THIRD QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS

ROANOKE, Va. (July 31, 2013)—RGC Resources, Inc. (NASDAQ: RGCO) announced consolidated Company earnings of $110,103 or $0.02 per average share outstanding for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. This compares to consolidated earnings of $52,298 or $0.01 per average share outstanding for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. CFO Paul Nester attributed the slight increase in earnings to higher gross margins from space heating sales volumes as a result of a cooler spring season.

Earnings for the twelve months ending June 30, 2013 were $4,289,191 or $0.91 per share compared to $0.94 per share for the twelve months ended June 30, 2012. Nester attributed the lower year-over-year earnings primarily to the effect of higher depreciation and property tax expenses associated with the Company’s pipeline replacement program.
