eLoyalty Corporation (NASDAQ: ELOY), a leading Integrated Contact Solutions and Behavioral Analytics™ services company, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter ended January 1, 2011.

For the fourth quarter of 2010, total revenue was $22.8 million and the net loss was $2.3 million. The net loss available to common shareholders was $0.19 per share. eLoyalty realized "Adjusted Earnings(1)" income of $0.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2010. Adjusted Earnings is a non-GAAP measure. For a reconciliation of Adjusted Earnings to operating loss, see the accompanying schedule.

eLoyalty's normal quarterly accounting cycle is thirteen weeks. As this cycle does not align with a calendar year, every six years a fourteenth week is included in our fourth quarter. The impact of the fourteenth week in the fourth quarter of 2010 is shown below:

-- Favorably impacted Managed Services revenues by $0.7 million
-- Favorably impacted Consulting Services revenues by $0.1 million
-- Adversely impacted "Adjusted EarningsĀ¹" by $0.3 million

The following is a summary of revenue by major component:

Safe Harbor Statement

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements regarding anticipated financial results and other matters that are not strictly historical in nature. These forward-looking statements are based on current management expectations, forecasts and assumptions, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. The risks, uncertainties and other factors that might cause such a difference include those described under "Forward-Looking Statements" and "Risk Factors" in eLoyalty's Form 10-K, Form 10-Q and other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. They reflect opinions, assumptions and estimates only as of the date they are made, and eLoyalty Corporation undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any of these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or circumstances or otherwise.

(1) eLoyalty presents Adjusted Earnings, a non-GAAP measure that represents cash earnings performance, excluding the impact of non-cash expenses and expense reduction activities, because management believes that Adjusted Earnings provide investors with a better understanding of the results of eLoyalty's operations. Management believes that Adjusted Earnings reflect eLoyalty's resources available to invest in its business and strengthen its balance sheet. In addition, expense reduction activities can vary significantly between periods on the basis of factors that management does not believe reflect current-period operating performance. Although similar adjustments for expense reduction activities may be recorded in future periods, the size and frequency of these adjustments cannot be predicted. The Adjusted Earnings measure should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, operating income, cash flows or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

(2) eLoyalty uses the term "backlog" to reflect the estimated future amount of Managed services revenue related to its Managed services contracts. The value of these contracts is based on anticipated usage volumes over the anticipated term of the agreement. The anticipated term of the agreement is based on the contractually agreed fixed term of the contract, plus agreed upon, but optional, extension periods. Anticipated volumes may be greater or less than anticipated. In addition, these contracts typically are cancellable without cause based on the customer making a substantial early termination payment or forfeiture of prepaid contract amounts. The reported backlog is expected to be recognized as follows: $50.6m in 2011; $39.2m in 2012; $23.9m in 2013; $16.6m in 2014 and thereafter.
