“Notable adds in the quarter included Redcare Pharmacy, MIPS and Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:TYL). Tyler Technologies provides end-to-end information management solutions and services for local government offices throughout the US, Canada, Puerto Rico and the UK. We believe the company will generate durable growth given its defensive end markets, the durability of its cloud subscription transition (it just started transitioning legacy on-premises customers in 2019) and the transformative acquisition of NIC (a leading digital government solutions and payments company) that allows for increased cross-sell opportunities. Earnings results were thesis affirming as the company guided for revenue growth tracking toward our expectations and provided evidence of an inflection in free cash flow generation.”
