SECOND QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS

ROANOKE, Va. (May 3, 2012)—RGC Resources, Inc. (NASDAQ: RGCO) announced consolidated Company earnings of $2,483,307 or $0.54 per average share outstanding for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. This compares to consolidated earnings of $2,519,814 or $0.55 per average share outstanding for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. President, Chairman and CEO John Williamson attributed the slight decrease in earnings to a reduction in gross margin from lower space heating sales volumes as a result of a significantly warmer winter season.

Earnings for the twelve months ending March 31, 2012 were $4,482,514 or $0.97 per share compared to $0.96 per share for the twelve months ended March 31, 2011.
