BLACKSBURG, Va., Feb. 23, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- National Bankshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: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.

“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.”
