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. 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.
