National Bankshares, Inc. Announces Earnings for 2015

February 25, 2016 4:30 PM EST

BLACKSBURG, VA -- (Marketwired) -- 02/25/16 -- National Bankshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: NKSH) today announced its results of operations for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2015. The Company reported net income of $15.83 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, a decrease from the $16.91 million earned in 2014. The 2015 return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.37% and 9.22%, respectively. Basic earnings per share in 2015 were $2.28. National Bankshares, Inc. ended 2015 with total assets of almost $1.20 billion.

Commenting on the Company's financial results, National Bankshares Chairman, President & CEO James G. Rakes said, "As National Bank enters its 125th year, we continue to deliver on our promise of successful community banking to our customers, employees and stockholders. In the fourth quarter of 2015, we experienced unanticipated write downs in loans that contributed to the lower net income. Among other expenses, we had increased employee benefit expenses, mostly the result of pension related costs. We are working hard to deploy our capital in the communities we serve while preserving asset quality and our strong capital legacy."

Mr. Rakes continued, "We were pleased to return profits to our stockholders in the form of dividends of $1.14 per share in 2015. This per share dividend payment amount resulted in a dividend payout ratio of 50.09% in 2015 compared to 46.43% in 2014 and 43.74% in 2013."
