FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS
ROANOKE, Va. (February 4, 2014)—RGC Resources, Inc. (NASDAQ: RGCO) announced consolidated Company earnings of $1,722,788 or $0.37 per average share outstanding for the quarter ended December 31, 2013. This compares to consolidated earnings of $1,554,153 or $0.33 per average share outstanding for the quarter ended December 31, 2012. CFO Paul Nester attributed the higher earnings to improved utility margins resulting from higher heating sales volume.
Earnings for the twelve months ending December 31, 2013 were $4,430,687 or $0.94 per share compared to $4,015,986 or $0.86 per share for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012. Nester attributed the increase in earnings to higher heating sales volumes and unit margin.

From time to time, the Company may publish forward-looking statements relating to such matters as anticipated financial performance, business prospects, technological developments, new products, research and development activities and similar matters. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements. In order to comply with the terms of the safe harbor, the Company notes that a variety of factors could cause the Company’s actual results and experience to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the Company’s forward-looking statements.
Net income for the three months ended December 31, 2013 are not indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2014 as quarterly earnings are affected by the highly seasonal nature of the business and weather conditions generally result in greater earnings during the winter months. Past performance is not necessarily a predictor of future results.
