Revised 2003 Earnings Guidance

UIL

Revised earnings guidance for UIL is $1.90 - $2.00 per share, reduced from the previous estimate of $2.20 - $2.35 per share. The estimated decline is a result of lower than expected earnings from the non-utility businesses, particularly at Xcelecom.

The United Illuminating Company

UI is expected to earn $2.55 - $2.65 per share in 2003, as compared to the previously reported estimate of $2.50 - $2.60 per share. The increase in the earnings guidance is due to a warmer August than had been expected by the Company when it last issued earnings guidance.
