ROANOKE, Va., -- RGC Resources, Inc. (Nasdaq:RGCO) announced consolidated Company earnings of $1,834,912 or $0.40 per average share outstanding for the quarter ended December 31, 2011. This compares to consolidated earnings of $1,969,364 or $0.43 per average share outstanding for the quarter ended December 31, 2010. President and CEO John Williamson attributed the decrease in earnings to a decrease in gross margins related to lower space heating sales volumes from significantly warmer weather in December.
Earnings for the twelve months ending December 31, 2011 were $4,519,021 or $0.98 per share compared to $4,584,520 or $1.01 per share for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010. Williamson attributed the slight decrease in earnings to significantly warmer weather reducing heating sales volumes.

Net income for the three months ended December 31, 2011 are not indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2012 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.
