“Non-GAAP operating income increased 9.9% as operating margin expanded 64 basis points due to increased operating leverage from higher revenues, in particular, higher service revenues, which were up 9.1%.

“This was despite legal, advertising and marketing costs related to the acquisitions of new clubs. Accordingly, non-GAAP EPS increased 15.1% to $0.61 and free cash flow increased 47% to $11.1m.”

The company currently operates more than 40 restaurants and bars under Rick’s Cabaret, XTC, Club Onyx, Vivid Cabaret, Jaguars, Tootsie’s Cabaret, Scarlett’s Cabaret and Bombshells Restaurant & Bar brands.

Langan added: “We look forward to the balance of the year. Our FY19 plan calls for continuing to integrate our new clubs in Chicago and Pittsburgh, opening three more Bombshells Restaurant & Bars in the Houston area, improving Bombshells same-store sales, selling excess land developed around several of the new Bombshells, further reducing costs, and continuing our capital allocation strategy as it applies to buybacks.”
