eLoyalty Announces Significant Contract Signings and an Update on Previously Disclosed Contract


LAKE FOREST, IL--(Marketwire - October 30, 2008) - eLoyalty Corporation (NASDAQ: ELOY), a leading enterprise customer relationship management services and solutions company, today announced the signing of four contract renewals and an update to a recently signed contract.

The four contract renewals are for Integrated Contact Solutions (ICS), and underscore the value of eLoyalty's core capabilities to design, implement, operate and support complex Contact Center solutions.

These wins are significant because they add to eLoyalty's Managed Services backlog and they help solidify the visibility of eLoyalty's fourth quarter 2008 services revenue.

The four contracts, (with a major research laboratory supply company, a state agency, a large financial institution, and an energy company) total approximately $6.5 million consisting of the following components:

--  $4.4 million of managed services revenue, expected to be recognized
    through the fourth quarter of 2009
--  $2.1 million of managed services revenue, expected to be recognized
    through the second quarter of 2011
    

In its September 10, 2008 press release, eLoyalty announced the signing of a contract with a large specialty retailer. Subsequent to that announcement, the consulting services portion of that contract was increased by approximately $0.8 million, which will be recognized in the fourth quarter of 2008 and first half of 2009. However, due to sourcing delays from a third party, and revenue recognition rules, eLoyalty now expects to defer approximately $3.6 million in Software Resale and $0.2 million in Service Revenues related to this contract from third quarter 2008 to fourth quarter 2008.
