In the last column in the table in the press release (which column is labeled “vs. 1Q20”), which compares same-store sales for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 to the quarter ended December 31, 2019, the row items for Combined, Nightclubs, and Bombshells had incorrect numbers.

RCI Reports Club and Restaurant Sales of $61.1 Million in 1Q22
HOUSTON—January 11, 2022—RCI Hospitality Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: RICK) reported sales for its Nightclubs and Bombshells restaurants for the fiscal 2022 first quarter ended December 31, 2021.
Eric Langan, President and CEO of RCI Hospitality Holdings, Inc., said, “We had a strong first quarter as we benefited from legacy as well as new locations, namely our 11th Bombshells in Arlington, TX, which opened December 6, and the 12 clubs we acquired mid-October and early November. We didn’t experience any noticeable impact from Omicron until late 1Q22 and hope it will cycle through our markets quickly. We look forward to our first Bombshells franchisee opening its San Antonio location in our March quarter. Full financial results for 1Q22 are expected to be reported by February 9th.”
