BLACKSBURG, VA, FEBRUARY 23, 2017: National Bankshares, Inc. (NASDAQ Capital Market: NKSH) today announced its results of operations for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2016. The Company reported net income of $14.94 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, a decrease from the $15.83 million earned in 2015.

“In 2016 we celebrated National Bank’s 125^th year as a community bank, and we’re extremely thankful to the customers, shareholders, employees and directors, past and present, who have helped us reach this milestone,” said National Bankshares Chairman, President and CEO James G.

“We were pleased to share a dividend of $1.16 per share with our stockholders in 2016, an increase over the $1.14 per share dividend awarded in 2015,” continued Rakes. “We feel very privileged to be a part of National Bank’s 125-year history, and we are dedicated to serving our customers, communities and shareholders for many years to come.”
