THIRD QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS

ROANOKE, Va. (August 9, 2011)—RGC Resources, Inc. (NASDAQ: RGCO) announced consolidated Company earnings of $184,617 or $0.08 per average share outstanding for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. This compares to consolidated earnings of $13,466 or $0.01 per average share outstanding for the quarter ended June 30, 2010. President, Chairman and CEO John Williamson attributed the increase in earnings to an improvement in gross margin from higher space heating sales volumes as a result of a colder spring and the implementation of a non-gas rate increase in November.

Earnings for the trailing twelve months ending June 30, 2011 were $4,522,467 or $1.98 per share compared to $4,735,528 or $2.11 per share for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2010. Williamson attributed the lower year-over-year earnings primarily to the effect in the prior period of a one-time credit to depreciation expense associated with implementing updated plant depreciation rates in the September 30, 2009 quarter end.
