DineEquity, Inc. Announces Solid Second Quarter 2009 Financial Results
-- Excluding gains and impairment charges, diluted net income per share
available to common shareholders increased by $0.72 to $0.74 from $0.02
compared to the same quarter last year, primarily due to lower interest
expense and reduced General & Administrative (G&A) expenses. Diluted net
income per share available to common shareholders increased by $2.51 to
$1.09 from a loss of $1.42 compared to the same quarter last year.
-- IHOP's domestic system-wide same-store sales decreased 0.6% and
Applebee's domestic system-wide same-store sales decreased 4.3% compared to
the same quarter last year.
-- Consolidated G&A expenses decreased 31.0% compared to the same quarter
last year, primarily due to reduced overhead expense as a result of the
sale of company-operated Applebee's restaurants, as well as acquisition
integration and cost savings activities.
-- Cash flows from operating activities increased 8.2% to $61.5 million
for the first six months of the year primarily due to reductions in
interest and G&A expenses, partially offset by the change in working
capital.
-- Consolidated capital expenditures were $5.9 million in the first six
months of the year primarily reflecting the modest capital needs of the
Company's predominantly franchised restaurant systems.
-- Free cash flow was $54.3 million in the first six months of the year
(see "References to Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below).
-- Securitized debt was reduced by $42.0 million and $129.8 million for
the quarter and year-to-date, respectively, as a result of dedicating a
portion of excess cash flow towards opportunistic debt retirement, proceeds
generated from the sale of company-operated Applebee's restaurants, and
scheduled payments on the Company's subordinated notes.
Julia A. Stewart, DineEquity's chairman and chief executive officer, said, "The difficult macroeconomic environment continued to put pressure on same-store sales at both of our restaurant brands in the quarter, but by remaining focused on things within our control, we nevertheless turned in a solid performance in the second quarter 2009 by controlling expenses, sustaining operating margin improvements and opportunistically retiring debt. Our team is doing an outstanding job during one of the most challenging economic and competitive periods we have ever seen. We will continue to employ value-oriented promotions, menu updates and enhanced marketing strategies in the months ahead and I am confident that we have the right people and plans in place to navigate through this economic cycle and deliver on our long-term plans."
Same-Store Sales Performance
IHOP's domestic system-wide same-store sales decreased 0.6% for the second quarter 2009 compared to the same quarter last year, reflecting higher average guest check and a decline in guest traffic. IHOP's marketing efforts during the quarter included limited-time offers such as Loaded Country Hash Browns and Strawberry Festival, both of which were supported by national advertising campaigns, as well as expanded marketing activities around the dinner daypart. The Company believes that IHOP's solid value positioning with consumers and strong brand equity will continue to benefit the business.
Applebee's system-wide domestic same-store sales decreased 4.3% for the second quarter 2009 compared to the same quarter last year. Same-store sales for Applebee's domestic franchise restaurants and company-operated restaurants decreased 4.2% and 4.8%, respectively, for the second quarter 2009 compared to the same quarter last year. The performance of company-operated Applebee's reflected higher average guest check primarily due to cumulative pricing increases of 3.0% and declines in guest traffic. Applebee's marketing efforts during the quarter included its Two for $20 and Pick 'n Pair value offerings, as well as continued advertising support of Applebee's carry-out program, Carside To Go. The Company believes that Applebee's can differentiate the brand and compete effectively through enhanced marketing initiatives, the use of compelling value promotions, the introduction of new menu items, and significantly improved operational execution at the restaurant level.
Company Operations Improvements
Sales at company-operated Applebee's restaurants decreased 25.4% to $218.4 million compared to the same quarter last year, primarily due to a 21.4% decrease in the number of effective restaurants as a result of the sale of 108 company-operated restaurants. Restaurant operating margin improved 130 basis points to 14.0% in the second quarter 2009 compared to a 12.7% operating margin in the same quarter last year. Applebee's improved operating margin performance for the quarter resulted from the impact of menu pricing increases in the previous quarters, hourly labor management improvements, more efficient management staffing, lower incentive costs and favorable insurance costs.
Company Restaurant Franchising Update
DineEquity continues to market the majority of its remaining company-operated Applebee's restaurants and is committed to its strategic objective of transitioning Applebee's into a highly franchised restaurant system over time. Significantly improved operating margin performance in the first half of 2009 resulted in increased restaurant valuations. While interest from both new and existing franchisees remains strong, progress in bringing transactions to fruition has been slowed due to the lack of available financing and as the Company reviewed satisfactory valuations with potential buyers.
Although announcing asset purchase agreements for a meaningful number of restaurants remains possible in 2009, the Company believes that it is unlikely that a transaction will close before year-end due to the length of time required to consummate a transaction of any material size. However, as previously disclosed, DineEquity believes it will continue to generate sufficient cash from operations to meet obligations under its debt covenants, such that the Company will not be compelled to franchise Applebee's company-operated restaurants at prices lower than deemed appropriate. The Company possesses the ability to continue to meet its debt covenants for an extended period without the further sale of additional Applebee's company-operated restaurants and assuming that there is not a material adverse deterioration in the Company's current operating fundamentals.
Debt Management
Securitized debt was reduced by $42.0 million and $129.8 million for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively, as a result of dedicating a portion of excess cash flow towards opportunistic debt retirement, proceeds generated from the sale of company-operated Applebee's restaurants, and scheduled payments on the Company's subordinated notes.
As of the end of the second quarter of 2009, DineEquity remained comfortably in compliance with the debt covenants defined by the Company's securitized debt agreements. The Company's consolidated leverage ratio was 5.95x compared to a required maximum threshold of 7.50x. Debt service coverage ratios were 3.41x for IHOP's securitization on a three-month unadjusted basis and 2.89x for the Applebee's securitization on a three-month adjusted basis, both compared to a minimum required threshold of 1.85x. DineEquity has provided supplemental information to this news release regarding its compliance with its debt covenants, which may be accessed by visiting the Calls & Presentations section of DineEquity's Investor Relations Web site at http://investors.dineequity.com and referring to supporting materials for the Company's second quarter 2009 webcast.
2009 Financial Guidance
DineEquity provided an update on key financial performance guidance metrics for 2009, which include:
-- Revised consolidated cash flows from operating activities expectations
to range between $115 and $125 million, compared to its previous
expectations of $100 and $110 million. This improved outlook is primarily
due to additional cash flow expected from operating a greater number of
Applebee's company restaurants in line with the revised outlook for the
sale of company-operated Applebee's restaurants in 2009. The Company will
receive approximately $15 million in additional cash from the structural
run-off of the IHOP business unit's long-term notes receivable.
-- Reiterated consolidated capital expenditures expectations to range
between $13 and $16 million.
-- Reiterated consolidated G&A expenses expectations to range between
$165 million and $175 million, primarily reflecting lower stock based
compensation expense of approximately $10 million which should offset
higher G&A spending resulting from delays in selling company-operated
Applebee's restaurants.
-- Reiterated Applebee's company-operated same-store sales performance
expectations to range between negative 2% to negative 5% for fiscal 2009.
Domestic system-wide same-store sales are expected to perform at similar
levels to that of company-operated restaurants.
-- Revised full year 2009 operating margin performance to range between
13.5% and 14.5% compared to the Company's previous expectations of 12.2%
and 13.2% primarily due to pricing increases and improved labor management.
-- Reiterated IHOP's system-wide same-store sales performance
expectations to range between positive 1% and negative 1%.

Forward-Looking Statements
There are forward-looking statements contained in this news release. They use such words as "may," "will," "expect," "believe," "plan," or other similar terminology, and include statements regarding the strategic and financial benefits of the acquisition of Applebee's International, Inc., expectations regarding integration and cost savings, and other financial guidance. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which 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: the implementation of the Company's strategic growth plan; the availability of suitable locations and terms for the sites designated for development; the ability of franchise developers to fulfill their commitments to build new restaurants in the numbers and time frames covered by their development agreements; legislation and government regulation including the ability to obtain satisfactory regulatory approvals; risks associated with executing the Company's strategic plan for Applebee's; risks associated with the Company's incurrence of significant indebtedness to finance the acquisition of Applebee's; the failure to realize the synergies and other perceived advantages resulting from the acquisition; costs and potential litigation associated with the acquisition; the ability to retain key personnel after the acquisition; conditions beyond the Company's control such as weather, natural disasters, disease outbreaks, epidemics or pandemics impacting the Company's customers or food supplies; acts of war or terrorism; availability and cost of materials and labor; cost and availability of capital; competition; continuing acceptance of the IHOP and Applebee's brands and concepts by guests and franchisees; the Company'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 from time to time in the Company's news releases, public statements and/or filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, especially the "Risk Factors" sections of Annual and Quarterly Reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q.

In addition, the Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This news release includes references to the Company's "net income available to common stockholders, excluding gain on extinguishment of debt, impairment and closure charges and gain on disposition of assets" and the non-GAAP financial measures "EBITDA" and "free cash flow." The former is computed for a given period by deducting from net income available to common stockholders for such period the effect of any gain related to debt extinguishment and disposition of assets incurred in such period. This is presented on an aggregate basis and a per share (diluted) basis. For the latter, the Company defines "EBITDA" for a given period as income before income taxes less interest expense, depreciation and amortization, impairment and closure charges, stock-based compensation, non-recurring acquisition costs, gain on sale of assets, non-cash amounts related to a captive insurance subsidiary and non-recurring expenses associated with strategic alternatives, "EBITDAR" for a given period as EBITDA plus annualized operating lease expense (Rent), and "free cash flow" for a given period as cash provided by operating activities, plus receipts from notes and equipment contracts receivable ("long-term notes receivable"), less capital expenditures and preferred dividends. Management utilizes EBITDA for debt covenant purposes and free cash flow to determine the amount of cash remaining for general corporate and strategic purposes after the receipts from long-term notes receivable, and the funding of operating activities, capital expenditures and preferred dividends. Management believes this information is helpful to investors to determine the Company's adherence to debt covenants and the Company's cash available for these purposes. EBITDA and 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 generally accepted accounting principles.

RESTAURANT DATA
The following table sets forth, for the three-month and six-month periods
ended June 30 of the current year and prior year, information regarding
the percentage change in sales at effective restaurants in the IHOP and
Applebee's systems compared to the same periods in the prior year.
"Effective restaurants" are the number of restaurants in a given period,
adjusted to account for restaurants open for only a portion of the period.
Information is presented for all effective restaurants in the IHOP and
Applebee's system, which includes restaurants owned by the Company,
as well as those owned by franchisees and area licensees. 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, as well as rental payments
under leases that are usually 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 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 and Applebee's systems, which includes
restaurants owned by the Company as well as those owned by franchisees
and area licensees.
(b) "System-wide sales" are retail sales at IHOP and Applebee's
restaurants operated by franchisees and IHOP restaurants operated by
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.
(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 IHOP restaurants located in Florida.
(e) IHOP franchise restaurant sales were $564.3 million and $543.2 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and
$1,146.3 million and $1,090.4 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Applebee's franchise restaurant
sales were $886.4 million and $859.7 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $1,826.3 million
and $1,757.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.
(f) Sales percentage change and same-store sales percentage change for
IHOP company-operated restaurants are not meaningful due to the
relatively small number and test-market nature of the restaurants,
along with the periodic inclusion of restaurants reacquired from
franchisees that are temporarily operated by the Company.
(g) The sales percentage change for Applebee's franchise and
company-operated restaurants is impacted by the franchising of
103 company-operated restaurants during 2008 and five company-operated
restaurants in 2009.
(h) Sales at IHOP area license restaurants were $54.4 million and
$53.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively, and $110.9 million and $111.3 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
