Termination of Southern Acquisition Does Not Impact EPS Guidance; VCG Holding Corp. Reaffirms Outlook
January 16 2008 - 8:00AM
Business Wire
VCG Holding Corp. (NASDAQ: VCGH), a growing and leading
consolidator and operator of adult nightclubs, today responded to
questions investors have raised regarding the termination of the
Southern Clubs acquisition. Troy Lowrie, Chairman and CEO of VCG
Holding, stated, �I believe there was some confusion regarding
yesterday�s press release. During our third-quarter earnings call
on November 19, 2007, and in a subsequent press release on November
29, 2007 we detailed the 2008 run rate and gave guidance for the
2008 and 2009 earnings per share that the Company expects to earn a
minimum of $0.86 to $0.92 and $1.15 to $1.25, respectively. When
that guidance was provided, we did not include the Southern Clubs
in our projections. As a result, the formal termination of the
Southern Clubs acquisition does not in any way change our
previously provided guidance. �The decision to terminate the
acquisition was based on our belief that given the highly
attractive acquisition environment, we could generate an even
higher return on capital from other acquisitions we are currently
negotiating than we could have with the Southern acquisition. I
want to again emphasize, our pipeline of opportunities remains
strong and we are being presented with many acquisition
opportunities that meet our stated objectives,� concluded Mr.
Lowrie. About VCG Holding Corp. VCG Holding Corp. is an owner,
