Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

  1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of RCI Hospitality Holdings, Inc. (the “Company,” “RCIHH,” “we,” or “us”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP” or “U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q of Regulation S-X. They do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The September 30, 2025 consolidated balance sheet data were derived from audited financial statements but do not include all disclosures required by GAAP. However, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material change in the information disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2025, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 19, 2026. The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with those consolidated financial statements included in the Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the financial statements, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, have been made. Operating results for the six months ended March 31, 2026, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2026.

  1. Recent Accounting Standards and Pronouncements

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which expands disclosures about income statement expenses. The guidance requires disaggregation of certain costs and expenses included in each relevant expense caption on our consolidated statements of income in a separate note to the financial statements at each interim and annual reporting period, including amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, as clarified by ASU 2025-01, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this ASU should be applied either (1) prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of the ASU or (2) retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2024-03 on our financial statement disclosures.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements, which intended to improve the navigability of the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 270 and clarify when it applies. Under the amendments, an entity is subject to ASC 270 if it provides interim financial statements and notes in accordance with GAAP. The ASU also addresses the form and content of such financial statements, adds list to ASC 270 of the interim disclosures required by all other ASC topics, and establishes a principle under which an entity must disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. The amendments are not intended to change the fundamental nature of interim reporting or expand or reduce current interim disclosure requirements but rather to reflect the effects of the SEC's form and content requirements related to interim reporting. The amendments of this ASU are effective to us for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. This ASU may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2025-11 on our interim reporting financial statement disclosures.

  1. Segment Information

The Company, through its subsidiaries, owns and operates adult nightclubs and Bombshells Restaurants and Bars. The Company has identified such segments based on how the chief operating decision maker assigns management responsibility; how financial information is regularly reviewed; the nature of the Company’s products, services, and costs; regulatory environments; and how resources are allocated. There are no major distinctions in geographical areas served as all operations are in the United States. The Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is its chief executive officer. The Company measures segment profit (loss) as income (loss) from operations. Segment assets are those assets controlled by each reportable segment. The Other category below includes our media and energy drink divisions that are not significant to the consolidated financial statements.

In adopting ASU 2023-07, we recastone of our shared-services subsidiary from Other to Corporate. We also recast three previously planned and previously reported casino-related subsidiaries classified in Other to Nightclubs and Bombshells. We reclassified certain prior year segment disclosures to conform to current year presentation.
