IHOP CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. GENERAL: The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2000, 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") 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, 1999, 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, 2000, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2000. 2. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year information to conform to the current year presentation. 3. SEGMENTS: IHOP identifies its operating segments based on the organizational units used by management to monitor performance and make operating decisions. The Franchise Operations segment includes restaurants operated by franchisees and area licensees in the United States, Canada and Japan. The Company Operations segment includes company-operated restaurants in the United States. We measure segment profit as operating income, which is defined as income before field, corporate and administrative expense, interest expense, and income taxes. Information on segments and reconciliation to income before income taxes are as follows: SALES OF CONSOLIDATING FRANCHISE COMPANY FRANCHISES ADJUSTMENTS CONSOLIDATED OPERATIONS OPERATIONS AND EQUIPMENT AND OTHER TOTAL ---------- ---------- ------------- ------------- ------------ (IN THOUSANDS) (UNAUDITED) THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 Revenues from external customers... $ 44,657 $17,772 $ 5,977 $ -- $ 68,406 Intercompany real estate charges (revenues)....................... 1,495 171 -- (1,666) -- Depreciation and amortization...... 1,008 1,057 -- 1,249 3,314 Operating income (loss)............ 20,024 (953) 1,695 4,852 25,618 Field, corporate and administrative................... 8,263 Interest expense................... 5,600 Income before income taxes......... 11,755 Additions to long-lived assets..... 13,055 1,119 483 1,599 16,256 Total assets....................... 391,145 46,748 19,195 71,352 528,440 THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 Revenues from external customers... $ 39,604 $16,007 $ 5,711 $ -- $ 61,322 Intercompany real estate charges (revenues)....................... 1,425 111 -- (1,536) -- Depreciation and amortization...... 959 916 -- 1,141 3,016 Operating income (loss)............ 17,869 (681) 1,966 4,317 23,471 Field, corporate and administrative................... 8,307 Interest expense................... 4,457 Income before income taxes......... 10,707 Additions to long-lived assets..... 6,510 1,280 655 4,685 13,130 Total assets....................... 324,286 42,405 17,938 65,775 450,404 For management reporting purposes, we treat all restaurant lease revenues and expenses as operating lease revenues and expenses, although most of these leases are direct financing leases or capital lease obligations. The accounting adjustments required to bring lease revenues and expenses into conformance with GAAP are included in Consolidating Adjustments and Other. All of IHOP's owned land and restaurant buildings are included in total assets in Consolidating Adjustments and Other. 5

(1) (3) --- --- Net addition.............................................. 8 2 === === - ------------------------ GENERAL The following discussion and analysis provides information we believe is relevant to an assessment and understanding of IHOP'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 IHOP's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999. 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 that 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 IHOP'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; IHOP's overall marketing, operational and financial performance; economic and political conditions; adoption of new, or changes in, accounting policies and practices; and other factors discussed 7

from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward-looking information is provided by us 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. In addition, we disclaim any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements. Our quarterly results are subject to seasonal fluctuation. The mix and number of restaurants franchised affect revenues from sales of franchises and equipment and their associated costs of sales. We franchise four types of restaurants: restaurants newly developed by IHOP, restaurants developed by franchisees, restaurants developed by area licensees and restaurants that have been previously reacquired from franchisees. Franchise rights for restaurants newly developed by IHOP normally sell for a franchise fee of $200,000 to $350,000 and have little if any associated cost of sales. Equipment for newly developed IHOP Restaurants generally sell for approximately $300,000 and have little or no profit margin. Franchise rights for restaurant developed by franchisees normally sell for a franchise fee of $50,000, have minor associated franchise cost of sales and do not include an equipment sale. Area license rights are normally granted in return for a one-time development fee that is recognized ratably as restaurants are developed in the area. Previously reacquired franchises normally sell for a franchise fee of $100,000 to $350,000, include an equipment sale, and may have substantial costs of sales associated with both the franchise and the equipment. The timing of sales of franchises is affected by the timing of new restaurant openings, the condition of reacquired franchise locations and the availability of qualified franchisees. The timing of new restaurant openings is affected by a variety of real estate construction issues including obtaining regulatory approvals and weather conditions. As a consequence of the foregoing factors, the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2000, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2000. SYSTEM-WIDE RETAIL SALES System-wide retail sales include the sales of all IHOP restaurants, as reported to IHOP by its franchisees, area licensees and company-operated restaurants. System-wide retail sales grew $29,189,000 or 10.8% in the first quarter of 2000. Growth in the number of effective restaurants and increases in average sales per effective unit caused the growth in system-wide sales. "Effective restaurants" are the number of restaurants in operation in a given fiscal period adjusted to account for restaurants in operation for only a portion of the period. Effective restaurants grew by 70 or 8.4% in the first quarter of 2000 due to new restaurant development. Newly developed restaurants generally have seating and sales above the system-wide averages. System-wide average sales per effective restaurant (exclusive of area license restaurants in Florida and Japan) grew 2.2% in the first quarter of 2000. Management continues to pursue growth in sales through new restaurant development, advertising and marketing efforts, improvements in customer service and operations, and remodeling of existing restaurants. FRANCHISE OPERATIONS Franchise operations revenues are the revenues received by IHOP from its franchisees and include rent, royalties, sales of proprietary products, advertising fees and interest. Franchise operations revenues were 65.3% of total revenues in the first quarter of 2000. Franchise operations revenues grew $5,053,000 or 12.8% in the first quarter of 2000. An increase in the number of effective franchise restaurants coupled with higher average sales per franchise restaurant caused the growth in franchise operations revenues. Effective franchise restaurants grew by 59 or 9.5% in the first quarter of 2000. Average sales per effective franchise restaurant grew 1.4% in the first quarter of 2000. Franchise operations costs and expenses include rent, advertising, the cost of sales of proprietary products and other direct costs associated with franchise operations. Franchise operations costs and expenses increased $1,620,000 or 10.1% in the first quarter of 2000. Increases in franchise operations costs were generally in line with the growth in franchise operations revenue. 8

Franchise operations margin is equal to franchise operations revenues less franchise operations costs and expenses. Franchise operations margin increased $3,433,000 to $26,945,000 in the first quarter of 2000. Franchise operations margin was 60.3% of franchise operations revenues in the first quarter of 2000 compared with 59.4% in the same period in the prior year. Increased royalty income and increased interest income associated with IHOP's financing of sales of franchises and equipment to its franchisees were primarily responsible for the improvement in franchise operations margin in 2000. SALES OF FRANCHISES AND EQUIPMENT Sales of franchises and equipment were 8.7% of total revenues in the first quarter of 2000. Sales of franchises and equipment increased $266,000 or 4.7% in the first quarter of 2000. An increase in the number of restaurants franchised was the primary cause of the increase in sales of franchises and equipment. IHOP franchised 12 restaurants in the first quarter of 2000 compared with 11 in the same period in the prior year. Cost of sales of franchises and equipment increased $537,000 or 14.3% in the first quarter of 2000. The increase was generally in line with the increase in the number of restaurants franchised, although the mix of restaurants franchised also impacted the cost of sales. Margin on sales of franchises and equipment is equal to sales of franchises and equipment less the cost of sales of franchises and equipment. Margin on sales of franchises and equipment decreased $271,000 to $1,695,000 in the first quarter of 2000. Margin on sales of franchises and equipment was 28.4% compared with 34.4% in the same period in the prior year. The change in margin was primarily due to the sale of more rehabilitated and refranchised restaurants in the first quarter of 2000 compared with the same period in the prior year. COMPANY OPERATIONS Company operations revenues are sales to customers at restaurants operated by IHOP. Company operations revenues were 26.0% of total revenues in the first quarter of 2000. Company operations revenues increased $1,765,000 or 11.0% in the first quarter of 2000. An increase in the number of effective IHOP-operated restaurants was primarily responsible for the change in revenues. Effective IHOP-operated restaurants increased by eight or 11.6% in the first quarter of 2000. Average sales per effective IHOP-operated restaurant decreased by 0.4% in the first quarter of 2000. Company operations costs and expenses include food, labor and benefits, utilities and occupancy costs. Company operations costs increased $1,737,000 or 11.4% in the first quarter of 2000. Increases in company operations costs were generally in line with the growth in company operations revenue. Company operations margin is equal to company operations revenues less company operations costs and expenses. Company operations margin increased $28,000 to $852,000 in the first quarter of 2000. Company operations margin was 4.8% of company operations revenues in the first quarter of 2000 compared with 5.1% in the same period in the prior year. OTHER COSTS AND EXPENSES Field, corporate and administrative costs and expenses decreased $44,000 or 0.5% in the first quarter of 2000 compared with the same period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily caused by lower compensation expenses in the first quarter of 2000 compared with the same period in the prior year. Field, corporate and administrative costs were 2.8% of system-wide sales in the first quarter of 2000 compared with 3.1% in the same period in the prior year. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $298,000 or 9.9% in the first quarter of 2000. The increases were caused primarily by the addition of new restaurants to the IHOP chain from our ongoing restaurant development program. 9

Interest expense increased $1,143,000 or 25.6% in the first quarter of 2000. The increases were due to interest associated with new capital leases which were partially offset by reductions in interest on our senior notes due 2002 as the principal balance is paid down. BALANCE SHEET ACCOUNTS The balance of long-term receivables at March 31, 2000, increased from December 31, 1999 primarily due to IHOP's financing activities associated with the sale of franchises and equipment and the leasing of restaurants to its franchisees. Balances of property and equipment, net and capital lease obligations at March 31, 2000, increased from December 31, 1999 primarily due to new restaurant development and IHOP's capital lease obligations associated with that development. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES We invest in our business primarily through the development of additional restaurants and, to a lesser extent, through the remodeling of older company-operated restaurants. In 2000, IHOP and its franchisees and area licensees forecast developing and opening approximately 75 to 85 restaurants. Included in that number are the development of 65 to 70 new restaurants by us and the development of 10 to 15 restaurants by our franchisees and area licensees. Capital expenditure projections for 2000, which include our portion of the above development program, are approximately $80 to $90 million. In November 2000, the fifth annual installment of $4.6 million in principal becomes due on our senior notes due 2002 and the first annual installment of $3.8 million in principal becomes due on our senior notes due 2008. We expect that funds from operations, sale and leaseback arrangements (estimated to be about $30 to $35 million) and our $20 million revolving line of credit will be sufficient to cover our operating requirements, our budgeted capital expenditures and our principal repayment on our senior notes in 2000. At March 31, 2000 $20 million was available to be borrowed under our unsecured bank revolving credit agreement. 10
