Forward Guidance
We anticipate a greater impact from COVID-19 in the second and third quarters. As a result, we are suspending guidance until we have more clarity around the ultimate severity, duration and impact of the pandemic. We currently expect to have greater clarity by the time we report our second quarter results.
Positive Outlook
- Recurring revenues, which comprise approximately 70% of our total revenues, will not be significantly affected.
- We expect to continue to invest in product development and accelerating our move to the cloud at levels consistent with our initial plans for the year.
- We value the experience and expertise of our employees and do not expect to eliminate any positions.
- Tyler's mission-critical software and services power essential functions of government, and the fundamental demand for our products will remain strong in the long term.
- Technology is an increasingly critical factor in helping government function effectively, especially during this time.
Challenges Ahead
- We have not seen meaningful cancellations, but continue to see delays in procurement processes and lengthening sales cycles, as public sector entities focus on issues related to the pandemic.
- Many of our clients will face near-term budget pressures.
- We can deliver the majority of our professional services remotely, but expect to continue to see lower services revenues as some projects are delayed by client availability and billable travel is reduced.
- Approximately $6 million of revenues classified as "hardware and other revenues" will be also eliminated in the second quarter as a result of the cancellation of our Connect conference.
- Incremental hiring will be reduced somewhat from our original plans.
