- Net income was $53.9 million, or $1.30 per diluted share, up
68.4% compared to $32.0 million, or $0.80 per diluted share, for
the second quarter of 2019. Non-GAAP net income was $57.1 million,
or $1.38 per diluted share, up 10.2% compared to $51.8 million, or
$1.30 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2019.
- Cash flows from operations were $39.8 million, up 62.5%
compared to $24.5 million for the second quarter of 2019.
- Adjusted EBITDA was $80.7 million, up 8.2% compared to $74.6
million for the second quarter of 2019.
- Software subscription arrangements comprised approximately 43%
of the total new software contract value in the second quarter,
compared to approximately 80% in the second quarter of 2019.
- Total bookings were $309 million, down 31.6% compared to the
second quarter of 2019. Subscription bookings in the second quarter
added $9.2 million in annual recurring revenue.
- Total backlog was $1.54 billion, up 7.4% from $1.43 billion at
June 30, 2019. Software-related backlog (excluding appraisal
services) was $1.51 billion, up 8.0% from $1.40 billion at June 30,
2019.
“We are very pleased with our execution during the second
quarter in light of the extraordinary impact of the COVID-19
pandemic, with earnings that exceeded our expectations and
extremely strong cash flow,” said Lynn Moore, Tyler’s president and
chief executive officer. “Total revenues were approximately $35
million below our pre-COVID plan. As expected, recurring revenue
growth remained strong, and subscription revenues grew 16.6%.
However, some procurement processes encountered delays as clients
focused on addressing COVID-19, which resulted in several decisions
being pushed out of the quarter, affecting license revenue. In
addition, professional services revenues declined as a result of
delays in projects and the near-elimination of billable travel
revenue. The cancellation of our Connect user conference also
impacted revenues by more than $6 million.
"Our operating expenses in the quarter were also well below
plan, with significant savings in commissions, travel, marketing,
health claims and other employee-related costs. As a result, our
non-GAAP operating margin expanded 290 basis points to 27.5%. Cash
flow was very robust in the quarter, and we ended the quarter with
$473 million in cash and investments. Cash flows from operations
grew 62.5%, and free cash flow rose 226%. With our strong financial
position, we continued to invest in strategic initiatives at a high
level, resulting in a 9.2% increase in research and development
expense for the quarter.
"As expected, bookings declined in the face of a difficult
comparison to last year's second quarter, when we signed two very
large SaaS deals, including an $85 million contract that was the
largest in the company's history," added Moore. "Although we have
not experienced meaningful cancellations, we continue to see longer
sales cycles as a result of COVID-19. Nonetheless, our backlog at
quarter-end rose 7.4% over last year to reach a new all-time
high.
"I couldn't be prouder of how our team of 5,500 professionals
are supporting each other, delivering exceptional client service
and displaying the spirit of innovation that has long been a
hallmark of Tyler's success. We're delivering solutions that help
our clients cope with current challenges, from providing critical
information regarding the pandemic to government leaders and
citizens to enabling courts to conduct virtual hearings. While we
remain confident in our long-term outlook, it is clear that the
COVID-19 pandemic will continue to have a significant effect on our
business in the second half of 2020, and that is reflected in our
reinstituted annual guidance for 2020," concluded Moore.
Guidance for 2020
As of June 30, 2020, Tyler Technologies is providing the
following guidance for the full year 2020:
- GAAP total revenues are expected to be in the range of $1.124
billion to $1.144 billion. Non-GAAP total revenues are expected to
be in the range of $1.125 billion and $1.145 billion.
- GAAP diluted earnings per share are expected to be in the range
of $4.71 to $4.91 and may vary significantly due to the impact of
stock incentive awards on the GAAP effective tax rate, as well as
final valuation of acquired intangibles.
- Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share are expected to be in the
range of $5.30 to $5.50.
- Pre-tax non-cash, share-based compensation expense is expected
to be approximately $79 million.
- Research and development expense is expected to be in the range
of $90 million to $92 million.
- Fully diluted shares for the year are expected to be in the
range of 41.5 million to 42.0 million shares.
- GAAP earnings per share assumes an estimated annual effective
tax rate of approximately negative 23% after discrete tax items and
includes approximately $82 million of discrete tax benefits related
to share-based compensation.
- The non-GAAP annual effective tax rate is expected to be
24%.
- Capital expenditures are expected to be in the range of $34
million to $35 million, including approximately $10 million related
to real estate and approximately $6 million of capitalized software
development costs. Total depreciation and amortization expense is
expected to be approximately $81 million, including approximately
$54 million from amortization of acquisition intangibles.
GAAP to non-GAAP guidance
reconciliation
Non-GAAP total revenues is derived from adding back the
estimated full year impact of write-downs of acquisition-related
deferred revenue and amortization of acquired leases of
approximately $1 million. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share
excludes the full year impact of non-cash share-based compensation
expense and employer portion of payroll tax related to employee
stock transactions of approximately $79 million, and amortization
of acquired software and intangible assets of approximately $54
million. Additionally, the non-GAAP tax rate of 24% is estimated
periodically as described below under "Non-GAAP Financial Measures"
and excludes approximately $82 million of estimated discrete tax
benefits that are included in the GAAP estimated annual effective
tax rate.

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
subleases, share-based compensation expense, employer portion of
payroll taxes on employee stock transactions, expenses associated
with amortization of intangibles arising from business
combinations, acquisition-related expenses, and incremental costs
associated with COVID-19.
Tyler currently uses a non-GAAP tax rate of 24%. This rate is
based on Tyler's estimated annual GAAP income tax rate forecast,
adjusted to account for items excluded from GAAP income in
calculating Tyler's non-GAAP income, as well as significant
non-recurring tax adjustments. The non-GAAP tax rate used in future
periods will be reviewed periodically to determine whether it
remains appropriate in consideration of factors including Tyler's
periodic effective tax rate calculated in accordance with GAAP,
changes resulting from tax legislation, changes in the geographic
mix of revenues and expenses, and other factors deemed significant.
Due to differences in tax treatment of items excluded from non-GAAP
earnings, as well as the methodology applied to Tyler's estimated
annual tax rate as described above, the estimated tax rate on
non-GAAP income may differ from the GAAP tax rate and from Tyler's
actual tax liabilities.
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) the effects of
the COVID-19 pandemic, including its potential effects on the
economic environment, our customers and our operations, as well as
any changes to federal, state or local government laws, regulations
or orders in connection with the pandemic; (2) changes in the
budgets or regulatory environments of our clients, primarily local
and state governments, that could negatively impact information
technology spending; (3) our ability to protect client information
from security breaches and provide uninterrupted operations of data
centers; (4) our ability to achieve growth or operational synergies
through the integration of acquired businesses, while avoiding
unanticipated costs and disruptions to existing operations; (5)
material portions of our business require the Internet
infrastructure to be adequately maintained; (6) 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; (7)
general economic, political and market conditions; (8)
technological and market risks associated with the development of
new products or services or of new versions of existing or acquired
products or services; (9) 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; (10) 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 (11) costs of compliance and any failure to comply
with government and stock exchange regulations. 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.
