ROANOKE, Va., Feb. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RGC Resources, Inc. (Nasdaq: RGCO) announced consolidated Company earnings of $4.9 million, or $0.47 per share, for the first quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to $5.3 million, or $0.51 per share, for the first quarter ended December 31, 2024. The decrease reflected flat margins and higher costs for personnel, IT, property taxes and depreciation, which were partially offset by lower interest expense. The Company filed a rate case in early December seeking $4.3 million in additional annualized revenue primarily to address these and other higher costs. Interim rates went into effect January 1, 2026, subject to refund based on review by the State Corporation Commission.
