Description: RICK RCI Hospitality Holdings December 29, 2025
RCI Hospitality Holdings (NASDAQ:RICK) operates a portfolio of upscale adult nightclubs, a single dance club (Studio 80), and a chain of restaurants and sports bars under the Bombshells brand. The firm also runs industry-focused conventions, trade publications, award shows, and related digital properties, and holds a license to sell Robust Energy Drink in the U.S. Founded in 1983 and headquartered in Houston, Texas, RCI rebranded from Rick’s Cabaret International in 2014 and now reports under the “Leisure Facilities” sub-industry.
Key operating metrics that analysts watch include same-store sales growth (≈ 5 % YoY in FY 2023), adjusted EBITDA of roughly $30 million with an EBITDA margin near 18 %, and cash-flow conversion exceeding 1.2×, indicating solid earnings quality. The business is sensitive to discretionary-spending trends-consumer confidence and personal-income growth drive foot traffic-while local zoning regulations and licensing restrictions represent the primary regulatory risk. A sector-wide driver is the rising consumer appetite for experiential nightlife, which has helped adult-entertainment venues post-pandemic outperform broader hospitality peers.
