RCI Reports 3Q25 Club & Restaurant Sales
HOUSTON—July 10, 2025—RCI Hospitality Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: RICK) reported club and restaurant sales for the fiscal third quarter ended June 30, 2025. Sales do not include non-core operations and are subject to final closing. Full 3Q25 financial results are expected to be reported by August 11, 2025.
Eric Langan, President and CEO of RCI, commented: “Total Nightclubs sales remained fairly steady year-over-year, and with the recent change in management, total Bombshells sales increased sequentially. Year-to-date, Nightclubs sales on a total and same-store basis are down only about 1% year-over-year, which is better than would have been expected considering all the economic uncertainty about tariffs and the tax bill.”
Club & Restaurant Sales ($ in Millions)
3Q25Total SalesTotal Sales vs. 3Q24Same-Store Sales vs. 3Q24
Nightclubs$61.9-0.8%-3.7%
Bombshells$8.6-34.6%-13.5%
Combined$70.5-6.7%-4.9%
Nightclubs (60 locations contributing to 3Q25 sales): Total sales included the addition of $2.3 million from four new clubs (Flight Club in Detroit, acquired January 2025; Platinum West in West Columbia, SC, acquired early April 2025; Platinum Plus in Allentown, PA, acquired mid-June 2025; and Rick’s Cabaret & Steakhouse in Central City, CO, opened late June 2025), and $976 thousand from four rebranded/reformatted Texas clubs not in SSS in El Paso, Harlingen, Lubbock and Tye. These eight clubs mostly offset the SSS decline and the absence of a club due to fire in July 2024.
Bombshells (10 locations contributing to 3Q25 sales): Total sales primarily reflected the divestiture and closing of five underperforming locations in 4Q24 and 1Q25 and the SSS decline, partially offset by the Denver, CO location (opened January 2025).
