Rick's Cabaret International, Inc. reports fiscal 2010 results

HOUSTON – (December 14, 2010) – Rick's Cabaret International, Inc. [NASDAQ:RICK] today reported financial results for its fiscal year ending September 30, 2010. The company had consolidated total revenues of $83 million, an increase of 9.4 percent over the $75.8 million reported in the previous year. The company reported a loss from continuing operations of $7.6 million for the year, primarily because of non-cash balance sheet impairment charges of $20.5 million, compared with 2009 income from continuing operations $5.5 million.

“Our income statement was dramatically affected by the impairment charges incurred chiefly because of losses at the Las Vegas club we acquired in 2008 and we believe that the growth in our adjusted EBITDA to $17.6 million is a more realistic way to look at the year,” said Eric Langan, President and CEO of Rick’s Cabaret International, Inc.

Mr. Langan said the company generated cash flow from operations of $17.3 million compared with $8.9 million in 2009, despite the Las Vegas losses, benefitting from continuing strong performances of Rick’s Cabaret in New York City and Tootsie’s Cabaret in Miami.

“We think 2011 is looking very good,” Mr. Langan said. “We plan to add four more locations in 2011, staying on our goal of making at least one acquisition per quarter. In addition we will benefit from the Super Bowl in February in Dallas, where we will have a terrific cluster of seven clubs ready to welcome fans.”

Other highlights from results for the year ending September 30, 2010 include:

  • The company’s adjusted EBITDA for 2010 $17.6 million, compared with $16.0 million in 2009. Diluted adjusted EBITDA per common share was $1.84 compared with $1.70, based on shares outstanding of 9.7 million and 9.4 million respectively. The adjusted EBITDA calculation (earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and impairment charges) is a non-GAAP performance measure that excludes the largest recurring non-cash charges (depreciation, amortization and impairment) and provides a core operational performance measurement that compares results without the need to adjust for Federal, state and local taxes that have considerable variation between domestic jurisdictions. Interest cost is also excluded from the calculation of adjusted EBITDA. The results are, therefore, without consideration of financing alternatives of capital employed. Adjusted EBITDA is one guideline to assess unleveraged performance return on the company’s investments and is also the target benchmark for acquisitions of nightclubs.
  • The 9.4 per cent increase in total revenues was driven by revenues generated at new clubs and an overall 7.0 percent increase from clubs open more than one year, especially the New York location, offset by a decrease in revenues from the Las Vegas club.
  • The Las Vegas club is still not profitable even with the taxi marketing costs under more control than in the prior year, due principally to decreased revenues since the Las Vegas market collapsed after September 2008. The company noted that the club it acquired had revenues of approximately $16.6 million in the year ended July 31, 2008, compared to $8.8 million and $9.7 million for the years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. The club had adjusted EBITDA of approximately ($37,000) and ($1.4) million for the years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, compared to pro forma EBITDA income of $2.6 million for the year ended July 31, 2008.
