SNL Financial Makes 2008 Inc. 5000 List of Fastest Growing Private Companies

With 2007 revenues of more than $66 million, SNL is the largest Charlottesville-based company on the list.

Charlottesville, Va. (August 20, 2008) – Inc. Magazine today released its list of the 5,000 fastest growing private companies in the United States, and SNL Financial was one of four Charlottesville-based companies to make the list, and the largest, with 2007 revenues of $66.6 million, an increase of 106 percent over three years.

SNL ranked number 3,213 on the list, which is based upon the 3-year revenue growth rate through 2007. Within the state of Virginia, there were 27 privately-held, high-growth companies on the list with revenues of $50 million or more, and SNL ranked 17th in this group.

Mike Chinn, SNL’s president, commented that "making the Inc. list is simply acknowledgement of SNL’s continued growth and success as a high-tech information company. Our key ingredient is our people – a professional workforce of 1,000 employees based in 9 cities across the world. Charlottesville, where 400 of us work and live, is a great place to be headquartered – vibrant, progressive and business-friendly".
