    Business Editors

    PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 9, 2005--Corillian Corp. (Nasdaq:CORI), the top provider of online banking solutions to leading financial institutions, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2004.
    Revenues for 2004 were $50.8 million, compared to $46.1 million for 2003, an increase of 10 percent. Net income for 2004 was $10.5 million, resulting in diluted earnings per share of $0.26. This compares to net income of $5.1 million in 2003, resulting in diluted earnings per share of $0.14, a growth in earnings per share of 86 percent.
    Revenues for the fourth quarter were $13.2 million, compared to $12.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2003, a growth rate of 8 percent. Net income for the quarter was $3.3 million, resulting in diluted earnings per share of $0.08, compared to net income for the comparable prior year period of $2.1 million, which resulted in diluted earnings per share of $0.05 for the fourth quarter of 2003.
    Cash and investment balances at the end of the fourth quarter were $39.4 million, compared to $26.8 million at the end of 2003, an increase of over 40 percent.
    "I am pleased with our progress in 2004," said Alex Hart, Corillian's president and CEO. "We delivered strong financial results, particularly in terms of net income and earnings per share, and entered 2005 with almost $40 million in cash and investments. We introduced a number of new and enhanced products and services in the second half of 2004 that provide us with more products to sell to our prospects and existing customers and that allow us to more cost-effectively reach a larger number of financial institutions. We expanded our customer list, highlighted by the signing of Wachovia, the nation's fourth largest bank, and expanded our relationships with a number of existing customers. We also launched the Corillian Fraud Detection System and saw great traction in the adoption of this industry-leading fraud prevention solution. I was, however, disappointed with the number of new customer relationships we signed in the second half of 2004. As a result, I have changed our sales approach so that I can get more personally involved in the sales process and broaden our sales coverage to take advantage of the new opportunities that our expanded product capabilities are generating. I am confident that this change will enable us to build on the success of 2004 and generate better sales results in 2005."
