3Q25 Summary
Eric Langan, President and CEO, stated: "We continued to make solid progress with our Back to Basics 5-Year Capital Allocation Plan. Nightclubs revenues were nearly level despite tariff and tax bill related economic uncertainty. Bombshells revenues reflected the previously announced sale/divestiture of five underperformers, but increased sequentially from 2Q25. Consolidated profitability benefited from the absence of impairment charges, partially offset by other factors."

3Q25 Results
Nightclubs segment
Revenues of $62.3 million declined by 0.8%. Sales reflected a 3.7% decline in same-store sales and the absence of Baby Dolls Fort Worth due to fire in July 2024, mostly offset by $2.6 million from four new clubs acquired or opened in 2Q25 and 3Q25 and four rebranded/reformatted Texas clubs not in SSS.
By revenue type, food, merchandise and other increased 5.1%, service increased 0.3%, and alcoholic beverages declined 3.9%. Other net charges totaled $2.3 million, primarily reflecting lawsuit settlement expense and gain on insurance, compared to $7.7 million, primarily reflecting 3Q24 impairments.
Operating income was $17.8 million (28.5% of segment revenues) compared to $13.6 million (21.7%). Results reflected the decline in other net charges and SSS, acquisitions not yet fully optimized, and Rick's Cabaret Central City pre-opening costs.

Bombshells segment

Operating income was $87,000 (1.0% of segment revenues) compared to a loss of $8.9 million (-67.8%), which included impairments of $10.3 million. Results reflected the decline in impairments, sales from open locations and Bombshells Lubbock pre-opening costs.

Income tax
Income tax was a $0.7 million expense compared to a $1.4 million benefit.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures, within the meaning of SEC Regulation G, to clarify and enhance understanding of past performance and prospects for the future. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's operating performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes or includes amounts that are included in or excluded from the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The company monitors non-GAAP financial measures because they describe the operating performance of the Company and help management and investors gauge the ability to generate cash flow, excluding some items that management believes are not representative of the ongoing business operations of the Company, but are included in the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
The company calculates non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP operating margin by excluding the following items from income from operations and operating margin: (a) amortization of intangibles, (b) impairment of assets, (c) settlement of lawsuits, (d) gains or losses on sale of businesses and assets, (e) gains or losses on insurance, and (f) stock-based compensation. Management believes that excluding these items assists investors in evaluating period-over-period changes in operating income and operating margin without the impact of items that are not a result of day-to-day business and operations.
The company calculates non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share by excluding or including certain items to net income or loss attributable to RCIHH common stockholders and diluted earnings per share. Adjustment items are: (a) amortization of intangibles, (b) impairment of assets, (c) settlement of lawsuits, (d) gains or losses on sale of businesses and assets, (e) gains or losses on insurance, (f) stock-based compensation, (g) gains or losses on lease termination, and (h) the income tax effect of the above-described adjustments. Included in the income tax effect of the above adjustments is the net effect of the non-GAAP provision for income taxes, calculated at 17.4% and 11.7% effective tax rate of the pre-tax non-GAAP income before taxes for the nine months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively, and the GAAP income tax expense (benefit). Management believes that excluding and including such items help investors better understand operating activities.
The company calculates adjusted EBITDA by excluding the following items from net income or loss attributable to RCIHH common stockholders: (a) depreciation and amortization, (b) impairment of assets, (c) income tax expense, (d) net interest expense, (e) settlement of lawsuits, (f) gains or losses on sale of businesses and assets, (g) gains or losses on insurance, (h) stock-based compensation, and (i) gains or losses on lease termination. Management believes that adjusting for such items helps investors better understand operating activities. Adjusted EBITDA provides a core operational performance measurement that compares results without the need to adjust for federal, state and local taxes which have considerable variation between domestic jurisdictions. The results are without consideration of financing alternatives of capital employed. The company uses adjusted EBITDA as one guideline to assess unleveraged performance return on investments. Adjusted EBITDA is also the target benchmark for acquisitions of nightclubs.
The company also uses certain non-GAAP cash flow measures such as free cash flow. Free cash flow is derived from net cash provided by operating activities less maintenance capital expenditures. The company uses free cash flow as the baseline for the implementation of capital allocation strategy.
