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: $25.0m in 2010; $37.0m in 2011; $25.2m in 2012;
  $16.4m in 2013 and thereafter.
