Rick's Cabaret International, Inc. Reports Record Net Income For Fiscal 2007 With 74.3 Percent Increase From Previous Year; Net Earnings Are 54 Cents Per Basic Share


HOUSTON-(December 20, 2007)-Rick's Cabaret International, Inc. [NASDAQ-GM:RICK], operator of upscale gentlemen's clubs, today reported net income of $3,054,899 for its fiscal year ending September 30, 2007, a 74.3 percent increase over the $1,752,714 reported in the previous year. The company became a taxpayer during the 2007 fiscal year and thus recorded $236,446 in income tax expense. Income before income taxes for the 2007 fiscal year was $3,291,345, an 87.8% increase over 2006.
For the company's fourth quarter ending September 30, 2007 revenues were $8,968,243, a 41.5 percent increase over the $6,336,781 reported in the previous year; net income was $1,178,208 compared with a loss of $114,668 and earnings per basic share were 20 cents compared with a loss of three cents in the previous year.

Full fiscal year 2007 earnings were 54 cents per basic share, which exceeded the company's guidance of 48 cents. Earnings per fully diluted share were 50 cents, compared with 35 cents in the previous year.

In fiscal 2007 the company had revenues of $32,013,940, a 30.7 percent increase over revenues of $24,487,215 in 2006. The increase was primarily due to revenues generated from newly acquired clubs and increases in revenues from existing clubs, especially from the Rick's Cabaret in New York City. Revenues from nightclub operations for same-location same-period increased by 11.8 percent year over year. Revenue for Internet businesses decreased by 9.1 percent, but generated operating income of $111,919.

"We are very pleased with our 2007 performance overall," said Eric Langan, President and CEO of Rick's Cabaret. "The really exciting time for our company lies ahead of us: our organic growth continues to be strong; we will immediately begin seeing the dramatic impact of earnings from our newest acquisition, Tootsies in Miami; and we have a robust pipeline of additional acquisitions ahead of us."

Net cash provided by operating activities in 2007 was $4,383,121, compared with $2,725,770 in 2006. On September 30th, the company had cash and cash equivalents of $2,998,758, compared with $854,932 at the end of the prior year.

Interest expense for the year ended September 30, 2007 was $1,335,713 compared to $1,057,020 for the prior year, primarily due to the increase in debt related to the purchase of new clubs. The company had long term debt to $14,387,339 as of September 30, 2007 compared to $13,920,733 a year earlier.

Total assets on the consolidated balance sheets of the company as of September 30, 2007 were $47,075,760, compared with $30,602,875 at the end of fiscal 2006.
