IHOP Corp. Reports Third Quarter 2007 Financial Results

October 23, 2007
GLENDALE, CA, Oct 23, 2007 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX News Network) -- IHOP Corp. (NYSE: IHP) today announced financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2007, which included the following performance highlights:
--  IHOP produced its 19th consecutive quarter of same-store sales growth
    with an increase of 2.0% for the third quarter 2007.  This growth was
    driven by higher guest check averages, partially offset by declines in
    guest traffic during the quarter.
--  IHOP franchisees developed and opened 14 new restaurants during the
    third quarter 2007.  System-wide restaurants grew 3.9% year-over-year for a
    total of 1,328 IHOP restaurants.
--  The Company recognized a non-cash, pre-tax expense of $35.6 million
    related to a previously disclosed interest rate swap transaction entered
    into during the third quarter 2007 in connection with the financing of
    IHOP's pending acquisition of Applebee's International, Inc.
--  Excluding interest rate swap expense, net income per diluted share
    decreased 3.2% in the third quarter 2007 to $0.60, while net income per
    diluted share for the first nine months of 2007 increased 14.5% to $2.13
    primarily due to a lower effective tax rate, growth in the profitability in
    IHOP's core franchising business, and a decrease in diluted weighted
    average shares outstanding due to share repurchases during the past 12
    months.
--  Cash Flows from Operating Activities for the first nine months of 2007
    totaled $46.3 million.  Additionally, $12.0 million of cash was provided by
    the collection of the Company's long-term receivables for the first nine
    months of 2007.


Julia A. Stewart, IHOP's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are pleased with our third quarter and year-to-date 2007 pro forma financial performance exclusive of acquisition related non-cash expenses. The IHOP brand continues to perform well as we work to optimize our franchise model, moderate annual G&A expense growth and experience the annualized benefit of past share repurchase activities."

Third Quarter and Year-to-Date 2007 Financial Performance

IHOP's financial performance for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2007 was materially impacted by required accounting methodologies related to a previously disclosed interest rate swap transaction (swap) entered into during the third quarter 2007 in connection with the financing of IHOP's pending acquisition of Applebee's International, Inc. The swap is intended to hedge IHOP's exposure to interest rate fluctuations on its planned securitizations associated with the acquisition of Applebee's. The hedge enabled the Company to secure a fixed interest rate of 5.694%, setting a ceiling for the base interest rate on the securitizations at the outset of IHOP's primarily debt-financed acquisition of Applebee's. Accounting for the swap calls for a quarterly measurement between the fixed interest swap and fair market interest swap rates. Such measurements resulted in a $70.3 million spread liability between the fixed interest rate and the fair market interest rate as of September 30, 2007, $35.6 million of which was required to be reported as a mark-to-market, non-cash expense on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Income. The remaining $34.7 million would be amortized into interest expense over the life of the debt, after the planned issuance of securitized notes.

IHOP reported a decrease in net income to a loss of $11.6 million, and a decrease in diluted net income per share to a loss of $0.69 for the third quarter 2007 compared with the same quarter in fiscal 2006. The decreases resulted from the recognition of a $21.8 million non-cash expense (net of tax) related to the swap entered into during the third quarter 2007. Excluding the swap expense, IHOP reported a decrease of 10.1% in net income to $10.2 million, and a 3.2% decrease in diluted net income per share to $0.60 in the third quarter 2007 as compared with the same quarter in fiscal 2006. The change in net income resulted primarily from a 7.6% increase in IHOP's core franchising business offset by a 46.2% increase in Financing Operations expenses related to the Company's refinancing in March 2007 as well as a 9.9% increase in G&A expenses primarily due to higher costs related to the Company's performance share plans for its executive management team in line with IHOP's stock price performance. Additionally, a 6.6% reduction in diluted weighted average shares outstanding due to share repurchases by the Company made over the past 12 months contributed to IHOP's diluted net income per share performance for the third quarter 2007.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, IHOP reported a decrease of 59.6% in net income to $13.8 million, and a decrease of 57.0% in diluted net income per share to $0.80. The decreases resulted from the recognition of a $21.8 million non-cash expense (net of tax) related to the swap entered into during the third quarter 2007 and a $1.4 million expense (net of tax) related to the early extinguishment of debt in the first quarter 2007. Excluding the swap expense and debt extinguishment costs, IHOP reported an increase of 8.1% in net income to $37.0 million, and a 14.5% increase in diluted net income per share to $2.13 for the first nine months of fiscal 2007 compared to the same period in fiscal 2006. The increases in net income and diluted net income per share resulted primarily from a 7.2% increase in IHOP's core franchising business, a 3.3% increase in G&A expenses, and a 10.1 percentage point decrease in the Company's effective tax rate primarily due to a one-time reduction of certain tax contingency reserves. IHOP's effective tax rate decreased to 28.5% in the first nine months of 2007 as compared to 38.6% in the same period last year. Additionally, a 5.6% reduction in diluted weighted average shares outstanding due to share repurchases by the Company made over the past 12 months contributed to IHOP's year-to-date diluted net income per share performance.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities decreased 14.0% for the first nine months of fiscal 2007 to $46.3 million compared with $53.9 million for the same period in fiscal 2006. This decrease was primarily due to lower tax payables and other accrued liabilities. Principal receipts from notes and equipment contracts receivable, which are an additional source of cash generation for the Company, amounted to $12.0 million for the nine months of fiscal 2007. Capital expenditures decreased to $2.2 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2007 compared with $7.4 million for the same period in fiscal 2006. The decrease in capital expenditures primarily reflects a reduction in restaurant development costs consistent with the Company's plan not to open any IHOPs in its dedicated Company market in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 2007.

For the three months ended September 30, 2007, system-wide same-store sales increased 2.0%, which reflected continued growth given an ongoing difficult economic environment and increased competition at the breakfast daypart. During the third quarter 2007, IHOP experienced an increase in guest check average primarily due to the cumulative effect of menu price increases taken by franchisees in 2006, while guest traffic declined during the quarter.

Update on Acquisition of Applebee's International

On July 16, 2007, IHOP Corp. announced it had reached a definitive agreement to acquire Applebee's International, Inc. for $25.50 per share in cash, representing a total transaction value of approximately $2.3 billion. With the Applebee's shareholder vote regarding the acquisition scheduled for Tuesday, October 30, 2007, IHOP is moving ahead as planned with the necessary steps to complete a whole-business securitization of Applebee's, as well as additional debt expected to be raised from the existing IHOP securitization structure, which will be the primary sources of funding for the acquisition.

The Company expects to close the transaction through a securitization in a timely manner. However, the Company recognizes the recent weakening of the credit markets and, specifically, conditions in the monoline insured asset-backed securities market which have become more challenging due to a reduction in the overall buyer universe and a widening of risk spreads. While these conditions could potentially increase the difficulty of successfully placing the securitized notes, IHOP believes that it can successfully fund the acquisition through the planned securitizations in the fourth quarter 2007. In the event it becomes necessary, the Company has a commitment for bridge financing from Lehman Brothers to finance the transaction until the securitization can be completed.

IHOP also reports that the integration plan for the combined companies designed to support the franchising of the majority of Applebee's company-operated markets is largely complete. The Company is aggressively working to arrange for the sale-leaseback of nearly all Applebee's owned real estate, or approximately 200 locations. Additionally, executives for both companies have developed a plan for the franchising of Applebee's company-operated markets and have already begun a dialogue with prospective franchisees for these markets.

IHOP's acquisition of Applebee's is planned to close by November 29, 2007.

2007 Performance Guidance

While the Company remains comfortable with its existing performance guidance for 2007 as it relates to its IHOP business, IHOP previously suspended its fiscal 2007 earnings guidance as current guidance does not take into account the effect of the Applebee's acquisition on full year results. The acquisition notwithstanding, IHOP reiterated its key performance assumptions for fiscal 2007. The Company expects same-store sales growth between 2% and 4%, the addition of 61 to 66 new franchise

restaurants to the IHOP system, moderate G&A spending in the range of $65 million to $67 million, and the effect of share repurchases executed in the first half of fiscal 2007 to contribute to its per share earnings performance for fiscal 2007.

Cash from Operations is expected to range between $60 million and $65 million in 2007, and principal receipts from note and equipment contracts receivable are expected to be within the range of $16 million to $18 million. Capital expenditures are expected to range between $6 million and $8 million in 2007. This primarily reflects investment in the Company's Information Technology infrastructure and construction related to the opening of additional restaurants in IHOP's Company market in Cincinnati, Ohio, in fiscal 2008.

References to Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This news release includes references to the non-GAAP financial measure "net income excluding early debt extinguishment costs and mark-to-market swap expense," which is stated in the text of the news release as "one-time costs related to the write-off of deferred financing costs and a pre-payment penalty on the Company's pre-existing debt" and "interest rate swap expense." The Company defines "net income excluding early debt extinguishment costs and mark-to-market swap expense" for a given period as net income for such period, excluding the effect of any early debt extinguishment costs and interest rate swap expense incurred in such period. Management believes net income excluding early debt extinguishment costs and mark-to-market swap expense and basic and diluted net income per share excluding early debt extinguishment costs and mark-to-market swap expense is useful because it provides a more accurate period to period comparison. Net income excluding early debt extinguishment costs and mark-to-market swap expense for any given period may be affected by a variety of factors, including but not limited to, changes in assets and liabilities and the timing of purchases and payments. Net income excluding early debt extinguishment costs and mark-to-market swap expense is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

(a) "Effective restaurants" are the number of restaurants 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 IHOP system, which includes IHOP restaurants owned by the Company
    as well as those owned by franchisees and area licensees.
(b) "System-wide sales" are retail sales at IHOP restaurants operated by
    franchisees, area licensees and the Company, as reported to the
    Company. Franchise restaurant sales were $525.2 million and $1,535.0
    million for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30,
    2007, respectively, and sales at area license restaurants were $51.6
    million and $159.9 million for the third quarter and nine months ended
    September 30, 2007, respectively. Sales at restaurants that are owned
    by franchisees and area licensees are not attributable to the Company.
(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) "Same-store sales percentage change" reflects the percentage change
    in sales, in any given fiscal period compared to the prior fiscal
    period, for 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 store closures, the
    restaurants open throughout both fiscal periods being compared will be
    different from period to period. Same-store sales percentage change
    does not include data on restaurants located in Florida.
