Tyler Technologies, Inc.’s TYL shares have risen 18.1% year to date, significantly outperforming the Zacks Business - Software Services industry’s decline of 1.8%. This robust performance is driven by the increasing adoption of digital technologies by public sector bodies and governments across the United States.
To further support its mission of driving digital transformation in the public sector, Tyler recently opened a new office in Orono, ME. This state-of-the-art facility is set to accommodate approximately 75 full-time and part-time employees, enhancing Tyler's operational capacity and reinforcing its commitment to innovation and community engagement.
TYL has a robust workforce in Maine, with more than 1,250 employees based in the state. The company has consistently been recognized as one of the best places to work in Maine, which is a testament to its positive workplace culture and employee-centric policies.

Favorable Industry Trends
The public sector's increasing reliance on technology to improve efficiency and service delivery bodes well for Tyler. Governments at all levels are investing in digital transformation initiatives, which include modernizing legacy systems, enhancing cybersecurity and adopting cloud-based solutions. As a trusted partner to the public sector, TYL is well positioned to benefit from these industry trends.
TYL is also leveraging its partnership with Microsoft MSFT and Amazon’s AMZN Amazon Web Services (“AWS”) and implementing their offerings to deliver its solutions.
TYL has collaborated with Microsoft to develop core public sector functionality in MSFT’s Dynamics 365 for finance and operations. The company recently signed an extended collaboration agreement with its long-standing partner, Amazon’s AWS, to accelerate the migration of its clients from on-premise to the cloud ecosystem.
A robust demand environment, along with its sustained focus on expanding its market presence and enhancing partnerships, is driving Tyler’s financial performance. In the first quarter of 2024, its revenues and non-GAAP EPS soared 8.6% and 25%, respectively, on a year-over-year basis.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2024 revenues is pegged at $2.12 billion, reflecting a year-over-year increase of 8.8%. The consensus mark for earnings has been revised upward by 4 cents to $9.19 per share over the past 60 days and indicates a 17.8% improvement from the prior-year level.

Near-Term Challenges
Tyler faces near-term challenges, including delayed procurement processes and lengthening sales cycles, caused by ongoing macroeconomic uncertainties. Many of its customers are wary of a probable economic slowdown that is evident from their low budget allocation for digital transformation.
TYL competes with industry leaders like Oracle ORCL and SAP across various markets. These include Public Sector Cloud, PeopleSoft ERP solution, JD Edwards by Oracle and S/4HANA, SuccessFactors, Ariba, Analytics Cloud and Integrated Business Planning by SAP.
The competition from Oracle and SAP forces TYL to continuously invest in research and development. Moreover, the rising competition keeps Tyler’s product pricing under pressure, affecting its gross margin.
