Revere Data™ Introduces Enhanced Utilities Sector Coverage ::

May 03, 2006

New York, May 3, 2006 – Revere Data™ LLC, a fast-growing provider of independent research data and investment analytics, today announced significant enhancements to its coverage of the U.S. Utilities sector. Revere Data customers now have access to more detailed analysis of natural gas, electric, and water utilities companies.

Revere Data’s enhanced Utility sector mapping and coverage is designed to associate power and water utilities with the specific geographic regions in which they operate. The Revere research team mapped the subsidiaries of over 150 publicly-traded Utilities companies against a geographic hierarchy consisting of every U.S. state and key international regions. For example, users can now not only identify all natural gas utilities, but actually separate companies with activities in Illinois from those in California or New Jersey.

“Utilities have attracted significant attention from the institutional investment community over the last few years,” noted Brian Hill, Director of Research for Revere Data. “In response, Revere has developed a geographic analysis of the industry participants that provides much greater transparency and visibility into Utilities companies and sub-sector movements than any other classification system.”

“This enhanced analysis of the U.S. Utilities sector represents another step in helping our customers search for, discover, organize and act upon unique investment ideas faster and with much greater ease”, said Kevin E. O’Brien, Chief Executive Officer of Revere Data. “Revere already provides detailed geographic analysis of the U.S. Banking and Energy sectors. We believe better visibility into the impact of geography on companies in the Utilities sector can benefit the portfolio construction, performance measurement, and risk management capabilities of many of our customers. Soon Revere will take this analysis to the next level by providing normalized geographic sales data for virtually all U.S. publicly traded companies.”

Revere Data offers clients the flexibility to access its exclusive content through Revere Research, a user-friendly web based platform, or through Revere Datafeeds, data files that can be integrated into research and trading applications as well as a customers internal algorithms, or proprietary models. With both applications, users gain access to Revere Data’s intelligent database of U.S. publicly-traded companies and ADR’s not available through other research providers.
