Rick's Cabaret International, Inc. Reports Third Quarter Revenue Increase To $20.8 Million and Adjusted EBITDA of $6.0 Million
HOUSTON – (August 9, 2011) – Rick’s Cabaret International, Inc.
(NASDAQ: RICK), the leading group of upscale gentlemen’s clubs, had revenues of
$20.8 million in its third quarter ended June 30, a 15.4 percent increase over
the $18.0 million in the same period last year. The company reported adjusted
EBITDA* of $6.0 million a 52.7 percent increase over $3.9 million in the same
period last year.
The company reported net income from continuing operations for the quarter of
$2.5 million, compared with $1.1 million in 2010, with earnings per diluted
share from continuing operations of 25 cents versus 11 cents last year. After
accounting for a loss from discontinued operations including the now closed club
in Las Vegas, net income was $888,000 versus $857,000. Net income per diluted
share for both periods was nine cents.
“With this quarter we have now put the pain of the Las Vegas situation behind
us and we are well positioned to move forward on an apples-to-apples basis,”
said Eric Langan, President and CEO of Rick’s Cabaret. “Apart from the Las Vegas
loss, we had a strong third quarter, with increases in cash flows, EBITDA and
income from continuing operations. Our larger clubs across the country are doing
well and we will have a positive outlook on the remainder of the year as long as
the general economy maintains its present levels.”
Mr. Langan will discuss the third quarter results in detail at a conference
call and webcast today at 4:30 pm EDT that can be accessed at

The increase in total revenues was primarily attributable to clubs acquired
during the past year, additional traffic generated during the NBA Championship
series in Dallas and Miami, and gains at the Rick’s locations in San Antonio,
North Austin and Minneapolis.
Total revenues for same-location-same-period of club operations open more
than one year increased by 9.0 percent to $19.2 million in the quarter from
$17.6 million for the same period last year. Comparable club operating income
was $5.7 million compared with $4.7 million last year.
Net cash generated from continuing operations was $13.7 million, compared
with $12.0 million last year. Interest expense dropped to $1.0 million from $1.2
million.
*Adjusted EBITDA is a financial statement measure that was not derived in
accordance with GAAP. We use adjusted EBITDA (earnings from continuing
operations before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and
impairment charges) as a non-GAAP performance measure. In calculating adjusted
EBITDA, we exclude our largest recurring non-cash charge, depreciation,
amortization and impairment charges. 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.
