NATIONAL BANKSHARES, INC. ANNOUNCES EARNINGS FOR 2014

 

BLACKSBURG, VA, FEBRUARY 19, 2015:  National Bankshares, Inc. (NASDAQ Capital Market: NKSH) today announced its results of operations for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2014. The Company reported net income of $16.91 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, a decrease from the $17.79 million earned in 2013.

Commenting on the Company’s financial results, National Bankshares Chairman, President & CEO James G.

The low interest rate environment and relatively flat loan demand continue to compress our margins which impact our bottom-line. We remain focused on expense containment, asset quality and continuing to be true to our community banking roots by providing our customers with the very best products and services we can offer. The Company remains a strong performing institution as we look toward the future.

 

Mr. Rakes continued, “We were pleased to return profits to our stockholders in the form of dividends of $1.13 per share in 2014. This per share dividend payment amount resulted in a dividend payout ratio of 46.43% in 2014 compared to 43.74% in 2013.”
