GLENDALE, Calif., July 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- DineEquity, Inc. (NYSE: DIN), the parent company of Applebee's Neighborhood Grill & Bar® and IHOP® restaurants, today announced financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2015.

Dine Logo w/ Tagline

"This was another stellar quarter for DineEquity, reflecting strong financial discipline and the successful execution of our strategic priorities for DineEquity and our two category-leading brands," said Julia A. Stewart, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of DineEquity, Inc.   

Ms. Stewart continued, "IHOP's sales rose 6.2% for the second quarter, which is the largest increase in over a decade.  We believe that our brand building initiatives at Applebee's and IHOP are laying a solid foundation for long-term growth."   

Second Quarter of Fiscal 2015 Financial Highlights

  • Adjusted net income available to common stockholders was $28.9 million, representing adjusted earnings per diluted share of $1.53, for the second quarter of 2015. This compares to $22.1 million, representing adjusted earnings per diluted share of $1.16, for the same period of 2014. The increase in adjusted net income was mainly due to a significant decline in cash interest expense and higher gross segment profit. The growth in gross segment profit was mainly due to the 6.2% increase in IHOP's domestic system-wide same-restaurant sales, which was the highest quarterly sales increase since the first quarter of 2004. (See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.)
  • GAAP net income available to common stockholders was $26.5 million for the second quarter of 2015, or earnings per diluted share of $1.40. This compares to net income available to common stockholders of $18.9 million, or earnings per diluted share of $1.00, for the second quarter of 2014. The increase was primarily due to significantly lower interest expense and higher gross segment profit.

First Six Months of Fiscal 2015 Financial Highlights

  • Adjusted net income available to common stockholders was $60.0 million, or adjusted earnings per diluted share of $3.17, for the first six months of 2015. This compares to $46.1 million, or adjusted earnings per diluted share of $2.43, for the same period of 2014. The increase in adjusted net income was primarily due to a significant decline in cash interest expense and higher gross segment profit. (See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.)
  • GAAP net income available to common stockholders was $54.6 million for the first six months of 2015, or earnings per diluted share of $2.88. This compares to net income available to common stockholders of $39.3 million, or earnings per diluted share of $2.07, for the same period of 2014. The increase was mainly due to a substantial decline in interest expense and higher gross segment profit.
  • For the first six months of fiscal 2015, cash flows from operating activities were $48.1 million and free cash flow was $49.7 million. (See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.)

Same-Restaurant Sales Performance

Second Quarter of Fiscal 2015

  • IHOP's domestic system-wide same restaurant sales increased 6.2% for the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014.
  • Applebee's domestic system-wide same-restaurant sales increased 1.0% for the second quarter of 2015 compared to the second quarter of 2014.

First Six Months of Fiscal 2015

  • IHOP's domestic system-wide same restaurant sales increased 5.5% for the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014.
  • Applebee's domestic system-wide same-restaurant sales increased 2.0% for the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014.

Financial Performance Guidance for Fiscal 2015

DineEquity reiterates its financial performance guidance for fiscal 2015 contained in the press release issued on February 25, 2015 and the Form 8-K issued on February 26, 2015, except for domestic system-wide same-restaurant sales for both IHOP and Applebee's. The Company revised IHOP's sales performance guidance to range between positive 4.0% and positive 6.0%. This reflects an increase from the previous expectations of between positive 2.0% and positive 5.0%.  Applebee's sales performance guidance was revised to range between positive 1.0% and positive 3.0%. This reflects a decrease from the previous expectations of between positive 1.0% and positive 4.0%.  DineEquity's financial performance guidance reflects the impact of a 53rd operating week in fiscal 2015, in which the last month of the fiscal fourth quarter contains six weeks.

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)," "free cash flow," and "segment EBITDA."  "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, and any gain or loss related to the disposition of assets.  This is presented on an aggregate basis and a per share (diluted) basis.  For fiscal 2015, free cash flow" for a given period is defined as cash provided by operating activities, plus net receipts from notes and equipment contracts receivable, excluding direct financing lease receivables ("net receipts from notes and equipment contracts receivable"), less capital expenditures.  "Segment EBITDA" for a given period is defined as gross profit plus depreciation and amortization as well as interest charges related to the segment. Management utilizes free cash flow to determine the amount of cash remaining for general corporate and strategic purposes and for the return of cash to stockholders pursuant to our capital allocation strategy, after the receipts from notes and equipment contracts receivable, and the funding of operating activities, capital expenditures and debt service. 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, free cash flow and segment EBITDA 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 United States generally accepted accounting principles.

Restaurant Data


The following table sets forth, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, 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. 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 may be partially 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 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.



(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 restaurants.  Sales at restaurants that are owned by franchisees and area licensees are not attributable to the Company. Unaudited reported sales for Applebee's domestic franchise restaurants, IHOP franchise restaurants and IHOP area license restaurants for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 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 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 domestic 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 area license restaurants located in Florida.
