Factors to Consider

Tyler’s third-quarter top line is likely to have benefited from the demand for its subscription-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions as the public sector continued to transition from on-premise and outdated systems to scalable cloud-based systems. Our estimate for the company’s third-quarter Subscription segment revenues is pegged at $291.9 million, implying a year-over-year increase of 14.8%.

However, public sector entities’ continued shift to SaaS at an accelerated pace is likely to have negatively impacted Tyler’s Software Licenses and Royalties segment revenues. Our estimate suggests the segment’s revenues to decline 40.1% year over year to $12.1 million.

The completion of COVID-19 initiatives is likely to have hurt the Professional Services segment’s top line. Our estimate for Professional Services revenues stands at $65.2 million, indicating a year-over-year decline of 9.2%. Our estimate of $115.4 million for the Maintenance segment’s third-quarter revenues indicates a year-over-year decline of 1.7%.

Overall, our estimate for the company’s Total Subscriptions, Professional Services and Maintenance revenues, which include all the four abovementioned segments, is pegged at $472.5 million. This calls for a year-over-year increase of 6.5%.

In addition, Tyler’s closed acquisitions over the past 12 months are anticipated to have brought incremental revenues during the quarter under review. TYL bought three businesses in the last 12 months, namely Computing System Innovations or CSI, Safeground Analytics and Rapid Financial Solutions.

However, ongoing macroeconomic and geopolitical issues might have disrupted Tyler’s business during the period in discussion. Inflationary pressures might have led public sector entities to delay procurement processes and lengthen sales cycles, which could have hurt Tyler’s revenues in the quarter under review.

Additionally, the acceleration in the shift to the cloud in the new business and the related decline in license revenues are likely to have weighed on operating margins. Also, higher operating expenses are expected to have clipped TYL’s profitability during the quarter to be reported.
