Eric Langan, President and CEO, said:

"Despite this uncertain economy, the core strength of our business enabled RCI to generate $72.3 million in revenue in 2Q24 compared to $71.5 million last year. While GAAP EPS of $0.08 primarily reflected $8.0 million in non-cash impairment, non-GAAP EPS totaled $0.90, near the high end of expectations."

"The Nightclubs segment generated $59.4 million in revenue in 2Q24 compared to $57.0 million last year. Separately, the effort begun mid-February to improve the Bombshells segment resulted in steady sales and better margins on a sequential quarter basis. In addition, we continued to make progress developing new locations and upgrading existing ones to further grow RCI."

"We're committed to following our capital allocation strategy, concentrating on our core nightclubs business, evaluating potential acquisitions, and buying back stock. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, we increased our cash position $20 million by closing on our planned bank loan."

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:
