Summary Financials (in millions, except EPS) 2Q25 2Q24 6M25 6M24 Total revenues $65.9 $72.3 $137.4 $146.2 EPS $0.36 $0.08 $1.38 $0.85 Non-GAAP EPS 1 $0.65 $0.90 $1.46 $1.76 Impairments and other charges (gains), net $2.1 $8.2 $(0.1) $8.2 Net cash provided by operating activities $8.5 $10.8 $21.9 $24.5 Free cash flow 1 $6.9 $8.8 $19.0 $21.5 Net income attributable to RCIHH common stockholders $3.2 $0.8 $12.3 $8.0 Adjusted EBITDA 1 $14.2 $17.2 $29.9 $34.7 Weighted average shares used in computing EPS – basic and diluted 8.86 9.35 8.89 9.36 Expand 1 See 'Non-GAAP Financial Measures' below. 2Q25 Summary (Comparisons are to the year-ago period unless indicated otherwise) Eric Langan, President and CEO, said: "As previously announced, revenues primarily reflect the sale/divestiture of five underperforming Bombshells segment locations and the effect of severe weather on company same-store sales in January and February, partially offset by improving trends in March. Profitability primarily reflects lower SSS, lower costs from the sale/divestiture of the Bombshells related units, and lower impairments. During and subsequent to 2Q25, we continued to make progress with our Back to Basics 5-Year Capital Allocation Plan, acquiring clubs, completing projects, and buying back shares." Back to Basics 5-Year Capital Allocation Plan (FY25-29) 2Q25: Acquired Flight Club, the premier gentlemen's club in the Detroit market ($8.0 million for the club and $3.0 million for the real estate). 2Q25: Opened Bombshells in Denver, CO, and the rebranded/reformatted Chicas Locas in El Paso, TX. 2Q25: Repurchased 56,875 common shares for $2.9 million ($50.92 average per share), with 8,832,125 shares outstanding at March 31, 2025. 3Q25: Acquired Platinum West of West Columbia, SC, the only upscale adult nightclub in the central part of the state ($6.25 million for the club and $1.75 million for the real estate).

Presentation link: To ask questions: Participants must join the X Space using a mobile device. To listen only: Participants can access the X Space from a computer. There will be no other types of telephone or webcast access. 2Q25 Results (Comparisons are to the year-ago period unless indicated otherwise) Nightclubs segment: Revenues of $57.5 million declined by 3.1%. Sales, which were affected by weather in January and February, reflected a 3.5% decline in same-store sales and the absence of Baby Dolls Fort Worth due to fire in July 2024, partially offset by five new and/or reformatted clubs not in SSS. 2 By type of revenue, alcoholic beverages declined 5.3%, service declined 2.9%, and food, merchandise and other increased 2.4%. Impairments and other charges totaled $2.0 million compared to $8.2 million. Operating income was $14.6 million (25.4% of segment revenues) compared to $11.0 million (18.6%). Results primarily reflected the impairment decline, partially offset by the sales decline. Non-GAAP operating income was $17.1 million (29.8% of segment revenues) compared to $19.8 million (33.4%). Non-GAAP results primarily reflected the sales decline. Bombshells segment: Revenues of $8.2 million declined 35.6%. Sales, which were similarly affected by bad weather in January and February, reflected the sale/divestiture of five underperforming locations and a 13.4% decline in SSS, partially offset by two locations not in SSS (Stafford, TX, and Denver, CO). 2 Operating loss was $227,000 (-2.8% of segment revenues) compared to income of $699,000 (5.5%). Non-GAAP operating loss was $67,000 (-0.8% of segment revenues) compared to income of $750,000 (5.9%). Results primarily reflected the sales decline from open locations and Bombshells Denver pre-opening costs, most of which were offset by the sale/divestiture of non-performing locations. Corporate segment: Expenses totaled $5.5 million (8.4% of total revenues) compared to $6.8 million (9.4%). Non-GAAP expenses totaled $5.4 million (8.2% of total revenues) compared to $6.3 million (8.8%). The decline primarily reflected lower overhead from fewer locations. Impairments and other charges (gains), net within consolidated operations totaled $2.1 million compared to $8.2 million. Income tax expense was $1.1 million compared to $5,000. The effective tax rate was 25.1% compared to 0.7%. Weighted average shares outstanding of 8.86 million declined 5.2% due to share buybacks. Debt was $241.5 million at March 31, 2025 compared to $235.5 million at December 31, 2024. The increase primarily reflected Flight Club new acquisition related debt and Bombshells Rowlett and Lubbock construction financing, partially offset by scheduled pay downs. 2 See our April 8, 2025 news release on 2Q25 sales for more details. Non-GAAP Financial Measures In addition to our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures, within the meaning of the SEC Regulation G, to clarify and enhance understanding of past performance and prospects for the future. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's operating performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes or includes amounts that are included in or excluded from the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. We monitor non-GAAP financial measures because it describes the operating performance of the Company and helps management and investors gauge our ability to generate cash flow, excluding (or including) some items that management believes are not representative of the ongoing business operations of the Company, but are included in (or excluded from) the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Relative to each of the non-GAAP financial measures, we further set forth our rationale as follows: Non-GAAP Operating Income and Non-GAAP Operating Margin. We calculate non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP operating margin by excluding the following items from income from operations and operating margin: (a) amortization of intangibles, (b) impairment of assets, (c) settlement of lawsuits, (d) gains or losses on sale of businesses and assets, (e) gains or losses on insurance, and (f) stock-based compensation. We believe that excluding these items assists investors in evaluating period-over-period changes in our operating income and operating margin without the impact of items that are not a result of our day-to-day business and operations. Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Net Income per Diluted Share. We calculate non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share by excluding or including certain items to net income or loss attributable to RCIHH common stockholders and diluted earnings per share. Adjustment items are: (a) amortization of intangibles, (b) impairment of assets, (c) settlement of lawsuits, (d) gains or losses on sale of businesses and assets, (e) gains or losses on insurance, (f) stock-based compensation, (g) gains or losses on lease termination, and (h) the income tax effect of the above-described adjustments. Included in the income tax effect of the above adjustments is the net effect of the non-GAAP provision for income taxes, calculated at 18.1% and 18.4% effective tax rate of the pre-tax non-GAAP income before taxes for the six months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively, and the GAAP income tax expense (benefit). We believe that excluding and including such items help management and investors better understand our operating activities. Adjusted EBITDA. We calculate adjusted EBITDA by excluding the following items from net income or loss attributable to RCIHH common stockholders: (a) depreciation and amortization, (b) impairment of assets, (c) income tax expense, (d) net interest expense, (e) settlement of lawsuits, (f) gains or losses on sale of businesses and assets, (g) gains or losses on insurance, (h) stock-based compensation, and (i) gains or losses on lease termination. We believe that adjusting for such items helps management and investors better understand our operating activities. Adjusted EBITDA provides a core operational performance measurement that compares results without the need to adjust for federal, state and local taxes which have considerable variation between domestic jurisdictions. The results are, therefore, without consideration of financing alternatives of capital employed. We use adjusted EBITDA as one guideline to assess our unleveraged performance return on our investments. Adjusted EBITDA is also the target benchmark for our acquisitions of nightclubs. We also use certain non-GAAP cash flow measures such as free cash flow. Free cash flow is derived from net cash provided by operating activities less maintenance capital expenditures. We use free cash flow as the baseline for the implementation of our capital allocation strategy. About RCI Hospitality Holdings, Inc.

Sales primarily reflected a 3.7% increase in same-store sales, three new and reformatted clubs in Texas, and the absence of Baby Dolls Fort Worth due to fire in July.2 By type of revenue, food, merchandise and other increased by 8.6%; alcoholic beverages increased by 3.0%; and service declined by 3.7%. The quarter included a gain of $1.0 million from additional cash insurance proceeds related to the July fire. Operating income was $20.9 million (33.8% of segment revenues) compared to $20.4 million (33.4%). Non-GAAP operating income, which does not include the gain, was $20.6 million (33.4% of segment revenues) compared to $21.0 million (34.3%). Bombshells segment: Revenues of $9.6 million declined 24.7%. Sales primarily reflected the sale/closure of underperforming locations, a 7.5% decline in SSS, and a full quarter of the Stafford, TX location, which opened in mid-November 2023.2 The quarter included a gain of $1.3 million for a Bombshells that was sold. Operating income was $2.0 million (20.6% of segment revenues) compared to $86,000 (0.7%).

Other gains, net of $2.2 million within consolidated operations included the fire insurance proceeds and the gain on sale as discussed in the Nightclubs and Bombshells paragraphs above, respectively. Income tax expense was $1.85 million compared to $1.80 million. The effective tax rate was 16.9% compared to 19.9%.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures In addition to our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures, within the meaning of the SEC Regulation G, to clarify and enhance understanding of past performance and prospects for the future. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's operating performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes or includes amounts that are included in or excluded from the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. We monitor non-GAAP financial measures because it describes the operating performance of the Company and helps management and investors gauge our ability to generate cash flow, excluding (or including) some items that management believes are not representative of the ongoing business operations of the Company, but are included in (or excluded from) the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Relative to each of the non-GAAP financial measures, we further set forth our rationale as follows: Non-GAAP Operating Income and Non-GAAP Operating Margin. We calculate non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP operating margin by excluding the following items from income from operations and operating margin: (a) amortization of intangibles, (b) settlement of lawsuits, (c) gains or losses on sale of businesses and assets, (d) gains or losses on insurance, and (e) stock-based compensation. We believe that excluding these items assists investors in evaluating period-over-period changes in our operating income and operating margin without the impact of items that are not a result of our day-to-day business and operations. Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Net Income per Diluted Share. We calculate non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share by excluding or including certain items to net income or loss attributable to RCIHH common stockholders and diluted earnings per share. Adjustment items are: (a) amortization of intangibles, (b) settlement of lawsuits, (c) gains or losses on sale of businesses and assets, (d) gains or losses on insurance, (e) stock-based compensation, (f) gains or losses on lease termination, and (g) the income tax effect of the above-described adjustments. Included in the income tax effect of the above adjustments is the net effect of the non-GAAP provision for income taxes, calculated at 17.7% and 19.9% effective tax rate of the pre-tax non-GAAP income before taxes for the three months ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively, and the GAAP income tax expense (benefit). We believe that excluding and including such items help management and investors better understand our operating activities. Adjusted EBITDA. We calculate adjusted EBITDA by excluding the following items from net income or loss attributable to RCIHH common stockholders: (a) depreciation and amortization, (b) income tax expense, (c) net interest expense, (d) settlement of lawsuits, (e) gains or losses on sale of businesses and assets, (f) gains or losses on insurance, (g) stock-based compensation, and (h) gains or losses on lease termination. We believe that adjusting for such items helps management and investors better understand our operating activities. Adjusted EBITDA provides a core operational performance measurement that compares results without the need to adjust for federal, state and local taxes which have considerable variation between domestic jurisdictions. The results are, therefore, without consideration of financing alternatives of capital employed. We use adjusted EBITDA as one guideline to assess our unleveraged performance return on our investments. Adjusted EBITDA is also the target benchmark for our acquisitions of nightclubs. We also use certain non-GAAP cash flow measures such as free cash flow. Free cash flow is derived from net cash provided by operating activities less maintenance capital expenditures. We use free cash flow as the baseline for the implementation of our capital allocation strategy. About RCI Hospitality Holdings, Inc.
