million, respectively, related to construction expenditures for a
new office building for one of Tyler’s business units.
- EBITDA, or earnings before

which $120,000 was included in cost of revenues and $1.0 million
was included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
- Total backlog was $218.8 million
at March 31, 2010, compared to $234.2 million at March 31, 2009.
Software-related backlog (excluding appraisal services) was $195.9
million at March 31, 2010 versus $209.4 million at March 31,
2009.
- Tyler ended the first quarter of
2010 with $11.2 million in cash and investments, no outstanding
borrowings and $21.7 million of availability under its $25.0
million revolving line of credit. During the quarter, the Company
repurchased 129,000 shares of its common stock at an aggregate
purchase price of $2.4 million and used $9.6 million in cash for an
acquisition during the quarter.
“We continue to experience extended sales cycles in our public
sector markets due to the economic environment, resulting in
weakness in our software license and software services revenues,”
said John S. Marr, Jr., Tyler’s President and Chief Executive
Officer. “However, our results for the quarter reflect the
underlying strength of our business model, with a significant base
of recurring revenues that enables us to perform reasonably well
even in a difficult market for new business. Total software-related
revenues increased approximately 2 percent from the same period
last year, driven by strong growth in our recurring subscription
and maintenance revenues.
“Tyler posted improvement in gross profit margins across all of
our revenue categories, although the revenue mix this quarter
included less licenses resulting in a slight year-over-year
decrease in our blended gross margin. Tyler’s operating profit and
net income for the quarter reflect our commitment to continued
robust investment in our current and future software products as
evidenced by a 57 percent increase in research and development
expenditures,” said Mr. Marr. “In an economic climate where many
technology companies are cutting back on research and development,
we believe our investments in current and future products are
creating competitive strengths that will drive long-term revenue
growth and increase shareholder value.
“While there continues to be a reasonable, although not robust,
flow of new requests for proposals across all of our product
groups, buying processes in many cases are slower and more complex
than in a normal environment. Based on our backlog and our current
view of the sales pipeline, we continue to expect significantly
stronger results in the second half of the year, although the
timing of new business remains difficult to predict in this
market,” Mr. Marr said.
Annual Guidance for
2010
Total revenues for 2010 are currently expected to be in the
range of $300.0 million to $307.0 million. Tyler expects to have
diluted earnings per share of approximately $0.72 to $0.77. These
estimates include assumed non-cash pretax expense for the year of
approximately $5.6 million, or $0.12 per share after taxes, related
to stock options and the Company’s stock purchase plan. The Company
currently estimates that its effective income tax rate for 2010
will be approximately 39.8 percent.
Tyler expects that free cash flow for the year 2010 will be
between $37.0 million and $42.5 million (cash provided by
operations of $43.0 million to $48.0 million minus capital
expenditures of between $5.5 million and $6.0 million). Excluding
estimated real estate capital expenditures of approximately $2.0
million, free cash flow for 2010 is expected to be between $39.0
million and $44.5 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 Tyler’s 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) economic,
political and market conditions, including the recent global
economic and financial crisis, and the general tightening of access
to debt or equity capital; (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) changes in the budgets or
regulatory environments of our customers, primarily local and state
governments, that could negatively impact information technology
spending; (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.
