THIRD QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS

ROANOKE, Va. (August 2, 2012)—RGC Resources, Inc. (NASDAQ: RGCO) announced consolidated Company earnings of $52,298 or $0.01 per average share outstanding for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. This compares to consolidated earnings of $184,617 or $0.04 per average share outstanding for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. President, Chairman and CEO John Williamson attributed the lower earnings to a decline in space heating sales volumes as a result of warm weather.

Earnings for the trailing twelve months ending June 30, 2012 were $4,350,195 or $0.94 per share compared to $4,522,467 or $0.99 per share for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2011. Williamson attributed the lower year-over-year earnings primarily to the effect of significantly warmer weather during the winter heating season and higher depreciation expense associated with the Company’s pipeline replacement program.
