Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(Tables in thousands, except per share data)

(1) Basis of Presentation
We prepared the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements following the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by GAAP can be condensed or omitted for interim periods. Balance sheet amounts are as of March 31, 2019,2020, and December 31, 2018,2019, and operating result amounts are for the three months ended March 31, 2019,2020, and 2018,2019, respectively, and include all normal and recurring adjustments that we considered necessary for the fair summarized presentation of our financial position and operating results. As these are condensed financial statements, one should also read the financial statements and notes included in our latest Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019. Revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities can vary during each quarter of the year. Therefore, the results and trends in these interim financial statements may not be the same as those for the full year. Certain amounts for the previous year have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions, and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources and includes all components of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss). We had no items of other comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 20192020, and 2018.2019.
(2) Accounting Standards and Significant Accounting Policies
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Except for the accounting policies for leases recognition that were adjusted as a result of adopting ASU No. 2016-02,2016-13, Leases ("Topic 842"Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, (“ASU 2016-13”), there have been no changes to our significant accounting policies described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018,2019, filed with the SEC on February 20, 2019,19, 2020, that have had a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.
Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID -19 a pandemic, which continues to spread throughout the U.S. and the world and has resulted in authorities implementing numerous measures to contain the virus, including travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders, and business limitations and shutdowns. While we are unable to accurately predict the full impact that COVID-19 will have on our results from operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows due to numerous uncertainties, including the duration and severity of the pandemic and containment measures and associated compliance, we do expect the current environment will negatively impact our revenues and other financial results for fiscal 2020. However, for the first quarter of 2020, we did not experience a material negative impact on our financial results associated with the pandemic.
Because an increasing portion of our revenues are recurring, the effect of COVID-19 on our results of operations may also not be fully reflected for some time. We expect to see some impact on our business in the near term, with possible delays in government procurement processes and delays in implementations caused by travel restrictions, closed offices, or clients shifting focus to more pressing issues. We are working to address those challenges through adapting the way we do business – encouraging web and video conferencing, conducting sales demonstrations and delivering professional services remotely.
Our priorities during this crisis are protecting the health and safety of our employees and our clients. Our IT systems and applications support a remote workforce. Prior to the pandemic, many of our employees worked remotely. In response to the pandemic, we encouraged all employees who are able to do so to work from home, equipping them with resources necessary to continue uninterrupted. We were able to transition the vast majority of our employees to this work-from-home posture. This reduces the number of team members in our offices to those uniquely needed for essential on-site services, such as network operations support staff, and allows for “social distancing” as directed by the Centers for Disease Control ("CDC").
The pandemic has delayed some government procurement processes and is expected to impact our ability to complete certain implementations, negatively impacting our revenue. It could also negatively impact the timing of client payments to us.We continue to monitor these trends in order to respond to the ever-changing impact of COVID-19 on our clients and Tyler’s operations.

Recurring revenues, from subscriptions and maintenance revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2020, comprise 71% of our total consolidated revenue, and include newer transaction-based revenue streams such as e-filing and online payments. As of March 31, 2020, we had $392.6 million in cash and investments and 0 outstanding borrowings under our credit facility. We also have substantial additional liquidity available through our undrawn $400.0 million credit facility, which can be expanded through an accordion feature. For the first quarter of 2020, the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic was not material to our operating results. No asset impairments were recorded as of the balance sheet date as no triggering events or changes in circumstances occurred as of period-end to require such an impairment; however, due to significant uncertainty surrounding the pandemic, management’s judgment regarding this could change in the future.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include revenue recognition, determining the nature and timing of satisfaction of performance obligations, and determining the standalone selling price ("SSP") of performance obligations, variable consideration, and other obligations such as returns and refunds; loss contingencies; the estimated useful life of deferred commissions; the carrying amount and estimated useful lives of intangible assets; the carrying amount of operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities; determining share-based compensation expense; the valuation allowance for receivables; and determining the potential outcome of future tax consequences of events that have been recognized on our consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Actual results could differ from estimates.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Nature of Products and ServicesServices:
We earn revenue from software licenses, royalties, subscription-based services, software services, post-contract customer support (“PCS” or “maintenance”), hardware, and appraisal services. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those products or services. We determine revenue recognition through the following steps:
Identification of the contract, or contracts with a customer
Identification of the performance obligations in the contract
Determination of the transaction price


Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
Recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation
Most of our software arrangements with customers contain multiple performance obligations that range from software licenses, installation, training, and consulting to software modification and customization to meet specific customer needs (services), hosting, and PCS. For these contracts, we account for individual performance obligations separately when they are distinct. We evaluate whether separate performance obligations can be distinct or should be accounted for as one performance obligation. Arrangements that include software services, such as training or installation, are evaluated to determine whether the customer can benefit from the services either on their own or together with other resources readily available to the customer and whether the services are separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. The transaction price is allocated to the distinct performance obligations on a relative SSP basis. We determine the SSP based on our overall pricing objectives, taking into consideration market conditions and other factors, including the value of our contracts, the applications sold, customer demographics, and the number and types of users within our contracts. Revenue is recognized net of allowances for sales adjustments and any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.

Significant Judgments:
Our contracts with customers often include multiple performance obligations to a customer. When a software arrangement (license or subscription) includes both software licenses and software services, judgment is required to determine whether the software license is considered distinct and accounted for separately, or not distinct and accounted for together with the software services and recognized over time.
The transaction price is allocated to the separate performance obligations on a relative SSP basis. We determine the SSP based on our overall pricing objectives, taking into consideration market conditions and other factors, including the value of our contracts, the applications sold, customer demographics, and the number and types of users within our contracts. We use a range of amounts to estimate SSP when we sell each of the products and services separately and need to determine whether there is a discount to be allocated based on the relative SSP of the various products and services. In instances where SSP is not directly observable, such as when we do not sell the product or service separately, we determine SSP using the expected cost-plus margin approach.
For arrangements that involve significant production, modification or customization of the software, or where software services otherwise cannot be considered distinct, we recognize revenue as control is transferred to the customer over time using progress-to-completion methods. Depending on the contract, we measure progress-to-completion primarily using labor hours incurred, or value added. The progress-to-completion method generally results in the recognition of reasonably consistent profit margins over the life of a contract because we can provide reasonably dependable estimates of contract billings and contract costs. We use the level of profit margin that is most likely to occur on a contract. If the most likely profit margin cannot be precisely determined, the lowest probable level of profit margin in the range of estimates is used until the results can be estimated more precisely. These arrangements are often implemented over an extended time period and occasionally require us to revise total cost estimates. Amounts recognized in revenue are calculated using the progress-to-completion measurement after giving effect to any changes in our cost estimates. Changes to total estimated contract costs, if any, are recorded in the period they are determined. Estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which we first determine that a loss is apparent.
Typically, the structure of our arrangements does not give rise to variable consideration. However, in those instances whereby variable consideration exists, we include in our estimates additional revenue for variable consideration when we believe we have an enforceable right, the amount can be estimated reliably and its realization is probable.
Refer to Note 13 - Disaggregation"Disaggregation of RevenueRevenue" for further information, including the economic factors that affect the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows of our various revenue categories.

Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accountslosses and sales adjustments
Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. We record an unbilled receivable when revenue is recognized prior to invoicing, or deferred revenue when revenue is recognized subsequent to invoicing. For multi-year agreements, we generally invoice customers annually at the beginning of each annual coverage period. We record an unbilled receivable related to revenue recognized for on-premises licenses as we have an unconditional right to invoice and receive payment in the future related to those licenses.


At March 31, 20192020, and December 31, 2018,2019, total current and long-term accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts,losses and sales adjustments, was $321.8$339.5 million and $314.9$396.5 million, respectively. We have recorded unbilled receivables of $113.1$134.5 million and $104.2$134.0 million at March 31, 2019,2020, and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively. Included in unbilled receivables are retention receivables of $13.4$12.5 million and $12.2$13.1 million at March 31, 2019,2020, and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively, which become payable upon the completion of the contract or completion of our fieldwork and formal hearings. Unbilled receivables expected to be collected within one year have been included with accounts receivable, current portion in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets,March 31, 2020, does not include provisions for credit losses. As of January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses and primarily evaluated our historical experience with credit losses related to trade and other current liabilities, and operating lease liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. We currently doreceivables. Because we have not haveexperienced any finance lease arrangements.

As mostmajority of our leases do not provide an implicit rate,clients, we use our incremental borrowing rate based onhave no basis to record a reserve for credit losses as defined by the information available at commencement date of the lease in determining the present value of future payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted as a single lease component.standard.

Leases.In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, We adopted Topic 842 using(“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 changes the transition methodimpairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables, available for-sale debt securities, held-to-maturity debt securities and loans, and requires entities to use a new forward-looking expected loss model that allows us to initiallywill result in the earlier recognition of an allowance for losses. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for a fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. Entities apply the guidance at the adoption date of January 1, 2019, and recognizedstandard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. We used the package of practical expedients that allows us to not reassess: (1) lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (2) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases. We did not elect to use the hindsight application for evaluating the lifeas of the lease arrangement. The impactsbeginning of adoption are reflectedthe first reporting period in which the financial information herein. For additional details, see Note 10guidance is adopted.

(3) Acquisitions

On February 28, 2019, we acquired all of the capital stock of MP Holdings Parent, Inc. dba MicroPact ("MicroPact"), a leading provider of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) solutions, including entellitrak®, a low-code application development platform for case management and business process management used extensively in the public sector. The total purchase price, net of cash acquired of $2.0 million, was approximately $204.2 million consisting of $197.5 million paid in cash, accrued contingent consideration of $7.0 million contingent upon the achievement of certain financial performance objectives, and $1.7 million accrued for certain holdbacks, subject to certain post-closing adjustments.
We have performed a preliminary valuation analysis of the fair market value of MicroPact’s assets and liabilities. The following table summarizes the allocation of the preliminary purchase price as of the acquisition date:
(In thousands)  
Cash $1,983
Accounts receivable 11,852
Other current assets 8,979
Other noncurrent assets 10,417
Identifiable intangible assets 118,843
Goodwill 82,029
Accounts payable (602)
Accrued expenses (2,432)
Other noncurrent liabilities (8,879)
Deferred revenue (9,898)
Deferred tax liabilities, net (6,144)
Total consideration $206,148

In connection with this transaction, we acquired total tangible assets of $33.2 million and assumed liabilities of approximately $21.8 million. We recorded goodwill of $82.0 million, none of which is expected to be deductible for tax purposes, and other identifiable intangible assets of approximately $118.8 million. The $118.8 million of intangible assets are attributable to customer relationships, acquired software, trade name and favorable fair value of an operating lease and will be amortized over a weighted average period of approximately 10 years. We recorded deferred tax liabilities of $6.1 million related to estimated fair value allocations. The acquisition of MicroPact augments Tyler's product solutions, positions us in new practice areas such as health and human services, and presents opportunities to expand our business across new and complementary markets. Tyler intends to expand its total addressable market through MicroPact's strong presence in the federal market. Therefore, the goodwill of $82.0 million arising from this acquisition is primarily attributed to our ability to generate increased revenues, earnings and cash flow by expanding our addressable market and client base.


The following unaudited pro forma consolidated operating results information has been prepared as if the MicroPact acquisition had occurred at January 1, 2018, after giving effect to certain adjustments, including amortization of intangibles, interest, transaction costs and tax effects.

Pro forma information above does not include acquisitions that are not considered material to our results of operations. The pro forma information does not purport to represent what our results of operations actually would have been had such transaction occurred on the date specified or to project our results of operations for any future period.
On February 1, 2019, we acquired all the assets of Civic, LLC ("MyCivic"), a company that provides software solutions to connect communities. The purchase price was $3.7 million of which $3.6 million was paid in cash and approximately $90,000 was accrued for a working capital holdback.
As of March 31, 2019, the purchase price allocations for MicroPact and MyCivic are not yet complete. The preliminary estimates of fair value assumed at the acquisition date for intangible assets, deferred revenue, accrued contingent consideration, accrued holdbacks and related deferred taxes are subject to change as valuations are finalized. The operating results of MicroPact and MyCivic are included in the operating results of the Enterprise Software segment since their respective dates of acquisition. Revenues from MicroPact included in Tyler's results of operations were approximately $5.5 million and the net loss was $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Revenues and operating results from MyCivic included2020, we paid $5.6 million in 2019 results were not significant.contingent consideration.

These fees were expensedacquisitions completed in 2019 and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.prior periods.
Our balance sheet as of March 31, 2019, reflects the allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired based on their fair value at the date of each acquisition. The fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired are based on valuations using Level III, unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

(5) Deferred Commissions
Sales commissions earned by our sales force are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. Sales commissions for initial contracts are deferred and then amortized commensurate with the recognition of associated revenue over a period of benefit that we have determined to be three to seven years. Deferred commissions were $23.6$30.9 million and $21.9$29.8 million as of March 31, 2019,2020, and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively. Amortization expense was $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, and $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, and $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018.2019. There were no0 indicators of impairment in relation to the costs capitalized for the periods presented. Deferred commissions have been included with prepaid expenses for the current portion and non-current other assets for the long-term portion in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amortization expense related to deferred commissions is included in selling,Selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.
(6) Other Assets

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on deposit with several domestic banks and money market funds.
As of March 31, 2019,2020, we have $81.0$90.6 million in investment grade corporate and municipal bonds with maturity dates ranging ranging through 2022.2023. We intend to hold these bonds to maturity and have classified them as such. We believe cost approximates fair value because of the relatively short duration of these investments. The fair values of these securities are considered Level II as they are based on inputs from quoted prices in markets that are not active or other observable market data. These investments are presented at amortized cost are included in short-termShort-term investments and non-currentNon-current investments and other assets.assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2020, we have an accrued interest receivable balance of $493,000 and is included in Account receivables, net. We do not measure an allowance for credit losses for accrued interest receivables. We record any losses within the maturity period of the investment and any write-offs to accrued interest receivables are recorded as a reduction to interest income in the period of the loss. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we have recorded no credit losses. Interest income and amortization of discounts and premiums are included in Other income (expense), net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we sold our $15 million investment in convertible preferred stock representing a 20% interest in Record Holdings Pty Limited ("Record Holdings"), a privately held Australian company specializing in digitizing the spoken word in court and legal proceedings, to BFTR, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Bison Capital Partners V L.P. During the same period, we purchased $10 million in common stock representing a 18% interest in BFTR, LLC. The investment in common stock is accounted under the cost method because we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the investee and the securities do not have readily determinable fair values. Our investment is carried at cost less any impairment write-downs. Annually, our cost method investments are assessed for impairment. We do not reassess the fair value of cost method investments if there are no identified events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investments. This investment is included in Non-current investments and other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
(7) Revolving Line of Credit

On November 16, 2015,September 30, 2019, we entered into a $300$400 million credit agreement with various lender parties and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility provides for a revolving credit line up to $300$400 million, including a $10$25 million sublimit for letters of credit. The Credit Facility matures on November 16, 2020. Borrowings under the Credit Facility may be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital requirements, acquisitions and share repurchases.

September 30, 2024.
Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a rate of either (1) Wells Fargo Bank’s prime rate (subject to certain higher rate determinations) plus a margin of 0.25%0.125% to 1.00%0.75% or (2) the 30, 60, 90one-, two-, three-, or 180 daysix-month LIBOR rate plus a margin of 1.25%1.125% to 2.00%1.75%. As of March 31, 2019,2020, the interest rates were 5.75%3.38% under the Wells Fargo Bank's prime rate. The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of our assets.rate and approximately 2.12% under the 30-day LIBOR option. The Credit Facility requires us to maintain certain financial ratios and other financial conditions and prohibits us from making certain investments, advances, cash dividends or loans, and limits incurrence of additional indebtedness and liens. As of March 31, 2019,2020, we were in compliance with those covenants.

As of March 31, 2019,2020, we had 0 outstanding borrowings of $85.0 million at interest rates of approximately 3.80%, under a 30-day LIBOR contract. As of March 31, 2019, available borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility, and available borrowing capacity was $215.0$400.0 million.

(8) Income Tax Provision
We had an effective income tax rate of negative 36.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to 22.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to 4.1%2019. The change in the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2018. 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019, was principally driven by an increase in the excess tax benefits related to stock incentive awards.
The effective income tax rates for the periods presented were different from the statutory United States federal income tax rate of 21% due to excess tax benefits related to stock option exercises,incentive awards, state income taxes, non-deductible business expenses, and the tax benefit of research tax credits. The excess tax benefitbenefits related to stock option exercisesincentive awards realized was $22.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to $9.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018.2019. Excluding the excess tax benefits, the effective rate was 27.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to 26.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to 27.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2018.
The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018 was principally due to the decrease in excess tax benefit related to stock option exercises.2019.
We made tax payments of $88,000$176,000 and $218,000$88,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2019,2020, and 2018,2019, respectively.

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security ("CARES") Act, which was signed into law on March 27, 2020, provides an estimated $2.2 trillion to fight the COVID-19 pandemic and stimulate the U.S. economy. The assistance includes tax relief and government loans, and investments and grants for entities in affected industries (e.g., health care, airlines). The business tax provisions of the CARES Act include temporary changes to income and non-income based tax laws, including the ability to utilize net operating losses, interest expense deductions, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, charitable contributions, and depreciation of qualified improvement property. Measures not related to income-based taxes include (1) allowing an employer to pay its share of Social Security payroll taxes that would otherwise be due from the date of enactment through December 31, 2020, over the following two years and (2) allowing eligible employers subject to closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic to receive a 50% credit on qualified wages against their employment taxes each quarter, with any excess credits eligible for refunds.
We evaluated the CARES Act provisions and the enactment resulted in no income tax adjustments. We do not believe that the income tax implications will be significant to our overall income tax liability.

Rental Income from third parties
We own office buildings in Bangor, Falmouth and Yarmouth, Maine; Lubbock and Plano, Texas; Troy, Michigan; Latham, New York; and Moraine, Ohio. We lease space in some of these buildings to third-party tenants. The property we lease to others under operating leases consists primarily of specific facilities where one tenant obtains substantially all of the economic benefit from the asset and has the right to direct the use of the asset. These non-cancelable leases expire between 20192020 and 2025, and some of which have options to extend the lease for up to five years. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. None of our leases allow the lessee to purchase the leased asset.

Rental income from third-party tenants for the three months ended March 31, 2020, totaled $274,000 and for the three months ended March 31, 2019, totaled $284,000 and for the three months ended March 31, 2018 totaled $357,000.$284,000.

(12) Segment and Related Information
We provide integrated information management solutions and services for the public sector, with a focus on local governments.
We provide our software systems and services and appraisal services through five7 business units, which focus on the following products:
financial management, education and planning, regulatory and maintenance software solutions;
financial management, municipal courts, planning, regulatory and maintenance and land and vital records management software solutions;
courts and justice and public safety software solutions;
data and insights solutions;
case management and business management solutions; and
appraisal and tax software solutions, and property appraisal services.services and land and vital records management software solutions.
In accordance with ASC 280-10, Segment Reporting, the financial management, education and planning, regulatory and maintenance software solutions unit; financial management, municipal courts, planning, regulatory and maintenance, and land and vital records management software solutions unit; courts and justice and public safety software solutions unit; and the data and insights solutions unitunit; and case management and business management solutions units meet the criteria for aggregation and are presented in one1 reportable segment, the Enterprise Software (“ES”) segment. The ES segment provides municipal and county governments and schoolspublic sector entities with software systems and services to meet their information technology and automation needs for mission-critical “back-office” functions such asas: financial management and education, courts and justice, processes; public safety;safety, planning, regulatory and maintenance; land and vital records management,maintenance, and data analytics.and insights. The Appraisal and Tax (“A&T”) segment provides systems and software that automate the appraisal and assessment of real and personal property, land and vital records management as well as property appraisal outsourcing services for local governments and taxing authorities. Property appraisal outsourcing services include: the physical inspection of commercial and residential properties; data collection and processing; computer analysis for property valuation; preparation of tax rolls; community education; and arbitration between taxpayers and the assessing jurisdiction.
We evaluate performance based on several factors, of which the primary financial measure is business segment operating income. We define segment operating income for our business units as income before non-cash amortization of intangible assets associated with their acquisitions, interest expense and income taxes. Segment operating income includes intercompany transactions. The majority of intercompany transactions relate to contracts involving more than one unit and are valued based on the contractual arrangement. Segment operating income for corporateCorporate primarily consists of compensation costs for the executive management team and certain accounting and administrative staff and share-based compensation expense for the entire company. Corporate segment operating income also includes revenues and expenses related to a company-wide user conference. Due to the shelter-in-place orders caused by the COVID pandemic, we cancelled our company-wide user conference for the current year.
As of January 1, 2020, the land and vital records management business unit, which was previously reported in the ES segment, was moved to the A&T segment. These changes were made to reflect changes in the way in which management makes operating decisions, allocates resources, and manages the growth and profitability of the Company. Prior year amounts for the ES and A&T segments have been adjusted to reflect the segment change.

Recurring Revenue
The majority of our revenue is comprised of recurring revenues from maintenance and subscriptions. Virtually all of our on-premises software clients contract with us for maintenance and support, which provides us with a significant source of recurring revenue. We generally provide maintenance and support for our on-premises clients under annual, or in some cases, multi-year contracts. The contract terms for subscription arrangements range from one to 10 years but are typically contracted for initial periods of three to five years, providing a significant source of recurring revenues on an annual basis. Non-recurring revenues are derived forfrom all other revenue categories.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
CAUTIONARY NOTE CONCERNING 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; (2)(3) our ability to protect client information from security breaches and provide uninterrupted operations of data centers; (3)(4) our ability to achieve growth or operational synergies through the integration of acquired businesses, while avoiding unanticipated costs and disruptions to existing operations; (4)(5) material portions of our business require the Internet infrastructure to be adequately maintained; (5)(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; (6)(7) general economic, political and market conditions; (7)(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; (8)(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; (9)(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 (10)(11) 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 Item 1A, “Risk Factors.” We expressly disclaim any obligation to publicly update or revise our forward-looking statements.
GENERAL

We provide integrated information management solutions and services for the public sector, with a focus on local governments. We develop and market a broad line of software products and services to address the IT needs of cities, counties, schools and other local governmentpublic sector entities. In addition, we provide professional IT services to our clients, including software and hardware installation, data conversion, training, and for certain clients, product modifications, along with continuing maintenance and support for clients using our systems. We also provide subscription-based services such as software as a service (“SaaS”), which primarily utilize the Tyler private cloud, and electronic document filing solutions (“e-filing”), which simplify the filing and management of court related documents. Revenues for e-filing are derived from transaction fees and, in some cases, fixed fee arrangements. Other transaction-based fees primarily relate to online payment services. We also provide property appraisal outsourcing services for taxing jurisdictions.
Our products generally automate seven major functional areas: (1) financial management and education, (2) courts and justice, (3) public safety (4) property appraisal and tax, (5) planning, regulatory and maintenance (6) land and vital records management, and (7) data and insights.insights and (8) case management and business process management. We report our results in two segments. The Enterprise Software (“ES”) segment provides federal, municipal and county governments and schoolspublic sector entities with software systems and services to meet their information technology and automation needs for mission-critical “back-office” functions such as: financial management; courts and justice processes; public safety; planning, regulatory and maintenance; land and vital records management; and data analytics. The Appraisal and Tax (“A&T”) segment provides systems and software that automate the appraisal and assessment of real and personal property, land and vital records management as well as property appraisal outsourcing services for local governments and taxing authorities. Property appraisal outsourcing services include: the physical inspection of commercial and residential properties; data collection and processing; computer analysis for property valuation; preparation of tax rolls; community education; and arbitration between taxpayers and the assessing jurisdiction.
As of January 1, 2020, the land and vital records management business unit, which was previously reported in the ES segment, was moved to the A&T segment. These changes were made to reflect changes in the way in which management makes operating decisions, allocates resources, and manages the growth and profitability of the Company. Prior year amounts for the ES and A&T segments have been adjusted to reflect the segment change.
Our total employee count increased to 5,449 at March 31, 2020, from 5,053 at March 31, 2019, from 4,121 at March 31, 2018.2019.

the COVID-19 Pandemic
On January 1, 2019,In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID -19 a pandemic, which continues to spread throughout the U.S. and the world and has resulted in authorities implementing numerous measures to contain the virus, including travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders, and business limitations and shutdowns. While we adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases ("Topic 842") usingare unable to accurately predict the transition methodfull impact that allows usCOVID-19 will have on our results from operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows due to initially applynumerous uncertainties, including the guidance atduration and severity of the adoption datepandemic and containment measures and associated compliance, we do expect the current environment will negatively impact our revenues and other financial results for fiscal 2020. However, for the first quarter of January 1, 2019,2020, we did not experience a material negative impact on our financial results associated with the pandemic.
Because an increasing portion of our revenues are recurring, the effect of COVID-19 on our results of operations may also not be fully reflected for some time. We expect to see some impact on our business in the near term, with possible delays in government procurement processes and recognizedelays in implementations caused by travel restrictions, closed offices, or clients shifting focus to more pressing issues. We are working to address those challenges through adapting the way we do business – encouraging web and video conferencing, conducting sales demonstrations and delivering professional services remotely.
Our priorities during this crisis are protecting the health and safety of our employees and our clients. Our IT systems and applications support a cumulative-effect adjustmentremote workforce. Prior to the openingpandemic, many of our employees worked remotely. In response to the pandemic, we encouraged all employees who are able to do so to work from home, equipping them with resources necessary to continue uninterrupted. We were able to transition the vast majority of our employees to this work-from-home posture. This reduces the number of team members in our offices to those uniquely needed for essential on-site services, such as network operations support staff, and allows for “social distancing” as directed by the Centers for Disease Control ("CDC").
The pandemic has delayed some government procurement processes and is expected to impact our ability to complete certain implementations, negatively impacting our revenue. It could also negatively impact the timing of client payments to us.We continue to monitor these trends in order to respond to the ever-changing impact of COVID-19 on our clients and Tyler’s operations.
Recurring revenues, from subscriptions and maintenance revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2020, comprise 71% of our total consolidated revenue, and include newer transaction-based revenue streams such as e-filing and online payments. As of March 31, 2020, we had $392.6 million in cash and investments and no outstanding borrowings under our credit facility. We also have substantial additional liquidity available through our undrawn $400.0 million credit facility, which can be expanded through an accordion feature. For the first quarter of 2020, the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic was not material to our operating results. No asset impairments were recorded as of the balance sheet date as no triggering events or changes in circumstances had occurred as of retained earningsperiod-end to require such an impairment; however, due to significant uncertainty surrounding the situation, management’s judgment regarding this could change in the period of adoption. We used the package of practical expedients that allows us to not reassess: (1) lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (2) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases. The impacts of adoption are reflected in the financial information herein. For additional information, see Note 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this report.future.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared following the requirements of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for the interim period and require us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition and amortization and potential impairment of intangible assets and goodwill and share-based compensation expense. As these are condensed financial statements, one should also read expanded information about our critical accounting policies and estimates provided in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019. Except for the accounting policies for operating leasescredit losses updated as a result of adopting ASU No. 2016-02,2016-13 - Financial Instruments - Credit losses, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019.

Excluding the results of acquisitions, softwareSoftware licenses and royalties revenue decreased 7.4%14% for the three months ended March 31, 2019,2020, compared to the prior year period. The decline wasin software licenses and royalties revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020, is primarily dueattributed to a shift in the mix of new software contracts toward more subscription agreements compared to the prior year. Our total new contract value mix for the three months ended March 31, 2019,2020, was approximately 46%27% perpetual software license arrangements and approximately 54%73% subscription-based arrangements compared to total new contract value mix for the three months ended March 31, 2018,2019, of approximately 60%46% perpetual software license arrangements and approximately 40%54% subscription-based arrangements.

Although the mix of new contracts between subscription-based and perpetual license arrangements may vary from quarter to quarter and year to year, we expect our longer-term software license growth rate to slow as a growing number of clients choose our subscription-based options, rather than purchasing the software under a traditional perpetual software license arrangement. Subscription-based arrangements generally do not result in lower software license revenue in the initial year as compared to perpetual software license arrangements but generate higher overall revenue over the term of the contract.

Subscriptions revenue primarily consists of revenue derived from our SaaS arrangements, which generally utilize the Tyler private cloud. As part of our subscription-based services, we also provide e-filing arrangements that simplify the filing and management of court related documents for courts and law offices. E-filing revenue is derived from transaction fees and fixed fee arrangements.

Excluding the results of acquisitions, subscriptionsSubscriptions revenue grew 22%21% for the three months ending March 31, 2019,2020, compared to the prior year. New SaaS clients as well as existing clients who converted to our SaaS model provided the majority of the subscriptions revenue increase. In the three months ending March 31, 2019,2020, we added 128131 new SaaS clients and 1319 existing on-premises clients converted to our SaaS model. Since March 31, 2018,2019, we have added 416599 new SaaS clients while 84 existing on-premises clients converted to our SaaS model. Also, e-filing services and transaction-based fees from online payments contributed approximately $2.2$2.8 million to the subscriptions revenue increase for the three months ended March 31, 2019,2020 due to the addition of new e-filing clients, as well as increased volumes as the result of several existing clients mandating e-filing.online payments from utility billings.

Software licenses, royalties and acquired software. Amortization expense for acquired software comprises the majority of costs of software licenses, royalties and acquired software. We do not have any direct costs associated with royalties. In the three months ended March 31, 2019,2020, our software licenses, royalties and acquired software gross margin decreased 7.4%12.4% compared to the prior year period due to the decline inlower revenue from software licenses revenues coupled with higherand increased amortization expense for acquired software resulting from acquisitions.


Software services, maintenance and subscriptions. Cost of software services, maintenance and subscriptions primarily consists of personnel costs related to installation of our software, conversion of client data, training client personnel and support activities and various other services such as custom client development and ongoing operation of SaaS and e-filing arrangements. The software services, maintenance and subscription gross margin in the three months ended March 31, 2019,2020, increased 1.9%1.2% from the comparable prior year period. Excluding employees added through acquisitions, ourOur implementation and support staff has grown by 104290 employees since March 31, 2018,2019, as we accelerated hiring to ensure that we are well-positioned to deliver our current backlog and anticipated new business. Costs related to maintenance and various other services such as SaaS and e-filing typically grow at a slower rate than related revenue due to leverage in the utilization of support and maintenance staff and economies of scale. 
Appraisal services. Appraisal services revenue was approximately 2%2.1% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2019.2020. The appraisal services gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2019, increased 3.9%2020, decreased 9.9% compared to the same period in 2018.2019. During the three months ended March 31, 2019,2020, appraisal services gross margin increaseddecreased due to staffing increases resulting from new revaluation projects, as well as lower headcountstaff utilization in March 2020 as a result of appraisal staff.COVID-19 shelter-in place orders. The appraisal services business is somewhat cyclical and driven in part by statutory revaluation cycles in various states.
For the three months ended March 31, 2019,2020, our overall gross margin increased 0.5%decreased 0.3% compared to the prior year period. OurThe decrease in overall margins is attributed to lower margins from software licenses due to lower software license revenue and higher amortization expense for acquired software resulting from acquisitions as well as staffing increases attributed to appraisal services. The decrease in overall gross margin increase for the three month period is attributed tooffset by a higher revenue mix for subscription revenues compared to the prior year period resulting in an increase in incremental margin related to software services, maintenance and subscriptions. Costs related to maintenance and various other services such as SaaS and e-filing typically grow at a slower rate than related revenue due to leverage in the utilization of support and maintenance staff and economies of scale. The increase in overall margins are offset by lower margins from software licenses, in part due to higher amortization expense for acquired software resulting from acquisitions.

Amortization of Other Intangibles
Acquisition intangibles are composedcomprised of the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net tangible assets acquired that is primarily allocated to acquired software and customer and trade name intangibles. The remaining excess purchase price is allocated to goodwill that is not subject to amortization. Amortization expense related to acquired software is included with cost of revenues while amortization expense of customer and trade name intangibles is recorded as operating expense.

The business tax provisions of the three months ended MarchAct include temporary changes to income and non-income based tax laws, including the ability to utilize net operating losses, interest expense deductions, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, charitable contributions, and depreciation of qualified improvement property. Measures not related to income-based taxes include (1) allowing an employer to pay its share of Social Security payroll taxes that would otherwise be due from the date of enactment through December 31, 2018.


2020, over the following two years and (2) allowing eligible employers subject to closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic to receive a 50% credit on qualified wages against their employment taxes each quarter, with any excess credits eligible for refunds. We evaluated the CARES Act provisions and the enactment resulted in no income tax adjustments. We do not believe that the income tax implications will be significant to our overall income tax liability.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
As of March 31, 2019,2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of $39.4$302.0 million compared to $134.3$232.7 million at December 31, 2018.2019. We also had $81.0$90.6 million invested in investment grade corporate and municipal bonds as of March 31, 2019.2020. These investments mature ranging through 2022,2023, and we intend to hold these investments until maturity. As of March 31, 2019,2020, we believe our cash from operating activities, revolving line of credit, cash on hand and access to the capital markets provides us with sufficient flexibility to meet our long-term financial needs.

Net cash provided by operating activities continues to be our primary source of funds to finance operating needs and capital expenditures. Other potential capital resources include cash on hand, public and private issuances of debt or equity securities, and bank borrowings. It is possible that our ability to access the capital and credit markets in the future may be limited by economic conditions or other factors. We believe that cash provided by operating activities, cash on hand and available credit are sufficient to fund our working capital requirements, capital expenditures, income tax obligations, and share repurchases for at least the next twelve months.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019,2020, operating activities provided cash of $24.0$56.7 million. Operating activities that provided cash were primarily comprised of net income of $27.3$47.6 million, non-cash depreciation and amortization charges of $17.3$20.0 million, and non-cash share-based compensation expense of $14.4$17.3 million and a non-cash decrease in operating lease right-of-use assets of $1.5 million. Working capital, excluding cash, increased approximately $35.1$29.6 million mainly due to the decline in deferred revenue balances, the timing of payments related to bonuses and prepaid commissions, and the deferred taxes associated with stock option activity during the period. These increases were offset by collections of annual maintenance renewals and subscription renewal billings that are billed in the fourth quarter, as well as the timing of income tax payments.quarter.
Our days sales outstanding (“DSO”) was 104 days at March 31, 2019,2020, compared to 111117 days at December 31, 20182019 and 88104 days at March 31, 2018.2019. The decrease in DSO compared to December 31, 2018,2019, is primarily attributed to our maintenance billing cycle typically peaking at its highest level in June and second highest level in December of each year and is followed by collections in the subsequent quarter. DSO is calculated based on quarter-end accounts receivable divided by the quotient of annualized quarterly revenues divided by 360 days. The increase

Approximately $12.3 million was invested in property and equipment, including $8.7 million related to real estate. Approximately $690,000 of software development was capitalized in the quarter.

Financing activities provided cash of $76.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019, and were comprised of purchases of treasury shares, net borrowings from our revolving line of credit, proceeds from stock option exercises and employee stock purchase plan activity. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we repurchased approximately 72,000 shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $14.3 million, with an average price per share of $199.03.
Financing activities provided cash of $21.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018, and were comprised of proceeds from stock option exercises and employee stock purchase plan activity. We did not repurchase any shares of our common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2018.

In February 2019, our board of directors authorized the repurchase of an additional 1.5 million shares of Tyler common stock. The repurchase program, which was approved by our board of directors, was originally announced in October 2002 and was amended at various times from 2003 through 2019. As of March 31, 2019,2020, we hadhave authorization from our board of directors to repurchase up to 2.6 million additional shares of Tyler common stock. Our share repurchase program allows us to repurchase shares at our discretion. Market conditions influence the timing of the buybacks and the number of shares repurchased, as well as the volume of employee stock option exercises. Share repurchases are generally funded using our existing cash balances and borrowings under our credit facility and may occur through open market purchases and transactions structured through investment banking institutions, privately negotiated transactions and/or other mechanisms. There is no expiration date specified for the authorization, and we intend to repurchase stock under the plan from time to time.

We made tax payments of $88,000$176,000 and $218,000$88,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2019,2020, and 2018,2019, respectively.
On September 30, 2019, we entered into a $400 million credit agreement with various lender parties and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility provides for a revolving credit line up to $400 million, including a $25 million sublimit for letters of credit. The Credit Facility matures on September 30, 2024.

We anticipate that 20192020 capital spending will be between $48$36 million and $50$38 million, including approximately $22$9 million related to real estate and approximately $6$7 million of capitalized software development. We expect the majority of the other capital spending will consist of computer equipment and software for infrastructure replacements and expansion. Capital spending is expected to be funded from existing cash balances and cash flows from operations.

From time to time we engage in discussions with potential acquisition candidates. In order to pursue such opportunities, which could require significant commitments of capital, we may be required to incur debt or to issue additional potentially dilutive securities in the future. No assurance can be given as to our future acquisition opportunities and how such opportunities will be financed.
We lease office facilities, as well as transportation and other equipment used in our operations under non-cancelable operating lease agreements expiring at various dates through 2026.2028.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk represents the risk of loss that may affect us due to adverse changes in financial market prices and interest rates.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, one should carefully consider the discussion of various risks and uncertainties contained in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 20182019 Annual Report on Form 10-K. We believe those risk factors are the most relevant to our business and could cause our results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements made by us. Please note, however, that those are not the only risk factors facing us. Additional risks that we do not consider material, or of which we are not currently aware, may also have an adverse impact on us. Our business, financial condition and results of operations could be seriously harmed if any of these risks or uncertainties actually occurs or materializes. In that event, the market price for our common stock could decline, and our shareholders may lose all or part of their investment. During the three months ended March 31, 2019,2020, except for the risk factors described below, there were no material changes in the information regarding risk factors contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019.

COVID-19 will adversely affect our business and results of operations.
We expect that the global emergence of COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) will negatively impact our business and financial results in fiscal year 2020. As the virus has spread, it has resulted in authorities implementing numerous measures to contain the virus, including travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders, and business limitations and shutdowns. While we are unable to accurately predict the full impact that COVID-19 will have on our results from operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows due to numerous uncertainties, including the duration and severity of the pandemic and containment measures and associated compliance, we do expect the pandemic will negatively impact our revenues and other financial results.
We expect to see some impact on our business in the near term, with possible delays in government procurement processes and delays in implementations caused by travel restrictions, closed offices, or clients shifting focus to more pressing issues.
We expect appraisal and software implementations projects delays as clients put projects on hold or slow projects by extending go-lives dates. While we have the ability to deliver most of our professional services remotely, some of our professional services, including appraisal assessments, are more effective when performed on-site, and certain clients insist on on-site services in any event. In addition, some professional services relate to training and require the availability of the client. We expect a negative impact on our software services revenue and appraisal services and respective margins throughout the fiscal year 2020. Also, we expect software licenses and subscriptions revenues to be negatively affected due to delays in procurement processes. Our clients who are negatively impacted by the virus may request changes to payment terms, negatively impacting the timing of collections of accounts receivables in future periods. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, 71% of our total revenue and earnings are relatively predictable as a result of our subscription and maintenance revenue, which is recurring in nature, and for most of first quarter 2020, our results were not materially impacted by COVID-19; thus, the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic will not be fully reflected in our results of operations and overall financial performance until future periods.
