RCI Reports Preliminary 3Q19 Financial Results

 

HOUSTON – August 9, 2019 – RCI Hospitality Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: RICK) today reported preliminary unaudited financial results for the Fiscal 2019 third quarter ended June 30, 2019.

 

The preliminary financial information presented in this news release has not been reviewed by an independent registered public accounting firm. See “Financial Information Is Preliminary and Subject to Change” below. All comparisons in this news release are to year-ago periods, unless otherwise noted.

 

RCI noted it will file a Form 12b-25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission today reporting that it will not be able to timely file its Form 10-Q for the FY19 third quarter ended June 30, 2019 as it is still in the process of selecting a new independent registered public accounting firm.

 

3Q19 vs. 3Q18

 

●	Diluted EPS of $0.59 compared to $0.55
●	Diluted non-GAAP* EPS of $0.59 compared to $0.58
●	3Q19 GAAP included net pre-tax gains of $172K vs. net pre-tax charges of $440K in 3Q18
●	Total revenues of $47.0 million compared to $42.6 million on 46 and 44 units, respectively
●	Repurchased 17,302 shares in April 2019 for $0.4 million ($23.36 average per share)
●	Free cash flow for the first nine months of FY19 ended June 30, 2019 totaled $26.3 million based on net cash provided by operating activities of $28.4 million, less maintenance capital expenditures of $2.1 million.

 

CEO Comment

 

“Third quarter total revenues grew 10.3% primarily due to our Nightclubs and Bombshells segments, operating income increased 5.1%, and EPS totaled $0.59,” said Eric Langan, President and CEO. “Nightclubs revenues benefitted from our solid club lineup and Bombshells from the strong performance of new locations. In July, Bombshells same-store sales were up year-over-year for the second month in a row.”

 

“We continued to achieve progress with part of our Bombshells development strategy through the sale of a second excess parcel for a gain of more than 40% of cost. We also continued the liquidation of other non-income producing assets. During and subsequent to the quarter, this resulted in cash proceeds of $2.5 million and the pay down of $2.2 million in related debt. We hope to conclude the sale or lease of remaining non-income-producing properties by year-end FY19 or early FY20.”

 

“3Q19 free cash flow totaled $6.5 million, enabling us to generate FCF of $26.3 million for the first nine months of FY19, hitting our initial FY19 FCF run rate. Adjusted EBITDA increased 2.6% to $12.2 million. Looking at the June 30, 2019 balance sheet compared to March 31, 2019, cash increased $2.7 million to $11.0 million, long-term debt fell $3.2 million, and total stockholder’s equity reached $168.9 million.”

 

 

3Q19 Review

 

●	Total Revenues: Total revenues of $47.0 million grew $4.4 million with increases of $1.9 million (+10.8%) in alcoholic beverages, $983K (+6.0%) in service, $871K (+14.1%) in food, and $627K (+25.2%) in other. Revenues increased primarily due to the addition of Rick’s Cabarets in Chicago and Pittsburgh in Nightclubs and two new Bombshells (I-10 and 249).
●	Operating Income: Operating income of $10.0 million (21.2% of revenues) increased $482K from $9.5 million (22.3%). Non-GAAP operating income of $10.0 million was level in dollars compared to 3Q18, with margin of 21.2% compared to 23.4%. This primarily reflected greater contribution from Nightclubs offset by reduced contribution from Bombshells and higher corporate overhead due to legal fees associated with the previously-announced inquiry.
●	Nightclubs Segment: Revenues of $37.9 million increased $2.6 million or 7.5%, with 38 units in both periods. Operating income increased 11.5% to $14.0 million (37.0% of revenues) from $12.6 million (35.7%). On a non-GAAP basis, segment income increased 11.2% to $13.9 million from $12.5 million with margin expanding to 36.6% from 35.4%.
●	Bombshells Segment: Revenues of $8.8 million increased $1.6 million or 23.0%, with 8 units compared to 6. Operating income was $686K (7.8% of revenues) compared to $1.4 million (19.5%). This reflected reduced operating leverage due to the previously reported decline in same-store sales as well as expenses without the benefit of corresponding revenues from two locations expected to open in 4Q19. While down from 3Q18, same-store sales continued their sequential quarterly improvement in FY19.
●	Interest & Taxes: Interest expense of $2.5 million (5.4% of revenues) increased $235K from $2.3 million (5.4%) due to higher debt related to the Pittsburgh and Chicago club acquisitions and new debt on acquired real estate for Bombshells development, and a lower weighted average interest rate. Income tax expense was level with 3Q18 as the effective tax rate fell to 24.1% from 25.3% with the full effect in FY19 of the federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
●	Asset Management: There were two real estate sales: (i) a portion of excess land around newly opened Bombshells I-10 in Houston sold for $1.1 million cash and a $331K pre-tax gain after closing costs with proceeds used in part to pay down $942K in debt on the entire Bombshells I-10 property; and (ii) a small property in Lubbock, TX sold for $350K cash and a $376K loss after closing costs with proceeds used in part to pay down $331K remaining debt on the property. During and subsequent to 3Q19, both excess aircraft were sold for a total of $1.1 million in cash and a small gain after closing costs with proceeds used to pay down $883K in remaining debt on the assets. Also during 3Q19, both the former Club Onyx and Foxy’s Cabaret locations in Dallas were leased out.
●	Balance Sheet Highlights (June 30, 2019 compared to March 31, 2019): Cash and cash equivalents of $11.0 million increased $2.7 million. Total stockholder’s equity of $168.9 million increased $5.0 million due to retained earnings. Total debt of $146.6 million declined $3.2 million.

 

Financial Information Is Preliminary and Subject to Change

 

The unaudited interim financial information presented in this news release is preliminary and has not been reviewed by an independent registered public accounting firm. When RCI files its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019 periods, the financial statements for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 may differ from the results disclosed in this news release and the differences may be material. The final financial results reported for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 may also differ from the results reported in this release as a result of review procedures to be performed by an independent registered public accounting firm.

 

 

 

*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 (or including) some items that management believes are not representative of the ongoing business operations of the Company, but are included in (or excluded from) 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 calculate non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP operating margin by excluding the following items from income from operations and operating margin: amortization of intangibles, gains or losses on sale of assets, gain on insurance, and settlement of lawsuits. 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 Diluted Share. We calculate non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share by excluding or including certain items to net income attributable to RCIHH common shareholders and diluted earnings per share. Excluded items are: amortization of intangibles, costs and charges related to debt refinancing, income tax expense (benefit), gains or losses on sale of assets, gain on insurance, and settlement of lawsuits. Included item is the non-GAAP provision for current and deferred income taxes, calculated at 22.8% and 26.5% effective tax rate of the pre-tax non-GAAP income before taxes for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. We believe that excluding and including such items help management and investors better understand our operating activities.
●	Adjusted EBITDA. We calculate adjusted EBITDA by excluding the following items from net income attributable to RCIHH common shareholders: depreciation expense, amortization of intangibles, income tax expense (benefit), net interest expense, gains or losses on sale of assets, gain on insurance, and settlement of lawsuits. We believe that adjusting for such items helps management and investors better understand our 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. 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.
●	Management also uses non-GAAP cash flow measures such as free cash flow. Free cash flow is derived from net cash provided by operating activities less maintenance capital expenditures. We use free cash flow as the baseline for the implementation of our capital allocation strategy.
