TRANSACTIONAL REVENUE
GovTech M&A activity has been robust over the last several years with both strategic and financial buyers deploying significant capital into the sector. Strategic acquisition activity has been led by Tyler Technologies, completing 23 acquisitions over the last decade and 11 acquisitions since 2016. Tyler’s most notable recent activity was the acquisition of MicroPact Inc., an Arlington Capital Partners portfolio company, for $195M. A heightened level of private equity activity in the sector has continued to fuel a number of PE-sponsored roll-ups, strategic M&A, and secondary sponsor trades.
Private equity, now with more than $2 trillion in dry powder, continues to be exceptionally active in the GovTech space. Investment activity and strong participation in M&A processes continues to be driven by favorable industry trends, such as increasing government IT spend and adoption of Cloud technologies, a growing ecosystem of emerging Cloud application vendors offering alternatives to antiquated legacy enterprise systems, infrastructure spending forecasts, and a highly fragmented vendor ecosystem that presents attractive roll-up opportunities. Since 2016, private equity firms have acquired or invested in more than 40 new GovTech platforms.
Notable private equity activity since January 2018 includes the consolidation of Superion, Aptean, & TriTech into CentralSquare Technologies by Bain Capital and Vista Equity Partners. CentralSquare Technologies alongside its capital partners then went on to acquire Lucity in January of 2019. Clearlake Capital was also active in the GovTech market with the acquisition of Dude Solutions from Warburg Pincus and a growth investment in Appriss alongside existing investor, Insight Venture Partners.
Additionally, Polaris Partners added to its GovTech stable with the acquisition of platform company Emergency Reporting in April 2019.
GLC expects consolidation in the GovTech sector to continue at notable levels through 2020, driven by the increasing number of institutionally-owned strategics continuing
to canvass a highly fragmented market of independent GovTech software vendors and service providers.

Enterprise Value to LTM Revenue Multiple by Software Sector
PUBLIC MARKETS: TYLER TECHNOLOGIES
Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) continues to tradeat a revenue multiple premium to the general softwaremarket (GLC software sector groups are comprised of89 publicly traded software companies), hoveringabove 8.0x EV / LTM Revenue. With the stock up 18%year-to-date, and coming on the heels of seven M&Atransactions (including Socrata in the data-as-a-servicesolutions space and MicroPact in the case and business
process management space), newly appointed CEO,Lynn Moore, is aggressively moving Tyler forward as theclear leader in the space. Lynn has been with TYL for 20years and has played a pivotal role in TYL’s corporatestrategy, including overseeing the Company’s M&Astrategy and execution. We believe TYL’s ability tosustain an EV / LTM Revenue multiple above 8.0x is astrong indicator of the market’s belief in GovTech’sprospects as a sector.

• Citizen satisfaction and citizen-facing application growth driven by next generation 311
systems and portals that serve as vital links between citizens and their governments.
• Effective citizen engagement becoming increasingly critical to efficiently running
government.
• Overdue capital and technology investment requirements due to siloed and disparate
systems that are often antiquated and vulnerable to cyber breaches and a
preponderance of paper and spreadsheet-based record keeping.
• Improving decision making, augmenting talents of skilled workers, and automating tasks
that were previously regarded as impossible due to reliance on human knowledge and
experience is dramatically impacting the way governments do business.
• The way users expect to “consume” software has changed as a result of wireless
technologies, low-cost mobile computing, and internet connectivity.
• The rise of connectivity that enables superior monitoring and mass data collection to
support BI and analytics-driven decision making.
• Smart-city initiatives and planning.
• Long sales cycles mitigated by Cloud and “by-the-drink” ASPs.
• Cost optimization and technology modernization efforts are pushing government to the
Cloud.

A fragmented landscape with disparate decision-making processes is an opportunity for some vendors and a challenge to others. Agency-specific offerings (Parks & Rec or Asset/Operations Management, for example) are largely sponsored by the user, but must still go through procurement, while more general or broadly used offerings (portals or websites, for example) can have a variety of decision-makers in the process.
