RCI Hospitality Holdings (Nasdaq: RICK) has released its fiscal first quarter club and restaurant sales report for the period ended December 31, 2024. The company's Nightclubs segment showed positive performance with total sales of $61.3 million, up 1.2% year-over-year, and same-store sales growth of 3.7%, marking the third consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth.

However, the Bombshells segment experienced a significant decline, with total sales of $9.6 million, down 24.7% year-over-year, and same-store sales declining by 7.5%. This decrease was primarily attributed to the divestiture and closing of five locations during 4Q24 and 1Q25. Combined sales across both segments totaled $70.9 million, representing a 3.3% decrease year-over-year, though same-store sales showed a 2.3% increase.

RCI Hospitality Holdings (Nasdaq: RICK) ha pubblicato il rapporto sulle vendite dei club e ristoranti per il primo trimestre fiscale, relativo al periodo conclusosi il 31 dicembre 2024. Il segmento Nightclubs ha mostrato una performance positiva con vendite totali di 61,3 milioni di dollari, in aumento dell'1,2% rispetto all'anno precedente, e una crescita delle vendite nelle stesse sedi del 3,7%, segnando il terzo trimestre consecutivo di crescita anno su anno.

Tuttavia, il segmento Bombshells ha subito un calo significativo, con vendite totali di 9,6 milioni di dollari, in diminuzione del 24,7% rispetto all'anno precedente, e vendite nelle stesse sedi in calo del 7,5%. Questa diminuzione è stata principalmente attribuita alla dismissione e chiusura di cinque sedi durante il quarto trimestre del 2024 e il primo trimestre del 2025. Le vendite combinate tra i due segmenti hanno totalizzato 70,9 milioni di dollari, registrando una diminuzione del 3,3% rispetto all'anno precedente, sebbene le vendite nelle stesse sedi abbiano mostrato un aumento del 2,3%.

Sin embargo, el segmento de Bombshells experimentó un declive significativo, con ventas totales de 9,6 millones de dólares, una disminución del 24,7% interanual, y una caída de las ventas en las mismas tiendas del 7,5%. Esta reducción se atribuyó principalmente a la desinversión y cierre de cinco ubicaciones durante el cuarto trimestre de 2024 y el primer trimestre de 2025. Las ventas combinadas de ambos segmentos totalizaron 70,9 millones de dólares, lo que representa una disminución del 3,3% interanual, aunque las ventas en las mismas tiendas mostraron un aumento del 2,3%.

RCI Hospitality Holdings (Nasdaq: RICK)는 2024년 12월 31일 종료된 기간에 대한 첫 번째 회계 분기 클럽 및 레스토랑 판매 보고서를 공개했습니다. 나이트클럽 부문은 총 6130만 달러의 판매를 기록하며 지난해 대비 1.2% 증가했으며, 동일 점포 판매는 3.7% 증가하여 3분기 연속으로 지난해 대비 성장을 기록했습니다.

그러나 Bombshells 부문은 총 960만 달러의 판매로 지난해 대비 24.7% 감소하였고, 동일 점포 판매도 7.5% 감소했습니다. 이 감소는 주로 2024년 4분기와 2025년 1분기 동안 5개 매장의 매각 및 폐쇄로 인한 것이었습니다. 두 부문의 총 판매는 7090만 달러로 지난해 대비 3.3% 감소하였으나, 동일 점포 판매는 2.3% 증가했습니다.

Insights

The Q1 FY25 results present a mixed but strategically aligned performance for RCI Hospitality.

The core Nightclubs segment, representing 86% of total sales at $61.3 million, demonstrated resilience with a 3.7% same-store sales growth and 1.2% total sales increase. This marks three consecutive quarters of year-over-year growth, indicating successful execution of the company's premium positioning strategy.

The Bombshells segment's 24.7% decline in total sales to $9.6 million reflects strategic portfolio optimization rather than operational weakness. The company's decision to divest underperforming locations should improve overall profitability metrics despite the temporary revenue impact. The 7.5% same-store sales decline in Bombshells warrants monitoring but should be viewed in context of the broader restructuring effort.

Combined sales of $70.9 million with a 2.3% same-store sales growth demonstrates the portfolio's underlying health when excluding strategic closures. The company's focus on its higher-margin Nightclubs segment while streamlining Bombshells operations suggests a disciplined approach to capital allocation and operational efficiency.

The quarterly performance reveals important market dynamics in the adult entertainment and restaurant sectors. The Nightclubs segment's sustained growth trajectory suggests resilient consumer spending in premium adult entertainment, despite broader economic pressures. This contrasts with the casual dining sector's challenges, as evidenced by Bombshells' performance.

The strategic decision to close underperforming Bombshells locations aligns with industry-wide trends of restaurant operators optimizing their footprints in response to rising operational costs and shifting consumer preferences. The 7.5% same-store sales decline in Bombshells reflects broader casual dining sector headwinds, including increased competition and changing consumer dining habits.

The company's expansion in Texas through three new and reformatted clubs indicates management's confidence in market opportunities despite macroeconomic uncertainties. This geographic focus suggests potential market share gains in key growth regions while maintaining operational efficiency through concentrated expansion.
