SEC filingRCI Hospitality Holdings, Inc. reported FY 2025 total revenues of $279.4 million, down 5.5% from $295.6 million in FY 2024, primarily due to a 0.6% decline in Nightclubs segment revenue and softer Bombshells performance amid macroeconomic pressures and same-store sales drop of -2.1% for Nightclubs. Gross profit stood at $242.8 million (86.9% margin), slightly improved from prior year, driven by cost controls on COGS at $36.6 million.

Cash from operations reached $49.4 million, supporting $14.5 million capex and $24.0 million investing outflows, with free cash flow of $34.9 million. Balance sheet remains solid with $596.9M assets, $33.7M cash, but elevated debt at $235.8M net. Forward, focus on Nightclubs (70 venues) and Bombshells expansion, though risks from legal issues, impairments, and competition persist.
