Factors at Play

Tyler’s third-quarter performance is likely to have been benefited from big-value deals in public safety space. In addition, the company’s recently-closed acquisitions are anticipated to have brought in incremental revenues during the quarter under review.

Most recently, in September, it completed the acquisition of VendEngine for $84 million in cash. VendEngine is a privately-held company that focuses on providing cloud-based software to be used in correctional facilities. In the same month, it acquired Arx, a cloud-based software platform provider for the modern-day police force.

This April, Tyler completed the proposed acquisition of NIC Inc. to bank on the pandemic-induced shift to online services and electronic payments by governments. This buyout will likely be accretive to Tyler’s non-GAAP earnings, EBITDA, recurring revenue mix and free cash flow per share in 2021.

In the same month, Tyler purchased the cloud-based school scheduling platform, ReadySub, to expand and strengthen its school portfolio. In late March, the company announced the acquisition of DataSpec, a veterans’ claim management software firm, for an undisclosed amount. Apart from enhancing the client base, these acquisitions are anticipated to have created opportunities of cross selling for Tyler, thereby boosting its revenues during the third quarter.

However, the pandemic-induced economic and business disruptions are expected to have continued hurting the company’s top line during the period in discussion.

Delays in procurement processes and lengthening sales cycles, as the public sector entities are now more focused on the pandemic-related issues, might have hurt its revenues in the quarter under review.

Apart from this, higher employee healthcare expenses are expected to have clipped Tyler’s operating margins during the quarter to be reported.
