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.
