  • CEO Comment

    "RCI performed well in 2Q15," said Mr. Langan. "We achieved record revenues and strong year over year growth in non-GAAP EPS and adjusted EBITDA, which reflects our cash generating power.

    "Our performance was especially favorable since 2Q15 was affected by bad weather, especially in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, where we operate 11 clubs. We also had tough comparisons to 2Q14, when we benefitted from the big football championship in the New York City area, where we have two top clubs.

    "Core profitability in nightclubs expanded due to higher revenues and margin improvement. With more units and increased revenues, our Bombshells restaurant/bar segment also added positively to results.

    "We repurchased more stock in the open market, reflecting confidence in our favorable outlook, combined with the market's undervaluation of our shares. We will continue to focus cash flow on buying back shares. At current levels, our own assets represent a highly attractive return.

    "We are on track for a strong Fiscal 2015. Year to date, total revenues are up 18.6%, adjusted EBITDA 22.7%, and non-GAAP EPS 23.1%.

    "We look forward to a solid third quarter. Many units benefitted from our showing the recent Mayweather-Pacquiao 'Fight of the Century'. Warm weather in Texas should further enhance Bombshells' patio business."

    2Q15 Analysis (all comparisons to 2Q14 unless otherwise noted)

    Total Revenues

  • Total revenues of $37.4 million compared to $32.9 million.
  • 45 units (40 adult clubs and nightclubs and 5 restaurants) versus 43 (41 adult clubs and nightclubs and 2 restaurants).
  • Same store sales increased 2.1%.
  • Units opened less than a year added $4.4 million. This included new adult clubs – Rick's Cabaret in Odessa, TX and the recently acquired Down in Texas Saloon in Austin, TX – and new Bombshells in Austin, Spring and Houston, TX.
  • Operating Margin & Costs (as % of revenues)

  • GAAP operating margin was (7.0%), reflecting the previously mentioned accrual, compared to 22.7%.
  • Non-GAAP operating margin, which excludes the accrual and certain other non-operating items from both periods for more meaningful analysis, was 24.9% compared to 26.9%.
  • Non-GAAP operating margin reflects the growth of the Bombshells segment, whose margins, while growing, are less than that of the nightclub segment. This was partially offset by the elimination of under-performing adult clubs.
  • The accrual of $10.3 million pre-tax, or ($0.65) per share net of tax, represents the company's best estimate at this time of the total cost of the settlement, announced April 1, 2015, in its New York federal wage and hour class action case.
  • Adjusted EBITDA

  • RCI's cash generating power, as reflected by adjusted EBITDA*, amounted to $10.2 million, up 10.8% from $9.2 million in the year ago quarter.
  • Business Segments (all comparisons to 2Q14 unless otherwise noted)

    Nightclubs

  • Includes the company's 38 adult clubs and two bar/nightclubs, compared to a total of 41 in the year ago quarter.
  • Sales increased 2.4%, to $31.9 million from $31.2 million.
  • Operating income was $114,000 compared to $9.6 million.
  • Excluding the previously mentioned accrual, operating income increased 8.0% to $10.4 million and operating margin expanded to 32.6% from 30.9%.
  • In May, RCI subsidiaries acquired The Seville Club, a popular gentlemen's club in Minneapolis known for its famous downtown location, as previously announced. Total consideration of $8.5 million consisted of $4.5 million for the assets of the club business and $4.0 million for its historic building.
  • Bombshells

  • Includes the company's five Bombshells, all in Texas, compared to two in the year ago quarter.
  • Sales increased nearly 3.5 times, to $4.8 million from $1.4 million.
  • Operating income was $571,000 compared to a loss of $12,000.
  • Operating margin expanded to 11.9% of revenues from (0.9%) and is expected to increase as revenues continue to build and training costs subside.
  • A sixth Bombshells is planned for the Willowbrook area of northwest Houston. Management is identifying additional locations.
  • Balance Sheet (March 31, 2015 compared to December 31, 2014)

  • Assets increased 4.1% to $260.5 million and long term debt increased 2.4% to $71.5 million. The increases primarily reflected the acquisition of the Down in Texas Saloon of Austin and related real estate.
  • Total permanent stockholders' equity declined 2.8% to $120.8 million, primarily reflecting the NY FLSA accrual partially offset by core profits.
  • Stock Buy Backs

  • The Board of Directors increased its stock repurchase authorization to $10.0 million in May 2014.
  • During 2Q15, RCI purchased 82,811 shares of common in the open market for an aggregate cost of $840,340, leaving $7.0 million of remaining authorization.
  • During the six months ended March 31, 2015, RCI purchased 192,427 shares at a cost of $1.9 million.
  • *Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    In addition to our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, management uses certain "non-GAAP financial measures" within the meaning of the 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. We monitor non-GAAP financial measures because it describes the operating performance of the company and helps management and investors gauge our ability to generate cash flow, excluding some recurring charges that are included in the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Relative to each of the non-GAAP financial measures, we further set forth our rationale as follows:

  • Non-GAAP Operating Income and Non-GAAP Operating Margin. We exclude from non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP operating margin amortization of intangibles, patron taxes, pre-opening costs, gains and losses from asset sales, stock-based compensation charges, litigation and other one-time legal settlements, gain on contractual debt reduction and acquisition costs. We believe that excluding these items assists investors in evaluating period-over-period changes in our operating income and operating margin without the impact of items that are not a result of our day-to-day business and operations.

  • Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Net Income per Basic Share and per Diluted Share. We exclude from non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share and per basic share amortization of intangibles, patron taxes, pre-opening costs, income tax expense, impairment charges, gains and losses from asset sales, stock-based compensation, litigation and other one-time legal settlements, gain on contractual debt reduction and acquisition costs, and include the Non-GAAP provision for income taxes, calculated as the tax-effect at 35% effective tax rate of the pre-tax non-GAAP income before taxes less stock-based compensation, because we believe that excluding such measures helps management and investors better understand our operating activities.

  • Adjusted EBITDA. We exclude from earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) depreciation expense, amortization of intangibles, income tax, interest expense, interest income, gains and losses from asset sales, acquisition costs, litigation and other one-time legal settlements, gain on contractual debt reduction and impairment charges because we believe that adjusting for such items helps management and 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. Also, we exclude interest cost in our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA. The results are, therefore, without consideration of financing alternatives of capital employed. We use Adjusted EBITDA as one guideline to assess our unleveraged performance return on our investments. Adjusted EBITDA is also the target benchmark for our acquisitions of nightclubs.
