While GAAP EPS of $0.08 primarily reflected $8.0 million in non-cash impairment, non-GAAP EPS totaled $0.90, near the high end of expectations.\"\n\"The Nightclubs segment generated $59.4 million in revenue in 2Q24 compared to $57.0 million last year. Separately, the effort begun mid-February to improve the Bombshells segment resulted in steady sales and better margins on a sequential quarter basis. In addition, we continued to make progress developing new locations and upgrading existing ones to further grow RCI.\"\n\"We're committed to following our capital allocation strategy, concentrating on our core nightclubs business, evaluating potential acquisitions, and buying back stock. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, we increased our cash position $20 million by closing on our planned bank loan.\"\nConference Call at 4:30 PM ET Today\nX Space: https://x.com/ricksceo/status/1787271843239338182 (X log in required)Use mobile phone to participate in X Space Q&APhone: Toll Free 877-545-0320, International 973-528-0002, Passcode: 200202 (listen only)Presentation: https://www.rcihospitality.com/investor-relations/Webcast: https://www.webcaster4.com/Webcast/Page/2209/50516 (listen only)Meet Management at 7:00 PM ET Tonight\nInvestors are invited to meet management at one of RCI's top revenue generating clubsRick's C...
