Rick's Cabaret International, Inc. reports first quarter 2014 results, provides second quarter 2014 update and reaffirms guidance

HOUSTON – February 10, 2014 – Rick’s Cabaret International, Inc. (NasdaqGM: RICK) today announced results for the 2014 first quarter ended December 31, 2013, while also providing an update on sales growth experienced to date in the second fiscal quarter (ending March 31, 2014) and reaffirming previous guidance for Fiscal 2014.

“With the exception of the impact of unusually severe winter weather in mid-December in our important Texas markets, results are progressing according to plan with our gentlemen’s clubs and restaurant/sports bars,” said Eric Langan, President and CEO of Rick’s Cabaret International.

“Revenues at our Rick’s Cabaret and Vivid Cabaret New York clubs in New York City were excellent in January and early February, as we capitalized strategically and financially on the pro football championship game this year across the Hudson River in New Jersey.

“In addition, we continue to be engaged in a program to maximize the value of our extensive real estate, and overall we look forward to strong growth in Fiscal 2014.”

First Quarter 2014 Summary

  • First quarter 2014 revenues of $29.4 million increased 8.4% from $27.1 million in the year ago period. First quarter 2014 results were negatively impacted by severe ice storms in mid-December in Texas, a state representing approximately 75% of the Company’s units and generating approximately 50% of sales.
  • Rick’s earned $2.4 million, or $0.25 per diluted share (on a GAAP basis), compared to $2.6 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, in the corresponding year ago period. The weather is estimated to have resulted in approximately $500,000 in lost sales of which approximately 80% would have contributed to operating profit.
  • First quarter 2014 results were also impacted by planned expenses associated with the development of five units (adult gentleman’s clubs Vivid Cabaret in New York City and Rick’s Cabaret in Odessa, TX, and Bombshells restaurant/sports bars in Webster, Beaumont and Austin, TX).
  • Despite the above factors, the cash generating power of Rick’s remained strong. Adjusted EBITDA* for the first quarter of 2014 was $7.3 million, approximately level with the year ago period.
  • The Company had 41 units open during the first quarter of 2014, including nine open less than a year.

Second Quarter 2014 Update

Second quarter 2014 sales as of the end of last week were up strongly compared to the year ago period due to:

  • Opening of Vivid Cabaret New York in mid-January and a second Bombshells, in Webster, TX, in late January.
  • An overall beneficial effect from the February 2, 2014 professional football championship.
  • Continued seasoning of new adult clubs and restaurant/sports bars open less than a year.

“We had a terrific success due to The Big Game this year,” said Mr. Langan. “It truly was a non-stop party at both the Vivid and Rick’s clubs in New York. Based on this, we expect continued success when the Big East and NCAA Regionals college basketball championships come to New York City in March.”

 

FY14 Guidance Reaffirmed

  • Rick’s reaffirmed its fiscal 2014 guidance of approximately $130 million in revenue, $1.70 earnings per share non-GAAP, and $1.20 earnings per share GAAP, based on a continued strong performance company-wide from existing units over the balance of the year, plus contributions from new restaurant/sports bars already opened and those planned to open.
  • Plans for the balance of the fiscal year include the expected opening of a new adult club (Rick’s Cabaret in Odessa) and three new Bombshells currently under development (Beaumont, Austin and South Houston).
  • Rick’s expects to have a total of 10 sports bar/restaurants open or in development by year end calendar 2014, with a cluster in Texas and others possibly outside the state in select cities having significant tourist and convention traffic.
  • Rick’s FY14 guidance does not assume the acquisition of any gentlemen’s adult clubs, although they are factored in the Company’s longer term multi-year target of 20-30% revenue growth.

Conference Call

A conference call to discuss Rick’s results for the first quarter of 2014, outlook and related matters will be held today, February 10, 2014 at 4:30 PM Eastern Time.

*Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, management uses certain “non-GAAP financial measures” within the meaning of the SEC Regulation G, to clarify and enhance understanding of past performance and prospects for the future. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s operating performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes or includes amounts that are included in or excluded from the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. We monitor non-GAAP financial measures because it describes the operating performance of the company and helps management and investors gauge our ability to generate cash flow, excluding some recurring charges that are included in the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Relative to each of the non-GAAP financial measures, we further set forth our rationale as follows:

  • Non-GAAP Operating Income and Non-GAAP Operating Margin. We exclude from GAAP operating income and GAAP operating margin amortization of intangibles, patron taxes, gains and losses from asset sales, stock-based compensation charges, litigation and other one-time legal settlements and acquisition costs. We believe that excluding these items assists investors in evaluating period-over-period changes in our operating income and operating margin without the impact of items that are not a result of our day-to-day business and operations.
  • Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Net Income per Basic Share and per Diluted Share. We exclude from GAAP net income and GAAP net income per diluted share and per basic share amortization of intangibles, patron taxes, income tax expense, impairment charges, gains and losses from asset sales, stock-based compensation, litigation, loss from discontinued operations  and other one-time legal settlements and acquisition costs, and include the Non-GAAP provision for income taxes, calculated as the tax effect at 35% effective tax rate of the pre-tax non-GAAP income before taxes less stock-based compensation, because we believe that excluding such measures helps management and investors better understand our operating activities.
  • Adjusted EBITDA. We exclude from GAAP net income depreciation expense, amortization of intangibles, income tax, interest expense, interest income, gains and losses from asset sales, acquisition costs, litigation and other one-time legal settlements and impairment charges because we believe that adjusting for such items helps management and investors better understand operating activities. Adjusted EBITDA provides a core operational performance measurement that compares results without the need to adjust for Federal, state and local taxes which have considerable variation between domestic jurisdictions. Also, we exclude interest cost in our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA. The results are, therefore, without consideration of financing alternatives of capital employed. We use Adjusted EBITDA as one guideline to assess our unleveraged performance return on our investments. Adjusted EBITDA is also the target benchmark for our acquisitions of nightclubs.
