Recent press releases and 8-K filings for TYL.
- Cloud migration on track, targeting >80% of on-prem clients moved by 2030 with peak migrations in 2027–28 and incentives like version consolidation and enhanced maintenance pricing.
- New SaaS bookings in 2025 moderated versus 2024’s record year due to lumpiness of large deals, ARPA fund pull-forwards and early-year pauses from DOGE tariff uncertainties.
- AI investments ramping in 2026 to embed functionality into core products, with AI tools (e.g., document automation) delivering 2–3× labor savings and driving incremental ARR, supported by partnerships and selective AI-focused M&A.
- Cross-sell and new logos remain growth pillars, serving 15,000 jurisdictions vs. a 50,000-jurisdiction market, backed by a new state-focused sales team and four tuck-in acquisitions in 2025.
- Free cash flow margin guidance maintained at ~25–27% for 2026, reflecting strong cash conversion and ahead-of-plan progress toward 2030 targets.
- 2025 operational progress: advanced multi-year cloud transition—migrating on-prem clients to SaaS with a goal of >80% cloud adoption by 2030—and closed four tuck-in acquisitions to bolster school ERP, courts, public safety, and community development offerings.
- New SaaS ARR dynamics: 2024 bookings were record-high driven by lumpiness and ARPA pull-forwards; 2025 growth moderated on a tougher comp, stimulus-fund timing shifts, and early-year market pauses from DOGE tariff uncertainty.
- AI and R&D investment: planning elevated 2026 R&D spend focused on AI-enabled products (e.g., document automation, priority-based budgeting, resident engagement portals), combining internal development with selective M&A to embed AI across core solutions.
- Financial outlook: reaffirmed 25%–27% free cash flow margin range for 2026, reflecting strong operational leverage, sustained cash generation, and partial headwinds as Section 174 tax credit benefits normalize.
- Tyler completed four tuck-in acquisitions in 2025 (school ERP, electronic warrants, Emergency Networking, MyGov) to expand its public sector software suite and remains on track for its 2030 revenue and margin goals.
- New SaaS bookings in 2025 were below 2024’s exceptional levels due to a tough comp of large deals, ARPA-funding pull-forwards, and market pauses around DOGE tariffs, but the pipeline is normalized for a recovery in 2026.
- Management is focused on growing SaaS ARR through new logo wins, on-prem to cloud migrations (targeting >80% of on-prem clients by 2030), and cross-sell initiatives to increase products per customer.
- Tyler is investing heavily in AI integration—such as document automation and priority-based budgeting—and elevated AI-driven R&D spend, viewing AI as a catalyst for revenue growth rather than a threat to its systems of record.
- 2026 SaaS revenue growth is guided at ~20%, comprising 12% backlog (signed by YE 2025), 5% new bookings and 3% flips from on-prem migrations.
- Management will focus on new ARR additions as the key forward-looking metric, noting that total bookings can be distorted by contract term variations, revenue recognition lags and transaction-based deals.
- On-prem maintenance revenues (~$450 M) are expected to convert at 1.7–1.8× into SaaS over the next several years, with the flips curve peaking in 2–3 years and 80–85% migration to cloud by 2030.
- Targets include 30%+ operating margin and high-20s to 30% free cash flow margin by 2030; 2026 margin gains will moderate due to strategic investments, while free cash flow is bolstered by cloud transition efficiencies and R&D tax expensing.
- Having repaid term debt, Tyler plans to redeem its $600 M convert in March and shift capital allocation toward M&A and opportunistic share repurchases.
- CFO guides ~20% SaaS revenue growth in 2026, driven by 12% from existing signed backlog, 5% from new bookings, and 3% from on-prem to SaaS flips.
- Shifting to year-end ARR as the key forward-looking metric for SaaS health, replacing multiple bookings measurements for clarity.
- On-prem maintenance customers expected to convert at a 1.7–1.8x uplift, with flips peaking in roughly 2–3 years as part of the Tyler 2030 roadmap.
- Maintains target of >30% operating margin by 2030 (≈100 bps annual improvement), noting 2026 margin gains will be more modest amid cloud migration and AI/client-experience investments.
- Projects high-20% to 30% free cash flow margins by 2030, boosted by the shift to SaaS/transactional revenues and the Section 174 tax change; plans to repay a $600 M convertible in March before prioritizing M&A and opportunistic buybacks.
- CFO Brian Miller expects ~20% SaaS revenue growth in 2026, with 12% from already-signed backlog, 5% from new bookings and 3% from on-premise-to-cloud migrations (“flips”).
- Tyler will emphasize end-of-quarter run-rate ARR as its primary forward-looking SaaS metric, simplifying from multiple bookings measures.
- The company remains on track for 30%+ operating margins by 2030, though 2026 margin expansion will moderate due to continued AI, client experience and cloud-optimization investments.
- Tyler plans to repay its $600 M convertible note by March, then shift focus to strategic M&A and opportunistic share buybacks, supported by $1.1 B cash and robust free cash flow.
- Stable public-sector demand with leading indicators like RFP volumes at elevated levels; minimal impact from federal shutdown or policy shifts.
- Domain-specific AI focus, automating repetitive tasks in key workflows (e.g., Document Automation in courts) with examples like Hillsborough County projecting over $2 million savings versus a $950 k SaaS fee.
- Accelerating cloud migration, currently ~50/50 on-prem/cloud, aiming for over 80% cloud adoption by 2030; driven by hardware refresh cycles, staffing and security concerns.
- Version consolidation efforts reduce sprawl to two main releases per product, targeting a single-version cloud platform within about two years to drive support and development efficiencies.
- Cross-sell and client experience initiatives, targeting 8–10 solutions per client (average of 2–3 today), led by a new Chief Client Officer role and measured by mean time to resolution and net revenue retention.

- Emphasized domain-specific AI initiatives, leveraging decades of public sector expertise and data from 15,000 clients to automate repetitive tasks in areas such as courts and permitting.

- Cloud migration on track: ~50/50 on-prem vs. cloud today, aiming for 80%+ cloud adoption by 2030 with average billing uplift of ~1.7×–1.8× per migration.
- Driving cross-sell and upsell, targeting 8–10 products per customer through initiatives like a new Chief Client Officer role and unified client engagement systems.
- Tyler reports a stable, elevated demand environment in state and local government, with RFP volume and pipeline activity remaining consistent despite early-year funding and administrative disruptions.
- The company emphasizes domain-specific AI as a competitive moat, initially automating repetitive public-sector workflows (e.g., Document Automation in courts), with cases like Hillsborough County expecting >$2 M annual labor savings on a $950 K SaaS investment.
- 50 % of Tyler’s customer base is now cloud-based, targeting >80 % by 2030, with migrations driven by hardware refresh cycles, IT staffing challenges, and security concerns, and peaking in the next 2–3 years.
