DineEquity, Inc. Announces Solid First Quarter 2010 Financial Results
GLENDALE, CA, May 04, 2010 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --DineEquity, Inc. (NYSE: DIN), the parent company of Applebee's Neighborhood Grill & Bar and IHOP Restaurants, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010. DineEquity's financial performance for the first quarter 2010 included the following highlights:
-- IHOP's domestic system-wide same-restaurant sales decreased 0.4% and Applebee's domestic system-wide same-restaurant decreased 2.7% compared to the same periods in 2009. This reflected substantial improvement from IHOP's negative 3.1% and Applebee's negative 4.5% same-restaurant sales performance for the fourth quarter 2009. -- Securitized debt was reduced by $55.0 million for the first quarter 2010 primarily due to the use of free cash flow for ongoing debt retirement efforts. -- Net income available to common stockholders was $12.8 million, or $0.75 per diluted share, for the first quarter 2010 compared to net income of $30.6 million, or $1.80 per diluted share, for the same quarter in 2009. The decrease was primarily due to fewer gains in 2010 with respect to debt repurchases and asset sales to support refranchising. -- Adjusted net income available to common stockholders was $18.7 million, or $1.08 per diluted share, for the first quarter 2010 compared to $19.7 million, or $1.17 per diluted share, for the same quarter in 2009. The decrease was primarily due to a higher income tax rate and increased preferred dividend payments, which were partially offset by improved business fundamentals. (See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.) -- Consolidated G&A expenses decreased 14.8% to $40.2 million for the first quarter 2010 compared to the same period in 2009, primarily as the result of non-recurring start-up costs related to the formation of a purchasing Co-operative in 2009. -- Operating margins at Applebee's company-operated restaurants were 14.8% for the first quarter 2010 as the Company sustained the restaurant profitability improvements achieved in 2009. -- Cash flows from operating activities for the first quarter 2010 were $30.3 million. Consolidated capital expenditures were $2.6 million for the first three months of 2010. Free cash flow was $28.2 million for the first three months of fiscal 2010. (See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.)
"We are pleased with our first quarter performance and are encouraged by sequential improvements in same-restaurant sales at both Applebee's and IHOP restaurants, our solid restaurant operating margins at Applebee's company-operated restaurants, reduced G&A expenses, and the retirement of an additional $55 million of securitized debt during the quarter," said Julia A. Stewart, DineEquity's chairman and chief executive officer. "We continue to deliver on our strategic plan and focus on differentiating the Applebee's and IHOP brands with innovative, compelling menu offerings and advertising efforts. While the consumer spending environment remains challenging, both brands are well positioned to drive sustainable same-restaurant sales momentum and create even greater value for our shareholders."
Same-Restaurant Sales Performance
IHOP's domestic system-wide same-restaurant sales decreased 0.4% for the first quarter 2010 compared to the same quarter in 2009. Same-restaurant sales reflect a higher average guest check and declines in guest traffic. This is a substantial improvement from IHOP's negative 3.1% same-restaurant sales performance for the fourth quarter 2009. IHOP's marketing efforts during the quarter included All You Can Eat Pancakes and Loaded Country Potatoes limited-time offers and IHOP's National Pancake Day event, among other activities.
Applebee's domestic system-wide same-restaurant sales decreased 2.7% for the first quarter 2010, which reflected substantial improvement from Applebee's negative 4.5% performance for the fourth quarter 2009. Domestic franchise same-restaurant sales decreased 2.6% for the first quarter 2010, and company-operated Applebee's same-restaurant sales decreased 3.4% for the first quarter 2010 compared to the same quarter in 2009. Results at Company restaurants reflected declines in guest traffic and a lower average guest check primarily due to unfavorable mix shift, offsetting a 1.4% increase in effective pricing. Applebee's marketing efforts during the quarter included the introduction of its Great Tasting and Under 550 Calories menu offering, Ultimate Trios promotion and gift card redemption activity, as well as other enhanced marketing and promotional activities.
Applebee's Restaurant Operating Margins
Applebee's company-operated restaurant operating margin was 14.8% in the first quarter 2010 compared to 16.3% for the first quarter 2009. The unfavorable comparison was primarily due to promotional activities employed to drive sales and the de-leveraging impact of lower same-restaurant sales on fixed costs, which were partially offset by better labor productivity.
Debt Management
Securitized debt was reduced by $55.0 million during the first quarter 2010 as a result of open market purchases and scheduled payments on the Company's subordinated notes. DineEquity has reduced its total outstanding debt levels by $375.5 million, or 15.2%, since the acquisition of Applebee's in November 2007.
As of the end of the first quarter 2010, DineEquity remained comfortably in compliance with the debt covenants set forth in the Company's securitized debt agreements. The Company's consolidated leverage ratio was 5.83x compared to a required threshold of 7.0x. Debt service coverage ratios (DSCR) were 3.85x for IHOP's securitized debt on a three-month unadjusted basis and 4.10x for the Applebee's securitized debt on a three-month adjusted basis, both compared to a minimum required threshold of 1.85x. Applebee's 12-month adjusted DSCR was 3.13x, compared to a minimum required threshold of 2.20x.
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 first quarter 2010 webcast.
2010 Financial Performance Guidance
DineEquity reiterates its previously announced fiscal 2010 financial outlook of:
-- Consolidated free cash flow to range between $118 and $128 million. Free cash flow consists of consolidated cash from operations ranging between $145 and $155 million plus approximately $16 million generated from the structural run-off of the Company's long-term notes receivable. Uses of cash include consolidated capital expenditures of approximately $20 million and approximately $23 million in preferred stock dividend payments. The Company plans to use available free cash flow to fund further securitized debt reductions this year. -- Applebee's domestic system-wide same-restaurant sales performance to range between flat and negative 3% for fiscal 2010, with Applebee's franchisees slated to open between 25 and 30 new restaurants this year. -- Operating margin at Applebee's company-operated restaurants to range between 13.5% and 14.5% for the full year 2010. -- IHOP's domestic system-wide same-restaurant sales performance to range between positive 1% and negative 1% for fiscal 2010, with IHOP franchisees slated to open between 60 and 70 new restaurants this year. -- Consolidated G&A expenses to range between $158 million and $161 million for fiscal 2010, including non-cash stock based compensation expense and depreciation of approximately $20 million. -- Consolidated interest expense on securitized debt to range between $175 million and $180 million for fiscal 2010, approximately $40 million of which is non-cash interest expense. Depreciation and amortization should range between $65 million and $70 million. The Company's income tax rate is expected to be approximately 34%.
The Company's 2010 financial performance guidance excludes any impact from the future sales of Applebee's company-operated restaurants, the timing of which could be highly variable due to factors including the economy, the availability of buyer financing, acceptable valuations, and the operating wherewithal of the acquiring franchisee. Should company-operated Applebee's restaurants be sold this year, DineEquity plans to update its performance guidance accordingly in conjunction with its regular quarterly reporting schedule following any transaction announcement.

There are forward-looking statements contained in this news release. 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, 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 DineEquity, Inc.'s (the "Company") strategic growth plan; the availability of suitable locations and terms for 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 the Company's indebtedness; conditions beyond the Company's control such as weather, natural disasters, disease outbreaks, epidemics or pandemics impacting the Company's customers or food supplies, or acts of war or terrorism; availability and cost of materials and labor; cost and availability of capital; competition; potential litigation and associated costs; continuing acceptance of the International House of Pancakes ("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.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This news release includes references to the Company's non-GAAP financial measures "adjusted net income available to common stockholders (adjusted EPS)," "EBITDA," and "free cash flow." Adjusted EPS is computed for a given period by deducting from net income (loss) available to common stockholders for such period the effect of any impairment and closure charges, any gain related to debt extinguishment, any intangible asset amortization, any non-cash interest expense and any gain or loss related to the disposition of assets incurred in such period. This is presented on an aggregate basis and a per share (diluted) basis. The Company defines "EBITDA" for a given period as income before income taxes (including gain on extinguishment of debt) less interest expense, depreciation and amortization, impairment and closure charges, stock-based compensation, gain/loss on sale of assets and non-cash amounts related to a captive insurance subsidiary. "EBITDAR" for a given period is defined as EBITDA plus annualized operating lease expense (Rent). "Free cash flow" for a given period is defined as cash provided by operating activities, plus receipts from notes and equipment contracts receivable ("long-term notes receivable"), less dividends paid and capital expenditures. 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. Adjusted EPS, 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 periods ended March 31,
2010 and 2009, 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.
"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 systems, 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-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 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 restaurant closures,
the restaurants open throughout both fiscal periods being compared may
be different from period to period. Same-restaurant sales percentage
change does not include data on IHOP restaurants located in Florida.
(e) IHOP franchise restaurant sales were $599.6 million and $582.0 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Applebee's franchise restaurant sales were $917.1 million and 939.9
million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009,
respectively.
(f) Sales percentage change and same-restaurant sales percentage change for
IHOP company-operated restaurants are not meaningful due to the
relatively small number and test-market nature of the restaurants,
