    Eric Langan, President and CEO, said:

    "Despite this uncertain economy, the core strength of our business enabled RCI to generate $72.3 million in revenue in 2Q24 compared to $71.5 million last year. While GAAP EPS of $0.08 primarily reflected $8.0 million in non-cash impairment, non-GAAP EPS totaled $0.90, near the high end of expectations."

    "The Nightclubs segment generated $59.4 million in revenue in 2Q24 compared to $57.0 million last year. Separately, the effort begun mid-February to improve the Bombshells segment resulted in steady sales and better margins on a sequential quarter basis. In addition, we continued to make progress developing new locations and upgrading existing ones to further grow RCI."

    "We're committed to following our capital allocation strategy, concentrating on our core nightclubs business, evaluating potential acquisitions, and buying back stock. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, we increased our cash position $20 million by closing on our planned bank loan."

    2Q24 Results (Comparisons are to the year-ago period unless indicated otherwise)

    • Nightclubs segment: Revenues were $59.4 million compared to $57.0 million. The $2.4 million increase reflected the benefit of acquisitions not in same-store sales (SSS), which more than offset declines from SSS and clubs reopened, reformatted or closed during or prior to the quarter.2 By revenue type, alcoholic beverages increased 16.9% and food, merchandise and other increased 7.8%, while service declined 8.3%. The differing growth rates primarily reflected a higher alcohol and lower service sales mix from the recently acquired clubs and lower SSS. Impairment totaled $8.0 million compared to $0.7 million, resulting in operating income of $11.0 million (18.6% of revenues) compared to $18.0 million (31.6% of revenues). On a non-GAAP basis, operating income was $19.8 million (33.4% of revenues) compared to $22.4 million (39.3% of revenues). The non-GAAP margin decline primarily reflected lower service revenues, wage inflation, and the Texas patron tax increase, which doubled to $10 per customer.
    • Bombshells segment: Revenues were $12.8 million compared to $14.3 million. The $1.5 million decline reflected lower SSS, partially offset by increases from FY23 acquisitions not in SSS and a new location.2 Operating income was $0.7 million (5.5% of revenues) compared to $1.8 million (12.4% of revenues). On a non-GAAP basis, operating income was $0.8 million (5.9% of revenues) compared to $2.2 million (15.4% of revenues). The decline in profitability primarily reflected lower SSS.
    • Corporate segment: Expenses totaled $6.8 million (9.4% of total revenues) compared to $6.2 million (8.6% of total revenues). On a non-GAAP basis, expenses totaled $6.3 million (8.8% of total revenues) compared to $5.5 million (7.7% of total revenues). The expense increase primarily reflected more corporate level management, accounting and professional services due to recently acquired clubs and new projects.
    • Interest expense was 5.5% of revenues compared to 5.1%. The increase reflected higher rate debt from seller-financed promissory notes related to FY23 acquisitions.
    • Effective tax rate was 0.7% compared to 21.8%.
    • Weighted average shares outstanding increased 0.9% year over year due to shares used in the 2Q23 Baby Dolls-Chicas Locas acquisition, partially offset by subsequent share buybacks.
    • Share repurchases totaled 27,265 shares for $1.5 million or an average of $56.12 per share, bringing the 6M24 total to 65,219 repurchased shares for $3.6 million or an average of $55.23 per share. There was $13.0 million in remaining repurchase authorization at March 31, 2024.
    • Debt was $231.9 million at March 31, 2024 compared to $234.1 million at December 31, 2023. The reduction reflected scheduled paydowns.

    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 (or including) some items that management believes are not representative of the ongoing business operations of the Company, but are included in (or excluded from) 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 calculate 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. 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 Diluted Share. We calculate non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share by excluding or including certain items to net income 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, and (g) 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 18.4% and 22.3% effective tax rate of the pre-tax non-GAAP income before taxes for the six months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and the GAAP income tax expense (benefit). We believe that excluding and including such items help management and investors better understand our operating activities.
    • Adjusted EBITDA. We calculate adjusted EBITDA by excluding the following items from net income attributable to RCIHH common stockholders: (a) depreciation and amortization, (b) impairment of assets, (c) income tax expense (benefit), (d) net interest expense, (e) settlement of lawsuits, (f) gains or losses on sale of businesses and assets, (g) gains or losses on insurance, and (h) stock-based compensation. We believe that adjusting for such items helps management and investors better understand our 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, 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.
    • We also use 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. We use free cash flow as the baseline for the implementation of our capital allocation strategy.
