ANNUAL AND FOURTH QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS
ROANOKE, Va. (November 22, 2011)—RGC Resources, Inc. (NASDAQ: RGCO) announced consolidated Company earnings of $4,653,473 or $1.01 per average share outstanding for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011. This compares to consolidated earnings of $4,445,436 or $0.98 per average share outstanding for the year ended September 30, 2010. President, Chairman and CEO John Williamson attributed the improvement in earnings to increased natural gas deliveries to industrial customers and a rate increase implemented early in the year.
The Company had a net loss of $20,322 or less than one half cent per average share outstanding compared to a loss of $151,328 or $0.03 per average share outstanding for the corresponding quarter ended September 30, 2010. The majority of the Company’s sales occur in the winter months and as a result, the Company’s third and fourth quarters normally reflect minor net losses. Williamson attributed the improvement in the current quarter to higher sales to industrial customers and a rate increase.
