Off-Premise Sales Mix for the First Quarter of 2022

Page 2 of 15
| • | IHOP’s off-premise sales accounted for 24.6% of sales mix for the first quarter of 2022, with average weekly sales of approximately $8,900. |
First Quarter of 2022 Summary
| • | GAAP earnings per diluted share of $1.45 for the first quarter of 2022 compared to earnings per diluted share of $1.51 for the first quarter of 2021. The variance was primarily due to higher income tax expense and an increase in general and administrative expenses, partially offset by an increase in gross profit and a decrease in closure and impairment charges. |
| • | Adjusted earnings per diluted share of $1.54 for the first quarter of 2022 compared to adjusted earnings per diluted share of $1.75 for the first quarter of 2021. The variance was primarily due to higher income tax expense, partially offset by an increase in gross profit. (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and reconciliation of GAAP earnings per diluted share to adjusted earnings per diluted share.) |
| • | General and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2022 were $41.5 million compared to $39.9 million for the first quarter of 2021. The variance was primarily due to costs associated with the return to normal operating procedures, including an increase in travel related to franchisee support functions, the resumption of conferences, and an increase in personnel-related costs. |
| • | Consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2022 was $65.2 million compared to $58.1 million for the first quarter of 2021. (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and reconciliation of GAAP net income to consolidated adjusted EBITDA.) |
| • | The Company had adjusted free cash outflow of $10.1 million for the first quarter of 2022. This compares to adjusted free cash flow of $30.7 million for the first quarter of 2021. The variance was primarily due to the change in working capital as part of cash flows from operating activities. The change in working capital was primarily due to the one-time collection of franchisee deferrals in the first quarter of 2021, payments for higher incentive compensation earned in 2021 and benefits, and the timing of marketing disbursements. (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and reconciliation of the Company’s cash provided by operating activities to adjusted free cash flow.) |
| • | Cash flows from operating activities for the first quarter of 2022 resulted in cash used of $7.8 million. This compares to cash provided from operating activities of $30.6 million for the first quarter of 2021. The decline was primarily due to the change in working capital, which was primarily due to the one-time collection of franchisee deferrals in the first quarter of 2021, payments for higher incentive compensation earned in 2021 and benefits, and the timing of marketing disbursements. |
| • | Development activity by Applebee’s and IHOP franchisees for the first quarter of 2022 resulted in the opening of 11 new restaurants and the closure of 11 restaurants. |
Cash Position as of March 31, 2022
The Company had $358.3 million of total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, of which $294.7 million was unrestricted cash.
The Company’s leverage ratio was 4.05x compared to 3.86x as of December 31, 2021. The change in the Company’s leverage ratio was due to the less total cash compared to the fourth quarter of 2021.
The Company’s debt service coverage ratio was approximately 4.6x compared to approximately 4.7x as of December 31, 2021.
Page 3 of 15
There were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility. As of March 31, 2022, $3.5 million was pledged against the revolving credit facility for outstanding letters of credit, leaving $221.5 million available.
GAAP Effective Tax Rate
The Company’s effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2022 was a 27.2% tax expense compared to a 6.6% tax benefit for first quarter of 2021. The variance was primarily due to the recognition of excess tax benefits on stock-based compensation related to the departure of the Company’s previous chief executive officer in the first quarter of 2021.
Capital Return to Shareholders
The Company repurchased 588,108 shares of its common stock in the first quarter of 2022 for a total of approximately $41.4 million.
On February 22, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared and approved a 15% increase in the quarterly cash dividend to $0.46 per share of common stock. The dividend was paid on April 1, 2022, to the Company’s stockholders of record at the close of business on March 21, 2022.
Effective April 1, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors also approved a new share repurchase program of up to $250 million and terminated the then existing share repurchase program, approved in February 2019.
Financial Performance Guidance for 2022
The Company’s guidance assumes there are no significant disruptions to its business due to COVID-19 during 2022, except for the impact from Omicron in the first quarter. The projections are as of this date. The Company assumes no obligation to update or supplement this information.
| • | The Company reiterates expectations for general and administrative expenses to range between approximately $188 million and $198 million, including non-cash stock-based compensation expense and depreciation of approximately $30 million. This range reflects incremental investments in technology and operational initiatives as well as unit development and is inclusive of general and administrative expenses related to the company restaurants segment. |
| • | The Company reiterates expectations for capital expenditures to range between $33 million and $38 million, reflecting incremental investments in the business to support sustainable growth. |
| • | The Company reiterates expectations for domestic development activity by IHOP franchisees and area licensees to result in net new openings between 50 and 65 restaurants. |
| • | The Company reiterates expectations for domestic development activity by Applebee’s franchisees to result in between 5 and 15 net fewer restaurants. In 2021, Applebee’s concluded a strategic initiative to close underperforming domestic restaurants to improve the performance of the franchised system. |
| • | The Company reiterates expectations for consolidated adjusted EBITDA to range between approximately $235 million and $250 million. This range is inclusive of adjusted EBITDA related to the company restaurants segment. |

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 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 flows provided by operating activities to “adjusted free cash flow” (cash flows (used in) 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.

Reconciliation of the Company’s net income to “adjusted EBITDA.” The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss, adjusted for the effect of closure and impairment charges, interest charges, income tax provision or benefit, depreciation and amortization, non-cash stock-based compensation, gain or loss on 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 months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, 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
(Unaudited)
| (a) | “Global 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. Effective Restaurants do not include units operated as ghost kitchens (small kitchens with no store-front presence, used to fill off-premise orders). |
| (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. System-wide sales do not include retail sales of ghost kitchens. 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, Applebee’s company-operated restaurants, IHOP franchise restaurants and IHOP area license restaurants for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 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 during 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 during both fiscal periods being compared may be different from period to period. |
