eLoyalty Announces First Quarter 2011 Results

LAKE FOREST, IL, May 12, 2011 – eLoyalty Corporation (Nasdaq: ELOY), a leading Behavioral Analytics services and Integrated Contact Solutions company, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended April 2, 2011.

On March 17, 2011, eLoyalty Corporation signed a definitive agreement to sell its Integrated Contact Solutions (“ICS”) business unit and “eLoyalty” registered trademark / trade name to a subsidiary of TeleTech Holdings, Inc. As a result, the company has classified the ICS business unit as discontinued operations and the associated results of operations, financial position, and cash flows have been separately recorded as appropriate.

The table below describes the Q1 2011 performance of each of eLoyalty’s business units:

 

     Behavioral
Analytics
  ICS    Total
    

Services Revenues

   $6.5m   $10.8m    $17.3m

Total Revenues

   $6.6m   $13.7m    $20.3m

Business Unit Margin

   ($0.8m)   $2.1m    $1.3m

The company incurred General and Administrative costs in Q1 of approximately $3.4 million, excluding stock-based compensation costs of $0.3 million. This total includes approximately $1.5 million of costs related to the ICS divestiture.

ICS Divestiture

Subject to the vote of eLoyalty’s shareholders on May 19th and other customary closing conditions, eLoyalty expects to complete the ICS divestiture prior to the end of Q2 2011. The proceeds of this transaction, after adjustments for prepaid contracts and working capital, are currently expected to be approximately $34.5 million. Transaction costs and taxes associated with this divestiture are estimated to be approximately $4.2 million.

Mattersight Launch

Upon completion of the divesture of the ICS business, the remaining entity will operate under the name Mattersight Corporation. Mattersight will be a leader in enterprise analytics as a service. The cornerstone of the company’s business is its Behavioral Analytics Service. Behavioral Analytics captures, analyzes, and creates insight from unstructured conversations, emails, and employee desktop activity.

Mattersight has the foundational building blocks in place to become a highly successful company, including:

Enterprise Analytics Footprint: The company applies millions of proprietary algorithms to previously unstructured and unanalyzed customer and employee interactions. The company’s analytics are used in service, sales and collections calls centers. The company has also deployed analytics applications for Fraud; Customer Retention and the Back Office.

 

   

Analytics as a Service in the Cloud: Mattersight’s analytics are delivered in the cloud and virtually all of the company’s revenues are recurring.

 

   

Significant Returns for Our Customers: The company’s unique analytics and delivery model generates 2x to 10x returns for the company’s customers.

 

   

Impressive Customer List: The company has built an impressive customer list including, 3 of the top 5 HMOs; 3 of the top 4 Property & Casualty companies; the 3rd largest retail bank; and 1 of the 2 largest Prescription Benefit Management companies.

 

   

Large and Sticky Customer Relationships: The company’s average revenue per customer is in excess of $1 million per year. The company’s typical contract is between $3 million and $20 million and runs for an initial duration of 3 to 5 years, with a number of the company’s earliest customers having signed extensions of an additional 3 to 5 years.

 

   

Significant Revenue Visibility: The company has Contract Backlog¹ of $80.1 million, and its revenue retention rate is 95%.

 

   

Increasing Revenue Momentum: The company signed approximately $42 million of contracts in the last three quarters and continues to have a strong pipeline.

Mattersight will operate under the “See What Matters” tagline and will launch its new brand immediately following the closing of the ICS divestiture. Mattersight’s trading symbol for its common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market will be “MATR”.

Mattersight Overview and Outlook

Based on strong bookings the company achieved in the last two quarters of 2010, and its continuing strong pipeline, the company expects Mattersight to achieve a significant increase in its subscription revenues over the remainder of 2011.

The strong revenue growth over the next three quarters is expected to drive significant operating leverage. Offsetting some of this increased operating leverage, will be the investments the company expects to make to build Mattersight’s sales team and develop additional product functionality.

In addition, the company expects to significantly reduce Mattersight’s G&A costs. These costs, excluding stock-based compensation, are expected to decrease from $1.9 million in Q1 2011 to approximately $1.4 million in Q4 2011 (stock-based compensation is anticipated to be $0.2 million in Q4 2011).

Q2 Guidance

The company currently expects its Q2 Behavioral Analytics services revenues will be approximately $6.7 million and its Q2 ICS services revenues will be approximately $12.0 million.

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: $19.6m in 2011; $27.0m in 2012; $19.4m in 2013; $14.1m in 2014 and thereafter.
