THE CORPORATE EXECUTIVE BOARD REPORTS FOURTH-QUARTER RESULTS,
PROVIDES 2011 GUIDANCE AND INCREASES QUARTERLY CASH DIVIDEND

Arlington, Virginia — (February 9, 2011) — The Corporate Executive Board Company (“CEB” or the “Company”) (NYSE: EXBD) today announces financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2010. Revenues increased 8.4% to $117.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2010 from $108.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2009. Net income and Adjusted net income for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $10.8 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, compared to net income of $13.4 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, for the same period of 2009. Adjusted net income was $13.7 million and Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share was $0.40 for the fourth quarter of 2009, which excludes the after-tax effects of restructuring costs and gain on acquisition (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures below).

For 2010, revenues were $438.9 million, a 0.9% decrease from $442.9 million for 2009. Net income for 2010 decreased to $40.4 million from $45.6 million for 2009. Diluted earnings per share for 2010 was $1.17, a decrease from $1.33 for 2009. Adjusted net income was $48.2 million and Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share was $1.40 for 2010, compared to Adjusted net income of $57.7 million and Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $1.68 for 2009 (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures below).

Contract Value at December 31, 2010 increased 13.5% to $447.1 million compared to December 31, 2009 as a result of improved cross-sales of large corporate memberships, the acquisition of Iconoculture, and an increase in the purchase of memberships by middle market clients. As previously discussed, growth from these factors was offset to some degree by reductions in Contract Value as a result of discontinued programs. The average cross-sell ratio was 2.96, reflecting cross-sell ratios of 3.41 for the traditional large corporate market and 1.88 for middle market customers.

“We are pleased with the progress we made against our core priorities in 2010,” said Thomas Monahan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Through their energy and focus, our teams around the world delivered on our financial commitments, maintained our relentless dedication to serving critical member needs, and laid the foundation for continued, sustainable growth.

For 2011 and beyond, we’ll help member companies drive higher levels of performance with our uniquely valuable insights and data, actionable tools, and engaging service. Our 2011 plan calls for us to balance continued growth and strong profitability with select investments in new products and markets.”

OUTLOOK FOR 2011

The Company announces 2011 annual guidance as follows: Revenues of $475 to $495 million; Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $1.45 to $1.65; Depreciation and amortization expense of $17.0 to $18.0 million; capital expenditures of approximately $8.0 to $10.0 million; and an Adjusted EBITDA margin of between 22.0% and 23.5%.

QUARTERLY DIVIDEND

CEB is increasing its quarterly dividend 36% to $0.15 from $0.11 per share. The Company will fund its dividend payments with cash on hand and cash generated from operations. The dividend is payable on March 31, 2011 to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 15, 2011.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This press release and the accompanying tables include a discussion of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income, and Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, which are non-GAAP financial measures provided as a complement to the results provided in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The term “EBITDA” refers to a financial measure that we define as earnings before interest income, net, depreciation and amortization, and provision for income taxes. The term “Adjusted EBITDA” refers to a financial measure that we define as earnings before interest income, net, depreciation and amortization, provision for income taxes, impairment loss, costs associated with exit activities, restructuring costs, and gain on acquisition. The term “Adjusted net income” refers to net income excluding the after tax effects of impairment loss, costs associated with exit activities, restructuring costs, and gain on acquisition. “Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share” refers to diluted earnings per share excluding the after tax per share effects of impairment loss, costs associated with exit activities, restructuring costs, and gain on acquisition.

These non-GAAP measures may be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but they should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. We intend to continue to provide these non-GAAP financial measures as part of our future earnings discussions and, therefore, the inclusion of these non-GAAP financial measures will provide consistency in our financial reporting. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to GAAP results is provided below.

With respect to the Company’s 2011 annual guidance, reconciliations of Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share to GAAP diluted earnings per share, Adjusted net income to net income and Adjusted EBITDA to net income as projected for 2011 are not provided because CEB cannot, without unreasonable effort, determine the components of GAAP diluted earnings per share and net income to provide reconciliations to Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share and Adjusted EBITDA for its 2011 fiscal year with certainty at this time.

We believe that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income, and Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share are relevant and useful supplemental information for our investors. We use these non-GAAP financial measures for internal budgeting and other managerial purposes, when publicly providing the Company’s business outlook and as a measurement for potential acquisitions. A limitation associated with EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is that they do not reflect the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues in our business. Management evaluates the costs of such tangible and intangible assets through other financial measures such as capital expenditures. Management compensates for these limitations by also relying on the comparable GAAP financial measure of income from operations, which includes depreciation and amortization.
