Earnings Per Diluted Share (GAAP) Increased 88%

Adjusted Earnings Per Diluted Share (Non-GAAP) Increased 71.2%

Net Income Increased 85.3%; Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP) Increased 40.4%

GLENDALE, Calif., May 1, 2019 – Dine Brands Global, Inc. (NYSE: DIN), the parent company of Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill + Bar® and IHOP® restaurants, today announced financial results for the first quarter of 2019.

“Dine Brands delivered another impressive quarter. Our performance and momentum reflect the continued improvement in our core business. We delivered double-digit growth in several key metrics. The implementation of multi-pronged strategies at Applebee’s and IHOP have produced positive results. Both brands reported positive comparable sales growth for the first quarter, lapping over positive sales results for the first quarter of 2018,” said Steve Joyce, Chief Executive Officer of Dine Brands Global, Inc.

Mr. Joyce continued, “We are taking a long-term approach to managing the business and focusing on platforms that will deliver sustainable positive results. This includes expanding our off-premise business at both brands and investing in guest-facing technology, where we have made foundational changes to further enhance the guest experience. With the great work being done across the organization, I am enthusiastic about the road ahead.”

Key Highlights

 

   

Total revenues, excluding Company restaurant sales, increased 7.1% to $201.4 million for the first quarter of 2019 compared to $188.2 million for the same period last year.

 

   

IHOP business segment revenues, inclusive of Rental and Financing revenues, accounted for approximately 66% of total revenues, excluding advertising revenues and Company restaurant sales, during the first quarter of 2019.

 

   

IHOP’s reported system-wide sales for the first quarter of 2019 increased 2.4% to $873.1 million compared to $852.9 million for the first quarter of 2018.

 

   

Gross profit for the first quarter of 2019 increased 22.8% to $102.6 million compared to $83.5 million for the first quarter of 2018. The increase in gross profit was mainly due to a $13.5 million franchisor contribution to the Applebee’s national advertising fund in the first quarter 2018 that did not recur in the first quarter of 2019. IHOP restaurant development and increased IHOP and Applebee’s royalties contributed to the increase in gross profit.

 

   

The Company restaurant segment contributed approximately $4.2 million of gross profit during their first full quarter of ownership.

 

   

GAAP earnings per diluted share increased 88.0% to $1.73 for the first quarter of 2019 compared to $0.92 for the first quarter of 2018.

 

   

Adjusted earnings per diluted share increased 71.2% to $1.90 for the first quarter of 2019 compared to $1.11 for the first quarter of 2018. (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.)

 

   

GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2019 increased 85.3% to $31.6 million compared to $17.1 million for the first quarter of 2018.

 

   

Consolidated adjusted EBITDA the first quarter of 2019 increased 40.4% to $74.6 million compared to $53.2 million for the first quarter of 2018. (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and reconciliation of GAAP net income to consolidated adjusted EBITDA.)

 

   

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2019, the Company repurchased 151,316 shares of its common stock for a total cost of approximately $12.0 million and paid quarterly cash dividends totaling approximately $11.2 million.

 

   

Cash flows from operating activities were approximately $28.9 million for the first quarter of 2019 compared to approximately $16.5 million for the first quarter of 2018. Adjusted free cash flow was approximately $27.7 million for the first quarter of 2019. This compares to approximately $15.3 million for the first quarter of 2018. (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and reconciliation of the Company’s cash provided by operating activities to adjusted free cash flow.)

 

   

Over 1,100 IHOP restaurants, or approximately 65% of the domestic system, have the new Rise ‘N Shine remodel image (including new restaurant openings).

 

   

Growth in off-premise sales at both brands during the first quarter of 2019 was primarily driven by online channels.

Domestic System Same-Restaurant Sales Performance

 

   

Applebee’s comparable same-restaurant sales increased 1.8% for the first quarter of 2019, achieving the sixth consecutive quarter of sales growth.

 

   

IHOP’s comparable same-restaurant sales increased 1.2% for the first quarter of 2019, achieving the fifth consecutive quarter of sales growth.

GAAP Effective Tax Rate

Our effective tax rate of 23.1% for the first quarter of 2019 was lower than the effective tax rate of 24.8% for the comparable period of 2018 due to the recognition of excess tax benefits on stock-based compensation during the first quarter of 2019.

New Lease Accounting Standards ASC 842

Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted the lease accounting guidance codified in ASC 842. Upon adoption, we recognized operating lease obligations of approximately $453.0 million, discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate and an adjustment to retained earnings upon adoption of $5.0 million, net of tax of $1.7 million. We reclassified $43.3 million of accrued rent payments and $7.4 million of previously established lease-related reserves. In offsetting these amounts, we recognized operating lease right-of-use assets of approximately $395.6 million.

Adoption of ASC 842 had no significant impact on our cash flows from operations or its results of operations.

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements contained in this press release may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. You can identify these forward-looking statements by words such as “may,” “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “goal” and other similar expressions. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause actual results to be materially different from those expressed or implied in such statements. These factors include, but are not limited to: general economic conditions; our level of indebtedness; compliance with the terms of our securitized debt; our ability to refinance our current indebtedness or obtain additional financing; our dependence on information technology; potential cyber incidents; the implementation of restaurant development plans; our dependence on our franchisees; the concentration of our Applebee’s franchised restaurants in a limited number of franchisees; the financial health our franchisees; our franchisees’ and other licensees’ compliance with our quality standards and trademark usage; general risks associated with the restaurant industry; potential harm to our brands’ reputation; possible future impairment charges; the effects of tax reform; trading volatility and fluctuations in the price of our stock; our ability to achieve the financial guidance we provide to investors; successful implementation of our business strategy; the availability of suitable locations for new restaurants; shortages or interruptions in the supply or delivery of products from third parties or availability of utilities; the management and forecasting of appropriate inventory levels; development and implementation of innovative marketing and use of social media; changing health or dietary preference of consumers; risks associated with doing business in international markets; the results of litigation and other legal proceedings; third-party claims with respect to intellectual property assets; our ability to attract and retain management and other key employees; compliance with federal, state and local governmental regulations; risks associated with our self-insurance; natural disasters or other series incidents; our success with development initiatives outside of our core business; the adequacy of our internal controls over financial reporting and future changes in accounting standards; and other factors discussed from time to time in the Company’s Annual and Quarterly Reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q and in the Company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes references to the Company’s non-GAAP financial measure “adjusted net income available to common stockholders”, “adjusted earnings per diluted share (Adjusted EPS)”, “Adjusted EBITDA” and “Adjusted free cash flow.” Adjusted EPS is computed for a given period by deducting from net income or loss available to common stockholders for such period the effect of any closure and impairment charges, any gain or loss related to debt extinguishment, any intangible asset amortization, any non-cash interest expense, any gain or loss related to the disposition of assets, and other items deemed not reflective of current operations. This is presented on an aggregate basis and a per share (diluted) basis. Adjusted EBITDA is computed for a given period by deducting from net income or loss for such period the effect of any closure and impairment charges, any interest charges, any income tax provision or benefit, any non-cash stock-based compensation, any depreciation and amortization, any gain or loss related to the disposition of assets and other items deemed not reflective of current operations. “Adjusted free cash flow” for a given period is defined as cash provided by operating activities, plus receipts from notes and equipment contracts receivable, less capital expenditures. Management may use certain of these non-GAAP financial measures along with the corresponding U.S. GAAP measures to evaluate the performance of the business and to make certain business decisions. Management uses adjusted free cash flow in its periodic assessments of, among other things, the amount of cash dividends per share of common stock and repurchases of common stock and we believe it is important for investors to have the same measure used by management for that purpose. Adjusted


Page 5 of 14

 

free cash flow does not represent residual cash flow available for discretionary purposes. Additionally, adjusted EPS is one of the metrics used in determining payouts under the Company’s annual cash incentive plan. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional meaningful information that should be considered when assessing the business and the Company’s performance compared to prior periods and the marketplace. Adjusted EPS and adjusted free cash flow are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(Unaudited)

Reconciliation of the Company’s cash provided by operating activities to “adjusted free cash flow” (cash provided by operating activities, plus receipts from notes and equipment contracts receivable, less additions to property and equipment). Management uses this liquidity measure in its periodic assessments of, among other things, the amount of cash dividends per share of common stock and repurchases of common stock. We believe it is important for investors to have the same measure used by management for that purpose. Adjusted free cash flow does not represent residual cash flow available for discretionary purposes.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Reconciliation of the Company’s net income to “adjusted EBITDA.” The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as net income, adjusted for the effect of any closure and impairment charges, any interest charges, any income tax provision or benefit, any non-cash stock-based compensation, any depreciation and amortization, any gain or loss related to the disposition of assets, other non-income based taxes and other items deemed not reflective of current operations. Management may use certain non-GAAP measures along with the corresponding U. S. GAAP measures to evaluation the performance of the company and to make certain business decisions.

Restaurant Data

(Unaudited)

The following table sets forth, for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the number of “Effective Restaurants” in the Applebee’s and IHOP systems and information regarding the percentage change in sales at those restaurants compared to the same periods in the prior year and, as such, the percentage change in sales at Effective Restaurants is based on non-GAAP sales data. Sales at restaurants that are owned by franchisees and area licensees are not attributable to the Company. However, we believe that presentation of this information is useful in analyzing our revenues because franchisees and area licensees pay us royalties and advertising fees that are generally based on a percentage of their sales, and, where applicable, rental payments under leases that partially may be based on a percentage of their sales. Management also uses this information to make decisions about future plans for the development of additional restaurants as well as evaluation of current operations.

Restaurant Data

 

(a)

“Effective Restaurants” are the weighted average number of restaurants open in a given fiscal period, adjusted to account for restaurants open for only a portion of the period. Information is presented for all Effective Restaurants in the Applebee’s and IHOP systems, which includes restaurants owned by franchisees and area licensees as well as those owned by the Company.

 

(b)

“System-wide” sales are retail sales at domestic Applebee’s restaurants operated by franchisees and IHOP restaurants operated by franchisees and area licensees, as reported to the Company, in addition to retail sales at company-operated restaurants. Sales at restaurants that are owned by franchisees and area licensees are not attributable to the Company. An increase or decrease in franchisees’ reported sales will result in a corresponding increase or decrease in our royalty revenue. Unaudited reported sales for Applebee’s domestic franchise restaurants, IHOP franchise restaurants and IHOP area license restaurants for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 and sales by company-operated restaurants were as follows:

(c)

“Sales percentage change” reflects, for each category of restaurants, the percentage change in sales in any given fiscal period compared to the prior fiscal period for all restaurants in that category.

 

(d)

“Domestic same-restaurant sales percentage change” reflects the percentage change in sales, in any given fiscal period, compared to the same weeks in the prior year for domestic restaurants that have been operated throughout both fiscal periods that are being compared and have been open for at least 18 months. Because of new unit openings and restaurant closures, the domestic restaurants open throughout both fiscal periods being compared may be different from period to period.
