Dine Brands Global, Inc. Reports Strong Second Quarter 2019 Results

Earnings Per Diluted Share (GAAP) Increased 71%

Adjusted Earnings Per Diluted Share (Non-GAAP) Increased 66%

Net Income Increased 68%

GLENDALE, Calif., July 31, 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 second quarter of 2019.

“Our strategy continues to drive significant improvements across key metrics. We have made important decisions over the last two years that have improved our fundamentals and enhanced our ability to deliver sustainable growth. We successfully completed a $1.3 billion refinancing of our securitized debt, replacing our 2014 fixed rate senior secured notes. We are also pleased to announce that Applebee’s franchisees agreed to extend the increase in the advertising contribution rate to 4.25% through the end of next year,” said Steve Joyce, Chief Executive Officer of Dine Brands Global, Inc.

Mr. Joyce continued, “Our performance reflects the strength and stability of our highly franchised business model. While comparable same-restaurant sales at Applebee’s were lower than expected, these results are not indicative of a shift in Applebee’s fundamentals or brand relevance, both of which remain intact. As we enter the back half of the year, we are executing against our plan with a sharpened focus on operating fundamentals, which will help us continue to grow and create shareholder value.”

Key Highlights

 

   

IHOP’s reported system-wide sales for the second quarter of 2019 increased 3.2% year-over-year to $863.4 million.

Domestic System-Wide Comparable Same-Restaurant Sales Performance

Second Quarter of 2019

 

   

Applebee’s comparable same-restaurant sales decreased 0.5% for the second quarter of 2019.

 

   

IHOP’s comparable same-restaurant sales increased 2.0% for the second quarter of 2019, achieving the sixth consecutive quarter of sales growth.

First Six Months of 2019

 

   

Applebee’s comparable same-restaurant sales increased 0.6% for the six months of 2019.

 

   

IHOP’s comparable same-restaurant sales increased 1.7% for the first six months of 2019.

Second Quarter of 2019 Financial Highlights

 

   

GAAP net income available to common stockholders was $20.7 million, or earnings per diluted share of $1.18, for the second quarter of 2019. This compared to net income available to common stockholders of $12.3 million, or earnings per diluted share of $0.69, for the second quarter of 2018. The increase in net income was primarily due to higher gross profit as the result of $16.5 million in franchisor contributions to the Applebee’s national advertising fund made in the second quarter of 2018 that did not recur in 2019. Additionally, our effective tax rate of 26.4% for the second quarter of 2019 was lower than the effective tax rate of 48.3% for the comparable period of 2018 due to tax adjustments taken in 2018 that were not taken in 2019. These items were partially offset by a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $8.3 million related to the refinancing of our long-term debt, which was completed on June 5, 2019. This loss represented the remaining unamortized issuance costs associated with our previous outstanding long-term debt issued in 2014.

 

   

Adjusted net income available to common stockholders was $30.0 million, or adjusted earnings per diluted share of $1.71, for the second quarter of 2019. This compares to adjusted net income available to common stockholders of $18.3 million, or adjusted earnings per diluted share of $1.03, for the second quarter of 2018. (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.)

 

   

General and administrative expenses were $39.4 million for the second quarter of 2019 compared to $38.8 million for the second quarter of 2018. The increase was primarily due to higher personnel-related costs.

First Six Months of 2019 Financial Highlights

 

   

GAAP net income available to common stockholders was $51.2 million, or earnings per diluted share of $2.91, for the first six months of 2019. This compared to net income available to common stockholders of $28.8 million, or earnings per diluted share of $1.61, for the first six months of 2018. The increase in net income was primarily due to higher gross profit as the result of $30.0 million in franchisor contributions to the Applebee’s national advertising fund made in the first six months of 2018 that did not recur in 2019. This was partially offset by approximately $8.3 million in debt extinguishment costs related to the refinancing of our long-term debt, which was completed on June 5, 2019.

 

   

Adjusted net income available to common stockholders was $63.7 million, or adjusted earnings per diluted share of $3.61, for the first six months of 2019. This compares to adjusted net income available to common stockholders of $38.0 million, or adjusted earnings per diluted share of $2.13, for the first six months of 2018. (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.)


Page 4 of 16

 

   

General and administrative expenses were $82.2 million for the first six months of 2019 compared to $80.7 million for the same period of 2018. The increase was primarily due to higher personnel-related costs.

GAAP Effective Tax Rate

Our effective tax rate of 26.4% for the second quarter of 2019 was lower than the effective tax rate of 48.3% for the comparable period of 2018. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we increased our tax provision by $5.7 million related to adjustments resulting from IRS audits for tax years 2011 through 2013. These adjustments increased our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2018. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, the IRS audits for tax years 2011 through 2013 concluded and allowed us to accelerate the collection of certain tax benefits recognized in prior years. As a result, the Company received a refund of $13.3 million, inclusive of interest income of $0.9 million.

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


Page 7 of 16

 

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 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

(Unaudited)

Reconciliation of the Company’s net income to “adjusted EBITDA.” The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as net income, adjusted for the effect of any interest charges, any income tax provision or benefit, any depreciation and amortization, any non-cash stock-based compensation, any closure and impairment charges or credits, any gain or loss related to the extinguishment of debt and 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 evaluate the performance of the company and to make certain business decisions.

Restaurant Data

(Unaudited)

The following table sets forth, for the three and six months ended June 30, 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 and six months ended June 30, 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.
