TYLER TECHNOLOGIES ANNOUNCES 2007 GUIDANCE
Dallas, January 10, 2007 — Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) today announced its guidance for the full year 2007 and updated its outlook on results for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Tyler currently expects to report revenues and earnings for the year ended December 31, 2006 that are near or slightly above the upper end of the previously disclosed range of $192 million to $195 million in revenues and $0.31 to $0.33 in diluted earnings per share. Free cash flow for 2006 is expected to be in the range of $21 million to $22 million (cash provided by operations of $25 million to $26 million minus capital expenditures of approximately $4 million).
Tyler repurchased a total of 1.0 million shares of its common stock in 2006 at an average cost of $10.19 per share, including approximately 46,000 shares bought during the fourth quarter.
Tyler Technologies currently expects total revenues for the year 2007 to be in a range of $218 million to $222 million, representing growth of between 12 percent and 14 percent.
Tyler expects diluted earnings per share of approximately $0.39 to $0.44 for 2007, with estimated fully diluted shares of approximately 42.4 million. These estimates include estimated pretax expense for the year of approximately $2.5 million, or $0.05 per share after taxes, related to stock options and the Company’s employee stock purchase plan. The Company currently estimates that its effective tax rate for 2007 will be approximately 39.6 percent.
Tyler expects that free cash flow for the year 2007 will be between $25 million and $29 million (cash provided by operations of $29 million to $32 million minus capital expenditures of between $3.5 million and $4.0 million).
“As we move into 2007, we believe Tyler is well positioned build on the positive trends that we experienced in 2006. Our outlook is supported by a high backlog that reflects the strength of our competitive position, as well as a generally positive market environment,” commented John S. Marr, Jr., Tyler’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are pleased to communicate our expectations for solid revenue growth in our core software business, together with significantly higher earnings and cash flow growth, while concurrently making substantial investments in product development.”

Mr. Marr continued, “Tyler’s guidance for 2007 includes the estimated effects on earnings and free cash flow for planned product development, including the 2007 costs related to the development to broaden the functionality of Microsoft Dynamics AX for the public sector under our new strategic alliance with Microsoft. However, the actual amount and timing of those costs, and whether they are capitalized or expensed, will likely vary from these estimates and require further refinement of our guidance as those development plans evolve.”

We believe the presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to users of our financial statements and is helpful to fully understand our past financial performance and prospects for the future.

In addition, we internally monitor and review this non-GAAP financial measure on a consolidated basis as one of the primary indicators management uses to evaluate Company performance and for planning and forecasting future periods. Management believes that free cash flow provides meaningful supplemental information to the investor to fully assess the financial performance, trends and future prospects of Tyler’s core operations.
