- Cash flow from operations was $16.9 million, up 37.8 percent compared to $12.3 million for the second quarter of 2014.

- Total backlog was $723.0 million, up 10.4 percent from $654.7 million at June 30, 2014. Software-related backlog (excluding appraisal services) was $672.4 million, an increase of 8.6 percent compared to $619.1 million at June 30, 2014.
“Tyler Technologies again achieved outstanding results in the second quarter, exceeding our expectations for both revenues and earnings,” said John S. Marr Jr., Tyler’s president and chief executive officer. “All of our major revenue lines grew by more than 14 percent, with software licenses and royalties, subscriptions, and appraisal services revenues each growing more than 20 percent. As expected, we experienced pressure on gross margins associated with onboarding of new professional services and development staff to support our growing backlog, including an increase in total headcount of 212 in the first half of 2015. Nonetheless, we expanded our operating margin and non-GAAP operating margin by 120 and 150 basis points, respectively, as we continue to gain leverage in our SG&A and R&D expenses.
“As we’ve previously discussed, this quarter presented a very difficult bookings comparison, as the second quarter of 2014 included approximately $64 million of new contracts in California for our Odyssey® court case management solution. Lumpy bookings, especially with respect to large contracts, are simply a characteristic of our business. However, excluding the California Odyssey signings in last year’s second quarter, bookings rose 3 percent this quarter and 12 percent on a trailing 12 month basis.
“Tyler’s backlog reached a new high of $723 million at June 30. The new business pipeline remains active and our competitive position in the marketplace continues to be very strong. With our robust performance for the first half of the year and current outlook for the remainder of 2015, we have again raised our earnings guidance for the full year.”
