FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS

ROANOKE, Va. (February 5, 2013)RGC Resources, Inc. (NASDAQ: RGCO) announced consolidated Company earnings of $1,554,153 or $0.33 per average share outstanding for the quarter ended December 31, 2012. This compares to consolidated earnings of $1,834,912 or $0.40 per average share outstanding for the quarter ended December 31, 2011. President and CEO John Williamson attributed the decrease in earnings to a decrease in gross margins and higher operating expenses.

Earnings for the twelve months ending December 31, 2012 were $4,015,986 or $0.86 per share compared to $4,519,021 or $0.98 per share for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011. Williamson attributed the decrease in earnings to significantly warmer weather reducing heating sales volumes and higher operating expenses.
