April 28, 2016 4:31 PM EDT

BLACKSBURG, VA -- (Marketwired) -- 04/28/16 -- National Bankshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: NKSH) today announced its results of operations for the first quarter of 2016. The Company reported net income of $3.78 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 compared to almost $3.97 million at March 31, 2015. Basic earnings per share were $0.54 at March 31, 2016 compared to $0.57 for the same period in 2015. For the first quarter, the return on average assets was 1.28% and the return on average equity was 8.64% compared to 1.40% and 9.50%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2015. At March 31, 2016, the Company had total assets of close to $1.21 billion which was an increase of 3.69% when compared to $1.16 billion at the end of the first quarter of 2015.

Commenting on the Company's financial results, National Bankshares Chairman, President & CEO James G. Rakes said, "We continue to compare very favorably to our peer group in terms of our balance sheet and income statement results. Asset quality remains a priority as nonperforming loans declined over 31% from the first quarter of 2015. In addition, net OREO balances dropped 21% when the same two periods are compared. We still face challenges, such as static loan demand, a low interest rate environment and increased competition, but we are striving to grow loans, manage expenses, and increase noninterest revenue. As we enter our 125th year of banking, we are focused on continuing to provide long-term value to our stockholders and customers through delivery of superior customer service and products."
