ACQUISITIONS

2015

On November 16, 2015, we acquired all of the capital stock of New World Systems Corporation (“NWS”), which provides public safety and financial solutions for local governments.  The purchase price, net of cash acquired of $22.5 million, was $337.5 million in cash, of which $4.0 million was accrued at December 31, 2015, and 2.1 million shares of Tyler common stock valued at $362.8 million, which was based on the closing price on November 16, 2015. We also incurred fees of approximately $5.9 million for financial advisory, legal, accounting, due diligence, valuation and other various services necessary to complete the acquisition. These fees were expensed in 2015 and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Tyler has performed a preliminary valuation analysis of the fair market value of NWS’ assets and liabilities.  The following table summarizes the allocation of the preliminary purchase price as of the acquisition date.

In connection with this transaction we acquired total tangible assets of $70.1 million and assumed liabilities of approximately $61.8 million. We recorded goodwill of $527.6 million, none of which is expected to be deductible for tax purposes, and other intangible assets of approximately $264.8 million. Approximately $261.1 million of intangible assets is attributable to customer relationships, acquired software and trade name and will be amortized over a weighted average period of approximately 11 years. Also included in other intangibles is an asset for approximately $3.7 million to reflect the fair value of existing lease agreements, and this intangible will be amortized over the weighted average life of these lease agreements of approximately 9 years and reduces other income. In addition, we recorded deferred tax liabilities of $104.5 million related to estimated fair value allocations. We believe this transaction will broaden our courts and justice software solutions and will create a unique end-to-end enterprise criminal justice solution. We believe that likely market participants for this transaction would be entities with a presence in the judicial and public safety markets. Therefore, the goodwill of $527.6 million arising from this acquisition is primarily attributed to our ability to integrate NWS solutions with our existing portfolio and generate increased revenues, earnings and cash flow. As of December 31, 2015, the purchase price allocation for NWS is not yet complete. The preliminary estimates of fair value assumed at the acquisition date for intangible assets, receivables and deferred revenue and related deferred taxes are subject to change as valuations are finalized.  

The following unaudited pro forma information of the consolidated results of operations have been prepared as if the NWS acquisition had occurred at January 1, 2014, after giving effect to certain adjustments, including amortization of intangibles, interest, transaction costs and tax effects. The pro forma results of operations include compensation costs of $16.2 million and $16.0 million in 2015 and 2014, respectively, for certain NWS executives whose employment terminated at the date of acquisition.

Pro forma information 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 or event occurred on the dates specified, or to project our results of operations for any future period.

On May 29, 2015, we acquired all of the capital stock of Brazos Technology Corporation (“Brazos”), which provides mobile hand held solutions primarily to law enforcement agencies for field accident reporting and electronically issuing citations. The purchase price, net of cash acquired of $312,000 and including debt assumed of $733,000, was $6.1 million in cash and 12,500 shares of Tyler common stock valued at $1.5 million. As a result, we acquired total tangible assets of approximately $2.1  million and assumed liabilities of approximately $2.6 million. We have recorded total goodwill of approximately $1.9 million, all of which is expected to be deductible for tax purposes, and other intangible assets of approximately $6.2 million. The $6.2 million of intangible assets is attributable to customer relationships, acquired software and trade name and will be amortized over a weighted average period of approximately ten years.

The operating results of NWS and Brazos are included with the operating results of the Enterprise Software Solutions segment since their dates of acquisition. Revenues from NWS  included in 2015 results of operations totaled approximately $10.0 million and net income was not significant. Our balance sheet as of December 31, 2015, reflects the allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired based on their fair value at the date of 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.

2014

On August 29, 2014, we acquired all of the capital stock of SoftCode, Inc. (“SoftCode”), which develops and sells civil process management software, typically to county sheriff departments. The purchase price, net of cash acquired of $71,000, was $3.5 million in cash, of which $325,000 was accrued at December 31, 2014, and 16,540 shares of Tyler common stock valued at $1.5 million, based on the stock price on the acquisition date.
