Rick’s Cabaret International, Inc. Reports May Adult Nightclub Sales of $6.7 Million
The overall gross revenue decline from the $7.2 million reported in May 2009 was chiefly due to lower sales at the company’s Rick’s Cabaret in Las Vegas, where sales dropped from nearly $1.6 million in 2009 to about $635,000 because the company stopped paying extraordinarily high taxi cab-related marketing costs.
Rick’s Cabaret International, Inc. (NASDAQ: RICK), the nation’s premier group of upscale gentlemen’s clubs, reported sales of $6.7 million for its adult nightclubs in May.
The overall gross revenue decline from the $7.2 million reported in May 2009 was chiefly due to lower sales at the company’s Rick’s Cabaret in Las Vegas, where sales dropped from nearly $1.6 million in 2009 to about $635,000 because the company stopped paying extraordinarily high taxi cab-related marketing costs.
“We are monitoring the taxi cab marketing costs closely.”
“The Las Vegas sales were lower, but the net impact on the company is minimal because we achieved our revenues with much lower marketing cost,” said Eric Langan, President and CEO of Rick’s Cabaret. “We are monitoring the taxi cab marketing costs closely.”
Among its clubs showing year-over-year sales increases in May, the company cited strong performances from Rick’s Cabaret in New York City, the XTC Cabaret locations in Dallas, San Antonio and Austin, and from Club Onyx in Dallas.
If Las Vegas is removed from the calculation, overall same club sales for May compared with 2009 showed a 3.3 percent decline.
