Rick’s Cabaret International, Inc. (NASDAQ: RICK), the premier chain of upscale gentlemen’s clubs, said its nightclub sales in its first quarter ending December 31, 2008 were $16,942,864 versus $10,774,293 for the same period a year earlier, a 57 percent improvement.
Sales for clubs it has operated for more than one year were $8,767,191 for the quarter, essentially level with the $8,772,902 reported in the same period a year ago.
“Despite strong sales at Rick’s Cabaret in New York City our overall same location sales were flat compared with last year and our margins are being squeezed, so we believe our first quarter earnings will fall below our earlier expectations,” said Eric Langan, President and CEO of the company. “We have begun to make operating changes in the clubs that are not meeting expectations and this is already having an impact. For example, we have converted our Philadelphia location to a Club Onyx and have seen an immediate improvement there. We will re-brand our Rick’s Cabaret in Dallas as an all-nude XTC Cabaret later this week and we expect a quick and positive impact. Our primary focus at this time is improving revenues and margins, and if we determine that certain clubs do not have the potential for improvement we will sell them or shut them.” About Rick’s Cabaret: Rick’s Cabaret International, Inc.
