RCI Reports 4Q25 & FY25 Club & Restaurant Sales and Development Updates

RCI Hospitality Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: RICK) reported club and restaurant sales for the fiscal fourth quarter and year ended September 30, 2025. Sales do not include non-core operations and are subject to final closing. Full 4Q25 and FY25 financial results will be reported in our annual report on Form 10-K.

Eric Langan, President and CEO of RCI, commented: “Total FY25 Nightclubs sales held relatively steady year-over-year, as acquisitions and club reformatting partially offset same-store sales declines and the impact of closures.

“Following the 1Q25 divestiture of underperforming Bombshells locations, restaurant sales improved sequentially, supported by successful openings in Denver and Lubbock and a change in management.

“Despite strong team execution, persistent economic uncertainty has made it challenging to fully offset traffic-driven pressure on same-store sales across both clubs and restaurants.”

Development Updates

Mr. Langan also announced several positive developments:

1. Dallas Showclub is set to reopen tonight as the reformatted XTC 2.0, a BYOB concept. The club’s closure last month impacted 4Q25 sales.
2. Contracts to sell non-income producing and underperforming properties are in the final stages of negotiation. Proceeds would reduce debt and generate cash.
3. The last Bombshells under development is on track to open this December in Rowlett, TX.
4. A critical zoning change has been received for the reconstruction and reopening of Baby Dolls Fort Worth, which was lost to fire in July 2024.
5. Nearly all construction plans and studies have been approved for the renovation of a property in West Fort Worth to create another Baby Dolls club that will be similar to the Dallas location.

“Successful completion of these developments will enable us to generate new revenues and deploy more cash toward acquisitions, stock buybacks, debt paydown, and dividends in line with our ‘Back to Basics’ Capital Allocation Plan,” Mr. Langan said.

Club & Restaurant Sales ($ in Millions)

Nightclubs (60 locations contributing to 4Q25 sales): Total sales included $3.2 million from four newly acquired clubs (Flight Club in Detroit, MI, January 2025; Platinum West in West Columbia, SC, early April 2025; Platinum Plus in Allentown, PA, mid-June 2025; and Rick’s Cabaret & Steakhouse in Central City, CO, late June 2025), and sales from two smaller rebranded/reformatted Texas clubs not in SSS. These six clubs in part offset the SSS decline and reduced sales from the closing of Dallas Showclub in 4Q25 for reformatting and Baby Dolls Fort Worth due to fire in 4Q24.

Bombshells (11 locations contributing to 4Q25 sales): Total sales primarily reflected the divestiture and closing of five underperforming locations in 4Q24 and 1Q25 and the SSS decline, partially offset by the opening of new locations in Denver, CO, in January 2025 and Lubbock, TX, in early July 2025.
