RCI Hospitality president and CEO Eric Langan said: “We performed well in fiscal 2018. Revenues increased 14.4%, a combination of 4.6% in consolidated same-store sales and solid results from our club acquisitions and new Bombshells.

“The only challenge was a number of one-time factors that affected Bombshells growth in 4Q18, but we’re in the process of rebuilding and it’s headed in the right direction.

“FY19 should benefit from the Chicago and Pittsburgh acquisitions, the opening of new Bombshells in the Houston area, the sale or lease of non-income producing properties, and other factors.

“Blush and VIP’s, both to be rebranded Rick’s Cabaret, have performed well since their November acquisitions, while the new Bombshells has also performed well since opening 19 December.”
