• Free cash flow was $6.1 million (cash provided by operating activities of $6.9 million minus capital expenditures of $766,000). For the first quarter of 2006, free cash flow was $9.0 million (cash provided by operating activities of $10.0 million minus capital expenditures of $1.0 million).

“The first quarter of 2007 marked Tyler’s 24th consecutive profitable quarter and our results continued our trend of year-over-year improvement, with double-digit revenue and earnings growth,” commented John S. Marr, Jr., Tyler’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Tyler’s gross margin expanded by 130 basis points compared to the first quarter of 2006, even as we increased staffing to boost our capacity to deliver our contracted backlog. And although our SG&A expenses were higher than anticipated in the first quarter, primarily because of an increase in health claims of approximately 40 percent, Tyler posted a 19 percent increase in net income.

“Free cash flow of $6.1 million for the first quarter of 2007 was more than double our GAAP net income,” noted Mr. Marr. “We continue to invest in growth, with an increased commitment to research and development efforts. We also used $5 million in cash for acquisitions and repurchased $4 million of our common stock in the first quarter. We finished the quarter with $40 million in cash and investments on a balance sheet that provides us with a high degree of financial flexibility.

“We continue to expect that Tyler will have solid revenue growth during 2007, and our current revenue outlook is essentially unchanged from the guidance we provided earlier this year,” Mr. Marr continued. “Although we do not believe there has been a fundamental change in either the market we serve or our overall competitive position, we have seen signs of some marginal softness in certain sectors that could result in a revenue mix with slightly lower license revenues than we previously expected. We are also seeing a greater mix of recurring revenue arrangements which have lower license revenues in the initial year compared to typical one-time license sales, but generate higher overall revenues over the term of the arrangement.

“With our current evaluation of the outlook for the remainder of the year, we have revised our earnings and free cash flow expectations. These adjustments also reflect our decision to increase research and development spending for the remainder of 2007, including activity associated with our new Microsoft Dynamics development and other new products, as well as the current expectation that virtually all of these costs will be expensed. The increase in employee health care costs we experienced in the first quarter of the year is also a factor in the revised guidance,” added Mr. Marr.

Annual Guidance for 2007:
Total revenues for 2007 are currently expected to be in the range of $218 million to $222 million. Tyler expects to have diluted earnings per share of approximately $0.37 to $0.42 for the full year 2007. These estimates include assumed 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 stock purchase plan. The Company currently estimates that its effective income tax rate for 2007 will be approximately 39 percent.

Tyler expects that free cash flow for the year 2007 will be between $24 million and $28 million (cash provided by operations of $28 million to $31 million minus capital expenditures of between $3.5 million and $4.0 million).

Non-GAAP Measures:
This press release discloses the financial measures of EBITDA and free cash flow. These financial measures are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and are therefore considered non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, operating income, cash flows, or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP measures used by Tyler Technologies may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. We believe the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to users of our financial statements and is helpful to fully understand our past financial performance and prospects for the future. We believe these measures are widely used by investors, analysts, and other users of our financial statements to analyze operating performance and to compare our results to those of other companies, and they provide a more complete understanding of our underlying operational results and trends, as well as our marketplace performance and our ability to generate cash. In addition, we internally monitor and review these non-GAAP financial measures on a consolidated basis as some of the primary indicators management uses to evaluate Company performance and for planning and forecasting future periods. Management believes that EBITDA and free cash flow provide meaningful supplemental information to the investor to fully assess the financial performance, trends and future prospects of Tyler’s core operations.

Tyler Technologies, Inc. has included in this press release “forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 concerning its business and operations. Tyler Technologies expressly disclaims any obligation to release publicly any updates or revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations. These expectations and the related statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in, contemplated by, or underlying the forward-looking statements. The risks and uncertainties which forward-looking statements are subject to include, but are not limited to, changes in competition, changes in general economic conditions, changes in the budgets and regulatory environments of the Company’s customers, risks associated with the development of new products and the enhancement of existing products, the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel      , and other risks detailed from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission
