AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). These financial statements have not been audited by independent public accountants but include all adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring accruals, which in the opinion of management of IHOP Corp. and Subsidiaries ("IHOP" or the "Company") are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations for the periods presented. The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1997 has been derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1998, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 1998. 5 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Results of Operations The following table sets forth certain operating data for IHOP restaurants:
Three Months Ended March 31, ------------------------------------------ 1998 1997 --------------- --------------- (Dollars in thousands) Restaurant Data Effective restaurants (a) Franchise 567 533 Company 74 60 Area license 144 137 -------- -------- Total 785 730 ======== ======== System-wide Sales (b) $247,412 $216,459 Percent increase 14.3% 14.2% Average sales per effective restaurant $ 315 $ 297 Percent increase 6.1% 6.5% Comparable average sales per restaurant (c) $ 322 $ 302 Percent increase 3.7% 3.9% Franchise Sales $194,549 $168,547 Percent increase 15.4% 14.8% Average sales per effective Restaurant $ 343 $ 316 Percent increase 8.5% 6.8% Comparable average sales per restaurant (c) $ 334 $ 311 Percent increase 4.2% 4.2% Company Sales $ 17,685 $ 14,048 Percent increase 25.9% 22.7% Average sales per effective Restaurant $ 239 $ 234 Percent increase 2.1% 6.4% Area License Sales $ 35,178 $ 33,864 Percent increase 3.9% 8.3% Average sales per effective Restaurant $ 244 $ 247 Percent change (1.2)% 4.2%
- ---------------- (a) "Effective restaurants" are the number of restaurants in a given fiscal period adjusted to account for restaurants open only a portion of the period. (b) "System-wide sales" are retail sales of franchisees, area licensees and Company-operated restaurants as reported to the Company. (c) "Comparable average sales" reflects sales for restaurants that are operated for the entire fiscal period in which they are being compared. Comparable average sales do not include data on restaurants located in Florida and Japan. 6 The following table summarizes IHOP's restaurant development and franchising activity:

- -------------- (a) The Company reports restaurants in Canada as franchise restaurants although the eleven restaurants are operated under an area license agreement. The following discussion and analysis provides information management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the Company's consolidated results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997. Certain forward-looking statements are contained in this quarterly report. They use such words as "may," "will," "expect," "believe," "plan," or other similar terminology. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause the actual results to be materially different than those expressed or implied in such statements. These factors include, but are not limited to: availability of suitable locations and terms of the sites designated for development; legislation and government regulation including the ability to obtain satisfactory regulatory approvals; conditions beyond the Company's control such as weather or natural disasters; availability and cost of materials and labor; cost and availability of capital; competition; continuing acceptance of the International House of Pancakes brand and concept by guests and franchisees; the Company's overall marketing, operational and financial performance; 7 economic and political conditions; adoption of new, or changes in, accounting policies and practices and other factors discussed from time to time in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward-looking information is provided by the Company pursuant to the safe harbor established under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and should be evaluated in the context of these factors. The Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements. IHOP's quarterly results are subject to seasonal fluctuation. IHOP's results of operations are impacted by the timing of additions of new restaurants, by the timing of the franchising of those restaurants, and by the number and profitability of restaurants in the Company's inventory of restaurants that are available for refranchising. Revenues from sales of franchises and equipment and their associated costs of sales are affected by the mix and number of restaurants franchised, as follows: (i) franchise rights with respect to restaurants newly developed by IHOP normally sell for a franchise fee of $200,000 to $350,000, and such restaurants have little if any franchise cost of sales and have equipment in excess of $300,000 that is usually sold at a price that includes little or no profit margin; (ii) franchise rights with respect to restaurants developed by franchisees normally sell for a franchise fee of $50,000, and such restaurants have minor associated franchise cost of sales and do not include an equipment sale; and (iii) previously reacquired franchises normally sell for a franchise fee of $100,000 to $300,000, include an equipment sale, and may have substantial costs of sales associated with both the franchise and the equipment. As a consequence of the foregoing factors, the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1998, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 1998. System-wide retail sales for the first quarter of 1998 grew 14.3% over system- wide retail sales for the first quarter of 1997. This was due to increases of 7.5% in the number of effective restaurants and 6.1% in average per unit revenues. System-wide comparable average sales per restaurant (exclusive of area license restaurants) for the first quarter of 1998 grew by 3.7% over those in the first quarter of 1997. Management continues to pursue growth in sales through the Company's restaurant development program, its advertising and marketing efforts, improvements in customer service and operations, and the Company's remodeling program. Franchise operations revenues for the first quarter of 1998 grew 14.4% over franchise operations revenues for the first quarter of 1997. This was primarily due to an increase in revenues per effective franchised restaurant of 8.5% and an increase in the number of effective franchised restaurants of 6.4%. Franchise operations costs and expenses for the first quarter of 1998 increased 14.0% over costs and expenses for the first quarter of 1997. As a result of franchise revenues increasing in excess of franchise expenses, franchise margin increased to 55.9% in the first quarter of 1998 versus 55.8% in the comparable 1997 period. Company-operated restaurant revenues in the first quarter of 1998 grew 25.9% over revenues for the first quarter of 1997. This was primarily due to an increase in the number of effective Company-operated restaurants of 23.3% and an increase in revenues per effective Company-operated restaurant of 2.1%. Company- operated restaurant costs and expenses for the first quarter of 1998 increased 22.5% from costs and expenses for the first quarter of 1997. Margin at Company- operated restaurants in the first quarter of 1998 increased to 7.0% compared with 4.4% in the comparable 1997 period. The change in margin was primarily due to reductions in employee costs and operating expenses as a percentage of revenues. 8 Other revenues in the first quarter of 1998 grew 35.3% over other revenues for the first quarter of 1997. This was primarily due to an increase in revenues from the sale of franchises and equipment to $4,047,000, from $2,924,000, and an increase of 31.2% in interest income from direct financing leases. Other costs and expenses in the first quarter of 1998 increased 56.4% over those in the first quarter of 1997 primarily from the increase in franchise and equipment cost of sales to $2,339,000, from $1,655,000, and a significant increase in preopening expenses associated with opening more new IHOP restaurants than in the comparable period. IHOP franchised nine restaurants in the first quarter of 1998 compared with six in the first quarter of 1997. Field, corporate and administrative costs and expenses in the first quarter of 1998 increased 10.4% over costs and expenses in the first quarter of 1997, principally due to increases in employee-related expenses, including salaries and wages. Field, corporate and administrative expenses were 3.1% of system-wide sales in the first quarter of 1998 compared to 3.3% in the first quarter of 1997. Depreciation and amortization expense in the first quarter of 1998 increased 9.9% over that of the comparable 1997 period, primarily reflecting the addition of new, larger restaurants, and an increase in the number of Company-operated restaurants. Interest expense increased 17.2% in the first quarter of 1998 over that of the comparable 1997 period primarily due to interest associated with increased capital lease obligations. Provision for income taxes was 39.0% of income before income taxes in both the first quarter of 1998 and the first quarter of 1997. Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- The Company invests available funds into its business primarily through the development of additional restaurants and, to a lesser extent, through the remodeling of older Company-operated restaurants. In 1998, IHOP and its franchisees and area licensees plan to develop and open approximately 70 to 85 restaurants. Included in that number are the development of 50 to 60 new restaurants by the Company and the development of 20 to 25 restaurants by IHOP franchisees and area licensees. Capital expenditure projections for 1998, which include IHOP's portion of the above development program, are approximately $60 to $75 million. In November 1998, the third annual installment of $4.6 million in principal becomes due on the Company's senior notes due 2002. The Company expects that funds from operations, sale and leaseback arrangements (estimated to be about $35 million) and its revolving line of credit will be sufficient to cover its operating requirements, its budgeted capital expenditures and its principal repayment on its senior notes in 1998. At March 31, 1998, $20 million was available to be borrowed under the Company's unsecured bank revolving credit agreement. 9 Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

EFFECTIVE DATE
The Executive Incentive Plan is effective January 1, 1998, and supersedes all
previously implemented plans.

MODIFICATION OF THE PLAN

IHOP CORP reserves the right to modify, terminate or make exceptions to the
Executive Incentive Plan at any time without prior notice.  The Plan will be
reviewed on an annual basis allowing for updates or revisions to be considered.
The Plan and this Plan Document do not constitute or imply an employment
contract, and participants accrue no interest, right or any benefit in the Plan,
except as specifically set forth in this document.

ELIGIBILITY

The Plan includes the President, Vice Presidents and all director level reports
to the Vice Presidents or President, including legal counsels of the IHOP
Corporation and its subsidiaries; except those otherwise covered by another
plan.  Any director level employee not qualifying to the previous conditions may
become eligible with the written approval of the President.  Participants must
be actively employed with IHOP Corp. and its subsidiaries through the plan year
of the bonus plan.  The last day worked is the last day an employee is
considered active.  In the case of termination, vacation or other payments can
not be used to extend the last day worked.

The incentive calculations are based on the position held at the end of the
fiscal year the incentive was earned, unless otherwise stated below.

NEW HIRES/RE-HIRES

New hires and re-hires eligible for the Plan will have the incentive amount
prorated based on the number of whole months worked in the fiscal year.  If the
participant begins work on the first calendar or workday of the month, they will
be credited for a whole month worked.  In the event an eligible employee is
terminated and re-hired in the same fiscal year, the re-hire date will be used
to determine the number of whole months to be prorated for the given year.  For
re-hired participants, incentive will not consider any time worked prior to the
re-hire date.

PROMOTIONS

Any employee promoted to an eligible position during the fiscal year will have
an incentive prorated based on the number of whole months in the fiscal year.
If the participant is promoted on the first calendar or workday of the month,
they will be credited for a whole month worked. The effective date of the
promotion will be used to determine the number of whole months worked.

DEMOTIONS

When an employee is demoted from one eligible position to another the incentive
will be calculated using the base pay at the end of the fiscal year.  The
percentage multiplier will be derived from the factor that relates to the
specific job at the end of the fiscal year.  Therefore, the calculations for the
incentive will be based on the attributes of the current job.  There will be no
prorated incentives for individuals demoted during the fiscal year to an
eligible position.

JOB CHANGE TO A NON-ELIGIBLE POSITION

Any employee changing from an eligible position to a non-eligible position
during the fiscal year will have an incentive prorated  based on the number of
whole months in the fiscal year.  The effective date of the job change will be
used to determine the number of whole months worked.  If the participant changed
positions on the first calendar or workday of the month, the previous month will
be used to determine the last whole month worked.

                                       2

 
SHORT-TERM OR LONG-TERM DISABILITY, WORKERS' COMPENSATION AND OTHER LEAVES OF
ABSENCE

Any participant on leave of absence, or otherwise not actively working during
the fiscal year will have an incentive prorated excluding the period on leave.
The date the leave is effective and the date ending leave will be used to
calculate the number of whole months worked in the fiscal year.  This incentive
will only be paid upon the employees returning to active duty.

TERMINATION DUE TO DEATH OR RETIREMENT

Any incentive earned will be prorated for the fiscal year earned and awarded
with the normal distribution of incentives.  The incentive amount will be based
on the number of whole months worked in the fiscal year earned.

PLAN DESCRIPTION

The Executive Incentive Plan is an annual incentive based on the profitability
growth of IHOP Corp. and on the achievement of specific individual business
objectives of the participants.

DETERMINING INCENTIVE

The incentive award is a percentage of base salary which is dependent on the
position of the participant (see "Bonus Allocation Table").  The Target Payout %
multiplied by the participants base salary on the last day of the fiscal year is
the Target Incentive in dollars.  Any eligible participant that is not an
Officer will have an incentive based on the Directors Target Payout as a
percentage of Base Salary.  The incentive weighting for the CEO is solely based
on Company Performance.  The incentive weighting for Executive Vice President,
Vice Presidents, and Directors is 40% Individual Business Objectives and 60%
Company Performance.


BONUS ALLOCATION TABLE --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CEO EXECUTIVE VICE VICE PRESIDENTS DIRECTORS PRESIDENT --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TARGET PAYOUT AS A % OF BASE SALARY 60% 50% 35% 20% - -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Incentive Payout Calculation The incentive payout is based solely on performance, therefore no limiting factors will be used in calculating the incentive. The Level of Performance is always based on the last whole percentage actually achieved. Examples of incentive calculations in various scenarios are attached to the Plan Document. COMPANY PERFORMANCE The Company Performance is based on a comparison of the actual profit before taxes and extraordinary items to the budgeted figure for the Plan Year.

During this process challenging, measurable objectives that significantly impact the Company business objectives are to be mutually determined. After the fiscal year, a percentage of Achievement is then established by the immediate supervisor and approved by the CEO. This percentage of Achievement is multiplied by the percentage weighting for the respective position (see "Determining Incentive") and then multiplied by the individual's base salary to determine the individual portion of the payout. In addition to the calculated individual portion of the incentive, an award may be granted at the discretion of the President to individuals exceeding expected levels of performance. PAYMENT DISTRIBUTION 4 Incentive payouts will be distributed as soon as possible following the closing of the fiscal year. Payouts will be paid in a separate check from the regular payroll check, and is subject to normal withholding deductions. PLAN ADMINISTRATION The Executive Incentive plan is administered by the IHOP Human Resources Department. This Plan Document and its provisions regulate all plan guidelines and participant eligibility. Any special circumstances must be submitted in writing to the Human Resources Department and approved by the President at the time of the exception. 5 INCENTIVE CALCULATION SCENARIOS ------------------------------- 6 EXAMPLE #1: LOW INDIVIDUAL ACHIEVER & LOW COMPANY Assume a Vice President has a Base Salary of $170,000. INDIVIDUAL COMPONENT - -------------------- The Individual Performance was reviewed and found 1 out of 4 goals were achieved. Assuming each goal was weighted equally, the Individual Component is 25%. Assume the EPS growth for the fiscal year was 11%. COMPANY COMPONENT - ----------------- Profit Before Taxes and Extraordinary Items for the year is 95% of the Target Amount. Therefore, the Bonus Achieved is 87.5% for the Company Component (see "Company Payout Table" on page 4 of the Plan). Step # 1 - Target Payout - -------------------------- Base Salary * Target Payout % = Target Payout $170,000 * (35%) = $59,500 Step # 2 - Individual Payout - ---------------------------- Individual * Weighted as 40% = Individual Payout Component of Target Payout 25% * (40% * $59,500) = $5,950 Step # 3 - Company Payout - ------------------------- Company * Weighted as 60% = Company Target Component of Target 87.5% * (60% * $59,500) = $31,237.50 Step # 4 - Incentive Payout - --------------------------- Individual Payout + Company Payout = Incentive Payout $5,950 + $31,237.50 = $37,187.50 7 EXAMPLE #2: HIGH INDIVIDUAL ACHIEVER & HIGH COMPANY Assume a Vice President has a Base Salary of $170,000. INDIVIDUAL COMPONENT - -------------------- The Individual Performance was reviewed and found 4 out of 4 goals were achieved. Assuming each goal was weighted equally, the Individual Component is 100%. Assume the EPS growth for the fiscal year was 17%. COMPANY COMPONENT - ----------------- Profit Before Taxes and Extraordinary Items for the year is 108% of the Target Amount. Therefore, the Bonus Achieved is 140% for the Company Component (see "Company Payout Table" on page 4 of the Plan). Step # 1 - Target Payout - -------------------------- Base Salary * Target Payout % = Target Payout $170,000 * (35%) = $59,500 Step # 2 - Individual Payout - ---------------------------- Individual * Weighted as 40% = Individual Payout Component of Target Payout 100% * (40% * $59,500) = $23,800 Step # 3 - Company Payout - ------------------------- Company * Weighted as 60% = Company Target Component of Target 140% * (60% * $59,500) = $49,980 Step # 4 - Incentive Payout - --------------------------- Individual Payout + Company Payout = Incentive Payout $23,800 + $49,980 = $73,780 8
