0 million shares.

 

    The GAAP effective tax rate is expected to be in the range of 38.0 percent to 39.0 percent. The non-GAAP effective tax rate is expected to be in the range of 35.5 percent to 36.5 percent. With the issuance of ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718)” on March 31, 2016, which will require us to recognize the income tax effects of stock option exercises in the income statement, both our GAAP and non-GAAP effective tax rates could differ substantially from this guidance. While we will adopt this standard in the fourth quarter of 2016, we are currently unable to provide a reasonable estimate regarding the financial impact.

 

    Capital expenditures are expected to be between $40 million and $42 million, including approximately $21 million related to real estate. Total depreciation and amortization expense is expected to be between $50 million and $51 million, including approximately $36 million of amortization of acquisition intangibles.

Executive Transitions and Promotions

Effective January 1, 2017, John S. Marr Jr. will become chairman of the board of directors, with John Yeaman continuing his service as a director until his retirement in May 2017. In addition, Donald R. Brattain will become lead director. Marr will retain his title as chief executive officer and is appointing H. Lynn Moore Jr. as president, formalizing the strategic and consultative role that Moore has played for several years.

Moore has been in a senior leadership role with the company since 1998 and has served as executive vice president and general counsel since 2008. He has played a significant role in major strategic initiatives, including last year’s acquisition of New World Systems Corporation. “Tyler’s direction reflects the fundamentals Lynn and I share,” said Marr. “The way he looks at Tyler’s future and the way I do are very similar. This move enables us to continue and expand our focus on strategy and innovative development while our strong division leadership continues to focus on efficient performance and outstanding execution of our business operations.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Tyler Technologies has provided in this press release financial measures that have not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and are therefore considered non-GAAP financial measures. This information includes non-GAAP revenues, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP earnings per diluted share, EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA. We use these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing our financial results and believe they are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating Tyler’s ongoing operational performance because they provide additional insight in comparing results from period to period. Tyler believes the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial results with other companies in our industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures discussed above exclude write-downs of acquisition-related deferred revenue and acquired leases, share-based compensation expense, employer portion of payroll taxes on employee stock transactions, acquisition-related costs, and expenses associated with amortization of intangibles arising from business combinations.

Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP measures used by Tyler Technologies may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, which has been provided in the financial statement tables included below in this press release.

Forward-looking Statements

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 clients, primarily local and state governments, that could negatively impact information technology spending; (2) our ability to protect client information from security breaches and provide uninterrupted operations of data centers; (3) our ability to achieve growth or operational synergies through the integration of acquired businesses, while avoiding unanticipated costs and disruptions to existing operations; (4) material portions of our business require the Internet infrastructure to be adequately maintained; (5) our ability to achieve our financial forecasts due to various factors, including project delays by our clients, reductions in transaction size, fewer transactions, delays in delivery of new products or releases or a decline in our renewal rates for service agreements; (6) general economic, political and market conditions; (7) technological and market risks associated with the development of new products or services or of new versions of existing or acquired products or services; (8) competition in the industry in which we conduct business and the impact of competition on pricing, client retention and pressure for new products or services; (9) 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 (10) 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.
