Dine Brands Global, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2023 Results

IHOP® Posts Ninth Consecutive Positive Comparable Restaurants Sales Quarter

Applebee’s® Posts -1% Comparable Restaurants Sales Quarter

PASADENA, Calif., August 3, 2023 – Dine Brands Global, Inc. (NYSE: DIN), the parent company of Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill & Bar®, IHOP® and Fuzzy’s Taco Shop® restaurants, today announced financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2023.

“Dine Brands is well-positioned to invest in our brands, drive growth and maximize returns. Despite some market volatility, our business model’s resiliency is evident through consistent financial results, enabling us to pursue long-term growth opportunities, debt reduction and returning capital to shareholders,” said John Peyton, chief executive officer, Dine Brands Global. “Looking ahead, we will continue to maintain our disciplined approach to creating value for stakeholders and demand from our guests.”

Vance Chang, chief financial officer, added, “Our focus, in collaboration with our franchisees, is to drive consistent sales and restaurant profitability over time. In addition to the near-term easing of commodities and labor pressure, the teams are making progress on restaurant-level initiatives to improve efficiency, reduce waste, and strengthen our concepts for both existing and future franchisees.”

Domestic Restaurant Sales for the Second Quarter of 2023

 

   

Applebee’s year-over-year comparable same-restaurant sales declined 1.0% for the second quarter of 2023. Off-premise sales accounted for 22.6% of sales mix, representing per restaurant average weekly sales of approximately $12,300.


   

IHOP’s year-over-year domestic comparable same-restaurant sales increased 2.1% for the second quarter of 2023. Off-premise sales accounted for 20.7% of sales mix, representing per restaurant average weekly sales of approximately $8,000.

Second Quarter of 2023 Summary

 

   

Total revenues for the first six months of 2023 were $422.2 million compared to $468.2 million for the first six months of 2022. The decline was primarily due to the refranchising of the 69 company-operated Applebee’s units in October 2022, offset by the positive comparable same-restaurants sales growth at IHOP and Applebee’s. Total revenues excluding the refranchised Applebee’s restaurants for the first six months of 2023 were $417.5 million compared to $389.3 million for the first six months of 2022.

 

   

General and Administrative (“G&A”) expenses for the second quarter of 2023 were $47.8 million compared to $44.1 million for the second quarter of 2022. The variance was primarily due to the stopping of the IHOP Flip’d initiative and an increase in professional services, partially offset by lower compensation-related expenses.

 

   

Net income for the second quarter of 2023 was $18.2 million compared to $24.0 million for the second quarter of 2022. The decrease was primarily due to higher G&A and interest expenses, a loss on disposal of assets, and a loss on extinguishment of debt, partially offset by lower income taxes and higher gross margin.

 

   

GAAP net income available to common stockholders was $17.8 million, or earnings per diluted share of $1.16, for the second quarter of 2023 compared to net income available to common stockholders of $23.3 million, or earnings per diluted share of $1.45 for the second quarter of 2022. The decrease was primarily due to higher G&A and interest expenses, a loss on disposal of assets and a loss on debt extinguishment, offset by lower income taxes, higher gross margin and lower share count.

 

   

Adjusted net income available to common stockholders was $27.8 million, or adjusted earnings per diluted share of $1.82, for the second quarter of 2023 compared to adjusted net income available to common stockholders of $26.5 million, or adjusted earnings per diluted share of $1.65, for the second quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily due to higher gross margin and lower share count, offset by higher interest expense. (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and reconciliation of GAAP net income available to common stockholders to adjusted net income available to common stockholders.)

 

   

Consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2023 was $67.3 million compared to $66.1 million for the second quarter of 2022. (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and reconciliation of GAAP net income to consolidated adjusted EBITDA.)

 

   

Development activity by Applebee’s and IHOP franchisees for the second quarter of 2023 resulted in 13 new restaurant openings and the closure of 25 restaurants.

First Six Months of 2023 Summary

 

   

Total revenues for the first six months of 2023 were $422.2 million compared to $468.2 million for the first six months of 2022. The decline was primarily due to the refranchising of the 69 company-operated Applebee’s units in October 2022 and the negative comparable same-restaurant sales growth at Applebee’s, offset by the positive comparable same-restaurants sales growth at IHOP. Total revenues excluding the refranchised Applebee’s restaurants for the first six months of 2023 were $417.5 million compared to $389.3 million for the first six months of 2022.

 

   

G&A expenses for the first six months of 2023 were $98.9 million compared to $85.6 million for the first six months of 2022. The variance was primarily due to an increase in professional services, the stopping of the IHOP Flip’d initiative, an increase in software maintenance and an increase in occupancy costs.

 

   

Net income for the first six months of 2023 was $45.7 million compared to $48.8 million for the first six months of 2022. The decrease was primarily due to higher G&A expenses, a loss on disposal of assets and higher interest expense, partially offset by higher gross margin and lower income taxes.

 

   

GAAP net income available to common stockholders was $44.5 million, or earnings per diluted share of $2.91, for the first six months of 2023 compared to net income available to common stockholders of $47.5 million, or earnings per diluted share of $2.90 for the first six months of 2022. The increase was primarily due to higher gross margin, lower share count and lower income taxes, offset by higher G&A expenses, a loss on disposal of assets and higher net interest expense.

 

   

Adjusted net income available to common stockholders was $58.0 million, or adjusted earnings per diluted share of $3.79, for the first six months of 2023 compared to adjusted net income available to common stockholders of $52.4 million, or adjusted earnings per diluted share of $3.19, for the first six months of 2022. The increase was primarily due to higher gross margin and lower share count, offset by higher G&A expenses. (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and reconciliation of GAAP net income available to common stockholders to adjusted net income available to common stockholders.)

 

   

Consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the first six months of 2023 was $133.7 million compared to $131.3 million for the first six months of 2022. (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and reconciliation of GAAP net income to consolidated adjusted EBITDA.)

 

   

Cash flows from operating activities for the first six months of 2023 were $42.7 million. This compares to cash provided from operating activities of $29.9 million for the first six months of 2022. The increase was primarily due to a favorable change in working capital.

 

   

The Company had adjusted free cash flow of $24.1 million for the first six months of 2023. This compares to adjusted free cash flow of approximately $23.1 million for the first six months of 2022. (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and reconciliation of the Company’s cash provided by operating activities to adjusted free cash flow.)

 

Page 3 of 16


   

Development activity by Applebee’s and IHOP franchisees for the first six months of 2023 resulted in 34 new restaurant openings and the closure of 42 restaurants.

Key Balance Sheet Metrics (as of June 30, 2023)

 

   

Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of approximately $156.8 million, of which approximately $98.0 million was unrestricted cash.

 

   

Leverage ratio of approximately 4.5x (remained the same as of March 31, 2023).

 

   

Available borrowing capacity under the Variable Funding Senior Secured Notes is over $220 million.

GAAP Effective Tax Rate

The Company’s effective tax rate was 24.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to 26.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was different than the rate of the prior comparable period primarily due to the recognition of higher excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation and lower non-deductible executive compensation.

Capital Returns to Debt and Equity Holders

As previously disclosed, on April 17, 2023, the Company completed the refinancing of its Senior Secured Notes and issued the Series 2023-1 7.824% Fixed Rate Senior Secured Notes, Class A-2 in an initial aggregate principal amount of $500 million. This represented a reduction of $200 million from the Series 2019-1 Class A-2-I Notes it replaced.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2023, the Company repurchased approximately $9 million of its common stock.

Financial Performance Guidance for 2023

The Company’s fiscal 2023 guidance items:

 

   

Reduced: Our new domestic development activity target for Applebee’s franchisees is between 25 and 35 net fewer restaurants (versus 10 to 20 net fewer restaurants previously).

 

   

Reiterated: Domestic development activity by IHOP franchisees and area licensees is expected to be between 45 and 60 net new openings.

 

   

Reiterated : Consolidated adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of between approximately $243 million and $255 million.

 

   

Reiterated: G&A expenses are expected to range between approximately $200 million and $210 million, including non-cash stock-based compensation expense and depreciation of approximately $30 million.

Reiterated: Gross capital expenditures are expected to range between $33 million and $38 million.

Dine Brands does not provide forward-looking guidance for GAAP net income because it is unable to predict certain items contained in the GAAP measure without unreasonable efforts. These items may include closure and impairment charges, loss on extinguishment of debt, gain or loss on disposition of assets, other non-income based taxes and other items deemed not reflective of current operations.

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, any merger and acquisition costs 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, any merger and acquisition costs 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.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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 interest charges, income tax provision or benefit, depreciation and amortization, non-cash stock-based compensation, closure and impairment charges, loss on extinguishment of debt, 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 and six months ended June 30, 2023, 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.

(a)

“Effective Restaurants” are the weighted average number of restaurants open in each 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 consist of 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 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 Applebee’s 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 in franchisees’ reported sales will result in a corresponding increase in our royalty revenue, while a decrease in franchisees’ reported sales will result in a corresponding 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 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 fiscal period, 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 restaurant openings and restaurant closures, the domestic restaurants open throughout both fiscal periods being compared may be different from period to period.
